 Methods: A total of 106 patients diagnosed with acute cerebral infarction complicated by pulmonary infection were selected for this study, and admitted to The Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University, Haikou, China from June 2020 to June 2022. Patients were randomly divided into a control group (which received conventional care and cephalosporin antibiotics, n =53), and a study group managed with sustained nursing and cephalosporin antibiotics (n = 53). The study compared various clinical parameters between two groups before and after intervention, including time of symptom relief for fever, cough, and wet rales, as well as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), FuglMeyer Assessment (FMA), Barthel Index (BI), Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score, and severity of pulmonary infection which was assessed by CURB 65 score.
 Results: Compared with control group, study group had a significantly shorter clinical symptom relief time after intervention (p < 0.05). After intervention, NIHSS, SPBS, SAS, SDS, APACHE II, and CURB 65 scores in study group were significantly lower, whereas FMA and BI scores were significantly higher before intervention (p < 0.05). 
 Conclusion: Administration of nursing care and cephalosporin antibiotics reduces the time required for symptom relief, and improves neurological function in patients with acute cerebral infarction and pulmonary infections.","PeriodicalId":23347,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Journal of Pharmaceutical Research","volume":"88 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135685274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

 Methods: A mouse aortic dissection model was established via subcutaneous implantation of angiotensin II (1 µg/kg/min) micropump in the dorsal region. The mice (n = 30) were assigned in equal numbers to 5 groups (n = 6). All injections were given via the tail vein. The miR-22 expressions in aortas of mice in each group were determined with quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Western blot assay was used to determine the expressions of MAPK-14 protein, while H&E staining was used to measure the ratio of aortic thickness-to-diameter, and contents of collagen and elastic fibers.
 Results: The expression of miR-22 in aorta of mice in miR-22 overexpression group was significantly higher than that in overexpression control group, but significantly lower in miR-22 inhibition mouse than in inhibition control mouse (p < 0.05). There was significantly lower protein expression of MAPK-14 in mice aorta in miR-22 overexpression mice than in overexpression control mice, but significantly upregulated in miR-22 inhibition mice, relative to that in inhibition control mice (p < 0.05). In the miR-22 overexpression mice, the ratio of membrane thickness-to-diameter was higher than the corresponding value in miR-22 inhibition mice. There were significantly higher contents of aortic elastic and collagen fibers in miR-22 overexpression mice than in overexpression control and miR-22 inhibition groups (p < 0.05).

 Methods: Viability of A375 and A2058 melanoma cells was determined by cell counting kit (CCK-8) assay. Cell cycle progression was analyzed by 5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining. Migration and invasion of melanoma cells were determined by Transwell assay. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of melanoma cells was investigated by determining expression of E-Cadherin and Snail. Expression of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and lactose dehydrogenase A (LDHA) was assessed via western blotting. Glucose and lactate production was evaluated by corresponding assay kit. The NOX4 and FOXM1 expressions were determined using western blotting. 
 Results: Tectorigenin inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion of A375 and A2058 melanoma cells. Tectorigenin regulated cell cycle progression by decreasing the number of cells in S-phase and significantly inhibited snail expression and increased expression of E-Cadherin (p < 0.05), thus inhibiting the EMT of A375 and A2058 cells. Tectorigenin inhibited expression of GLUT1 and LDHA, thereby leading to reduction in glucose consumption and lactate production. It also significantly inhibited expressions of NOX4 and FOXM1 (p < 0.05), indicating an inhibitory effect on the activity of NOX4/FOXM1 pathway.

 Methods: A total of 43 patients with chronic HBV infection, who had undergone LAM therapy, were enrolled in this study. Treatment was discontinued for patients who met therapeutic criteria set by relevant Asian-Pacific regions. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify the genome in P region of serum rcDNA before treatment, cccDNA during drug cessation period, and serum rcDNA at relapse. Quasispecies cloning and sequencing were performed to identify variable sites in HBV P region.
 Results: Mutations in P region of baseline serum rcDNA were detected in 30 CHB patients, with N/H238T (14/30), L/F/Q/R267H (12/30), V278T (12/30), D134E/I (11/30), and T222A (9/30) having highest rates.

The control patients received slow intravenous injection of propofol (3 mg/kg). The study group was given 5 % sevoflurane and a slow intravenous injection of sufentanil (0.3 μg/kg). Hemodynamic parameters (diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure and heart rate) were recorded before induction of anesthesia, at the time of intubation, during placement of a rigid bronchoscope (when the lens was placed), during removal of foreign bodies, and when extubating. Complications in children in the two groups after the removal of airway foreign body were recorded.Results: At the times of intubation and extubation, blood pressure and heart rate were significantly increased in both groups, but appreciably lower values were seen in study group. The major complications in pediatric airway foreign body removal in two groups were vomiting, bronchospasm and holding of breath.Conclusion: In children with airway extraction, sevoflurane, in combination with sufentanil produced better anesthetic effect and less impact on hemodynamics than propofol. Moreover, the children woke up faster and had fewer complications. The combined anesthesia is safe and reliable.

Utilizing the Cochrane Collaboration bias risk tool, a quality assessment of the included randomized controlled studies was conducted.Results: A total of 12 publications were obtained, consisting of 6 randomized controlled studies and 6 cohort studies. Five of the twelve publications assessed the impact of losartan compared to valsartan on blood uric acid levels. The heterogeneity analysis yielded I2 = 98 % (p < 0.01), indicating substantial variability among the studies. Findings indicated that losartan was more effective than valsartan in reducing blood uric acid levels (SMD = -3.26, 95 % CI (-5.01 to 1.51), p < 0.05).
