    In-vitro studies showed that honokiol had the effect of inhibiting proliferation and/or inducing apoptosis in human erythroleukemia K562 cells, promyelocytes, HL-60 cells, NB4 cells, U937 cells, THP-1 cells, SUP-B15 cells, Kasumi-1 cells, CEM cells, KG-1a cells, Raji cells, KM3 cells, SP2/0 cells and RBMI8226 cells. Honokiol in combination with chemotherapeutic agents could improve the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents, and enhance the sensitivity of drug-resistant cells to chemotherapeutic agents. An integral experiment showed that, Honokiol could prolong the survival time of mice inoculated with HL-60 cells intravenously or intraperitoneally, inhibit tumor growth and metastasis, and suppress the growth of subcutaneous Kasumi-1 cell xenografts in mice. Honokiol could induce apoptosis of cancer cells by inhibiting NF-κB activation and up-regulating caspase expression, induce the non-apoptosis of cancer cells by up-regulating the expression of cyclophilin D and opening the mitochondrial permeability transition pore; in addition, it could up-regulate the ligand expression of natural killer cell receptor (NKG2D) on the surface of cancer cells to increase the sensitivity of cancer cells to natural killer cells and kill the cancer cells. This paper performs a review on the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of honokiol against hematopoietic tumors and conducts analysis on its research progress.

    Objective: To investigate the drug concentration and other pharmacokinetic parameters in venous blood and blister fluid of patients with extensive burns at different times after administration of vancomycin. Methods: Forty-six patients with a burn area greater than 50% who admitted to Zhumadian Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to June 2020 were selected as research subjects. Drug concentration and other pharmacokinetic parameters in cubital venous blood and blister fluid before administration of vancomycin and at 0.5 h, 1.0 h, 2.0 h, 4.0 h, 8.0 h, 12.0 h, 24.0 h and 48.0 h after first administration of vancomycin were analyzed by HPLC method. Results: The drug concentrations of vancomycin in the blood and blister fluid reached the peak values at 1 hour after administration; the concentration of vancomycin in blood was higher than that in blister fluid at 0.5 h and 1.0 h after administration (P<0.05); the distribution phase confounding parameter (α), elimination phase confounding parameter (β), first-order rate constant for drug transport from peripheral to central compartment (K21), and first-order rate constant for drug elimination from central compartment (K10), and first-order rate constant for drug transport from the central to peripheral compartment (K12) of vancomycin in the blood were all greater than those of the blister fluid (P<0.05), while the half-life of the distribution phase (t1/2α) and the half-life of the elimination phase (t1/2β) of the blood were shorter than those of the blister fluid, the area under the curve (AUC0~∝) of the blood was smaller than that of the blister fluid, and the total clearance rate (CLs) in the blood was greater than that in the blister fluid (P<0.05); no renal function damage and hearing abnormalities occurred 48 hours after administration. Conclusion: The half-life of the drug in the blister fluid is longer than that in the blood after early administration of vancomycin in patients with extensive burns, and the in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters are quite different. Clinically, the monitoring on blood concentration should be enhanced and the administration dosage should be adjusted based on changes in pharmacokinetic parameters of patients.

    Objective: To analyze distribution and drug resistance characteristics of pathogenic bacteria in patients with hematological diseases complicated by blood stream infection (BSI), and the risk factors for mortality. Methods: The medical records of 95 patients with hematological diseases complicated by BSI who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology from May 2019 to May 2021 were selected, the bacterial culture and susceptibility test results of blood specimens of patients were summarized, and the distribution and drug resistance characteristics of pathogenic bacteria were analyzed, to explore the risk factors of mortality. Results: A total of 98 pathogenic bacteria were isolated from the blood samples of 95 patients complicated by BSI, including 59 Gram-negative bacteria (60.20%), 36 Gram-positive bacteria (36.74%) and 3 fungi (3.06%); the drug susceptibility results showed that the drug resistance rates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to meropenem and imipenem were lower (<15.00%), while the drug resistance rates of Staphylococcus hominis and Staphylococcus aureus to linezolid, teicoplanin and vancomycin were 0.00%. The regression analysis results showed that the death of patients with hematological diseases complicated by BSI was associated with the time of indwelling deep venous catheter≥7d, irrational use of antibacterial drugs and SOFA score≥5, which were independent risk factors for death of patients. Conclusion: The pathogenic bacteria in patients with hematological diseases complicated by BSI are mainly Gram-negative bacteria. The distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria should be regularly monitored in clinic practices to improve the efficacy of anti-infective therapy; meanwhile, attention should be paid to the risk factors, such as too long time of indwelling deep venous catheter, irrational use of antibacterial drugs and too high SOFA score so as to avoid the risks in clinical practice and ensure the life safety of patients.
