This article was aimed to study effect of D-ribose on the high-energy phosphate metabolism of skeletal muscle tissues of tired mice. The model was made by burden swimming. And then, the mice were divided into four groups, which were the model group, D-ribose group, caffeine group, and D-ribose with caffeine group). Intragastric administrations of drugs were given to all mice in four groups, three times per day. And all mice continued to swim for three days. The time of swimming was recorded. Gastrocnemius of mice were removed after swimming or 3 days later to measure the concentration of ATP, ADP, AMP and IMP with the HPLC. The results showed that compared with the control group, the time of burden s wimming was significantly prolonged for mice in the D-ribose group and the D-ribose with caffeine group. After three-day recovery, the concentration of ATP, AMP and IMP of gastrocnemius in the D-ribose group and the D-ribose with caffeine group mice was significantly increased. There was no significant difference in the caffeine group mice. It was concluded that D-ribose is involved in the high-energy phosphate metabolism of skeletal muscle tissues of tired mice . D-ribose promotes the recovery of ATP concentration in the gastrocnemius of tired mice, and prolongs the time of burden swimming. Therefore, it has a certain anti-fatigue effect .

Objective:
To investigate the perceptions towards preoperative assessment of the elderly patients undergoing elective surgery among surgical nurses, providing scientific basis for standardizing preoperative assessment.
Methods:
Eleven nurses were chosen in surgical ward. Data were collected by using semi-structured in-depth interviews and were analyzed with the Colaizzi method.
Results:
Four themes were extracted: Necessity of surgical nurses for preoperative assessment of elderly patients undergoing elective surgery; Perceptions towards the contents of preoperative assessment; Current status of preoperative assessment; Suggestions for preoperative assessment.
Conclusions
Surgical nurses play an important role in preoperative assessment of elderly patients undergoing elective surgery and they emphasize the comprehensive preoperative assessment contents. However, comprehensive geriatric assessment is rarely used, lacking of uniform and standard criteria. We suggest to standardize preoperative assessment, improving the implementation rate and perioperative care, thus promoting rehabilitation.

Objective To estimate the treatment effect of a tumor necrosis factor ? alpha antagonist (etanercept) on Stevens?Johnson syndrome induced by drugs. Methods After exclusion of tuberculosis, hepatitis, severe infections and tumors, 17 patients with drug?induced Stevens?Johnson syndrome were treated with subcutaneous injections of 25 mg(initial dose, 50 mg)etanercept once every 3 days for 6 times. Meanwhile, supportive therapies and compound glycyrrhizin injections were given to counteract inflammation and protect the liver. Results All of the patients were cured. Body temperature in 15 febrile patients gradually decreased within 24- 48 hours after the first injection of etanercept, and returned to normal in 72 hours. The number of vesicles stopped increasing, and lesion color turned from bright red to dull red within 24 hours. Skin condition was evidently controlled within 72 hours, and skin appearance almost returned to normal after 2 weeks of treatment, and was completely restored after 4- 5 weeks. The recovery of mucous membrane was slower than that of skin. Serum aminotransferase levels gradually declined after the first dose of etanercept and almost returned to normal in 2-4 weeks in 14 patients. Serum levels of urea nitrogen and creatinine began to decrease after 1- 2 weeks of treatment. The serum level of tumor necrosis factor?alpha nearly dropped into or was maintained in the normal range within 3 weeks after the start of treatment. Conclusion Early usage of tumor necrosis factor?alpha antagonists at an adequate dose is beneficial to the rapid control of Stevens?Johnson syndrome.

OBJECTIVE:To evalua te the economics of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (G/P)versus elbasvir/grazoprevir (EBR/GZR) in chronic hepatitis C genotype 1b(GT1b)treatment-naive patients without cirrhosis ,and to provide evidence support for medical and health decision-making. METHODS :Under assuming the bid price of G/P and EBR/GZR therapy schemes before medical insurance negotiation was adopted (scenario 1)and assuming that the price of EBR/GZR was reduced by 85% and the price of G/P was reduced by 80%(scenario 2),Markov model was developed to simulate the lifetime cost and health outcomes progress of 10 000 untreated chronic hepatitis C GT 1b treatment-naive patients without cirrhosis and calculate incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER). Single factor sensitivity analysis and probability sensitivity analysis were conducted to verify the results. The highest price(price reduction ratio )of G/P scheme was analyzed with cost-effectiveness advantage ,when other parametes kept stable under scenario 2. RESULTS :Under 2 kinds of scenarios ,compared with EBR/GZR scheme ,G/P scheme had higher cost (scenario 1:68 800 yuan vs. 62 338 yuan;scenario 2:13 760 yuan vs. 11 490 yuan)and healty utility (scenario 1:14.97 QALY vs. 14.90 QALY;scenario 2:14.97 QALY vs. 14.90 QALY),and ICER value of G/P was lower than willingness-to-pay threshold (scenario 1:92 314 yuan/QALY;scenario 2:32 428 yuan/QALY). The change of most parameters in single factor sensitivity analysis didn ’t influence the results of base-case analysis ,and the findings from the base-case analysis were confirmed by probability sensitivity analyses. The price of G/P scheme needed to be reduced by at least 62% to realize cost-effective advantage. CONCLUSIONS : Under the set price scenario ,G/P scheme has cost-effectiveness advantages than EBR/GZR scheme in chronic hepatitis C GT 1b treatment-naive patients without cirrhosis.
