China Pharmacist 2016;19(2):332-334,405
Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Suhuang Zhike capsules combined with montelukast in the treatment of cough caused by upper respiratory infection. Methods:Totally 120 patients with cough after upper respiratory infection were randomly divided into the treatment group (64 cases) and the control group (56 cases) by the random number table. The control group received Montelukast chewable tablets alone(10 mg,po qn), while the treatment group received Suhaung Zhike capsules(1. 35 g,po,tid) com-bined with Montelukast chewable tablets. The treatment course was 2 weeks, and the efficacy and adverse reactions between the two groups after the treatment were compared. Results:The significant efficiency and the total efficiency of the observation group were sig-nificantly highter than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). After the treatment, the cough symptom score and the expectoration symptom score of the two groups were decreased significantly than those before the treatment (P<0.05), both scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group after the treatment(P >0. 05). The incidence of adverse reactions of the two groups had no significant differencet(P<0. 05). Conclusion: As for the clinic efficacy, the combination of Suhaung Zhike capsules and Montelukast is significantly better than Montelukast therapy, and the combina-tion is an effective and safe treatment for cough after upper respiratory infection and worthy of promotion in clinical practice.

Methods 438 single folliculars were respectively meas-ured by the same sonographer in 2D and 3D ultrasonic measurement.2D diameter, 3D mean diameter and 3D virtual ball diameter of every single follicle were recorded , and Bland-Altman method were used to evaluate the consistency of the results by these two meth-ods. Results In the consistency analysis on the diameter measurement of single follicle by 2D and 3D mean diameter measurment methods, d equaled -1.06 mm, and 95% LoA range covered the range of -4.82 mm to 2.70 mm.95% CI of 95% LoA range,-5.21 mm to 3.08 mm, was beyond the settings of clinical acceptable error limit range , -3.56 mm to 1.44 mm, showing poor consis-tency.Likewise, in the research of the consistency in the measurement of 2D diameter and 3D virtual ball diameter in the diameter measurement of single follicle , d equaled -0.07 mm , and 95%LoA range covered the range of -3.11 mm to 2.98 mm.95%CI of 95%LoA range, -3.43 mm to 3.29 mm, was beyond the settings of clinical acceptable error limit range , -2.57 mm to 2.43 mm, showing poor consistency . Conclusion 2D and 3D ultrasound measurements in the diameter measurement of single follicle are not consistent.However, considering the objectivity and accuracy of the results , 3D ultrasonography still has an advantage over 2D ultra-sonography , which can provide more acurate aid for assisted reproductive technology .

Objective To observe the curative effect of head hypothermia combined with mouse nerve growth factor in the treatment of neonatal moderately severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).Methods 50 cases of severe HIE were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 25 cases in each group.Both two groups were given the conventional treatment.The observation group was given head hypothermia treatment in 6 hours after born,to maintain the nasopharyngeal temperature (34.0 ±0.5)℃,anal temperature (35.5 ±0.5)℃,72 hours continuously.At 96 hours after the birth,the nerve growth factor was given.The control group did not give the head mild hypothermia treatment.At 96 hours after birth,the nerve growth factor (methods,dosage and treatment were the same as the observation group)was treated with nutrition and brain nerve.After treatment,the improvements of heart rate,muscle tension,convulsions and disturbance of consciousness were observed in two groups.After 3 days,2 weeks and 4 weeks,the neonatal behavioral neurological assay (NBNA),1 and 3 months after birth,the outfit cranial MRI plain scan and brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP)were evaluated.Results NBNA scores of the two groups were compared in 3 days,2 weeks and 4 weeks after birth,the differences were statistically significant (t=2.53, 2.89,3.23,all P<0.05).In the observation group,the abnormal brain MRI was significantly less than the control group,the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =24.125,P<0.05).In the observation group,the number of abnormal auditory evoked potential was significantly less than that of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =21.312,P<0.01 ).Conclusion Head hypothermia combined with mouse nerve growth factor therapy for the treatment of neonatal moderately severe HIE has protective effect,it can improve the treatment efficacy, reduce the long-term neurological sequelae,and without adverse reaction.

objective To assess the effect of aldosterone on the production of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)and collagen Ⅳ in culture supematants of podocytes and the possible molecular mechanisms involved in the influence of aldosterone on the synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix produced by podocytes. Methods Podecytes were treated with aldosterone at the concentration of 10-11, 10-9, 10-7 mol/L respectively. Cultured podocytes were examined at 24, 48 and 72 hours respectively. Spironolactone, a receptor antagonist of aldosterone, was added to observe the blocking effect on aldosterone. An inhibitor of TGF-β1 receptor was used to determine whether the effect of aldosterone on podocytes were mediated through TGF-β1 system. The enzymatic activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were assayed by gehtin zymography. Collagen Ⅳ 0.5 chain and TGF-β1 proteins released into culture supematants were assessed by Western blot and ELISA analysis. The adhesion rate of podocytes was monitored by flow cytometry. Results Aldosterone increased the activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in a dose- and time-dependent manner (P<0.05). Aldosterone decreased the level of collagen Ⅳ or5 chain protein in culture supernatants (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the expression of TGF-β1 was also increased (P<0.05). Spironolactone completely abolished the above-mentioned changes(P< 0.05). Blockage of TGF-β1 signaling with SB431542 prevented the aldosterone-induced upregulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 as well as the downregulation of the collagen Ⅳ α5 chain protein and the adhesion rate of podocytes (P<0.05). Conclusions Aldosterone increases the activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 but decreases the expression of collagen Ⅳ α5 chain and the adhension rate of podocytes possibly via TGF-β1 signaling pathway. Such alterations may contribute to glomerular podocyte injury associated with the GBM abnormality caused by the imbalance between matrix synthesis and degradation.
