Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of tirofiban combined with lowmolecular-weight heparin in treatment of acute coronary syndrome.Methods 138 patients with acute coronary syndrome were divided into two groups(observation group and control group).In observation group,80 cases were treated with tirofiban combined with low-molecular-weight heparin on the basis of conventional therapy.In control group,58 cases were treated with low-molecularweight heparin on the basis of conventional therapy.The efficacy and safety were compared between the two groups.Results The total efficacy was higher in observation group than in control group (x2=8.589,P< 0.01).The improvement of 24 h anginal attacks,decrease in values of ECG ST segment and cardiac troponin T value were better in observation group than in control group(all P< 0.05).The blood platelet count and adverse reactions were not different between the two groups(t=0.294,x2 =0.747,both P > 0.05).Conclusions Tirofiban combined with low-molecular-weight heparin is effective and safe in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome.It can increase the clinical effect,improve clinical symptoms and signs in the patients,and is worthy of clinical application.

Abstract: Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) combined with antifungal drugs combined and comprehensive nursing intervention in the treatment of refractory kerion. Methods From January 2019 to December 2022,6 cases of refractory kerion who were treated at the Fifth People's Hospital of Hainan Province with photodynamic therapy (PDT) using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) combined with antifungal drugs. A solution with 20% concentration of ALA solution was uniformly dropped on the cotton sheet, shielded from light for 3 h, and irradiated with (633±10) nm LED red light for 20-30 min. The treatment was performed once a week, with one treatment course consisting of three sessions. Prior to treatment, debridement and fire needles pre-treatment were performed. Provide timely and targeted psychological care during treatment to alleviate psychological negative disorders and health education. Follow-up examinations were conducted 6 months after the treatment to evaluate clinical efficacy, safety and patient satisfaction. Results Six children received standard ALA-PDT combined with antifungal drugs, supplemented by comprehensive nursing intervention. The cure rate of children reached 100%, and no disease relapse or atrophic scar was found. The satisfaction rate of patients and their families was 100%. Conclusions PDT combined with antifungal drugs has obvious clinical efficacy in the treatment of kerion, especially when combined with comprehensive nursing intervention. This approach can help to relieve patients' anxiety, improve treatment outcomes, enhances patient compliance, and further improve patients' satisfaction.
