Objective To explore the effect of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors therapy on bone mineral density (BMD) in active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with low bone mass.Methods Sixtytwo active RA patients with low bone mass were treated with a standard treatment of calcium carbonate 0.5 g/d and alfacalcidol 0.25 μg/d,and were divided into two groups.Patients of the control group were treated with methotrexate 10 mg per week,while patients of the experimental group were treated with combined recombinant human type Ⅱ tumor necrosis factor receptor-antibody fusion protein 50 mg per week or adalimumab 40 mg/2 week subcutaneously for 12 months with methotrexate.BMD of lumbar spine (L2-4),femoral neck,trochanter and Ward's triangle region by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA),as well as the bone turnover markers serum C telopeptide of type-Ⅰ collagen (CTX-Ⅰ) and serum procollagen type-Ⅰ N propeptide (PINP) were measured by enzyme-linkedimmunosorbent assay (ELISA) in both groups at the baseline,treatment for six-month and twelve-month.T test and Chi-square test was used to process the data.Results ① After 6 months of treatment,the BMD of lumbar spine,femoral neck and trochanter in the group with TNF-α inhibitors were higher than the control group [(0.68±0.08) g/cm2 vs (0.65±0.06) g/cm2,t=2.269,P=0.027; (0.63±0.08) g/cm2 vs (0.58±0.09) g/cm2,t=2.111,P=0.040; (0.61±0.10) g/cm2 vs (0.56±0.07) g/cm2,t=2.203,P=0.032; respectively].And after 12 months,the BMD of all regions were significantly higher thanthe control group [spine,(0.68±0.07) g/cm2 vs (0.62±0.08) g/cm2,t=5.115,P=0.000; femoral neck,(0.63±0.08)g/cm2 vs (0.56±0.08) g/cm2,t=3.475,P=0.001; Ward's triangle region (0.60±0.08) g/cm2 vs (0.56±0.08) g/cm2,t=2.309,P=0.025; trochanter,(0.61±0.10) g/cm2 vs (0.53±0.08) g/cm2,t=3.254,P=0.002; respectively].② Compared to the baseline,BMD of lumbar spine was significantly decreased in the control group after 12 months.While in the group of TNF-α inhibitors,BMD of lumbar spine was increased[(0.66±0.08) g/cm2 vs (0.68±0.07)g/cm2,t=3.411,P=0.001].③ Compared to the baseline,CTX-Ⅰ,a marker of bone resorption was significantly decreased at 6 months and 12 months in the group with TNF-αinhibitors [6 months,(0.33±0.2) ng/ml vs (0.46±0.22) ng/ml,t=5.548,P＜0.01; 12 months,(0.31±0.21) ng/ml vs (0.46±0.22) ng/ml,t=5.974,P＜0.01],while this decline was not found in the control group.PINP,a marker of bone formation was stable in both 2 groups during the study.Conclusion In active RA patients with low bone mass,loss of BMD in the spine and hip can be arrested by the treatmentof TNF-α inhibitors.

Objective To understand the epidemic trend and drug susceptibility of pathogenic bacteria in children with lower re-spiratory tract infection to provide the basis for clinical rational drug use.Methods The sputum culture specimens in these two hospitals during 2013 were performed the pathogenic bacterial culture and the drug susceptibility test respectively.The results were conducted the comparative analysis.Results 6124 strains of bacteria were isolated from the children lower respiratory tract sputum specimens in our hospital during 2013,including 5 121 strains of Gram negative bacteria,accounting for 62.7%,which were domina-ted by Haemophilus influenzae,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Escherichia coli,Bauman Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas aeruginosa;Gram positive bacteria were 2734 strains,accounting for 33.5%,the top two were Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus;311 strains of fungi,accounting for 3.8%,and Candida albicans was predominant.1600 strains of bacteria were isolated from the lower respiratory tract sputum specimens in Nanjing Brain Hospital during 2013,including 1 134 strains of Gram negative bacteria, accounting for 70.9%,which were dominated by Klebsiella pneumoniae,Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobact-er Bauman;296 strains of Gram positive bacteria,accounting for 18.5%,Staphylococcus aureus was predominant;170 strains of fungi,accounting for 10.6%,Candida albicans was predominant.The sensitive drugs to Gram-negative bacilli were piperacillin /tazobactam and imipenem,while the sensitive drugs to Gram-positive bacilli were linezolid and vancomycin.Conclusion The Gram negative bacteria are the main pathogens of lower respiratory infection in children,and strengthening bacterial culture and drug re-sistance monitoring is necessary for rational use of antibacterial drugs.

Objective To investigate the effect of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection on plasma lpid and high sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in patients with cerebral infarction, and explore the pathogenesy. Methods Seventy-nine cerebral infarction patients without nearly inflammatory reaction disease were recruited. Hp was detected by breath test,the patients were divided into infection-negative group (15 cases), light infection group (29 cases) and severe infection group(35 cases) according to the results,the last two groups were as infection-positive group. The plasma lipid and hs-CRP levels were exanined.Results Compared with infection-negative group,the total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein,hs-CRP levels increased obviously in infecton-positive group (P ＜ 0.05). The level of hs-CRP in severe infection group was higher than that in light infection group [(10.21 ±4.98) mg/L vs. (5.81 ±4.21) mg/L](P=0.001 ). Conclusions Hp infection may increase vascular inflammatory reaction through lipid metabolic disturbance. The cerebral infarction with higher Hp infection, and with the degree of infection increased, the risk is also increased accordingly.

Objective:To find the reasons for the low dissolution of clarithromycin tablets and study the interference from filter film adsorption at various time points to explore the appropriate processing approach for dissolution solution of clarithromycin tablets. Meth-ods:Clarithromycin tablets from two different manufacturers were used. The dissolution solution was prepared according to Japanese Orange Book. The dissolution was determined after different processing and the adsorption rate of the filter film was calculated. Re-sults:Totally 14 kinds of filter films were tested with different adsorption for clarithromycin, and the adsorption rate of some kinds of filter films exceeded the prescribed limit. Conclusion:The absorption rate of filter films for clarithromycin can be decreased by boiling the films and using American membranes. The interference from filter film adsorption can be reduced and inhibited by rejecting the first filtrate above 5ml or centrifuging dissolution solution.
