OBJECTIVE:To investigate therapeutic efficacy,safety and economics of budesonide for infant bronchiolitis based on salbutamot. METHODS:In prospective study,160 inpatient children with bronchiolitis during Oct. 2014-Apr. 2016 were divid-ed into observation group and control group according to admission order,with 80 cases in each group. Both groups received conventional treatments. Control group was given Salbutamol solution for inhalation 0.25 mL added into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 3 mL,q8 h. Observation group was given Budesonide suspension for inhalation 2 mL added into 0.9% Sodium chlo-ride injection 1 mL+Salbutamol solution for inhalation 0.25 mL,q8 h. Both groups received oxygen driven inhalation,and treat-ed for 5-7 d. Clinical symptom disappearance time,hospitalization time and clinical efficacy were compared between 2 groups as well as therapy drug cost(aerosol inhalation,other therapy drugs). The occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in cough disappearance time,wheezing disappearance time,lung rale disappearance time,tri-re-traction sign disappearance time and hospitalization time between 2 groups(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in to-tal response rate between observation group (95.00%) and control group (92.50%)(P>0.05). The cost of inhalation drugs in observation group [(355.77±10.98)yuan] was significantly higher than control group [(26.83±2.86)yuan],with statistical signif-icance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the cost of routine therapy drugs between 2 groups (P>0.05). There was no significant ADR between 2 groups during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:For infant bronchiolitis,aerosol inhalation of budesonide based on salbutamol sulfate can not significantly shorten disease,shorten hospitalization time and improve clinical ef-ficacy,but increase therapy cost.

Objective To explore the protective effect of vitamin E on the rabbit bladder after partial outlet obstruction artificially setup. Methods A total of 28 New Zealand white male rabbits were divided into 4 groups (group A in 6,group B in 6,group C in 8 and group D in 8).Group A,B and C were fed a regular diet,and group D were placed on a diet enriched with 600 mg vitamin E.After 4 weeks partial outlet obstruction was created in groups C and D,while group B underwent sham operation. After 4 weeks of obstruction each rabbit was sedated and cystometry was repeated.After cystometry the bladder was weighed.The gene expression of sarcoplasmic endoplasmic reticulum,calcium,magnesium,adenosine triphosphatase (SERCA2) in bladder was detected by using RT-PCR assay,while the protein level of SERCA2 was measured by Western blot analysis. Results All parameters measured were approximately identical in nomal rabbits(Group A) and shum operation rabbits(group B).Thus,these 2 groups were combined as the control group(Group A and B).Partial outlet obstruction resulted in bladder weight increased significantly in obstructed groups given vehicle group C(13.07?1.71)g and those vitamin E group D(11.80?2.01)g,4-fold higher than in the control group (2.81?0.30)g(P
