Drug Evaluation Research 2017;40(5):679-682
Objective To evaluate the effect of pidotimod combined with antibacterials on the immunologic functions and clinical curative efficacy for patients undergoing recurrent respiratory tract infections.Methods Patients with recurrent respiratory tract infections (150 cases) were enrolled in Matemal and Child Health Hospital of Guangyuan from August 2013 to January 2016,which divided to two groups randomly,Group A (n =75) accepted traditional antibacterials treatment,and Group B (n =75) adopted pidotimod combined with antibacterials.The clinical symptom and immunologic functions of patients during treatment were tested,and the clinical curative efficacy of patients was evaluated in the follow-up period.Results After treatment,the disappear time of cough,fever,tonsil inflammation and pulmonary wheezing in treatment group was significantly shorter than that of control group (P < 0.05).After treatment,the levels of serum immunoglobulin in two groups were higher than those before treatment (P < 0.05),and the treatment group was significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05).After treatment,the relative activities of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,and NK cells in two groups increased significantly (P < 0.05),the relative content of CD4+/CD8+ was also increased (P <0.05),and the improvement of above indexes in the treatment group was more obvious than those in control group (P < 0.05).After treatment,total effective rate of treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group (P < 0.05),the recurrence of infection in the treatment group is significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05),and the recurrence duration was significantly shorter than control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion The clinical curative of pidotimod combined with antibacterials was remarkable for patients of recurrent respiratory tract infections,which deserved popularization not only improving the immunologic functions,but also decreasing the times of recurrence.

Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine 2007;29(9):1278-1281
AIM:To study the effect of Ketangte2 (KTT2)on reducing blood glucose and its mechanism.METHODS:Adrenalin and streptozocin were used to induce hyperglycemia in two mice models,and then treated them with glybenzcyclamide (50 mg/kg),three different dose of KTT2 and normal saline(NS)(0.1 ml/10 g weight)for 15 days.And other healthy mice were set up as control group,During the experiment,the fast blood glucose(FBG),insulin was measured in different time.The pancreas and islets of diabetic mice induced by STZ were studied by pathologic section.RESULTS:In the adrenalin-induced model group,KIT2 could lighten hyperglycemic reaction,which Was significant different from that of model group(P<0.05 or 0.01),while KTT2 high,middle dose group could decrease blood glucose in streptozocin-induced hypoglycemic mice obviously(P<0.01).Histological examination showed that pancreatic island number in pancreas in KTT2 groups increased in comparison with the model group.CONCLUSION:KTT2 can obviously reduce the blood glucose in the two kinds of animal models of hyperglycemia (P<0.05 or 0.01).Its mechanism may be related to the protective effect on islet β cells,thereby increase the insulin secretion.

Objective To preliminarily explore the early process of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in HepG2 cells induced by dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) ,and provide cytological bases for mechanism study of HBV infection in vitro .Methods HepG cells were divided into the DMSO inducing group and control group ,and were cultured 4 days by DMEM containing 1 .5% DMSO and normal DMEM respectively ;changes of cellular morphology were observed .In addition ,selected ECV304 cells as the negative con‐trol group and treated with DMSO .Cells in the three groups were incubated 2 hours with HBV positive serum after culturing 24 hours ,then trypsin digestive solution ,HepG2 cells and ECV304 cells were collected and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for the determination of HBV DNA .Simultaneously ,the blank control group was set ,and the position of HBsAg on HepG2 cells were detected by using indirect immunofluorescence .Results HepG2 cell volume in the DMSO inducing group was obviously in‐creased .HBV DNA was found in HepG2 cells both in DMSO inducing group and control group ,and DMSO inducing group ex‐pressed much stronger .The results of IIF shown that green fluorescent signals of cell membrane and cytoplasm of HepG 2 cells in the DMSO inducing group were increased obviously ,while the results of HBV DNA and IIF both were negative in the negative con‐trol group .Conclusion DMSO could facilitate adsorption of HBsAg in some extent ,which are benefit for completing the process of early infection .

AIM: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and high altitude acute response (HAAR). METHODS: Pulmonary function and partial oxygen pressure were measured in 10 patients with HAAR and 6 patients with HAPE before and after bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL),10 high altitude healthy volunteers were served as control subjects. RESULTS: The partial oxygen pressure of HAAR and HAPE significantly decreased before BAL compared with control; DLCO%, DLCO/VA%, PaO_2 of HAPE increased significantly [from 76.01%?6.29%, 150.30%?15.20%, (31.73?3.01) mmHg before BAL to 103.31%?9.23%, 176.04%?16.10%, (45.31?3.56) mmHg after BAL]. The above parameters were also changed in HAAR and controls, but had no statistical significance. CONCLUSION: High concentration of proteins and cells in BAL fluid for HAPE, gas exchange impairment and PaO_2 increase after BAL suggest accumulation of protein-rich fluid and cells in the alveolar space plays a crucial role in the development of HAPE.

Objective To explore the psychological availability of the full-time candidates for master degree of nursing during the clinical work. Methods A phenomenological approach was adopted in this study. About 11 full-time candidates for master's degree of nursing took part in the semi-structured and in-depth interviews and the acquired data were analysed. Results About 4 themes promoting psychological availability were identified: strong research knowledge and skills, career development confidence, perception of attention from leaders and more satisfactory salary. The four themes hindering psychological availability were:clinical work tasks, lower level of expertise, lack of social support and lower perception of self benefit. Conclusions The full-time candidates for master's degree hold active perception and much expectation about their clinical work but meanwhile they feel passive and disappointed. Nursing administrators should develop distinguishing and definite clinical personnel training and continuing education programs for them, offer them an access to learning chances and emotional support in order to improve the psychological availability and stabilize the nursing team.

Objective To investigate the relationship of the anti-inflammatory effects of tetramethylprazine with histamine and 5-hydroxytryptaphane(5-HT).Methods The contents of histamine and 5-HT in the inflammatory exudate of rats were determined by fluorescence technique.The effect of tetramethylprazine on histamine and 5-HT were analyzed by in-vitro ileum contraction test in guinea pigs.Results Tetramethylprazine significantly decreased the contents of histamine and 5-HT in the inflammatory exudate,and markedly antagonized the contraction of isolated ileum induced by histamine and 5-HT.Conclusion The anti-inflammatory mechanisms of tetramethylprazine may be related to the inhibition of the synthesis or release of histamine and 5-HT,as well as its direct antagonism.
