Objective To investigate the value of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein in the diagnosis of early myocardial infarc-tion.Methods In 186 cases of suspected acute myocardial infarction due to chest pain,chest tightness for 3 h,plasma CK-MB, troponin-I(CTn-I)and heart-type fatty acid-binding protein(H-FABP)were detected.The sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing early myocardial infarction were compared among 3 kinds of indexes.Results Compared with the non-infarction group and the con-trol group,plasma CK-MB,CTn-I and H-FABP in the acute myocardial infarction group were significantly increased (P <0.05 );compared with CK-MB and CTn-I,the sensitivity of H-FABP to the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction within 3 h was higher, but its specificity was lower than that of CTn-I and higher than that of CK-MB.Conclusion For the patients with acute myocardial infarction within 3 h after onset,detecting H-FABP can increase the diagnostic rate of early myocardial infarction to a certain extent.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of high-dose second-generation fat emulsion usage on the very low birth weight premature infants.Methods A total of 88 premature infants with very low birth weight (VLBW) in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)of Fujian Provincial Maternity and Children Hospital,Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from December 2013 to December 2014 were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,with 44 cases in each group according to the table of random number.The experimental group received intravenous nutrition with 200 g/L second-generation fat emulsion within 24 hours after birth,the initial dose was 2.0 g/(kg · d) with an increase of (0.5-1.0) g/(kg · d) daily,the maximum dose was 3.5 g/(kg · d);the control group received intravenous nutrition with 200 g/L second-generation fat emulsion 24 hours later after birth,the initial dose was 0.5 g/(kg · d) with an increase of 0.5 g/(kg · d) daily,the maximum dose was 3.5 g/(kg · d).The other intravenous nutrition methods were same.The general conditions at birth,blood biochemical parameters,growth parameters and complications were compared between the 2 groups.Results The mean value of intravenous nutrition duration,length of stay,the glucose infusion rates of postnatal days 6 and 7,the serum triglyceride levels of postnatal days 7,chest circumference of the fourth weeks,the incidence of the low triiodothyronine(T3) syndrome and parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis(PNAC) were (22.27 ± 7.17) d,(37.75 ± 12.28) d,(8.10 ± 0.92) mg/(kg · min),(8.49 ± 1.06) mg/(kg · min),0.18(0.03-0.59) mmol/L and (27.21 ± 1.62) cm in the experimental group respectively,but (27.36 ± 11.37) d,(44.36 ± 16.45) d,(7.98 ±0.79) mg/(kg · min),(8.22 ±0.76) mg/(kg · min),0.28 (0.07-0.99) mmol/L and (26.56 ± 0.96) cm in the control group,respectively,and the differences were statistically significant between the 2 groups (t =2.512,5.403,4.314,9.705,696.500,6.668,all P < 0.05).The incidence of the T3 syndrome and parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC) in the experimental group was 25.0% (11/44 cases) and 0(0/44 cases),respectively,which were significantly lower than those in the control group[81.8% (36/44 cases)and 9.1% (4/44 cases)],and the differences were statistically significant between the 2 groups (x2 =28.542,5.736,all P < 0.05).The 2 groups had no significant difference in the incidence rates of other complications such as necrotizing enterocolitis,infection,retinopathy of prematurity,bronchopulmonary dysplasia,and the duration of oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation(all P > 0.05).Conclusions The high-dose second-generation fat emulsion usage [the initial dose 2.0 g/(kg · d)] in VLBW infants is safe and well tolerated.Advisable parenteral nutrition support strategy can promote growth of VLBW infants,shorten the intravenous nutrition duration and length of stay,reduce the incidence of the low T3 syndrome and PNAC,which has no influence on the incidence rates of other complications.

Antipyretic-analgesics are currently one of the most prescribed drugs in children.The clinical application of antipyretic-analgesics for children in our country still have irrational phenomenon, which affects the therapeutic effect and even poses hidden dangers to the safety of children.In this paper, suggestions were put forward from the indications, dosage form/route, dosage suitability, pathophysiological characteristics of children with individual differences and drug interactions in the symptomatic treatment of febrile children, so as to provide reference for the general pharmacists when conducting prescription review.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness, safety, economy, innovation, suitability and accessibility of recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein (EC), and to provide evidence for selecting skin detection methods for tuberculosis infection diagnosis and auxiliary diagnosis of tuberculosis. METHODS The effectiveness and safety of EC compared with purified protein derivative of tuberculin (TB-PPD) were analyzed by the method of systematic review. Cost minimization analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-utility analysis were used to evaluate the short-term economy of EC compared with TB-PPD, and cost-utility analysis was used to evaluate the long-term economy. The evaluation dimensions of innovation, suitability and accessibility were determined by systematic review and improved Delphi expert consultation, and the comprehensive score of EC and TB-PPD in each dimension were calculated by the weight of each indicator. RESULTS The scores of effectiveness, safety, economy, innovation and suitability of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. The affordability scores of the two drugs were consistent, while the availability score of EC was lower than those of TB-PPD. After considering dimensions and index weight, the scores of effectiveness, safety, economy, innovation, suitability, accessibility and the comprehensive score of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. CONCLUSIONS Compared with TB-PPD, EC performs better in all dimensions of effectiveness, safety, economy, innovation, suitability and accessibility. However, it is worth noting that EC should further improve its availability in the dimension of accessibility.
