1.Effect of azithromycin and terbutaline on the improvement of clinical symptoms in children with pneumonia
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2017;37(6):312-314
Objective To investigate the effect of Azithromycin combined with terbutaline on the treatment of pneumonia in children and its effect on symptom improvement.MethodsThe clinical data of children with pneumonia treated in Taizhou Hospital of traditional Chinese and Western medicine from January 2014 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, according to the treatment methods,the patients were divided into control group and observation group, the control group was given azithromycin treatment, the observation group on this basis to give terbutaline atomization treatment.The therapeutic effects of the two groups were observed, and the differences of clinical symptom score, inflammatory factor level were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.ResultsThe effective rate of the observation group was 98%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (84%);The clinical symptom score had no difference between the two groups before treatment, after treatment, the observation group of cough, expectoration, fever and rales were lower than those in the control group;The two groups had no difference between the levels of proinflammatory cytokines, after treatment, the observation group IL-6, IL-8, TNF-and CRP levels were lower than the control group.ConclusionAzithromycin combined with terbutaline in the treatment of children with pneumonia has a better therapeutic effect, can significantly improve the clinical symptoms, reduce the level of inflammatory factors, has a good clinical value.
2.Value of combined detection of claudin 4 and high-risk human papilloma virus in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and cervix squamous cell carcinoma.
Journal of Zhejiang University. Medical sciences 2018;47(4):344-350
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the expression of claudin 4 (CLDN4) in cervical tissues from patients with different cervical lesions, and to explore the value of combined detection of CLDN4 and high risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV).
METHODS:
The cervical tissue specimens of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL, =30), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL, =30), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC, =30) as well as chronic cervicitis (control, =30) were collected from the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital of Zhejiang University during June 2015 and December 2016. The expression of CLDN4 protein in tissue specimens was detected by immunohistochemistry, HR-HPV was detected by real-time quantitative PCR, and the cervical exfoliated cells were examined by thinprep cytologic test (TCT). The ROC curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic value of TCT combined with HR-HPV and CLDN4 combined with HR-HPV tests for HSIL and SCC of the cervix.
RESULTS:
With the increase of the severity of cervical lesions, the positive rate of CLDN4 expression rose (=0.832, <0.05). Positivity of both HR-HPV infection and CLDN4 expression was found mainly in the HSIL and SCC groups. The areas under curve (AUC) of TCT combined with HR-HPV and CLDN4 combined with HR-HPV tests for diagnosis of HSIL and SCC were 0.683 and 0.633, respectively; the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of TCT combined with HR-HPV test for diagnosis of HSIL and SCC were 100.0%, 36.7%, 61.2%, 100.0% and 46.7% respectively; those of CLDN4 combined with HR-HPV test were 96.7%, 30.0%, 58.0%, 90.0% and 55.0%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
CLDN4 expression may be related to the occurrence and development of cervical carcinoma and precancerous lesions. CLDN4 combined with HR-HPV test may be used for diagnosis of HSIL and SCC of the cervix clinically.
