OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy of clarithromycin in the treatment of upper respiratory tract mycoplasmal infections(URTI)in children METHODS:68 cases were divided into two groups according to different therapeutic schemes:observation group(38 patients)received clarithromycin,10～15mg/(kg?d),bid,po,double the first dose;control group(30 patients) were treated with erythromycin,20～30mg/(kg?d),tid,po or iv drip qd for 7 days RESULTS:Observation group had significantly higher overall effective rate(P

Objective: To compare the efficacy of bupivacaine alone or combined with fentanyl, midazolam or tramadolduring PCEA. Methods:Sixty patients scheduled for abdominal hysterectomy under combined epidural and spinal anesthesiawere randomly divided into four groups. Group A received 0. 125 % bupivcaine, group B 0. 125 % bupivacaine + fentanyl(2.5tg/ml), group C 0.125 % bupivacaine + midazolam(0.5mg/ml), group D 0. 125 % bupivacaine + tramdol(3mg/ml).PCEA parameters were a loading dose of 6mi, a bolus dose of 3mi, a lockout interval of 30 min and continuous infusion of2ml/h. The total drug dosage was recorded for up to 24h after operation. The number of PCEA demand, visual analogue painscales(VAS), sedation scales, the incidence of nausea and vomiting, respiratory rate (RR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP)were measured at 4h, 8h, 12h and 24h postoperatively. Results: The total drug dosage, number of button pressed and VAS ingroup A were significantly higher than those in the other groups( P < 0.01 ), which was the least in group D. The sedationscales were the highest in group C. There was a higher incidence of nausea and vomiting in group B. Conclusions: Bupivacainecombined with fentanyl, midazolam or tramadol used for PCEA produces higherquality of pain relief than bupuvacaine alone.

Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive dysfunction and behavioral impairments. Currently, the treatment mainly relies on pharmacotherapy, yet its effectiveness is limited and accompanied by adverse reactions. Multimodal non-pharmacological interventions (MNPI), which combine two or more non-pharmacological intervention approaches, can synergistically improve cognitive function, neuropsychiatric symptoms, activities of daily living, and quality of life in AD patients, and offers advantages of safety, cost-effectiveness and simplicity. This article reviews MNPI-related literature published domestically and internationally from 2018 to 2024, and focuses on the application of cognitive training, physical activity, and other combined intervention methods in MNPI, providing the reference for developing personalized interventions for AD.

Objective Investigations regarding the status of pediatric emergency and relevant facilities distribution in our province represent a crucial prerequisite for further setting up emergency network and improving our first aid capabilities.Methods We had conducted relevant surveys on the medical institutions within our province,including lever 2 and lever 3 hospitals as well as maternal and child care service centers.Results The feedback from 151 institutions indicated that they had 4485 pediatric beds and treated 5 308 severe patients in 2010.Among all,38 hospitals had ventilators for children and 4 hospitals could perform pediatric blood purification treatment.However,no one had mastered the children ECMO technique.Conclusion There is an inadequacy of some emergency equipments and the development in emergency and first aid is uneven.There is a strong request to launch and develop the blood purification and bronchfiberscope techniques,in combination with improvements in the first aid capabilities and emergency network.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different ratios of medicine dosage for isoflurane and propofol on postoperative cognitive function of rats with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Methods Healthy male Wistar rats,aged 16-18 months,were used in the study.MCI model was established by occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries.One hundred and fifty rats with MCI were divided into 5 groups (n=30 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),isoflurane group (group I),propofol group (group P) and different ratios of medicine dosage for isoflurane and propofol groups (IP1,2 groups).The rats inhaled 1.9％ isoflurane for 3 h in group I.Propofol 40 mg · kg-1 · h-1 was infused intravenously for 3 h in group P.The rats inhaled 1.0％ isoflurane,and propofol 20 mg · kg 1 · h-1 was infused intravenously for 3 h in group IP1.The rats inhaled 1.4％ isoflurane,and propofol 10 mg· kg-1 · h-1 was infused intravenously for 3 h in group IP2.After disappearance of eyelash reflex,open reduction and internal fixation was performed after tibial fracture was induced.On 7 days after operation,contextual fear conditioning test and Y maze test were used to assess the cognitive function,and hippocampal tissues were obtained to count the viable neurons (using Nissl's staining) and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) and caspase-12 positive neurons (by immunofluorescence) in hippocampal CA1 region.Results Compared with group S,the rate of time spent in N arm,the rate of time spent freezing,and the number of viable neurons were significantly decreased,and the number of CHOP and caspase-12 positive neurons were significantly increased in IP2,I and P groups (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group IP1 (P＞0.05).Compared with group IP1,the rate of time spent in N arm,the rate of time spent freezing,and the number of viable neurons were significantly decreased,and the number of CHOP and caspase-12 positive neurons was significantly increased in IP2,I and P groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group IP2,the rate of time spent in N arm,the rate of time spent freezing,and the number of viable neurons were significantly decreased,and the nunber of CHOP and caspase-12 positive neurons was significantly increased in I and P groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Combination of 1.0％ isoflurane and propofol 20 mg · kg-1 · h-1 does not aggravate the postoperative cognitive dysfunction of the rats with MCI.

Objective To investigate the long-term effects of propofol postconditioning on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods One hundred and forty-four healthy male SD rats,aged 7-8 weeks,weighing 250-280 g,were equally and randomly divided into 4 groups:sham operation group (group S),I/R group,propofol postconditioning group (group P) and intralipid group (group I).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 10％ chloral hydrate 300 mg/kg.Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by occlusion of middle cerebral artery for 60 min using a nylon thread with a rounded tip which was inserted into internal carotid artery in groups I/R,P and I.Two hour infusion of propofol was started at 20 mg· kg- 1· h- 1 immediately after the onset of reperfusion in group P,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in S and I/R groups,and 10％ intralipid was given instead in group I.Five rats in each group were chosen on day 1,14 and 28 after operation for assessment of neurological behavior and detection of cerebral infarct volume.Six rats in each group were chosen to perform Morris water maze test at day 9 and 23 after operation for 6 consecutive days.Five rats in each group were sacrificed on day 1,14 and 28 after operation and the hippocampal tissues were isolated for determination of the expression of GluR1-containing AMPA (GluR1-AMPA) receptor and GluR1-AMPA receptor in cell membrane.The ratio of GluR1-AMPA receptor in cell membrane/GluR1-AMPA receptor was calculated.Results Compared with group S,neurological behavior scores and the number of animals' swimming across the platform were significantly decreased,cerebral infarct volume was significantly enlarged,escape latency was significantly prolonged,and ratio of GluR1-AMPA receptor in cell membrane/GluR1-AMPA receptor was significantly increased ( P ＜ 0.05),while no significant change in the expression of GluR1-AMPA receptor was found in I/R group ( P ＞0.05).Propofol postconditioning inhibited cerebral I/R-induced changes mentioned above ( P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The brain protection against focal I/R injury by propofol postconditioning can last for 28 days after operation and the inhibition of trafficking of GluR1-AMPA receptor from cytoplasm to cell membrane may contribute to this long-term brain protection.

Objective To evaluate the role of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway in the reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by diazoxide postconditioning in rats.Methods Sixty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 3 months,weighing 240-260 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =12 each):sham operation group (S group),I/R group,vehicle group (V group),diazoxide postconditioning group (D group),and STAT3 signaling pathway inhibitor Stattic group (St group).Myocardial I/R was produced by 30 min occlusion of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery followed by 120 min reperfusion.In V and D groups,0.4％ dimethyl sulfoxide and 7 mg/kg diazoxide (in 1 ml of 0.4％ dimethyl sulfoxide) were injected through the femoral vein at the onset of reperfnsion,respetively.In St group,Stattic was injected through the femoral vein 10 min before reperfusion,and the other procedures were the same as those in D group.The infarct size (IS) and myocardial apoptosis were detected by TTC staining and TUNEL,respectively.Apoptotic index (AI) was calculated.STAT3 mRNA expression in myocardial tissues was detected using RT-PCR.Western blot was used to detect the phosphorylation of STAT3.Results Compared with S group,the IS and AI were significantly increased and the expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 were decreased in I/R group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with I/R group,the IS and AI were significantly decreased and the expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 were increased in D group (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in IS,AI,expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 between V group and St group (P ＞0.05).Compared with group D,the IS and AI were significantly increased and the expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 were decreased in St group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion STAT3 signaling pathway is involved in the reduction of myocardial I/R injury by diazoxide postconditioning in rats.
