OBJECTIVE:To review economics of budesonide/formoterol and fluticasone/salmeterol for asthma systematically, and to provide evidence-based basis for rational selection of drug to treat asthma. METHODS:Retrieved from Medline,EMBase, EBM reviews (HTA,NHSEED),CBM,CJFD,Wanfang database,researches about pharmacoeconomics of budesonide/formoterol (test group) versus fluticasone/salmeterol (control group)for asthma were collected,and analyzed with qualitative systematic re-view method. RESULTS:A total of 7 researches and 13 comparative data were included,containing 6 682 patients. The incidence of severe acute asthma of test group were lower than those of control group,with significant difference(P<0.05). The total costs and direct costs of test group were lower than those of control group. Good effect had been achieved in test group with low cost. CONCLUSIONS:Budesonide/formoterol is more cost-effective than fluticasone/salmeterol in teenagers patients and adults who fail to control asthma. Due to limitation of included studies,large-scale and high-quality studies are required for further validation of the conclusion.

Objective To explore the impact of environment factors and social economic factors(environment interference factors for short)and control measures on the endemic status of schistosomiasis in Poyang Lake Eco?economic Region. Meth?ods The grey relational analysis model was applied to analyze the relationships between the key indexes of schistosomiasis epi?demic status and the environment interference factors and control measures in Jiujiang City of Poyang Lake Eco?economic Re?gion. Results Six environment factors,which included the annual average water level of Poyang Lake,average annual tempera?ture,storm frequency,annual average relative humidity,annual sunshine duration,and annual precipitation,had the most closed relationship with the indexes of schistosomiasis epidemic status(all ri>0.9). Among the socioeconomic factors,the num?ber of health technicians and beds of health facilities were most associated with the indexes of schistosomiasis epidemic status. Among the control measures of schistosomiasis,the number of cattle treated with extending chemotherapy,chemically killing of Oncomelania hupensis snails and eco?renovation were most associated with the indexes of schistosomiasis epidemic status. Con?clusion The various environment interference factors and their interaction should be considered in formulating the comprehen?sive control strategy for schistosomiasis,and the control strategy should be adjusted according to the epidemic dynamic and schistosomiasis?focused targets,so as to further strengthen the scientificity and validity of the control strategy.

Objective To investigate the occurrence trend and risk factors of recurrent respiratory tract infection during the ifrst year after Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) in children. Methods The clinical data of 133 children complete-ly recoved from MPP and one year follow-up after MPP were included in this study, MPP IgM IgG double antibody titer were measured in different time slots (3 month, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months) after discharge. Information on frequency of recurrent respiratory tract infections, respiratory tract infection site, and drug use within one year were collected. Possible factors affecting the occurrence of recurrent respiratory tract infection were analyzed by means of single factor and multi factor analyses. Results In 133 patients, the recurrent rate was 31.58%in the ifrst year;aged 3-6 years old (OR=2.29,95%CI:1.13~4.64), or continuous positive or negative to positive antibodies (OR=4.47,95%CI:1.47~13.65), or low CD4/CD8 (OR=10.26,95%CI:3.30~31.90), or low IgA (OR=1.90,95%CI:1.06~3.40) is independent risk factor of recurrent respiratory tract after MPP;immune enhancer therapy is an independent protective factor (OR=0.29,95%CI:0.11~0.78). Conclusions Immune function disorders in the ifrst year after MPP were independent risk factors of recurrent respiratory tract infection. MP antibody positive without clinical symptoms and sustained antibody positive can not prevent the recurrence of respiratory tract infection without use of antibiotics. Immune enhancer was advocate to adjust immune function and reduce the incidence of repeated respiratory tract infection.
