Objective To observe clinical effect of treating bronchial asthma in the acute attack with xiaoqinglong decoction combined with western medicine. Methods 50 patients with bronchial asthma were randomly divided into two groups. The control group was treated with theophylline sustained release tablets, 0.1 g～0.2 g for each time, twice a day,salbutamol sulfate (inhaled), 200 μg (2 spray) for each time, twice a day, beclomethasone dipropionate aerosol (inhaled),100 μg (2 spray) for each time, twice a day, antibiotics, oxygen inhalation when necessary, infusion, and correcting water-electrolyte and acid-base imbalance if necessary. Based on the control group, the treatment group was treated with Xiaoqinglong decoction for continuous 3 courses, once a day, 7 days as a course. The clinical effect and adverse reaction were observed between control group and treatment group after the treatment. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and the control group was 84.6% and 66.7% respectively. The clinical effect in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (χ2=2.762, P＜0.05). Conclusion Xiaoqinglong decoction combined with western medicine has better effects bronchial asthma in the acute attack than western medicine.

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the rational drug use condition in Shenzhen area and to promote the rational drug use level. METHODS: A multi-center randomized parallel test was conducted in 6 different levels of hospitals in Shenzhen area. In which the prescriptions in two months and the outpatients visiting the hospitals on that day were surveyed on the spot in respect of the international rational drug use (RDU) indicators then the data were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: Prescription indicators were as follows: the average number of drugs was 2.44; the percentage of antibiotics prescribed was 43.7%and that for injection was 22.3%. Patient care indicators were as follows: the average consultation time was 6.97 minutes; average dispensing time was 16.77 seconds; percentage of drugs actually dispensed was 100%; percentage of drugs actually labeled was 100%; percentage of patients’ knowledge of correct use of drugs was 96.5%. CONCLUSIONS: The rational drug use level in Shenzhen area is still low and problematic and the care given by doctors and pharmacists to the patients is insufficient, which remain to be improved and tackled.

Objective To study the relationship between the variation of the 20 exon of leptin receptor (LEPR) and lipid metabolism of the children with obesity. Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragments length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were used to analyze the variation of the 20 exon of the LEPR gene of the obesity group (120 obese children) and the control group (120 healthy children). Their serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), height, weight measured and the body mass index (BMI), fat percent (%fat) were calculated. Results 3 genotypes of the 20 exon of LEPR gene has been detected. Compared with the control group, the frequency of the gene variation at 3057 nucleotide G→A transversion is higher (P<0.05).The concentration of the serum TG, the level of BMI and %fat of the obese children with A/A genotype were higher than that with the G/G genotype (P<0.01),but the level of the serum HDL was lower (P<0.01).To the children with A/G genotype, only their TG level in serum are higher than that with the G/G genotype (P<0.05). Conclusion There is polymorphism at 20 exon LEPR gene in children with obesity, which may affect the lipid metabolism and the fat distribution. The obese children with A/A genotype should pay more attention to their diet to avoid some diseases followed obesity.

This study is to investigate the protective effects of the SB203580 against radiation induced mortality and intestinal injury of mice. A total of 67 male C57BL/6 mice (20.0-22.0 g) were matched according to body weight and randomly assigned to one of three groups: control, total body irradiation exposure (IR, 7.2 Gy) only, and IR (7.2 Gy) + SB203580 (15 mg x kg(-1)). 30 days survival rate was observed in the experiment. In intestinal injury experiment, the expression levels of caspase-3, Ki67, p53 and p-p38 were assayed in the mice intestine crypts. The results showed that the 30 days survival rate was 100% (control), 0 (IR) and 40% (IR+ SB203580), separately. Compared to the IR groups, the positive cells of caspase-3, p53 and p-p38 in crypt cells decreased 33.00%, 21.78% and 34.63%, respectively. The rate of positive cells of Ki67 increased 37.96%. Significant difference was found between all of them (P < 0.01). SB203580 potently protected against radiation-induced lethal and intestinal injury in mice, and it may be a potential radio protector.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) and karyotyping in the prenatal diagnosis for carriers of balanced translocations. METHODS: Clinical records of 135 amniocentesis samples of balanced translocation carriers undergoing simultaneous CNV-seq and karyotyping were analyzed. Chromosomal aberrations were defined as those can definitely lead to birth defects definitely, which included chromosomal numerical abnormality, large deletion/duplication and pathogenic copy number variations (pCNVs). RESULTS: The detection rates for karyotyping and CNV-seq were 4.44% (6/135) and 5.93% (8/135) respectively, and the latter had a detection rate of 1.48(2/135) higher than the former. A total of 68 fetal chromosomal translocations were detected by karyotying analysis. CONCLUSION For couples carrying a balanced translocation, simultaneous CNV-seq and karyotyping is conducive to the detection of fetal chromosomal abnormalities and genetic counseling.
