Objective To explore the effect and lung function of the budesonide combined with montelukast for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and the effect on serum IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α.Methods 120 patients with COPD in our hospital from April 2012 to December 2013 were randomly divided into observation group and control group (n =60 ).Observation group was given budesonide combined with montelukast on the basis of general routine treatment and control group was given budesonide on the basis of general routine treatment.The lung function and the level of IL-6、IL-8 and TNF-αin serum were detected berore and after treatment.Results The efficacy in observation group was significantly better than that in control group(P<0.05).The forced vital capacity(FVC),forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),maximal mid expiratory flow(MMEF),and peak expiratory flow(PEF)in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05 ).In addition, after treatment the levels of IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-αexpression in serum of the observation group and control group were significantly lower than before treatment,but the levels of the observation group after treatment was significantly lower than the control group,the difference were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The efficacy of the budesonide combined with montelukast for treatment of COPD is exact by reducing cytokine release, controling airway inflammation to improve the lung function.It is worthy to be popularized.

According to the results of quantum chemistry calculation and the present research status in the relationship between the structures and the functions of DT, the E154 in DT catalyzing domain was mutated to aspartic acid and arginine in order to study the effects of the alteration on the biological activities. By means of gene site-direct mutation, two mutated genes were prepared and the high performance expression was obtained in E.coli system. The results of toxcity studies indicated that the acute toxicity in guinea pig and cytotoxicities of mutant E154D increased slightly in compared with those of recombination wild toxin, and contrarily, those of E154R decreased obviously.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy of levodopa combined with comprehensive therapy for ametropic amblyopia children and teenagers and its effeets on pattern visual evoked potential(P-VEP)and visual function. METHODS:70 pa-tients(80 eyes)with ametropic amblyopia were randomly divided into observation group(35 cases,40 eyes)and control group(35 cases,38 eyes). Control group received comprehensive therapy as wearing correctional glasses,occlusion therapy and visual stimu-lation training;observation group additionally received levodopa 0.125(d1-3)-0.25 g/time,bid,on the basis of control group for 6 months. Therapeutic efficacy,P-VEP,Visual sensitivity and visual function were compared between two groups,and the occur-rence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:The effective rate of observation group(92.50%)was significantly higher than that of con-trol group(76.32%),with statistical significance(P<0.05);the wave amplitude of P-VEP P100 in observation group were signifi-cantly greater than in control group,and the incubation period was significantly shorter than control group,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05);visual acuity under different spatial frequency contrast were significantly higher than control group,and correc-tion convergence range and correction separation range of observation group were significantly greater than those of control group, while corrected near stereo vision was significantly less than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in ADR incidence between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Levodopa combined with comprehensive therapy can improve the function of visual central neurons,and improve visual acuity and binocular stereo vision functions so as to improve therapy efficacy.

Objective To investigate the value of prenatal ultrasound in diagnosis and treatment of twin reverse arterial perfusion (TRAP) syndrome. Methods A retrospective study was performed in 5 TRAP cases, including ultrasound images, clinical data and pregnancy outcomes. The sonographic characteristics were summarized. Results Five TRAP cases were diagnosed during 13 to 28 weeks' gestation and confirmed after birth. Color Doppler unltrasonography revealed retrograde umbilical artery perfusion towards acardiac twin. Two of 5 cases ended up in induced abortion, 1 in spontaneous abortion, 1 was delivered at 37 weeks' gestation after ultrasound-guided feticide of the acardiac twin and 1 was monitored closely with ultrasound and delivered alive at 32~(+4) weeks' gestation. Conclusion Prenatal ultrasonography has great applicative value for TRAP syndrome in early diagnosis, choosing optimal treatment and prognosis assessment.

Objective To investigate the antibacterial properties and curative effects of a nanosilver-epidermal growth factor (NanoAg-EGF) sustained-release carrier.Methods First,in accordance with former method,sustained-release carrier of NanoAgEGF was prepared,with the design of the NanoAg-EGF group,NanoAg-alone group,EGF-alone group,control groups of normal saline-alone,and benzylpenicillin sodium.Contrasting detection on antibacterial properties of five kinds of common microbes (staphylococcus aureus,escherichia coli,pseudomonas aeruginosa,candida albicans,and streptococcus pneumonia) in each group was used to confirm their antibacterial properties.Then,wound models of diabetic rats were randomly divided into five groups,with the wound treatments by sustained-release cartier of NanoAg-EGF,combined application of NanoAg + EGF,EGF-alone,NanoAg-alone,and normal saline-alone control group,respectively.The observation on the healing situation of each group in different times was used to ensure the curative effect.Results In the antibacterial experiments,it was found that the NanoAg-EGF and NanoAg had strong antibacterial properties.Their antibacterial properties had no significant difference (P > 0.05).The control group,penicillin sodium only had relatively weak antibacterial properties on staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus pneumoniae,with obviously weaker function compared to the NanoAg-EGF and NanoAg groups (P < 0.05).The control groups,EGF-alone and normal saline-alone had no inhibitor function on each kind of pathogenic microorganisms.In the wound healing experiments on diabetic rats,it was found that NanoAgEGF shortened significantly the wound healing time of diabetic rats (P < 0.05).On the 3rd day,the healing rate of each group had no difference (P > 0.05).On the 7th day and 13th day,the healing rates of NanoAg-EGF [(61.71 ± 8.78)% and (100 ± 2.60) %] were significantly higher than the other four groups (P < 0.05).Conclusions NanoAg-EGF not only has good antibacterial properties but also can promote rapidly the wound healing of diabetes.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of dragon-tiger contending needling at Xi-cleft points plus electroacupuncture in treating postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).Method Seventy PHN patients were randomized into a treatment group of 36 cases and a control group of 34 cases. The treatment group was intervened by dragon-tiger contending needling at Xi-cleft points plus electroacupuncture, while the control group was treated with electroacupuncture alone. In the 4-week treatment, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores right before and after the 1st, 2nd, 6th, 9th and 12th treatment sessions were recorded, “the maximum pain intensity since the last treatment session” and “real-time analgesic effect” were observed, and the total therapeutic efficacy was also evaluated.Result The real-time analgesic effects right after the 1st, 2nd and 6th treatments in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0.05). The “maximum pain intensities since the last treatment session” prior to the 2nd, 6th, 9th, and 12th treatment sessions were significantly different from the pain intensity before the intervention in the two groups (P<0.05). The “maximum pain intensities since the last treatment session” prior to the 6th, 9th, and 12th treatment sessions were significantly different from those in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate and recovery plus markedly-effective rate were respectively 97.2% and 77.8% in the treatment group, versus 91.2% and 59.2% in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference in the recovery plus markedly-effective rate between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Dragon-tiger contending needling at Xi-cleft points plus electro- acupuncture is an effective approach in treating PHN; it acts efficiently and can produce a satisfactory real-time analgesic effect.
