OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the economical efficiency of 3 therapeutic plans for acute upper respiratory tract infec-tion caused by group A β-hemolytic streptococcal (GAS). METHODS:In retrospective study,71 GAS positive patients with acute upper respiratory tract infection in our hospital during Mar. 2014-Mar. 2016 were selected and divided into group A(16 cases),B(30 cases),C(25 cases)according to medication method. Group A,B,C were given intramuscular injection of ben-zathine benzylpenicillin(1200000 U),oral administration of penicillin V potassium(0.5 g,q8 h,10 d)or oral administration of amoxicillin sulbactam(0.5 g,bid,10 d),respectively. Clinical efficacy and bacterial clearance were observed,and econom-ics of 3 therapeutic plans were evaluated. RESULTS:The cure rates of 3 groups were 87.50%,90.00%,and 92.00%;bacterial clearance rates were 88.24%,87.87%,and 92.59%,respectively;there was no statistical significance(P>0.05). Cost-minimi-zation analysis was adopted for pharmacoeconomic evaluation. The costs of 3 groups were 237.79,279.49,400.40 yuan,respec-tively. The cure rate and bacterial clearance rate of therapeutic plan C were the highest,but its cost also was the highest. The re-sults of sensitivity analysis were consistent with the results of cost-minimization analysis. CONCLUSIONS:The intramuscular in-jection of benzathine benzylpenicillin can be served as first choice therapeutic plan for recurrent upper respiratory tract infection caused by GAS and patients with rhenmatic fever risk. The patients who are reluctant to be treated with penicillin but guarantee medication time can take penicillin V potassium orally. The patients with poor efficacy of common penicillin can take amoxicillin sulbactam pivoxil.

BACKGROUND: The polarity and the layer-by-layer coating method which are utilized to improve the membrane surface of optical glasses is a new focus for researching in the world. OBJECTIVE: To prepare a stable hydrophilic anti-fogging coating by surface modification. METHODS: Hydrophilic anti-fogging coatings of complexes of polyacrylic acid (PAA), cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) and sodium silicate were fabricated by layer-by-layer coating method. Subsequently, the stable multilayer films were obtained by thermal torrefaction. Then the transmittance, hydrophlicity, and hardness were tested. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the wavelength coverage of 200 nm, the transmittance of the anti-fogging coatings was above 92.9%. In the wavelength coverage of 700-800 nm, the transmittance reached 98.1%, suggesting that the membrane had the good transmittance. Water drop dispersed completely after 230 ms when it contacted with the surface of the multilayer films, suggesting that it had the good hydrophilicity. The hardness of stable films structure was 4 H. The layer-by-layer coating method was simple and favorable for preparing the anti-fogging coatings with good product properties including good stability, anti-fogging function and the improved transmittance.

Objective To explore the role of spinal monocyte chemoattractant protein?1 ( MCP?1) ?extracellular signal?regulated protein kinase ( ERK)?kinesin superfamily motor protein 17 ( KIF17)∕N?methyl?D?aspartate receptor subunit 2B ( NR2B) signaling pathway in the maintenance of type 2 diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) in rats. Methods Type 2 diabetes mellitus was induced by a high?fat and high?sucrose diet and intraperitoneal streptozotocin ( STZ) 35 mg∕kg, and confirmed by fasting blood glucose level≥16?7 mmol∕L 3 days later in male Sprague?Dawley rats aged 6 weeks. Type 2 DNP was confirmed when the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold ( MWT ) and thermal paw withdrawl latency ( TWL ) measured on day 14 after STZ administration decreased to< 80% of the baseline value. The rats with type 2 DNP were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n=36 each) using a random number table: type 2 DNP group (group DNP), type 2 DNP +MCP?1 neutralizing antibody group (group DM), type 2 DNP +ERK inhibi?tor group (group DE) and type 2 DNP + dimethyl sulfoxide group ( group DD). In DM, DE and DD groups, 0?1 ng∕μl MCP?1 neutralizing antibody 10 μl, 0?5 μg∕μl U0126 10 μl and 5 % dimethyl sulfoxide 10 μl were injected intrathecally, respectively, once a day for 14 consecutive days starting from 14 days after administration of STZ. Another 36 normal rats fed a common forage diet were adopted as con?trol group ( group C) . MWT and TWL were measured before STZ injection and at 1, 3, 7 and 14 days after STZ injection ( T0-4 ) . Nine rats were sacrificed after measurement of pain thresholds at T1-4 , and the lumbar segments ( L4-6 ) of the spinal cord were removed for determination of the expression of phosphoryla?ted ERK (p?ERK), KIF17 and phosphorylated NR2B (p?NR2B) by Western blot. Results Compared with group C, the MWT was significantly decreased, the TWL was shortened, and the expression of p?ERK, KIF17 and p?NR2B was up?regulated at T1-4 in DNP, DM, DE and DD groups. Compared with group DNP, the MWT at T3-4 in group DM and at T2-4 in group DE was significantly increased, the TWL at T3-4 in group DM and at T2-4 in group DE was prolonged, and the expression of p?ERK, KIF17 and p?NR2B was down?regulated at T2-4 in DM and DE groups, and no significant changes were found in the pa?rameters mentioned above in group DD. Conclusion Spinal MCP?1?ERK?KIF17∕NR2B signaling pathway is involved in the maintenance of type 2 DNP in rats.

Objective To evaluate the clinical results of arthroscopic reconstruction of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) via posteromedial,posterolateral and posterior trans-septal portals with the preservation of intact meniscofemoral ligaments and remnant PCL fibers.Methods Nine patients with PCL injuries were treated with autogenous hamstring tendons arthroscopically through routine arthroscopic portal,posteromedial portal,posterolateral portal and posterior trans-septal portal with preservation of intact meniscofemoral ligaments and remnant PCL fibers.Tibial tunnel of 1-1.5 cm was made below the lateral articular surface of PCL tibial attachment via arthroscopic posterolateral approach.Femoral tunnel of 1 cm was made posterior to the articular cartilage of the medial femoral condyle through anterolateral approach.Autogenous tendon graft was positioned in the knee joint through the navigation of tibial and femoral double-folded silk loops that traversed the bone tunnels and was fixed with bioabsorbable interface screws at both ends.Knee function was evaluated with Lysholm scale six months postoperatively.Results All patients were followed up for average 8.6 months (range,7-14 months).None of the patients had knee extension limitation six months postoperatively,but there were two patients with 10°-15° flexion limitation and one withⅠ degree positive result in posterior drawer test.Lysholm knee score was increased from preoperative (47.6 ± 14.9)points to (92.9 ±4.6) points at six months postoperatively (P ＜0.01).Conclusion PCL reconstruction via posteromedial,posterolateral and posterior trans-septal portals can obtain clear vision (with no blind area),safe operation,accurate positioning of tibial attachment and affirmative short term treatment results.
