China Pharmacy 2016;27(18):2521-2523
OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of azithromycin sequential therapy in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia in children. METHODS:67 children with mycoplasma pneumonia were randomly divided into control group(34 cases) and observation group (33 cases). All children received conventional treatment,such as fever,cough,supplemented by nutrition support;based on it,control group received 10 mg/kg Azithromycin for injection,adding into 5% Glucose injection by intrave-nous drip in 200 ml,once a day;observation group received azithromycin(the same dosage with control group)after intravenous drip 5 d,switched to 10 mg/(kg·d)Azithromycin dry suspension,orally,then stopped 4 d after continuous 3 d. The treatment course was 7-10 d. Clinical efficacy,disappearance time of fever,cough and lung rales,and lung indexes before and after treat-ment,and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:There were no significant differences in the to-tal effective rate,disappearance time of fever,cough and lung rales in 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the lung function in-dexes were significantly higher than before,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01),but there was no significant dif-ference between 2 groups (P>0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was significantly lower than control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on conventional treatment,azithromycin se-quential therapy shows similar efficacy to without sequential therapy in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia in children,but with better safety.

OBJECTIVE: To provi de reference for relevant departments to formulate innovation subsidy policies for pharmaceutical enterprises and enterprises to make their own business strategy decisions. METHODS :The listed enterprises in China ’s pharmaceutical industry listed before 2012 were selected as the sample enterprises. The annual reports of listed enterprises in pharmaceutical industry and related panel data in CSMAR database during 2012-2019 were colected. Referring to related literatures , multivariate regression model and threshold model were established to investigate the effects of technology innovation investment ability of sample enterprises ,so as to put forward relevant suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :A total of 57 sample enterprises were included. The panel data of sample enterprises showed that the technology innovation investment of Chinese pharmaceutical enterprises was basically increasing year by year ,but compared with international standards ,the technology innovation investment of Chinese pharmaceutical enterprises still needed to be improved. The results of multiple regression model showed that the technology innovation investment of pharmaceutical enterprises had no significant impact on their current financial performance and the financial performance of the first and second lags (P>0.05). The results of threshold model showed that there was a significant single threshold effect between technology innovation investment and financial performance when enterprise size was taken as the threshold variable (P<0.05). When the enterprise size was less than the threshold value of 20.986,the enterprise ’s technology innovation investment had a negative impact on its financial performance (P<0.05);when the enterprise size was greater than the threshold value of 20.986,the correlation between the enterprise ’s technology innovation investment and financial performance was not significant (P<0.05). It is suggested that China ’s pharmaceutical enterprises should carry out technology innovation activities according to their own strength ,and enterprise managers should formulate different innovation development strategies according to the ac tual situation ,enable enterprises to maintain a reasonable capital structure by broadening financing channels ,identify innovation points according to their own ability ,reduce costs and risks ,and innovate R&D modes,so as to promote the transformation and effective utilization of R&D achievements. Government departments should give full play to the guiding role ,encourage pharmaceutical enterprises to maintain the vitality of R&D and innovation and guide the sustainable innovation and healthy development of the pharmaceutical industry.
