International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(9):721-725
Objective To observe and compare the clinical efficacy,recurrence rate and safety of differ-ent courses of inhalation fluticasone propionate in treatment of children with cough variant asthma. Methods A total of 101 children with cough variant asthma in our hospital were randomly divided into three treatment groups,all with the same therapy drug -fluticasone propionate and with the treatment time of two months, six months and nine months respectively. Clinical efficacy and treatment compliance were followed up during the treatment. After discontinuation,observation for the relapse of cough was followed up for 6 months. In inhalation therapy before and after,bone mineral density( BMD) and blood cortisol,electrocardiogram were monitored re-spectively to observe its safety. Results Three groups of children with cough were all get effective control,with no significant difference(H=5. 2894,P=0. 0710). The two months treatment group(A group)was more easy to relapse than the six months treatment group( B group) and the nine months treatment group( C group) after drug withdrawal,statistically significant(χ2 =4. 858 1,P=0. 027 5;χ2 =4. 482 6,P=0. 034 2). But after drug with-drawal,there was no significant difference in the rate of relapse in B and C group(χ2 =0. 022 2,P=0. 881 4). There were few changes in laboratory values about morning serum cortosol concentrations. There was no signifi-cant decrease in BMD after treatment. No other adverse events were observed in this study. Conclusion Flutica-sone propionate inhalation treating children cough variant asthma has good effection. A long period of treatment scheme(6 months)has better curative effect and lower recurrence rate after drug withdrawal.

Objective To investigate the interference effect of calcium dobesilate on serum creatinine levels by Sarcosine oxidase-based assay.Methods 1.Interference test in vivo:Ten patients with chronic renal diseases from Huangshi second hosptial were recruited.Serum creatinine (sarcosine oxidase method,Scr1 ; deiminase method,Scr2),urea,and cystatin C were detected and compared before and after one week administration of calcium dobesilate; 2.Interference test in vitro:to detect whether 100 mg/L calcium dobesilate has any interference with Scr1 and Scr2; 3.Dose-dependent interference test:To detect the interference effect of different concentrations of calcium dobesilate (1.25-20.0 mg/L) on different creatinine concentrations (404.5 μmol/L or 65.9 μmoL/L) measured by sarcosine oxidase assay.Bias within 3.5% or 6.63 μmol/L of creatinine levels was clinically acceptable.Statistical comparisons were made using Wilcoxon rank-sum test.Results There was significant difference of sarcosine oxidase-based serum creatinine levels between before and after one week administration of calcium dobesilate (P < 0.05),while no significant differences were observed for deiminase-based serum creatinine levels,urea and estimated GFR values (P > 0.05).Interference test showed that 95% confidence interval of interventional value (Dobs) of calcium dobesilate (100 mg/L) was (-173.9 ± 2.86) μmol/L for the sarcosine oxidase assay and (1.21 ± 3.14) μmol/L for deiminase method,indicating that calcium dobesilate caused a significant negative effect on the former enzymatic assay but not the latter one.In the dose effect interference test of calcium dobesilate,the regression equations were:Y =-2.7649X-0.0782 (R2 =0.998,F =7943.4,P =0.000) for high creatinine levels and Y =0.0263X2-1.6394X-0.2754 (R2 =0.996,F =2546.7,P =0.000) for low creatinine levels.The interference effect was less than the predetermined d with the calcium dobesilate concentrations of 4.4 mg/L in high concentration specimen and 3.5 mg/L in low concentration specimen.Conclusions Calcium dobesilate has a significant negative interference with serum creatinine detected by the sarcosine oxidase method,which leads to the bias of creatinine in patients with renal insufficiency.Hence,sarcosine-oxidase-based creatinine levels should be cautious when calcium dobesilate was used,and further check with another assay is necessary if possible.

China Pharmacy 2015;(23):3285-3286,3287
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effects of different disinfectants on results of antibiotics skin test,and to improve the accuracy of the judgment results of antibiotics skin test. METHODS:1 500 patients undergoing antibiotics skin test of penicillin and cephalosporin were randomly divided into group A and group B with 750 patients in each group. Group A was given 75% etha-nol disinfection,and group B was given iodine disinfection. The incidence of false positive results were compared after disinfected with 2 kinds of disinfectants. RESULTS:The incidence of false positive result in group B was lower than in group A,with statisti-cally significant difference (χ2=10.004,P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:For skin disinfection of antibiotics skin test,iodine is better and safer than 75%ethanol.
