In recent years, with the rapid development of antibody drugs, the antibody-based therapies have gradually expanded from the cancer and autoimmune diseases to metabolic and infectious diseases and so on. However, the development of antibody-based anti-infective drugs is much slower as there are only two kinds of drugs in the market. This is due to the complex infective mechanism of viruses, bacteria and other pathogens, and the monovalent character of monoclonal antibodies that greatly limit the anti-infection effect of antibody drugs. The development and application of novel technologies, such as recombinant polyclonal antibody technology, will greatly accelerate the development of antibody-based anti-infection drugs. This article will introduce the application and trends in the development of antibody-based drugs in the field of anti-infection therapy.

Objective: To observe the clinical effects of pediatric tuina plus Chinese medicine for exogenous fever in children. Methods: A total of 150 children withexogenous fever were randomly divided based on the random digital table into a control group (75 cases) and a treatment group (75 cases). The control group was treated with oral Xiao'er Chaigui Tuire Keli (<1 year old, 0.5 bag/time; 1-3 years old, 1 bag/time; 4-6 years old, 1.5 bags/time), 4 times/day. The treatment group was treated with pediatric tuina plus the intervention of the control group. The amount and usage of Chinese medicine were the same as those of the control group; tuina was conducted 1 time/day. The clinical effects and adverse reactions were observed after 3 d of treatment in both groups. The recurrence was observed within 7 d after the end of treatment. Results: The total effective rate was 92.0％ in the treatment group and 81.3％ in the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions in the two groups after treatment. The recurrence rate was 1.5％ in the treatment group and 13.1％ in the control group. The difference in the recurrence rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Pediatric tuina plus Chinese medicine is effective in treating children with exogenous fever.

Objective Diabetes is a common chronic disease in the elderly and needs long-term treatment. This study aims to determine the effect of extended nursing service in rehabilitation of army retired officers with diabetes. Methods We selected 78 ca-ses of military retired officers with diabetes from September 2010 to September 2012 in Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region. According to the different intervention methods, patients were divided into experimental group and control group( n=39 cases) . The control group used conventional nursing service, and the experimental group added extended nursing service on the basis of the control group . After one year follow-up, the fasting blood glucose level, glycosylated hemoglobin ( HbAlc) , self-rating depression scale (SDS) evaluation and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and the changes of patients′ satisfaction of the two groups were observed. Results The fasting blood glucose levels and HbAlc of experimental group were significantly better than control group, with statisticalsignificance (P<0.05);The SAS scores (34.9±5.9)and SDS scores (36.9±4.5) of experimental group were significantly lower than the control group(52.3±4.2 and 55.9±3.9), with statistical significance ( t=5.489, t=5.226, P<0.05);The satisfaction degree of the exper-imental group was significantly higher than the control group (99.8%vs 79.9%, χ2=4.898, P<0.05). Conclusion the extension ofnursing service in health rehabilitation in the retired veteran cadres in the army with diabetes can effectively improve the patient′s fast-ing blood glucose levels, reduce depression, as well as improving the nursing service satisfaction.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate effects of polysulphone membrane filter continuous blood purification (CBP) on decreasing pancreatic amylase and various inflammatory mediators in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis.METHODS: A total of 47 elderly patients with severe acute pancreatitis, who received CBP therapy was included in the experiment, and the blood routine test, blood biochemistry indexes and blood-gas analysis were performed prior to CBP therapy and continuous for 12 and 24 hours. Meanwhile, APACHE Ⅱ, SAPS Ⅱ and MODS scores were graded by recorded the heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), respiratory frequency and body temperature.RESULTS: Compared with pre-treatment, APACHE Ⅱ, SAPS Ⅱ and MODS scores, serum creatinine, hemodiastase, as well as C-reactive protein were decreased after treatment. After treatment, the oxygen index, such as heart rate, MAP, and CVP were declined, and the levels were increased progressively with time prolonged. During the course of CBP, the levels of HCO_3~-, Ga~(2+),and Mg~(2+) were increased than that of pre-treatment. The level of Ga~(2+), Mg~(2+) could maintain in a normal range during CBP therapy, however, it would be decreased when stop treatment.CONCLUSION: The improvement of cardio-pulmonary function relates to interstitial edema of tissue and organs. The effect on removing pancreatic amylase and various inflammatory mediators will be better with time prolonged. It is affirmative to treat elderly patients with severe acute pancreatitis by using CBP therapy.

One hundred and thirty-six adult patients with type 2 diabetes ( ≥40 years, body mass index > 24) were assigned to the low-dose Mefformin, high-dose Mefformin, and control groups. Plasma lactic acid level was detected with ultraviolet enzyme kinetics assay. Our data showed that plasma lactic acid of the low-dose or high-dose mefformin group was significantly higher than the control group (2.314 vs. 2.511, P<0.05 ), although there was no significant difference between the low-dose and the high-dose Mefformin group. In all the 3 groups, increased lactic acid ( > 2. 2 mmol/L) was found in some patients ( Mefformin group vs. Control group: X2 = 7.43, P < 0.05 ), and no lactic acid > 5.0 mmol/L was found. Insulin resistance index and hemoglobin Alc were similar between the 3 groups. Thus, mefformin may not increase the risk of lactic acidosis in diabetic patients with normal cardiorespiratory and renal function.
