ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To study the value of ADRB2, GLCCI1, FCER2 gene detection in individualized medication of children with refractory asthma.METHODS: Clinical pharmacists participated in therapy for 2 cases of refractory asthma, and comprehensively analyzed risk factors as its pathogenic factors (allergens and pathogens of respiratory infections), lung function indexes and family history. It was suggested to conduct anti-asthmatic drugs gene [p2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2), glucocorticoid induced transcriptional 1 gene (GLCCI1), low affinity IgE receptor (FCER2)] testing. According to detection results, the suggestions were put forward such as increasing the dose of Glucocorticoid for inhalation, stopping β2 receptor agonist, additionally using anticholinergic drug. RESULTS: The clinical physicians adopted the suggestions of clinical pharmacists. After optimizing refractory asthma therapy plan according to the results of gene testing and clinical factors, 2 patients were stable and the number of seizures decreased significanthy. CONCLUSIONS: Gene test can provide evidence for the formulation of individualized therapy in asthma children.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of fetal thymus transplantation on enhancing the immunity of patients with late-stage malignant tumors. Methods The whole thymus of 24～32 weeks fetus was transplanted into the forearm of the patients with late-stage milignant tumors by microvascular surgery. The levels of serum IgA,IgG and IgM were measured before and at the third, 6th and 12th months after operation. No immunosuppressive regimen was performed in all the patients after operation. The follow-up period was 1 to 2 years. Results The clinical symptoms of all the patients improved after treatment, and no rejection reaction occurred. The levels of serum IgA,IgG and IgM significantly increased 3,6 and 12 months after treatment(t≥4.23,P
