ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of atomization with budesonide, salbutamol, and acetylcysteine in the adjuvant treatment of bronchopneumonia in children.Methods:Seventy-two children with bronchopneumonia admitted to Huaiyuan Jingtu Hospital from July 2021 to June 2022 were retrospectively included in this study. These children were divided into BS and BSY groups according to different treatment methods. Based on conventional treatment, the BS group was given atomization treatment with budesonide and salbutamol, and the BSY group was given atomization treatment with budesonide, salbutamol, and acetylcysteine. After two courses of treatment, clinical efficacy, duration to improvements in symptoms and signs, adverse drug reactions, and changes in serum C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels after treatment relative to those before treatment were compared between the two groups. The optimal medication plan was investigated.Results:The total response rate in the BSY group was 91.67% (33 cases/36 cases), which was significantly higher than 72.22% (26/36) in the BS group ( χ2 = 4.59, P = 0.032). The incidence of adverse drug reactions in the BSY group was 11.11% (4/36), which was significantly lower than 19.44% (7/36) in the BS group ( χ2 = 0.96, P = 0.326). After treatment, the levels of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin in the BSY group were (5.86 ± 5.66) mg/L and (2.59 ± 0.74) μg/L, respectively, which were lower than (15.64 ± 5.85) mg/L and (4.71 ± 0.93) μg/L in the BS group ( t = 7.20, 10.70, both P < 0.001). The durations to the disappearance of symptoms and signs including fever, cough, lung rales, and X-ray lung shadow in the BSY group were significantly shorter compared with the BS group ( t = 11.85, 4.19, 2.72, 2.39, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Atomization with budesonide, salbutamol, and acetylcysteine in combination for the adjuvant treatment of bronchopneumonia in children can quickly relieve the clinical symptoms of children, improve the lung signs, reduce the degree of inflammation, and has a remarkable therapeutic effect on bronchopneumonia in children.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the efficacy differences between acupoint catgut embedding combined with ginger-partitioned moxibustion and regular acupuncture on chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) of spleen-kidneydeficiency syndrome, and to explore its effects on T lymphocyte subsets and activity of NK cell.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 60 patients with CFS of spleen-kidneydeficiency syndrome were randomly divided into a catgut embedding combined with ginger-partitioned moxibustion (CECGP) group and a regular acupuncture group, 30 cases in each one. The patients in the CECGP group were treated with acupoint catgut embedding combined with ginger-partitioned moxibustion; the acupoint catgut embedding was applied at Guanyuan (CV 4), Shenshu (BL 23), Pishu (BL 20), Zusanli (ST 36), Qihai (CV 6), once a week, while the ginger-partitioned moxibustion was applied at Guanyuan (CV 4), Qihai (CV 6) and Zusanli (ST 36), once every three days for consecutive one month. The patients in the regular acupuncture group were treated with regular acupuncture at Guanyuan (CV 4), Shenshu (BL 23), Pishu (BL 20), Zusanli (ST 36), Qihai (CV 6), once a day, 6 treatments per week (one day for rest) for consecutive one month. The clinical symptom scores, fatigue scale-14 (FS-14), fatigue assessment instrument (FAI), laboratory test results and total effective rate were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) After treatment, the clinical symptom scores, FS-14 and FAI were reduced in the two groups (all<0.05); after treatment, the clinical symptom scores, FS-14 and FAI in the CECGP group were significantly lower than those in the regular acupuncture group (all<0.05). (2) After treatment, the CD/CD, natural killer cell% (NK%), CD%, CD% were all increased in the two groups (all +4<0.05); the CD/CD, CD%, CD% in the CECGP group were significantly higher than those in the regular acupuncture group (all<0.05). (3) After treatment, the total effective rate was 96.7% (29/30) in the CECGP group, which was similar to 93.3% (28/30) in the regular acupuncture group (>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The acupoint catgut embedding combined with ginger-partitioned moxibustion, which could effectively relieve the symptoms, regulate T lymphocyte subsets and the activity of NK cell, is an effective method for CFS of spleen-kidneydeficiency syndrome.</p>
ABSTRACT
Objective The magnetic beads direct adsorption method was used to extract the cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from three kinds of human humoral biological samples, including urine, saliva and blood, as to provide a reference for forensic cfDNA research and forensic inspection. Methods The cfDNA was isolated from humoral samples by centrifuging, and the cfDNA was extracted with the method of magnetic beads direct adsorption. Then the samples were sequentially amplified with Identifiler-Plus amplication kit, and the STR genotyping was detected by ABI 3500 Analyzer. Results The cfDNA was detected from all the three kinds of samples. The detection rate of cfDNA from the blood samples was 100%, the saliva was 90%, and the urine was 70%. Conclusion The results suggest that human humoral biological samples contain cfDNA. What's more, the magnetic beads direct adsorption method can be used to extract cfDNA efficiently and conveniently.
ABSTRACT
The current paper, pivoting on an analytical survey of the teaching contents and curriculum system of post-education for rural medical personnel, pinpoints the problems existing therein, and explores the various approaches for reforming the teaching contents and curriculum system.
ABSTRACT
Teachers of pathology have long been concerned with highlighting professional characteristics and nursing features in addition to stressing clinical application in their teaching.Based on extensive investigation and comparative analysis,the authors of the current paper make a reform of pathology teaching in aspects of teaching contents and methods to better adapt pathology teaching to professional characteristics of nursing specialties,in a bid to lay a solid foundation for subsequent teaching of professional courses and clinical application.
