Expert Consensus on Clinical Diseases Responding Specifically to Traditional Chinese Medicine： Threatened Abortion / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Threatened abortion is a common disease of obstetrics and gynecology and one of the diseases responding specifically to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The China Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in TCM obstetrics and gynecology， Western medicine obstetrics and gynecology， and pharmacology to deeply discuss the advantages of TCM and integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment as well as the medication plans for threatened abortion. After discussion， the experts concluded that chromosome， endocrine， and immune abnormalities were the key factors for the occurrence of threatened abortion， and the Qi and blood disorders in thoroughfare and conception vessels were the core pathogenesis. In the treatment of threatened abortion， TCM has advantages in preventing miscarriages， alleviating clinical symptoms and TCM syndromes， relieving anxiety， regulating reproductive endocrine and immune abnormalities， personalized and diversified treatment， enhancing efficiency and reducing toxicity， and preventing the disease before occurrence. The difficulty in diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with traditional Chinese and Western medicine lies in identifying the predictors of abortion caused by maternal factors and the treatment of thrombophilia. Recurrent abortion is the breakthrough point of treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It is urgent to carry out high-quality evidence-based medicine research in the future to improve the modern diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with TCM.

Analysis of antibiotic use and rationality for children in primary healthcare institutions from Beijing / 中国药房

OBJE CTIVE To inv estigate the antibiotic use and rationality for children in community health service institutions from Beijing ，and to provide reference for promoting rational use of antibiotics in primary healthcare institutions. METHODS All the prescriptions for children from primary healthcare institutions in 2019 were extracted from prescription review system of community health service institutions in Beijing. The use of antibiotics was described according to the related indicators of the World Health Organization/International Network for Rational Use of Drug （WHO/INRUD）. The structure of antibiotics use was analyzed according to the anatomical therapeutic chemical （ATC）classification as well as the WHO AWaRe classification and diagnosis. RESULTS A total of 288 primary healthcare institutions and 10 422 prescriptions for children were included. The number of institutions in high-income areas ，middle-income areas and low-income areas were 119，80 and 89 respectively，and the number of prescriptions involved were 2 430，2 163 and 5 829 respectively，including 1 447 prescriptions involving antibiotics （13.9％）. Among 1 447 prescriptions，the rate of prescriptions involving combined use of antibiotics was 1.4％（20 pieces）；the rate of prescriptions involving antibiotics injection was 9.7％（141 pieces）；4.8％ antibiotics prescriptions were rated as unreasonable （69 pieces）. The three most commonly used antibiotics were the macrolides （40.2％），the second-generation cephalosporins （26.5％） and the third-generati on cephalosporins （23.4％）. The proportion of antibioti cs prescriptions from groups of access ，caution， reserve and not recommended were 9.1％，92.1％，0.3％，and 0， respectively. The rate of antibiotics prescriptions fortonsillitis was the highest （31.9％ ）. Among 69 irrationalantibiotics prescriptions ，main of them were irrational drug use （56 pieces，81.2％）. CONCLUSIONS The rate of antibiotics prescriptions for children in primary healthcare institutions from Beijing is lower than the standard of WHO antibiotics prescription rate （20.0％-26.8％），but the use rate of antibiotics at caution grade is too high.

The influence of denervation on myofiber morphology of the adductor and abductor in patients with recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the influence of denervation on myofiber morphology of the adductor and the abductor in patients with recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) paralysis and to provide experimental evidence for the clinical feasibility of RLN repair.@*METHOD@#Adductor muscles were acquired from the lateral cricoarytenoid muscle (LCAM) and abductor muscles from the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle(PCAM). Normal human PCAM and LCAM are treated as control group (n = 7). Thirty-eight cases of PCAM with damaged RLN were divided into five groups according to the duration of their RLN damage: 0.5-1 year (7 cases), > 1-2 years (10 cases), > 2-3 years (8 cases), > 3-6 years (8 cases) and > 6 years (5 cases); twenty-nine cases of LCAM were also divided into five groups: 0.5-1 year (7 cases), > 1-2 years (6 cases); > 2-3 years (6 cases), > 3-6 years (6 cases) and > 6 years group(4 cases). They were all stained with HE and Masson three-color staining, the fiber cross-sectional area of muscle tissue and collagen connective tissue were quantitative analyzed. The changes of myofiber morphology of adductor and abductor muscles after the loss of the RLN were analyzed with image analysis system.@*RESULT@#The transverse areas of myofibers gradually decreased and those of collagen fibers gradually increased with the prolongation of denervation. (1) Difference between the denervated groups of LCAM of 0.5-1 year, > 1-2 years and > 2-3 years groups were not significant (P > 0.05). Fiber cross-sectional area of > 3-6 years group decreased most obviously with significantly difference compared with > 2-3 years group (P 1-2 years group, > 2-3 years group and > 3-6 years of PCAM(P 3-6 years and > 6 years of two kinds of laryngeal intrinsic muscle (P > 0.05); (4) Fiber cross-sectional area of each group of the LCAM after 1 year denervation were significantly greater than that of the PCAM under same conditions (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The influence of denervation on myofiber morphology following denervation is different between the abductor and adductor owing to the different fiber type composition and functional properties. The rate of muscle atrophy of the adductor is slower than that of the abductor. To restore the structure and function of denervated laryngeal muscles better, the recurrent laryngeal nerve injury repair surgery for PCA muscle function recovery should be carried out within 1 year after denervation while the surgery for LCA muscle function recovery should be carried out within 3 years after denervation.

The expression of myosin heavy chain were detected with fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunofluorescence staining respectively.@*RESULT@#(1) MHC-II b was expressed in laryngeal muscles at mRNA levels, and not expressed at the protein level; (2) At both mRNA level and protein level, the expression of MHC-I was higher in the PCA muscles than in the LCA muscles while MHC-II level was higher in the LCA muscles than in the PCA muscles.@*CONCLUSION@#(1) MHC-II b protein was not expressed in human laryngeal muscles; (2) Phenotypic differences were significant in laryngeal adductor and abductor muscles based on their different functions. PCA contained larger percentage of MHC-I fibers, while LCA contained more MHC-II fibers.
