2 抗生素及鼻腔局部类固醇(NS)的治疗急性上颌窦炎(AMS) 。 这个双盲安慰剂对照的随机试验中,240例成人非复发性急性鼻窦炎患者单独或联合应用阿莫西林(A)和布地奈德(B)。符合Berg-Carenfelt标准两项以下者,或过去一年内两次或两次以上的急性发作的鼻窦炎的患者被剔除。研究对象随机分为以下两种治疗措施之一: A +NS;安慰剂 A+ NS; A+安慰剂NS ;或安慰剂A+安慰剂的NS 。疗法为阿莫西林500毫克,每日3次,疗程7天;合用或不合用布地奈德200 μ g/鼻孔/天,疗程10天。受试者每天记录症状日记,填写问卷并返回药物以评价治疗依从性。和安慰剂相比,A或B单独或联合应用后,症状评分并没有改善。编者按:急性上颌窦炎的改善与是否使用阿莫西林或布地奈德无关。Williamson IG et al., JAMA, 2007; 298:2487-96.

译文 3 沙美特罗/丙酸氟替卡松(S/FP)或溴化异丙托品(T)预防慢性阻塞性肺病加重 这是一项为期两年的双盲-双模拟-多中心研究,在1323例严重和非常严重的慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者( FEV1 < 50 %预测值)中,比较吸入沙美特罗50 μ g加丙酸氟替卡松500 μg(SFC)每日两次和溴化异丙托品(T) 18 μg每日一次对预防慢性阻塞性肺疾病加重的作用 。把患者随机分为两个治疗组(SFC658例;T 665例 ),并测定患者治疗前后的FEV1。评价患者的症状日记、药物使用情况(短效β -受体激动剂和口服类固醇) ,医疗保健的使用情况(即急诊/门诊就诊记录),并填写呼吸问卷。两组COPD加重的次数无显著差异,但与T组相比,SFC组退出率较低,整体健康状况较好,死亡率较低。编辑评论:尽管主要研究终点(慢性阻塞性肺病加重)在两组间无差异,但与T相比,SFC治疗可降低哮喘的死亡率。Wedzicha JA et al., Am J Resp Crit Care Med, 2008; 177:19-26. 4. Augmented epithelial endothelin-1 (EDN1) expression in refractory asthma. Ten healthy controls, ten steroid-naďve patients with mild asthma, and 18 severe asthmatic patients on glucocorticosteroid treatment were recruited for this study. Bronchoscopy specimens were obtained and laser-capture microdissection used to obtain bronchial epithelial cell samples for quantitative real-time PCR analysis of 17 transcripts for a panel of growth factors, cytokines and chemokines. PCR data were verified by immunohistochemistry on bronchial biopsy specimens. The levels of IL-8, CXCL8 and EDN1 were elevated in patients with severe asthma. EDN1 is involved in airway remodeling, and the presence of large numbers of epithelial cells producing EDN1 may account for the increased airway smooth muscle mass and fibrosis seen in these patients. Editor's comment: Therapeutic intervention targeting the endothelin receptor may be effective in treating refractory asthma. Pégorier S et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol, 2007; 120:1301-1307.

4 难治性哮喘的上皮内皮素-1 (EDN1 )表达增加 10名健康对照, 10名未使用类固醇的轻度哮喘患者和正在进行糖皮质激素治疗的18个严重哮喘患者入组本研究。用支气管镜检活检取得样本,用激光捕获-显微解剖法得到支气管上皮细胞样本,立刻进行定量PCR,分析17种生长因子,细胞因子和趋化因子。对支气管活检标本进行免疫组化学分析,以验证PCR结果。在重症哮喘患者,白细胞介素-8、CXCL -8和EDN1水平较高。 EDN1参与气道重塑,这些患者气道中有大量的产生EDN1的上皮细胞,可能是气道平滑肌增生和纤维化的原因。编者按:针对内皮素受体的措施可能治疗难治性哮喘。Pégorier S et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol, 2007; 120:1301-1307. 5.

9 鼻部手术治疗阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者( OSA )的固定性鼻塞的一项随机临床试验 本研究观察了49例 OSA患者鼻中隔成形术对改善鼻腔呼吸的作用,这些患者因固定性鼻塞而张口呼吸。研究对象随机分为手术( 27例 )或假手术( 22例 )。两组间基线指标类似。术后两组平均呼吸暂停/低通气指数( AHI )相似,但手术组有4例治疗成功(鼻呼吸时程显著增加,AHI降低) ,而假手术组没有一例成功。编者按:只有4例患者在鼻腔手术后得到改善,而 23例没有。OSA患者需要鼻部手术以外的其他治疗。Koutsourelakis I et al., Eur Resp J, 2008; 31:110-117. 10. Flu myths: dispelling the myths associated with live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV). This timely review compares LAIV to conventional trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine and dispels the misperceptions associated with the former. Live virus shedding is one fear, but data demonstrate that viral titers from LAIV are well below the dose needed to cause infection. Also, there is no evidence that the attenuated virus can revert to the wild type and cause disease. Side effects from LAIV can include rhinorrhea and low-grade fever; serious adverse reactions have not been reported. Although LAIV is not recommended for asthmatics, one trial of children with moderate to severe asthma showed that LAIV was well-tolerated and effective. Editor's comment: Increase use of LAIV could reduce the worldwide incidence of this disease. Tosh PK et al., Mayo Clin Proc, 2008; 83:77-84.

10 禽流感:解读减毒活流感疫苗( LAIV ) 这一及时的综述对LAIV和传统的三价灭活流感疫苗进行了比较,并消除了对前者的误解。人们担心减毒活疫苗会导致活病毒脱落,但数据表明LAIV的病毒滴度远低于需要引起感染的剂量。此外,也没有证据表明减毒病毒可以还原到野生型并导致疾病。副作用LAIV可以包括流涕和低烧;严重不良反应尚未见报道。虽然LAIV不推荐用于哮喘患者,但一个中度至重度哮喘儿童的临床研究表明,LAIV有良好的耐受性和有效性。编者按:增加使用LAIV可减少世界范围内禽流感的发病率。Tosh PK et al., Mayo Clin Proc, 2008; 83:77-84. 11. Global strategy for asthma management and prevention: GINA executive summary. GINA, the Global Initiative for Asthma, is dedicated to providing accurate and useful information on asthma management. The current emphasis is on optimizing "asthma control"; the GINA recommendations are adapted for regional differences in treatment availability, resources and services. Editor's comment: This is a comprehensive document about asthma management and prevention with 409 references. Bateman ED et al., Eur Resp J, 2008; 31:143-78.

Morbidity and mortality for vaccine-preventable diseases in the U.S. 12 儿童鼻窦炎 鼻窦炎在儿童可能表现为咳嗽,鼻塞或其他上呼吸道感染症状。复发性鼻窦炎可以与GERD,解剖缺陷或免疫机能丧失相关。本综述全面描述了儿童鼻窦炎的临床症状,目前诊断、预防和治疗这种疾病的最佳方法。编者按:这是供儿科医生阅读的很好的综述。Virant FS, Ped Asthma Allergy & Immunol, 2007; 20:157-67. This review compared morbidity and mortality before and after wide spread implementation of national vaccine recommendation for 13 vaccine-preventable diseases for which recommendations were in place prior to 2005. A greater than 92% decline in cases and a 99% or greater decline in deaths due to diseases prevented by vaccines recommended before 1980 were shown for diphtheria, mumps, pertussis, and tetanus. Epidemic transmission of polio virus, measles, and rubella viruses was eliminated. Smallpox was eradicated worldwide. Declines were 80% or greater for cases and deaths of vaccine-preventable diseases targeted since 1980 including hepatitis A, acute hepatitis B, HiB, and varicella. Declines in cases and deaths of invasive S pneumoniae were 34% and 25%, respectively. Editor's comment: Vaccines work! Every physician should make sure their patients are up-to-date on all vaccinations. Roush, SW et al., JAMA, 2007;298:2155-63.

13 美国疫苗可预防疾病的发病率和死亡率 这项综述比较了2005年广泛实施国家疫苗计划之前和之后的13种疫苗可预防的疾病的发病率和死亡率。1980年以前,疫苗注射使得发病率下降92 %以上,死亡率下降99 %以上的疾病包括白喉,腮腺炎,百日咳和破伤风。脊髓灰质炎病毒,麻疹,风疹病毒的广泛流行被消灭。天花在全世界范围内被根除。自1980年以来,疫苗可预防的疾病发病率和死亡率下降80 %或以上的疾病包括A型肝炎,急性乙型肝炎,乙型流感嗜血杆菌,水痘。侵入性肺炎发病例数和死亡率下降率分别为34 %和25 %。编者按:疫苗确实有效!每一个医师应确保他们的患者接种所有疫苗。Roush, SW et al., JAMA, 2007;298:2155-63.
