Clinical Medicine of China 2008;24(6):582-584
Objective To explore the changes of the levels of IL-8,LTB4 and its function in invasion in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods The concentrations of IL-8 and LTB4 in serum and sputum were determined with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)in 30 cases of patients with COPD in acute aggravating stage and paracmasis and in 20 cases healthy adults.Blood routines were detected in all obstructs.Results The concentrations of IL-8 in serum and sputum in acute aggravating stage were(181.41±18.49)ng/L and(74.03±20.64)ng/L,significantly higher than those in paracmasis and the reference group(152.33±17.48)ng/L and(42.30±14.99)ng/L,P<0.05).The concentrations of IL-8 in serum and sputum in paracmasis were significantly higher than those in reference group[(52.75±13.79)pg/ml and(17.15±5.36)ng/L,P<0.05].The concentrations of LTB4 in sputum in acute aggravating stage were(2300.91±496.01)ng/L,significantly higher than those in paracmasis and the reference group[(1884.14±651.37)ng/L,P<0.05].LTB4 level in acute aggravating is not significantly different from those in paracmasis and the reference group[(1941.30±301.62)ng/L and(1880.77±302.11)ng/L,P>0.05).Conclusion Both IL-8 and LTB4 play important roles in the coupe of inflammatory reaction of air passage of COPD.

Objective To investigate the enhancement characteristics of the mass of liver and pancreas on Mn-DPDP enhanced MRI. Methods Mn-DPDP enhanced MRI were carried out in 25 cases, of which 15 cases had examined by Gd-DTPA-enhanced MRI. Conventional plain with SE T 1WI、FSE T 2WI were done in all patient. SE T 1WI and FSPGR T 1WI were performed during 40 minutes~4 hours after the administration of Mn-DPDP, with a dose of 0.5 ml/kg.Parts of the patients were repeat examined 24 hours after the administration of Mn-DPDP. Results Among 10 cases of hepatocelluler carcinoma, slightly heterogeneous enhancement were found in 8 cases.hemi-ring enhancement were found in 2 cases. 2 cases of liver cirrhosis had apparently nodular homogenous enhancement and their signal intensity were higher than normal liver tissue. No enhancement were found in 2 cases of hemangioma, 2 cases of liver metastases and 1 case of hepatic cyst. Also no enhancement were found in 8 cases of pancreatic carcinoma, but the tissue of pancreas around the tumor were enhanced remarkably. Conclusion The Mn- DPDP can show remarkably enhancement of normal liver and pancreas.The medicine's peak value keeps on time grows, can provide plentiful scanning time windows.

Objective To observe the efficacy of HAG regimen in remission inductive treatment for elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome-refractory anemia with excess blasts (MDS-RAEB). Methods The clinical features of 21 cases with AML and 9 cases with MDSRAEB (≥60 year old) treated with HA-G regimen in remission induction were retrospectively analyzed,including the complete remission (CR) rate, efficiency rate as well as their toxicities. Results In 21 elderly patients with AML treated with HAG regimen, the efficiency rate was 66.7 % (14/21), CR rate 47.6 % (10/21).In 9 elderly patients with MDS-RAEB, the CR rate was 55.6 % (5/9). The main toxicity of HA-G regimen was infections secondary to hematopoiesis suppression after chemotherapy. All patients were well tolerated to adjusted regimen. Conclusion The HA-G regimen is much effective in remission induction for elderly patients with AML and MDS-RAEB.

Objective To assess the value of real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (RTMCE) and intermittent triggered myocardial contrast echocardiography (ITMCE) in the detection of myocardial no-reflow phenomenon after reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction on mini-swine models. Methods Thirty close-chest mini-swines were used to create acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion model through interventional method. RTMCE and ITMCE were performed at baseline, 2 h after occlusion of left anterior descending coronary artery and 3 h after reperfusion. The myocardial perfusion defects after occlusion was measured as risk area (RA) and that after reperfusion was measured as no-reflow area (NRA). NRA/RA was calculated and compared with pathological findings. Results The whole study protocol was successfully performed in 27 mini-swines. NRA/RA obtained from RTMCE, ITMCE and pathological staining was (47.94±21.29)%, (38.20±21.04)% and (30.07±14.62)% , respectively. NRA/RA had no significant difference by ITMCE and pathological staining (P=0.124), RTMCE and ITMCE (P=0.071). The correlation coefficient of RTMCE and staining was 0.700 (P<0.001), ITMCE and staining was 0.765 (P<0.001), RTMCE and ITMCE was 0.897 (P<0.001). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in the detection of myocardial no-reflow was 100%, 58.33% and 79.17% for RTMCE, 91.67%, 73.33% and 81.48% for ITMCE. Conclusion Both RTMCE and ITMCE could be used as noninvasive methods to reveal the myocardial perfusion and quantitatively detect myocardial no-reflow after reperfusion therapy.

Objective To evaluate the echocardiographic features of coronary artery dilation (CAD) and coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) in Kawasaki disease dynamically.Methods Echocardiography was performed in KD cases for measurement of the diameter of the coronary artery.Results Twelve CAD and four CAA were identified in forty-one patients.In CAD group,left coronary artery (LCA) is more susceptive to dilation than right coronary artery (RCA)(P<0.05).Both LCA and RCA were involved in CAA group,the maximum diameter of coronary artery is 10mm.Six to eighteen days after treatment,LCA were regressed significantly in CAD group(P<0.05),but the diameter of RCA in CAD group and coronary artery in CAA patients have no change(P>0.05).Ten coronary artery lesion patients were followed up,8 CAD cases regressed completely,1 CAA extended,the other CAA regressed completely.Conclusions In CAD group,LCA is more susceptive to dilation than RCA,but it regressed significantly in a short time after treatment.Echocardiography is a non-traumatic method to detect the coronary artery lesions in KD patients dynamically.
