Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP) is one of the most common blood capillary allergic disorder in children, and its pathogenesis has not been well explained. The studies show that the main mechanism of HSP is the abnormality of humoral immunity, and the role of IgA is emphaszed. Meanwhile, many agents such as changes in T cell function,participation of cytokine and mediators of intlammation, suscepti-bility gene and other factors also play an important role in the incidence of HSP. The pathogenesis of HSP can be better understood through extensive analysis of the immunology factors,genetic factors,and so on.

This paper introduces the design and implementation of Bluetooth wireless management and monitoring system. Combined with hospital information system, this system replaces the current monitoring system in hospital, and thus the efficiency of hospital can be improved.

Objective To investigate MRI examination methods and imaging manifestations of primary ureteral carcinoma, and to evaluate its clinical values when comparing with other diagnostic imaging facilities. Methods Eighty-seven cases of primary ureteral carcinoma who were operated within recent 8 years came into the study, among which, 35 cases had MRI examinations. For MRI examination, coronal heavy T2WI (water imaging) was performed to show the dilated ureter, then axial T2WI and T1WI were scanned at the obstruction level. 11 cases underwent additional Gd-DTPA dynamic contrast enhanced scans. The original pre-operative diagnostic reports of various imaging facilities were analyzed comparing with the results of operation and pathology. Results MRI showed ureteral dilatation in 33 of 35 cases, no abnormal appearance in 1 case, and only primary kidney atrophy post renal transplantation in 1 case. Among the 33 cases with ureteral obstruction, soft mass at the obstruction level was detected on axial scans in 32 cases. The lesions showed gradual and homogeneous mild to moderate enhancement on contrast MRI. The overall employment rate of imaging facilities was as follows: ultrasound (94. 3% ) , IVU (59. 8% ) , CT (52. 9% ) , MRI (40. 2% ) , and RUP (35. 6% ). The accurate diagnostic rate was as follows: MRI (91. 4% ) , RUP (80. 6% ) , CT (63. 0% ) , ultrasound (47. 6% ) , and IVU (11. 5% ). Conclusion Combination of MR water imaging and conventional sequences can demonstrate most primary ureteral carcinoma lesions and has a highest diagnostic accuracy among the current diagnostic imaging facilities. It should be taken as the first diagnostic imaging method of choice when primary ureteral carcinoma is suspected after ultrasound screening.

Objective To study the expression changes of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), protein kinase C (PKC) and nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B ) on the injured rabbit vascular smooth muscular cells (VSMC) transfected with tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) vector. Methods Lipofectin method was used to transfect TIMP-2 vector into VSMC, Western blot analysis to detect TIMP-2 peptides and zymography assay to determine MMPs. The activities of MMPs and NF-?B were detected by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The mRNA and protein expressions of PKC? were determined by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry. Results The injured VSMC showed increased enzyme activity of MMP-2. There was very lower level expressions of PKC? and NF-?B in the normal VSMC but high in the injured VSMC. However, in injured VSMC transfected with TIMP-2 vector, the activity of MMP2/9 was suppressed and the expressions of PKC? and NF-?B decreased (P

Objective To design a model of the content structure of websites of large scale modern hospitals which is in keeping with Chinas realities. Methods The First Hospital affiliated to the Fourth Military Medical University was selected as a representative of large scale modern Chinese hospitals and on the spot investigations were carried out. Investigations were also made via the Internet on ten famous domestic websites of hospitals affiliated to medical universities and the first ten American hospital websites as chosen by the American News Website in 2000. The opinions of 20 experts were collected and analyzed by means of expert consultation. Results The basic features of the websites of large scale modern hospitals were summed up and a content structure of websites of large scale modern hospitals, both advanced and in keeping with Chinas realities, was designed. Conclusion There is some regularity to follow in the website contents of large scale modern hospitals and the website contents of hospitals in China are turning from the stage of information to the stage of interaction.

Every stage of tumor initiation and development closely relates to immune regulation as tumor cells tend to evade attacks from immune system by employing the programmed death 1 (PD-1)/ programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) interaction.Therefore,targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway has become an attractive approach for cancer immunotherapy.Radiotherapy has long been considered a local tumor treatment modality and it is immune-inhibitory.However,accumulated evidence has shown that radiotherapy might enhance immune function by eliminating the tumor mass and has become a systemic tumor treatment modality.These observations indicate a strong rationale that the radiotherapy and anti-PD1 and anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy may work synergistically to provide a powerful anti-tumor effect.This review discusses current progresses,challenges and perspectives of this novel combination treatment modality.
