Objective To explore the smoking cessation intervention impact on lung with genetic polymorphism of SOD3. The aim is to further reveal the importance of smoking cessation intervention on early COPD patients. Meth-ods 60 COPD patients with smoking cessation intervention and 40 COPD patients without intervention ( the control group) were enrolled in this study. Limosis peripheral blood was taken and whole blood corpuscle genomic DNA was extracted. The genetic polymorphism of SOD3 genes was determined by ligase detection reaction and polymerase chain reaction ( LDR-PCR) and serum SOD3 concentration was measured using ELISA. Lung function between the two groups before and after intervention were detected by microspirometry. Results ①The FEV1% and the FEV1/FVC% were increased after 3 and 6 months intervention in smoking cessation group(P<0.05). But there was no significant difference ( P <0.05 ) between 3 and 6 months. ② Different SOD3 genotypes have no significant on COPD pulmonary function after intervention(P>0.05). ③The serum of SOD3 concentration of COPD intervention group and the control have no significance after intervention ( P>0.05 ) . ④ The serum of SOD3 concentration a-bout CC and CG/GG genotype in COPD intervention group have no significance after 3 and 6 months intervention ( P>0.05 ) . Conclusion Smoking cessation interventions for patients with COPD pulmonary function improves significance in short-term. But different SOD3 genotypes have no effect on lung function after intervention. Smoking cessation intervention has no effect on in serum SOD3 concentration of COPD patients, and has no relationship be-tween the expression of SOD3 genetype.

Objective To study the effects of Leptin on the expression of CD86 and HLA-DR in human monocytes.Methods The expression of CD86 and HLA-DR in THP-1 Cells and human primary monocytes were detected by flow cytometry.Results Expression of CD86 and HLA-DR in THP-1 cells was significantly increased after treatment with high-dose Leptin ( CD86Untreated group:8.78 ± 1.66,CD86leptin10:50.76 ± 4.29,CD86leptin100:95.20 ± 4.90; HLAUntreated group:20.75 ± 2.12,HLAleptin10:102.14 ± 5.75,HLAleptin100:104.32 ± 4.75;).The similar results were observed in human primary monocytes ( CD86Untreated group:17.91 ± 1.78,CD86leptin100:48.80 ± 3.60; HLAUntreated group:34.10 ± 2.76,HLAleptin100:88.86 ± 3.53).Conclusions By up-regulating CD86 and HLA-DR expression,Leptin might enhance the ability to present antigen in THP - 1 cells and human monocytes.

Objective To evaluate the effects of exposure to MALs on immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in human alveolar macrophages .Methods Plate counting were used to evaluate the effect of resisting Mycobacterium tuberculosis in human alveolar macrophages .Culture supernatants were harvested and human TNF‐α was measured by ELISA kit .Total nitrite levels in the media were measured using the Griess reagent .Results MALs stimulation attenuated the control of intracellular mycobacterial growth in human alveolar macrophages .The production of proinflammatory cytokines TNF‐α and Nitric oxide in human alveolar macrophages induced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis purified protein derivatives tuberculin (Mt‐PPD) and human interferonγwere attenuated by pretreatment in vitro with MALs .Conclusion MALs attenuated the responses of human alveolar macrophages a‐gainst Mycobacterium tuberculosis ,which may provide the new evidence to explain the phenomena in which some component of Mycobacteria in environment impacts the immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection .

Objective:To investigate the role of clinical pharmacists in the anti-infective treatment of one patient with complexity urinary tract infection with septic shock induced by cellulitis. Methods:Clinical pharmacists participated in one case of complexity uri-nary tract infection with septic shock induced by cellulitis, and according to the clinical curative effect and the patient' s condition change, clinical pharmacists adjusted the medication nine times and provided individualized pharmaceutical care and service in the whole process. Results:Physician accepted the suggestions of clinical pharmacists, the infection was controlled after the 38-day treat-ment, and then the patient was discharged from the hospital. Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists should participate in the clinical treat-ment, provide whole process of pharmaceutical care for severe patients and assist physician in drug treatment decisions to promote safe, effective and economical drug use.

Objective To describe varied features of pulmonary metastases of lung cancer on CT imaging .Methods 194 patients with pulmonary metastases of lung cancer were evaluated on CT scan , including 106 men and 88 women . The median age of the patients was 45 years ( range from 22 to 78 years ) . The histology of the lung cancer included 56 squamous carcinomas(28.9%),107 adenocarcinomas(55.2%),26 small cell carcinomas(13.4%),and 5 adenosquamous carcinomas(2.1%).Results The usual pattern of pulmonary metastases of lung cancer were parenchyma nodules. The unusual form of metastases that were mainly found in adenocarcinomas were cavitary lesions, ground-glass nodules and lesions with unusual signals including lobulated structure, spiculated margin,pleural indentation and air-bronchogram. The manifestations of lymphangial spread to intrapulmonary were extensive uneven thickening of the interlobular septa and fissures, nodular thickening of brochovascular bundles and many fine nodulars distributed along the brochovascular bundles and interlobular septa.Conclusion The manifestations of intrapulmonary metastases of lung cancer are varied morphologic features.

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the constrast-enhanced CT features and pathologic findings of mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis in adults. Methods 39 patients with 180 lymph nodes diagnosed as mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis by operation, mediastinoscopy and biopsy were evaluated on enhanced CT scan, including 20 men and 19 women. The median age of the patients was 26 years(range from 16-67 years). Results Five post-contrast patterns of enhancement were found: (1) inhomogeneous enhancement(28.3%,51 nodes); (2) peripheral rim enhancement(26.1%, 47 nodes); (3) homogeneous enhancement(25.0%, 45 nodes); (4)nonenhancement( 14.4%, 26 nodes); (5) separate enhancement(6.11%, 11 nodes); CT-pathologic correlation demonstrated that patterns of enhancement of mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis were correlated with distribution of granulation tissue and caseous areas. 28 patients(71.8%) had a combination of enhancement patterns. 11 patients(28.2%) had a single enhancement pattern. Conclusion Constrast-enhanced CT appearance of mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis for diameter of 1.0-2.0 cm was homogeneous enhancement, nonenhancement, inhomogeneous enhancement and peripheral rim enhancement; for diameter of ≥2.0 cm was inhomogeneous enhancement, peripheral rim enhancement, homogeneous enhancement and nonenhancement. Peripheral rim enhancement or separate enhancement can suggest a diagnosis of tuberculosis.

The clinical or experimental study proves that Chinese medicine such as Tripteryglum wilfordii, Lignum Sappan, Caulis Sinomenii, Radix Trichosanthis and Herba Artemisiae Annuae have good immunosuppressive activity. Further researches on the immunosuppressive active components from Chinese medicine have been the main direction in recent years. The recent researches on immunosuppressive effect and possible mechanisms for the monomers such as triperine, triptolide, bazilein, potosappanin A, sinomenine, trichosanthin and artemisinin extracted from those Chinese medicine are introduced in this review.
