Objective To analysis curative effect of triple therapy and sequential therapy for eradication of Helicobacter pylori in patients with long-term aspirin use.Methods 52 patients with long-term aspirin use who were diagnosed with helicobacter pylori infection were collected.All patients were divided into sequential group and triple group according to different drugs classified, each 26 cases in each group were given corresponding drug treatment, after the end of treatment, the serum pepsinogen, Hp-IgG antibody levels and Helicobacter pylori clearance rate were detected in all patients. Results After treatment, compared with the triple Group, in the sequential group, the levels of serum PG I and PG II were lower, and PGⅠ/PGⅡwas higher, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05);the serum Hp-IgG antibody levels were lower in the sequential group (P<0.05);the Hp clearance rate of patients in the sequential group was higher (P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with triple therapy, sequential therapy can lower serum PG, PG II and Hp-IgG levels, and improve the Hp clearance rate and clinical efficacy, have guiding significance to clinical.

To compare the effects of polysaccharide nucleic acid fraction of bacillus calmette guerin (BCG-PSN) and thymopeptides on T-lymphocytes of normal and immunosuppressed mice, CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocyte subsets of single nucleic cell in thymus, spleen and peripheral blood were detected successively by flow cytometry after application of BCG-PSN and thymopeptides. Meanwhile, CD4+/CD8+ ratio was also calculated. The results showed that both BCG-PSN and thymopeptides could decrease the proportion of CD4+ CD8+ T-lymphocyte subsets in the thymus, at the same time increase CD4+ T-lymphocyte, CD8+ T-lymphocyte proportion in the three tissues. The fluctuation in amplitude was greater in thymopeptides group than that in BCG-PSN group. It is concluded that acting location of thymopeptides is in thymus, its stimulating action is stronger than that of BCG-PSN, while BCG-PSN not only accelerates the differentiation in thymus, but also has some direct stimulation to peripheral CD4+ T-lymphocytes, and can maintain CD4+/CD8+ ratio within normal range. So, BCG-PSN is safer.

BACKGROUND:Retinal diseases are caused by damage or apoptosis of the retinal cel s and lack of ideal treatment. Induced pluripotent stem cel s have self-renewal ability and differentiation potential. A new potential source from which to produce stem cel s as a therapeutic platform for the treatment of retinal diseases and avoid ethics issues is the research focus currently.
OBJECTIVE:To review recent advancement of induced pluripotent stem cel s and the potential utility for retinal diseases.
METHODS:The first author searched related articles published from 2006 to 2011 by computer retrieval in PubMed database using the keywords of“induced pluripotent stem cel s, retinal, photoreceptor, retinal pigment epithelium, retinal ganglion cel”in English. Final y, total y 42 papers were involved.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Induced pluripotent stem cel s can be induced to differentiate into retinal cel s which have a possibility to be used as donor cel s for transplantation therapies. Patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cel s can be used as disease models for mechanistic studies and drug screening. It is a promising therapy for retinal degenerative diseases. However, some problems stil remain, such as risk of teratoma formation and low efficiency of somatic cel s to be successful y induced into induced pluripotent stem cel s. It stil requires further more studies.

Objective To study preliminary the accuracy of clinical target volume (CTV) and internal target volume (ITV) automatically generated by an in-house deformable registration software on fourdimensional CT (4DCT),and evaluate its feasibility of clinical application.Methods Clinic treated one lung cancer patient and one liver cancer patient were selected for the study.CTV was delineated by radiation oncologist according to a single respiratory phase image of 4DCT scanning,and then deformed to the other phases and generated the CTVdefm on each phase image.Differences between the CTVdefm and CTVmanu were then compared.A composite ITVcopm was created by overlapping all the CTVdefm of 10 phases and compared with the ITVMIP which was contoured on the maximum intensity projection (MIP) CT images,including the shape,volume and geometric center position of the ITV contour.Results For the tested lung case,average volume difference between the CTVdefm and CTV was (-2.59 ± 5.02)% for the all 10 phases,and the vector departure of the two ITV centers was (1.04 ± 0.89) mm.The ITVcomp almost completely matched the ITVMIP on the tested liver case with a volume difference smaller the 1% and only 1.4 mm vector departure between their geometric centers.Conclusion The validity of the CTVdefm and ITVcomp gained from automatic deformation of manual delineation reference based on 4DCT images were preliminary evaluated and proved to be good enough for clinic planning.

Objective To explore the effects of case method teaching in the medical postgraduate student of dermatology English teaching. Methods The experiment group was taught by case method teaching, and the control group was taught by traditional teaching model. The quantitative research and questionnaire investigation were used to evaluate the teaching methods. Results (1) There were significant differences in professional English test scores of Dermatology between the two groups;(2) The questionnaire investigation revealed that the case method teaching have achieved a higher evaluation from students in stimulating their enthusiasm of learning English,cultivating their ability of using language and improving capability of resolving clinical problem. Conclusion Case method teaching could help students cultivate the abilities to interpersonal communication and cooperation, raise the sense of innovation and innovation capacity,strengthen the relation between skills and theoretical knowledge, and improve the ability of self-management, learn cooperation and information literacy. But we should improve the case-based teaching and evaluation methods,in order to improve the teaching method of case teaching quality.

Objective To explore the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of neonatal necrotizing pneumonia. Methods The clinical data of two cases of neonatal necrotizing pneumonia were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of neonatal necrotizing pneumonia in literatures were summarized. Results Two cases were diagnosed of community-acquired Staphylococcus aureus necrotizing pneumonia and had the onset with fever. The chest X-ray showed exudative change with cystic shadow. The chest CT showed multiple cavity changes. The sputum and blood cultures were positive for Staphylococcus aureus. Both of them were effectively treated by vancomycin. The imaging was improved during the follow-up. Searching the database, 4 related literatures were being found, and there were totally 7 cases of neonatal necrotizing pneumonia including current 2 cases. The main features were as follows: The pathogenic bacteria in all cases include Staphylococcus aureus. One case was combined with pseudomonas aeruginosa. Six cases were community-acquired infections. All of them were non-immune deficiency newborn. Six cases were primary necrotizing pneumonia. Six cases were unilateral lung involvement. Five cases got fever, 5 cases had septicemia, 3 cases had pleural effusion, 2 cases had aerothorax, one case had bronchial chest and 2 cases had extrapulmonary infection. The C-reactive protein was increased in all cases. Three cases need mechanical ventilation. Six cases had a good prognosis. Conclusions The main pathogenic bacterium in neonatal necrotizing pneumonia was Staphylococcus aureus. The diagnosis was mainly depends on the typical imaging and pathogenic examination. The treatment is mainly the use of antibiotic for gram positive cocci.

Objective To investigate the association of imbalance of Tc1 and Tc2 cells with chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD). Methods Immunohistochemistry (S-P method) was used to test the subgroups of infiltrating cells and the expression of receptors of interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interferon-? (IFN-?) in these cells of the eruptions from 28 patients with CAD and 7 normal controls. The serum levels of IL-4, IL-10, IL-12 and IFN-? from 33 patients with CAD and 32 normal controls were tested by ELISA. Results The major infiltrating cells in the eruptions of patients with CAD were T cells, which were significantly more than B cells (P
