Objective To evaluate the effect of clinical pathway management on pediatric capillary bronchitis. Methods Infants with capillary bronchitis admitted to our hospital were selected. Several indices were compared between the infants with and without clinical pathway management including hospital stay, costs of hospitalization, satisfaction in parents of children, cure rate, readmission rate one week after discharge, hospital infection and variation in the process of clinical pathway manage-ment. Results A total of 204 eligible infants were divided into research group (n=96) and control group (n=108). There were no signiifcant differences in sex, age, respiratory rate, heart rate and temperature, and detection rate of respiratory syncytial virus in nasopharyngeal secretion and sputum culture (P>0.05). Compared with the infants in control group, the total drug costs, the an-tibiotics costs and the average length of stay were signiifcantly decreased in infants with clinical pathway management (P<0.05). There were no signiifcant differences in such indices as satisfaction in parents of children, cure rate, readmission rate one week after discharge and hospital infection rate between two groups (P>0.05). In research group, 49 infants (51.04%) completed the clinical pathway management. Positive variance was found in 43 infants (44.79%) and negative variance in 4 infants (4.17%). Two infants (2.08%) dropped out. Conclusions For capillary bronchitis in infants, clinical pathway management has an effect on controlling and reducing the medical expenses, and meanwhile improving the medical quality and satisfaction of patients.

Objective Diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)was used to explore the characteristics of white matter (WM)microstruc-ture lesion in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy(TLE)and hippocampal sclerosis(HS).Then we investigated the influence of the age of epilepsy onset and the course on WM changes.Methods DTI data were obtained in 30 TLE patients with HS and 23 age and sex-matched healthy controls.Thirteen patients had left HS (LHS)and seventeen had right HS (RHS).Between-group compari-sons of fractional anisotropy (FA)were carried out by using track-based spatial statistics (TBSS).In addition,FA in regions of in-terest (ROI)where white matter lesions had statistically significant difference was correlated with the age of onset and the course. Results Subjects in the LHS group,as compared to healthy controls,demonstrated these clusters of reduced FA:bilateral corona radiata,the left genu of corpus callosum,the right body and splenium of corpus callosum,the right posterior thalamic radiation,ex-ternal capsule and superior longitudinal fasciculus.White the subjects in the RHS group,the clusters of reduced FA are involving bi-lateral corpus callosum,corona radiata,posterior thalamic radiation,cingulum,superior longitudinal fasciculus,and the right ante-rior limb of internal capsule,the right retrolenticular part of internal capsule and external capsule.In LHS group,the FA of the left genu of corpus callosum was negatively correlated with the course,and the FA of the right anterior corona radiata was positively cor-related with the age of onset.In RHS group,the FA of the bilateral superior corona radiata was positively correlated with the course.Conclusion DTI detects extensive changes in TLE with HS that are not confined to temporal lobe.The age of epilepsy onset in LHS was correlated with the changes of anterior corona radiata,while the course and the WM change were not definitely linked to each other.

The positive rate was 25％,60％ and 100％ respectively. TTAG also was useful in following-up. Conclusion:TTAG is an important method for diagnosis and following-up in patulous eustachian tube syndrome.

Objective:To detect the expression of IDO, iNOS, gp91 NADPH ox releated with IFN-? function following Chlamydia trachomatis lung infection in mice and to investigate the immunological defense mechanism of IFN-?. Methods:A murine model of pneumonia induced by intranasal inoculation of Chlamydia trachomatis,mouse pneumonitis (MoPn) biovar,was used for this study. Chlamydial growth in the lung was assessed by inoculating HeLa 229 cell monolayer with lung homogenates followed by HRP conjugate anti-Chlamydial LPS mAb.The mRNA expressions of IDO, iNOS, gp91 NADPH ox and IFN-? in the lung were determined by RT-PCR on day 7 and 14 postinfection.Results:Chlamydial growth in the lung was observed on day 2 postinfection, peaking at day 7 with subsequent decline in quantity. At day 21 following inoculation, the IFU declined to the baseline. Contrast with the uninfected group, Th1-like cytokine IFN-? underwent a significant increase at day 7 and a decrease on day 14 postinfection. mRNA expression for IDO, iNOS, gp91 NADPH ox was significantly increased in the lungs on day 7 and 14 postinfection, IDO and gp91 mRNA expression was significantly highler at day 7(P

Objective To study the effects of bone mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)transplantation on pulmonary tissue fibrosis in silicosis rats.Methods Forty-two healthy female SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:group A,B,C and D.The group A,B and C received intratracheal injection of silica crystals(SiO2)to establish silicosis mouse models,while the group D received the infusion of physiological saline.BMSCs were injected by the tail vein at 6 h after modeling or on 42 d in the group B and C.Six rats in each of group A,B,and D were sacrificed on 14 d,and other 6 rats in each group were sacrificed on 56 day.The morphological changes of the lung tissues were observed by HE staining;the content of hydroxyproline(Hyp)in the lung tissue homogenate was detected by ELISA.Results The lung tissue pathological changes in the group A were dominated by acute inflammatory response on 14 d after model construction,and fibrosis reaction on 56 d;the pathological changes in the group B and C were lighter than those in the group A;while no obvious abnormality was found in the group D.The Hyp level of pulmonary tissue in the group A,B and C was significantly increased compared with the group D(P=0.000);which on 14 d after BMSCs treatment in the group B and C was significantly decreased compared with the group A(P=0.000,P=0.035),and which on 56 d after treatment in the group B was still significantly decreased(P=0.016).Conclusion No matter in the pathological stages of pulmonary alveolitis and fibrosis,BMSCs transplantation may postpone the pathological process of pulmonary fibrosis in silicosis rats.

OBJECTIVEThe purposes of this study were to investigate effects of chloroqquine (CQ) on inhibiting the decomposition of hydrogen peroxides (HP), and to optimize composition of the tooth-bleaching agent.

METHODSAccording to the principle of the color-changing reaction between horse radish peroxidase and substrate, the tooth-bleaching agent made of HP was divided into four groups with different amounts of CQ. The stability of HP was observed using ELISA for 3 months.

RESULTSWith the prolongation of store time, the absorbance of HP solutions containing different concentrations of CQ declined at different degrees, which showed a dependent relation between absorbance values and concentrations of CQ. Within the range of experiment concentrations of CQ, the higher the concentration of CQ was, the stronger the stability of HP was. And the duration of tooth-bleaching effects in 150.0 mg/ml of CQ was prolonged 4 to 6 times compared to that without CQ.

CONCLUSIONThe data indicate that CQ can inhibit the decomposition of HP. The bleaching effect of the tooth-bleaching agent which is made of HP and proper amount of CQ is satisfactory.

Objective To investigate the regulation of IFN-γ to Th17 response in Chlamydia muridarum (Cm) lung infection in mice. Methods A murine model of pneumonia induced by intranasal inoculation of Cm was used for this study. Anti-mouse IFN-γ McAbs were used to neutralize endogenous IFN-γfollowing Cm lung infection. Control group received the same dose of isotype antibody (IgG2a). Mice were sacrificed at day 7 postinfection. Chlamydial growth in the lung was assessed by immunoenzyme technique.IL-17 and IL-23 mRNA expression in the lung was assayed by RT-PCR and the proliferation of IL-17 + CD4 +T cells in the spleen was assayed by intracellular cytokine staining. Results IFN-γ-neutralized mice exhibited serious disease course, include greater body weight loss, higher organism growth and much more severe pathological changes in the lung compared with control mice. The mRNA expression of IL-17 and IL-23 in the lung and the proliferation of IL-17 + CD4 + T cells in the spleen significantly decreased in the IL-17- neutralized mice. Conclusion IFN-γ was protective in Cm lung infection through up-regulating the antigen specific Th17 responses.
