0.05). 6 cases of Hirschsprung′s disease showed microcolon with the appearances of shortage of colon frame, barium reflux into distal ileum and barium retention. Conclusion Local notch of the distal rectum, spiral or irregular bizarre saw-toothed contractions of the rectum and distal sigmoid colon, and delayed evacuation of barium are 3 valuable radiographic signs. Colitis itself isn′t a valuable diagnostic radiographic sign of Hirschsprung′s disease. It only shows inflammation of colon. And microcolon with the appearances of shortage of colon frame, barium reflux into distal ileum, and barium retention may suggest the diagnosis of total aganglionic colon.

[Objective]To discuss the difference of mechanical stability in using different fixation methods in treating radius and ulna fracture,in order to provide a theoretical basis for clinical applications.[Method]In the experiment,15 pieces of fresh radius and ulna were used to produce middle-part transverse fracture models(A3.2)which were fixed by three different methods(double plate fixation group,double-intramedullary nail fixation group,ulnar intramedullary nailing + radial plate group).Through biomechanical tests,axial stiffness,bending stiffness,torsional stiffness and the equivalent stiffness were compared.[Result]There were no difference between double-plate group and ulnar intramedullary nailing + radial plate group,the stability in these two groups were higher than that in double-intramedullary nail fixation group.[Conclusion]Ulnar intramedullary nailing + radial plate has a good biomechanical property,it can provide firm fixation and with less trauma.So it is a good fixation.

Objective To investigate the relationships of pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) with serum protein S100B, cytokines and plasma procalcitonin (PCT) in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods A prospective controlled study was conducted, 160 subjects admitted in the Critical Care Medicine and Respiratory Disease Departments in the Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University/Changzhi Municipal People's Hospital from January 2012 to August 2013 were enrolled in the study, including 80 patients with AECOPD (AECOPD group) and 80 COPD under stable condition (SCOPD group). Meanwhile 100 healthy people having passed physical examinations were chosen as healthy control group. The levels of blood routine and plasma PCT were examined, PAP was evaluated by modified Simpson, sequation with echocardiography, serum S100B was measured by radioimmunoassay, and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure interleukins (IL-18, IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α). The linear correlation analysis was carried out for the various indicators. Results The gender and age in different groups were matched. Compared with the healthy control group, the levels of white blood cell count (WBC), ratio of neutrophil granulocyte (PMN), PAP, PCT and S100B, IL-18, IL-1β, and TNF-αwere significantly higher in SCOPD and AECOPD groups [WBC (×109/L):0.84±0.22, 1.94±0.64 vs. 0.73±0.12, PMN: 0.70±0.09, 0.85±0.08 vs. 0.54±0.05, PAP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 39±5, 47±8 vs. 24±5, PCT (μg/L): 0.41±0.08, 6.35±2.14 vs. 0.11±0.01, S100B (μg/L): 0.081±0.017, 0.101±0.028 vs. 0.041±0.011, IL-18 (ng/L): 162±19, 181±27 vs. 112±19, IL-1β(ng/L): 55±12, 75±14 vs. 34±10, TNF-α(ng/L):67±17, 89±18 vs. 35±17, all P<0.05], and the increase in level of indexes was more significant in AECOPD group than that in the SCOPD group (all P < 0.01). Serum S100B was significantly positively correlated with PCT, IL-18, PMN and PAP (r value was 0.36, 0.41, 0.39, 0.35, all P<0.05), and plasma PCT was also significantly positively correlated with PMN and PAP (r value was 0.41, 0.37, both P<0.05). Conclusion The level of serum S100B might have positive obvious correlation to the changes of plasma PCT, cytokines and PAP.

Objective To evaluate the value of mean platelet volume (MPV) in identifying the location of infarct at left circumflex artery (LCX) in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).Methods In this retrospective study,184 consecutive patients with NSTEMI were eligible to be enrolled from January 1,2009 to June 30,2011 and laboratory examinations including platelet count,B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP),troponins test (TnI),C-reactive protein and serum creatinine (SCr) were done.The demographics and detailed history of patients were documented.In addition,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) test and coronary angiography to determine the culprit vessel implicating in infarction were carried out in all enrolled patients.The patients were categorized into LCX group and N-LCX group according to culprit vessel.Results Of 184 patients,68 patients were in LCX group and 116 patients had left anterior descending artery (LAD) lesion or right coronary artery (RCA) lesion.High percent of LCX infarction were found in patients with high MPV level and low BNP level,and in smokers.And lower proportion of those patients had previous percutaneous coronary artery intervention.The results showed that MPV was larger in patients with LCX infarction than that in patients with LAD or RCA.Receiver operating characteristic curve showed the area under curve was 0.75 (95％ CI:0.675-0.826).An optimized cut off point at 9.15 fL of MPV showed 83.8％ sensitivity and 63.8％ specificity for prediction of LCX infarction.Multivariate analysis also showed that MPV was the only independent predictor of a LCX infarction in patients with NSTEMI [OR=1.32,(95％ CI:1.031-1.688),P＜0.05].Conclusions MPV was the only independent factor associated with LCX infarction in patients with NSTEMI.

Commonly, the interbacterial transfer of circular plasmids is initiated by nicking at an internal sequence, oriT, followed by transferring one strand as single-stranded DNA through a type Ⅳ secretion channel on cell membrane. In contrast, Streptomyces conjugative linear plasmids, containing a free 3'-end but a protein-capped 5'-end, can potentially undergo cell-to-cell transfer by transfer of non-nicked DNA. It was reported that circular derivatives of the Streptomyces lividans linear plasmid SLP2, as well as the parental linear plasmid itself can transfer efficiently. And the genetic requirements for such transfer was described. Efficient transfer of plasmid requires six co-transcribed SLP2 genes, encoding a Tra-like DNA translocase, cell wall hydrolase, two cell membrane proteins that interact with an ATP binding protein, and a protein of unknown function. Reduced transfer efficiency of plasmid from SalⅠ R-/M-to Sal Ⅰ R/M hosts argues that transfer of both the circular and linear forms of the plasmid involves double-stranded DNA. These results suggest that conjugal transfer occurs by a similar mechanism for SLP2-derived linear and circular plasmids, and cellular membrane/wall functions in the transfer process.

Thirty seven patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were divided into cilazapril group (n=19) and general treatment group (n=18). Serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) ,interleukin-8 (IL-8) , interleukin-10(IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) , left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), cardiac output (CO) and fractional shortening (FS) were measured before and after treatment. Serum levels of cytokines were also measured in 40 healthy individuals (control group). Results: The serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-α in CHF patients were significantly higher than those in the control group ( all P<0.01 ) ; After treatment, the serum IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α were significantly decreased (P<0.01 ,P<0.05 ) in the cilazapril group. The LVEF, FS, CO were significantly increased in the Cilazapril group ( P<0.01 ) ; And the serum levels of IL-6 were significantly decreased in the cilazapril group as compared with the general treatment group ( P<0.05 ), however, after treatment, the EF, LVEF, FS and CO had no statistical differences in the cilazapril group as compared with the general treatment group. In the control group only LVEF and FS improved(P<0.01) ; Cytokine levels showed no changes. It suggests that cilazapril can reduce the serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, increased the serum levels of anti-inflammatory cytokine, protect and improved cardiac function in the patients with congestive heart failure.

AIM To study immunomodulation and antitumor activity of paeonol. METHODS Paeonol was administered singlely to HepA bearing mice. 14 d later, the inhibition of tumor weight were observed.
