Objective To investigate relationship between infection rate of Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) in children with corresponding gender, age and season. Methods Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM (MP-IgM) antibody level in serum was measured utilizing method of passive particle agglutination. Results From 2007 to 2009, MP-IgM antibodies among total 1701 children with pneumoniae were detected in the study, of which 569 cases showed MP-IgM antibodies positive (569/1701,33.5%). The MP-IgM positive rate in male and female patients were 30.1% and 37. 8% respectively and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0. 01). The MP-IgM positive rates in 0 ~ 1year-old group,2 ~ 3 year-old group ,4 ~ 6 year-old group and 7 ~ 14 year-old group were 5.8% ,35.3% ,43.3% and 52.9%, respectively. The disparities of MP-IgM positive rate between the groups was statistically significant (P <0.01,P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). The differences of MP-IgM positive rates during the peroid of 2007,2008and 2009 were statistically significant(P < 0.01), but no difference was significantly exhibited during the peroid of 2008 verse 2009 (P > 0.05). As for onset distribution of season, in year 2007, MP infection rates between the individual seasons were not statistically different. Conclusion MP infection was mainly prevailed in those whose ages were over three years old. MP infection was inclined to occur in female children than in male and the prevalent season was the Spring.

Objective: To screen and identify serum amyloid A (SAA) in patients with prostate cancer with mass spectrum technique. Methods: SELDI technology was used to detect the changes in protein expression. SAA was screened and separated and then identified by peptide mass fingerprint (PMF) based on matrix-as-sisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and database searching. Results: The analysis showed that a mass cluster in the ranges of 11.1-11.9KD in M/Z value in the serum of prostate cancer patients was much higher than that in the control group. Meanwhile, this protein peak was closely correlated with clinical stages of prostate cancer. The level of the protein peak was increased as the illness got serious. Through MALDI technology combined with HPLC, the mass cluster in the range of 11.1-11.9KD in M/Z value on the chip was identified as SAA. And it was also verified through ELISA method. Conclusion: Mass spectrum technology is an effective method to detect the biological markers in prostate cancer patients. This method is convenient, highly sensitive and with good reproducibility. The SAA can be used as a marker in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. These indices are also meaningful in screening and identifying signal proteins from the serum of prostate cancer patients.

Objective To study the feasibility and long-term effects in 173 infants with congenital ventricular septal defect who underwent transcatheter therapy by double-disk ventricular septal defect occluder. Methods We analyzed the clinical data of 173 infants with ventricular septal defect who were performed interventional therapy followed by a follow up study from December 2002 to October 2013. Results The procedure was performed in 173 infants (male = 81 cases and female = 92 cases) aged 11 month-3 years[(2.1±0.7)years]. The weight were 6-15 kg[(10.2±3.6)kg]. The diameter of the defects ranged from 2.5-9.0 mm[(5.1±1.7) mm]. The characteristics of septal were classiifed into four types:the simply perimembranous ventricular septal defects (88 patient,50.8%), the perimembranous ventricular septal defects with pseudoaneurysm (52 patients, 30.0%), the perimembranous ventricular septal defects complicated with aortic valve prolapse (13 patients, 7.5%), and the intracristal ventricular septal defect (20 patients, 11.7%). The diameter of the occluders were between 4-12 mm[(6.3±2.2)mm]. The period of follow-up ranged from 1 month-10 years[(6.2±1.3)years]. The 168 defects were completely occluded in 173 patients(97.1%closure rate) except 5 infants, which 3 patients because the occluder hinder the function of aortic valves and the other occurred complete atrioventricular block(CAVB) when the catheter through defect. One patient occurred CAVB on the third day after the procedure, was reversed by dexamethasone after 4 days. 3 patients with complete left bundle branch block(CLBBB) after the procedure and one went to sustained, but did not observed heart failure in this case during 5 years follow-up. One patient observed sustained CLBBB on the fourth year after the procedure, also did not observed heart failure in this case during 3 years follow-up. 8 patients with trivial residual shun and 4 patients with newly appearance of trivial aortic regurgitation after the procedure, the shun all disappear at one year and the regurgitation did not progress during longest follow-up period at 8.5 years. No other complications, including late-onset CAVB, hematolysis, the occluder displacement and detachment, occurred during 1 month-10 years of follow-up. Conclusions Transcatheter closure of congenital ventricular septal defects is an efifcient method that can be safely used in the majority of infants with ventricular septal defects and have signiifcant long-term effects.
