Objective To explore the levels of T lymphocyte subsets in asthmatic children and discuss their relationship.Methods 30 children with acute asthma attacks were divided ito disease control(bronchopneumonias)group(25 cases)and healthy control group(14 cases).Flow cytomerty was used to analyze the T lymphocyte subsets in them.Results CD 4+ and CD 4+/CD 8+T cell of the patients of the maderate to serere degree were both significantly higher than those in normal control.Conclusion(1)CD 4+ T cell plays an important role in asthma chronic airway inflammation.(2)There were no significant difference in the level of CD4+ T cell,CD8+ T cell,CD4+/CD8+ T cell between the patients with asthma of mild degree and those of moderate or severe degree group,but CD 8+ T cell a little higer in the latler patlents,which still needs further research.

Objective To investigate the gene expression change of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β at different time points in brain tissues of rats with cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.Methods A total of 24 adult male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham group and 3 groups with brain ischemia reperfusion of 3h,6h and 12h.Real-Time PCR was used to analyze the gene expression ofTNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1 β at 3h,6h,and 12h after reperfusion.Results In the sham group,the mRNA expression levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1 β in were low,but increased immediately after brain ischemia injury and decreased gradually thereafter.The gene expression of TNF-α mRNA at 3h after reperfusion was significantly increased and reached the peak (P ＜0.01) then significantly decreased at 12h after reperfusion.The gene expression of IL-6 mRNA was notably increased at 3h after reperfusion and peaked at 6h (P＜0.01),and significantly decreased at 12h compared with 6h (P＜0.01).The gene expression of IL-1 β mRNA at 3h after reperfusion was significantly increased,peaked at 6h (P＜0.01) and significantly decreased at 12h (P ＜0.01).Conclusion The gene expression levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA increased significantly in the early stage of reperfusion and decreased gradually after reaching the peak,which suggested that the gene expression change of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β was involved in the mechanism of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.

Objective To evaluate the diffuse characteristics of two types of botulinum toxin type A (BOTOX and CBTX A) in the forehead and the effect of intradermal (ID) and subcutanous (SC) infections on their diffusion.Methods Healthy volunteers (n =20) were recruited to receive a 0.05 ml (2 U) injection of botulinum toxin type A at four forehead sites [both sides of medial forehead (SC) and temporal forehead (ID)],one side for BOTOX and another for CBTX-A.On day 14,the Minors' iodine starch test was performed and photographs were taken for calculating the area and dimensions of anhydrotic area.Results The areas of anhidrosis ID were significantly greater with CBTX-A (180±15) mm2 than that of BOTOX (144±14) mm2.The same conditions occurred in vertical dimensions (14.4±1.1) mm vs.(15.8±1.0) mm and horizontal dimensions (10.8±0.6) mm vs.(12.5±0.7) mm.There was significant variation between the both for diffuseness in the two anhidrotic halos observed after ID injection (P＜0.05).The areas of anhidrosis by SC were significantly greater with CBTX-A (207±17) mm2 than that in BOTOX (183±18) mm2.The mean horizontal dimension was greater with CBTX-A by SC (13.2±0.6) mm than that of BOTOX by SC (12.2±0.7) mm,but not statistically significant (P =0.06).The mean horizontal dimension in BOTOX was significantly greater with SC than that with ID (P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between SC and ID administration of CBTX-A.Conclusions BOTOX diffuses less than CBTX-A.ID injection technique may result in less diffusion than SC.

Purpose:To evaluate the results of combination chemotherapy with MxFL[mitoxantrone(MIT),Fluaroracil (5 FU),Leucovorin (CF)]in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.Methods:From 1993 through 1998,41 patients with metastatic breast cancer were enrolled in this study, Twenty six patients had no prior chemotherapy and 15 were had prior chemotherapy in nineteen patients estrogen receptor (ER) was positive. MIT 12 mg/m 2 by was given intravenous titrate the first day; continuous 5 FU 320 mg/m 2 by intravenous titrate the first day;continuous 5 FU 320 mg/m 2 by intravenous titrate was given for one hundred and twenty hours during the first day to the fifth day; at the same time, CF 50 mg/m 2 by intravenous titrate, once every twelve hours for five days. Repeated every three weeks. Results:Complete response was observed in 11 patients and partial response was observed in 19 patients with an overall response rate of 73.2%. The median response duration was 17 months and the median survival period was 23 months. The dose limiting toxicity was neutropenia which was seen in 85.4% of the treated cases (19.5% in grades Ⅲ and Ⅳ). Stomatitis was observed in 9.8% of the patients and local venous toxicity was observed in 12.2% of the patients. Conclusions:A high response rate is obtained in metastatic breast cancer treated by MxFL. Such treatment may be used as first line chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer.

Objective To analyze the relationship among HIF-1α, ERCC1 gene polymorphisms and the effects of platinum-based chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Methods HIF-1α C1772T and ERCC1 C118T loci were genotyped with PCR-RFLP method. The relationship between genotypes and the outcome of treatment as well as TTP was investigated. Results HIF-1α and ERCC1 of 102 patients were under the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Patients with HIF-1α CT+TT genotype showed a significantly higher chemotherapeutic efficiency compared with patients with CC genotype; Patients with ERCC1 CC genotype showed a significantly higher chemotherapeutic efficiency compared with patients with CT+TT genotype. The median TTP was 7.0 months for the 98 patients followed-up; 7.0 months for HIF-1α CT+TT genotype, and 6.0 months for CC genotype, and the difference showed no significance; The median TTP was 7.0 months for ERCC1 CC genotype, and 6.0 months for CT+TT genotype, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusions Patients with HIF-1α CT+TT genotype or ERCC1 CC genotype have showed higher chemotherapeutic efficiency, and patients with ERCC1 CC genotype show longer median TTP.

Objective Retrospectively discuss the effect of deep anesthesia on the post-operative complications with CPB. Methods All of the chosen patients including anesthesia group (30 cases) and deep anesthesia (30 cases) had the heart surgery under general anesthesia and CPB with the age of (56?6.4), the time of CPB (148?23.6) minutes, Medtronic membrane oxygenator, 4:1 cold blood cardioplegia, the flo of 2.0～2.4L?min -1 ?m -2 .The relative markers: operatively, the mean artery pressure (MAP), end tip oxygen saturation (SpO_2),the mean quantity of regitine (Regitine);postoperatively, the mean base-excess (BEpost), the mean quantity of 5% sodium bicarbonate per kilogram (NaHCO_3post),oxygen index, the level of blood glucose ,the duration of mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit stay , wound healing up, and the mortality. Results With deep anesthesia, the patients had more stable hemodynamic reserve operatively and significant improvements in the balance of acid-base, the lung function, the blood sugar , the wound recovery and the mortality. Conclusion The complication of postoperation with CPB is affected by the degree of anesthetic depth, and the proper depth of anesthesia can reduce the post-operative morbidity and mortality.

Objective The expression of IL-13 in plasma and renal tissue was studied to eluciate the molecular pathogenesis of Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN). Methods Plasma level of IL-13 in patients with MsPGN and in normal control groups were examined by ELISA. The expression of IL-13 in patients with MsPGN and in control group were examined by immune histochemistry ABC technique in renal tissue.Results Plasma levels of IL-13 in patients with MsPGN were significantly higher than that in control group,and the highest was found in IgAN;IL-13 expressions in glomerulus and tubulointerstitial zone in patients with MsPGN were higher than that in control group, and IL-13 expression in tubulointerstitial zone was more strong,but it was not distinctive difference between non-IgA MsPGN and IgAN. Conclusion IL-13 may play an important role in the molecular pathogenesis of MsPGN.

Objective To investigate the application opportunity and effect of B-Lynch suture in severe postpartum hemorrhage during cesarean section. Methods One hundred patients with high risk to postpartum hemorrhage were randomly divided into two groups. Group A was given with preventive treatment by B-Lynch suture after the placenta was born. Group B was given with traditional treatment, such as kneading the uterus, pressing, "8" suture, stuffing with gauze first. B-Lynch suture was used after the failure of traditional treatment or the amount of bleeding was over 400 ml.At the same time, another 50 patients without severe postpartum hemorrhage were selected as control (group C). Observed the difference of the amount of bleeding during different time, the operation time and comphcations among the three groups. Results The amount of bleeding during operation and 2 h after childbirth in group A [(266.00±29.90),(301.33±40.30) ml] were obviously less than those in group B[(512.67±202.12), (554.17±201.78)ml](P<0.01). The operation time in group A [(33.73±2.28)min] was shorter than that in group B [(49.33±10.40) min] (P<0.01). The incidence rate of severe postpartum hemorrhage in group A (6%, 3/50) was lower than that in group B (64%, 32/50) (P<0.01). Every parameter in group A was similar with group C. There were no serious complications during and after operation. Conclusions The preventive use of B-Lynch suture in patients with high risk to postpartum hemorrhage attains much better effects, and depresses the incidence rate of severe postpartum hemorrhage, and also improves the living quality. B-Lynch suture should be. used widely in patients with high risk to postpartum hemorrhage preventively.
