Objective:To study the clinical efficacy of loratadine combined with pidotimod in the treatment of children with repeat-ed respiratory tract infection and the effect of the combination on immune function. Methods:Totally 78 cases of patients with repeated respiratory tract infection were randomly divided into the observation group ( n=39 ) and the control group ( n =39 ) . Both of the groups were treated with the routine correct treatment, and the control group was treated with pidotimod and the observation group was treated with loratadine combined with pidotimod with the treatment course of 8 weeks. The clinical efficacy, clinical symptoms, signs improvements, changes of immune function markers level and incidence of adverse drug reactions between the two groups were observed and compared. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0. 05);the disappearance time of pulmonary rales and cough, fading time of tonsil swelling and fever clearing time of the observation group were significantly shorter than those of the control group(P<0. 05). After the treatment, the levels of IgG, IgM and IgA in both groups were significantly lower than those before the treatment (P <0.05); the levels of CD3 +, CD4 + and CD4 + /CD8 + in both groups were significantly higher than those before the treatment (P<0. 05);the levels of immune indices in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group(P<0. 05). Comparing with the incidence of adverse drug reactions in the control group, no significant difference was shown in the observation group (P>0. 05). Conclusion:The clinical efficacy of loratadine com-bined with pidotimod in the treatment of children with repeated respiratory tract infection is effective, which can improve the clinical symptom and signs and enhance the immune function of children significantly.

Objective To investigate the status of diabetes distress in patients with middle-andhigh risk of diabetic foot and explore the impact of self-perceived burden and social support on diabetes distress.Methods Totally 205 patients with middle-and-high risk of diabetic foot were investigated with Diabetes Distress Scale,Self-perceived Burden Scale and Social Support Scale.Results The total average score of diabetes distress was (2.59±0.57),the diabetes distress level was correlated with self-perceived burden,dimensions of social support (r=0.481～0.653) and were influenced by gender,vocation,objective support,use of support.Conclusions Diabetes distress is widespread in patients with middleand-high risk of diabetic foot and was influenced by many factors,these provide the basis for taking effective interventions to reduce diabetes distress.

Objective To explore the effect of Jin's three-needle therapy, as an assistant treatment, in improving the intelligence of children with mental retardation (MR).Method Seventy-six MR patients were divided into a control group and an observationgroup, 38 cases in each group.The control group was treated with rehabilitation, while the observation group with JIN's three needle therapy plus the rehabilitation training.Prof. JIN Rui's 10-item observation index was adopted to evaluate the memory ofthe patients before and after the treatment; Gesell Developmental Schedule (GDS) was used to measure the intelligence before and after the treatment. The clinical efficacies in the two groups were statistically analyzed.Result After the treatment, Prof.JIN Rui's 10-item index scores dropped obviously and the GDS scores increased significantly in both groups, while the decrease and increase of scores in the observation group were more significant than those in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 94.7% in the observation group, significantly higher than 71.1% in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion As an assistant treatment, JIN's three-needle therapy can help rehabilitation training to improve the intelligence of MR patients.

Objective This study investigated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)manifestations and pathological changes after aquaporin-4 (AQP4)gene silencing in treatment of early cerebral infarction.Methods Ninety adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into con-trol group,infarction group and treatment group.All the above groups were assigned to five sub-groups according to the time point:0.5,1,2,4 and 6 hours,respectively (n= 6 for each group).For the right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO-infarction group),the rats were separately injected with short hairpin RNA-AQP4 liposome (shRNA-AQP4+MCAO-control group)and in-terference agents (siRNA-AQP4 + MCAO-interference group).The rats in all groups were examined with T2 weighted image (T2 WI)and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).The rs-T2 WI,rs-DWI and relative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)of the big-gest high-signal-intensity layer on T2 WI and DWI were measured.Corresponding brain tissue was collected for pathological observa-tion.The data were analyzed using SPSS 13.0 software.Results Identical changes were detected between control and infarction groups.The high-signal intensity was found on DWI at 0.5 hour and on T2 WI at 2 hours after MCAO.rs-DWI and rs-T2 WI in-creased with time.The value of relative ADC decreased quickly within 2 hours after MCAO,and cytotoxic edema was significantly aggravated.The value of relative ADC increased slowly at 4 and 6 hours,but angioedema was detected during this period.There was significant change in relative ADC between the treatment and control groups at 0.5 to 4 hours (P < 0.01)and cytotoxic edema was significantly lightened.But there was no significant difference in relative ADC between treatment and control groups at 6 hours (P >0.05).However,angioedema was visible in this group at 6 hours.Above results confirmed that during early cerebral in-farction,the differential regions of DWI and T2 WI high-signal area were considered as cytotoxic edema,which was the pathologic basis of the decreased ADC values.AQP4 gene silencing could effectively reduce cytotoxic edema.Conclusion DWI and ADC value could reveal timely and exactly therapeutic outcomes of cytotoxic edema.The high-signal intensity on T2 WI represents angioedema, and AQP4 gene silencing has no obvious change.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between changes of the concentration of IL -12,IL-4,IFN-γwithin cervical local immune microenvironment and cervix infected with HPV 16,58,to understand the prevalence of physical status of HPV 16/58 DNA into the host genome in cervical lesions of different grades and to detect the relation between the integrated state of virus and the progress of cervical lesions.Methods: Detecting 89 cases of cervicovaginal lavage fluid and 140 cytological specimens of the cervix which from patients having had HPV-DNA genotyping assays and coming from the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from 2012.8 to 2013.5.89 cases of cervicovaginal lavage fluid were divided into 58 cases of HPV16 (+) and 31 cases of HPV58(+).Cytokines IL-12, IL-4, IFN-γin the cervical microenvironment were detected by ELISA assay.140 cases of cervical exfoliated cells were divided into 106 cases of HPV16(+) and 34 cases of HPV58(+).Using qRT-PCR to quantify the copy number of E2 and E6 genes and analyze the physical status of HPV 16/58 DNA according to E2/E6.Results:①The level of IL-4 in HPV16(+) was significantly higher than that in HPV58(+)(P<0.05).The levels of IL-12 and IFN-γwere lower than that in HPV58(+)(P<0.05).②Significant differences of DNA state were found between the groups of HPV 16(+) and HPV58(+)(P<0.05)and the rate of HPV16 DNA integration was significantly larger than that of HPV 58 DNA.Conclusion:The infection of HPV16 and HPV58 not only can lead to reduction of IL-12,IFN-γand increasing of IL-4 in cervical local immune microenvironment but also lead to viral integration in cervical cells,resulting in cervical lesions and cervical cancer through the internal and external changes in cervical cells .HPV16 is more likely to cause cervical cancer tissue than 58.
