Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS)is a serious potentially life -threatening complication seen primarily in patients with systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA).Clinical symptoms include persis-tent fever,liver and spleen lymph node enlargement,cytopenia,hyperferritinemia,hypofibrinogenemia,hypertriglyceri-demia,coagulation disorders,and hemophagocytosis can be seen in the bone marrow.This article summarizes the characteristics of MAS occurring in the context of sJIA and discuss the recent advances in classification systems and management.

Objective To construcr a phage display library of human single-chain Fv antibodies from peripheral blood lymphocytes of people with positive serum antibody against hepatitis B virus core protein. Methods The heavy chain and light chain variable region gene of human immunoglobulin were amplified individually by RT-PCR from peripheral blood Lymphocytes mRNA of patients with positive serum hepatitis B virus core protein antibody and randomly combined through a DNA linker encoding the peptide (Gly 4Ser) 3 to construct single-chain variable fragments (ScFv)gene. In the presence of helper phage M13KO7, the ScFv were displayed on the surface of recombinant phages. Results Repertoire antibody library was obtained with 10 6 clonies resistant to ampicillin and kanamycin. Conclusions A typical phage display library of human single-chain Fv antibodies has been constructed Using RT-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and phage display technique, human single-chain Fv antibodies can be screened from this library.

Objective To evaluate the reasons for intrathecal administration of vincristine,the characteristics of patients with nerve damage,and the effective rescue measures and outcome prognosis.Methods Electronic literature databases,English and Chinese Paper Documents databases,and Network Engine were searched for Case Reports of inadvertent intrathecal injection of vincristine.SPSS 15.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results Analysis of 32 cases report showed that the intrathecal injection of vincristine in patients had adverse outcome.Of these cases 25 led to death,and survival of cases was associated with lower limb paralysis or quadriplegia.Fatalities appeared due to a progressively ascending myeloencephalopathy.Early recognition and immediate treatment with CSF drainage appeared to be the only intervention that had improved patients' survival.The survival curves of different surgical treatments,whether or not to use folic acid treatment,whether or not to use glutamate treatment,whether or not to use pyridoxinetreatment,was a significant difference.Conclusions Timely ventriculo-lumbar washout,using folic acid treatment and glutamate treatment appear critical.It is difficult to obtain satisfactory clinical outcome,so the key lies in the implementation of effective preventive measures.

BACKGROUND:Hip segmentation based on CT image has been widely used in computer-assisted surgery planning, prosthesis design and finite element analysis. OBJECTIVE:To explore application effects of automatic segmentation method for hip joint based on Bayesian Decision Theory in computer-assisted hip surgery. METHODS:An accurate outer surface segmentation and extraction remain chal enging due to deformed shapes and extremely narrow inter-bone regions. In this paper, we present an automatic, fast and accurate approach for segmentation of femoral head and proximal acetabulum. The outline of the femur was segmented and extracted by contrast enhancement, thresholding algorithm and region growth algorithm. The boundaries of the bone regions are further refined based on Bayes decision rule. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Automatic segmentation method for hip joint based on Bayesian Decision Theory is an accurate segmentation technique for femoral head and proximal acetabulum and it can be applied in computer-assisted hip surgery and prosthesis design.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and long - term prognosis of neonatal lupus erythe-matosus(NLE)and to improve the understanding of NLE. Methods The clinical manifestations and related serologi-cal tests of NLE children diagnosed from June 2010 to January 2014 were analyzed. Regular follow - up was carried out to detect the general condition,rash,blood routine,urine routine,liver and kidney function,complement,red blood cell sedimentation rate(ESR),auto antibodies,electrocardiogram,and ultrasound cardiogram. Results Among the 11 NLE cases,there were 6 male and 5 female patients. All had lesions on skin,3 cases had hematologic changes,7 cases were had liver damage,and 4 cases had heart impairment. The antinuclear antibody and anti - sjogren sydrome A/ Ro antigen (SSA/ Ro)were positive in all the patients. The anti - sjogren sydrome B antigen was positive in 5 patients. The anti -double stands deoxyribonucleic acid antibody was positive in 4 patients. Antibody against U1 - ribonudeoprotein was positive in 3 patients,and the level of ESR was higher in 5 patients. The antinuclear antibody and anti - SSA/ Ro anti-body were positive in all mothers. Only 1 mother had no symptom before pregnancy,7 patients had SLE,3 patients had sjogren syndrome. Seven patients received protect liver enzyme treatment,3 cases of glucocorticoid therapy,and 1 case had combined intravenous treatment with gamma globulin. Among the 11 cases,10 cases were followed up for 10 months to 4 years,while 1 case died from complete bundle branch block after 5 weeks of birth. At 1 year old,10 cases of cuta-neous lupus damage had liver damage were resorted to normal,and the rheumatic autoimmune related autoantibodies of 9 cases turned to be negative,but 1 case was diagnosed as Kawasaki disease when she was 1 year old. Conclusions One of the most common clinical manifestations of NLE was damage of skin,had the liver and blood system abnormity were common but usually not serious. Heart disease especially complete atrioventricular block was less. The long - term follow - up for children with NLE is necessary,and the majority of the prognosis is good,as only a few have the possibi-lity of developing other autoimmune diseases.

Purpose The aim of this study is to define molecular sub-healthy status among individuals attending routine physical examination.Methods This study examined 8 blood tumor markers among 5 825 healthy individuals.Results (1) Differences in levels of tumor markers were observed between males and females.(2) Elevated CA72-4 levels were seen in 16.05％ of individuals in both sexes.(3) More males had elevated levels of CEA and CYFRA21-1.Among the individuals with elevated levels of tumor markers,most were clustered in the prime age group of 41 to 50 years.Conclusion This is the first large-sample survey in healthy Han population in Xinjiang,which found elevated levels of all 8 markers tested with varying rates.Accordingly,this study proposes for the first time a concept of molecular sub-healthy status and a strategy of early tumor screening at molecular level.The molecular sub-healthy status may be an early warning sign for potential cancers,which should draw attention by preventive public health policies.

Objective To analyze the clinical and electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics as well as its evolutionary process of Dravet syndrome (DS) in order to improve early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.Methods Fifty patients with DS were studied including onset age, trigger factors, seizure types on different age stages and relationship with EEG characteristics and its evolution process.Results The average age of seizure onset was ( 5.5 ± 1.9 ) months.The fever sensitivity continuously existed in the entire course of disease.In the early stage, generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) and focal or unilateral seizures were main types.Multi seizure types included myoclonic seizures (MS) and atypical absence occurred later.The onset ages of MS were average (M50) of 16 months.MS never occurred in 26% of the patients.During the first year of life, EEGs were normal in 76% of these patients.The epileptiform discharges only recorded in about 50% of the patients in spite of multi seizure types had presented.After three years ago, both EEG background abnormalities and discharges occurred in more 90% of the all patients.Photosensitivity response with MS occurred in the 28% of 18 patients.Conclusions The clinical and EEG are not parallel progressively process in early stage of DS.The children often express more severe clinical seizures than EEG abnormalities until 2 years of age.Various abnormal EEG manifestation obviously display gradually after 3 years age.Precise recognizing with the clinical and EEG characteristics of DS will help get correct early diagnosis and screen the candidate cases to test SCN1A gene.

98%. In the pDOR-myb infected HSCs, c-myb expression levels, the cell proliferation, and ? 1-Ⅰ collagen mRNA expression were repressed significantly. CONCLUSIONS: c-myb plays a key role in the activation and proliferation of HSC. c-myb antisense RNA can inhibit cell proliferation and ? 1-Ⅰ collagen mRNA expression in the infected HSC. These data suggest that inhibition of c-myb gene expression would be a potential way for the treatment of liver fibrosis.

AIM: To investigate the function and morphological changes of long-term cultured primary rat hepatocytes. METHODS: Rat primary hepatocytes were isolated by two-step in situ collagenase perfusion method, and then were purified by density and grade centrifugal method with Percoll. Cell viability was observed by 0.4% trypan blue. The hepatocytes were seeded into 6 wells plate with HepatoZYME-SFM medium. ALT, AST, albumin and urea levels in the supernatant were measured, CYPⅠA1 was detected with EROD method. RESULTS: (2-3)?108 cells per whole liver were obtained with viability and purity above 90% after purified with Percoll. Hepatocytes cultured in HepatoZYME-SFM grew well with normal hepatocyte morphometrics. ALT, AST levels in the supernatant decreased after 3-day culture, and kept at a stable level after 6-9 days. Albumin secretion and urea synthesis were maintained at high levels in 18 days, while CYPⅠA 1 enzyme activity was only detected in 3-6 days. CONCLUSIONS: Percoll was used to increase the viability and purity of freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. Hepatocyte morphometrics and their biological synthesized function are effectively maintained in HepatoZYME-SFM medium.
