Objective To observe the efficacy of drug treatment of coronary aneurysm complicated with embolism in Kawasaki disease (KD). Methods The clinical data of eight KD children with coronary aneurysm and embolism were retrospectively analyzed. Results Eight KD children (six males and two females) at age of 0.25-5.2 years (mean=2.89) ,were diagnosed with gigantic coronary artery aneurysms. The diameter of aneurysm was around 8.3-13.8mm. Thrombosis appeared from 19 days to five months after coronary aneurysms formation. The onset manifestations included sudden chest pain and myocardial infarction with symptoms of heart failure in one case, shock in one case and no symptom in six cases. The maximum diameter of the thrombus was 2.8 mm×15.4 mm in the shape of funicular. Four cases had thrombus in the right coronary artery, two cases in the left coronary artery, and two cases in both sides. The patients underwent anticoagulant therapy taking heparin, urokinase, warfarin, aspirin and dipyridamole. Anticoagulant therapy was successful in 7 cases and the thrombus was completely dissolved in 7 days to more than 4 months. One case had recurrent coronary thrombosis after 4 months. One case died in 12 hours after thrombolysis. Conclusions Coronary thrombosis usually appears in the half year after the onset of KD coronary aneurysm. Thrombolysis therapy takes long time in Kawasaki patients. Breaking off of thrombus are rarely seen.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is considered as an intermediate clinical state between normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The cognitive function and life ability of patients are normal, which have not met the criteria of AD. MCI is considered to be an earlier stage of AD. The clinical effects of AD in the middle or late stage are unsatisfactory. Therefore, studies on MCI have become the hot research areas both at home and abroad. The therapy of MCI is similar to AD. The treatment effect is uncertain. Hence, the understanding and treatment of MCI by TCM reflected TCM features. This article reviewed on TCM understanding of MCI, TCM syndrome differentiation criteria and TCM treatment methods of MCJ. Thus, it was aimed to further understand the dynamic of MCI in order to provide references for improving TCM clinical effects and reducing the incidence of AD.

Objective To observe the effect of montelukast sodium and ambroxol oral solution in treatment respiratory symptoms caused by mycoplasma infection in children.Methods 147 children who were infected by mycoplasma pneumonia with lower respiratory tracts symptom were randomly divided into A,B,C three groups:group A was control group,group B was treated by montelukast sodium,and group C was treated by montelukast sodium and ambroxol oral solution.Coughing,symptomatic relief of pant were observed in each group.Results After 7 days treatment,the total effective rate of three groups was A group 79.5％,B group 95.7％,C group 96.4％.Compared with group A,the coughing and panting time in group B and group C were significantly shorter(x2 =5.61,9.54,all P ＜0.05),The rate of coughing and panting complete remission in group C was higher compared with group B (x2 =5.39,P ＜ 0.05),but there was no statistificantly significant difference in the total efficency between the two groups.Conclusion Montelukast sodium and ambroxol oral solution can effectively improve the symptoms of respiratory tract infection caused by mycoplasma pneumoniae.

Objective To investigate the development of neonatal mouse testis in castrated immunodeficient mice by monitoring the graft survival and weight and observing the structure of seminiferous epithelium and the composition of spermatogenic cells in grafts. Methods Neonatal Kun-ming mouse testis were grafted under the skin of castrated nude mice(7-12week-old).Grafts were then taken out at different time intervals(namely 16 time points: 3 days,1-11 weeks respectively and 3-6 months respectively).The survival rate of grafts was calculated and the wet weight was measured.Histological analysis was performed for the observation of the structure of seminiferous epithelium and the composition of spermatogenic cells in grafts. Results Four hundrcd and five grafts recovered out of 450 testis grafted, resulting in a recovery rate of 90.0%.The graft weight increased more than 40 times.The developmental pattern of seminiferous tubules and the appearance time of various spermatogenic cells in grafts were similar as seen in intact mice.Eight weeks after the grafrting,an increasing degradation of seminiferous epithelium was observed.Conclusion When neonatal mouse testis were grafted into nude mice,the developmental course was similar as that in normal donors.The optimal retrieval time of round spermatids and sperms was around the end of the first spermatogenesis wave,about 5-7weeks after the grafting procedure.

Objective To explore the basic health state of the hotels in Haidian District. Methods 736 hotels were chosen to investigate on the hygiene state, in Haidian District, Beijing, during Feb.-Jul., 2006, based on the tables for the hygienic quantified and classified management of hotel health supervision. Results The hygienic quantified and classified standard score of 736 hotels was 53.7?22.6, and the standard score of the common hotels, one or two stars hotels and three or more stars hotel were 50.9?21.5, 58.9?24.7, 76.4?17.1. 50 households (6.8%) within them were A degree, 144 households (19.6%) were B degreee, 121 households(16.4%) were C degree and 421 households(57.2%) were D degree. Conclusion The general hygienic state of the hotels should be paid more attention to. The hygienic state changes with the level of the hotels.

Objective: To construct the antheraea pernyi lysozyme(ApLZ) expression system using the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris, to assay the antibacterial activity of the recombinant ApLZ against Streptococcus mutans. Methods:The ApLZ expression system was used in the expression and purity of Ap-lysozyme. The antibacterial activity of the recombinant ApLZ against Streptococcus mutans were assayed by using agar diffusion method. Results:Expression system of ApLZ was constructed using the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris as a host. ApLZ was expressed correctly and secreted efficiently when the native signal sequence of ApLZ was used as secretion signal.
