Objective To observe the effect of intermittent and continuous blue light therapy for pathological neonatal jaundice,and to evaluate the prognosis of newborns.Methods 214 patients with pathologic neonatal jaundice who treated with blue light irradiation were slected,they were randomly divided into two groups according to the admission number combined with single and double numbers,107 patients in each group.Group A received continuous blue light irradiation treatment.Group B received intermittent blue light irradiation.The clinical efficacy and prognosis of children,blue light exposure time,serum total bilirubin (TBiL) recovery time,the hospitalization time and the adverse reactions during the treatment were observed.The levels of serum TBiLwere measured before and after light exposure 3,5 days.Results The total effective rate of group B was 97.18％ (104/107),which was higher than that of group A [90.65 ％ (97/107)],the difference was statistically significant (x2 =10.30,P ＜ 0.05).The time of blue light irradiation and hospital stay time of group B were (71.59 ± 7.05) d and (11.51 ± 1.23) d,respectively,which were significantly shorter than those of group A [(79.54 ± 6.82) d and (13.64 ± 1.18) d],the differences were statistically significant (u =11.42,9.87,all P ＜ 0.05).The level of TBiL of group B was (96.28 ± 10.25) μmol/L,which was significantly lower than (104.52 ± 10.31) μmol/L of group A (u =8.94,P ＜ 0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reactions in group B was 2.55％ (4/157),which was lower than that in group A [7.01％ (11/157)],the difference was statistically significant (x2 =9.66,P ＜ 0.05).The prognosis of neonatal in the two groups was good.Conclusion The intermittent and continuous blue light in the treatment of pathological neonatal jaundice has good clinical effect and the neonatal prognosis is good.The clinical efficacy of intermittent blue light irradiation is better,which can significantly shorten the treatment time and has higher safety.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of caspofungin in the treatment of invasive fungal disease (IFD) in advanced age patients. Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data was conducted. IFD patients who had received caspofungin treatment in elderly wards were included. Results From January 2007 to August 2009, 29 IFD patients aged 80-100 years (mean 89 ) were treated with caspofungin. Except that one patient dead on the first drug administration day, there were 28 evaluable patients, 13 were cured (46.4%), 6 were markedly improved (21.4%), 3 progressed (10.8%) and 6 dead (21.4%). The overall effective rate was 67. 8%. Of 13cured patients, 12 were Candida bacreremia, 1 was Candida albicans disease of lung. Of 6 dead patients, 2 were Candida bacteremia, 1 was Candida albicans disease of lung and 3 was suspected of lung IFD. One patient performed that alanine aminotransferase was increased, considering drug-related impairment of liver function. Conclusions Caspofungin is effective and safe in the treatment of IFD in advanced age patients.

Objective To explore the clinical effect and safety of methimazole combined with 131I in treatment of hyperthyroidism.Methods Patients (83 cases) with hyperthyroidism accepted in Xi'an Jiaotong University Affiliated San Er Ling Yi Hospital from June 2012 to June 2015 were selected and divided into observation group with 42 cases and control group with 41 cases.Patients in observation group were given methimazole combined with 131I,and patients in control group were given PTU combined with 131I.Then the clinical effect,thyroid gland serological indexes,adverse reations,and reoccurrence rates of two groups were observed and compared.Results The total clinical efficacy of observation group was 95.24％,which was obviously higher than 70.73％ of control group with statistically significance (P ＜ 0.05).TSH was getting higher after treatment of two groups,and T3,T4,FT3,FT4,TRAb,and TPOAb were getting lower after treatment of two groups.And TSH in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group,T3,T4,FT3,and FT4 were significantly lower than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The adverse reaction rate of observation group (14.29％) was obviously lower than that of control group (46.34％) with statistically significance (P ＜ 0.05).The reoccurrence rate of observation group (4.76％) was obviously lower than that of control group (26.83％) with statistically significance(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Methimazole combined with 131I has good effect and safety in treatment of hyperthyroidism,which is worth of clinical application.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Shema Zhichuan Liquid (SZL) for asthma. Methods Forty rats were allocated to normal control group (Group A), model group (Group B),western medicine group (Group C) and SZL group (Group D). Radioimmunoassay was used to observe the levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and the ratio of cAMP/cGMP.Results After treatment, cAMP level and cAMP/cGMP ratio were increased and cGMP level decereased in Group C and Group D as compared with Group B (P

Objective: We observed the influence of recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH) on protein metabolism in hepatocirrhotic rats and investigated mechanisms. Methods: Ninety rats were randomized into three groups(n=30 for each group): group A(normal rats), B(cirrhotic rats) and C(cirrhotic rats receiving rhGH). Rats in group C were subcutaneously given rhGH with a dosage of 1 U/(kg?d) for up to 1 week. The plasma concentrations of albumin(ALB), prealbumin(PA), transferrin(TF) and insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) were detected on experimental day 14. And liver biopsy was taken to examine the expression level of albumin mRNA with TR-PCR. Results: The albumin, prealbumin, transferrin and IGF-1 levels in groups A and C were significantly higher than those in group B. The expression level of albumin mRNA in grup C was significantly higher than that in group B. Conclusions: The rhGH can improve the level of IGF-1 in plasma and improve the expression of albumin mRNA. Moreover, it may significantly improve the synthesis of protein and attenuate hypoproteinemia in cirrhotic rats.

Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell disease with the second highest incidence among hematological malignancies. Its risk of concurrent thrombosis is high, which greatly affects the quality of life and even endangers life of multiple myeloma patients. The pathogenesis of thrombosis in patients with multiple myeloma is complex, which is still unclear. However many mechanisms are considered to be related to hypercoagulable state in patients with multiple myeloma. Currently, there is a lack of thrombosis risk assessment model for multiple myeloma. Therefore, this paper reviews the research and the latest progress of venous thrombosis in patients with multiple myeloma, and provides a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis.

Objective To investigate the association of serum interleukin-6 and interleukin-18 concentration in patients with meta-bolic syndrome (MS), and explore the role of inflammtory markers in these patients. Methods 83 patients with MS were enrolled into study group, among of them, 47 were male and 36 were female, their average was 48.95±10. 17 years. The control group was made of 85 normal volunteers. The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin, plasma lipids, interleukin-6 and interleukin-18 were meas-ured in all the patients and normal subjects. The insulin sensitive index was calculated. The levels of the fasting blood inflammatory markers were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the HOMA-βof the MS group was significantly de-creased, but the levels of IL-18 and IL-6 were significantly increased. The serum IL-18 levels were positive correlated with FPG, FINS, TG, HOMA-IR, IL-6. Conclusion There are IR and abnormal serum level of IL-18 and IL-6 in patients with MS. It has an intimate association between abnormal serum IL-18 and IR. The inflammatory reaction may play an important role in the development of IR in patients with MS.

Objective studyring the proven and probable invasive pulmonary aspergillosis(IPA) eases of some hospitals in Shanghai to provide evidence fur the improvement of IPA clinical diagnosis and therapy.Methotis Fortv-nine IPA cases were retrospectively analyzed for demography data,host tactors,underlying conditions.chest CT,microorganism and histopathology examination,as well as therapy and clinical outcome.ResultsOf 49 subjects including 19(38.8%)proven and 30(61.2%)probable IPA,3 pailents(6.1%)had no host factors,25 patients(51.0%)had IPA associated host factors and underlying conditions.while 21 patients(42.9%)had uncertained fundamental diseases.Chest CT evaluation demonstrated that radiological lesions include nodules in 29 patients,patching in 15,mass in 12,consolidation in 10.cavitation in 34,Halo sign in 19,air bronchogram in 18,crescentic sign in 6,bilateral in 33 and multifocal lesions in 38.The yielding rate of fungus culture in sputum was 26.5%(13/49),and in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was 66.7%(10/15).Eleven of thirty-six patients(30.6%)had positive results of serum galactomannan antigen tests.Nineteen of twenty-one patients(90.5%)were proven as IPA by lung histologic examinations.Aspergillus fumigatus was the most common pathogen 81.0%(17/21).The responding rate to initial anti-fugus therapy wag 50%(21/42).Conclusion Our study suggests that in IPA patients,bilateral,muhifocal and nodular lesion could be the most common radiological characteristic,while Halo and crescentic sign occar occasionally.Invasive technologies are more valuable to IPA diagnosis.
