Clinical data of 28 cases of childhood bronchiolitis obliterans treated from September 2008 to November 2010 were retrospectively analysis.Pulmonary high-resolution CT (HRCT) showed that bronchial wall thicken was seen in all 28 patients,the mosaic pattern in 26 cases,patchy shadows in 18 cases,bronchiectasis with typical signet ring sign in 2 cases,atelectasis in 2 cases without pleural effusion.Pulmonary function tests and flexible bronchofiberscopy were performed in 6 cases,which showed the inflammation in bronchial tunica intima and obstruction of small airway.Blood routine,blood sedimentation,c-reaction protein,TORCH,hepatic function,renal function and immune function were normal.Patients received comprehensive treatment with methylprednisolone,clarithromycin and montelukast.The clinical conditions of 28 cases were improved with varying degrees after treatment and no significant side effects were observed.

Abstract Objective:To induce cardiac transplantation tolerance by parabiosis in allogeneic rats and study the mechanism of the allograft tolerance.Methods: Spleen cells 2 x 10~8 of DA and LEW rats were injected from ones to the others via the glossal vein.2 day later cyclophos-phamide(CP) 80 mg/kg was injected intraperioneally. On the third day the operation of parabiosis was carried out and then separated after 1 week.The LEW rats received DA cardiac heterotopic allografts.The survival was observed and monitored.The tolerant mechanisms were investi-gated by detection of chimerism,MLR cell-transferred tests in vivo and IL-2 reverse.Results:The cardiac allograft survival was significantly pro-longed; The detection of chimerism showed that the formation of tolerance is correlative to chimerism. MLR and cell-transferred tests in vivo demonstrated that the inhibited immune response of recipient rats is specific for donors, and suppressie cell exists in the recipient rats. The exog-enous IL-2 reverse showed that the tolerance mechanisms are relative to energy. Conclusion: The parabiosis can induce tolerance in rats and prolong rats cardiac allograft survival.The transplantation tolerance include several mechanisms.

Objective To investigate current status of cognitive behavior on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to provide evidence for targeted intervention.Methods A questionnaire survey on COPD was conducted at 12 settings of 4 prefectures that were sampled from Ningxia Province using multistage stratified cluster random sampling method,and 4268 residents at least 40 years old were interviewed.Multivariate linear regression method was used for data analysis.Results A total of 4056 valid questionnaires were returned from 4200 participants with an effective response rate of 96.57%.Only 6.51%(264/4056) had an idea of COPD,13.88% (563/4056) regarded cigarette smoking as a risk factor of chronic bronchitis and emphysema,and 6.39% (259/4056) knew pulmonary function tests.Home income,living area,education level and ethnicity were main factors influencing COPD awareness.The percentage of current cigarette smoking was 28.80% (1168/4056) with 20.40% in Hui (Muslim) ethnic group and 34.63% in Han ethnic group (P < 0.05 ) ; smoking index and severe smokers were not significantly different between the two groups ( P > 0.05 ).Conclusion Our data suggest a considerably poor knowledge and prevention awareness of COPD in Ningxia Province.In spite of relatively lower cigarette smoking rate,the problem that Hui (Muslim) ethnic people are lack of COPD awareness should not to be neglected.
