RBC vital staning method was used to determine the shape of RBC in urine of patients with epidemic hemorrhagic fever (EHF) by LM. The results showed that hematuria specimens of 10 cases of EFH were glomeruler hematuria. The percentage of the morphological aberration in RBC was closely related with the severity of the disease, An increasing percentage of the morphological aberration, proteinuria BUN creatinin, was abnormal. Pathogenesis of the morphological aberration in REC in urine of the EHF patients is discussed in this paper.We suggest that the morphological aberration in RBC in urine of EHF patients can be taken as a sign of kidney lesions.

In this peper, 100 cases of Epidemic Hemorrhagic Fever in Renal failure were analysed and summarized in our hospital from 1983 to 1985. According to The clinical findings and the laboratory determinations of their Renal damages such as BUN, creatinin, electrolytes of serum, Morphologic observations of RBC in urine, Urinary FDP and lysozyme, Partial pathologic materials of renal puncture they were classified into four clinical types. Of them 75% non-oliquric renal failure type, 19% oliquric renal failure type, 3% chronic renal failure type and 3% twice renal frilure type, compared with the clinical findings of these four types there were singnificant difference renal functions and the effect of treatment It was suggested that the study on clinical classification of epidemic hemorrhagic fever in rcbal failure would be more beneficial to dirrect the prophylactic-theraputic research.

From 1988 — 1990, the plasma 6 — keto —PGF_1. and TXB_2 were detected with radioimmunoassay in 100 cases with various types of viral hepatitis. The results showed thatTXB_2 and 6—keto— PGF_1. increase and PGF~./TXB_2 ratio decreased. There was clear difference as compaied with the normal. The value and PGF_1./TXB_2 ratio were correlated with jaundice, ascits, spontaneous peritonitis,and hepatorenal syndrome.

Objective To explore the roles of cytokines in the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome(HFRS). Methods Double-antibody sandwich ELISA was used to determine serum interleukin (IL)-6, urine tumor necrosis factor (TNF), IL-6 and IL-8 levels in 56 patients with HFRS. Results Serum IL-6, urine TNF, IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations in HFRS patients were significantly higher than those in control group, respectively (P＜0.001). The concentrations increased at fever stage, then continued to increase during hypotension stage and peaked at oliguria stage. The concentrations of serum IL-6, urine TNF, IL-6 and IL-8 increased in accord with the severity of the disease and differed greatly among different types of the disease. Serum IL-6 had remarkable relationships with serum specific antibodies. It was positively related to serum β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), blood ureanitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr). Significant positive relationships were also found both between urine IL-6 and TNF, and between IL-6 and IL-8 (r=0.5768, P＜0.05; r=0.3760, P＜0.01). Conclusion TNF, IL-6 and IL-8 activated during the course of the disease. IL-6 is associated with the immunopathological lesions caused by the hyperfunction of humoral immune response. IL-6, IL-8 and TNF are involved in the renal immune impairment. Determining them might, in certain extent, be used in predicting the prognosis and outcome of patients with HFRS.

AIM:To investigate the effects of P2X4 receptor on peri-sciatic administration of recombinant rat TNF-α(rrTNF)-induced mechanical allodynia.METHODS:Male Sprague-Dawley rats (180~200 g) were used in the experiments.The levels of P2X4 receptor on day 3, day 7 and day 14 after peri-sciatic administration of rrTNF were exam-ined by Western blot, and the location of P2X4 receptor in the spinal dorsal horn was observed by double immunofluores-cence staining.The changes of 50%paw-withdrawal thresholds of the rat were detected by behavioral test, and the level of TNF-αin the spinal dorsal horn was also examined by Western blot when TNP-ATP was intrathecally injected before the ad-ministration of rrTNF.RESULTS:Compared with control group, the expression of P2X4 receptor in the spinal dorsal horn on the ipsilateral side significantly increased on day 3, day 7 and day 14 (P<0.01) after rrTNF (100 ng/L) administra-tion.P2X4 receptor was co-localized only with microglia, but not with neurons or astrocytes.Intrathecal injection of TNP-ATP before rrTNF administration prevented mechanical allodynia induced by rrTNF and inhibited the upregulation of TNF-αin the spinal dorsal horn.CONCLUSION:P2X4 receptors in microglia may be involved in rrTNF-induced mechanical allodynia by the upregulation of TNF-αin the spinal dorsal horn.

Objective To find the best model parameters through Monte Carlo simulation of 6 MV flattening-filter-free (FFF) beams in TrueBeam accelerator, and establish the foundation for the further study of the clinical dosimetry on 6 MV FFF X-rays.Methods Using the BEAMnrc and DOSXYZnrc codes, the percentage depth dose (PDD) and the off-axis ratio (OAR) curves of field ranges from 4 cm ×4 cm to 40 cm × 40 cm were simulated for 6 MV FFF X-ray by adjusting the incident beam energy, radial intensity distribution and angular spread, respectively.The simulation results and measured data were compared, where the optimal Monte Carlo model input parameters were acquired.Results The simulation was most comparable to the measurement when the incident electron energy, full width at half maximum (FWHM) and the spread angle were set as 6.1 MeV, 0.75 mm and 0.9°, respectively.The deviation of 1 mm (position)/1％ (local dose) could be met by the PDD of all tested field sizes and by the OAR when the fields sizes were no larger than 30 cm ×30 cm.The OAR of 40 cm ×40 cm field sizes fulfilled criteria of 1 mm (position)/1.5％ (local dose).Conclusions Monte Carlo simulation agrees well with the measurement and the proposed model parameters, which can be used for further clinical dosimetry studies of 6 MV FFF X-rays.

Objective To observe the antioxidative dosage-effect relationship of Marigold lutein, and provide experimental data for clinical use. Methods The mice were randomly divided into seven groups:blank control group, model control group, 1 mg/kg lutein group, 5 mg/kg lutein group, 25 mg/kg lutein group, 125 mg/kg lutein group and 625 mg/kg lutein group. The mice in blank control group were dealt with saline solution by intraperitoneal injection, the others were dealt with D-galactose (120 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection for seven weeks to make oxidative damage model, meanwhile the mice were given corresponding dose of the drug. Subsequently, the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the serum were measured, and the antioxidative dosage-effect relationship was observed. Results The 1, 5, 25 mg/kg lutein reduced the MDA level and increased SOD activity, and the 125, 625 mg/kg dose of lutein did not show significant antioxidant activity. Conclusion Lutein has significant antioxidant activity in mouse dealt with D-galactose within the dose range of 1-25 mg/kg. The results suggest that the clinical dosage range of lutein should be kept within reasonable limits.

Objective To observe the antioxidative dosage-effect relationship of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE). Methods The mice were randomly divided into seven groups:blank group, model group, 5 mg/kg GSPE group, 15 mg/kg GSPE group, 45 mg/kg GSPE group, 135 mg/kg GSPE group and 405 mg/kg GSPE group. The mice in blank group were dealt with saline solution by intraperitoneal injection, the others were dealt with D-galactose (120 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection for seven weeks to make oxidative damage model. Meanwhile, the mice were given corresponding dose of the drug. Subsequently the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the serum were measured to observe the antioxidative dosage-effect relationship of GSPE. Results The 45, 135, 405 mg/kg GSPE group reduced the MDA level, and the 15, 45, 135, 405 mg/kg GSPE group increased the SOD activity. Conclusion GSPE has significant antioxidant activity on mice dealt with D-galactose above the dose of 15 mg/kg, suggesting that the clinical use of GSPE should guarantee a certain dose to play a good antioxidant effect.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nonsurgical methods in early postnatal correction of congenital auricle malformation.Methods:The clinical trials regarding non-surgical treatment for congenital ear deformity published before May 2021 were searched in databases of Cochrane Library, PubMed, Medline, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang. The information of included studies was extracted. The Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.Results:A total of 15 trials were included, involving 1 349 patients. The Meta-analysis results showed that the effect of the group <6 weeks was better than the group over 6 weeks ( OR=4.67, 95% CI: 3.21, 6.78, Z=8.09, P<0.001); The complications incidence of the group < 6 weeks was lower than the group over 6 weeks ( OR=0.27, 95% CI: 0.08, 0.88, Z=2.18, P=0.03); The correction time required of the group <6 weeks was shorter than the group over 6 weeks ( MD=-11.81, 95% CI: -18.36, -5.26, Z=3.54, P=0.001). Conclusions:Non-surgical correction of congenital ear malformation within 6 weeks after birth has better efficacy and safety.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and dosimetric parameters associated with acute hematologic toxicity (AHT) resulting from radiation-induced damage to hematopoietic organs in patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer and to provide a reference for establishing dose constraints in relevant regions of interest (ROIs) and predicting adverse tissue reactions during the development of clinical treatment plans. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 556 patients with cervical cancer who underwent chemoradiotherapy at our hospital. Univariate (χ² and t-test) and multivariate (binary logistic regression analyses) methods were employed to investigate the association of clinical factors and pelvic dose-volume parameters with grade ≥ 3 AHT in patients with cervical cancer. Clinical factors comprised patients’ age, clinical stage, pathologic stage, whether the patient had received chemotherapy in the radiotherapy cycle of interest, and dose-volume dosimetric parameters V_x and D_mean for pelvic bone marrow (BM) and femoral head (FH) structures. Results The incidence of AHT among the included cases was 30.4% (169/556). Chi-square analysis of the clinical factors revealed that whether the patient had received chemotherapy, patient’s age, and pathologic stage had a significant impact on AHT. Univariate analysis showed that the factors associated with AHT were mean dose, V₅, V₁₀, V₁₅, V₂₀, and V₂₅ of BM and FH; dosimetric parameters such as V₃₅ of FH had a significant impact on the development of AHT. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified V₁₅ of pelvic BM as an independent risk factor for AHT (P=0.041), with a threshold value of 84.29% as determined by a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Conclusion Whether a patient had received chemotherapy in the radiotherapy cycle of interest, and patient’s age and pathologic stage can serve as predictors of AHT. V₁₅ of BM is an independent risk factor for AHT development. Therefore, when formulating a treatment plan, it is crucial to ensure that pelvic V₁₅ remains below 84.29% to effectively reduce the incidence of grade ≥ 3 acute bone marrow depression.
