Objective Discussing the correlation between joint detection of procalcitonin(PCT) ,hypersensitive c‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP) ,WBC and bronchopneumonia in children .Methods Choosing 89 bacterial infection bronchopneumonia children ,92 virus infection bronchopneumonia children ,90 mycoplasma infection bronchopneumonia children and 100 normal children ,detecting their PCT ,hs‐CRP ,WBC and statistical analysis of the level of parallelism .Results There is a positive correlation between bacterial in‐fection group′s PCT and hs‐CRP ,WBC(r=0 .807 ,0 .764 ,P<0 .05) .The joint detection of PCT ,hs‐CRP ,WBC positive rate in bac‐terial infection group is significantly higher than the rest group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion PCT ,hs‐CRP and WBC is a sensitive indica‐tor of bacterial infection .There is important clinical reference value in joint detection to the diagnosis of bacterial infection broncho‐pneumonia in children ,in dynamic monitoring the disease progression ,and in prognosis judgement .

Objective To discuss the correlation between the joint detection of BA,EMAb,ACA and unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion(URSA).Methods Selected 144 URSA cases,166 SA(sporadic abortion)cases,188 normal pregnant women,and detected their BA,EMAb,ACA and statistical analysis of parallelism.Results Comparing URSA group with SA group and control group respectively,there were significant statistical difference between BA negative rate (74.31%, 25.30% and 50.53%),EMAb positive rate (35.42%,7.23% and 6.91%)and ACA positive rate (26.39%,5.42% and 5.32%)(χ2 = 19.344 ~ 74.180;P < 0.05;χ2 = 37.837 ~ 42.586,P < 0.05),(χ2 = 26.355 ~ 29.270,P < 0.05).URSA group’s BA,ACA and EMAb joint detection rate of positive (84.72%)was significantly higher than SA group and the con-trol group (χ2 =35.532~93.076,P <0.05).Conclusion There was a close relationship between the lack of BA,the genera-tion of EMAb,ACA and unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion.Joint detection has important clinical significance in auxiliary diagnosis of unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion and prognosis judgement.

Objective To explore the status of depression in patients with advanced schistosomiasis and its influencing fac-tors,so as to provide the evidence for improving psychological interventions. Methods A total of 206 patients with advanced schistosomiasis were investigated with the self-designed general information questionnaire,the Self-Rating Depression Scale,and WHOQOL-BREF Form. Results Among the 206 cases,the incidence of depression was 69.4%,and depression was negatively related to the quality of life(P = 0.000). The multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the times of hospitalization(β=0.442,P=0.007)was a risk factor for depression,while the high education levels(β=-0.583,P=0.011)and the history of por-tal hypertension operation(β=-0.917,P=0.000)were the protective factors. Conclusion The incidence of depression in ad-vanced schistosomiasis patients is high,and it is influenced by various factors. Therefore,we should take corresponding interven-tions to reduce its occurrence.

OBJECTIVETo identify the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation on cell death induced by Ent-11alpha-hydroxy-15-oxo-kaur-16-en-19-oic-acid (5F) in HepG2 cells.

METHODMTT assay was used to determine the effect of 5F on proliferation of HepG2 cells, and apoptotic morphological changes were assessed using Hoechst/PI assay. To evaluate intracellular ROS levels, a GENMED kit was used. HepG2 cells were treated with 5F for 24 h or with 1 mmol x L(-1) GSH for 1 h prior to treatment with 5F for 24 h, then cytoplasmic mono- and oligonucleosomes were assessed with Cell Death Detection ELISA kit.

RESULTThe cytotoxicity of 5F on HepG2 cells was elevated with increasing 5F concentrations, as evidenced by the cell viability assay, and the apoptotic changes such as chromatin condensation were confirmed by Hoechst/PI staining. The decrease in ROS generation was observed in HepG2 cells following treatment with 5F. Cytoplasmic mono- and oligonucleosomes induced by 5F were not changed by decreasing basal level of ROS-mediated signaling with GSH. Further more, induction of ROS production by cisplatinum (CDDP) was canceled by treatment with 5F and 5F revealed a additive effect to cell killing by CDDP.

CONCLUSION5F can not only induce apoptosis through non-ROS-depandent pathway, and can abate oxidant stress.
