Objective To investigate effect of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on serum trace elements and lactate dehydrogenase activity in patients with malignant lymphoma.Methods 80 patients with malignant lymphoma collected in our hospital from May 2013 to May 2014,40 cases in each group, Hodgkin lymphoma ( HL) patients were treated with ABVD ( doxorubicin, bleomycin, vincristine, dacarbazine) regimen of chemotherapy; Non-Hodgkin,s lymphoma ( NHL) patients were treated with standard CHOP ( cyclophosphamide, vincristine, epirubicin, dexamethasone) regimen of chemotherapy of two group.Chemotherapy drugs combined with granulocyte colony stimulating factor ( G-CSF) was used to mobilize APBSC.Application of 10μg/(kg? d)G-CSF 5 in bone marrow suppression after chemotherapy, detected white cell increased 3.0 ×109/L , platelets rose to 50 ×109/L, collected APBSC,The frozen stock solution of cell was joined and frozen.24 h after pre-treatment, the frozen peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells of the subclavian vein was transfused for patients in experimental group.Control group continued to receive chemotherapy. After treatment, the Cu level, Zn level and lactate dehydrogenase activity were detected in all patients.ResuIts After treatment, Zn levels of two groups increased (P<0.05), Cu and Cu/Zn levels decreased (P<0.05).Compared with control group, the level of Zn was higher in experimental group (P<0.05), and the level of Cu and Cu/Zn was lower (P<0.05).After treatment, the lactate dehydrogenase activity of two groups decreased (P<0.05), and experimental group was more lower than control groupy (P<0.05).ConcIusion Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can significantly reduce the level of Cu in patients with malignant lymphoma , elevate Zn level and decrease the activity of lactate dehydrogenase, which has guiding significance for clinical.

Objective Health education was provided among driving coaches with overweight or obesity to improve their self-healthcare awareness.Methods Of 116 driving coaches from Changping District who underwent physical examinations and biochemical tests, 79 were confirmed to have overweight or obesity and received body weight management.Results Following 3 years of health management, 79 overweight or obese participants showed significant improvement in waist circumference ((93.5±8.4) vs (92.0±9.5) cm), systolic blood pressure ((130.8±12.4) vs (127.8±11.6) mm Hg, 1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), diastolic blood pressure ((87.0±9.7) vs (85.6±9.3) mm Hg), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ((1.1±0.4) vs (1.2±0.3) mmol/L), and glucose ((5.6±1.5) vs (5.4±1.6) mmol/L) (all P<0.05). Awareness of obesity-related knowledge showed significant difference before and after the intervention (P<0.05), although no changes of chronic diseases and abnormal measurements were found (P>0.05).Conclusion Overweight and obesity in middle-aged adults is of concern and needs long-term effective interventions.

[Objective] To compare the effects of Radix Astragali (RA) and triperygium glucosides (TG) on glomerular mesangial cells (GMC) proliferation and interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion. [Methods] GMC were cultured with in-vitro cell culture technology. Serum containing RA and serum containing TG were prepared with serum pharmacological methods. GMC proliferation was detected by methylthiazolyltetrazolium (MTT) assay and IL-6 level by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to evaluate the effect of low-, moderate- and high-dosages of RA-containing serum and TG-containing serum under the condition of GMC over-proliferation. [ Results] Different dosages of RA-containing serum and TG-containing serum inhibited GMC proliferation and IL-6 secretion in a dose-effect manner, and the inhibitory effect of high- and moderate-dosage TG and high-dosage RA was stronger. [Conclusion] Under the condition of in-vitro GMC over-proliferation, RA has the similar inhibitory effects on GMC proliferation and IL-6 secretion with TG. The combined treatment of RA and TG can reduce the dose of TG and probably has an action in increasing effect and reducing toxicity.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the rational use of antibiotics in outpatients who had genital tract Mycoplas-ma infections in Yulin area. METHODS:Using the integration culture plate,19 836 outpatient's specimens with suspected Myco-plasma infection from Yulin Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital during 2012 to 2014 were tested,and then the results of drug susceptibility test were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS:In the total of 19 836 inspected specimens,5 640 cases were positive with the rate of 28.4%. The positive rate of Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu),Mycoplasma hominis(Mh),mixed(Uu+ Mh)infection were 88.0%,3.8% and 8.2% respectively. The positive rate of male patient with Mycoplasma infection was lower than female pa-tient(P<0.05). Male and female patients with positive maximum age respectively at the age of 25 to 40 (81.3%) and 20 to 35 years old(78.6%). From 2012 to 2014,Mycoplasma showed different degree of drug resistance to 9 kinds of antibiotics. In gener-al,the resistance rate of Uu to lincocin was close to 100%,Mh to erythromycin,roxithromycin and azithromycin were higher than 70%,and those of Uu+Mh were lower than 10% only to josamcine,minocycline and doxycycline. CONCLUSIONS:During 2012 to 2014,the rate of genital tract Mycoplasma infection in male and female outpatients of Yulin region increased year by year,and the infection mainly caused by Uu with a serious drug resistance. We should also pay attentions to the increase of Mh infection and mixed infection. Josamycin,minocycline and doxcycline can be used as a drug choice for empiric preferred treatment,and other an-tibiotics should be used based on antibiotics susceptibility test results.

3D printing technology has been used in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases worldwide,i.e.,preoperative assessment of complex congenital heart disease,comprehensive assessment of novel clinical techniques,management of postoperative complications,and clinical teaching and training.Chinese hospitals introduced cardiovascular 3D printing technology from 2014.Preliminary clinical application showed that 3D printing had a positive significance,howeverit was expensive and caused inevitableloss of image information.Scholars should have an open but critical mind,actively try this technology and improve it.It can be reasonably believed as a good supplement of existing imaging tools in future.

Objective:To compare the effectiveness between three methods for purifying the immunoglobulin of egg yolk(IgY) which are polyethylene glycol (PEG) method, chloroform extraction method and chloroform / PEG method, and to provide basis for obtaining the batch of IgY.Methods:The inactivated vaccine of Vibrio parahemolyticus (V. parahemolyticus) was prepared and the hens were immunized by multi-point intramuscular injection.The eggs were collected and the IgY was purified by PEG method, chloroform extraction method and chloroform/PEG method.The protein extraction rate, the IgY titer and the purity of the antibody which purified by different methods were detected.Furthermore, the operation process, cost and safety of the three methods were analyzed.Results:The protein contents of the extraction belonging three methods from high to low in turn were chloroform extraction method, chloroform/PEG method, and PEG method.There was no significant difference in the antibody titer between three methods, and the tiler of chloroform extraction method was slightly high.The purities of purified antibody from high to low in turn were PEG method, chloroform/PEG method and chloroform method.The PEG method had better security but relatively lower extraction efficiency and higher cost.The chloroform/PEG method had high extraction efficiency and good antibody purity.Conclusion:The PEG method is suitable for a small amount of extraction in the laboratory.The chloroform/PEG method is appropriate for extracting the high quality IgY in a batch as it has high extraction efficiency and good antibody purity.

OBJECTIVEReduced oxygen availability at a high altitude is associated with increased pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP). With the altitude goes up the change of PAP in healthy children is still not clear. The difference of PAP in native Tibetan and Han children at a high altitude are also not clear. Many studies have shown that Doppler echocardiographic estimation of PAP correlates closely to the values obtained with the invasive measurement. Therefore the indexes of PAP in health children living at different altitudes were investigated and the indexes of PAP in Han and Tibetan children at the high altitude were compared by Doppler echocardiography.

METHODSA randomized survey was carried out on the indexes of PAP with Doppler echocardiography (HP-8500 and CAL-163 echocardiographic machine) by two doctors of Qinghai Provincial Women and Children Hospital from June 1998 to July 2002. The survey covering Jiuzhi Qinghai (at 3700 m above the sea level), Xining Qinghai (at 2260 m above the sea level) and Shanghai (at 16 m above the sea level) included a population of 1061 children aged 0 - 14 years. The population of 1061 composed of 218 Han children at Shanghai, 567 Han children at Xining Qinghai and 276 children at Jiuzhi, Qinghai including 118 migrated Han and 148 native Tibetan children. The physical, EKG and chest X-ray examination of each child were carried out to ensure all the subjects were healthy. A pulse oximeter was placed on each child's foot to provide measurements of arterial oxygen saturation (SO2) distal to the ductus arteriosus. The indexes of PAP included right ventricular systolic time interval (RSTI) and mean of pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) which was assessed by a multiple regression equation (mPAP=27.79 + 35.42 x PEP/AT-50.85 x AT/ETc). The AT/ETc was that AT/ET was divided by R-R. The RSTI included previous ejection period (PEP), ascending time (AT), ejection time (ET), PEP/AT and AT/ET. All subjects were divided into 7 age groups. The data of PAP indexes were compared among three different altitude groups and age groups. The data of PAP indexes were also compared in Han and Tibetan children living over 3700 m sea level in each age group.

RESULTSWith the altitude increase the SO2 of the subjects obviously reduced and the indexes of PAP changed. The SO2 correlated closely with the PEP, AT, PEP/A, AT/ET and mPAP (r = 0.352, 0.144, -0.394, -0.166 and -0.363, respectively; P < 0.01). The AT and AT/ET in the groups of 2260 m and 3700 m were shorter than those in the group of 16 m (P = 0.03-0.000) in each age group. The PEP and PEP/AT in 3700 m group were longer than those in 2260 m and 16 m groups (P=0.006-0.000) in each age group. The mPAP in 3700 m group was higher than that in 2260 m and 16 m groups in each age group (mean [+/-SE] mmHg, 35.23 +/- 8.72 vs 17.99 +/- 8.78 and 15.86 +/- 8.96 aged 0 - 28 d, 32.06 +/- 13.38 vs 20.72 +/- 5.71 and 14.64 +/- 8.19 aged to 6 mo, 31.83 +/- 10.53 vs 20.89 +/- 10.12 and 14.69 +/- 5.89 aged to 1 yr, 27.58 +/- 13.55 vs 19.12 +/- 9.75 and 17.36 +/- 6.71 aged to 3 yr, 24.19 +/- 8.38 vs 19.64 +/- 9.36 and 16.43 +/- 4.68 aged to 6 yr, 23.90 +/- 11.35 vs 16.77 +/- 6.79 and 14.42 +/- 6.50 aged to 10 yr, 23.08 +/- 7.31 vs 18.53 +/- 7.25 and 15.45 +/- 6.12 aged to 14 yr, P=0.000). With the growth of the children the reduction of PAP was remarkable at 3700 m above sea level (F=5.638 P=0.000), the mPAP indexes of the first, second and third age groups were evidently higher than those of the other age groups. The SO2, RSTI and mPAP in the native Tibetan children were not different from those in the migrated Han children (P > 0.05) in each age group.

CONCLUSIONThe PAP of healthy children at the high altitude was different from that of healthy children at the low altitude. The PAP of the healthy children at 3700 m above sea level was remarkably increased. At 3700 m above sea level the PAP of newborns and infants increased much more compared with that of juvenile. The race may not significantly affect the PAP at the high altitude. The high altitude hypoxic environment might play a major role in the increase of PAP.

UNLABELLEDThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of cellular immunity activation on P58(+) cells expressing killer cell inhibitory receptor (KIR) and their regulatory function on cellular immunity, and provid theoretical data for preventing graft-vers-host disease (GVHD) in stem cell transplantation therapy. The mononuclear cells from human peripheral blood were incubated with IL-2, Con A and Lipostin (LP) for 72 hours. The KIR expressing cells, P58.1(+) and P58.2(+) cells, were analyzed by flow cytometry. The results showed that the percentages of CD3(+), CD4(+), CD8(+), CD16(+)CD56(+), P58.1(+) and P58.2(+) cells were greatly increased after treated with IL-2, Con A and LP, separately or in combination, and the percentages of above cells in combined treatment groups were higher than those of single stimulated groups, especially the percentage of cells in the IL-2 + LP group was significantly higher than those in IL-2 and LP singly treated groups.

IN CONCLUSIONIL-2, Con A and LP possess the ability to induce the expression of KIR and stimulate proliferation of P58.1(+) and P58.2(+) cells while to activate the celluar immunity response, the expression of P58 gene may be regulated by the activation of cellular immunity.
