Congenital cystic lung lesions are a group of congenital lung diseases with low incidence. These include congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation,bronchogenic cyst,congenital lobar emphysema and pulmonary sequestration. These malformations occur during the period of lung development stimulated by various factors. Manifestations of the diseases are very similar,but the pathogenesis and pathology are very different. Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations are thought to be the results of the cessation of bronchiolar maturation with overgrowth of mesenchymal elements and without development of alveoli. There are 5 pathological types of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations. Bronchogenic cysts are the results of abnormal budding from a segment of the tracheobronchial tree during embryo development,and the buds with no communication with normal tracheobronchial tree. Congenital lobar emphysema is a term reserved for hyperinflation of alveoli from idiopathic reasons or extrinsic compression,as well as pathological changes of the bronchial wall. Pulmonary sequestrations account for parts of nonfunctioning lung tissue that mostly do not communicate with normal bronchoalveolar tree and vascularized by a systemic artery,two types(intralobar and extralobar sequestration)are described.

Objective To study curative efficacy of tanreqing injection in treatment of severe craniocerebral injury in patients with pulmonary infection pathogen and its effects on Inflammatory factor.Methods80 patients of severe craniocerebral injury who received therapy from April 2012 to April 2015 in our hospital were selected as research objects.There were pulmonary wheezing, wheezing, shortness of breath, fever and other clinical symptoms.According to draw method,those patients were divided into the experimental group (n=40) and the control group (n=40).Two groups were given drug sensitivity test to give the corresponding antibacterial drugs, treatment for 2 weeks, The control group was treated with routine treatment, while the experimental group was on the basis of the control group, treated with tanreqing injection, every time 30ml, add 5% glucose Injection 250ml after mixing, intravenous infusion, 1 times a day.Then the curative effect, body temperature, pulmonary rales disappeared, cough disappeared time, the infection rate of pathogenic bacteria, neutrophils, white blood cell count, procalcitonin, high sensitivity C reactive protein recovery time, interleukin-6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) level of two groups were compared.ResultsAfter treatment, the total effective rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group[95.00%(38/40) vs 70.00%(28/40)] (P<0.05);Body temperature, pulmonary rales disappeared, cough and expectoration disappeared time was significantly shorter than the control group[(4.90±1.02)d vs (9.06±2.16)d,(6.02±1.21)d vs (10.85±2.37)d,(5.79±1.03)d vs (9.65±1.68)d](P<0.05);The positive rate of pathogenic bacteria was significantly lower than the control group[5.00%(2/40)vs 47.50%(19/40)](P<0.05);The recovery time of neutrophil, white blood cell count, procalcitonin and high sensitive C reactive protein was significantly shorter than the control group[(6.10±1.20)d vs (9.06±1.68)d,(4.72±0.97)d vs (7.34±1.23)d,(7.67±1.26)d vs (11.93±1.57)d,(7.21±1.02)d vs (11.29±1.73)d](P<0.05);IL-6、TNF-α level was significantly lower than the control group[(85.91±9.03)ng/L vs (102.08±10.42)ng/L,(17.38±1.01)ng/L vs (24.05±1.37)ng/L] (P<0.05).ConclusionTanreqing injection is well for severe craniocerebral injury,which can improve the clinical symptoms, protect the brain tissue, significantly reduce the pathogenic bacteria of pulmonary infection, and regulate the expression of inflammatory factors.

Microenviroment hypoxia is one of the common phenomenon in cancer,studies have indiacat-ed that hypoxia induces genetic instability via activating many DNA danlage-repair signal pathways,which asso-ciates with tumor invasion and resistance and chemi-radiotherapy resistivity.Here,we overview three main DNA damage-repair pathways:mismatch repair,homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining,and how hypoxia influences their mechanisms.

Objective To study the regulatory role of chemerin in infant with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pneumonia by investigating the level of serum chemerin,pro-inlfammatory cytokine (TNF-α, IL-17), and anti-inlfammatory cytokine (IL-10, TGF-β). Methods The serum level of chemerin,TNF-α,IL-1,IL-10,TGF-βwere tested in 82 RSV pneumonia inpatients (17 severe RSV pneumonia cases,65 mild cases) and 40 controls by ELISA and the severity of the RSV pneumonia was evaluated using a scoring system. Results The serum level of chemerin of RSV pneumonia cases were (610.45±106.63pg/ml) which were signiifcantly higher than the control(337.24±43.37 pg/ml). Chemerin level of severe RSV pneumonia group is signiifcantly higher than mild cases as well [(786.62±82.59 pg/ml)vs (539.98±65.86 pg/ml)P<0.01 ]. Signiifcant positive correlations were found be-tween serum chemerin level and TNF-α,IL-17 level (r=0.81,r=0.61;P<0.01) while the serum level of chemerin is negatively correlated with IL-10, TGF-β(r=-0.80,r=-0.75;P<0.01). Conclusions The level of chemerin increased in RSV pneumonia patients,and related to clinical severity after RSV infection. These results indicate that chemerin may play an important role in the pathogenesis of RSV pneumonia and to the severity of the infection.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of different initial doses of nebulized budesonide inhalation (BI) in infants and young children with moderate to severe asthma exacerbations.Methods A multi-center,parallel controlled clinical trial was performed during Sep 2008 to Apr 2010 in three hospitals,which were Department of Pediatrics,Shanghai Jiaotong University Affiliated Shanghai First People's Hospital,Department of Pediatrics,Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine Affiliated Xinhua Hospital,and Department of Respiratory,Fudan University Affiliated Children's Hospital.One hundred and fifty children aged 6 to 36 month with moderate to severe asthma exacerbations were randomly divided into two groups.The high-starting-dose group was treated with a dose of 1 mg nebulized BI every 8 h for 2 days,while the conventional-starting-dose group was treated with a dose of 0.5 mg cvcry 8 h for 4 days.The terbutaline sulfate aerosol liquid was administered with a dose of 2.5 mg each time as needed.The primary outcome measures were severity scores,which were assessed at admission (0 h),and 8 h,16 h,24 h,48 h,72 h after treatment separately.The secondary outcome measures included the use of β2 receptor agonist,the systemic use of corticosteroids,average length of hospital stay and total cost.The data was analyzed with SPSS 13.0.Results (1) The clinical severity scores were significantly decreased at all time points after treatment in both groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with conventional starting-dose of BI,high starting-dose of 3.25 ± 1.82,P ＜ 0.01).(2) The terbutaline doses and the systemic corticosteroids do-ses were significantly reduced in high-starting-dose group compared with conventional-starting-dose group [(16.27 ± 12.99) mg vs (22.90 ± 18.27) mg,P ＜ 0.05 ; (4.54 ± 18.18) mg vs (11.16 ± 21.34) mg,P ＜ 0.05).The average length of hospital stay and the total cost of the two groups showed no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).(3) There were no side effects associated with BI.Conclusion Compared with conventional treatment,high-starting-dose of BI can control symptoms fast and reduce the use of systemic corticosteroid without any side effects.BI improved symptoms more quickly at 8 h (2.87 ± 1.60 vs 4.48 ± 2.24,P ＜ 0.01) and 16 h (2.48 ± 1.56 vs

Objective To investigate the application value of free plasma metanephrines metanephrine(MN) and normetanephrine (NM) measured with enzyme immunoassay (EIA), NM in diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Methods Histologically confirmed pheochromocytomas (n=30) and control patients with hypertension (n=51) were enrolled in the study. Blood tests for free plasma metanephrines(MN and NM) were performed with a commercially available EIA kit and the results were compared with [3] I-metaiedobenzyl guanidine (MIBG) whole body scan findings. Results The whole body scan was positive in all pheochromocytoma patients and negative in 15 control patients with 100% accuracy. The median values in the 2 groups were 59.3 ng/L and 33.7 ng/L (Z=-2. 440, P<0.05) for MN, 652.0 ng/L and 36. 3 ng/L (Z=-6.699, P<0.001) for NM, with 96. 7% (29/30) sensitivity, 86. 3% (44/51)specificity and 90.1% (73/81) accuracy for their combination ( either or both positive). There was no significantly statistical difference when compared with 13I-MIBG whole body scan findings (100. 0% ,P >0. 05). Conclusion The results show that the EIA method may be eligible as an alternative to HPLC for plasma metanephrines determination in the identification of pheochromocytoma.
