The common respiratory pathogens which can cause children kidney disease include bacteria,viru-ses,mycoplasma pneumonia,and so on,the major clinical manifestations of infectious renal injury are glomerular nephri-tis,nephrotic syndrome,interstitial nephritis and renal subclinical glomerulonephritis. Group A β - hemolytic streptococ-cus is the most common cause of acute glomerulonephritis in children(50% - 90% ). Mycoplasma pneumoniae infec-tions and respiratory tract virus - associated renal injury are the important part of kidney disease in children with acute non - streptococcal infection,and comparing with the streptococcal glomerulonephritis,the process and prognosis of my-coplasma and virus infection are relatively better,and the level of blood urine,hypertension and serum complement is lower,with shorter duration and rapid recovery,and the duration of edema and proteinuria in children with nephrotic syndrome is shorter as well. There may be similar genetics and immunology pathogenesis between virus - induced wheezing or asthma and kidney injury in children.

Objective To explore the biological characteristics and to compare the different regulation mechanisms of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)derived from both lupus(MRL/Ipr)and normal (C57BL/6)mice on T iymphoeytes in vitro. Methods MSCs from MRL/lpr and C57BL/6 mice bone marrow were isolated and cultured. The surface phenotypes were detected by flow cytometry(FCM). The morphologi- cal changes of MSCs were evaluated in primary and passage cultures. The growth curves were assayed. CD3~+T lymphocytes from spleen of C57BL/6 mice were isolated by nylon wool columns and stimulated by ConA and co-cultured with or without the two strains of MSCs or supernatant for 72 h. The proliferation of T cells stained by CFSE and activation of T cells were detected. The apoptosis was assessed by now cytometry using Annexin V/PI. Results The growth of lupus MSCs was faster than normal controls(P

Objective To investigate the effect of MT-1 and MT-2 in liver damage in chronic inorganic arsenate exposure mice and to explore the mechanism of arsenic-induced liver damage. Methods The male Kunming mice were randomly divided into control and exposed groups. The control group was given ordinary feed and tap water. The exposed group was given ordinary feed and 300 mg/L of sodium arsenite solution by drinking water. After 10 months of treatment, the activity of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST) and globulin (Glb) content were determined. The total RNA was extracted by the TRIzol-phenol-chlorofor-method from the liver tissue. The quantity of the RNA was determined by spectrophotometry and its purity was judged at a ratio of A260/A280. Then real-time PCR(RT-PCR) was used to measure the mRNA expression of MT-1 and MT-2. Results Compared with the control group, serum ALT, AST activity and Glb content were higher and the MT-1 and MT-2 mRNA content was lower in the exposed group (P

Objective To investigate the incidence and structure of mental disability in children with movement disorders. Methods 157 children with movement disorders (103 with cerebral palsy and 54 with mental retardation) were assessed with Gesell developmental schedules,and mental disability was identified as development quotient (DQ)<75. Results The incidence of intelligence disability was 92.2% in children with cerebral palsy, including 91.2% in spastic type, and 100% in dyskinetic, mixed or dystonic type. The development of gross motor was retarded in children with spastic cerebral palsy, and gross and fine motor in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy, compared with those with mental retardation. Conclusion It is important to focus the mental development in children with movement disorders, especially the dyskinetic cerebral palsy. Gesell developmental schedules should be used carefully to assess the mental development in children with movement disorder.

Objective To investigate the infection status of hepatitis virus among the perinatal women in Nanjing.Methods 523 samples of perinatal women's serum were selected.The hepatitis virus markers were detected by the ELISA kit,the quantitive detection of HBV surface-antibody was detected by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.Results The positive rate of anti-HAV IgM was 0.19％,47 cases were HBV surface antigen-positive,accounted for 8.99％,183 cases were HBV surface antibody-positive,accounted for 35.00％,224 cases were all negative HBV markers,accounted for 42.83％.The quantitive detection of HBV surface-antibody in high concentration was significant higher than middle concentration and low concentration (all P ＜ 0.05).The positive rate of anti-HCV IgG was 1.34％,anti-HDV IgG was all negative.The positive rate of anti-HEV IgM was 0.57％.The positive rate of anti-HEV IgG was 24.28％.With the advance of age,the positive rate of anti-HEV IgG had an increasing trend,with significant difference among groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion There are important significances in the detection of hepatitis virus markers in pregnancy monitoring,it can improve the quality of the population.

To providing evidence about nitrogen adequate application of Platycodon grandiflorum, the pot culture experiment was conducted to study the effect of nitrogen on the growth, physiological metabolism and the quality of P. grandiflorum. The activity of NR, GS and SOD, POD and CAT were determined. And the nitrate and ammonium nitrogen content, photosynthetic characteristics, active components of P. grandiflorum were determined. The results showed that the nitrate nitrogen content and P. biomass reached its maximum value, when NH4(+)-N/NO3(-) -N was 0: 100, the activity of NR. The activity of GS was the highest at the NH4(+) -N/NO3(-) -N ratio of 25:75 and ammonium nitrogen content was the highest at 75:25. The activity of SOD decreased and then increased with the increasing of NO3(-) -N. At the NH4(+) -N/NO3(-) -N ratio of 25: 75, the activity of CAT had its maximum value and the content of MDA had the minimum value. At the same time, the content of platycodon D was the highest at this treatment. The studies had shown that different nitrogen forms and ratio had a significant effect on the characteristics of photosynthetic physiology, nitrogen metabolism and resistance adjustment, growth and the quality of P. grandiflorum. The NH4(+) -N/NO3(-) -N ratio of 25: 75 was a suitable ratio of nitrogen forms for the growth of P. Grandiflorum and accumulating the content of platycodon D.

Objective To explore the secretion of chemokine regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted(RANTES)influenced by the complex microenvironment in the peritoneal cavity of women with endometriosis and investigate chemotaxis of RANTES on the peritoneal monocytes.Methods The contact and non-contact co-culture systems including three target cells of ectopic tissue were established.The three target cells were endometrial stromal cells(ESC),human peritoneal mesothelial cells(HPMC)and monocytes.After collection of the supernatant of co-culture systems,the levels of RANTES were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(EUSA).Migration of U937 cell,a monocyte line,was detected by chemotaxis assay.Results ESC,HPMC,and U937 cultured alone secreted slight RANTES,(5.0±0.5),(4.0±0.3),and (254±40)ng/L. Compared with the culture of the target cell alone,the levels of RANTES in each co-culture system increased significantly,with the highest level in the contact culture system of E-H-U(2250±96)ng/L. RANTES secretion of non-contact co-culture of three cells were higher than contact co-culture of two cells(P＜0.01):U/E-H(912±93) vs E-H(50±40)ng/L,H/E-U(1201±93) vs E-U(243±192)ng/L,and E/H-U(1519±96) vs H-U(1251±73)ng/L. ESC,HPMC,and ESC-HPMC co-culture improved significantly migration of U937 cells [ number of cell migration respectively(6.0±0.3),(6.2±0.3),(10.0±0.3)×103,P＜0.01],which could be inhibited efficiently by anti-RANTES neutralizing antibody.Condusion The target cells in the peritoneal cavity of patients with endometriosis promote the secretion of RANTES in autocrine and paracrine manners and migration of monocytes.
