Objective To compare the molecular epidemic characteristics of human astrovirus (HAstV) between outpatient and hospitalized children with acute diarrhea,and to investigate the relationship between HAstY infection and diarrhea in children.Methods A total of 298 cases were randomly collected from hospitalized children from January 2008 to December 2010 in Children's Hospital of Fudan University,and 360 specimens were collected from outpatients with acute diarrhea from August 2010 to July 2011.Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect rotavirus (RV),human calicivirus (HuCV),HAstV and human adenovirus (HAdV).H AstV genotype was determined by gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis.Results Epidemiology of HAstV in hospitalized children was as follows:among the included 298 samples,HAstV was detected in 27.2％ (81/298) of the patients,compared with 33.9％ (42/124),33.8％ (25/74) and 14.0％ (14/100),respectively from 2008 to 2010.HAstV diarrhea occurred throughout the year and peaked in January,March,and April.95.1％ (77/81) of the infected children were 0-35 months old.All the episodes of HAstV were mixed with other diarrhea virus infection.Molecular epidemiology of HAstV in outpatient children with diarrhea was as follows:the overall incidence of HAstV was 1.9 ％ among the 360 cases (7/360).The seasonal distribution of HAstV's gastroenteritis showed a peak in November.All the outpatient children were 0-35 months old.Three cases were single infection with HAstV and the others were coinfection with RV (3 cases) or HAdV (1 case).All of the detected HAstV,either in inpatients or outpatients,belonged to HAstV-1.Conclusions The detection rate of HAstV in hospitalized children is significantly higher than that in outpatients.Most HAstV infections in hospitalized children are ascribed to nosocomial infections.Most episodes of HAstV infection were accompanied with other diarrhea viruses infection.HAstY single infection is seen in outpatient children while the detection rate is very low,implying that HAstV co-infection with other viruses plays a main role in diarrhea in most instances.

Objective To investigate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in diagnosis of renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma (eAML).Methods The CEUS features of 18 patients with 18 histopathologically proved renal eAMLs were retrospective analyzed using both of qualitative and quantitative approachs.Tumor conventional ultrasound and CEUS features were observed.The Sonoliver software was applied to perform quantitative analysis,which provided five parameters,including the maximum intensity (IMAX),rise time (RT),time to peak (TTP),mean transit time (mTT) and area under the curve (AUC).Results All of 18 lesions were pathological proved as eAML,among them,heterocyst was observed in 7 lesions,1 lesion had dissemination inter-kidney and vessel invasion,necrosis or cystic degeneration was found in 3 eAMLs.On conventional ultrasound,eAML showed hypoecho,isoecho and hyperecho were 14(77.8％),3(16.7％) and 1 (5.6％) respectively.Blood flow could be detected in 16 (88.9％) lesions.On CEUS,the characters of slow-in,synchronous-in,slow centripetal enhancement and entire enhancement were observed in 10 (55.6％),8 (44.4％),8 (44.4％) and 12 (55.6％) lesions,respectively.Most of eAMLs showed homogeneous enhancement (15/18,83.3％) and hyper-or iso-enhancement (16/18,88.8 ％) at peak time.The characters of fast-out,synchronous-out and slow out were observed in 8 (44.4％),2 (11.2％) and 8 (44.4％) cases,respectively.Pseudocapsule was detected in 5 (27.8％) lesions.The parameters of RT,TP and AUC for eAMLs were higher than that for renal cortex (P ＜ 0.05),while the parameters of IMAX and mTT had no significant statistical difference between eAMLs and renal cortex(P ＞0.05).Conclusions Qualitative and quantitative analysis of CEUS reflect the blood perfusion of eAMLs in different aspect,which offer some useful informations for the diagnosis of eAMLs.

To explore the anti-tumor proliferation activity of human interleukin-29 (hIL-29) variant and based on bioinformatics analyzed data of hIL-29, a mutant gene hIL-29(mut33,35) was amplified by site-directed mutagenesis and megaprimer PCR. The hIL-29(mut33,35) was inserted into an eukaryotic expression plasmid pPIC9K and successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115. A recombinant variant protein (rhIL-29(mut33,35)) was purified from the ferment supernatant of the engineering GS115. To observe the antineoplastic activity of the variant rhIL-29(mut33,35), a CCK-8 reagent was used to detect the anti-proliferation effect. Results show that it has strong anti-proliferation effect when acted on liver cancer cell BEL7402, colon cancer cell HCT8 and gastric cancer cell SGC7901. The inhibition ratios of the three tumor cells were (30.99 ± 1.58)%, (22.47 ± 1.37)% and (32.05 ± 2.02)%, respectively. In high dose group, the anti-proliferation effect of the rhIL-29(mut33,35) was stronger than that of wild type rhIL-29 (P < 0.01). This indicates the variant rhIL-29(mut33,35) has potential development value for medicine.

Objective to explore the safety and clinical efficacy of CT-guided radioactive seed implantation in treating recurrent rectum carcinoma. Methods CT-guided ~(125)I radioactive seed implantation was carried out in 20 patients with recurrent rectal carcinoma. Treatment planning system was used preoperatively to reconstruct three dimensional image of the tumor and to calculate the estimated seed number and distribution. The tumor matched peripheral dose (MPD) of the radioactive seeds was 80-130 Gy. The radioactivity of the seeds was 0.5-0.8 mCi/seed and the median implanted seeds was 48 (range 25-95) in number. CT scan was made immediately after the implantation to check the quality of the seeds. Change of pain score, tumor size and complications were recorded during the follow-up period. Results Twenty cases composed of 12 males and 8 females, aged 38 to 78 years (median age of 62 years). The follow-up period lasted 2-28 months. On an average, 3 to 7 days after the procedure patients experienced significant pain relief. CT scan performed 2 months after the procedure revealed that complete relief (CR) of the tumor was seen in 2 cases, partial relief (PR) in 13 cases, no change (NC) in 3 cases and progression (PD) in 2 cases. The total effective rate (CR + PR) was 75%. The median survival time was 18.8 months. The survival rate of 1 and 2 years was 75% and 25% respectively. Two cases died of tumor deterioration and 3 cases died of extensive metastases. No complications such as frequent micturation, pain on urination and hematuria occurred during the follow-up period. Conclusion CT-guided ~(125)I radioactive seed implantation is a safe and effective interventional treatment for recurrent rectal carcinoma with reliable short-term efficacy and excellent anti-pain effect.

Objective To discuss the clinical efficacy of CT-guided radioactive ~(125)I seed implantation treatment for unresectable pancreatic cancer. Methods Forty patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer were enrolled in this study, including 25 males and 15 females with an median age of 69 years (38-89 years). Treatment planning system (TPS) was used to reconstruct 3-dimensional images of pancreatic tumor and to define the quantity and distribution of ~(125)I seeds. The radioactivity of ~(125)I seeds was 0.5-0.8 mCi/seed. The seeds were implanted into pancreatic tumor under CT guidance at intervals of 1 cm and were kept away from vessels, pancreatic duct and other adjacent important organs. The tumor matched peripheral dose (MPD) was 60-140 Gy. The median amount of implanted ~(125)I seeds was 36 (18-68) in number. CT scan was performed immediately after the procedure to check the quality of the seeds. In addition, 10 patients received concurrent chemotherapy with arterial infusion of gemcitabin and 5-fluororacil (5-Fu) for 3 to 4 therapeutic courses. Results The median diameter of the tumors was 4.9 cm. The follow-up period was 2 to 28 months. After the treatment the refractory pain was significantly relieved (P < 0.05), and Karnofsky score was dramatically increased (P < 0.05). Most patients experienced relief of pain within 2-5 days after implantation. Two months after treatment, on CT scans the tumors showed completed relief (CR) in 3 cases, partial relief (PR) in 20 cases, no change (NC) in 14 cases and progression (PD) in 3 cases. The overall effective rate (CR+PR) was 57.5%. The median survival time for all patients was 10.2 months, while it was 14.7 months, 10.9 months and 7.1 months for patients in stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲ and stage IV respectively. For patients in stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲ and stage Ⅳ, the 6-month cumulative survival rate was 100%, 88% and 62% respectively, while the 12-month cumulative survival rate was 70% , 41% and 0% respectively. After the therapy, liver metastasis occurred in 5 cases and chemoembolization was employed. In three patients, immigration of four radioactive seeds to the liver was found. No serious complications, such as upper GI bleeding, pancreatitis, pancreatic fistula formation and radiation colitis, occurred during the follow-up period. Conclusion CT-guided radioactive ~(125)I seed implantation is a safe, effective and minimally-invasive brachytherapy for unresectable pancreatic cancer with reliable short-term efficacy. It has an excellent anti-pain effect. The curative results can be further improved when chemotherapy is employed together. However, its long-term efficacy needs to be observed.
