Objectives To evaluate the relationship between the expression of B7-1 in liver tissue and the effect of interferon- alpha(α- IFN) treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB).Methods The expression of B7 -1in liver biopsy specimens from 68 CHB patients was studied with immunohistochemistry before α-IFN treatment.Results B7-1 was expressed in 45(66.2%) liver tissues among 68 patients with CHB,but none in 5 normal controls.The total response ratio of α- IFN in patients with B7-1 positive was 66.7%(30/45),which was significantly higherthan 39.1%(9/23)in the patients with B7-1 negative(x2 =7.20,P <0.01).B7-1 expression was closely corelat-ed with the histological activity grade(HAI) and serum alanine transaminase(ALT) level.Conclusions The level of B7-1 expression in liver tissue may be regarded as an effective parameter for predicting α-IFN response in patients with CHB.

A solid-phase radioimmunoassay (RIA) method was developed for detection of HBsAg. Its reprodu-cibility. sensitivity and specificity were evaluated, and these results were compared with the Abbott kit (AUSRIA).Horse anti-HBs was used both for coating solid phase and iodination. Normal horse serum was applied in the labelled antiserum to prevent the non-specific reaction between different species of animal sera.The cutoff was 2.21? negative control value. The factor 2.21 was derived from the mean S/N value and its 3 SD of 553 normal sera, while the factor of AUSRIA was 2.1. The lowest detectable amount of HBsAg by our RIA method was 4. 1ng/ml, while that by AUSRIA 2. 1ng/ml, which was about 2 times more sensitive than our system.The prevalence of HBsAg in normal population detected by this RIA ranged from 12.9 to 17.7%. that in the patients with acute viral hepatitis was 60.6%. and in chronic viral hepatitis patients 89.9%.As hepatitis B virus infection is quite common in our country, it is important and urgent to use RIA widely to detect HBsAg carrier in the clinical diagnosis, selection of donors and epidemiological investigation.

Objective To study the electrolyte status of 50 infants with severe pneumonia. Method By means of retrospective way to analyze the electrolyte level of blood sample from 50 young children. Results The sequences of electrolyte disturbances in the 50 young children with severe pneumonia were hyponatremia(34%), hypokalemia(30%),hypocalcemia(18%),hypochloremia(16%),hypernatremia(12%),and heperkalemia(10%). Conclusion Young children with severe pneumonia often have electrolyte disturbances of various kinds at the same time; electrolyte evaluations of blood samples from such young children should be done routinely, so that problems can be found early, and correcting measures be taken in time.

Objective To compare the effect of carvedilol and motoprolol on high altitude chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). Methods Ninety patients with high altitude chronic CHF were divided into three groups randomly:Twenty patients in the regular treatment group treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) ,diuretics and digoxin; motoprolol (50 mg twice daily) was given in the motoprolol group( 34cases) additional to regular treatment; carvedilol (25 mg twice daily) was given in the carvedilol group(36cases ) additional to regular treatment. All the patients were followed up for six months and measured the changes of cardiac function by echocardiography. Results Left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) was ( 57. 3 ± 6. 5 ) mm and (57.2 ± 6. 9) mm in the carvedilol group and the motoprolol group respectively, and left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD) was (46. 6 ± 7.0) mm and (44. 0 ± 6. 9 ) mm in the carvedilol group and the motoprolol group respectively, which were all significantly smaller than that in the regular treatment group ([64.7 ±9. 1]mm and [53.4 ±9.8]mm for LVEDD and LVESD,respectively) (Ps <0.05). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the carvedilol group and the motoprolol group ( [47.5 ± 8. 1] % and [52. 9 ±8.5] % ,respectively) was higher than that in regular treatment group( [42. 8 ±9. 2]% ) (Ps <0. 05).The improvement of LVEF in the carvedilol group was better than that in the motoprolol group (P < 0. 05 ). One case died in the motoprolol group and no death in the carvedilol group,4 cases died in the regular treatment group,the mortality in the motoprolol group and the carvedilol group was significantly lower than that in the regular treatment group. Conclusion Carvedilol and motoprolol significantly improved cardiac function in high latitude CHF patients,and the effect of Carvedilol is slightly better than that of motoprolol.

Objective:To investigate the effects of three herb extracts on cell proliferation and collagen synthesis in cultured hu-man dermal fibroblasts. Methods:The human dermal fibroblasts were isolated and cultured with tissue explant culture technique. Im-munohistochemical staining was performed to observe vimentin in fibroblasts. The proliferation of fibroblasts was determined by MTT as-say. Hydroxyproline in the cultural medium was determined by a digestion method. Results:The cells were typical fibroblasts, and the immunohistochemistry staining of vimentin in the cells was positive. The three herb extracts could promote the proliferation of the fibro-blasts at appropriate concentrations in a time-dependent manner. After the 72-hour culture in the medium, 0. 312 5-5. 000 0 mg·ml-1 Aloe vera gel extract, 0. 156 3-2. 500 0 mg·ml-1 Bletilla striata extract and 0. 075 0 mg·ml-1 salvianolate showed significant effects on the proliferation of fibroblasts (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01 vs the blank group). Compared with that in the blank group, the amount of hydroxyproline in the three herb extracts cultural medium was also increased (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). The effect of salvianolate on the cell proliferation was closely related with time and concentration, and the high concentration group could inhibit the growth of fibroblasts as the extension of time. Conclusion:Aloe vera gel extract, bletilla striata extract and salvianolate can promote the proliferation of fi-broblasts and the production of hydroxyproline, which may contribute to the wound healing.

Objective:To optimize the formula of amlexanox nasal thermosensitive gel spray and establish the quality control meth-od. Methods:Amlexanox nasal thermosensitive gel spray was prepared by a cold dissolving method, and poloxamer 407 (P407) and poloxamer 188 (P188) were used as the carrier materials. Central composite design-response surface methodology was used to optimize the formula with the amount of P407 and P188 as the influencing factors and the gel temperature and the viscosity before gelling as the indices. The content of amlexanox was determined by HPLC. According to Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2010 edition), the other indices of the preparation such as appearance, pH, viscosity, content, total spray times of each bottle and the content of each spray were deter-mined as well. Results:The optimum ratio of P407 and P188 was 17. 0% and 0. 9%,respectively . The average recovery of amlexanox was 98. 8% and RSD was 1. 7%(n=9). The quality of 3 batches of amlexanox nasal thermosensitive gel spray met the related require-ments. Conclusion:The formula and preparation process of amlexanox nasal thermosensitive gel spray are reasonable and feasible with controllable quality, which is worthy of further research.
