Objective To explore the clinical effect of probiotics combined with saline enema in the treatment of infantile diarrhea and its effect on serum inflammatory factors.Methods 186 cases of infantile diarrhea were selected,they were randomly divided into three groups according to the random number table method:probiotics group,montmorillonite group and control group.Patients in probiotics group were administered with clostridium butyricum combined with saline enema,and patients in the montmorillonite group were treated by montmorillonite combined with saline enema,and the control group was given routine treatment.Then,the clinical symptom relief time,total effective rate,serum inflammatory factor concentration and adverse reaction were observed and compared.Results The total effective rate of the probiotics group was 98.39%,and that of the montmorillonite group was 96.77%,both of which were significantly better than 80.65% of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(χ2 =11.408,P =0.000;χ2 =8.432,P =0.018).After treatment,the serum levels of inflammatory factor tumor necrosis factor -α(TNF -α)in the probiotics group,montmorillonite group,control group were (8.30 ±2.33)pg/mL,(8.54 ± 2.47)pg/mL,(12.49 ±3.44)pg/mL,and the difference was statistically significant(F =5.120,P =0.014),also, the serum levels of interleukin -6(IL -6)in the three groups were (10.08 ±5.46)pg/mL,(11.24 ±5.84)pg/mL, (14.02 ±5.97)pg/mL,the difference was statistically significant(F =34.015,P =0.000).There were 2 cases of constipation in the montmorillonite group,the incidence rate was 3.23%,and there was no adverse reaction in the other two groups.Conclusion The effect of probiotics combined with saline enema in the treatment of infantile diarrhea is similar to that of montmorillonite,which can promote the children to alleviate the symptoms,shorten the length of hospital stay,reduce inflammation,and has no adverse reactions such as constipation,it is worth to be recom-mended widely for clinical application.

Objective The current study was to investigate the clinical and pathological features of macroscopic hematuria associated acute kideny injury (MH-AKI) in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and its associated prognostic factors.Methods We performed an analysis on the clinical and pathological features of biopsy-proven IgAN patients diagnosed during 2004 to August of 2007,who had experienced MH associated AKI.The patients enrolled in the study were followed up.The renal lesions were evaluated with Katafuchi pathological scores of IgAN.Results 5 patients with IgAN had experienced at least one episode of MH-AKI,accounting for 1.3% of IgAN diagnosed during the same period and 13.5% of IgAN patients with macroscopic hematuria.High proportion of tubules filled with red blood cell casts and tubular injury were demonstrated in all biopsy specimens.Renal function of 3 patients completely recovered within 14 days.One patient (patient 4) got quick recovery in the first month of the disease but completely recovered 418 days later.The other patients only had an incomplete recovery during the 20-month follow-up.The incompletely recovered one had relatively an older age,longer persistence of MH,more sclerotic glomeruli and a more severe tubule-interstitial damage.Conclusion AKI is commonly seen during episodes of MH in patients with IgAN.Not all patients with MH-AKI showed a complete recovery.Age,duration of MH,proportion of glomerular sclerosis and the severity of tubular necrosis might be the risk factors of an incomplete recovery of renal function.

We investigated the clinical and photographic characteristics of uremic lung and review the associated literature,so as to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic abilities of uremic lung.The clinical symptoms and signs together with the photographic characteristics of the patient who was diagnosed as uremic lung complicated with pulmonary infection and congestive heart failure in our division were analysed and the associated literature was reviewed.The patient was admitted for the complaint of cough,expectoration and dyspnea.He was diagnosed as chronic renal failure with pulmonary infection and congestive heart failure.The symptoms alleviated after adequate hemodialysis and antibiotic therapy.However,mild dyspnea remained with photographic examination still showing consolidation in the lungs.The diagnosis of uremic lung was established after the exclusion of pulmonary infections of other pathogens and tumor.After 8-month maintenance hemodialysis,the pulmonary lesions were thoroughly absorbed.Uremic lung is a common complication of end-stage renal failure.The diagnosis is established after the exclusion of cardiac pulmonary edema,pulmonary infections and tumors.Sufficient hemodialysis is the most adequate treatment for uremic lung.Abstract:SUMM ARY W e investigated the clinical and photographic characteristics of urem ic lung and review the associated literature,so as to improve the d iagnostic and therapeutic abilities of urem ic lung.The clinical symptoms and signs togetherwith the photographic characteristics of the patientwho was d iagnosed as ure-m ic lung complicated with pulmonary infection and congestive heart failure in our d ivision were analysed and the associated literature was reviewed.The patientwas adm itted for the complaint of cough,expecto-ration and dyspnea.He was d iagnosed as chronic renal failure with pulmonary infection and congestive heart failure.The symptoms alleviated after adequate hemod ialysis and antibiotic therapy.However,m ild dyspnea remained with photographic exam ination still showing consolidation in the lungs.The d iagnosis of urem ic lung was established after the exclusion of pulmonary infections of other pathogens and tumor.Af-ter 8-month maintenance hemod ialysis,the pulmonary lesionswere thoroughly absorbed.Urem ic lung is a common complication of end-stage renal failure.The d iagnosis is established after the exclusion of card iac pulmonary edema,pulmonary infections and tumors.Sufficient hemod ialysis is the most adequate treat-ment for urem ic lung.

Objective To evaluate the effect of therapeutic touch on continuous positive airway pressure titration with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients.Methods Fortyeight patients diagnosed with OSAHS were randomly allocated to the therapeutic group and the control group with 24 patients in each group.Therapeutic touch was used in the therapeutic group before CPAP titration and the control group received usual care.Anxiety was measured post intervention with State-trait Anxiety Inventory(SAI) and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS).CPAP therapy satisfaction was also evaluated by VAS.Results Compared with the control group,those patients with therapeutic touch showed significant reductions in SAI scores,better sleep quality,and higher satisfaction with CPAP treatment.Conclusions Results suggest that 15-min of therapeutic touch pre CPAP titration night significantly reduced anxiety and improved sleep quality in patients with OSAHS.

OBJECTIVE:To approach the correlations of carbamazepine concentration in serum with clinical therapeutic effect,dosage,sex,age and body weight in epileptic children.METHODS:158 monitoring records for serum concentration of carbamazepine in children with epilepsy in our clinical pharmacy department were consulted retrospectively.Data such as serum concentration,sex and age were recorded into data base and were analyzed using SPSS 13.0 software.RESULTS:No significant correlation was noted between serum concentration of carbamazepine in epileptic children and sex.However,serum concentration of carbamazepine was closely correlated with clinical therapeutic effect,dosage,age and body weight.CONCLUSION:The individual difference in the metabolic processes of carbamazepine was concerned with age and body weight,so it's necessary to make individualized regime according to child's specific condition and monitoring results.

Objective To explore the mechanism of cerebral infarction caused by hyperhomocystinemia.Methods A hundred and nineteen paitents with acute cerebral infarction were chosen for case group.According to their levels of plasm total homocystine,they were divided into two groups: hyperhomocystinemia group and nonhyperhomocystinemia group.Forty patents without cerebrovascular disease,hepatophy,nephrosis and thyroid gland disease were chosen as control subjects.Plasm levels of total homocystine,serum levels of MDA and IL-8 were measured respectively,their correlations were also studied.Results Plasma levels of tHcy(?mol/L)and serum levels of MDA(nmol/L)and IL-8 (ng/ml)showed a significant increase in case group(19.97,4.41?0.84,0.23?0.08)in comparison with control subjects(9.83,3.24?0.64,0.12?0.08),t values were 8.139,8.021,7.767 respectively(P
