Immunodeficient animals are animal models that are suitable for medical research. Beige-Nude mice are deficient in both T lymphocytes and natual killer (NK) cells simultaneously. The T cell activity and NK cell activity are much lower in Beige-Nude mice. They were bred for cancer research at first. Researchers have studied the immunologic characteristics of Beige-Nude mice vastly and deeply since 1970s. So this expands its application in medical research.

Objective To analyze effectiveness evaluation of Salbutamol combined with budesonide suspension on acute attack of bronchial asthma.Methods150 patients with acute attack of bronchial asthma in hospital from October 2015 to October 2016 were selected,patients were divided into observation group and control group,every groups with 75 cases.Control group patients were given inhalation of salbutamol,observation group patients were given salbutamol combined with budesonide treatment,two groups patients effect were analyzed.ResultsThe total effective rate of the observation group (90.7%) was significantly higher than that in control group (65.4%) (P<0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups before treatment.The observation group was significantly better than the control group (P<0.05),cough and wheeze improvement time was significantly shorter than the control group (P<0.05).The observation group average dosage of prednisone was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionWith the implementation of salbutamol combined with budesonide suspension treatment can improve the effect of the treatment of acute attack of bronchial asthma.

Objective To investigate the correlation among HBV infection models,HBV Pre-S1 antigen and HBV DNA loads in serum and to provide evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis B.Methods Hepatitis B markers,HBV Pre-S1 antigen and HBV DNA loads in serum samples were detected simultaneously for 1037 cases.Results The positive rate of HBV Pre-S1 antigen was higher in HBsAg,HBeAg and HBcAb positive model than that in other models(P0.05).Conclusion The quantitative detection of HBV DNA is important for the prevention of HBV infection.The combination assay of serum HBV markers,Pre-S1 antigen and HBV DNA load was beneficial to the monitoring of disease condition of hepatitis B and to the improvement of therapeutic effect.

OBJECTIVETo explore the dynamic effects of Yinqiao detoxifcation oral liquid (YQD) on NK cell lysis in spleen and serum concentration of IFN-gamma in SCID mouse infected by influenza A virus FM1.

METHODThe mice were divided into six different groups randomly. Except normal control, other mice were intranasally instilled with 15 TCID of virus. Three dosage groups of YQD (5.0, 10.0, 20.0 g x kg(-1)) were respectively fed with YQD. Positive control group was administrated orally with 0.07 g x kg(-1) of ribavirin. Normal control and model group were fed with physiological saline. After 1, 3, 5 and 7 days' infection, spleens and serum were collected. Then the NK cell lysis was detected by LDH release kit and the concentration of IFN-gamma was examined by ELISA assay.

RESULTContents of IFN-gamma reached to peak value on the 3th day and until the 5th day. Later, the level of IFN-gamma returned to normal level. The variation tendency of activity of NK cell in spleen was according with that of IFN-gamma. But it reached the maximum value until the 5th day. The activity of NK cell lysis in three groups of YQD was well above that i n model group. In addition, therapeutic action of both 10.0 g x kg(-1) and 20.0 g x kg(-1) of YQD treatment groups was better than that of 5.0 g x kg(-1).

CONCLUSIONThe data showed that serum concentration of IFN-gamma and NK cell lysis were improved by YQD at different time, which was demonstrated YQD could perform well in immune system.

Liver failure is a syndrome of severe liver diseases commonly seen in clinical practice, and it has a high mortality rate and thus becomes one of the critical diseases in internal medicine. Massive hepatocyte death and the extent of hepatocyte death exceeding the liver’s regenerative capacity are considered the core events in the development and progression of liver failure, and direct injury and immune-mediated inflammatory injury are the two main factors in this process. An increasing number of evidence has shown that host immune response and inflammatory cascade play an important role in the pathogenesis of liver failure. This article reviews the mechanism of action of immunoregulation (congenital and adaptive) and inflammatory injury (inflammation inducers, receptor cells, and inflammatory mediators) in the process of hepatic failure, as well as the interactions between immune response and immune cells and between inflammatory response and inflammatory factors, in order to help understand the pathogenesis of liver failure and provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of liver failure and drug research and development.

Objective To explore the CT features of gastrointestinal tract diospyrobezoar and its complications,to improve the recognition. Methods The plain CT scan of 36 patients with gastrointestinal tract diospyrobezoar confirmed by gastroscope and surgery were analyzed retrospectively.Results The number and location of diospyrobezoar showed by CT were consistent with the results of gastroscope and surgery.There were 1 1 cases of stomach diospyrobezoar,1 9 cases of small intestine diospyrobezoar,and 6 cases of stomach and small intestine diospyrobezoar.32 cases were solitary lesion,and 4 cases were multiple lesions.A total of 41 diospyrobezoars were removed, most of which were wel-l defined ovoid mass.3 1 lesions presented mottled internal gas bubbles with high-density encapsulating wall.6 lesions showed mottled gas pattern without encapsulating wall.4 lesions showed uneven high density.Over time,1 lesion moved in the digestive tract and the boundary and density were changed.Complications:gastric and duodenal diospyrobezoar accompanied by gastric retention,which manifested as a significant expansion of the gastric cavity effusion.Small intestine diospyrobezoar was accompanied by small bowel obstruction,which showed that the proximal intestinal tube of the diospyrobezoar was obviously dilated,and the distal intestine was suddenly collapsed.There was a focal transition zone between them.Conclusion Gastrointestinal tract diospyrobezoar has a variety of CT manifestations,of which oval shape,clear boundary,uneven mass composed of gas and soft tissue are common.

Objective:To construct a value evaluation framework for high-value medical consumables,providing a guidance for medical insurance access and hospital access management scenarios in China.Methods:It conducted literature review,qualitative in-terviews and quantitative surveys.A total of 12 experts were invited for qualitative interviews,while 100 experts from four fields of health technology assessment,medical insurance,hospital management,and clinical practice participated in the quantitative survey.Through those process,it generated the composition of the value framework and the scoring of each item.Differences in ratings be-tween different scenarios and experts were analyzed through chi-square tests.The recommendation level for each item was graded.Re-sults:A comprehensive value evaluation framework for high-value medical consumables was established,which included 6 core dimen-sions,comprised 16 items for secondary dimensions and 50 items for tertiary dimensions.It showed significant differences between the medical insurance access and hospital access scenarios,as well as among different fields of experts in the same scenario.furthermore,grading the items in two scenarios.The medical insurance access scenario had 8 highly recommended items,and the hospital access scenario had 24 highly recommended items.Conclusion:Value evaluation should encourage multi-dimensional assessments and inter-disciplinary participation,continually improving the management of high-value medical consumables in medical insurance and hospital access.
