Objective To investigate the significance of procalcitonin(PCT),C-reactive protein(CRP),white blood cell(WBC) and other inflammatory markers in the diagnosis of pediatric patients with HFMD.Methods 138 cases of pediatric patients with foot and mouth disease(study group)and 50 cases of healthy children(control group)were recruited in the study.Procalcitonin (PCT),white blood cell(WBC),neutrophil count(NC),lymphocyte count(Ly),immunoglobulins,C-reactive protein and other indi-cators were determined and compared.Results PCT,CRP,WBC,NC,Ly% and IgM levels were higher in study group than those in control group,the differences were all statistically significant(P <0.05 );IgG,IgA levels in control group were lower than that in control group,the differences were statistically significant(P <0.05).Conclusion PCT,WBC,NC,Ly,CRP and IgA,IgG,IgM can provide experimental evidence for diagnosis of children with hand foot and mouth disease.

Objective To explore the expression of c-met mRNA in nasopharyngeal carcinomas(NPC) and its relation with clinical biological behavior. Methods In situ hybridisation was used to detect mRNA expression of c-met in 15 cases NP and 55cases NPC. Results The positive rate of c-met mRNA in NP and NPC cells were were 13.3 %(2/15) and 61.8 %(34/55) respectively. The expression of c-met mRNA was significantly correlated with lymphnode metastasis, local invasion(basilar destroying) (P 0.05). Conclusions The abnormality expression of c-met gene expression was well correlated with the biological behavior of metastasis and invasion. The expression of c-met mRNA could serve as an important index to estimate the prognosis of NPC. c-met may be a new diagnostic/therapeutic targert of NPC.

Objective To investigate the clinical and renal pathologic features of isolated hematuria in children and the relationship between them. Methods A retrospective review of 251 cases of isolated hematuria undergone renal biopsy from 1995 to 2008 in our hospital were conducted to analyze their clinical manifestations and renal pathologic features. Results Among the pathologic changes, minor abnormalities was found in 93 cases (37.05%), normal biopsies in 62 cases (24.70%), IgA nephropathy (IgAN) in 52 cases (20.72%), thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN) in 17 cases(6.77%), mesangial proliferative giomerulonephritis(MsPGN) in 16 cases (6.37%), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in 5 cases (1.99%), focal proliferative glomerulonephritis (FPGN) in 5 cases (1.99%), capillary proliferative glomerulonephritis (EnPGN) in 1 case (0.40%). IgAN was more popular in gross hematuria group than that in microscopic hematuria group (31.88% vs 16.48%, P＜0.05). zcording to Haas classification, the ratio of class Ⅲ in two groups had no statistical significance (microscopic vs gross: 16.67% vs 4.55%, P＞0.05). In the 35 cases (102 cases were detected) with elevated urinary microalbuminuria, the proportion of IgAN Ⅲ was significantly higher than those cases without urinary microalbuminuria (14.28% vs 0%, P＜0.01). There were more FSGS and FPGN (total 20.00%) and less minor abnormalities (28.57%) in these cases as compared to the normal albuminuria cases (1.49% and 58.21%, all P＜0.01). Conclusion The main pathologic changes of isolated hematuria in children are minor abnormalities, normal and IgAN. IgAN is more popular in the cases with gross hematuria. Elevated urinary microalbuminuria may be an indicator of more serious pathologic changes in children with isolated hematuria.

Objectives:To explore the possibility of using experimental animal models as a new means for studying the pathogenesis and symptomatologic development of radiation-induced lung injury,and provide theoretical and experimental evidences for early prevention and treatment with the traditional Chinese medicine.Methods:80 female Wistar rats were divided randomly into the model group and control group with 40 rats in each group respectively.The rats in model group were anesthetized and fixed,and a 2cm?3cm area of the right lungs received 6mV X-ray radiation at 3Gy?2/w and a maximal 10/5w.Eight rats randomly selected from each group were sacrificed at the end of weeks of 3,5,8,12 and 26.Diagnostic techniques of TCM were employed to analyze symptomatological and developmental characteristics of TCM in radiation-induced lung injury during exposure by dynamic examination and comparison of living rats,gross lung samples and tissue sections.Results: Signs and symptoms including redness around nose and eyes,yellowish secretion,tachypnea,dry stool,lethargy,sluggishness, inactiveness were observed in model group in early stage of radiation exposure,which consistent with dominant heat in the interior and primordial qi exhaustion syndrome.Swollen lungs,bright redness on surface and red bleeding patches were observed in early stage of radiation;microscopic examination showed interstitial tissues,and readily visible congestion,hemorrhage and edema of pulmonary interstitial tissues,consistent with damaged blood collaterals by heat and blood escaping circulation syndrome.In the later stage of radiation exposure,the lungs showed dark appearance,apparent purple petechia,hard texture and poor elasticity.Microscopic examination showed remote hemorrhage foci,pulmonary capillary stasis or closure,and focal fibrotic clumps,consistent with obstruction of collaterals by blood stasis syndrome.No abnormal changes were observed in the control group.Conclusions:Animal experiments can redeem the clinical inadequacy of traditional inspection,auscultation and olfaction,interrogation and feeling pulse and palpation diagnostic techniques,modern pathological methods can be utilized to study symptomatology of traditional Chinese medicine.Symptomatological and developmental characteristics of'heat toxin impairment in radiation-induced lung injury characterized by heat damaging pulmonary collateral syndrome in early stage and pulmonary collateral stagnation syndrome in the advanced stage'can be revealed at living organism,gross lung sample and microscopic pulmonary tissue levels,thus providing theoretical basis for early prevention and treatment of radiation-induced lung injury using'cooling blood to remove apthogenic heat'.

AIM: To observe the activity and distribution of astrocytes and glial fibrillary acid protein(GFAP) after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). METHODS: The rat MCAO model was made by two-kidney, tow clip renovascular hypertensive rat stroke prone(RHRSP). Rats were killed and brain samples were collected at the end of 1,3,6 and 9 weeks after MCAO, respectively. The ultrastructure of astrocytes was determined at broder of infarct (A area); distant of infarct (B area) and opposite of hemisphere (C area) by electron microscope. The number and optical density of GFAP-positive cells were also observed. RESULTS: The astrocyte proliferation distributed in the whole brain after MCAO. The highest numbers of GFAP-positive cells were observed at A area, then B area. The lowest numbers of GFAP positive cells were found in C area. The time course of GFAP-positive cell change was that the highest number was observed at 1 week after MCAO, then decreased by time from 3, 6 weeks to 9 weeks. The optical density of GFAP-positive cells showed the same patterns. CONCLUSION: The correlation between astrocyte proliferation and tissue damage after MCAO can be estimated by GFAP expression. The astrocyte proliferation plays an important role in healing process after MCAO.

Objective To observe the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods Seventy patients (17 males,53 females,aged 20-65 years,ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ) undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized to receive either dexmedetomidine (group R,n=35) or dexamethasone (group D,n=35).The patients in the group R received 0.5 μg/kg bolus dose and maintenance dose at the rate of 0.5 μg·kg-1·h-1 of dexmedetomidine before intubation.The patients in the group D received 8 mg dexamethasone before intubation.The BP and HR were recorded at the following points: on arrival in the operating room (T1),before intubation (T2),5 minutes after intubation (T3),5 minutes after the beginning of the operation (T4),30 minutes after the beginning of the operation (T5),at the end of operation (T6) and 5 minutes after extubation (T7).The inhaling concentration of sevoflurane,extubation time,operation time and anesthesia time were recorded.The incidence of nausea and vomiting were recorded at 8,24,48 hours after operation.Results The incidence of nausea and vomiting at each point were similar between two groups.The HR at T2-T7 in group D was significantly lower.But MAP was similar between two groups.Conclusion 0.5 μg/kg bolus dose and maintenance dose at the rate of 0.5 μg·kg-1·h-1 of dexmedetomidine reduced the incidence of PONV in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy,similar to dexamethasone.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects and dose-effect relationships of different doses of the blood-cooling and blood flow-promoting drugs(凉血活血方) on radiation-induced lung injury of rat.Methods Seventy-two Wistar rats were randomly allocated into four groups: irradiation group(group A),small-dose group(group B,9 g?kg-1?d-1),middle-dose group(group C,18 g?kg-1?d-1) and high-dose group(group D,36 g?kg-1?d-1).All groups were repeatedly exposed to small dose of X-ray in the right hemi-thorax,and then the mice were sacrificed at different time points.The living animal features,the macro-changes of lung were observed,and pulmonary histopathological changes in all the groups were investigated,and the results of observation were compared.Results The symptoms of red patches around the nose and dry stool in groups C and D were less than those of groups A and B.After 26 weeks,lung coefficient in groups B,C and D was the same as that in group A,but right lung wet weights and lung coefficients at each time point in groups B,C and D were significantly lower than those in group A,and during 5th week,the right lung wet weights in groups C and D were obviously lower than the weight in group B(all P
