Aim Tostudytheinfluencesofsulfated polysaccharides ( SPPM60-D) on the regulation of free calcium concentration ( [ Ca2+] i ) of T lymphocytes of mice in vitro and explore the mechanisms involved. Methods Polysaccharides(PPM60)wereextracted from masson pine pollen with hot water and 60% etha-nol. PPM60-D was separated and purified from PPM60 with Sephacryl S-400HR. Sulfated polysaccharides ( SPPM60-D ) were derivated by chlorosulfonic acid-pyridine method and the [ Ca2+] i of T lymphocytes were measured by fluorescence spectrophotometer. IL-2 and IL-4 were measured by ELISA kits. Results ConAandSPPM60-Dcouldincrease[Ca2+]iinT lymphocytes by 211. 5% and 201. 8% respectively ( P<0. 01). 2-APB, LY294002, U73122 and verapamil rather than TAK-242 could significantly inhibit the in-crease of [ Ca2+] i induced by SPPM60-D. SPPM60-D could significantly increase the level of IL-2 and IL-4 in supernatant ( P <0. 01 ) . 2-APB rather than TAK-242 could significantly inhibit the increase of cyto-kines.Conclusion ItisspeculatedthatSPPM60-D could increase [ Ca2+ ] i via TCR/CD3-PI3K-PLC-IP3 R-Ca2+ signal pathway through TCD/CD3 receptor in T lymphocytes so that it could improve the level of IL-2 and IL-4 in supernatant in T lymphocytes.

Objective To analyze the imaging and histopathologic features of extra-plural solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) and to improve the diagnose diagnostic ability.Methods The images and pathologic features of 32 SFT cases confirmed by pathology were retrospectively reviewed.Results Of 32 SFT cases, there were 5 cases in the head, 3 cases in the orbit, 1 case in the nasal sinuses, 1 case in the bronchus, 2 cases in the stomach,1 case in the pancreas, 3 cases in the kidney, 3 cases in the retroperitoneum, 4 cases in the pelvic cavity, 6 cases in the soft tissues, 3 cases near the vertebra.6 cases were malignant,8 cases were borderline,18 cases were benign.The tumors located in abdominal and pelvic tumors were larger,the average diameter of the tumors was 13.6 cm.The volumes of the other tumors were smaller, the average diameter was 4.2 cm.The majority of the tumors showed clear boundary, smooth edge or lobulated soft tissue mass, partial necrosis, rare cystic degeneration and calcification.MR images showed hypo to isointensity on T1WI and hyper to isointensity on T2WI.After enhanced enhancement, multiple small circuitous vessels could be found in or around the mass.The tumor showed slightly enhanced in the arterial phase and moderately to obviously heterogeneously enhancement in the venous phase.In addition, part of the tumors can could be seen positive-negative signal changes.The positive expression rate of immunohistochemical indexes were: CD34 100%, CD99 68.8%, Bcl-2 62.5%, Vimentin 46.9%, Ki-67>5% 43.8% respectively.

Objective To observe the relationship between clinical medication and the prognosis in elderly community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).Methods A prospective randomized controlled single-blind study in Tianjin Hospital Internal Medicine.A total of 160 elderly patients with CAP were selected from January 2011 and January 2015.According to the computer,patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,80 cases in each group.Treatment group adopted routine treatment and moderate amount of glucocorticoids in combination with a low-dose of diuretic,and the control group only received routine treatment.In two groups of patients,we observed the initial treatment effect,change in pulse oxygen saturation,the rate of invasive test,the incidence of adverse reactions,mortality rate,total hospital stay,etc.Results Compared with control group,the initial treatment was better,the improvement rate in SPO2 was increased,and the rate of invasive test was decreased in treatment group 72 hours after treatment (x2 =6.234,3.906 and 7.059,respectively,P=0.013,0.048 and 0.008).After the overall prognosis and outcome analysis,compared with control group,the percentage of patients transferred to the intensive care unit,the mortality rate was decreased (x2=4.783 and 4.737,P=0.029 and 0.030),hospitalization cost was declined,and the total hospital stay was shorted (x2 =-72.087 and-5.127,both P＜0.0001).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions such as electrolyte disorder and mental disorder(both P＞0.05).Conclusions Corticosteroids in combination with a low-dose of diuretic for the auxiliary treatment of elderly CAP can reduce the mortality rate,decrease the rate of invasive test,and shorten the duration of hospitalization,with no obvious increase of adverse events,and it help to improve the prognosis of CAP patients.

Objective To explore the protective effect and mechanism of astaxanthin (AST) on the acute kidney injury induced by iohexol in rats.Method Thirty rats were randomly divided into five groups:control group (Ctrl);iohexol group (CM);astaxanthin group (AST,100 mg/kg),low astaxanthin dose group (LAST+CM,50 mg/kg) and high astaxanthin dose group (HAST+CM,100 mg/kg),6 in each group.The rats in AST,LAST+CM,HAST+CM groups were administrated with AST by oral gavages using an intubation needle for 10 consecutive days.The rats in Ctrl and CM groups rats in Ctrl,CM groups were given with dissolvant instead in equal volume.Except for the Ctrl and AST groups,on day 8,rats were given indomethacin,L-NAME and iohexol in their femoral vein under chloral hydrate anesthesia to build a contrast induced-nephropathy (CIN) model.At the end of the experiment (72 h after CIN induction),all rats were sacrificed.The Scr level,BUN level,renal histology,renal tissue activities in superoxide dismutase (SOD),catalase (CAT),glutathione peroxidase (GPx),Glutathione (GSH) and level of malondialdehyde (MDA) were performed.Apoptosis of renal cells was detected by Bcl-2,Bax and Caspase-3 p17 with Western blot.Results Compared with Ctrl group,the levels of Scr,BUN were significantly increased in CM group (all P ＜ 0.01);while compared with CM group,the indicators were decreased in treatment groups (P ＜ 0.01).Renal tubular structure damage,medulla congestion,loss of brush border,vacuolar degeneration,apoptosis and proteinaceous casts were observed in the CM group,and the renal injury scores were higher compared with Ctrl group (P ＜ 0.05),however,administrated with AST could significantly improve the changes (P ＜ 0.05).Oxidative stress indicators showed that MDA level were increased while SOD,GPx,GSH activities were significantly decreased at CM group (all P ＜ 0.05),and the indicators above were ameliorated in treatment groups (all P ＜ 0.05).Western blot showed that the expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated while the Bax,Caspase 3 p17 was up-regulated respectively at CM group (P ＜ 0.05),while the HAST+CM group could prevent the changes.Conclusions Iohexol can results in oxidative stress increased in kidney,which activate Caspase-3 p17 signal path,down-regulated Bcl-2 expression,up-regulated Bax expression respectively,and lead to cell apoptosis.AST can ameliorate the changes,especially with high AST dose,which suggest that the possible protection mechanism is by ameliorating oxidative stress and inhibiting apoptosis pathways.

Objective To study the current situation of pediatric emergency department of primary hospitals in Guangdong province,in order to provide evidence for the development of appropriate pediatric emergency skill.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted in primary hospitals of Guangdong province by face to face and mail.The questionnaire was self-designed,including the hospital area and level set,the key equipment in pediatric emergency,common symptoms and diseases,the need for pediatric specialty in local medical colleges.Results60 questionnaires were released and 38(63.3％) were available,which were from 14 different cities of Guangdong province.Among the 38 hospitals,16 hospitals(42.1％) had no independent pediatric emergency;24 hospitals(63.2％) had no blood gas analyzer;23 hospitals(60.5％) without a defibrillator;22 hospitals(57.9％) had no bedside ultrasound,neonatal warm or warm box;17 hospitals(44.7％) had no bedside X-ray,infusion pump;13 hospitals(34.2％) without gastric lavage machine;12 hospitals(31.6％) without ventilator;8 hospitals(21.1％) without the monitor.Top five symptoms were fever,cough,vomiting,diarrhea,convulsion.The top five diseases were pneumonia,fever of unknown,acute gastroenteritis,hand-foot-mouth disease,convulsion of unknown.Only 5 hospitals (13.2％) thought there was no need for pediatric specialty in local medical colleges.Conclusion Shortages of the pediatric emergency equipments and specialists are very severe in primary hospitals,in order to improve the status of pediatric emergency,some ways can be explored:the construction of grassroots pediatric emergency should be speeded up;a grades regional system for child emergency transport should be improved as soon as possible;the appropriate pediatric emergency skills and training for primary hospitals should be explored and compiled into instructions;pediatric emergency health education could be implemented in child health care.

Objective The expression of TGF-β1 and IL-10 in the grafts of inbred mice with rejection of heart transplantation were studied and the interaction of them in the rejection of heart transplantation in inbred mice investigated.Methods Allografts were divided into 2 groups:control group (n =70),cyclosporin A-treated group (CsA group,n =70).Hearts from inbred BABL/c mice were transplanted into a cervical location in the other recipients and the survival time of the allografts was observed.The local expression of TGF-β1 and IL-10 was detected at day 1,3,7,11,14,21 by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCT) respectively.Results The survival time of the allografts was (20.3 ± 1.7) days in control group,and(32.2 t 3.4) days in CsA group (P ＜ 0.01).The levels of the two cytokines expression were up-regulated in CsA group.The up-regulation of TGF-β1 was closely correlated with the survival of the grafts.Conclusion The expression and production of the two cytokines is up-regulated probably cause of administ ration of cyclosporin A,and favorite to the heart graft survival,and action of these two cytokines are probably interrelated.
