Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the vascular walls. As the essential mediators of inflammation, cytokines play important roles in atherosclerosis. Through widespread and penetrating studies, many cytokines, such as TNF-, IL-1, IL-6 and IFN-, are found involved in the development of atherosclerosis, as well as the related signal transduction pathways such as the NF- B pathway, the JNK / AP-1 pathway, and the JAK / STAT pathway. This implies that cytokines have a favorable perspective of clinical application. A few cytokines are identified as biomarkers, which help the early diagnosis of the disease and estimation of the risk of the clinical vascular events. Meanwhile, great progress has been made on the cytokine-targeted treatment of atherosclerosis, providing a novel therapy in the treatment of the disease.

Objective To investigate the incidence of the common respiratory viruses in children with respiratory tract infection and to compare the results among different ages and to analyze the relationship between wheezing of children and various viruses.Methods Nasopharyngeal secretions of 618 children with respiratory infection hospitalized were assayed for 7 respiratory viruses, including respiratory syncytial virus ,adenovirus, influenza A virus, influenza B virus, parainfluenza virus Ⅰ 、 Ⅱ、 Ⅲ.Results (1) A total of 166 cases, affected with viral etiology,were detected in 618 samples,and the total positive rate was 26.86％.The most common virus was RSV (17.96％), followed by PIV Ⅲ (5.99％), IFA (1.62％), ADV (0.81％), PIV Ⅰ (0.49％).Moreover, 1 case infected with RSV and PIVⅠ was included, with the positive rate 0.16％.(2)The positive rates were different in various ages, with 14d ～ ＜ 1-year 35.04％, 1 ～ ＜ 3-year 18.25％, 3 ～ ＜ 6-year 17.11％ and ≥ 6-year 9.26％.(3) There were differences of positive rate of viruses among different respiratory infectious diseases, and capillary bronchitis occupied the highest percentage(47.37％).(4)Among all the detected children, infants were more likely to whee in auscultation of lung, and RSV was the primary etiology.Conclusion RSV,which was the primary viral etiology in children with wheezing, was the most common virus leading to respiratory infection of children, followed by PIV Ⅲ.In the children with respiratory tract infection, the viral infection tends to occur in younger children.

Objective To explore the significance of hidden rheumatoid factor-IgM(HRF-IgM),anti-cyclic citullinated peptide antibodies(anti-CCP),antikeratin antibodies(AKA)combined test in the diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis(JIA).Methods The anti-CCP and rheumatoid factors(RF)were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)in serum samples from 60 children with JIA,27 systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE),18 kawaski diseases and 50 healthy children who were enrolled to serve as normal controls.Indirect immumofluorescence method was used to test AKA.Using the QAE-Sephadex-A50 to separate RF then tested HRF-IgM by ELISA.Results Positive anti-CCP were found in sera of 13 patients with JIA(21.7%)and specificity 96.8%.RF were found lower test both with the JIA and other groups(?2=0.17 P=0.68).The results of AKA were similar to the anti-CCP,they were both lower sensitivity and higher specificity.There were 65% sensitivity and 85.3% specificity in the HRF-IgM,and great significant difference in positive rate in JIA and other group(?2=40.22 P=0.0001).Conclusions JIA children in the studied series has a higher detection rate and value of HRF-IgM as compared to the other control groups.HRF-IgM,anti-CCP,AKA combined test in JIA can prove to be a valuable reference index for diagnosing suspected JIA children.

Objective To investigate curative effect thymoleptics with couple therapy for the patients with postpartum depression (PPD) Methods 27 patients first time diagnosed with PPD consistent with DSM-Ⅳwere randomly divided into study group and control group.The study group received regular thymoleptics with couple therapy,a control group were administered solo thymoleptics.Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HAMD-17) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS-10) and OLSON marriage quality questionnaire assessed the efficacy of each group before treatment and after 12 weeks treatment.Results (1) According to the total effective rate,there was no significantly differences in two groups after 12 weeks treatment from evaluation of HAMD-17>(P0.05),but complete remission of study group was higher than control group (78.6% ,46.2% ;P<0.05).(2) After 12 weeks treatment there were significantly differences in mean scores of HAMD-17 and EPDS-10 between two groups (P<0.05).The most decreased scores of HAMD-17 and EPDS-10 was found in the study group,and mean scores of each group was lower than pretherapy(P<0.05).(3) There was no significant difference on the scores of eight factors in OLSON marriage quality questionnaire between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05).After 12 weeks treatment the study group had higher score than control in seven factors in addition to sexual life factor (P<0.05).Conclusion Thymoleptics with couple therapy can improve the marriage quality and increase curative effects outstrip solo thymoleptics for the patients with postpartum depression.

Objective To investigate whether intrathecal administration of corticotrophin releasing factor(CRF) has an efficacy on visceral hypersensitivity in irritable bowel syndrome model rat.Methods Thirty rats were randomly divided into three groups(n=10 ).After establishment of irritable bowel syndrome rat model were intrathecal injected with CRF or preemptive peritoneal injected with CP-154526,which is inhibitor of CRF-1 receptor,and the control group to give saline.After experiment all rat with the method of rectal balloon distention,the perception thresholds and the number of abdominal withdrawal reflexes (AWR) of different balloon volume were observed.Results The perception threshold of intrathecal administration of CRF group was(0.62±0.10)ml and higher than other two groups [(0.52±0.09)ml,(0.56±0.08)ml;F=3.25,P＜0.05].At the same time,the number of AWR to the lower balloon content (1.0 ml) was(9.10±1.97)in intrathecal administration of CRF group slightly lower than other two groups[(14.4±1.71),(15.6±2.32);F=29.4,P＜0.01],but no difference was found to the higher balloon content (1.5 ml and 2.0 ml).Besides,the areas and OD value of c-fos positive neurons in cornu posterius medullae spinalis in group with intrathecal administration of CRF were significantly lower than other two groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Intrathecal administration of CRF can degrade the visceral hyperensitivity in irritable bowel syndrome model rat,and lower expression of c-fos in CNS is probably involved in the process.

Objective Analyzing NNT epidemiological characteristics and the influeutial factors in Guangdong province from 2001 to 2005 in order to formulate the strategies for elimination NNT.Methods To make descriptive study on the data collected from NNT surveillance system. Results 2832 cases were concentrated in the Pearl River Delta and the west of Guangdong.About 72.04% NNT cases occurred in the migrant children.Through analyzing the data of the year of 2004 and 2005,73.81% of migrant NNT cases occurred in the Pearl River Delta.The cases happened in the Pearl River Delta accounted for 90.18% of whole cases.Most of local cases occurred in the west of Guangdong,which accounted for 39.04% of local cases.The cases occurred all around the year.A seasonal peak of NNT was found from June to August.Most of the onset of disease were during 2～10 days after birth.There were a higher ratio of reported male cases to the female.The ratio was 2.08∶1.Most of the NNT cases were happened to the infants who delivered at home and most of the midmives who were responsible for delivery lacked of training.99.75% mothers did not kown or administe the tetanus toxoid vaccine. Conclusion The elimination of neonatal tetanus is a difficult task in Guangdong province.Publicity to the mass should be strenghtened.The cooperation between sectors should be conducted for NNT eliminodion.

Objective To clone the 5′ non-coding region (NCR) of human interferon-?-inducible protein 10(IP-10), and to identify the transcriptional activity of IP-10 promoter induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Methods Genomic DNA of lymphocytes was isolated from the human blood. With above DNA as the template, the 5'NCR of human IP-10 was amplified by nest polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Then, the IP-10 promoter was cloned into luciferase reporter vector, pGL3. The recombined vector was transfected into HUVEC, and then the activity of the luciferase was determined after the cells were stimulated by LPS. Results Human IP-10 promoter was obtained and the pGL3/IP-10 was successfully constructed. Moreover, the activity of luciferase driven by human IP-10 promoter was observed to obviously increase in the HUVEC stimulated by LPS. Conclusion We successfully cloned human IP-10 promoter, constructed luciferase reporter vector driven by the human IP-10 promoter, and confirmed that high transcriptional activity of human IP-10 promoter was induced by LPS in HUVEC. The results supplied an experimental base for the further study of the transcriptional regulation of human IP-10.
