1.pp65 antigen and human cytomegalovirus infection
International Journal of Pediatrics 2017;44(7):478-482
HCMV infection can cause hepatopathy,pneumonia,diarrhea,thrombocytopenic purpura,and sensorineural hearing loss(SNHL),with high morbility and mortality.pp65(phosphoprotein 65),a major constitutive protein of virion,is closely associated with viral gene expression,immune evasion and cell metabolism.pp65 antigenemia level has positive correlation with clinical symptom,which can guide the preemptive therapyand improve prognosis,is considered as one of the golden standard methods of active cytomegalovirus infection.In this paper,the pp65 protein properties,pathogenesis,application in diagnosis and prevention are reviewed.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2013;(1):27-30
Objective To explore the feelings of the caregivers of dementia patients,and find the resource of the caregiver's abuse tendency to dementia patients in community.Methods The data of 10 caregivers were collected through deep interviews,and the Colaizzi analysis method was used to analyze the data.Results Through repeatedly reading,arranging,analysis,separation,and theme refining,five themes were drawn:lack of related knowledge and care skills,care tasks making caregivers tired,the economic burden,lack of social support,low sense of worth.Conclusions When concerning the problems caused by dementia patients,it's necessary to appeal the society and government to provide feasible service and assistance on the issue of abuse tendency,which is produced by the caregivers during the process of taking care of them.
3.Gut microbiota and type 1 diabetes mellitus
International Journal of Pediatrics 2017;44(3):189-192
Recent researches have shown that gut microbiota play an important role in pathogenesis of immune-related disorders.Type 1 diabetes mellitus,as an autoimmune disease,has received increasing attention,especially in terms of the relationship between the pathogenesis and intestinal microbiota.Change of gut microbiota is an important risk factor of the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus which have been confirmed with the animal model studies.This article reviews the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus,and the influence of gut microbiota on host immune response for possible prevention and treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus in the future.
4.ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC OBSERVATION ON THE EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE ANALGESIA ON THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF SYNAPSES OF CAUDATE NUCLEUS
Acta Anatomica Sinica 1953;0(01):-
The ultrastructures of synapses in the head of caudate nuclei of rats were studied by means of electron microscopic technique. The experimental group of rats, in which the pain threshold was elevated after electro-acupuncture, showed no change of the number of the granular vesicles, but a significant decrease of the number of clear synaptic vesicles (without dense core) in the presynaptic boutons. This might be correlated to release of acetylcholine in the synapse.

Aim To study Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and 7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone (7-oxo-DHEA) protected hippocampal neurons against neurotoxicity induced by glutamate(Glu). Methods Cell survival rate was analyzed using MTT colorimetry, the change of Ca 2+ levels and the levels of free radical in cultured hippocampal neurons were analyzed by the laser scanning confocal microscope, and cellular GSH level was also analyzed. Results Exposure of cultured rat hippocampal neurons to Glu resulted in accumulation of celluar Ca 2+ and cellular free radical were prevented by DHEA (0.1 ?mol?L -1 )and 7-oxo-DHEA(0.1 ?mol?L -1),and cellular GSH was increased. Conclusion DHEA and 7-oxo-DHEA protected hippocampal neurons against neurotoxicity induced by Glu.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of Weimaining capsule and XELOX regimen (oxaliplatin plus capecitabine) in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer patients.Methods A total of 62 patients with advanced gastric cancer who fulfilled all predetermined criteria were randomly divided into observation group and control group.The 31 patients in observation group received a combination of Weimaining capsule and XELOX regimen,the 31 patients in control group received only XELOX regimen at the same dose intensity.Each patient received at least two cycles (1 cycle =21 days) of treatment,the efficacy was assessed after two cycles.Results The median time-to-progression (TTP) of observation and control groups were 5.5 and 4.8 months,respectively.The difference had no statistical significance (P =0.238).The disease control rates (DCR) of observation group was significantly improved compared with control group [67.7 % (21/31) vs 41.9 % (13/21),P < 0.05],the difference was statistically significant,while the objective response rate (ORR) of the 2 groups had no statistical difference [(32.3 % (10/31) vs 25.8 % (8/31),P > 0.05].In drug safety aspects,there was no Ⅴ grade adverse reactions (deaths caused by drug) among all the patients.Rates of grades Ⅱ-Ⅳ neutrocytopenia and nausea,vomiting in observation group were obviously lower than control group [16.13 % (5/31) vs 38.71% (12/31),P < 0.05;12.90 % (4/31) vs 35.48 % (11/31),P < 0.05],other adverse reactions between the 2 groups had no statistical difference.Conclusions A combination of Weimaining capsule and XELOX regimen in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer patients can improve DCR significantly and reduce part of adverse reaction induced by chemotherapy with satisfactory safety.This method is worthy of application widely.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of Yunkang granule combined with dydrogesterone in the treatment of early threatened abortion. METHODS:128 patients with early threatened abortion were randomly divided into single drug group and combined medication group,64 cases in each group. Single drug group received Dydrogesterone tablet with first dose of 40 mg,then 10 mg,q 12 h until vaginal bleeding;combined medication group additionally received 8 g Yunkang granule, tid,until symptoms disappeared. Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG),clinical symptoms remission time and disappearance time,pregnancy/childbirth complications,pregnancy outcome and neonatal adverse outcome,and the incidence of adverse reac-tions in 2 groups were compared. RESULTS:After treatment,HCG in 2 groups significantly increased,and combined medication group was higher than single drug group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);clinical symptoms remission time and disappearance time in combined medication group were shorter than single drug group,the difference was statistically signifi-cant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in incidence of pregnancy/childbirth complications,pregnancy outcome and neonatal adverse outcomes in 2 groups (P>0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in combined medication group was 10.9%, which was significantly lower than single drug group (40.6%),the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLU-SIONS:Both dydrogesterone alone and Yunkang granule combined with dydrogesterone show good efficacy in the treatment of ear-ly threatened abortion,but the remission time and disappearance time of clinical symptoms and adverse reactions in combined medi-cation group are less than that in single drug group.

Objective To study the clinical effectiveness analysis of early use of low molecular weight hepa-rin and aspirin in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction.Methods 120 cases with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group according to a random number table,with 60 cases in each group.The patients of the control group were treated with aspirin,while the patients of the observation group were given low molecular weight heparin on the basis of the control group.Both groups were treated for one month,and the therapeutic effects and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared.Results The total efficiency of the ob-servation group was 96.7%(58 /60),which was significantly higher than the 76.7%(46 /60)of the control group, the difference was statistically significant(χ2 =12.051,P =0.019);The neurological deficits after treatment of the observation group was (16.21 ±2.05 )points,which was significantly lower than (26.04 ±1.03)points of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (t =10.372,P =0.027 ).Conclusion Acute cerebral infarction early use of low molecular weight heparin and aspirin had better clinical efficacy,and it can significantly promote the recovery of neurological function in patients.
