Objective To explore the preventive and therapeutic effect of recombinant human interleukin-11(rhIL-11) on thrombocytopenia in children with non-lymphocytic leukemia after chemotherapy.Methods Sixteen children who had non-lymphocytic leukemia were divided into 2 groups by randomization,including a therapeutic group and a control group.RhIL-11[50 ?g/(kg?d)] was injected subcutaneously 24 h after chemiotherapy in the therapeutic group,and applied consecutively 10-14 days,and the control group was treated without RhIL-11.Duration of the thrombocytopenia,infusion of blood platelet,diversity of blood platelets counts and adverse effect were observed of the 2 groups.Differences between groups were examined using statistics analysis.Results There were 16 case-times(59.3%) in the therapeutic group that of could be cured without platelet transfusion,but that of control group only had 3 case-times(14.3%);the diffe-rence between 2 groups was significant(P

Objective: To observe the changes of heart-type fatty acid binding-protein(H-FABP) in the femoral vein(periphe ral blood) and urine of rats with myocardial infarction in different postmortem intervals. Methods: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was duplicated by ligating the anterior branch of the left coronary artery following the method of Johns in rats. Concentrations of H-FABP were detected with enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA). Results: The concentrations of H-FABP in experiment group were obviously higher than that in control group. Along with the time, the concentrations of H-FABP in experiment group rose consistently, the concentration of H-FABP in 12 h group rose markedly, and it was obviously higher than in 48h that in 24h. The H-FABP concentrations in urine of the experiment group were obviouslyhigher than the one in control group. The urine concentrations of H-FABP in experiment group increased by wavy in postmortem intervals, the concentration of H-FABP in (6h) group was obviouslyhigher than that in 0h group, 12h and 24h postmortem, the H-FABP concentrations decreased, but still higher than that of 0h group and 48h group, the concentration of H-FABP rose markedly and washigher than 6h group. Conclusion: Affected by autolysis, the H-FABP concentrations of plasma and urine appeared abnormal raise and can not be used in postmortem diagnosis of AMI.

Objective: To evaluate the reliability of QLICP-GA (quality of life instruments for cancer patients-gastric cancer) scale by using generalizability theory, and to provide the references in order to revise and improve this scale. Methods: The mean squares of person (p), item (i) and the person-by-item interaction effect (pi) were calculated by using the module of UNIANOVA under the menu of General Linear Model in SPSS software. Furthermore, the generalizability coefficients and indexes of dependability were calculated in order to assess the reliability of QLICP-GA scale. Results: The largest source of variation in every domain was due to person-by-item interaction. The variances accounted for by person were large, while the variation accounted for by item was minimal. Generalizability coefficients of five domains were 0.774 (physical domain), 0.854 (psychological domain), 0.670 (social domain), 0.717 (common symptom and side effect domain), and 0.696 (specific domain), respectively. Conclusion: Physical domain, psychological domain and common symptom and side effect domain in QLICP-GA have good reliability. However, social domain and specific domain have acceptable reliability. Social domain should be emphasized when this scale will be revised and improved in future. The number of items of social domain should be added from 6 to 8 or 10. Secondly, the number of items of specific domain may be slightly added from 7 to 9. Copyright © 2013 by TUMOR.

Objective: To analyze the structure, reliability, validity and responsiveness of the six scales in the system of instruments measuring quality of life for patients with cancer (QLICP), which were developed to assess the quality of life for the patients with lung cancer, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer and cervical cancer. Methods: By using a stylized method, six QLICP-scales for lung cancer, breast cancer, head & neck cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer and cervical cancer were developed. The quality of life of 692 patients with different tumors including lung cancer (n=85), breast cancer (n=186), head & neck cancer (n=133), stomach cancer (n=86), colorectal cancer (n=110) and cervical cancer (n=92) were measured. The reliability, validity and the responsiveness of the six scales were evaluated by calculating the Cronbach's α coefficient for the overall and each domain of the scale, calculating the test-retest reliability coefficient, and using exploratory factor analysis and the paired t-test. Results: All of the six scales in the system of QLICP have good structure and satisfactory psychometrics characteristics, which means that they have good reliability, validity and the tolerable responsiveness. Conclusion: The six special modules in the system of QLICP, including lung cancer, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer and cervical cancer modules, can be used in combination with general module of QLICP as the instrument to assess the quality of life for patients with different cancers.

Objective To study the effects of purified rabies vaccine for human use (RV) on specific Th1/Th2 cytokines in human. Methods Twenty cases were injected intramuscularly with 5 full doses of RV. PBMCs were isolated from the blood sample collected at day 0, 14, 45 after the RV inoculation. Neutralizing antibody was determined by ELISA, and the proliferation of lymphocyte by in vitro test. The levels of RV specific IFN-γ, TNF, IL-2,IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 in the culture supernatants were detected by cytometric bead array (CBA). Results The neutralizing antibody was tested positive in 19 cases 45 days after inoculation and 1 case after 60 days, with the positive rate reaching 100%. After stimulation with RV, the lymphocyte transformation index at day 14, 45 in cases were significantly higher than those day of 0 (P< 0.05), and similar results were confirmed with IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 tested by CBA (P<0.05). Condusion The RV could induce humoral and antigen-specific cellular immune responses in human, tested by showing good protective effect on rabies virus.

Objective To investigate the effect of noninvasive ventilator therapy on serum C-reactive protein (CRP), endothelin-1 (ET-1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and its clinical significance. Methods One hundred cases of moder-ate and severe OSAHS patients were selected by the method of parallel opening. All of the patients were given health education requirement , quitting smoking and wine , low fat diet and exercise to lose weight and other con-ventional treatment. The patients were randomly divided into the treatment group of 42 cases with noninvasive ventilator treatment , 44 cases treated with conventional treatment , to observe the changes of serum CRP , ET-1 and TNF-α levels and PSG parameters after 12 weeks in two groups. Results Apnea hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI), the lowest oxygen saturation (LSpO2), and the average oxygen saturation MSpO2 in OSAHS patients were significantly improved after treatment (P < 0.01), but the degree of improvement in the two groups after treatment was significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.01). Plasma CRP, ET-1 and TNF-α levels in the two groups after treatment were lower than before treatment (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), but the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P < 0 . 05 or P < 0 . 01 ) . Conclusion Noninvasive ventilator therapy in improving the OSAHS monitoring data of patients with PSG can effectively reduce the serum CRP, TNF-α, ET-1 level, reduce the body′s inflammatory reaction.
