International Journal of Pediatrics 2014;(5):559-560,564
Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of myocardial enzymes and high sensitive C-reactive protein( hs-CRP) in children with herpangina. Methods A total of 80 children with herpangina( obser-vation group,n=80),at the same time,50 healthy children as control group(n=50)were assigned for the detec-tion of myocardial enzymes(AST,LDH,CK,CK-MB)and hs-CRP. Results The elevated CRP levels were found in 45(56. 25%)patients of observation group and 2(4%)patients of the control group,showing statistical significance(χ2 =31. 55,P<0. 01). Abnormal myocardial enzyme levels were observed in 59(73. 75%)cases, which included AST 51. 6%, CK 40. 1%, CK-MB 21. 4%, LDH 72. 2%. Abnormal myocardial enzyme levels were observed in 6(12%) cases of control group,which included AST l6%,CK 10%,CK-MB 4% and LDH 12%. The significant differences were observed between the two groups ( P<0. 01 ) . Conclusion Herpangina children may have different degrees of myocardial damage. Myocardial enzymes and hs-CRP are useful indicators for myocardial injury which may effectively provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the incidence of anxiety in patients with breast cancer,and further explore the surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI) technology' s clinical value in the diagnosis of anxiety.Methods 121 breast cancer patients were selected as research objects by using convenience sampling method.Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) was used to evaluate the anxiety on the first day of admission and SELDI was used on the next day to detect the serum from patients' fasting venous blood sample got in the morning after their consent,then anxiety-related protein fingerprints spectrums were selected.The SAS score and SELDI result were finally compared and analyzed.Results SAS score in 121 patients was 53.45±9.78,anxiety occurred in 63 cases (52.07 %).Established the diagnostic model between 15 000+H and 16 800+H protein fingerprints abundance ≥5 %,that was to say,abundance ≥5 % was judged as positive,otherwise negative.On this basis,patients can accurately be distinguished between anxious group and non-anxious group.Correct rate (total coincidence rate) was 91.74 %,specificity and sensitivity respectively were 89.66 % (52/58) and 93.65 % (59/63),the positive predictive value was 90.77 % (59/65),and negative predictive value was 92.86 % (52/56).Conclusions Breast cancer patients have a high incidence of anxiety.SELDI technology has showed high sensitivity and specificity in anxiety detecting.As an objective assessment tool,it could have better prospects for clinical use.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of Trk(tropomyosin receptor kinase) and Akt(protein kinase B), and to explore the neuroprotective role and its mechanism of β-NGF (β-nerve growth factor) after focal cerebral ischemia. Methods A focal cerebral ischemia rat model was made and β-NGF was injected intra abdominally. The phosphorylation of Trk and Akt were tested by immunocytochemistry and Western blot assay. Results Trk receptor was increased obviously in the penumbra area after 8 h of infarction. The level of phosphorylated Trk(p-Trk) was increased after 2 h of infarction, while the level of phosphorylated Akt(p-Akt) had a decrease and then recovered gradually. The level of p Akt in cerebral ischemia group was decreased by 76.5% compared with that in control group after 8 h of infarction(P<0. 01). After the injection of β-NGF, the level of p-Trk was increased by 74.4% after 12 h of infarction(P<0.01), while the level of p-Akt was recovered significantly after 8 h of infarction, and had no statistical difference compared with the control group after 24 h of infarction (P>0.05). Conclusions Ischemia induces the activation and increased expression of Trk receptor, andβ-NGF may play a protective role in cerebral ischemia by increasing the phosphorylation of Trk and regulating the phosphorylation of Akt.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of free fatty aids (FFAs) on the apoptosis and migration of human breast cancer cells ( MDA-MB-231 ).MethodsBreast cancer cells were exposed to oleic acid (OA) and palmitic acid (PA) with different concentrations (50,200,and 500 umol/L).Quantity RT-PCR was conducted to detect mRNA expression of PTEN,and Western blot to detect protein expression of PTEN and Bcl-2.Cell apoptosis was measured with TUNEL method,and migration measured with transwell method.ResultsThe mRNA and protein expressions of PTEN in MDA-MB-231 cells were down-regulated after OA stimulation,but up-regulated after PA stimulation ( all P < 0.05 ).The protein expression of Bcl-2 increased after OA stimulation and decreased after PA stimulation ( both P < 0.05 ).PA increased the apoptosis,and both OA and PA enhanced the invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells.ConclusionsPA may promote apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells through changing the expression of the tumor suppressor PTEN,but also increases the invasion of the cancer cells.The invasion of cancer cells could be enhanced by OA stimulation as well.

Objective To study the effects of sevoflurane on voltage-gated Na~+, K~+ and Ca~(2+) channels in rat dorsal root ganglion(DRG) cells.Methods Dorsal root ganglions were dissected from thoracic and upper lumbar segments of the spinal cord. DRG cells were prepared by digestion with collagenase and trypsin at 32-34℃ The whole cell Na~+, K~+ and Ca~(2+) currents were recorded by standard patch clamp technique. The changes in the currents from holding potential of-70 mV to test potential of 0 mV were recorded in a 10 mV increments in the presence and absence of sevoflurane. Results 0.4, 0.9 and 1.8 mmol?L~(-1) sevoflurane had no effect on Na~+ or K~+ currents but Ca~(2+) currents could be significantly suppressed by 0.4 mmol?L~(-1) sevoflurane. Conclusion Na~+ and K~+ channels in DRG cells are not involved in the spinal mechanism of sevoflurane. The inhibition of Ca~(2+) current in DRG cells by sevoflurane could be associated with the antinociceptive effect of sevoflurane at the spinal cord level.
