Asparaginase(ASP) is an important drug in the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.Asparaginase associated pancreatitis (AAP) is the main treatment-adverse events of asparaginase.After reviewing the recent foreign literatures about AAP and the Chinese expert about polyethylene glycol conjugated asparaginase (PEG-ASP) in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and malignant lymphoma with asparaginase,conclude and analysis the data about childhood AAP and show the epidemiology,clinical features,early diagnosis and effective treatment of children with AAP.Make clinical compare of L-asparaginase and PEG-ASP.Based on the full grasp of the relevant data,analyzing,introducing and integrating,this may be helpful to the diagnosis and treatment of childhood AAP.

Since upper limb function disorder exists in many children with cerebral palsy, it is improtant to assess and treat the disorder of the upper extremities. The common assessments include muscle tone, range of motion and upper extremity assessment. The goal of therapy is to decrease the muscle tone and increase the range of motion. In addition we should emphasize the functional ability and purposeful skill of the upper extremity.

We retrospectively analyzed 23 cases of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (HNL) admitted to our hospital as fever of unknown origin (FUO).Fever,lymphadenopathy and skin rash were the most common clinical manifestation.The major laboratory features included cytopenia,abnormal liver enzyme and elevated inflammatory markers.Three of the 23 cases were finally diagnosed as infectious disease,5 as autoimmune disease,while the left 15 remained as HNL during the follow-up.Four of the 15 HNL patients resolved spontaneously,while the other 11 relieved by steroid use.Two patients relapsed during the follow-up.HNL was one of the rare causes of FUO.Since it would be accompanied with infectious,autoimmune or malignant diseases,long follow-up is necessary.

Objective To investigate the role of the imbalance of Th 1/Th 2 cells in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD). Methods Thirteen patients with Graves′ disease (GD), 12 patients with Hashimoto′s thyroiditis (HT) were recruited for the study, and 8 patients with non-toxic nodular goiter served as controls. The expressions of interferon-? (IFN-?) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) of intrathyroidal mononuclear cells (ITMC), representative cytokines of Th 1 and Th 2 cells respectively, were assayed by immunohistochemical technique. Thyroid stimulating antibody (TSAb), thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb) and thyroid microsome antibody (TMAb) in peripheral blood were detected by routine methods, and their correlations with the IFN-? and IL-4 were analyzed. Results (1) Compared with the controls, the IL-4 and IFN-? expressions of ITMC in GD and HT patients were remarkably increased (both P

OBJECTIVE To understand the susceptibility to antituberculous agents for patients with primary and acquired drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. METHODS M. tuberculosis positive sputum samples were collected from Jun to Dec 2006. Ameliorative Lowenstein-Jensen culture medium was used to detect bacillus-positive specimen of pulmonary tuberculosis by typing using PNB and TCH. Totally 217 samples were confirmedtobe positive by culturing. Drug susceptibility test against streptomycin (SM),isoniazid (INH),rifampicin (RFP) and ethambutol (EMB) was conducted. RESULTS The total drug resistance rate was 65.90%,the initial drug resistance rate was 39.81% and the initial multi-drug resistance rate was 16.67% ;the acquired drug resistance rate was 91.74%,and the acquired multi-drug resistance rate was 74.31%. The main causes of drug resistance were irregularit of treatment at beginning and preterm stop of the freatment course by patients own selves,which accounted for 71.6%. CONCLUSIONS The drug resistance of M. tuberculosis is caused by irregular treatment,so the key to prevent and control drug resistance is rational and whole-course treatment.

Objective To evaluate therapeutic effects of hyperthermia therapy in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of nonsmall cell lung carcinoma. Methods Fifty-two patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma underwent hyperthermia therapy in combination with chemotherapy(NP regimen) in this hospital between September 2003 and November 2006.The therapeutic effects were evaluated after 3 cycles of the combination therapy,and were compared with those from 16 patients receiving only chemotherapy between January 2006 and November 2006.Results The combination therapy offered significantly better curative short-term effects than the simple chemotherapy.The total response rate was 65.4%(34/52) for the combination therapy and 37.5%(6/16) for the simple chemotherapy(Z=-2.419,P=0.016).Significant pain relief was achieved in patients after the combination therapy,while no analgesic effect was noted after the simple chemotherapy,the difference between the two groups of patients being statistically significant(Z=6.486,P=0.000).There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups,which mainly included nausea,granulocytopenia,thrombocytopenia,and abnormal liver functions.Conclusions Hyperthermia therapy in combination with chemotherapy compares favorably to simple chemotherapy in the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinoma.

Objective To design a stimulating instrument for physiology experiment.Methods A sine wave was produced by a high frequency oscillator,and then the sine wave increased in voltage by a transformer to accord with the maximal range needed.Afterwards,the increscent sine wave became a direct current signal with high voltage by a rectifier and a filter.Finally,the signal became a stimulating impulse to be exported by a switch,which was controlled by a controlling signal with adjustable frequency and width.Results Voltage range adjusted between 1 and 80V;Frequency adjusted between 0.1 and 200Hz;Impulse width adjusted between 0.1 and 5ms.Conclusion The stimulating instrument designed can be used to do electricity stimulating experiment in Physiology.
