Objective To detect the changes of serum integrinβ4 level during both exacerbation and clinical remission of asthmatic patients, and observe the correlation between the changes and balance of Th1/Th2,and to explore the relationship between integrinβ4 and the immune function in asthmatic patients.Methods Thirty?five cases patients who were hospitalized in the Seventh People's Hospital of Shenzhen from May 2013 to June 2015 were collected into this study.Serum interleukin?4(IL?4),interferonγ(IFN?γ),and integrinβ4 were measured with ELISA and western?blotting methods during both exacerbation and remission of asthmatic patients. Then the level of IL?4, IFN?γand integrinβ4 of the two groups were compared. Results The level of serum integrinβ4 protein in the remission stage of asthma was significantly higher than that in the acute attack period, and the difference was statistically significant(0.633±0.032 vs. 0.375±0.107,t=3.31,P<0.01).The level of ser?um IFN?γ in the remission stage of asthma was significantly higher than that in the acute attack period,and the difference was statistically significant((49.3±6.4) g/L vs. (16.7±7.2) g/L,t=3.11,P<0.05),and the level of IL?4 was (25.3±3.6) ng/L and (43.7±11.2) ng/L respectively,the difference between the two groups had sta?tistical significance(t=3.23,P<0.05).The serum level of integrinβ4 and IL?4/IFN?γratio were passively corre?lated(the acute attack period:r=0.749,P=0.05;the remission stage of asthma:r=0.745,P=0.015).Conclu?sion The serum level of integrinβ4 is passively related to IL?4/IFN?γ. Integrinβ4 may play an important role between immune function and the development in airway inflammation of asthmatic patients.

Objective To evaluate the effect on the reversal of left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) and on heart function of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) therapy at different time of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods A total of 326 patients with primary anterior AMI-accompanied LVA diagnosed by left ventriculography (LVG) from January 2001 to July 2004 were enrolled in this study. They were randomized into 4 groups according to the time of accepting PCI:≤3 h group, 4-6 h group, 7-12 h group and one week group. At the baseline and 6 months after AMI, the parameters of left ventricular diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), left ventricular systolic volume index (LVESVI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular wall motion score (LVWMS) and left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) were measured by LVG. The paradox volume index (PVI) was measured by equilibrium radionuclide at one week and 6 months after AMI.At 3 year following up to, the major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were recorded. Results At 6 months after PCI, the LVESVI, LVEDVI, WMS and LVEDP were all decreased while LVEF was increased in the four groups as compared with pre-PCl (P<0.05, respectively). Those parameters changed most obviously in ≤3 h group. At the 6th month after PCI, the PVI was lower in ≤3 h group (12.1±2.1)% than in 4-6 h, 7-12 h and one week group [(15.4±2.4)%, (16.5±2.5)% and (20.4±3.7)%, all P<0.05]. Within the 3 years follow-up, the MACE was significantly lower in 3 h, 4-6 h and 7-12 h groups than in one week group, and the mortality was lower too [(2.8%, 3.0% and 3.1% vs. 17.9%, all P<0.05]. Conclusions The early, fully and permanent open of the infraction-related artery can effectively inhibit the left ventricular remodeling process, prevent LVA formation, improve LV function and prognosis.

BACKGROUND: Subsequent to liver transplantation, pulmonary infection and new drug resistant strain frequently appear due to complex pathophysiological changes and abuse of antibiotics.OBJECTIVE: To collect the clinical data of 6 cases who underwent liver transplantation, and analyze the prevention and treatment measures of pulmonary infection after liver transplantation.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Retrospective case analysis, performed in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery,First People's Hospital of Guangzhou between January and December 2004.PARTICIPANTS: Six cases that underwent liver transplantation and received treatment in the First People's Hospital of Guangzhou were recruited in the present study. All 6 cases underwent selective homologous whole liver transplantation, 5cases underwent modified orthotopic piggyback liver transplantation, and only 1 underwent classical orthotopic liver transplantation.METHODS: The clinical data of the 6 cases were retrospectively analyzed. After transplantation, basic disinfection,isolation, infection-protection measures should be taken. In addition, etiological information was collected. Chest X-ray was underwent to know the lung at the early stage. Aseptic manipulating was strictly performed during sputum aspiration.Gastrointestinal decompression and non-obstructed drainage were maintained to prevent aspiration. Moreover, preventive anti-infective treatment against the bacteria, fungi, and viruses was performed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pulmonary infection and curative effects subsequent to liver transplantation.RESULTS: Of the 6 cases, 5 presented with pulmonary infection, including 1 at 4-11 days after transplantation and 1 at 1day after transplantation. One case died of respiratory failure. The remaining 5 cases were cured after standardized anti-infection, respiratory therapy, sputum aspiration, and nutritional support.CONCLUSION: Application of effective antibiotics, aseptic operation in sputum aspiration, and unobstructed respiratory tract drainage are important measures for treating pulmonary infection subsequent to liver transplantation.
