Objective To evaluate the effectiveness, the influence on cellular immune function and the side-effect of bacillus of Calmette-Guerin polysaccharide nucleic acid(BCG-PSN)combined with antituberculous chemotherapy in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods A total of 60 pulmonary tuberculosis patients were divided into treatment group(30 patients)and control group(30 patients)by random digits table. All patients accepted the same standard antituberculous chemotherapy, meanwhile patients in treatment group were injected with BCG-PSN. Observed and compared the clinical symptom,the size of the focas nidus,the change of toxic response and immunity. Results The symptoms were significantly relieved in both groups after treatment(P<0.05), but it was significantly better in treatment group(P<0.05), the effective rate and control rate in treatment group[36.7%(11/30),96.7%(29/30)]were significantly higher than those in control group[23.3%(7/30), 86.7%(26/30)](P < 0.05). After treatment,the levels of CD3,CD4 and IL-2 were higher, and the level of CD8 was lower, but the treatment group improved significantly better than control group(P < 0.05). The rate of leukopenia was lower in treatment group than that in control group[10.0%(3/30)vs. 33.3%(10/30),P <0.05]. As to the safety,no other toxicities were observed in the treatment group. Conclusions BCG-PSN combined with antituberculous chemotherapy in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis contributes to relieve the symptom, reduce size of the nidus, decrease leukopenia incidence and enhance the cell immunity. It is safe.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanisms of beta3 adrenoceptor subtypes mediating rat detrusor relaxation. Methods Cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP) was detected by radioimmunoassay, the effects of the cyclic AMP inhibitor SQ 22,536 and the cyclic AMP dependent protein kinase inhibitor H 89 on the relaxation elicited by ISO and BRL37344A in the rat ditrusor were investigated based on pharmacological evaluations. Results After the stimulating of ? AR by ISO, the levels of intracellular cAMP was increased, and the relaxation mediated via ISO could be partly inhibited by SQ 22,536 or H 89 The concentrations of intracellular cAMP had no changes in the presence of SQ 22,536 or H 89, and the relaxant responses to BRL37344A was not affected by SQ 22,536 or H 89. Conclusion The effects of ISO via? AR on relaxant responses to detrusor was mediated mainly by the cyclic AMP independent pathway and in part by the cyclic AMP dependent pathway, but cAMP PKA pathway were not involved in the beta3 adrenoceptor signaling pathway

A retrospective analysis was carried out in 36 patients with blunt diaphragmatic rupture during March 1991 and March 2006. Twenty-two diagnoses were confirmed preoperatively, and the rest 14were confirmed perioperatively. Three patients underwent surgical treatment after no response to conservative therapy. Thoracotomy was performed in 21 patients, laparotomy in 9, thoracotomy plus laparotomy in 5 and combined thoraco-laparotomy in 1. Most diaphragmatic rupture may be caused by blunt collision and could lead to thoracoabdominal injury. In spite of high mortality rate, the condition is usually under diagnosed. Definite diagnosis and timely operation are important to increase survival rate and reduce mortality.
