Abstract: Objective To construct a mouse model of Schistosoma japonicum liver disease induced by direct injection of Schistosoma japonicum eggs through the portal vein and evaluate its effectiveness, in order to provide a new animal model for schistosomiasis liver disease research. Methods Fifteen 8-week-old C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into control group and egg injection group, with 5 in the control group and 10 in the egg injection group. On day -14, 5 000 live eggs were injected into the abdominal cavity of mice, and on day 0, the mice were anesthetized and the abdominal cavity was opened. 5 000 live eggs were injected through the portal vein, and the control group was injected with equal volume of phosphate buffer (PBS). 5 mice in the egg group were killed on day 10 and 30, respectively. The control group mice were killed on day 10, and their serum and liver tissue were collected. Hematoxylin eosin staining (HE) and Masson staining were performed, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and liver hydroxyproline (HYP) content were detected using a microplate spectrophotometer. Liver fibrosis-related genes, Th1 and Th2 type immune response-related genes were analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR). Liver injury, egg granuloma and fibrosis, and adaptive immune response were detected to evaluate the effect of portal vein injection of eggs while inducing mouse model of schistosomiasis liver disease. Results The results showed that significant egg granulomas appeared in the liver of mice after injection of eggs into the portal vein for 10 and 30 days. There was no statistically significant difference in the area of egg granulomas between the 10-day group and the 30-day group (t=0.975, P=0.332). Masson staining and liver hydroxyproline content detection showed significant fibrosis in the liver. The qPCR results showed that, compared with the control group, the expression levels of fibrosis marker genes, such as α⁃Sma (alpha smooth muscle actin), Col1a1 (collagen type Ⅰ alpha 1), and Tgfb1 (transforming growth factor beta 1), were significantly increased (t=6.380, 7.533, 5.314; P=0.002, 0.001, 0.007), and then decreased on the 30th day, with no statistical difference compared to the control group (t=0.940, 1.529, 1.746; P=0.778, 0.543, 0.457). At the same time, the expression levels of Th1 type immune response-related genes, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (Tnf), interferon gamma (Ifng), and Th2 type immune response-related genes, such as interleukin-5 (Il5), interleukin-13 (Il13), significantly increased 10 days after eggs injection (t=6.163, 4.589, 5.651, 5.367; P=0.003, 0.018, 0.020, 0.009). In addition, there was no significant change in the levels of AST and ALT in the serum of each group of mice (t=0.982, 3.450; P=0.771, 0.074. t=1.164, 0.564; P=0.697, 0.917). Conclusions A mouse model of schistosomiasis liver disease induced by portal vein injection of worm eggs was constructed. The study provides a new modeling method for studying the mechanism of liver fibrosis in schistosomiasis..

Objective To quantify the morphometric characteristics of the pedicles of the infantile thoracolumbar spine and to determine the feasibility and safety of pedicle screw fixation in very young children. Methods A total of 52 patients younger than three years of age underwent standard spiral computed tomography (CT) were enrolled in this study. The patients were grouped according to age, group 1 (0 ~ 18months of age) and group 2 (18 ~ 36 months of age). Images were reformatted, and multiplanar reconstructions were used to attain images of thoracic and lumbar pedicles on sagittal, coronal and transverse planes.The measurements included the inner and outer pedicle diameters on the transverse plane, pedicle sagittal diameter, pedicle length and the pedicle angle on the transverse. Characteristics of the pedicles of the immature thoracic and lumbar spine were studied. Results Pedicle diameters on the transverse plane decreased gradually from T1 to T5 and increased gradually from T6 to L5. The shortest transverse diameter of the thoracic pedicle was T5 or T6. The inner diameter of the segment of L4 in infant (younger than eighteen months) was less than 3.0 mm and the external diameter less than 3.5 mm from T3 to T9. The inner diameter of the segment from T5 to T8 in infant (more than eighteen months) was less than 3.0 mm and the external diameter from T4 to T7 was less than 3.5 mm. The sagittal diameter was significantly more than the transverse diameter. Pedicle diameters on the transverse plane, the sagittal diameter, and the length of the pedicle changed significantly with age, but the pedicle angle did not changed significantly with age. Conclusions The pedicles in the segment from T3 to T9 of less than eighteen months and from T4 to T7 of more than eighteen months were too small, there was no feasibility and safety of pedicle screw fixation. So pedicle screw fixation was feasible and safe for below T9 segment in the infants who are younger than three years old.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship of drug utilization index(DUI)of antibiotics with therapeutic efficacy of patients with acute exacorbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD). METHODS:By the method of drug utili-zation evaluation,inpatients with AECOPD in our hospital during 2013-2015 were selected as the research object. Diagnosis and treatment information prescribing information of patients were collected,and inpatients only receiving one kinds of antibiotics dur-ing hospitalization stay were selected to evaluate the relationship of therapeutic efficacy with rehospitalization indexes. RESULTS:A total of 2155 AECOPD patients were enrolled in the study. Among antibiotics with DDDs>500,antibiotics with DUI close to 1.0 was cefotiam hydrochloride for injection,and that with DUI far higher than 1.0 was Cefodizime sodium for injection,while that with DUI much less than 1.0 was Piperacillin sodium and sulbactam sodium for injection. There was statistical significance in therapeutic efficacy between Cefotian hydrochloride for injection and Piperacillin sodium and sulbaactam for injection (P<0.05);rehospitalization had no statistical significance(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in therapentic efficacy or rehospital-ization between cefotiam hydrochloride for injection and cefodizimes sodium for injection(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:DUI is as-sociated with therapeutic efficacy,but the rationality of antibiotics can not be simple judged according to the distance between DUI and 1.0. A variety of confounding and bias factors should be integrated to avoid misreading and misjudgment.
