Objective: In order to study how to accelerate the reconstitution immunofunction in BMT mice, first of all, we established a immunodeficiency model of BMT in BALB/C mice. Then BMT mice were injected with PCD-hIL-2 directly into skeletal muscle, and treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Methods: The experiment groups are designed as(A)Chinese medicine + PCD-hIL-2;(B)PCD-hIL-2;(C)Chinese medicine +hIL-2;(D)Chinese medicine;(E)hIL-2;(F)BMT;(G)normal control;(H)radiation control. Results: We compared groups A B C D to E or F groups, found(1)The splenocytes/thymocytes count increase obviously.(2)Killing activity of NK cell rises obviously in vivo.(3)The response of splenocytes、thymocytes、BM cells to mitogen goes up.(4)The reactivity of splenocytes to foreign IL-2 goes up. (5)CFU-GM count is increased. Conclusion: The expression of hIL-2 is very low by nude DNA injection ,but it is enough to have biological function and therapeutic effect .If only Chinese medicine was applied, the immunological condition was obviously recovered.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of CT-guided interstitial implantation of ~(125)I seeds for the treatment of pulmonary carcinoma. Methods A total of 18 patients with pulmonary carcinoma underwent CT-guided interstitial implantation of ~(125)I seeds. According to the size of tumor,effective dose, and optimal quantity of ~(125)I seeds to the patient that were computed by a developed algorithm in Treatment Planning System (TPS), the ~(125)I seeds were implanted into the tumor tissues under the guidance of spiral CT. The patients were reexamined by CT 2 months after the operation and were followed up for 6 months. Results A total of 812 seeds were implanted into the 18 lesions in the 18 cases (45.1 seeds per case in average). The CT scan performed 2 months after the operation showed CR in 7 cases, PR in 10, and NC in 1. The total effectiveness (CR+PR) rate was 94% (17/18). Conclusions CT-guided interstitial implantation of ~(125)I seeds is a effective, minimally invasive, and low toxic method for valid and minimally traumatic treatment for middle- and late-stage lung cancer. Further application and long-term observation are necessary.

Objective To observe the curative effects of long term statins treatment on blood lipid and left ventriclar function of myocardial infarction patients. Methods 70 patients with myocardial infarction were randomly divided into two groups: Statins treatment group (n=37) and control group (n=33). The level of blood lipid, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were mearsured before and 2 years after the treatment. Results The long term applies of statins can bring statistically different (P<0.05) of TC and LDL-C to myocardial infarction patients. LVESD and LVEF were statistically different (P<0.05) before and after statins were used. Conclusion The long term applies of statins can improve the lipidic metabolism and left ventricular function after myocardial infarction.

Objective To investigate the effect of blood glucose levels on lipid-lowering therapy in patients with myocardial infraction (MI).Methods The data of 174 patients with acute or old MI and finished a two-year follow-up were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into four groups: diabetes mellitus (DM) with well blood glucose control (DM+W group), diabetes mellitus with bad blood glucose control (DM+B group), non-diabetes mellitus with well blood glucose control (NDM+W group) and non-diabetes mellitus with bad blood glucose control (NDM+B group). Blood lipids levels, dose and side effects of statins were statistically analyzed.Results All the 174 patients had a mean follow-up period of 28±7 months, and 51 patients (25.9%) had diabetes mellitus. In DM+B group (n=13, 25.5%) and NDM+B group (n=24, 19.5%), there were no statistically difference between enrollment and 2-year follow-up in the mean levels of blood total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), but the mean level of LDL-c had a trend of elevation. In DM+W group, the mean level of LDL-c was 2.57 mmol/L at 2-year follow-up, which did not achieve the recommended LDL-c goal (2.06 mmol/L). There were no differences in statin therapy between each group. After 2-year follow-up, there were only 93 patients (53.4%) received normal dose of statin, 60 patients (34.5%) took low dose of statin and 16 patients (9.2%) had no statin therapy. There were no differences in hepatic enzyme abnormality between each group.Conclusion The bad control of blood glucose in patients with MI effect the efficacy of statins in lipid-lowering therapy. The doses of statin are insufficient especial in patients with MI and DM.

To study validity and reliability of the modified elbow attachment (mEA) of Biodex. Methods 25 healthy volunteers participated in the study. The tester A used mEA and standard elbow attachment (sEA) separately to test right elbow flexor and extensor of these volunteers within a day. The tester B used mEA to assess the same muscles of the same volunteers 3 days later. The correlation between mEA and sEA were analyzed to test the validity and reliability of mEA. Results mEA was highly correlated with sEA in all isokinetic test data (P<0.05). The interclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were more than 0.75 in most isokinetic test data (P<0.05). Conclusion The mEA has a good validity and reliability.

[Objective] To investigate the value of HBV-M and HBV DNA of newborns born to HBsAg-positive mother, which were tested before combined immunization of hepatitis B. [Method] A total of 420 infants born to HBsAg-positive mothers delivered in Obstetric Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from June 2006 to February 2008 were followed up at least 6 months and rechecked HBV-M to confirm the diagnosis of HBV intrauterine infection, which included 33 HBsAg or HBV DNA positive newborn babies and 6 newborns with both HBsAg seropositive and HBV DNA seropositive. [Result] HBV intrauterine infection rate was 0.95%. Using newborn both HBsAg positive and HBV DNA positive as diagnostic criterion to diagnose HBV intrauterine infection, the positive likelihood ratio was 208.3, while using newborn HBsAg positive or HBV DNA positive as diagnostic criterion, it was 14.3. [Conclusion] Newborn both HBsAg positive and HBV DNA positive obtained before combined immunization of hepatitis B may predict HBV intrauterine infection, and it may play as a clinical index of preliminary diagnosis of HBV intrauterine infection.

Objective To analyze labor duration in nulliparous women and discuss the change about curve of labor duration. Methods Two thousand, one hundred and forty nulliparous, full-term pregnant, singleton, cephalic presentation and vaginal delivery women who delivered at Peking University First Hospital were included. There were 1 300 cases between January 1, and December 31, 2009, while 840 cases between January 1, and May 31, 2013. A retrospective study was conducted. Data on maternal age, gestational age at delivery, body mass index at delivery, newborn weight, time of labor initiation, cervical dilatation and the amount of bleeding within the first 24 h after delivery were recorded. Data were compared by t test and χ2 test. The median time span corresponding to one-centimeter-increase in cervical dilatation was calculated. Results (1)Compared with data from 2009, the maternal age [(29.0±3.0) vs (29.6±2.8) years, t=4.77], incidence of postpartum hemorrhage [1.8%(24/1 300) vs 4.3%(36/840),χ2=11.17], proportion of induced labor [37.3%(485/1 300) vs 64.0%(538/840),χ2=146.23] and proportion of analgesia during labor [54.2%(705/1 300) vs 61.5% (517/840), χ2=11.15] were all higher in 2013 (all P<0.01). (2)The median (minimum–maximum) time span corresponding to a one-centimeter-increase in cervical dilatation was 3-4 cm which corresponded to 2.2 h(0.8-4.3 h), 4-5 cm which corresponded to 1.9 h(0.6-4.0 h), 5-6 cm which corresponded to 1.8 h(0.5-4.0 h), 6-7 cm which corresponded to 1.6 h(0.5-2.0 h), 7-8 cm which corresponded to 1.8 h(0.8-2.0 h), 8-9 cm which corresponded to 1.3 h(0.2-2.5 h), and 9-10 cm which corresponded to 0.6 h(0.1-2.5 h). The curve of labor duration showed a slow uptrend with time on the horizontal axis and cervical dilatation on the vertical axis. Conclusions The curve of labor duration exhibits a slow uptrend with neither an acceleration phase nor a deceleration phase. It is important to redefine the time span of labor duration in China for appropriate clinical treatment.
