Type-2 innate lymphoid cells ( ILC2 ) is a new member of the innate lymphoid cell family which has been recently discovered. These cell arise from lymphoid progenitors in the bone marrow and,under the control of the transcriptional regulators and Gata3,producing IL-5,IL-9 and IL-13 is a sign of the matura-tion. These cells are critical components of the innate immune response to parasitic worm infections and have al-so been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma. This paper summarizes the role of ILC2 in the pathogenesis of asthma and its therapy research progress.

ObjectiveTo evaluate clinical-pathological features, diagnosis and therapy of gestational trophoblastic tumor (GTT) misdiagnosed as ectopic pregnancy. MethodsFrom 1999 to 2003, a total of 13 patients with GTT misdiagnosed as ectopic pregnancy were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsThe main symptoms were amenorrhea, abdominal pain, irregular vaginal bleeding. Serum beta-human chorionic gonadotrop in(hCG) was measured in 10 patients. Eight had hCG values above 10 000 IU/L; 3 had hCG values above 50 000 IU/L. The lesions of GTT misdiagnosed as ectopic pregnancy were fallopian tube, horn of uterus, peritoneal cavity, greater omentum, recto-uterine pouch. According to standards of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO) the 13 patients were categorized as 6 of stage Ⅰ, 2 of stage Ⅱ, 3 of stage Ⅲ and 5 of stage Ⅳ. Histologically they included 10 cases of choriocarcinoma and 3 of invasise mole. All patients were treated by complete surgical resection combined with subsequent adjuvant chemotherapy. ConclusionsMisdiagnosis leads to delay in therapy with resultant increased morbidity of GTT.Analysis on serial hCG is helpful to differential diagnosis between ectopic pregnancy and GTT.

Objective To study the changed status of mortality from urinary and male genital diseases in Shanghai Hongkou district in recent years. Methods Mortality from diseases in Shanghai Hongkou district population from 1991 to 1998 was studied and analyzed. Results There were 1130 persons died of urinary and male genital diseases,749 being male and 381 female.It accounted for 2.08% of the total death,being 2.58% in the male and 1.51% in the female.The 5 major urinary and male genital diseases were in turn nephritis and nephropathy,bladder cancer,benign prostatic diseases,prostate cancer and renal carcinoma.Mortality from bladder cancer,renal cancer,prostate cancer and other prostatic diseases has been rising as compared to those in the 80s especially protatic cancer and other prostatic diseases whereas mortality from nephritis and nephropathy,pyelonephritis and renal failure was decreasing. Conclusions Mortality from prostate cancer and other prostatic diseases in population is remarkably rising.Attention is called to the study,prophylaxis and treatment of prostatic diseases.

Objective To investigate the oxidative stress caused by tri-n-butyltin (TBT) in mice. Methods 24 male NIH mice were chosen and the different doses of TBT were given per os for 24 h acute toxic test, meanwhile set the control group of 0.9% sodium chloride and 13% ethanol. The TOSC of heart, brain, lung, liver and kidney homogenates were detected by gas chromatography. Results After 24 h TBT exposure, TOSC of all viscera tissues was increased and this change was significant in the heart and brain, in every dose level, compared with the control (P

OBJECTIVETo explore the role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores in effectiveness evaluation of clinical studies.

METHODSRandomized controlled trials (RCTs) of TCM published in five journals in 2013 were retrieved, including Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine (JTCM), Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine (CJITWM), Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine (CJIM), Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (ECAM), and American Journal of Chinese Medicine (AJCM). The details of TCM syndrome scores and other relevant factors reported in articles were extracted and analyzed. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were used to describe general features of inclusive studies, ratios of reports on CM syndrome scores in each journal, formulated evidence, adopted evaluation rules, important degrees. The difference in the application rate of CM syndrome scores were compared in various diseases, diseases with or without CM syndrome typing, places where clinical studies were implemented, and different journals.

RESULTSA total of 240 RCTs were included, involving 178 published in Chinese version and 62 in English version. CM syndrome scores were used for effectiveness evaluation in 27.1% (65/240) of RCTs, of which, the highest application percentage was 35.3% (18/51) in RCTs published in CJITWM, and the lowest was 0 (0/7) in RCTs published in AJCM. There were 17 methods for grading TCM syndrome scores, of which Guideline for Clinical Research of New Chinese Herbal Medicine was most commonly used. Detailed grading standards for CM syndrome scores were reported in 46 RCTs, and CM syndrome scores were taken as primary or secondary outcomes in 6 RCTs. When describing the percentages of RCTs adopting TCM syndrome score by diseases classification, the lowest was 9.5% (2/21) in mental and behavioral disorders, and the highest was 39.1% (9/23) in endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases. RCTs with TCM syndrome differentiation had a higher percentage of adopting TCM syndrome score than those without TCM syndrome differentiation (P < 0.01). Statistical differences were also found among RCTs published in Chinese core journals (32.0%), domestic science citation index (SCI) journals (28.6%), and overseas SCI journals (4.9%) (χ2 = 12.4593, P < 0.01). For RCTs conducted by Chinese scholars, the percentage of using TCM syndrome score was 32.0% in three journals from China, while 7.1% in two foreign language journals, showing significant difference (χ2 =7.3615, P < 0.01); none of RCTs conducted by foreign scholars used TCM syndrome scores for effectiveness assessment.

CONCLUSIONSThere was a lack of agreeable and universal standards for TCM syndrome scores using in effectiveness evaluation. Therefore, it was not commonly used in domestic CM clinical studies. It was not so favorably agreed in overseas academic circles.

Radiation therapy is one of the main therapeutic means of thoracic malignant tumors .When re-ceived certain radiation ,lung may cause the common complication of chest tumor radiotherapy -Radiation -in-duced Lung Injury ( RILI) ,which restricts the radiation dose for the tumor region and may affect patient outcomes . RILI is closely associated with multiple cytokines ,such as interleukin family,tumor necrosis factor,transforming growth factor,etc.Currently,research on RILI control methods has also made some breakthrough ,this article elab-orates on this individually .

Objective To observe the effects of insulin pump therapy on type 1 diabetes mellitus children with diabetic keto or diabetic ketoa-cidosis(DK/DKA).Methods Forty-three children with DK/DKA were randomly divided into treatment group(n=26)and control group(n=17).The patients in treatment group were treated with insulin pump,control group were received small amount insulin injravenous injection.The changs of blood sugar,urine ketone bodies,incidence of hypoglycemia and length of stay were observed.Results 1.The effect of decreasing sugar was the same between two groups.2.There was no hypoglycemia events in treatment group.But 2 cases in control group had hypoglycemia.3.There was significant difference of length of stay between two groups(P

Now there are many difficulties in pediatric clinical teaching. As one important part of medical education, how to improve the teaching quality is worth discussion. Based on the current situation of pediatric clinical teaching in our Soochow University, the suggestions of how to improve the quality of pediatric clinical teaching are given.

The analytical chemistry is the specialized fundamental course of medical laboratory major.To the higher vocational students,it is an experiment operation technique,so to introduce the pattern based on the work process curriculum is helpful to the deconstruction and reorganization of analytical chemistry curriculum,and can stimulate students'study interest enormously and get good teaching effect.
