Objective To elucidate the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of Aspergillus necrotizing bronchitis. Methods Medical records and investigation data from 5 eases of Aspergillus necrotizing bronchitis were retrospectively analyzed, and related literatures were reviewed. Results Five patients (3 males and 2 females) with mean age of 63.6 y were enrolled in this study. All patients had histopathologically proved necrotizing aspergillosis of the large airways. Common presentations included cough, short of breath, sputum production, fever and haemoptysis. Tracheoscopy presentations included necrosis, mucous hyperemia, focal airway constriction and neoplasm. The CT findings included bronchial wall thickening, narrowing of the bronchial lumen, which was often associated with distal obstructive pneumonia. Conclusions The clinical manifestations of Aspergillus necrotizing bronchitis are nonspecific, and histopatholagical diagnosis is essential for a definite diagnosis and can be supported by tracheoscope or imaging techniques.

Objective To explore the expression characteristic of T regulatory cell (Treg)/T help cell (Th)17 and the correlation to disease progression in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients undergoing antivirus treatment,and to explore their roles in pathogenesis of CHB.Methods A total of 53 patients with CHB (CHB group) and 21 healthy controls (healthy control group) were selected,CHB patients included mild 18 cases,moderate 16 cases and severe 19 cases.The expression of Treg and Th17 were detected by flow cytometry and compared.The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT),total bilirubin (TBIL),cholinesterase,albumin were measured by automatic biochemical machine and for correlation analysis.Results The levels ofTh17,Treg,Treg/Th17 were (2.13 ± 0.65)%,(2.99 ± 0.68)% and (6.07 ± 1.18)%,(5.14 ± 0.96)% and 2.86 ± 0.67,1.73 ± 0.45 in CHB group before and after treatment for 24 weeks and (3.59 ± 0.75)%,(4.02 ± 0.77)%,1.04 ± 0.34 in healthy control group.There were significant differences (F =14.78,10.12,17.19; P < 0.01).The level of Th17 in mild,moderate and severe CHB was gradually decreased,but there was no significant difference (F =1.10,P =0.337).The level of Treg in mild,moderate and severe CHB patients was gradually increased,but there was no significant difference (F =0.54,P =0.585).The level of Treg/Th17 was gradually increased with aggravation (2.58 ± 0.59,2.76 ± 0.63,3.21 ± 0.71),and there was significant difference (F =3.15,P < 0.01),the level of Treg/Th17 in severe CHB patients was significantly higher than that in mild,moderate CHB patients (P <0.05).The level of Treg/Th17 had significantly positive correlation with ALT,TBIL (r =0.272,P=0.000; r =0.226,P=0.000).Conclusion Treg/Th17 balance not only relates with the pathogenesis of CHB,but also with the related immune inflammatory of liver tissue.

Objective To investigate the effects of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) on ethanol-induced liver injury in rats. Methods 48 female SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups as control, model, small and large dose SAM groups. Except control group, all rats were fed high fat-containing diet plus ethanol and fish oil gavage for 8 weeks. SAM was administered by intraperitioneal injection after 4 weeks of exposure to ethanol. Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy), serum aminotransferase activity (ALT), liver malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH) contents were assayed, and expression of TNF-? was detected by immunohistochemistry, and liver histology was also examined. Results Compared with control group, model group rats developed marked liver damage, accompanied by an increase of tHcy, ALT, and MDA levels, but a decrease of GSH levels (P0.05). Conclusion SAM prevents alcohol-induced liver injury in rats by reducing liver lipid peroxidation, together with down-regalation of expression of TNF-?. SAM does not affect the plasma total homocysteine levels.

Objective To investigate the effect of decitabine on serum platelet derived growth factor levels in patients with leukemia. Methods 120 cases of acute myeloid leukemia patients admitted to our hospital from January 2012 to December 2014 were selected as the study subjects.The control group was given CAG regimen: 1-14 d Seventh days of intravenous infusion of 20 mg/d aclarubicin, first to fourteen days subcutaneous injection of 10 mg/m2 , 1 times per 12 h, 1-13 d cytosine arabinosine days under the subcutaneous injection of granulocyte colony stimulating factor 300μg/d.The observation group was given to the west of the lake 25 mg/d, intravenous infusion, used for 5 days.The levels of platelet derived growth factor PDGF in the two groups were compared and the therapeutic effect.Results Before treatment, differences of PDGF in control group and observation group was no statistical significance.After treatment, PDGF in observation group was lower than control group ( P <0.05).The proportion of primary cells of bone marrow of two groups after treatment was lower than before treatment, and the observation group was more lower.Total effective rate of observation group was 55.0%,which was higher than that in control group(35.0%)(P<0.05).Conclusion Decitabine could reduce the level of of PDGF in patients with leukemia, and improve the total effective rate.

Objective:To observe the risk factors of acute renal injury(AKI) after coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) and the influence of blood pressure on AKI.Methods:980 patients in CABG of Cardiology Department of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital were diagnosed with AKI according to the AKIN standard, with 706 males and 274 females, averaged(61.9±8.0)years old. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether AKI occurred: AKI group(86 cases) and non AKI group(894 cases). The baseline clinical data, operation related data were compared between the two groups. At the same time, according to the preoperative mean systolic blood pressure(SBP) level, LSP[mean systolic blood pressure<120 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), 374 cases], MSP(mean systolic blood pressure 120-140 mmHg, 481 cases) and HSP(mean systolic blood pressure≥140 mmHg, 125 cases) were classified as covariates, and the influencing factors of dependent variable AKI were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results:The prevalence of AKI was 8.7%(86/980). Compared with non-AKI group, preoperative SBP[(129.8±13.8)mmHg vs.(124.4±13.3)mmHg, P=0.000], mean arterial pressure[(91.9±8.8)mmHg vs.(88.8±9.1)mmHg, P=0.004], and mean pulse pressure[(56.9±10.7)mmHg vs.(53.2±9.8)mmHg, P=0.001]were increased significantly. After adjusted for other risk factors, preoperative SBP elevation, hypertension history, cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB), use of intra-aortic-balloon-pump(IABP), secondary thoracotomy, preoperative diuresis, intraoperative blood transfusion and baseline low glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) were independent risk factors for AKI after CABG. Compared with LSP group, the relative risk of AKI after CABG in HSP group was 2.743(95% CI: 1.595-4.715). In patients with hypertension history, AKI in HSP group was significantly higher than that in LSP group(18.4% vs. 8.1%, P=0.001). However, the preoperative blood pressure level of patients who denied the history of hypertension had no effect on AKI. Conclusion:Preoperative SBP is a risk factor for AKI after CABG. The incidence of AKI after CABG can be significantly reduced by controlling SBP below 140 mmHg in patients with hypertension.
