Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2007;0(11):-
Objective:To explore the value of direct coronal CT scan for airway disease in children. Methods:The clinical and imaging data of the lung and airway disease of eighty-seven cases were retrospectively analyzed.Chest film(48 with chest fluo- roscopy) the cross and coronal CT scan were performed and confirmed by tracheal endoscopy operation in all cases. Results: The main X-ray signs on chest film(fluoroscopy) and the cross CT were obstructive emphysema obstructive pneumonia or at- electasis. The coronal CT displayed 68(78.2%) cases with foreign body of which 64 cases were positive and 4 cases nega- tive;3(3.4%)cases with tracheal bronchus; 2 of which with the right upper lobe bronchus arising from the tracheal 1case with the apical and posterior segment of the right upper lobe bronchus arising from the tracheal;7(8.0%) cases with tracheal- bronchus Stenosis:1 case with the cross diameter of the tracheal narrow 4 cases with the left bronchus narrow 2 cases with tracheal narrow compressed by esophagitis foreign body;2(2.3%) cases with trachea stenosis associated with tracheal bronchus: 1 case with the cross diameter of the tracheal narrow and the tracheal diverticulum above the carina the other one with the right tracheal-bronchus,then tracheal stenosis above the carina;4(4.6%) cases with bronchitis;2(2.3%) cases with bronchus granuloma.1(1.2%)cases bronchus TB. Conclusion:Axial and Direct coronal CT scanning can demonstrate the cause of some lung and airway diseases,provide evidence for the differential diagnosis in children and be helpful in planning virtual flexible bronchoscopy.

Acta Anatomica Sinica 1954;0(02):-
Objective The localization of AQP4 was studied in the brain,especially,in the periventricular organs,such as ependyma,choroid plexues,area postrema(AP) and neurohypophysis,and telencephalon as well as two kinds of endocrine gland:pineal gland and adenohypophysis,so as to provide morphological basis for water transport and balance,the secretion and regulation mechanisms of endocrine gland in the brain. Methods Immunohistochemical staining techniques(LAB-SA,BCIP/NBT) were used. Results AQP4 was most abundantly expressed in the tissues directly contacting with CSF,including the cerebral pia mater,ependyma lining of ventricules and the aqueductal system and choroid plexues.Heavy express of AQP4 was also found in the perivascular glial processes of the brain tissue.In addition,AQP4 was also distributed to the pyramidal cell layer of hippocampus,granular cell layer and polymorphic cell layer of dentate gyrus,adenohypophysis(intermedius included) and pineal gland cells as well as the periventricular organs such as area postrema(AP) and neurohypophysis.Conclusion The localization of AQP4 indicates that AQP4 is involved in not only the transport and balance of water,electrolyte metabolism and the regulation of secretion of the endocrine gland,but also in the neuroendocrine activity of the hypothalamus.

Objective To investigate the best time of the mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) transplantation after myocardial infarction(MI),in order to provide prophase experimental basis for treatment of the diseases correlating to cadiocyte necrosis by cells transplantation.Methods Thirty New Zealand big-ears albino rabbits,which aging were older than or equal to 36 months were selected(a 36-month rabbit is the advanced age rabbit,equaling a person 60 years old).Model of MI was made by ligating anterior descending branch.The model rabbits were randomly divided into six groups(control group,1 d group,1-week group,2-week group,3-week group;and 4-week group,n=5).200 ?L cells after marked were drawed and injected in multiple positions of myocardium after MI in 1 d group,1-week group,2-week group,3-week group and 4-week group separately.The rabbits in control group were injected with saline of equal quantity.The cardiac functional parameters,blood flow rate of atrioventricular valve and the hemodynamics at eighth week in various groups were measured.Results Compared with control group,the treatment of MSCs transplantation for MI improved the heart function.The cardiac functional parameters,blood flow rate of atrioventricular valve and the hemodynamics in 1 d group was higher than those in control group(P0.05).The cardiac functional parameters,blood flow rate of atrioventricular valve and the hemodynamics in 1-week,2-weeks and 3-weeks groups were better than those in 1 d group(P0.05).Conclusion In the condition of the same cell-density but the different time of MI,the transplantation time window is 1 d-3 weeks after MI,which is advantageous to the amelioration of heart function,the best time of transplantation was 1-3 weeks after MI.

Objective To investigate the pathogen distribution and drug resistance of gram-negative bacteria causing lower respiratory tract infections in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( AECOPD) .Methods A total of 742 sputum samples were collected from AECOPD patients with lower respiratory tract infections in Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province during January 2013 and December 2014.Vitek 2 Compact system combined with disk diffusion was used for strains identification and drug susceptibility test.Modified Hodge test and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) synergic test were used to screen carbapenem-resistant strains.Statistical analysis was performed using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 20.0 software.Results A total of 593 strains of gram-negative bacteria were isolated , in which 367 strains were nonfermentative bacteria (61.89%), 220 strains were enterobacteriaceae (37.10%), and the rest 6 strains ( 1.01%) were other gram-negative bacteria.Acinetobacter baumannii ( 186 strains ), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (99 strains), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (33 strains) and Burkholderia cepacia (22 strains ) were top 4 nonfermentative bacteria , and they all showed high resistance to ampicillin , ampicillin/sulbactam, cefazolin, ceftriaxone, cefotetan and nitrofurantoin with resistant rates of 67.20%-100.00%. Drug resistance rates to other β-lactams, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycoside, compound sulfamethoxazole and minocycline were significantly higher in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains than those in non-carbapenem-resistant strains , and the differences were statistically significant (P <0.05 or <0.01).Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Burkholderia cepacia strains were only sensitive to levofloxacin , compound sulfamethoxazole and minocycline . Klebsiella pneumonia (89 strains), Escherichia coli (80 strains) and Enterobacter cloacae (25 strains) were top 3 enterobacteriaceae , which were almost completely resistant to ampicillin , but were sensitive to piperacillin/tazobactam , cefoperazone/sulbactam , amikacin and carbapenems ( with resistant rates <15%) .More than 50%strains of extended spectrum β-lactamases ( ESBLs )-producing Klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichia coli were moderately or highly resistant to ampicillin/sulbactam , most cephalosporins ( except cefotetan and cefoperazone/sulbactam ), gentamycin, tobramycin, fluoroquinolones, aztreonam, compound sulfamethoxazole and minocycline , and the resistant rates were higher than those in non-ESBLs-producing strains (P <0.05 or <0.01).Conclusions Nonfermentative bacteria and enterobacteriaceae are the most prevalent gram-negative bacterial pathogens in lower respiratory tract infections in patients with AECOPD . Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, as well as ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichia coli strains are highly resistant to most antibacterial agents .
