Objective To investigate the risk factors for traumatic lumbar punctures in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Methods 132 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia totally received 2634 lumbar punctures. The basic data on age, sex, body mass index (BMI), platelet count, interval between two punctures, and presence or absence of ultrasound-guided procedure were collected and analyzed. The risk factors for traumatic lumbar puncture were identified by logistic regression. Results The risk for traumatic lumbar puncture was higher in children younger than 1 year, and it was relatively lower in those aged 1 to 10 years. The risk for traumatic lumbar puncture was slightly higher in children with a BMI index of more than 95. The longer the interval between two punctures, the lower the risk. If lumbar puncture was guided under ultrasound or radiographic images, the risk was much smaller. Conclusions Age of younger than 1 year, BMI index of more than 95, shorter interval between two punctures, and direct puncture can increase the risk for traumatic lumbar puncture.

The purpose of this study is to explore depression metabolic markers in rat hippocampus and to investigate the anti-depressant effect of genipin and its mechanisms using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabonomics. Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) procedure was conducted to establish the depressive rat model. At the beginning of the third week, genipin low dose (25 mg x kg(-1)), middle dose (50 mg x kg(-1)), high dose (100 mg x kg(-1)), and venlafaxine (50 mg x kg(-1)) were given to the CUMS rats separately once daily for two weeks except control and model groups. Rat hippocampus was analyzed by 1H NMR based metabonomics after drug administration for 2 weeks. Significant differences in the metabolic profile of rat hippocampus of the CUMS treated group and the control group were observed with metabolic effects of CUMS including decreasing in glycine and N-acetylaspartate, increasing in inositol, glutamate, lactate, glutamine, taurine and alanine. Genipin showed ideal antidepressive effects at a dose of 50 mg x kg(-1) in rats, decrease of inositol, glutamate, lactate, alanine were observed, while glycine and N-acetylaspartate were increased. Important influence has been found on normal nervous system function of these significant changed metabolites, which suggests that the antidepressant effect of genipin may be played by enhancing the activity of neurons in hippocampus, repairing and improving the function of the neuron. The metabonomics approach is an effective tool for the investigation of the anti-depressant effect and pharmacologic mechanisms of genipin.

Objective To compare the effect of kidney-tonifying blood-activating recipe (KBR) and Aescuven Forte Tablets ( AFT) in improving the sperm quality of varicocele-induced male sterility, thus to optimize the therapeutic therapy for varicocele-induced male sterility. Methods A total of 102 varicocele-induced male sterility with abnormal sperm parameters after conservative treatment were randomized into KBR group (N=53) and AFT group ( N=49) . KBR group was given KBR plus natural vitamin E and AFT group was given AFT plus natural vitamin E, and the treatment lasted for 8 continuous weeks. Before and after treatment, the quality of seminal fluid was analyzed, sperm quantization parameters such as total number of sperm (TNS) , total number of progressive motility sperm ( TNPS) , total number of normal form sperm ( TNNS) and total number of nor mal form and progressive motility sperm ( TNNPS) were observed, and the improvement rate of sperm quantization parameter was compared. Results (1) Before treatment, the differences of TNS, TNPS, TNNS and TNNPS were insignificant between the two groups ( P>0.05) . After treatment, TNNS was not improved in AFT group ( P>0.05) , but TNS, TNPS, TNNPS were much improved in both groups ( P<0.01 compared with those before treatment) . The improvement of KBR group was superior to that of AFT group ( P<0.05) . ( 2) The improvement rate for TNS, TNPS, TNNS, TNNPS was 90.57%, 79.25%, 67.92%, 77.36%in KBR group, and was 75.51%, 73.47%, 28.57%, 61.22% in AFT group respectively. The improvement rate for TNS and TNNS in KBR group was superior to that in AFT group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . Conclusion Varicocele-induced male sterility patients usually have the syndrome of kidney deficiency and blood stasis, so KBR, which has the function of tonifying kidney and activating blood, has synergistic action on the effect of AFT in improving sperm quality of varicocele-induced male sterility patients.

Objective To summarize the reasons of mis-diagnosis and mis-treatment of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). Methods Clinical data of 17 patients with AIP,who were admitted to the hospital from May 2005 to July 2010 and experienced mis-diagnosis and mis-treatment, were retrospectively analyzed. Results The main clinical manifestations included epigastric pain (13 cases),progressive obstructive jaundice (12 cases), fever (6 cases) and weight loss (9 cases). Fifteen patients had extrapancreatic organ involvemnet, including allergic rhinitis, swelling of lymphoglandulae submaxillares, swelling of submaxillary gland, allergic asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren syndrome, diabetes mellitus, primary sclerosing cholangitis and autoimmune hepatitis. Of these 17 cases, 11 cases presented with high serum globulin, 14 cases with high serum IgG, 13 cases with high serum γ-globulin, 13 cases with positive anti-nuclear antibody and 2 cases with positive anti-insulin IgG antibody. The abdominal imaging demonstrated that 15 patients had diffuse enlargement of the pancreas with diffuse or segmental narrowing of main pancreatic duct, narrowing of the intrapancreatic common bile duct, dilation of the proximal biliary duct and gallbladder enlargement. Focal enlargement of the pancreas was found in 2 cases. Thirteen cases were misdiagnosed as pancreatic carcinoma. Among them, 4 cases underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and 7 cases underwent choledochojejunostomy. Two cases were misdiagnosed as end stage of cancer that lost therapeutic chance. Another 4 cases were misdiagnosed as chronic pancreatitis. Steroid therapy was administered in all patients with satisfactory response. All patients were followed-up for 15 months (ranged from 6 months to 45 months), and recurrence was found in 4 cases. Satisfactory response was found in patients treated with steroid for the second time. No pancreatic cancer was found in these patients in the follow up period. Conclusion The main causes of mis-diagnosis and mis-treatment of AIP may be contributed by difficulty in differentiating AIP from pancreatic carcinoma based on clinical manifestations and inadequate knowledge of AIP as well as insufficient attention to AIP in China.
