Objective To explore the diagnosis and therapy of pulmonary fungal infection in childhood hematological diseases. Methods A retrospectively clinical analysis was carried out in 22 cases of childhood hematological diseases treated with amphotercin B and itraconazole. Results 10 out of 22 cases had the respiratory manifestations. X rays in chests showed shadows with features of stigma and sheet in 17 cases. Candida albicans and aspergillus infection were observed in 10 and 1 cases respectively. The numbers of neutrophil were below 0.5×109/L in 6 cases and below 0.1×109/L in 9 cases respectively. 18 cases were treated with glucocorticoid except for those occasionally application in blood transfusion. Intravenous dripping broad spectrum antibiotics and inhaling amphotericin B were used for more than 5 days in all cases. Itraconazole was used for more than 2 weeks after clinical symptoms were not improved 5 days later. The results showed that clinical symptoms of 13 cases were improved within two weeks and only 1 case died. Conclusion The occurrence of pulmonary fungal infection in childhood hematological diseases is associated with intensive chemotherapy, neutropenia and usage of broad spectrum antibiotics. Experimental therapy with amphotercin B and intraconzole is effective and worth of being widely spread.

This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture treatment for diabetic peripheral neuropathy.MEDLINE, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang database were searched. The study endpoints included clinical total efficacy, peripheral nerve conduction velocity and adverse reactions. The Review Manager software 5.2 was used in the bias and risk assessment as well as efficacy. GRADE profiler software was used to evaluate quality of evidences. The results showed that there were 18 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 1158 patients included. The clinical total efficacy rate of acupuncture treatment was obviously better than the drug control group [RR: 1.38, 95%CI (1.25, 1.53),P < 0.000 01]. The sensory nerve conduction velocity was that for nervus medianus, the acupuncture treatment group was superior to the drug control group [MD = 2.55, 95%CI (1.23, 3.87),P = 0.000 1]; for nervus peroneus communis, the acupuncture treatment group was superior to the drug control group [MD = 3.42, 95%CI (2.56, 4.28),P < 0.000 01]. The motor nerve conduction velocity was that for nervus medianus, the acupuncture treatment group was superior to the drug control group [MD= 4.10, 95%CI (1.01, 7.19),P = 0.009); for the nervus peroneus, the acupuncture treatment group was superior tothe drug control group [MD = 3.09, 95%CI (1.99, 4.19),P < 0.000 01]. The adverse reactions and safety indicators were that no adverse reaction was reported in both studies with no abnormal safety indicator. The quality of evidence showed that the sensory nerve conduction velocity for nervus peroneus communis was moderate; the motor nerve conduction velocities for nervus medianus and nervus peroneus communis were low. While, the clinical efficacy rate and the quality of evidence for sensory nerve conduction velocity of nervus medianus were relatively low. It was concluded that the current clinical evidences were uncertain for the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in diabetic peripheral neuropathy treatment.

Objective To explore the expression of antiapoptotic gene Aven in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and its relationship with clinical features of ALL. Methods Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of Aven mRNA in 55 cases of childhood ALL The control group included 11 childhood patients with no malignant hematological diseases. Results Aven mRNA expression was found to be higher in patients ≥10 years old and was also significantly higher in relapsed patients. Univariate and multivariate analysis indicated that Aven overexpression was an independent poor prognostic factor. Conclusion Aven mRNA expression is abnormal in childhood ALL and is an independent poor prognostic factor.

Objective To assess the effect of different ages on sufentanil pharmacokinetics in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement.Methods Sixteen NYHA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients undergoing selective cardiac valve replacement were randomly divided into two groups:elderly group (aged 65-69 years,group Ⅰ,n =8) and young adult group (aged 36-45 years,group Ⅱ,n =8).Intravenous and intra-arterial cannulae were placed.Sufentanil 5 μg/kg injected intravenously during anesthesia induction.Blood samples from the radial artery were obtained at 1,3,5,10,20,30,60,120,180,240 and 360 min after sufentanil injection (3 ml each).Then 1 ml plasma was immediately separated from the 3 ml blood sample and stored at - 80 ℃ until being assayed.Plasma sufentanil concentration was determined with liquid chromatography mass spectrometry and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with 3P97 pharmacologicl program.Results Plasma sufentanil concentration versus the time decay curve in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was fitted to a twocompartment model and could be expressed by bi-exponential equations:Cp (t) =27.4 e-0.41t + 3.2 e-0.029t in group Ⅰ and Cp (t) =14.4 e-0.51t +3.4 e-0.032t in group Ⅱ,respectively.There were significant differences in t 1/2 α,t1/2 β and CL between the two groups ( P ＜ 0.05 or 0.0l ).During CPB,plasma sufentanil concentration versus the time decay curve in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement was fitted to a three-compartment model and could be expressed by tri-exponential equations:Cp(t) =22 e-0.51t + 3.5 e-0.045t + 0.21 e-0.0029 t in group Ⅰand Cp(t) =15 e-0.52t + 3.9 e-0.048t + 0.32 e-0.004t in group Ⅱ,respectively.There were no significant differences in pharmacokinetic parameters between the two groups ( P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion There are significant differences in sufentanil phannacokinetic characteristics before CPB but different ages have no obvious influence on sufentanil pharmaco-kinetics during CPB.

A 19-year-old female presented with a dark erythematous maculopapule measuring 2 cm in diameter on the left lower limb for more than one year.Physical examination revealed an enlarged cherry-like lymph node in the right inguinal region.Histopathology of the lesion revealed that the normal structure of skin disappeared absolutely,and there was a diffuse infiltrate of medium-sized lymphoid tumor cells with unclear nucleoli.Immunohistochemically,the tumor cells strongly expressed CD4,CD56 and CD123,and partially expressed terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT).Flow cytometric analysis of bone marrow aspirates showed that abnormal cells amounted to 59.9％,and were positive for CD123st (strong),human leucocyte antigen-DRst (strong),CD56,CD304 (blood dendritic cell antigen-4),CD7,CD11b,CD33,CD36 and chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4,CD13 (dim),CD4 (partial) and CD117 (partial).Transmission electron microscopy of bone marrow cells revealed that there were massive uniformly sized lymphoid cells with thick processes on cell surfaces,a high nucleus/cytoplasm ratio,centrally located round nuclei occasionally with deep gyrus-like notches,clumped marginated heterochromatin and multiple nucleoli.Moreover,a small amount of cytoplasm was observed in the lymphoid cells with the presence of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum arranged in concentric circles,which were characteristic of plasma cells.The features of both dendritic cells and plasma cells were found in the tumor cells through transmission electron microscopy.Based on the above findings,a diagnosis of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) was made.

ObjectiveTo study the pharmacokinetics of sufentanil in patients undergoing different cardiac surgeries with or without CPB.MethodsSixteen ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients aged 56-64 yr weighing 52-78 kg undergoing cardiac surgery were divided into 2 groups ( n ＝ 8 each):group Ⅰ off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and group Ⅱ valve replacement.Radial artery and peripheral vein were cannnlated.A bolus of sufentanil 5μg/kg was administered iv after induction of anesthesia.Blood samples were obtained from radial artery at 1,3,5,10,20,30,60,120,180,240,360 min after sufentanil injection.Plasma was immediately separated and stored at - 80 C for determination of plasma sufentanil concentration by liquid c hromatography-mass spectrometry.Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by 3P97 pharmacological program.ResultsThe pharmacokinetic profile of sufentanil was best described by a three-compartment open model.The 3 exponential equations in group Ⅰ,before and during CPB in group Ⅱ were:Cp(t) ＝ 11.7 e-0.47t + 1.9 e0.043t + 0.27 e-0.0032t ; Cp(t) ＝ 33.4 e-1.87t + 7.1e-0.103t +2.0 e-0.0248t and Cp(t) ＝ 23.8 e-0.54t + 5.2 e0.054t + 0.15 e-0.0017t respectively.There was significant difference in most of the pharmacokinetic parameters between the 2 groups.ConclusionsThe pharmacokinetics of sufentanil in patients undergoing different cardiac surgeries can be described by ~compartment open model.Low cardiac function and CPB can reduce its drug metabolism rate and prolong the duration of action.

Objective To study pharmacokinetics of domestic sufentanil as a single intravenous injection in Chinese patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Methods Ten patients undergoing abdominal surgery, ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade,age from 51 to 65 years old,weighing from 58～68 kg were studied. Intravenous and intra-arterial cannulae were placed in advance. After general anesthesia, sufentanil 2 μg/kg was administered as a rapid bolus intravenously. Blood samples were obtained at 1,3,5,10,20,30,60,120,180,240 and 360 min after sufentanil injection.

To investigate whether changes of amino acid neurotransmitter releases in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (rVLM) were related to acupuncture and to the antihypertensive effect of melatonin (Mel) microinjected into the anterior hypothalamic area (AHA) of rats with stress-induced hypertension (SIH), as well as to compare and analyze the relationship between the both antihypertensive mechanisms of acupuncture and of Mel in the AHA. Methods: Animal model of SIHR was made by electric foot shocks combined with noises. Electroacupuncture (EA) was used and Zusanli acupoint of both side was selected. The technique of drug microinjection into the brain was used to observe the change of blood pressure (BP), and synchronously, brain microdialysis was performed for collecting dialysate samples, and then the concentration of amino acid neurotransmitters in the dialysate samples was determined by high performance liquid chromatography combined with fluorescent detection (HPLC-FD). Results: After the animal received stress treatment, the BP elevated, synchronously, the release of glutamate (Glu) in the rVLM increased, and when EA was performed, the elevated BP of the rats with SIH decreased,simultaneously, the release of Glu in the rVLM decreased also. After Mel was microinjected of into the AHA of the SIHR, the elevated BP attenuated, meanwhile, the release of Glu decreased,and those of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and taurine (Tau) increased in the rVLM.Administration ofbicuculline, an antagonist of GABAA receptor, into the rVLM prior to microinjection of Mel into the AHA could partially block the depressor effect of Mel in the AHA. Conclusion: The decrease in the release of Glu in the rVLM contributes to the antihypertensive effect of both acupuncture and Mel in the AHA in the rats with SIH, and the increase in the release of GABA and Tau in the rVLM is also important to Mel in the AHA.
