Objective To study the efficacy and safety of pulmonary surfactant used in hyaline membrane disease(HMD)of newborn treatment.Methods 67 cases of HMD children were treated.And pulmonary surfactant was used by intratracheal instillation.Clinical manifestation,blood gas analysis,X-ray chest film and complication before and after treatment were observed and recorded.Results 65 cases of children were recovered and discharged(97.01％),while 2 cases were dead.The PO2 increased significantly after the surfactant was given(P＜0.05),while the PCO2 decreased significantly(P＜0.05),and situation of skin cyanosis was relieved.X-ray chest films in 24 hours showed that 62 cases were improved(92.54％),while 4 cases were not obvious(5.97％),and there was hemorrhage image in the last 1 caes(1.49％).There were 5 cases of complication,involving 3 cases of pneumonia,1 case of intracranial hemorrhage and 1 case of pulmonary hemorrhage.Conclusion Clinical symptoms could be impurved rapidly,pulmonary oxygenation could be ameliorated,the need of mechanical ventilation could be lower and the rate of incidence of complication and death could be reduced effectively by using pulmonary surfactant early.

Objective Study of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) for low birth weight infant parenteral nutrition effect. Methods A total of 100 low birth weight infants were selected, and then divided into the study group and the control group with 50 cases in each group according to random number table method. The study group used PICC for intravenous nutrition support treatment, the control group using external support for the treatment of indwelling needle for nutrition week vein. Comparing the two groups of one-time success rate of catheterization, average operation time, indwelling time, incidence of complications and nutritional support before and after the treatment, the children of weight. Results The one-time success rate of catheterization between the two groups had no significant difference (P >0.05). The operation time and the indwelling time in the study group was(30.65±9.87) d, (23.47±6.38) d respectively, while in the control group was (3.26±1.09) d, (4.15±1.52) d respectively, the difference was significant between the two groups (t=19.054 and 20.829, P<0.01). The incidence of complications in the study group was 8.00%(4/50), while in the control group was 24.00%(12/50), the difference was significant between the two groups (χ2=4.76, P<0.05). There was no significant difference about weight between the two groups before and after the nutritional support treatment (P > 0.05). Conclusions Parenteral nutritional support by PICC for low birth weight infant is a more ideal way with longer indwelling time and fewer complications.

The present paper is aimed to explore the origins of Proteus mirabilis (PM) whorl swarming growth phenomenon. The whorl swarming growth phenomenon of PM was observed by changed bacterial culture inoculation time, humidity, vaccination practices, cultured flat placement, magnetic field, pH and other factors. Bacterial ring spiral direction of rotation is counterclockwise and the volatile growth process of PM was whorl swarming growth phenomenon. Spiro fluctuation phenomenon was of high frequency in the sealing tanks by cultured anytime inoculation, wherever inoculation technique applied or not, the presence or absence of the magnetic field, and wherever the dish position was. The experimental results showed that the whorl swarming growth phenomenon of PM requires specific pH environment, in which the facts may be relative to its genetic characteristics and the Earths rotation.

Objective:To investigate the activation of peripheral basophils from patients with rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) and its mechanisms. Methods:The activation markers including CD203c and the proportion of IL-4 positive rate of peripheral basophils from RA patients and healthy controls were detected by flow cytometry. Serum levels of IgE in RA patients and healthy controls were detected by electrochemilu minescence immunoassay. Basophils were negatively isolated and co-cultured with or without purified IgE,anti-IgE as positive control,then,the expression of CD203c and propotion of IL-4 positive basophils were detected by flow cytometry. Results:The expression of CD203c and IL-4 positive rate of basophils from RA patients were higher than that of healthy controls (P<0. 05). Serum levels of IgE in RA were higher than that of healthy controls (P<0. 05). After co-cultured with isolated IgE from RA patients,basophils negatively isolated from healthy controls were activated,and higher expression of CD203c and proportion of IL-4 (P<0.05). Conclusion:Basophil activation is related with development of RA,and its activation is mainly mediated by IgE. Targeting basophil and its activation pathway would be expected to provide new strategies for the treatment of RA.

Objective To conduct a prospective phase Ⅱ clinical study to explore the distribution of CYP2D6 gene polymorphism in Chinese population and its relationship with the metabolism of tamoxifen in early-stage hormonal receptor-positive breast cancer. Methods CYP2D6 genotype was tested by Sanger sequencing using the ABI 3500 Genetic Analyzer. Plasma concentrations of tamoxifen and endoxifen were measured using the HPLC-MS/MS(API 2000)assay. We downloaded the data of CYP2D6 allele from the CPIP database. Results In Chi-nese patients,the most common alleles were CYP2D6*1,*2,and *10;the predominant diplotypes were *1/*10 (38.3%)and*10/*10(18.8%). The distribution of metabolic phenotype,plasma concentration of endoxifen,and endoxifen:tamoxifen plasma concentration ratio were inconsistent between the normal metabolic phenotype(EM) and the intermediate phenotype(IM)under different CYP2D6 activity prediction criteria.The differences in the ratios and endoxifen plasma concentrations were statistically significant between the three groups by cluster analysis. Conclusions The CYP2D6 genotype distribution in Chinese population is different from that in the Western popu-lation. There is considerable variation of serum endoxifen concentration in Chinese breast cancer patients possess-ing the phenotype previously known as the intermediate active metabolizers of CYP2D6. Therefore,in the current era of precision medicine,the standard CYP2D6 genotype-phenotype classification system cannot properly stratify the Chinese population with different levels of endoxifen plasma concentration.

Objective To evaluate the effect of remifentanil on the minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane required to blunt the adrenergic response(MACBAR)in the patients with hepatic dysfunction undergoing laparoscopic surgery.Methods The patients,aged 18-64 yr,with body mass index ＜ 30 kg/m2,undergoing elective laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery,were selected.Patients with normal liver function were selected as control group(C group),and patients with liver dysfunction(Child-Pugh grade B)were selected as test group and divided into 3 subgroups by a random number table method: no remifen-tanil group(R0 group)and different target plasma concentrations of remifentanil groups(R1 group and R2 group).Anesthesia was induced by intravenously injecting propofol 2-3 mg/kg,remifentanil 2 μg/kg and cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg.After endotracheal intubation,mechanical ventilation was performed.The end-tidal sevoflurane concentration was adjusted to the preset concentration in each group and maintained at the level for 20 min before the pneumoperitoneum was established.Anesthesia was maintained as follows:remifentanil was not used in C group and R0 group,and the target plasma concentration of remifentanil was 1 and 2 ng/ml in group R1 and group R2,respectively,and sevoflurane was inhaled.The MACBAR of sevoflurane was determined using the sequential method.The initial end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations were 5.0％,4.6％,2.6％and 2.4％in group C,group R0,group R1 and group R2,respectively.MAP and HR were recorded and blood samples were collected before and after pneumoperitoneum,and the plas-ma epinephrine and norepinephrine concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and the difference in MAP and HR before and after pneumoperitoneum was calculated.Results A total of 14 cases in group C,19 cases in group R0,19 cases in group R1 and 15 cases in group R2 completed the study.Compared with group C,the MACBAR of sevoflurane and plasma adrenergic concentration before and after pneumoperitoneum were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and no significant change was found the other parameters in group R0(P>0.05).Compared with group R0,the MACBAR of sevoflurane was signifi-cantly decreased in group R1 and group R2,and HR before and after pneumoperitoneum and the difference were significantly decreased in group R2(P＜0.05).The MACBAR of sevoflurane was significantly lower in group R2 than in group R1(P＜0.05).Conclusion Remifentanil can decrease the MACBAR of sevoflurane and enhance the efficacy in inhibiting the stress responses in the patients with hepatic dysfunction undergo-ing laparoscopic surgery.

Objective To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of one booster dose of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine in young adults.Methods The subjects were selected from participants in the clinical trial of immunogenicity of inactivated and attenuated live hepatitis A vaccine in young adults.Eligible subjects were those who had received one dose of inactivated or attenuated hepatitis A vaccine,could be contacted and were sero-negative before primary vaccination.All qualified subjects were immunized with one booster dose of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine.The blood samples were collected before booster dose vaccination and 28 days after the immunization.Anti-HAV antibody titer ≥20 mIU/ml was considered to be sero-protected against hepatitis A virus.Results The GMCs in the inactivated HAV vaccine group and attenuated live vaccine group before booster dose vaccination were 70.80 mIU/ml and 50.12 mIU/ml,respectively,and the sero-protection rates were 94.7％ and 65.0％,respectively.After the vaccination of the booster dose,the sero-protection rates in both groups were 100.0％,and the GMCs were 2 816.09 mIU/ml and 2 654.55 mIU/ml,respectively.Conclusion The GMCs and sero-protection rates of anti-HAV antibody in young adults declined after three years of the primary vaccination.However,the higher GMC and sero-protection rate were observed in the inactivated vaccine group than in the attenuated live vaccine group.Significant increases of GMC levels were observed in both groups after one booster dose vaccination.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effect of different doses of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) on atopic dermatitis (AD) in mice and explore the mechanism. METHODS: Forty-two C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 7 groups ( RESULTS: Treatment with 25, 75, and 125 mg/kg DHA and dexamethasone all alleviated AD symptoms of mice, reduced the severity scores of skin lesions, and ameliorated pathological changes of the skin tissue. DHA at 125 mg/kg produced the most obvious therapeutic effect and significantly alleviated mast cell infiltration in the lesions as compared with the other treatment groups ( CONCLUSIONS DHA is effective for the treatment of AD in mice with an optimal dose of 125 mg/kg. The therapeutic effect of DHA is achieved probably through regulation of local immunity by inhibiting mast cell infiltration in the lesions.
