International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(4):381-383
Wheezing is one of the most common respiratory symptoms in infant,which caused by diseases including bronchiolitis,interstitial pneumonia,asthma,etc.The infection of virus is the main and most important factor inducing wheezing in infants,the role of bacteria is not clear yet.In recent years,some researches found that bacteria usually colony and infect in the respiratory of children with asthmatic disease that plays important role of the wheezing prognosis in the early neonatal,but this is still controversial.So this article will overview researches of the role of bacterial colonization/infection in wheezing illness in recent years.

Objective:To understand the prevalence of caries in the children aged 12 years in Fujian Province and to compare the influence of two kinds of dental probes examinations on caries detect rate.Methods:Based on oral health investigation of WHO and national oral health survey standards,multi-stage stratified sampling was used to randomly select 792 children in Fujian province to accept examination separately by two dental probes.Results:The prevalence of dental caries of youth aged 12 years in Fujian province has no statistical significance in different gender or between city and countryside.But the caries prevalence of female was higher than that of male when used by sharp dental probe.About 23.23% was found in different detection rates when using two dental probes.Compared to the sampling investigation of Fujian province in 2000 year,the caries prevalence has no obvious increase.Conclusion:The sharp probe has higher detection rate than CPI probe.

Objective To investigate the effect of insulin glaring(IG)and neutral protamine hagedorn(NPH)on metabolic control and islet cell function in type 2 diabetic patients who secondly failed to sulfonylureas(SU)treatment.Methods Fifty-two diabetic patients with second SU failure were studied in our hospital during May,2004 to Nov,2004,and they were divided into two groups:twenty treated with glipizide extended release tablets(GERT)plus IG injection,while thirty-two with GERT plus NPH.Fasting and postprandial blood glucose,HbA_1c,fasting and postprandial C-peptide were determined in all patients at different following points.Results Blood glucose decreased obviously and similarly in two groups;however,hypoglycemia occurred less in IG group.Interestingly,fasting and postprandial C-peptide significantly increased in IG group,but didn't change in NPH group.Conclusion Combination treatment with IG or NPH has good effect on metabolic control in second SU failure patients;and moreover,IG improves B-cell function.

A magnetoelastic Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) wireless sensor was fabricated to detect S.aureus in different liquid medium.After 0.2 mL bacteria with proper concentration was taken into the tes ting cuvette containing 2 mL liquid medium, the resonance frequency of magnetoelastic sensor changed with the bacteria growth.Via changing the concentration of beef extract and peptone, sensor had the most frequen cy response in culture medium CM2-2 incubated with 2 × 10~5 cells/mL S.aureus.The results indicated that this sensor can be used to determine S.aureus concentrations of 3 × 10~3 to 2×10~7 cells/mL in culture medium and 10~4 to 10~7 cells/mL in milk, with the detection limits of 10~3 cells/mL and 104 cells/mL, respectively.The sensor frequency shift was correlated to the logarithmic value of the S.aureus concentration, and the correlation coefficient was 0.98 in milk and 0.99 in culture medium.

Objective: To compare the influence of two explorers on the enamel of artificial initial caries. Methods: Built an artificial initial caries model in vitro. Compared the influence of two explorers on the enamel of artificial initial caries. Results: 1.The holes probed by sharp explorer were deep and narrow. The holes probed by CPI explorer were shallow and wide. 2. The average strain energy produced by CPI explorer was larger than sharp explorer(Z=-2.021,P=0.043), But there was no significant difference because the strain energy produced by two explorers were in the same rate range. Conclusion: The damage on the enamel of artificial initial caries caused by sharp explorer is not larger than that caused by CPI explorer. So we suggest that the sharp explorer can still be used in sampling survey and clinical examination. But a gentle probing action is strongly recommended.

Diabetic patients with secondary sulfonylureas failure were shifted to glipizide plus glargine ( n = 20) or neutral protamine hagedorn (n =32). Sixteen weeks later, blood glucose and HbAIC were decreased and serum C peptide level increased in both groups. Hypoglycemia occurred less frequently and?-cell function was improved in glargine group.

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of a new drug for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), ticagrelor in treating the patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and to compare the effect between ticagrelor and clopidogrel in order to obtain the prospective information of ticagrelor in clinical practice.
Methods: A total of 307 STEMI patients were divided into 2 groups, Treatment group, the patients received ticagrelor with aspirin, n=157 and Control group, the patients received clopidogrel with aspirin, n=150. With a period of treatment, the major adverse cardiac events (MACE), rate of thrombosis re-formation and routine blood test result were compared between 2 groups.
Results: Treatment group presented the better LVDD, LVEF, platelet level and ST-segment recovery than those in Control group, P<0.05 or P<0.01. Treatment group showed slightly higher rate of side effect such as dififcult breathing and bleeding, while those reaction did not affect the treatment or special management for the patients.
Conclusion: The clinical effect of ticagrelor is similar to clopidogre for improving the platelet level and cardiac function in STEMI patients, while the clinical advantage reported in abroad should be further studied.

Objective Rab11 GTPases play an essential role in regulating membrane trafficking pathways in eukaryotic cells. Nonetheless, there has been little work done on characterizing the transport machinery of Trichomonas. The aim of this study is to clone and characterize a Rab11 gene of Trichomonas vaginalis.Methods A cDNA expression library was constructed with T. vaginalis total RNA. A cDNA clone, which showed a high degree of homology with Rab proteins of different species, was isolated and sequenced. Sequence analysis was performed using BLASTP, RPS-BLAST and ClustalW programs. The genomic DNA corresponding to the cDNA sequence was amplified using PCR techniques and following by sequencing. Results cDNA with a length of 710 base pairs and an open reading frame of 636 bp was obtained. The deduced amino acid sequence from the open reading frame was found to possess 211 residuals. Sequence analysis demonstrated that this cDNA clone was homologous to the Rab11 subfamily of different species (60% identity and 79% similarity with Arabidopsis thaliana Rab11c, 58% identity and 78% similarity with human Rab11b), and that the amino acid sequence contains all the well known conserved sequence elements of Rab family. Specific Rab motifs were also detected in the deduced amino acid sequence. Phylogenetic analysis showed that its closest homologues are Rab11 proteins from other species. Sequencing of the PCR product of genomic DNA revealed that the genomic DNA sequence encompassing the putative 5'-ATG and 3'-stop codon is identical to the cDNA sequence.Conclusion A cDNA clone corresponding to the T. vaginalis Rab11 gene was obtained.The function of this gene in regulating membrane trafficking pathways of the parasitic protist is still under investigation.

To identify the gene differentially expressed in female Anopheles anthropophagus and to analyze its gene sequence, this gene amplified by PCR was identified by real-time PCR and its cDNA was then amplified with rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technology. It was found that the expression ratio of the female differentially expressed gene in female and male mosquitoes was 267.49 according to the formula F=2~(-⊿⊿CT).The size of mRNA of the gene was 364 bp, and the amino acid sequence deduced from the open reading frame (ORF) was found to be similar to the sequence of tectin protein of Culex quinquefasciatus and proteins of other species. The mRNA sequence of this gene was submitted to NCBI with a accession number of FJ907236. This gene may provide a foundation for further studies on the biological functions of mosquitoes.
