Necrotizing pneumonia(NP)is a serious pulmonary complication of community acquired pneumonia(CAP), and can occur in adults and children.NP was first reported in adults, and in recent years the incidence of NP in children is growing.Until now, there is little description compare the etiology, clinical manifestation, auxiliary examination, risk factors, treatment and prognosis in children and adults with necrotizing pneumonia.This article systematically reviews several aspects of NP between children and adults, which would be helpful for diagnosing and treating NP in different age groups.

Objective To explore the significance of changes of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9),interleukin-6 (IL-6),and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-oα) protein level in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of children with viral encephalitis (VE).Methods The concentration of neuron-specific enolase (NSE),structural proteins 100B (S100B),and MMP-9,IL-6,TNF-α in the CSF of VE children were detected by an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,and the correlations of them were analyzed.Results NSE,S100B,MMP-9,IL-6,TNF-α protein expression could be found significantly higher than those in the control group,and there were significant differences according to statistics expression trends(all P ＜0.05).The NSE protein expression was significantly positive related with S100B in the VE group (r =0.467,P =0.009),and the concentration was markedly negative related with the duration of viral encephalitis (r =-0.472,P =0.008).MMP-9,IL-6 protein expression were significantly positive related with NSE,S100B respectively (r =0.698,P =0.00 ; r =0.559,P =0.00 ; r =0.812,P =0.00 ; r =0.664,P =0.00).TNF-α protein expression was positive related with CSF S100B(r =0.363,P =0.049),but there was no correlation between TNF-α and NSE (r =0.245,P =0.193).Conclusions The neurons and the neuroglial cells are damaged in the viral encephalitis children.MMP-9,IL-6,TNF-α protein may participate in the pathological damage process of nerve cells in VE children in different degrees.

Background: Immune factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Clinical studies have shown that tripterygium glycosides is effective for the treatment of IBD. Aims: To investigate the effect of tripterygium glycosides on differentiation and balancing of Th17/Treg cells in rats with experimental colitis. Methods: Experimental colitis was induced by TNBS-ethanol method in rats to evaluate the therapeutic effect of tripterygium glycosides. After intragastrically administered with normal saline (model group), tripterygium glycosides or mesalazine, respectively once a day for two weeks, the disease activity index (DAI) was assessed, and the colonic mucosal injury was examined macro- and microscopically. Mononuclear cells of mesenteric lymph nodes were extracted, and the levels of Th17/Treg-related cytokines in the supernatant were detected by ELISA method. The expression of proinflammatory cytokines in colon tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results: The symptoms of experimental colitis were more severe in model group. DAI, gross morphological and histopathological score of colonic mucosal injury were significantly higher in model group than in tripterygium glycosides and mesalazine groups (P<0.05), while the therapeutic effect of tripterygium glycosides was identical to that of mesalazine (P>0.05). Compared with the model group, the levels of IL-23 and TNF-α in the supernatant of mesenteric lymph nodes mononuclear cells in mesalazine group, and the levels of IL-23, TNF-α and IL-6 in tripterygium glycosides group were significantly reduced (P<0.05). The level of TGF-β was higher in mesalazine group than in tripterygium glycosides group (P<0.05). No significant changes were observed in level of IFN-γ in all the three groups (P>0.05). In rats treated with mesalazine, the expression of IL-6 in colon tissues was down-regulated significantly (P<0.05). Conclusions: Tripterygium glycosides have the potential to inhibit the differentiation of Th17 cells and promote the differentiation of Treg cells in IBD. Regulating the imbalance of Th17/Treg cells might be one of the mechanisms of its therapeutic effect on IBD.

Objective To explore the relationship of attentional function,coping style and depressive symptoms in depression disorders.Methods Sixty-eight depression disorder and seventy-one normal healthy people were assessed by Hamilton depression scale(HAMD),coping style questionnaire and digit span forward.Independent samples t test and hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze all data.Resuits Compared with the control group,depressed patients had higher blaming(0.57 ± 0.29 vs 0.29 ± 0.25,P ＜0.01),wishful thinking(0.55 ± 0.22 vs 0.42 ± 0.26,P ＜ 0.01) and avoidant (0.63 ± 0.18 vs 0.46 ± 0.21,P ＜0.0l),lower problem solving (0.67 ± 0.23 vs 0.80 ± 0.18,P ＜ 0.01),rationalization (0.51 ± 0.20 vs 0.59 ±0.06,P＜0.01) and poorer attentional function(6.90 ± 1.65 vs 7.54 ±0.98,P＜0.01) ;but there was no significant differences in support seeking score.Hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis revealed that,even when controlling for age,sex,low score of support seeking were independently predicted attentional function impairment (β =-0.25,P＜0.05).In addition,the use of support seeking was found to mediate the relationship between digit span forward and retardation completely.Conclusion Retardation indirectly influence the attention function by the mediating of support seeking.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of cognitive dysfunction in patients with depression,and identify the correlation between cognitive dysfunction and serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) level.Methods All participants including 73 depressed patients and 71 healthy controls were received clinical and cognitive assessments at admission,the depression group was divided into two groups by the score of Beijing version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-BJ),one was depression with cognitive dysfunction group which had 36 cases,the other was depression without cognitive dysfunction group which had 37 cases.Concentration of BDNF was measured by the ELISA method.Results Cognitive impairments were found in numerous cognitive domains of depressed patients,including visuospatial and executive abilities,attention,delayed recall and orientation(P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of cognitive dysfunction in depression was 49.3％.There was not significant difference between two depressive groups (depression with cognitive disorder(12.08 ± 7.08)ng/ml,depression without cognitive disorder (12.22 ± 7.93)ng/ml,P ＞ 0.05),and the levels were significantly lower than that in healthy people ((16.55 ± 7.47) ng/ml,P＜ 0.01),and serum BDNF level had no positively relevant with different cognitive functions (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Depression patients have cognitive dysfunction in numerous cognitive domains,including visuospatial and executive abilities,attention,delayed recall and orientation.Serum BDNF level is closely related with depression,while,it has no obvious relationship with cognition function in depression.

Objective To explore the relationship between polymorphisms of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) gene (rs6265 and rs12273539) and cognitive impairment in depressive disorder.Methods All participants including 73 depressed patients and 71 healthy controls were received clinical and cognitive assessments at admission,and then the depression group was divided into two groups by the score of Beijing version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-BJ).One was depression with cognitive dysfunction group,and the other was depression without cognitive dysfunction group,with 36 and 37 cases respectively.The polymorphisms of BDNF gene was identified by PCR-RFLP.Results No significant difference for rs6265 gene types(x2=5.18,P=0.27),A allele carries (x2 =4.28,P=0.12) and G allele carries (x2 =1.95,P=0.38) among the three groups.There was no significant difference for rs12273539 gene types,allele carries between patients without cognitive dysfunction and controls groups(P＞0.05).There was much more C-allele carries (x2=5.40,P=0.02)and less T-allele(x2=6.06,P=0.01) in patients with cognitive disorder than those in health and it was different in rs12273539 gene types between the two groups(x2=8.38,P=0.02).CC/CT/CT gene type performed different on attention function (P＜0.01).Conclusion BDNF rsl2273539(T/C) gene type has relationship with the onset of cognitive disorder in depressed patients,and there are more C-allele carries in depressive patients.The depression patients with CC gene type are worse on the attention function impairement.

Objective To study the pharmacokinetics difference of levofloxacin polymorphs in rats, evaluate the advantageous medical polymorph,and explore the effects of different polymorphs on clinical medicine. Methods Four crystal forms of levofloxacin were administered intragastrically to rats,and high performance liquid chromatography( HPLC)was used to measure the contents of levofloxacin in rat plasma. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and compared Results After a single oral dose,the peak plasma concentration(Cmax)of crystal forms ofⅠ,Ⅱ,ⅢandⅣof levofloxacin was 6. 984,9. 692,9. 405,6.424 mg·L-1;the time to peak(tmax)was 0.6,0.9,1.0,1.0 h;the half-life(t1/2)was 4.207,2.97,4.857,1.695 h;theareaunderthecurve(AUC0→12h)was31.478,42.385,32.406,31.636mg·h·L-1. Conclusion Thereisnostatistically significant difference in pharmacokinetic parameters. However,compared with other crystal forms,plasma concentration of crystal form II is higher and maintained longer. Therefore,crystal form II of levofloxacin is an advantageous polymorph for medicine.

Objective To study the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1 ) and Notch signaling pathway downstream gene HES 1 in the hippocampus of pubertal rats with status epilepsy (SE), and to explore the regulation site of HIF-1αin Notch signaling pathway. Methods One hundred and seventy-six 21-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into control group (NS group), pentetrazole (PTZ)-induced SE group (PTZ group), and Notch signaling pathway speciifc inhibitor (DAPT) intervention group (DAPT group). In PTZ group PTZ was intraperitoneally injected to build SE model and in NS group normal saline was injected as control. The intraperitoneal injection of diazepam was used to terminate SE seizures. After successful modeling, the bilateral hippocampuses were isolated after the rats were sacriifced at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 h, respectively, and RT-PCR was performed to detect the mRNA expression of HES 1 and HIF-1α. The Western Blot was performed to detect protein expression in hippocampuses which were collected at 2 , 4 , 8 , 12 , and 24 h after successful modeling. DAPT group received intraperitoneal injection of DAPT 30 min before the start of molding, then the hippocampuses were isolated at 2 and 8 h after successful modeling. RT-PCR was performed to detect the mRNA expression of HES 1 and HIF-1αat 2 h, and Western blot was performed to detect protein expression at 8 h. Results At each time point after SE, the expression of mRNA of HES 1 and HIF-1αand the expression of protein were higher than the same time point of NS group (P
