Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of myocardial enzymes on the cardiac muscle injury for the children with acute mycoplasma pneumonia(MP).Method The levels of phosphocreatine kinase-MB(CK-MB),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)in 48children with MP(MP group)were measured,48 normal children served as control group.Results The levels of AST,LDH,CK-MB were(37.18±6.15),(294.10±46.20),(84.50±13.70)U/L in acute stage in MP group,they were higher than those in control group[(25.14±10.50),(140.50±76.21),(19.50±4.10)U/L](P＜0.01).All the values above was descended in recovery phase in MP group,but the values of CK-MB[(27.80±8.40)U/L]and LDH[(189.50±69.73)U/L]were still higher than those in control group(P＜0.01 or＜0.05).Conclusions Children with MP may combine myocardial injuries and CK-MB isa parameter to diagnose the damage.Protection therapy for cardiac muscle should be performed on the children with MP.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of Fas ligand (FasL) gene transfer to renal allografts in rats. Methods FasL recombinant adenovirus vector was contruccted and transduced into rat renal allografts by renal artery perfusion. RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were use d to detect the expression of exogenous FasL gene. Electronic microscopy was use d to observe the changes in the ultra-structure. At the same time, mean surviva l of animals and the level of serum creatinine were observed. Results FasL mRNA and protein were positively expressed in FasL gene transduced renal al lografts. FasL protein mainly distributed in renal small artery, glomerular and proximal tubues. FasL transduced allografts had less renal graft rejection and c hange in the ultra-structure, and prolonged allograft survival and lower serum creatinine as compared to control animals (P

Objective To investigate the high-risk factors leading to a poor prognosis of small renal cell carcinoma, and provide theoretical basis for the individualized treatment regimen. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the clini?cal and histological data of 18 patients with small renal cell carcinoma treated in the Department of Urology of the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from January 2004 to July 2015. All the patients underwent ultrasound, plain and en?hanced CT examinations, also, received the surgeries. The tumor diameters, pathological types, pathological stages, Fuhrman grading of tumors and the prognosis of patients were analyzed. Results Preoperative CT examination revealed that 18 pa?tients with the average tumor diameter of (3.1 ± 0.6) cm (ranged 2.0 to 4.0 cm). Five patients were diagnosed as T1aN0M0, 4 patients with T1aN0M1 (3 cases with lung metastasis, 1 case with brain metastasis), 3 patients with T1aN1M0 (CT examina?tion showed a lymph node metastasis), 6 patients with T3aN0M0 (renal vein invasion or renal vein tumor thrombus). Patholog?ical examination after surgery showed that 12 patients were Fuhrman gradeⅡ, 5 were gradeⅢand 1 was gradeⅣ;15 cases were clear cell carcinomas, 1 case was papillary carcinoma, 1 was hybrid cellular tumor (malignant rhabdoid tumor with sar?comatoid differentiation) and the last case was sarcomatoid carcinoma renal cell carcinoma (Fuhrman grade V). 4 patients (T3a, Fuhrman grade Ⅱ) underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and the remaining underwent laparo?scopic radical nephrectomy. The median follow-up time was 22.5 months (ranged 6 to 48 months). Four cases died (2 cases with tumor diameters of 3.8 cm and 4.0 cm at preliminary diagnosis,2 cases with sarcomatoid renal carcinoma and 1 with brain metastasis), 1 case was lost. Other patients were found no tumor recurrence and metastasis. Conclusion The small re?nal cell tumor with diameter≥3.0 cm, FuhrmanⅢ/Ⅳgrade,sarcomatoid cancer or metastasis should be considered as high-risk factors of small renal cell carcinoma. The high-risk small renal cell carcinoma is heterogeneous in its biological behav?ior, which is expressed as aggressive growth and early invasion of renal tissue and even metastasis. The individualized treat? ment should be made based on preoperative imaging findings and postoperative pathology.

The effects of targeted silencing of heparanase gene by small interfering RNA (siRNA) on invasiveness and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells (MG63 cells) were investigated in the present study. Two complementary oligonucleotide strands were synthesized and inserted into pGenesil-1 vector based on the mRNA sequence of heparanase gene. The expression vector containing short hairpin RNA (pGenesil-shRNA) was constructed successfully. MG63 cells were randomly allocated into 3 groups: blank group, empty vector (pGenesil) transfected group and expression vector (pGenesil-shRNA) transfected group. Under the induction of Lipofectamine 2000, the recombinants were transfected into MG63 cells. Heparanase gene expression level was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay. Cell invasiveness and metastasis were examined by cell adhesion and Transwell-ECM assays. HUVECs migration assay was applied for the detection of angiogenesis. As compared with negative controls, the mRNA and protein expression levels of heparanase were down-regulated by 76.1% (P<0.01) and 75.3% (P<0.01) respectively in the pGenesil-shRNA transfected group. Meanwhile, the proliferation, adhesiveness, invasiveness and angiogenesis properties of MG63 cells were all significantly inhibited. It was suggested that targeted silencing of heparanase gene by siRNA could dramatically inhibit the invasiveness and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells.

Objective To evaluate the effect of 17β estradiol pretreatment on inflammatory responses during propofol-induced apoptosis in hippocampal nerve cells of developing rats.Methods Thirty-nine pathogen-free healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 7 days,weighing 11-18 g,were divided into 3 groups (n =13 each) using a random number table:fat emulsion group (group F),propofol group (group P) and propofol plus 17β estradiol group (group P+E).Propofol 75 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected once every 24 h for 7 consecutive days in group P,and the equal volume of fat emulsion was given instead in group F.In group P+E,17β estradiol 600 μg/kg was subcutaneously injected,and 30 min later propofol 75 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected once every 24 h for 7 consecutive days.The rats were sacrificed at 24 h after the last injection,the brains were removed and hippocampi were isolated for determination of activated caspase-3 expression (using Western blot) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) contents (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).Results The levels of activated caspase-3,IL-1β and TNF-α in hippocampi were significantly higher in group P than in group F (P＜ 0.05).The levels of activated caspase-3,IL-1β and TNF-α in hippocampi were significantly lower in group P+E than in group P (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which 17β estradiol pretreatment inhibits propofol-induced apoptosis in hippocampal nerve cells is related to inhibition of inflammatory responses of developing rats.

Objective To discuss the risk factors and nursing intervention of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infection in patients of traditional Chinese medicine hospital (TCM). Methods By investigating the patients admitted to Beijing Xuan Wu Hospital of Traditional Chinese medicine from June 2015 to June 2016, 756 patients of them who were confirmed with clinical diagnosis of infection and pathogen detection with positive, which were divided into MDRO group including 97cases and non-MDRO group including 659 cases, then the pathogens of MRDO infection species and distributionwere counted, and analyzed risk factors for infection. Results A total of 756 cases were detected positive strains 816 strains, including 611 strains of monitoring target strains, 116 strains of MRDO. The top three were methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aurous 30.17%(35/116), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 18.97% (22/116) and Klebsiella pneumonia 18.10% (21/116). Single factor analysis results showed that the patients' age, hospitalization days, the history of other hospital admission, invasive procedure, basic chronic disease (diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, lung disease) and combined use of antibiotics were MDRO infection risk factors (χ2=9.470-198.609, P < 0.01); multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors of MDRO infection were the history of other hospital admission (OR=2.085, 95%CI1.040-4.179), invasive procedure (OR=3.063,95% CI1.526- 6.150), diabetes (OR=2.037,95% CI1.070- 3.877), cerebrovascular disease (OR=4.349,95%CI 2.035-9.293)and combined use of antibiotics (OR=18.723,95% CI9.202-38.094). Conclusions Patients of TCM have many characteristics, such as with more basic diseases, longer length of stay, elder and so on. So we should be alert to the risk of MDRO infection and take nursing interventions to prevent and strengthen the isolation prevention.

Objective Dexmedetomidine is known to have a neuroprotective effect.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on ketamine-induced apoptosis of primarily cultured cortical neurons and its action mechanisms. Methods Rat cortical neurons were primarily cultured for 7 days and treated with ketamine (100μmol/L) and different concentrations of dexmedetomi-dine (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 1 μmol/L) for 24 hours, followed by measurement of the viability of the neurons by MTT assay.The neurons were divided into four groups:vehicle control, ketamine ( trea-ted with 100 μmol/L ketamine), dexmedetomidine+ketamine (DD+K, treated with 0.1 μmol/L DD and 100 μmol/L ketamine), and LY294002 ( treated with 0.1 μmol/L DD, 100 μmol/L ketamine, and 10 μmol/L LY294002) .After 24 hours of treatment, the apoptosis rate of the neurons was determined by Hoechst33258 staining, and the expressions of pAkt and cleaved-caspase-3 in the neu-rons detected by Western blot. Results The apoptosis rate of neurons was dramatically increased in the LY294002 and ketamine groups in comparison with the vehicle control and DD+K groups ([36.8 ±4.4] and [43.4 ±4.5]%vs [7.5 ±1.1] and [16.4 ± 3.6]%, P<0.01), the pAkt level remarkably decreased (0.26 ±0.02 and 0.15 ±0.01 vs 0.61 ±0.05 and 0.50 ±0.04, P<0.01), and the expression of cleaved caspase-3 significantly upregulated in the former two as compared with the latter two groups (0.40 ±0.02 and 0.65 ±0.03 vs 0.10 ±0.02 and 0.12 ±0.01, P<0.01). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine exerts a neuroprotec-tive effect against ketamine-induced apoptosis of neurons by activating the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND: Choriocarcinoma is a kind of trophoblastic neoplasm with highly aggressive phenotypes. Forkhead box D3 (FoxD3) is an embryonic and trophoblastic stem cel transcription factor. It plays important roles in different physical and pathological situations such as embryogenesis, carcinogenesis and tumor progression.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of FoxD3 in choriocarcinoma malignancy and the possible mechanism.
METHODS:The human choriocarcinoma JAR cel line was employed in this study. The mRNA and protein expressions of genes were measured by quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot, respectively. The FoxD3 specific short hair RNA was applied to down-regulate gene expression. The cel proliferation was evaluatedin vitro by cel counting assay andin vivo by tumor growth. The migration/invasion was determined by transwel assay. The profile of FoxD3 targeted genes was investigated with an Agilent microarray and verified by qRT-PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The FoxD3 mRNA and protein expressions in JAR cells were significantly higher than those in primarily cultured normal trophoblastic cells. Knockdown of FoxD3 by short hair RNA in JAR cells could inhibit cell proliferation and migration/invasionin vitro, and suppress thetumor growth with decreased β-human chorionic gonadotropin secretionin vivo. A profile of seven focal adhesion molecules (ITGA5, ITGB6, THBS4, COL6A3, VTN, NRXN3 and NLGN1) was verified to be targeted by FoxD3. Furthermore, knockdown of FoxD3 by short hair RNA could decrease the activation of focal adhesion kinase. All these findings suggest the overexpression of FoxD3 can contribute to the aggressive phenotype of choriocarcinoma JAR cells by regulating the profile of focal adhesion molecules and focal adhesion kinase.

Objective To discuss the efficacy of the flexible ureteroscopy combined with Holmium laser lithotripsy for kidney calculi with HIV positive patients.Methods From May 2015 to May 2016,47 cases of patients with renal calculi were treated by the flexible ureteroscopy combined with Holmium laser lithotripsy in our hospital.There were 29 cases male,18 cases female,aged from 22 to 56 years old,average 39 years.There were 38 cases with single stone,9 cases with multiple stones.There were 9 cases with stones on both sides.Flexible ureteroscopy channel sheath was used in surgery.Stones were fragmented by Holmium laser.During one-month follow-up after surgery,stone removal and stone free rate were recorded.Residual stones were re-treated with a secondary lithotripsy or ESWL.Results The flexible ureteroscopy channel sheath was indwelled successfully in all the cases.All stones were detected.The average operation time was 63min (range,42-141min) and the median postoperative stay was 4.5days (range,2-16 d).Among the 47 patients,41 patients underwent first-stage lithotripsy,6 patients underwent second-stage ESWL after lithotripsy,and 1 patient underwent third-stage lithotripsy.The one-month stone free rate was 87.2％ (41/47).The total stone free rate was 97.9％ (46/47) after second-stage lithotripsy.Postoperative fever occurred in 4 cases after lithotripsy.No blood transfusion,systemic infection,ureteral perforation,or ureteral avulsion occurred.The total complication rate was 8.5％ (4/47).The mean number of CD4 +T lymphocytes before lithotripsy was 402/μl,and was 410/μl 3 days after lithotripsy.There was no Statistical differences between them.Conclusions Flexible ureteroscopy combined Holmium laserlithotripsy could be a safe and effective treatment for kidney calculi patients with HIV/AIDS positive.
