Objective To investigate the effect of Ambroxol on NF?B activation of macrophage in the induced sputum in patients with stable COPD.Methods Induced sputum was taken from 47 stable COPD patients,who were divided into two groups randomly.Macrophages were collected,and NF-?B activation and IL-8 of induced sputum were determined by immunohistochemistry;SOD and MDA were determined synchronously.Results NF-?B activation in macrophage and IL-8 in the treated group were significantly decreased in patients of stable group than those in the controls.Conclusion Ambroxol can decrease NF-?B activation in macrophage in stable COPD patients.

【Objective】 To identify the main factor or factors w hich contribute to recurrent early spontaneous abortion for clinical diagnosis a nd treatment. 【Methods】 69 cases received the screening examination including inherent, endocrine, anatomical, infective, immunological and contamination hist ory poison metabolic factors, then analyses all factors. 【Results】 Analysing the single factor effecting th e recurrent early spontaneous abortion in the above 7 factors, we found the immun ological factor was 86.2%. Furthermore the immunological factor had significant difference in the various aged groups. 【Conclusion】 Immunological factor is a main factor in recurrent early spontaneous abortion. The immunological factor b ecomes significantly important as the times of spontaneous abortion increasing.

Objective To compare the clinical effects of hemiarthroplasty and dynamic hip screw (DHS) in treatment of unstable femoral intertrechanterie fractures in the elderly. Methods A total of 62 elderly patients with unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures treated from January 2004 to April 2007 were randomly divided into DHS group and hemiarthroplasty group, with 31 patients in each group. The patients were foLlowed up to compare the clinical effects between two groups. Results Of all, 58 patients ( including 28 patients in the hemiarthroplasty group and 30 in DHS group) were followed up for 13-49 months. The mean operation time was ( 76.07 ± 6.29 ) minutes in hemiarthroplasty group and ( 117.50 ± 8.88 ) minutes in DHS group ( P < 0.05 ). The mean blood loss during operation was (305.36±34.26) ml in hemiarthroplasty group and (431.67±53.31) ml in DSH group (P<0.05). The postoperative complications occurred in three patients in hemiarthroplasty group and 10 in DHS group, with statistical difference ( P < 0. 05 ). The Harris score for hip function was ( 85.46 ± 3.05 ) points in hemiarthroplnsty group and ( 79.73 ± 2.57 ) points in DHS group, with no statistical difference between two groups ( P > 0.05 ). Conclusions DSH is still one of effective methods for patients with unstable femoral intertrochanterie fractures. Hemiarthroplasty can diminish bleeding during operation, help walk earlier and reduce complications and is a better selection for the elderly patients with osteoporosis and unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures. However, hemiarthroplasty can not replace DHS.

The pathogenesis of psoriasis is very complex,involving multiple genes,cells, and factors. These factors signal layer by layer through a series of cascade reactions,thus forming many biological pathways of disease occurrence. The study of the psoriasis-related signaling pathway has become the core way of disease mechanism exploration and drug intervention. Among all the signaling pathways related to psoriasis,Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription protein (STAT) signaling pathway is the top classic one. The JAK/STAT signaling pathway has been selected and amplified in the long-term evolution of the transmission of cellular signaling. It participates in inflammation,immune regulation, and other links of diseases because of its simplicity and stability. Taking the JAK/STAT signaling pathway as the entry point and breakthrough can facilitate the summarization and discovery of the regulation modes of upstream and downstream targets under the micromechanism of psoriasis,and continuously promote the exploration and understanding of the mechanism of psoriasis. This study analyzed the targets of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway with the participation of Chinese medicinal compound preparations with clearing,resolving, and tonifying effects and monomers and main components,such as Ephedrae Herba,indirubin,magnolol,ginsenoside CK,shikonin,paeoniflorin,paeonol,and Tripterygium wilfordii glucosides. The results were integrated into the JAK/STAT signaling pathway family subtypes under the action of different inducers such as interleukin (IL)-6,IL-21,IL-22,IL-23,interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and suppressors of cytokine signaling 1/3 (SOCS1/3) for the first time. Meanwhile, taking JAK/STAT signaling pathway as a specific reference means,this study discussed the differences in expression in the classification of psoriasis based on blood aspect and regional patient groups to provide references for further exploration of the mechanism and clinical targeted diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis.

Objective To investigate the incidence of neonatal hyperphenylalaninemia(HPA)and analyze the characteristics of HPA gene mutations in the Yangzhou area.Methods From Janu-ary 2013 to December 2022,285,549 newborns in Yangzhou were screened for HPA using either the ninhydrin fluorescence method or tandem mass spectrometry.Urinary pterin analysis,erythrocyte di-hydrobiopterin reductase activity measurement and genetic diagnosis were performed to screen positive individuals.Results A total of 29 cases were confirmed as HPA,including 3 cases of tetrahydro-biopterin(BH4)deficiency and 26 cases of phenylalanine hydroxylase(PAH)deficiency.The over-all incidence of HPA in Yangzhou was 1/9,847,with the incidence of PAH deficiency being 1/10,983,which were slightly higher than the national average but lower than other regions in Jiangsu Prov-ince.Among the cases,13(44.83%)were classic phenylketonuria(PKU),7(24.14%)were mild PKU,and 6(20.69%)were mild HPA.Sixteen patients with PAH gene mutations were all com-pound heterozygotes,with one case exhibiting three-site mutations.PAH gene mutations were predomi-nantly missense mutations,primarily concentrated in exon 7,followed by exon 6,with E7 c.728G>A(21.21%)being the most frequent mutation.Three cases of BH4 deficiency were detected with PTS gene mutations,including 1 homozygous mutation and 2 compound heterozygous mutations.E5 c.259C>T was the high-frequency PTS mutation gene in Yangzhou.Conclusion HPA has a certain incidence in Yangzhou,with classic PKU being the predominant type.This study clarified the characteristics of PAH and PTS gene mutations in Yangzhou,enriching the HPA gene database.

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a traumatic disease that has transient impairment of consciousness and memory function after an external force to the head with basically normal neurological function and neuroimaging examination results. At present, research on mTBI is insufficient, resulting from early diagnosed difficulty of mTBI patients (due to mild clinical manifestations) and not suitable traditional diagnosis and treatment evaluation methods. This article reviews the research progress in the pathogenesis, auxiliary examinations, treatment principles and related diseases of mTBI, aiming to provide new theoretical basis for diagnosis and treatment of mTBI.
