ObjectiveTo explore the changes of serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF- α ) levels,and the relationship with creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) in children with viral myocarditis induced by coxsackie virus type B,and its clinical significance.MethodsSerum MIF,IL-6 and TNF- α levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 58 cases with viral myocarditis induced by coxsackie virus type B in acute phase (viral myocarditis group) and 40 cases hospitalized children (control group).CK-MB was measured by Hitachi 7180 fully automated clinical chemistry analyzer.ResultsSerum MIF,IL-6 and TNF-o levels of viral myocarditis group [ (59.15 ± 25.35 ),(68.52 ± 12.78 ),(85.31 ± 34.18) ng/L] were significantly higher than those of control group [ ( 36.78 ± 12.06 ),( 28.75 ± 16.03 ),( 52.91 ± 14.39 ) ng/L ] (P ＜ 0.01 ),and CK-MB of viral myocarditis group [(46.74 ± 23.89) U/L] was also significantly higher than that of control group [ ( 19.23 ± 11.56 ) U/L ] (P ＜ 0.01 ).There was positive correlation in children with viral myocarditis between MIF,IL-6,TNF- α and CK-MB (r =0.74,0.63,0.69,P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsIt suggests that immune dysfunction exist in children with viral myocarditis induced by coxsackie virus type B.MIF,IL-6 and TNF- αmight take part in development of myocarditis,and the detection of them can evaluate severity of myocarditis.

Objective To explore the rising degree of hemodiastase,lipase and the relationship with acute pancreatitis with diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA).Methods 36 diabetic ketoacidosis patients with increased trypsin were divided into non pancreatitis group(20 cases)and pancreatitis group(16 cases)based on the results of abdominal CT.And the blood amylase,urine amylase,blood fat enzyme levels of the two groups were measured and compard.Results The blood amylase of the pancreatitis group was(275.0±10.5)U/L,and that of pancreatitis group was(615.4±17.8)U/L,the difference between two groups was obvious(P＜0.01);The blood lipase of pancreatitis group was(2125.0±50.4)U/L,and that of pancreatitis group was(2021.0±19.8)U/L,there was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The blood amylase and abdominal CT results compliance high.Conclusion Pure DKA can cause diabetes pancreatic enzyme increases,and in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis,the specificity of blood amylase is high.

Objective:To observe the clinical treatment effects of Tangkang Xifang in the patients with type 0 diabetes foot ( DF) . Methods:Totally 73 patients with type 0 DF were randomly divided into the treatment group (n=37) and the control group (n=36). All the patients discontinued other medications for 7d before the treatment. Base on the blood glucose control with the traditional treat-ment by metformin hydrochloride (1. 5 g·d-1), the treatment group was additionally given warm water foot bath with Tangkang Xi-fang, while the control group was additionally given warm water foot bath, 30 min per time and twice a day for 60 days. The changes in the clinical symptoms, ankle brachial index ( ABI) , motor nerve conduction velocity ( MCV) and some other indices were measured before and after the treatment. Results:In comparison with the control group (58. 3%), the treatment group had higher total effective rate (86. 5%), and the usage of Tangkang Xifang also significantly improved the physiopathologic syndromes of peripheral artery dis-ease and neuropathy (P<0. 01). The ABI and MCV in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion:Tangkang Xifang can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of type 0 DF, which is suitable for the clinical application.

Objective To investigate the effect of the lack of intestinal bile on liver regeneration after hepatectomy.Methods The model of interference with intestinal bile acid metabolism in rats was established by feeding rats with 0.2% cholic acid(cholic acid loading group), 2% cholestyramine resin(lack of bile group)and feeding the standard diet as the control group.Liver regeneration was compared among the 3 groups at 0, 1, 2, 3, and 7 d after 70% partial hepatectomy(PH)in rats and mRNA expression of the rate-limiting enzyme of bile acid biosynthesis(CYP7a1)and farnesoid X receptor (FXR)were detected.Results The rate of liver regeneration was significantly lower on days 3 and 7after PH in the lack of bile group than in the other groups(P＜0.05).On day 1, the labeling indices of PCNA and Ki-67 in the lack of bile group(22.21% ±2.31%、 17.25 % ± 6.50 %)were lower than those in the cholic acid loading group(44.4%±4.92%、 30.83% ± 3.91%)and control group (38.74% ±6.42% 、27.04% ±7.22%)and the peaking of labeling indices was delayed.After PH, the mRNA expression of FXR was significantly lower in the lack of bile group than in other groups.However, CYP7al mRNA had a trend towards increase after PH and was higher than that in other groups.Conclusion Lack of intestinal bile results in delayed liver regeneration of normal rat liver accompanied by decreased expression of FXR mRNA after hepatectomy.

Twenty cases of infantile eczema were treated by combination of Tuina therapy and Western medications, and 18 cases were treated by Western medications. The therapeutic effective rate was respectively 100% and 90.0% in the two groups, with a difference between them (P＜ 0.01).

Abnormal expression of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine like 1 (SPARCL1 )gene is closely related to the development,metastasis and prognosis of a variety of tumors.Recent studies show that SPARCL1 gene is high expressed in glioma.The protein product of SPARCL1 gene encoded can interact with collagen,thus affecting the metastasis ability of tumor,which is positively correlated with tumor malignant de-gree.SPARCL1 gene is low expressed in gastric cancer,colorectal cancer,prostate cancer and breast cancer, which is negatively correlated with the invasion and metastasis abilities of tumors.At present,the role of speci-fic molecular mechanisms of SPARCL1 gene remains controversial. The expressions and functions of SPARCL1 gene in tumor tissues seem to depend on the tumor microenvironment.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma(ACC) of the salivary gland constitutes approximately 21.9%-24.0% of all salivary gland malignant tumors,and is described as a tumor with indolent,but persistent and recurrent,growth and late onset of metastases,leading eventually to death.This review focuses on the advances in the studies of the diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of ACC in the recent years.
