Lots of evidence show a correlation between air pollution and chronic respiratory diseases, of which the effect of particulate matter is the most concerned.It is the current research hotspot that respiratory diseases in both children and adults are closely related with atmospheric pollution levels.The influence mechanisms of atmos-pheric pollution on respiratory diseases include oxidative stress, inflammation, genetic damage, etc.This paper made a review of the latest advances s on the pathogenesis of chronic respiratory diseases caused by atmospheric particulates PM2.5 .

Objective To investigate the effect of PM2.5 airborne particulate matter with a mean diameter of less than 2.5μm exposure on autophagy and explore the links between autophagy and apoptosis in human lung cancer cells(A549). Methods A549 cells were exposed to 100μg/mL PM2.5 with or without 3-MA(autophagy inhibitor)for various periods of 0、2、4、12 or 24 hrs. Autophagy in A549 cells was assessed by determining the lev-el of LC3(a known autophagy marker)using confocal microscopy. The level of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3) Ⅱ conversion and Bax (a pro-apoptotic protein) was detected by western blotting. Results The expression of LC3 and the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I in A549 cells was significantly increased and Bax was signifi-cantly decreased following exposure to PM2.5100 μg/mL for 24 h in a time-dependent manner(P < 0.05). After treated with 100 μg/mL PM2.5,the formation of LC3 in A549 cells as evidenced by the intensity of intracellular fluorescence was significantly increased ,and autophageosomes were observed around nucleus in A549 cells. Fur-thermore blockage of autophagy by 3-MA led to a significant increase in the pro-apoptotic protein Bax. Conclu-sion PM2.5 exposure induces autophagy which may protect against apoptosis induced by PM2.5 in A549 cells.

Dysfunction of the human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (hOGG1) is closely related to development of lung neoplasms and other cancers.Polymorphisms in hOGG1 gene may alter glycosylase activity,thereby affect its repair capacity to the damaged DNA,contributing to carcinogenesis.Joint effects of hOGG1 and other DNA repair gene SNPs have showed complex gene-gene interactions may significantly contribute to people's lung cancer susceptibility.HOGG1 plays an important role in maintaining mitochondrial respiration thus affects tumor cell growth.

Objective To evaluate the reliability of gas sampling from the distal end of the tracheal tube for partial pressure of end-tidal CO2 (PETCO2) monitoring in neonates.Methods A total of 50 fullterm neonates,scheduled for elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia,aged 1-28 days,weighing 2.55-4.00 kg,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =25 each) using a random number table:gas samples collected from proximal end of tracheal tube group (group P) and gas samples collected from distal end of tracheal tube group (group D).Epidural catheters of 1 mm in external diameter were used.One end of the catheter was connected to a tube for carbon dioxide sampling,and the other end was inserted into the endotracheal tube and advanced toward the distal hole of the tube.At 15 min of mechanical ventilation,blood samples were collected from the radial artery for record of PETCO2 and for blood gas analysis.Consistency test was performed between PETCO2 and partial pressure of arterial CO2 (PaCO2).Results PET CO2 was significantly lower than PaCO2 in the two groups.There was no significant difference in PaCO2between the two groups.PETCO2 was significantly higher in group D than in group P.Kappa was significantly higher in group D than in group P.Conclusion Gas sampling from the distal end of the tracheal tube is more reliable than gas sampling from the proximal end in monitoring PETCO2 in the neonates.

Allotransplantation of peripheral blood-derived hemopoietic stem cells is the best therapy for acute leukemia. With increases of only-child families, sibling donors are decreasing. Moreover, the probability is low and time consuming is long to search a matched hemopoietic stem cell donor from the Chinese Marrow Donor Program. Haploidentical stem cell transplantation would bring a hope for donor resource. However, difficult transplantation and high incidence of graft versus host disease are two risks. Based on modified regimen and cyclosporine A+short-term amethopterin, mycophenolic acid, interleukin-11, anti-lymphocyte immunoglobulin and hemopoietic stem cells mobilized by recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor can prevent graft versus host disease. This therapy succeeded in two cases with no severe graft versus host disease.

Objective To investigate the variation characteristics of adenovirus type 55 (HAdV-B55) gene on plateaus.Methods Throat swabs were collected from HAdV-B55 infected patients and used for virus isolation in HEp-2 cells.The whole-genome sequence was obtained by PCR and sequencing.HAdV-B55 gene sequence was blast with the previously reported virus.Results HAdV-B55 strains were isolated from throat swabs, which were named LS89/Tibet/2016.The whole-genome sequence was obtained and submitted to GenBank with the accession number of KY002683.No large fragment gene recombination was found between this HAdV-B55 strain and previous strains, and the sequence similarity with QS-DLL strain was 99.9%.Conclusion This study provides more information for the evolution patterns of adenovirus 55 and will contribute to the prevention and control of HAdV-B55 infection in the future.

Objective To analyse the effect of mobilization and collection's time of peripheral blood stem cells(PBSC) from 8 cases of healthy donors. Methods The 10 donors were studied by self-control design.The number of aphereses was two times every donors. Healthy donors received rhG-CSF according to two different PBSC collection starting time: group 1:PBSC collection was starts 2 hours(2 h) after the fourth day or the fifth day of rhG-CSF. group 2:PBSC collection was starts 4 hours(4 h) after the fourth day or the fifth day of rhG-CSF.(The first dose of rhG-CSF was given on day 1, considering day 0 as the day before starting mobilization). In this study we have compared with two groups of apheresis product. Results The MNC count was significantly higher for donors 4 h collection (groups 2) then 2 h. ( groups 1)(P

OBJECTIVE:To study curative effect of the combination of cyclosporine A,mycophenolate mofetil,anti-thymocyte globulin,interleukin-11 and short-term methotrexate as acute graft-versus-host disease(aGVHD) prophylaxis on HLA-matched unrelated donor or HLA-mismatched related donor allogenic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation(Allo-PBSCT).METHODS:Thirteen patients with haematological malignancies who underwent HLA-matched unrelated donor or HLA-mismatched related donor Allo-PBSCT with the combination of cyclosporine A as aGVHD prophylaxis at Haikou Municipal People's Hospital from September to November 2008 were selected,including 7 of unrelated donor,3 of haplotype transplantation,and 3 of 1-locus mismatched.The conditioning regimen was performed at 7 days prior to transplantation,with cyclosporine A 5-10 mg/(kg?d),12 hours per time with twice per day.From day 7 prior to transplantation,mycophenolic acid was intravenous drip once per day,then 2.5 mg/(kg?d) antithymocyte globulin at days 5-2 prior to transplantation,1.5 mg/d interleukin 11 was subcutaneous injected at day 2 prior to and 10 days after transplantation,followed by intravenous drip 15 mg/m2 amethopterin at day 1 and 10 mg/m2 at days 3,6,11 after transplantation.The drug doge was reduced and stopped gradually after 3-6 months,which could be prolonged for haplotype grafter.Recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was injected subcutaneously at day 3 prior to transplantation,and PBSCT was collected at days 4 and 5 after medication,which was infused to patients with subclavian vein at the same day.In total(7.82-9.11)?108/kg mononuclearcell and(2.9-7.7)?106/kg CD34+ cells were infused.RESULTS:Hematopoiesis was rebuilt in all patients with 46.15%(6/13) aGVHD incidence rate,including 8 %(1/13) of Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD.Up to April of 2009,all patients live and work as normal except one patient who can not visit public places.CONCLUSION:The combination of cyclosporine A,mycophenolate mofetil,anti-thymocyte globulin,interleukin-11 and short-term methotrexate is effective in the prevention of aGVHD.

Objective Through two nationwide sero-epidemiological survey programs on hepatitis B virus (HBV),hepatitis B markers in Yunnan province were compared between the findings in 2014 and in 2006.Results were used to understand the HBV epidemic status in Yunnan province and to estimate the efficiency of measures on prevention and control of the disease.Methods People at the age of 1-29 years were sampled from 6 counties of the National Disease Surveillance sites in Yunnan province,by multi-stage random sampling method.Demographic information was collected by questionnaire,and 2-4 ml serum sample was taken to detect HBsAg,anti-HBs,anti-HBc,HBeAg and anti-HBe,by ELISA method.Results were logged-in the database and analyzed by SPSS 17.0.Results Between the two studies,no statistically significant differences were observed on the overall HBV infection rates and the positive rates of HBsAg,HBeAg,anti-HBe,anti-HBc.Positive rate of anti-HBs in 2014 was significantly higher than that in 2006.The main two combination profiles of hepatitis B markers were through the fifth model which was positive only for anti-HBs and the sixth model which was negative for all markers in 2006,and the same in 2014.Detection rate through the fifth profile in 2014 was significantly higher than the rate in 2006,while the detection rate of the sixth profile in 2014 was significantly lower than the one in 2006.When analyzing the differences in the same age group,between the two surveys,results showed that the positive rate of anti-HBs in 2014 was significantly higher than that in 2006,in both the10-14 and the 15-19 years-old groups.Positive rate of anti-HBc in the 20-29 year-olds in 2014 was significantly lower than the one of 2006.The positive rates of HBsAg in the age groups of 1-4,5-14 and 15-29 were 1.12％,1.61％ and 1.25％ respectively,in 2014.Conclusion Prevention and control measures on HBV seemed in great progres.However,more effective prevention and control measures should be taken continually among people under the age of 15,in Yunnan province.
