The serous anti-corneum antibodies(ACAs)of 50 psoriatic patients and 32 normal con- trols were measured by Biotin Avidim Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (BA-ELISA).The results showed that ACAs of patients were significantly lower than that of the controls(P

To evaluate the forensic determination of post cerebral traumatic epilepsy. Methods In 21 patients, traumatic history and previous history were analysied combined with the demonstrations of electroencephalogram(EEG), X-ray, CT and MRI. Results Post-traumatic epilepsy,manily in late stage, usually occurred following serious cerebral trauma. The type of traumatic epilepsy was determined by the traumatic location and extent. Abnormal epileptic wave in scalp EEG and 24h dynamic EEG and medical image examinations were helpful for qualitative analysis. Conclusion The forensic determination of post traumatic epilepsy must be on the basis of traumatic and previous history combined with EEG, CT and MRI analysis.

Objective To investigate and improve the methods of nasal feeding to reduce the occurrence of complication such as diarrhea and vomiting.Methods We separated 140 patients with heavy craniocerebral injury into the control group (50 patients) and the experimental group (90 patients) according to different nasal feeding methods. For the control group traditional method was used. For the experimental group infusion pump was used to control infusion rate. The incidence of complication was compared between two groups. And within experimental group, the same nutrient solutions in respect of type and volume were infused during 10 hours, 16 hours, and 18 hours respectively. The relationship between infusion rate and the occurrence of complication was observed, analyzed and compared to seek for the most suitable enteral nutrition route which incurred the least complication.Results The incidence of diarrhea and vomiting in the experimental group was lower than that of the control group. And there were no significant differences in the occurrence of complication by using infusion pump at three different infusion rates within the experimental group. Conclusions The application of infusion pump in nasal feeding can reduce the incidence of complication and infusing nutrient solution at a slow rate was not necessary.

Isocitrate dehydrogenases(IDHs)are considered as key enzymes in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Recurrent mutations in the IDH1 and IDH2 genes are recently found in several human cancers. Those point mutations specifically affect IDH1 and IDH2 active site arginine residues and confer a neomorphic enzyme function of directly catalyzing α-ketoglutarate(α-KG)to R-2-hydroxyglutarate(R-2-HG). R-2-HG can com-petitively inhibits α-KG-dependent enzymes and may therefore contribute to the occurrence and development of tumor. In addition,Mutation status of IDH1 and IDH2 are closely relative to the progress and prognosis of cer-tain tumor. Thus IDH1 and IDH2 are considered to be promising biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis and targeted therapy.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and resistance rate of clinical isolates from neonatal sepsis in Hubei hospitals.METHODS The antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical isolates from(neonates) blood culture derived from sixteen hospitals in Hubei from 2000 to 2004,was retrospectively analyzed and tested by KirbyBauer(method).RESULTS A total of 1 019 strains were isolated from blood specimens,Gram-positive and Gram(-negative)(bacteria) accounted for 93% and 7% of these isolates,respectively.The main isolates were coagulase(-negative) staphylococci(CNS,79.8%),Enterococcus spp(7.0%),Staphylococcus aureus(SAU4.5%),Klebsiella spp(1.7%),Stenotrophomonas maltophilia(1.2%),and Escherichia coli(0.9%).71.3% CNS and 19.6% SAU were meticillin resistant,46.5% enterococci resistant to ampicillin and almost strains were susceptible to(vancomycin)(except E.gallinarum).ESBLs were detected in isolates of 56% E.coli and 35% K.pneumoniae.S.maltophilia was susceptible to trimethoprim(-sulfamethoxazole) and levofloxacin with resistance rate of 8.3% and 0%.In strains of other Gram-negative rods,resistance rate to imipenem,amikacin and fluoroquinolones were detected between 0% to 15%,and to cephalosporins Ⅰ-Ⅳ were between 20% to 70%.CONCLUSIONS Gram-positive cocci are important pathogens in neonatal sepsis,antimicrobials should be used on the result of(antimicrobial) susceptibility test.It is more important to reduce health care-associated(nosocomial) infections.

Objective To investigate the FYES and FYX allele expression situation of Duffy blood group in Han population of Nanjing area.Methods The genomic DNA was randomly extracted from peripheral EDTA-K2 anticoagulation blood samples in 200 voluntary blood donors and Duffy blood group FYA and FYB allele typing was performed by PCR-SSP.The EYES and FYX allele sequence charateristics of Duffy blood group were analyzed by adopting Sanger double deoxygenation gene sequencing method.Results The PCR genotyping results were consistent with the sequencing results.Among 200 samples,180 cases were FYA/FYA and 20 cases were FYA/FYB;the sequencing results showed that FYES and FYX allele expression was not been found in 200 samples.Conclusion The expression frequencies of FYES and FYX alleles are extremely low in Han population of Nanjing area,which has significant difference compared with other races.

Objective To explore the role of halofuginone in immune regulation,observe the effects of halofuginone on maturation of dendritic cells and immune tolerance during homograft heart transplantation of rats,in order to provide new ways and means to treat transplantation tolerance and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods Rat bone marrow derived dendritic cells were isolated and the effects of halofuginone in LPS-treated DCs were investigated by flow cytometry;heart transplantation model of rats were established and the effect of halofuginone stimulated dendritic cells in the immune tolerance by pathological analysis and mixed lymphocyte reaction were observed.Results Flow cytometry results show that the expression of cell surface CD80 CD86,OX62 antigens were not high in control group,their expression increased significantly when stimulated by LPS for 24h,and decreased when stimulated by both Changshan ketone and LPS for 24h,and even lower than their expression levels in blank group,which showed that Changshan ketone has the ability to inhibit the maturation of dendritic cells induced by LPS.In rat heart transplantation model,dendritic cells stimulated with Changshan were injected into recipient rats in vivo,and receptor of rat transplantation rejection decreased significantly,which showed that dendritic cells stimulated with Changshan ketone may be used as a new method for cell therapy in treatment of transplant rejection.Conclusion This study systematically observes that halofuginone can inhibit the maturation of rat bone marrow-derived dendritic cells and lymphocyte proliferation for the first time in vivo and in vitro.

Objective To evaluate the relationship of serum thrombospondin?1(TSP?1)with the micro?inflammation in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD),and to explore its clinical prognosis value in the MHD patients. Methods A total of 84 MHD patients in our hospital were enrolled and prospectively followed for 2 years. The serum levels of TSP?1 and clinical inflammatory markers were detected. Patients were divided into groups according to different serum TSP?1 levels. The clinical inflammatory markers were detected by using ELISA analysis. Pearson simple correlation analysis method was applied to analyze the correlation between TSP?1 levels and inflammation related indicators. At the same time the prognosis and turnover of MHD patients was analyzed by using Kaplan Meier survival curve and survival rate was compared by Deleted:compared log?rank test. Cox regression analysis was used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and Deleted:using 95% confidence interval (CI). Results The indexes of blood lipid and inflammatory factors in the TSP?1 high?level groups were higher than that in TSP?1 low?level groups (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the serum TSP?1 level was positively correlated with the serum lipid and inflammatory factors. Survival curve analysis showed that the mortality rate of TSP?1 high?level group was higher than that of TSP?1 low?level groups. Cox hazards analysis revealed that the patients with high?level TSP?1 had a higher risk for mortality than these TSP?1 low?level patients. This predictive value still existed after multivariate adjustment for age,blood lipid,serum albumin and other factors (P < 0.001). Conclusion The serum TSP?1 levels were associated with micro?inflammation and had a significant value in predicating the prognosis of MHD patients.
