Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of myocardial enzymes and high sensitive C-reactive protein( hs-CRP) in children with herpangina. Methods A total of 80 children with herpangina( obser-vation group,n=80),at the same time,50 healthy children as control group(n=50)were assigned for the detec-tion of myocardial enzymes(AST,LDH,CK,CK-MB)and hs-CRP. Results The elevated CRP levels were found in 45(56. 25%)patients of observation group and 2(4%)patients of the control group,showing statistical significance(χ2 =31. 55,P<0. 01). Abnormal myocardial enzyme levels were observed in 59(73. 75%)cases, which included AST 51. 6%, CK 40. 1%, CK-MB 21. 4%, LDH 72. 2%. Abnormal myocardial enzyme levels were observed in 6(12%) cases of control group,which included AST l6%,CK 10%,CK-MB 4% and LDH 12%. The significant differences were observed between the two groups ( P<0. 01 ) . Conclusion Herpangina children may have different degrees of myocardial damage. Myocardial enzymes and hs-CRP are useful indicators for myocardial injury which may effectively provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the incidence of anxiety in patients with breast cancer,and further explore the surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI) technology' s clinical value in the diagnosis of anxiety.Methods 121 breast cancer patients were selected as research objects by using convenience sampling method.Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) was used to evaluate the anxiety on the first day of admission and SELDI was used on the next day to detect the serum from patients' fasting venous blood sample got in the morning after their consent,then anxiety-related protein fingerprints spectrums were selected.The SAS score and SELDI result were finally compared and analyzed.Results SAS score in 121 patients was 53.45±9.78,anxiety occurred in 63 cases (52.07 ％).Established the diagnostic model between 15 000+H and 16 800+H protein fingerprints abundance ≥5 ％,that was to say,abundance ≥5 ％ was judged as positive,otherwise negative.On this basis,patients can accurately be distinguished between anxious group and non-anxious group.Correct rate (total coincidence rate) was 91.74 ％,specificity and sensitivity respectively were 89.66 ％ (52/58) and 93.65 ％ (59/63),the positive predictive value was 90.77 ％ (59/65),and negative predictive value was 92.86 ％ (52/56).Conclusions Breast cancer patients have a high incidence of anxiety.SELDI technology has showed high sensitivity and specificity in anxiety detecting.As an objective assessment tool,it could have better prospects for clinical use.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of free fatty aids (FFAs) on the apoptosis and migration of human breast cancer cells ( MDA-MB-231 ).MethodsBreast cancer cells were exposed to oleic acid (OA) and palmitic acid (PA) with different concentrations (50,200,and 500 umol/L).Quantity RT-PCR was conducted to detect mRNA expression of PTEN,and Western blot to detect protein expression of PTEN and Bcl-2.Cell apoptosis was measured with TUNEL method,and migration measured with transwell method.ResultsThe mRNA and protein expressions of PTEN in MDA-MB-231 cells were down-regulated after OA stimulation,but up-regulated after PA stimulation ( all P ＜ 0.05 ).The protein expression of Bcl-2 increased after OA stimulation and decreased after PA stimulation ( both P ＜ 0.05 ).PA increased the apoptosis,and both OA and PA enhanced the invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells.ConclusionsPA may promote apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells through changing the expression of the tumor suppressor PTEN,but also increases the invasion of the cancer cells.The invasion of cancer cells could be enhanced by OA stimulation as well.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of Trk(tropomyosin receptor kinase) and Akt(protein kinase B), and to explore the neuroprotective role and its mechanism of β-NGF (β-nerve growth factor) after focal cerebral ischemia. Methods A focal cerebral ischemia rat model was made and β-NGF was injected intra abdominally. The phosphorylation of Trk and Akt were tested by immunocytochemistry and Western blot assay. Results Trk receptor was increased obviously in the penumbra area after 8 h of infarction. The level of phosphorylated Trk(p-Trk) was increased after 2 h of infarction, while the level of phosphorylated Akt(p-Akt) had a decrease and then recovered gradually. The level of p Akt in cerebral ischemia group was decreased by 76.5% compared with that in control group after 8 h of infarction(P<0. 01). After the injection of β-NGF, the level of p-Trk was increased by 74.4% after 12 h of infarction(P<0.01), while the level of p-Akt was recovered significantly after 8 h of infarction, and had no statistical difference compared with the control group after 24 h of infarction (P>0.05). Conclusions Ischemia induces the activation and increased expression of Trk receptor, andβ-NGF may play a protective role in cerebral ischemia by increasing the phosphorylation of Trk and regulating the phosphorylation of Akt.

Objective To identify the function and mechanism of MR1 in proliferation of BEL-7402 cells.Methods siRNA targeting MR1 and negative control siRNA were synthesized and transfected into BEL-7402 cells using Lipofectamine 2000.The silencing effect of MR1 siRNA was determined by semi-RT-PCR.SRB assay,colony formation assay and growth curve assay were used to investigate whether MR1 siRNA regulated cellular proliferation.Cell cycles were assessed by flow cytometry.G2 arrest reagent nocodazole was used to show the potential effect of MR1 siRNA on G1 arrest.The expression of Cyclin D1 was determined by Western blotting.Results(1)MR1 mRNA significantly decreased in BEL-7402 cells 24 h after MR1 siRNA transfection.(2)MR1 siRNA induced the down-regulation of cell growth.The expression of Cyclin D1 in MR1 siRNA tranfected BEL-7402 cells decreased significantly.(3)Flow cytometry results showed that MR1 siRNA markedly decreased G2 phase population with nocodazole treatment,and distinctly increased G1 phase population.Conclusion The gene MR1 is involved in the proliferation of BEL-7402 cells.MR1 siRNA causes inhibition of the proliferation of BEL-7402 cells.One of the mechanisms ofMR1 siRNA on the proliferation of BEL-7402 cells is the induction of G1 arrest.

Objective To evaluate the reliability of transversus abdominis muscles measure with ultrasonography. Methods The thickness of bilateral transversus abdominis muscles of 20 volunteers at rest and during different postures for training was measured with ultrasonography by 2 examiners. The rate of contraction was calculated. Results The measurement was correlated strongly between examiners (r>0.7). There was significant difference in variety of thickness among postures except head rise to contralateral leg rise (P<0.01). Conclusion Ultrasonography is reliable in measuring transversus abdominis muscles.

Objective To analyse the pregnancy rate after treatment of tubal pregnancy with the systemic methotrexate (MTX) injection Methods From March 1985 to August 1999, 129 women with confirmed unruptured tubal pregnancy,and desiring to conceive were selected Among them 60 women were successfully treated with systemic MTX, and 69 with unilateral salpingectomy All cases were followed up for 1～15 years Results The rates of subsequent intrauterine pregnancies (IUP) in the MTX group was 73% (44 cases) and of recurrent extrauterine pregnancies (EP) was 8% (5 cases) Among 69 patients treated by salpingectomy, the rates of IUP and EP was 70% (48 cases) and 4% (3 cases) respectively The differences between the two groups were not statistically significant Conclusions The effect of conservative management with MTX was similar to those of salpingectomy The rate of subsequent pregnancy did not increased
