Objective To investigate the role of IgG determination in diagnosis of early renal damage in children with Henoch-schonlein purpura(HSP). Methods Urine IgG was determined in 188 children with HSP (HSP group), 99 patients with Henoch-schonlein purpura nephritis (HSPN group) and 26 healthy controls (healthy control group). Simultaneously, qualitative detection of urine protein was carried out in HSP group. Results The abnormality rate of urine IgG was significantly higher than that of urine protein in HSP group (P<0. 05). The level of urine IgG was significantly higher in HSP group than that in healthy control group (P<0. 05), while the level of urine IgG in group than that in HSP group (P<0. 05). Conclusion Urine IgG determination is simple and nonin-vasive, which if high clinical value in diagnosis of early renal damage in children with Henoch-schonlein purpura(HSP).

Objective To investigate the efficacy of electrochemotherapy with pingyangmycin (bleomycin A5) for the treatment of human prostate cell line PC 3M in vitro. Methods The prostate cancer cells were treated by pingyangmycin alone, electric pulse alone and by electrochemotherapy, i.e. electric pulses were delivered after pingyangmycin was given. Cytotoxicity was examined by MTT assay and histological examination. Results The maximum nontoxic dose for pingyangmycin was 0.1 ?g/ml; The maximum voltage not showing cytotoxicity was 125 V/mm.The 50% inhibitory concentration was 100 times reduced in electrochemotherapy than pingyangmycin alone. Conclusions The cytotoxicity of pingyangmycin can be enhanced by electric impulses. Pingyangmycin may be a novel drug for electrochemotherapy.

Objective To analyse and understand the main reasons for cesarean section,in order to reduce the rate of cesarean section. Methods Clinical analysis was performed in 6781 patients who underwent cesarean section from January 2004 to December 2008. Results ①Cesarean section rate was increasing from 2004 to 2008, which was 32. 00% (840/2625) , 35. 00% (966/2760) , 39. 08% (1186/3035), 45. 98% (1669/3630) and 51. 88% (2120/4086) .respectively. Compared to 2004, the cesarean section rate in 2008 increased significantly (P <0.01). ②The proportion of the main cesarean section indications changed, the proportion of social factors ,fetal factors and maternal factors were increasing gradually. Cephatopelvic disproportion in 2008 decreased significantly compared to that in 2004(x2 = 194. 805 ,P <0. 01). There was significent difference in each indication from 2004 to 2008. Conclusions The cesarean section rate has increased due to medical reasons and social reasons. To ensure the safety of the mothers and children, vaginal delivery should be adopted as far as possible. The cesarean section without medical indication should be prohibited.

Objective To explore clinical characteristics of severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia complicated with reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome(RPLS).Methods Clinical data of 31 cases of severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia complicated with RPLS were studied retrospectively.ResulIs These 31 cases with RPLS accounted for 48% of those with eclampsia,.and all presented with hypertension,headache and disturbalice of vision,24 cases with seizure episodes,19 cases with nausea and vomiting and 13 with continuous dysphoria after seizure.Neuroradiologic findings showed edema predominantly in the bilateral posterior cerebral white matter,especially in occipital-parietal lobe,with low density lesions in CT and long T1 and T2 signals in brain MRI. Conclusions Severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia tended to complicate with RPLS,presenting severe hypertension,headache,disturbance of vision and recurrent seizure as major clinical manifestations.

ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnoses of somatic diseases of inpatients with psychosis and hospitalized more then 2 years.MethodsThe material of all 350 inpatients were investigated and analyzed.ResultsThe first three psychiatric diagnoses were schizophrenia (61.32%), Alzheimer's disease (15.26%), mood disorder (4.74%). The first three diagnoses of accompanying somatic diseases were heart disease (8.68%), diabetes mellitus (8.42%), and hypertension (4.47%).ConclusionWith the changes of social environment, the disease pedigree of inpatients with psychosis changes, senile patients become more and more, and the incidence of concurrent somatic diseases gradually increases.

Objective To investigate the effects of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), dexamethasone (DEX), and S adenomethionine (SAMe) on the pregnant rats with intrahepatic cholestasis induced by ethinylestradiol (EE). Methods A total of 50 15 day pregnant Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group, EE group, UDCA group, DEX group, and SAMe group. In EE group, rats were subcutaneously injected with EE (2.5 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ) for 5 d. In the control group, rats received subcutaneous injection of appropriate volume of propylene glycol (PG) for 5 d. In UDCA, SAMe, and DEX groups, rats were administered with the same dose of EE plus UDCA (100 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ), SAMe (100 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ), and DEX (1 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ) for 5 d, respectively. The serum levels of aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatases (ALP), glycocholic acid (GC), and total bilirubin were measured after cesarean. Morphologic changes of the liver of pregnant rats and the growth and development of the fetal rats were observed. Results The serum levels of ALT, ALP, GC in rats of UDCA group were decreased significantly as compared with those in DEX group ( P

Objective To construct an expression plasmid carrying the specific siRNA of survivin gene,and to evaluate its silencing effect on the expression of survivin gene and its inhibition effect on the growth of gastric cancer cells.Methods The specific siRNA of survivin gene was designed and synthesized,and an expression plasmid pAdGFP-siRNA was constructed.Gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 was cuhured and transferred with pAdGFP-siRNA,then the silencing of survivin gene expression and the growth inhibition of cancer cell mediated by pAdGFP-siRNA were identified.Results The growth of gastric cancer cells was inhibited after transferring the pAdGFP-siRNA,with the inhibition rate of 68.2% compared to the control group.Immunohistochemistry showed that the specific siRNA markedly silenced the expression of survivin gene in cancer cells.Conclusions The overexpression of survivin gene in gastric cancer cells results in the high proliferation and the resistance to the chemo- and radio-therapy of the cancer cells.The specific siRNA can markedly silence the expression of survivin gene and inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

Objective To study the current situation of human brucellosis infection in a population at high risk in Qian'an,and to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control of the disease.Methods Towns with centralized residents working in sheep breeding,transporting,slaughtering and processing in Jianchangying,Muchangkou and Xiaguanying of Qian'an were selected.In each selected town,2-3 villages with relatively centralized households working in sheep farming,transportation and slaughtering were chosen.All of the people who contacted the sheep or their excrement were chosen as monitoring objects,and serological antibody was tested with rose Bengal plate test(RBPT) and serum agglutination test(SAT).Regional,gender,age and occupational distribution of brucellosis were analyzed.Results A total of 367 blood samples were tested,46 of them were positive in both RBPT and SAT with a ratio of 12.53％ (46/367).Male positive rate [13.51％ (30/222)] was slightly higher than that of females [11.03％(16/145)].The rate in Jianchangying was higher than that of other two towns with a ratio of 13.38％(40/299).The veterinary population had the highest ratio of 33.33％(1/3).Conclusions It is necessary to carry out the surveillance on brucellosis and to further strengthen communication with the animal husbandry department,and strengthen protection on key population.At the same time,in order to control the spread of the disease,extensive health education and intervention measures should be carried out.

Objective To analyze clinical management and outcomes of perinatal fetuses born in triplet and multiple pregnancy.Methods Data of clinical management and outcomes of 55 perinatal fetuses born during 1996 to 2005 by women with triplet and multiple pregnancy were analyzed retrospectively.Results Antenatal check-up was performed regularly for 1/6 of those pregnant women during 1996 to 2000,as compared to that of 8/11 during 2001 to 2005(P<0.05).No significant difference in incidence of varied obstetric complications was found between those during 1996 to 2000 and during 2001 to 2005.Average gestational week at birth was(32.7±2.8)and(35.1±1.9)weeks(P<0.05),and averagebirth weight was(1561±471)grams and(1987±453)grams(P<0.01),respectively for them during 1996 to 2000 and during 2001 to 2005.Caesarean section was performed more for the pregnant women in the earlier first five years than in the later five years,but not reaching statistical significance.Incidence of neonatal complications significantly decreased in the later five years than that in the earlier five yeats,including hyaline membrane disease,neonatal asphyxia,infectious diseases,intracranial hemorrhage and pulmonary hemorrhage(P<0.05),but difference in incidence of apnea and low body temperature between the earlier and later five years did not reach statistical significance.Perinantal mortality was 8 in 35 births in the later five years,as compared to that of 12 in 20 births in earlier five years(P<0.01).Conclusions Outcomes of perinatal fetuses in triplet and multiple pregnancy can be improved by combined action of obstetricians and pediatricians,including regular antenatal examination,active prevention and treatment for pregnant complications and preterm infant diseases,earlier admission waiting for delivery to prolong gestational weeks and increase birth weight,and applying antenatal dexamethasone therapy.

AIM:To examine the effect of acrylic ester and thermosol respectively as pressure sensitive adhesive matrix of zhitong huoxue extract(Rhizoma Corydalis,Radix aconiti,Radix Paeoniae alba,Radix et notoginseng ginseng,etc)on the dissolution of effective constituent from zhitong huoxue extract.METHODS:The in vitro release experiment was carried out on Permcell diffusion cell,HPLC method was applied to determining the cumulative elease rate of tetrahydropalmatine,aconitine,paeoniflorin and ginsenoside Rg_1 from zhitong huoxue pressure sensitive adhensive.RESULTS:The acrylic ester matrix had sound controlled release profile in vitro of alkaloid components.In KT-A thermosol matrix,the in vitro release rate proved to be inversely proportional to the molecular weight(R= 0.91)of the effective constituents,while the 2501 s matrix presented a steadily cumulative release rate over 12 h(30%-43%).CONCLUSION:Good release rates are observed with effective constituent with small molecular weight,adhesive composition of matrix has an obvious effect on the in vitro release behavior of zhitong huoxue extract.
