Objective:To observe the effect of etanercept on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice and its possible mechanisms.Methods:Thirty male SPF Kun ming mice were randomly assigned to control group ( intratracheal saline injection ) or model group ( intratracheal injection of bleomycin 5 mg/kg ) or intervention group ( intratracheal bleomycin injection followed by etanercept 3 mg/kg intraperitoneal administration twice a week )(n=10 group).Lung tissue were taken after the sacrifice of the mice with 28 days of molding.The content of hydroxyproline of the right lung samples was measured by alkaline hydrolysis method ,while the left lungs were fixed in 4%paraformaldehyde and embedded in paraffin with the sections stained with hematoxylin -eosin or Masson′s trichrome for pathological examination .Total tissue protein was extracted from lung homogenates to detect the expression of NF -κB and phosphorylation of NF-κB( P-NF-κB) by Western blot.Results:The content of hydroxyproline in lung tissue of mice of intervention arm was decreased significantly compared with the model arm ( P<0.01 ).The alveolar structure of the intervention arm maintained integrity with alveolar septum slightly thickened.The inflammation and fibrosis scores were decreased significantly with noticeable greater improvement of pulmonary fibrosis than the model arm (P<0.01).In addition,the protein phosphorylation of NF-κB in the lung tissues was remarkably decreased in the intervention arm ( P<0.01 ).Conclusion: Etanercept can inhibit the phosphorylation of NF-κB and reduce lung inflammation and fibrosis caused by bleomycin in mice ,which may be useful in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.

OBJECTIVETo understand the clinical features of gastrointestinal cow's milk allergy in children, and to assess the importance of cow's milk challenge.
METHODAn analysis was performed on the clinical manifestations and the challenge results of 50 children who received cow's milk challenges after admission to the department of gastroenterology, Children' s Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January,2009 to December, 2012. The value of immunoglobulin E antibody was also analyzed among the 50 children, 25 cases were male and the other 25 were female. The youngest subject was 1. 6 months old, and the oldest was 20 months, most of the cases were younger than 6 months (36 cases).
RESULT(1) Diarrhea (27 cases, 54%) and hematochezia (25 cases, 50%) were the most common clinical features, vomiting, hematemesis and abdominal distention were rare. (2) Cow's milk challenges failed in 58% of the cases, 90% of whom showed delayed allergy. Diarrhea (19 cases, 73%) was the major later presentation, whereas the immediate hypersensitivity showed angio-edema, gastrointestinal symptom and rash. (3) The neutrophil count ((3.8 ± 2.8) x 10(9)/L vs. (2.5 ± 1.3) x 10(9)/L) was higher after challenge among children who failed the challenge. The change in the count of blood cell, neutrophil and platelet was studied, however, there were no statistical differences between the challenge-failed children and the passed ones. (4) Forty-seven cases had milk specific immunoglobulin E antibody test, and 5 showed positive results, 4 of whom were seen among the challenge-failed children.
CONCLUSIONDiarrhea and hematochezia was the most common clinical manifestation, and cow's milk protein induced proctocolitis was the most common disease in practice. It is important and necessary to perform cow's milk challenge.

Oncogene-induced senenscence(OIS) is defined as a stable proliferative arrest of normal cells upon overexpression of aberrant proliferative signals of oncogenes through MAPK and PI3K pathway.The molecular mechanism of OIS is related to the formation of heterochromatin and DNA-damage check-point response.The markers of OIS includ senescence-associated ?-galactosidase and senescence-associated heterochromatin foci.With the growing recognization of OIS,the new models of tumor progression are emerging.The further investigation on the mechanism of OIS is of great significance to understanding of the tumorigenesis and provide new ideas and methods of cancer treatment.

[Objective]To investigate the correlation of sagittal parameters in L5~S1 isthmic spondylolisthesis and its clinical manifestation.[Method]Seventy-six patients with L5~S1 isthmic spondylolisthesis were treated between January 2000 and December 2005,there were 32 males and 44 females with the age between 12 and 68 years.The lateral standing radiographs of the spine and pelvis were analyzed retrospectively.Radiographic parameters measured including pelvic incidence(PI),sacral slope(SS),lumbar lordosis(LL),lumbosacral angle(LSA)and grade of spondylolisthesis.All measurements were done by the same individual and compared to those of a cohort of 30 normal subjects.Students test was used to compare the parameters between the curve types and Pearsons correlation coefficients were used to investigate the association between all parameters(P

Objective To research effects of Yupingwind particles combing with nasal spray on allergic rhinitis. Methods 100 patients with allergic rhinitis from lishui people's hospital from January 2014 to January 2016 were divided into two groups,with 50 cases in each group.The control group was treated with nasal spray, and observation group was treated with Yupingwind particles combing with nasal spray. Relevant indicators were analyzed between two groups. Results Recent curative effect in observation group was 92.00%,higher than control group with 76.00%(P<0.05).After treatment,Symptom score,immune factors and inflammation level in observation group were better than those in control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Yupingwind particles can improve recent curative effect for patients with allergic rhinitis.

Objective To investigate the effect and perioperative nursing experience of surgical operation on patients with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury caused by traumatic cervical spine fracture. Method Fifty-nine patients with traumatic cervical spine fracture in our hospital from January 2011 to 2014 were nursed perioperatively, including before operation , training accttenty with swallowing and blowing balloons besides basic nursing care , and after operation , mental care , close observation and functional exercises postoperatively. Results The operation time was (110.5+13.0) min, the amount of bleeding was (155.6+7.5)mL. Three patients developed hematoma compression, 13 patients developed high fever. All patients were cured after treatment and nursing. Conclusion Preoperative training of swallowing and blowing balloon is fundamental for ensured surgical effect and intraoperative surgical cooperation and close observation together with postoperative mental care, close obsersation and functional exercise are the guarantee for surgical effect.

Objective To analyze quality of life (QOL) and its related factors in community middle-aged and aged people with osteoporosis (OP). Methods A total of 152 OP patients in one community in Shanghai were surveyed and their QOL was evaluated with a questionnaire integrated with the QUALEFFO-41 questionnaire. Factors were analyzed using a Kruskal-Wallis test and stepwise multiple regression. Results The QOL scores of these middle-aged and aged people with OP were generally low (62.58 + 14.06). Age, education level, milk intake, a history of fractures or illness, OP grade and menopause time were significant factors predicting QOL scores. Stepwise multiple regression indicated that fractures, illness, education level and menostasis time had a linear relationship with QOL. Conclusion The key points in improving the QOL of middle-aged and aged people with OP in the community are health education, early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment.
