Objective To design a micro-traumatic way that can correct the elbow valgus or varus deformity in children. Methods Thirty-eight cases were treated with the self-made Kirschner with saw, the diameter of 1.5 mm. To observe and analyse the clinical effect in the healing of the bone, the improvement of the carrying angle, the function of the elbow and the complications. Results All the patients were followed up 6 months to 3 years.The areas of the cut bone healed without injuries of nerve, vascular and epiphysis. The carrying angle recovered from 8° to 15° (mean 13.5°). During the follow-up, there were no lost of the carrying angle and no herniation of external condyle of humerus and no statistical difference in appearance.According to Cassebaum marking standard, there were 29 cases excellent,8 cases good, 1 case fair, with good rate of 97.37%(37/38). Conclusions The new technique is micro-traumatic,safe and easy to operate.It is an ideal treating method and worthy of clinical application.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the expression of SARS-CoV (IgG) in the serum of hospitalized children who were not suffering from SARS, and retrospectively evaluate the difference of generation of the antibody between the children and adults. Methods Serum samples were collected from 85 hospitalized children, 500 health-check adults, 976 hospitalized adults, and 156 adults recovered from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and SARS-CoV (IgG) in the specimens was determined by ELISA and biologic chip. Results The level of serum SARS-CoV (IgG) in childhood patients was significantly higher than that in adult patients (17.6% vs 6.3%, P

Objectives To investigate antimicrobial resistance and beta-lactamase production of Moraxella catarrhalis isolates from respiratory tract in children and to understand the characteristics of BRO beta-lactamase gene. Methods From June 2011 to Sep-tember 2012, 401 Moraxella catarrhalis isolates were obtained from respiratory tract in children. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of commonly-used antibiotics were determined by microbroth dilution assay, and beta-lactamase production was detected by Nitroceifn disk test. PCR combining restriction endonuclease analysis was employed to do the BRO genotyping. Results 96.5%iso-lates were beta-lactamase positive (387/401), MIC (MIC50/MIC90) values and resistant rates of beta-lactamase producing isolates were higher than those of non beta-lactamase producing isolates for ampicillin, cefaclor and cefuroxime (P<0.05). The positive rate of BRO gene was 99.2%in beta-lactamase producing isolates (384/387), consisting of 93.0%BRO-1 isolates and 7.0%BRO-2 isolates. MIC50 and MIC90 values of BRO-1+isolates were higher than those of BRO-2+isolates for ampicillin, cefaclor, cefuroxime and azithromycin. Conclusions The beta-lactamase production rate is high in Moraxella catarrhalis isolates from respiratory tract in children. BRO-1 type was the dominant genotype of beta-lactamase producing isolates, having more inlfuence than BRO-2 type in the inlfuence on some beta-lactams and macrolides.

Objective In order to understand the mechanisms beyond lipid regulation of 3 hydroxy 3 methyl glutaryl coenzyme A(HMG CoA) reductase inhibitors in anti atherosclerosis, we observed the influence of pravastatin on the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic lesions and the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) 1 in aortic wall of the apoE deficient mice. Methods Pravastatin(10 mg?kg?d -1 ) was fed to 10 , 20 , and 30 week old male apoE deficient mice respectively for 4 weeks. The atherosclerotic plaque size and the ratio of plaque area to aortic luminal area (PA/LA) were determined by histochemical staining and analyzed quantitatively. The expression of ICAM 1 in aortic wall of apoE deficient mice was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Results Compared with controls, pravastatin delayed the plaque formation in apoE deficient mice 〔(161 786 1?38 041 2) ?m 2 vs (99 127 9?13 600 3) ?m 2, P

Objective Puerarin can remove inflammatory mediators, but the underlying mechanisms are not yet clear.The purpose of this study is to observe the synthesis of IL-6 in co-cultured bronchial epithelial (Beas-2B) and neutrophil cells, and to investigate the inhibitory effect of puerarin on IL-6.Methods Beas-2B and neutrophil cells were extracted and divided into six groups: neutrophil cells cultured alone (NC), Beas-2B cells cultured alone (BC), Beas-2B and neutrophil cells co-cultured (BC+NC), and Beas-2B and neutrophil cells co-cultured with puerarin at 50 μg/mL (BC+NC+P50), 100 μg/mL (BC+NC+P100) and 200 μg/mL (BC+NC+P200).The concentrations of IL-6 in different groups were quantitatively measured by ELISA and the expression of the IL-6 gene detected by real-time PCR.Results After 18 hours of culturing, the concentration of IL-6 was significantly increased in the BC+NC group ([280.409±21.340] pg/mL) as compared with those in BC ([240.002±23.727] pg/mL), NC ([22.771±1.146] pg/mL), BC+NC+P50 ([244.205±9.335] pg/mL), BC+NC+P100 ([218.168±18.635] pg/mL), and BC+NC+P200 ([179.539±7.340] pg/mL) (P<0.05), but lower in the BC+NC+P200 than in the BC+NC+P50 and BC+NC+P100 groups (P<0.05).The expression of the IL-6 gene was markedly up-regulated in the BC+NC group (1.515±0.013) in comparison with those in BC (1.000±0.215), BC+NC+P50 (0.398±0.024), BC+NC+P100 (0.332±0.016), and BC+NC+P200 (0.306±0.015) (P<0.05), but lower in the BC+NC+P200 than in the BC and BC+NC+P50 groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Direct-contact co-culture of Beas-2B and neutrophil cells significantly enhances the synthesis and release of the inflammatory mediator IL-6, which can be inhibited by puerarin.

Lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor globally, with the highest incidence as well as mortality in China. Absence of the effective screening method for early detection results in the high mortality. Five-year survival rate in patients with advanced cancer decreases remarkably compared with that in patients with early stage disease. Hence, the early detection of lung cancer is of vital importance. DNA methylation has close correlation with the initiation and development of tumor genesis. With the improvement in DNA methylation, aberrant DNA methylation has been identified in lung cancer. Detection of methylation in the specimens, such as tissue, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, serum or plasma, sputum and urine, contributes to the early detection and improvement in the prognosis and treatment of lung cancer.

With the technology progress of human genome sequencing and biomedical analysis and the emergence of big data analysis tools,the new concept of precision medicine has been put forward.Clinically,the application of precision medicine becomes more and more widely in personalized medicine,genetic disease analysis and disease prediction,etc,which will be the trend of disease diagnosis and treatment in the future,however,precision medicine is based on the precise detection.The requirement of the precise detection promotes the rapid development of new detection methods.Clinical laboratory is the carrier to achieve accurate detection,we need to strengthen the construction of clinical laboratory and improve the management level of the laboratory,so as to achieve accurate detection,to provide a more effective basis for the diagnosis and treatment of precision medicine.

Objective To investigate the value of the flow cytometry(FCM)for detecting platelet associated antibody in the di-agnosis of immune thrombocytopenia(ITP).Methods Platelet associated antibody,expression rate and the fluorescence intensity of platelet-associated immunoglobulin(PAIg)were measured in 51 patients with ITP(23 cases of newly diagnosed ITP and 28 cases of persistent ITP),21 patients with non-ITP and 60 healthy individuals.The correlation between the detection results with the platelet and megakaryocyte counts was performed;the expression rates of PAIg before and after treatment were compared.Results The fluorescence positive percentage and mean fluorescence intensity of IgG,Ig A and IgM in the patients group were significantly high-er than those in the control group with statistical difference(P <0.01).Compared with the non-ITP group,the difference had statis-tical significance(P <0.05).Compared with the autoimmune disease group,the difference had no statistical significance(P >0.05);the difference between the autoimmune disease group and the healthy control group had statistical significance(P <0.01 );in the persistent ITP group,PAIg in the complete response group had statistical difference between the groups before treament.PAIg in the response group also had statistical difference between the groups before treament (P <0.05).Conclusion FCM for detecting PAIg can be used in the diagnosis,differential diagnosis and the disease condition monitoring of ITP.
