THe positive correlativity of fecal examination and soluble antigen from two kinds of adult clonorchis sinensis was nearly 90%. Results of field survey showed that there was no obvious difference between the positive rates of fecal examination and that of ELISA. The positive correlativity was 89. 3%, and the negative correlativity was 92. 8% with 2309 cases. There was close relationships between positive correlativity and the clonorchis sinensis egg density (amount of egg/per gram fece) of the infected people. The positive correlativity of seriously infected people was as high as 97. 9%. while the positive correlativity of those with lighter infection was only 61. 1%. The more serious the infection, the serum antibody titers. was much higher.

Objective To investigate the effects of zinc fingers and homeoboxes 3 (ZHX3) silence on expressions of smad3, smad4 and RUNX2 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Methods ZHX3 low expression vector (ZHX3 silent group) was constructed and was transfected to rat BMSCs. Empty vector was transfected into BMSCs and was used as vehicle control group, and wild type BMSCs was used as the control group. The cell transfection rate was measured under a fluorescence microscope, and then the successful transfection was identified. The immunocytochemistry and immu?noblotting methods were used to detect the expression levels of smad3, smad4 and RUNX2. Results (1) Cells with BMSCs phenotype can be obtained by recovery culturing. (2) After transfection, the green fluorescent protein was found in ZHX3 si?lence group and vehicle control group. Blank control group showed no significant fluorescence. The expression level of ZHX 3 was significantly lower in ZHX3 silence group than that of vehicle control group. (3) Results of immunofluorescence asssay showed that the positive expressions of smad3 and smad4 were located in nucleus and cytoplasm, the positive expression of RUNX2 was mainly located in nucleus. Positive cells were observed in three groups. There was no significant difference in fluorescence intensity between the control group and the vehicle control group, but the fluorescence intensity was significant?ly lower in ZHX3 gene silence group than that of two control groups. (4) There were no significant differences in expressions of smad3, smad4 and RUNX2 betweem control group and the vehicle control group, but they were significantly higher than those of ZHX3 silence group(P < 0.05). Conclusion ZHX3 gene silence can delay vitro osteogenesis of BMSCs, which may play a role by the down-regulated expression levels of smad3, smad4 and RUNX2.

Objective To compare different ways to trace bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) after being transplanted in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods Male SD rats of SPF grade were randomly divided into sham group, model group (ischemia-reperfusion,IR), BrdU tracing group, PKH26 tracing group and GFP tracing group. Fo?cal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was established by blocking middle cerebral artery. 24 hours after cerebral isch?emia-reperfusion injury, 10μL BMSCs that were labeled respectively by BrdU, PKH26, GFP were added respectively into BrdU, PKH26 and GFP tracing group while equal volum of normal saline was added into sham group and model group. Mod?el and transplanting cells efficacy was determined by neural behavioral score, TTC staining and brain water content;Neurons were counted using tar violet staining;The number of transplant cells in the transplanting site was assessed by fluorescence microscopy. Results Before transplanting, there was no significant difference among BrdU, PKH26 and GFP group in cell labeled efficacy. By contrast, neural behavioral score, brain infarct volume and brain tissue water content were significantly lower in all three tracing groups than that in model group 4 weeks after transplantation while neuron counts were markedly higher. There was no significant difference of above parameters among the three tracing groups. However, the number of traced transplanting cells in damaging area in GFP group is significantly higher than that in BrdU group and PKH26 group. Conclusion In cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, the tracing effect of GFP last longer, therefore it is significantly more effective than BrdU and PKH26.

Objective To discuss the diagnosis and early intervention treatment of fetal congenital broncho-genic cysts based on the cases reviewed. Methods The clinical features of 7 infants presenting bronchogenic cysts diagnosed antenatally from January 2013 to May 2014 in Guangdong Women and Children's Hospital and Health In-stitute were reviewed retrospectively. Pathology,the prenatal diagnosis and treatment of bronchogenic cysts experience were summarized combined with CT after birth and surgery. Results Based on the prenatal diagnosis of fetal and postnatal CT and surgical pathology,a total of 7 cases with congenital bronchial cysts were diagnosed. Of which 4 ca-ses were suggestive of congenital cystsic adenomatoid malformation by prenatal diagnosis,and the other 3 cases had fetal bronchial cysts by prenatal diagnosis,antenatal diagnosis was accurate in 42. 9%(3 / 7 cases). CT examinations were taken in 7 cases after birth,and the cyst excision was performed on them with surgery thoracic approach;the average age at surgery was(5. 3 ± 1. 7)months. Four cases had simple bronchial cystss,2 cases with congenital cystsic adenomatoid malformation,1 case with congenital pulmonary sequestration. The accuracy of CT diagnosis was 85. 7%(6 / 7 cases). All surgical treatment was effective. Conclusions Fetal bronchial cysts is always associated with the other presence of lung congenital malformations. Prenatal diagnosis of congenital bronchial cysts is difficult. Prenatal diagnosis is difficult to exclude congenital cystsic adenomatoid malformation. To avoid symptoms like oppres-sion,infection,prenatal diagnosis combined with CT examination after birth and early treatment are necessary and reliable clinically.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of Sangpa Zhike decoction in the treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis. Methods 180 patients with acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis admitted to Autonomous Prefecture Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in Changji,Xinjiang,from August 2012 to August 2013 were enrolled. They were divided into Sangpa Zhike decoction treatment group and western medicine treatment control group by random number table,90 cases in each group. General treatments were given to the two groups. In the Sangpa Zhike decoction treatment group,additionally only oral Sangpa Zhike decoction was given(composition:Morus alba 10 g,loquat leaf 10 g,Houttuynia 10 g,honey aster 15 g,honey coltsfoot flower 6 g,Zhejiang Fritillaria 12 g,perilla 10 g,white mustard seed 6 g,Platycodon grandiflorum 10 g,Rhizoma Cynanchi Stauntonii 12 g,tangerine peel 6 g,Stemona 6 g). The ingredients were mixed in water and boiled to form a decoction,one dose daily,divided into two parts to be taken twice a day. In the western medicine treatment group,the infection was controlled by western medicine and the drugs to eliminate cough and phlegm,etc were used. The therapeutic course in both groups was 7 days. The therapeutic effect for treatment of TCM syndromes and the cough quantized integration score in the two groups were observed after treatment. Results The cure rate of Sangpa Zhike decoction treatment group was significantly higher than that of western medicine treatment control group〔70.00%(63/90)vs. 33.33%(30/90),P<0.01〕. Before treatment,the cough symptom quantization integral scores in the two groups had no statistically significance, but after treatment,the scores in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment. And the score in Sangpa Zhike decoction treatment group was decreased more significantly (1.66±1.12 vs. 4.36±2.32, P<0.01). Conclusion Sangpa Zhike Decoction has obvious curative effect in the treatment of acute attack of chronic bronchitis.
