The author tested 34 urine samples with 5s-23srRNA gene spacer RFLP analysis and compared PCR results with serodiagnosis results.8 pafients of urine are positive by PCR. 7 patients were infected by B. garinii, 1 patient by B afzelii. These genospecies infecting patients are identical with those infecting local vectors. The results showed that the accuracy of laboratory diagnosis oould be improved by simultaneously testing samples with PCR and serodiagnosis. The method of 5s-23srRNA gene spacer RFLP analysis will probably be used widely in studying the relationship of clinical manifestation and genospecies and in epidemiology investigations.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of kuiyusan on recovering intestinal mucosa of patients with active ulcerative colitis(UC). Methods Forty-eight patients with active UC were selected as our subjects. They were applied kuiyusan to retention enema for1 time per day for 15 days as a treatment course. Next treatment course were started interval 7 days and all patients were received 3 treatment courses. Changes of pathological signs were observed before and after the treatment with kuiyusan. Results The rate of intestinal mucosal focal small hemorrhages after treatment was 37. 5 %(18 / 48),significantly lower than that at pre-treatment(87. 5%(42 / 48);χ2 = 25. 60,P < 0. 001). The UC mucosal epithelial regeneration rate,disappear rate of intestinal mucosal epithelial goblet cells and Paneth cells regeneration rate at pre-treatment were 18. 8%(9 / 48),31. 2%(15 / 48),6. 3%(3 / 48),significantly different from that after treatment(50. 0%(24 / 48), 6. 3%( 3 / 48 ),20. 8%( 10 / 48 );χ2 = 10. 39,9. 85,4. 36;P < 0. 01 ). The incidence rate of intestinal lymphocyte hyperplasia and infiltration of eosinophils at pre-treatment were 95. 8%(46 / 48)and 100%(48 /48),higher than that after treatment( 72. 9%( 35 / 48 ) and 56. 2%( 27 / 48 )) and the differences were significant(χ2 = 9. 56,26. 88;P < 0. 01). Crypt abscess incidence were decreased from 56%(27 / 48)at pre-treatment to 25%(12 / 48)at after treatment( χ2 = 9. 72,P < 0. 01). Conclusion Kuiyusan can obviously improve small vascular lesions and crypt abscess of the mucous membrane on active UC,reduce neutrophil, eosinophil infiltration,maintain the intestinal epithelial tight junction,improve mucosal barrier,as well as promote healing of mucosal inflammation.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Xuebijing injection plus oral acitretin for the treatment of erythrodermic psoriasis.Methods Forty-eight patients with erythrodermic psoriasis were equally and randomly divided into two groups by a random number table:test group treated with Xuebijing injection once a day plus oral acitretin,and control group treated with oral acitretin.The dose of acitretin began at 0.5 mg per kilogram per day,and was modified according to the tolerance in and response of patients.After 8 weeks of treatment,clinical efficacy was evaluated by psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score,response rate and recurrence rate.Adverse reactions were also recorded and evaluated.Results The difference in PASI score between pre-and post-treatment was significantly higher in the test group than in the control group (34.9 ± 2.2 vs.27.3 ± 1.7,t =3.37,P ＜ 0.05).The total response rate was 87.5％ in the test group and 62.5％ in the control group (x2 =4.87,P ＜ 0.05).There was a statistical decrease in the average onset time ((13.5 ± 2.4) d vs.(20.7 ± 3.1) d,t =3.67,P ＜ 0.05),daily dose and total dose of acitretin ((26.4 ± 3.3) mg vs.(34.7 ± 3.5) mg,(1854.5 ± 85.2) mg vs.(2768.8 ± 88.7) mg,t =3.07,4.32,respectively,both P ＜ 0.05) in the test group compared with the control group.The recurrence rate was 9.5％ (2/21) in the test group and 26.6％ (4/15) in the control group (x2 =5.23,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion In the case of erythroderma psoriaticum,Xuebijing injection combined with oral acitretin is superior to oral acitretin alone in clinical efficacy,onset time and reducing recurrence.

Objective To observe the intervention effect of electro-acupuncture(EA) on mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) expression in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) newborn rats. Methods Seven-day-old SD rats were randomly assigned into 3 groups, namely sham-surgery group, HIE model group, and EA group. All of the groups were subdivided into 4 subgroups in terms of 4 time periods of 1, 3, 7 and 21 day(s). Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used for the observation of histological changes in the affected cerebral region. Expression levels of cerebral mTOR were detected with Western blotting method. Results The results of HE staining showed that EA group at experimental day 21 had clear organizational structure, ordered arrangement of neurons, relieved cellular swelling, well cell integrity with clear nucleolus and proliferative glial cells. Compared with the sham-surgery group, mTOR level of the model group was dramatically increased on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 21st day(P<0.05), and the mTOR expression level of EA group was significantly higher than that in the model group at the above time points (P < 0.05). Conclusion EA can promote mTOR expression in brain tissue and can protect the brain of newborn rats from HIE.

Objective To explore the outcome of children with mental retardation after 3 years follow-up. Methods The subjects were 237 children with mental retardation, selected from Beijing Municipal Investigation for Children with Disability in 2004. Gesell Developmental Schedule and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children were used to estimate the children's intelligence. Results After 3 years, the outcome showed non-mental retarded, 124 subjects (52.32%); mild mental retarded, 46; moderate mental retarded, 32; severe mental retarded, 16; profound mental retardation, 19. The related factors include urban/suburban (B=-0.622), parental knowledge about rehabilitation training (B=-0.470) and score of personal social interaction in Gesell Test(B=-0.040). Conclusion The outcomes of children with mental retardation are different. But some problems still exist even in non-mental retarded children.

ObjectiveTo investigate the features of normal and psoriasis skin on ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and explore the method of thickness measurement.MethodsUsing 50 MHz ultrasound probe of biological microscope, ultrasonographic observation and ultrasonic thickness measurement were conducted in 90 normal adults and 40 psoriasis patients. Innormal patients, ultrasound evaluations were performed at 10 different parts of the body skin.ResultsOn sonogram, the normal skin showed a “sandwich” structure with two parallel hyperechoic bands and the middle isoechoic dots and short liens. The sonograms of the psoriasis skin showed obviously thickened epidermis and dermis, disordered internal structure and clear boundary from adjacent normal skin. The range of the epidermis’ thickness measurement was between the medial forearm (0.12±0.03) mm and the palm (0.29±0.15) mm. The range of dermal thickness measurement was between the back hand (1.18±0.32) mm and parasternal (1.55±0.21) mm. Psoriasis skin was thicker than the uninvolved skin (P<0.001). And the dermis’ thickness of uninvolved skin in psoriasis patients was thicker than that of the normal adults (P<0.001).ConclusionNormal adult’s epidermis, dermis and skin appendages can be shown clearly using 50 MHz ultrasound biomicroscopy. And ultrasound biomicroscopy canaccurately measure the thickness of dermis and epidermis, which provides the basis for the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis.
