1.Microglia and Parkinson's disease
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2012;16(24):4549-4554
BACKGROUND: Because dopaminergic neurons are particularly sensitive to oxidative stress, microglia is characteristics of being prone to activation, and activated microglia is the main source of oxygen free radical production, so microglia activation is more important in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and illness progress.OBJECTIVE: To summarize the correlation between microglia and Parkinson's disease.METHODS: An online computer-based retrieval was performed by the first author among the Chinese Journal Full-Text Database (CNKI: 2000/2010) and Medline (2000/2010) Database, with key words of Parkinson's disease, microglia in English and Chinese. The correlation between microglia and Parkinson's disease was discussed through two aspects, one is the influence of cell factors and toxic substance produced after microglia activation on Parkinson's disease, the other is the inhibition of microglia and prevention of nerve toxic factors on Parkinson's disease progress.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 112 articles were screened out according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 27 of them were involved in the analysis. Results showed that microglia activation will damage dopaminergic neurons, and cause Parkinson's disease. And the occurrence and development of Parkinson's disease may further reduce the neurotransmitter dopamine, continue to damage dopaminergic neurons and release the inflammatory factor, thus promoting microglia activation. Inhibition of microglia activation is likely to stop the progress of Parkinson's disease.

Objective To discuss Si tactic of breathing exercises on the rehabilitation of lung function, dyspnea, distance of 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), respiratory muscle endurance and quality of life in stable patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods 63 patients with COPD were divided into experimental group with 31 cases and control group with 32 cases according to random digital table method. The experimental group were given routine treatment and nursing care, take Si tactic of breathing exercises. The control group were given routine treatment and nursing care only. Both groups were given treatment for 4 months. The indexes of lung function (FEV1, FEV1%, FEV1/FVC), scores of the Modified Medical Research Council Scale (MMRC), 6MWD, scores of Saint-George′s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) changes before and after the therapy were measured. Results After intervention, the lung function as measured by FEV1, MVV, 6MWD showed a significant improvement in the experimental group, and was higher than that in the control group[(1.42±0.43) L vs.(1.22±0.32) L and(1.21±0.45) L,(52.39±14.21) L vs.(47.20±14.59) L and (43.65±11.89) L, (288.36±71.70) m vs.(244.42±71.50) m and (250.56 ±79.25) m, P<0.05]; MMRC scores, SGRQ scores, activities and daily life part score were lower after intervention and was lower than that in the control group [(2.63 ±1.00) points vs. (3.21 ±0.92) points and (3.14±1.12) points, (44.38±5.23) points vs. (54.74±5.73) points and (52.87±5.49) points, (41.25± 6.03) pints vs.(66.48±6.38) points and (64.13±5.34) points, (28.00±7.34) points vs. (44.87±4.86) points and (42.31 ±9.12) points, P<0.05]. Conclusions For COPD patients in stable stage, Si tactic of breathing exercises can improve the pulmonary function and alleviate dyspnea, enhance exercise endurance and respiratory endurance, thereby improve the quality of life of patients, so this is one of the method for comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation in the future.

Objeetive To investigate the changes of kidney cortex hemoperfusion before and after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) with contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and time-intensity curve.Methods Thirty patients of renal calculi were treated with ESWL and examined with CEUS before and after ESWL.Renal cortex blood perfusion parameters of the lithotriptic areas,including the contrast agent arrival time (AT) ,time to peak (TTP) .peak intensity (PI) and velocity parameters (β) were quantitatively measured with ACQ software.Results The value of AT,TTP and β were not significantly different before and after ESWL (P>0.05) .PI value after ESWL was lower than that before ESWL (P<0.05) . Conclusion CEUS can quantitatively evaluate the changes of kidney cortex hemoperfusion after ESWL,and reflect the minor renal damage resulted from ESWL.CEUS can be used as a new method of observing and evaluating the renal damage caused by ESWL.

Objective To study the clinical value of electronic bronchoscope in diagnosis and treatment of recurrent dyspnea in neonates.Method From October 2014 to October 2017,the clinical data of recurrent dyspnea receiving electronic bronchoscopy examination and treatment in the neonatal intensive care unit of our hospital were retrospectively selected.Their clinical characteristics and treatment effects were summarized and analyzed.Result A total of 171 infants of neonatal recurrent respiratory infections were examined using electronic bronchoscope.The top four causes included endo-tracheo-bronchitis in 78 cases (45.6%), laryngomalacia, and tracheobronchomalacia in 22 cases (12.9%), airway stenosis in 14 cases (8.2%) and esophagotracheal fistula in 12 cases ( 7.0%).The complications of intraoperative and postoperative included decline of percutaneous oxygen saturation and /or heart rate (20.5%, 35/171), mucosal bleeding (12.3%, 21/171 ), and fever after bronchoalveolar lavage.Electronic bronchoscopy examination confirmed all the 171 neonates′diagnosis and some of them recovered after corresponding treatment.78 cases of infants with endo-tracheobronchitis were all cured.22 cases of laryngomalacia and tracheobronchomalacia and nine patients with airway stenosis improved and were discharged after treatment . One patient with subglottic stenosis received bronchoscopic holmium laser ablation therapy and the airway significantly expanded.No re-stenosis was found during follow-up.Conclusion Electronic bronchoscopy is an important method to determine the cause of recurrent dyspnea in newborns , and it′safe,reliable and can play a therapeutic role in some neonates.
