Objective To explore the changes and relationship of serum insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) and leptin in children with growth hormone deficiency(GHD).Method Serum IGF-1 and leptin levels were measured by immunoradiometric assay in 20 prepuberal normal children and 23 children with GHD.Results Serum IGF-1 level in GHD group(51.158?29.988)?g/L was significantly lower than that in controls(112.680?41.540)?g/L.Serum leptin levels in GHD group(6.002?2.204)?g/L was significantly higher than that in controls(4.523?2.204)?g/L.There was no significant correlation between serum IGF-1 and leptin.Conclusion IGF-1 and leptin regulate growth in children with GHD in their individual way.

Objective To clone and compare RNase HIIa and RNase HIIb of Chlamydia pneumoniae AR39(CpRNaseHIIa and CpRNaseHIIb). Methods Genes of CpRNase HIIs were amplified with the designed primers.Then,the recombinant plasmids were constructed,and CpRNase HIIs were expressed and purified with pET expression system.The 5′-32P-labeled RNA/DNA substrate and DNA with oligoribonucleotides substrates were prepared to identify characterization of CpRNase HIIs. Results Ribonuclease H activity of both CpRNase HIIa and CpRNase HIIb could cleave oligoribonucleotides strand,generating break with 3′-OH and 5′-phosphate ends.The results showed that there was different biochemical characterization between them. Conclusion CpRNase HIIa and CpRNase HIIb have different functions in C.pneumoniae.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of digestive system dysfunctions after cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods The clinical data of 2349 consecutive cases undergoing cardiovascular surgery with CPB from Jan 1996 to Dec 2002 were retrospectively reviewed. The risk factors, clinical features, diagnostic methods, treatment and prognosis of digestive system dysfuctions were summarized. Results The incidence of digestive system dysfunctions was 1.4% (n=33), and the most common events were paralytic ileus (33.3%, n=11) and gastrointestinal bleeding (27.3%, n=9). Liver function insufficiency and ischemic bowel disease were the most common causes of deaths. 26(78.8%) patients underwent medicine treatment, 7(21.2%) patients accepted surgical interventions, and 5 patients (15.2%) died. Conclusion Digestive system dysfunctions following cardiovascular surgery were uncommon but had a high mortality. Advanced ages, history of gastrointestinal disease and perioperative hemodynamic unstability may be the clinical risk factors of digestive system dysfuctions. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential for the outcome of the patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of mosapride combined acupoint massage on diabetic gastroparesis(DGP)in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods 150 cases of DGP in our hospital from April 2015 to May 2016 were collected and randomly divided into three groups:the conventional treatment group(n=35,in insulin treatment),the control group(n=52,in mosapride treatment),and the experimental group(n=63,in mosapride combined with acupoint massage treatment).All patients received the conventional diabetic therapy.Clinical efficacy,gastric emptying rate and the levels of serum gastrin and fasting blood glucose were observed and compared before versus after treatment among the three groups.Results After treatment,the total effective rate was 92.1% in the experimental group,versus 51.4% and 73.1% in the conventional treatment group and control group respectively,showing a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).There were significant differences in gastric emptying rate,the levels of serum gastrin and fasting blood glucose among the 3 treatment groups before versus after treatment.And gastric emptying rate,the levels of serum gastrin and fasting blood glucose were improved in the experimental groups compared with the conventional treatment and control groups(all P<0.05).The follow-up results showed that the adverse reactions and the recurrence rates were significantly lower in the experimental group than in conventional treatment group and control group(all P<0.05).Conclusions Mosapride combined with acupoint massage in the treatment of diabetic gastroparesis have significant clinical effect,low recurrence rate and high safety,and is worthy of promotion.

AIM: To observe the effect of perioperative detail treatment of pterygium.
METHODS:Sixty cases(100 eyes) of pterygium patients were collected from Sep. 2012 to Jan. 2014. All cases were performed modified pterygium excision with limbal epithelial autograft transplantion under microscope. Corneal wound healing, graft survival, and the recurrence of pterygium were observed.
RESULTS:All cases of conjunctival flap survive, corneal wound closed well. The patients were followed up for 7 to 12mo. Among them, 3 eyes recurred and the recurrence rate was 3%. There were no serious complications.
CONCLUSION:In the operation of pterygium excision with limbal epithelial autograft transplantion, standard and detail treatment can significantly improve the clinical effect.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of diagnosis and therapeutic effect of malignant pleural effusion with lung cancer,and explore the prognostic factors and effective diagnosis and treatment plans.Methods A retrospective analysis in-cludes 728 cases of definite pleural effusion with lung cancer from October 2009 to December 2013 in our hospital,which was fol-lowed-up to September 30,2014,and 438 cases were available analyzed.The main outcome measures were incidence,efficiency,pro-gression-free survival and overall survival.Results The overall median progression-free survival and the median survival of malig-nant pleural effusions with lung cancer was respectively 4 months and 8 months.males,small cell lung cancer,massive pleural effu-sion,and right pleural effusion may be the independent factors of local unmanageable malignant pleural effusion by multivariable Lo-gistic regression.The overall survival of pleural effusion with locally control(less than four weeks )was better than those with un-manageable(mOS:9 month vs.5 month,P<0.001).It was no significant difference of the control rate for overall survival prognosis between pleural effusion with two weeks and those with four weeks.histological type,partial remission time,the number of cycles of chemotherapy and TKI therapy may be the independent development risk by progression with Multivariate Cox regression analysis. the progress risk of patients with squamous cell carcinoma and other histological types were lower than that of adeno carcinoma (P=0.007).The progress risk of development of patients with 4 weeks of pleural effusion was significantly lower than that of the non remission (P=0.004),the progress risk of complete chemotherapy cycle number > 2 cycles and takingTKI treatment were significantly reduced (P<0.001;P=0.026).Gender,histological type,pericardial effusion,partial remission time,cycles of chemo-therapy and TKI were the independent prognostic factors for overall survival.The overall survival prognosis of patients with Fe-male,squamous cell carcinoma,no pericardial effusion,and over three cycles of chemotherapy,TKI therapy,and local controlled in 4 weeks was better.Conclusion Male,massive pleural effusion and right pleural effusion are independent predictive factors of local unmanageable malignant pleural effusion.The overall survival of pleural effusion with locally control was better than the patients with refractory control.Histological type,controllable relief time of pleural effusion,cycles of chemotherapy and TKI therapy were the independent predictive factors of progression and overall survival.

Objective To investigate the effect of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) in ventilator-induced lung injury inflammatory reaction of newborn rabbits.Methods Seventy-five newborn rabbits aged 1-5 days were randomly arranged to 3 groups:control group(n=3),other 72 rabbits designed by 2?2?3 factorial were divided into high concentration oxygen(100%)and low concentration oxygen(45%) groups,and each group was subdivided into 2 groups:High peak inspiratory pressure(PIP)group and low PIP group.All rabbits were done by mechanical ventilation and killed to obtain lung tissue at 1,3,6 hours after trailing respectively.The concentration of MMP-9 and MMP-2 in lung tissue bomogenate were detected by ELISA,at the same time the ratio of wet to dry was detected and pathological section was analyzed.Results 1.The concentration of MMP-2 in high concentration oxygen group,high PIP group and low PIP group increased compared with that in normal group,and there were significant differences.2.The mean concentration of MMP-9 was lower in high concentration oxygen group than that in normal control group,and there was significant difference between 2 groups.The mean concentration of MMP-9 in low concentration oxygen group was higher than that in normal group,and there was no significant difference between 2 groups.There was no significant difference in effect to mean concentration of MMP-9 by different PIP.3.There were positive correlation between MMP-2 and MMP-9,MMP-2 and the ratio of wet to dry in lung.Conclusions Within 6 hours in newborn rabbits by mechanical ventilation,ventilation with high concentration oxygen up-regulate MMP-2,but down-regulated MMP-9.The lungs stretch by mechanical ventilation increase MMP-9,but decrease MMP-2.Mechanical ventilation can affect the synthesis of MMPs,and MMPs plays an important role in ventilator-induced lung injury of newborn rabbits.

Bacterial biodiversities of microbial mat and sediments, which were sampled from thermal springs of Tengchong Rehai in Yunnan, were preliminarily studied with PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE). Directly extracted total DNA from environmental samples amplified by PCR with two sets of bacteria-specific primers. The PCR products, which include the V 8 and V 9 high-variable regions respectively, were analyzed by using DGGE. The DGGE profiles not only indicated the existence of higher levels of bacterial diversity, but also showed that the microbial mat and sediments have different dominant bacteria. Furthermore, the bacterial PCR-DGGE displayed clear profiles of bacterial structure selected by the key abiotic factors of the extreme environments, such as temperature and concentration of oxygen.
