Objective Diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)was used to explore the characteristics of white matter (WM)microstruc-ture lesion in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy(TLE)and hippocampal sclerosis(HS).Then we investigated the influence of the age of epilepsy onset and the course on WM changes.Methods DTI data were obtained in 30 TLE patients with HS and 23 age and sex-matched healthy controls.Thirteen patients had left HS (LHS)and seventeen had right HS (RHS).Between-group compari-sons of fractional anisotropy (FA)were carried out by using track-based spatial statistics (TBSS).In addition,FA in regions of in-terest (ROI)where white matter lesions had statistically significant difference was correlated with the age of onset and the course. Results Subjects in the LHS group,as compared to healthy controls,demonstrated these clusters of reduced FA:bilateral corona radiata,the left genu of corpus callosum,the right body and splenium of corpus callosum,the right posterior thalamic radiation,ex-ternal capsule and superior longitudinal fasciculus.White the subjects in the RHS group,the clusters of reduced FA are involving bi-lateral corpus callosum,corona radiata,posterior thalamic radiation,cingulum,superior longitudinal fasciculus,and the right ante-rior limb of internal capsule,the right retrolenticular part of internal capsule and external capsule.In LHS group,the FA of the left genu of corpus callosum was negatively correlated with the course,and the FA of the right anterior corona radiata was positively cor-related with the age of onset.In RHS group,the FA of the bilateral superior corona radiata was positively correlated with the course.Conclusion DTI detects extensive changes in TLE with HS that are not confined to temporal lobe.The age of epilepsy onset in LHS was correlated with the changes of anterior corona radiata,while the course and the WM change were not definitely linked to each other.

Objective To evaluate the effect of clinical pathway management on pediatric capillary bronchitis. Methods Infants with capillary bronchitis admitted to our hospital were selected. Several indices were compared between the infants with and without clinical pathway management including hospital stay, costs of hospitalization, satisfaction in parents of children, cure rate, readmission rate one week after discharge, hospital infection and variation in the process of clinical pathway manage-ment. Results A total of 204 eligible infants were divided into research group (n=96) and control group (n=108). There were no signiifcant differences in sex, age, respiratory rate, heart rate and temperature, and detection rate of respiratory syncytial virus in nasopharyngeal secretion and sputum culture (P>0.05). Compared with the infants in control group, the total drug costs, the an-tibiotics costs and the average length of stay were signiifcantly decreased in infants with clinical pathway management (P<0.05). There were no signiifcant differences in such indices as satisfaction in parents of children, cure rate, readmission rate one week after discharge and hospital infection rate between two groups (P>0.05). In research group, 49 infants (51.04%) completed the clinical pathway management. Positive variance was found in 43 infants (44.79%) and negative variance in 4 infants (4.17%). Two infants (2.08%) dropped out. Conclusions For capillary bronchitis in infants, clinical pathway management has an effect on controlling and reducing the medical expenses, and meanwhile improving the medical quality and satisfaction of patients.

Objective To investigate the regulation of IFN-γ to Th17 response in Chlamydia muridarum (Cm) lung infection in mice. Methods A murine model of pneumonia induced by intranasal inoculation of Cm was used for this study. Anti-mouse IFN-γ McAbs were used to neutralize endogenous IFN-γfollowing Cm lung infection. Control group received the same dose of isotype antibody (IgG2a). Mice were sacrificed at day 7 postinfection. Chlamydial growth in the lung was assessed by immunoenzyme technique.IL-17 and IL-23 mRNA expression in the lung was assayed by RT-PCR and the proliferation of IL-17 + CD4 +T cells in the spleen was assayed by intracellular cytokine staining. Results IFN-γ-neutralized mice exhibited serious disease course, include greater body weight loss, higher organism growth and much more severe pathological changes in the lung compared with control mice. The mRNA expression of IL-17 and IL-23 in the lung and the proliferation of IL-17 + CD4 + T cells in the spleen significantly decreased in the IL-17- neutralized mice. Conclusion IFN-γ was protective in Cm lung infection through up-regulating the antigen specific Th17 responses.

OBJECTIVEThe purposes of this study were to investigate effects of chloroqquine (CQ) on inhibiting the decomposition of hydrogen peroxides (HP), and to optimize composition of the tooth-bleaching agent.
METHODSAccording to the principle of the color-changing reaction between horse radish peroxidase and substrate, the tooth-bleaching agent made of HP was divided into four groups with different amounts of CQ. The stability of HP was observed using ELISA for 3 months.
RESULTSWith the prolongation of store time, the absorbance of HP solutions containing different concentrations of CQ declined at different degrees, which showed a dependent relation between absorbance values and concentrations of CQ. Within the range of experiment concentrations of CQ, the higher the concentration of CQ was, the stronger the stability of HP was. And the duration of tooth-bleaching effects in 150.0 mg/ml of CQ was prolonged 4 to 6 times compared to that without CQ.
CONCLUSIONThe data indicate that CQ can inhibit the decomposition of HP. The bleaching effect of the tooth-bleaching agent which is made of HP and proper amount of CQ is satisfactory.
