Objective To provide a reference for prevention of trace elements deficiency in children by investigating the distribution and variation law of Ca,Cu,Zn,Fe,Mg of children in Beijing area.Methods Five kinds of trace elements( Ca,Cu,Zn,Fe,Mg) in peripheral blood of 7972 children of Beijing Children's Hospital for health examination from 2010 to 2011 were detected by atomic absorption spectrometer.The children were Beijing urban residents.They were divided into five age groups:infancy group ( 1 - 12 months,1506 cases),toddler age group ( 1 - 2 years,2766 cases),preschool age group ( 3 - 6 years,1918 cases),school age group (7 - 11 years,1576 cases) and adolescence group ( 12 - 18 years,206 cases).According to gender,each group was sub-divided into male and female group.The distributions of the 5 kinds of trace elements were analyzed among different age and gender groups.Results With the age increasing,the trend of the levels of Ca and Cu were downward,but the levels of Zn and Fe were upward,and the level of Mg was stable.For boys and girls,the levels of Cu in infancy group were (21.90 ±2.89) and(21.25 ±2.80) μmoL/L; in toddler age group,they were (21.76 ±2.78)and (21.29 ±2.69) μmol/L; in preschool age group,they were ( 21.32 ± 2.83 ) and ( 20.88 ± 2.84 ) μ mol/L; and in school age group,they were (20.81 ± 3.02 ) and ( 20.36 ± 3.37 ) μmol/L,respectively.The distribution of Cu showed significantly different among different gender groups ( t =4.640,4.475,3.290,2.894; P ＜ 0.01 ).In adolescence group,the levels of Cu were ( 19.53 ± 2.91 ) and (20.30 ± 2.90) μmol/L for boys and girls respectively and there was no significant difference ( t =- 1.796,P ＞ 0.05 ).In each gender group,the content of Ca,Zn,Fe,and Mg was not significantly different between boys and girls.It was common for the deficiency of Zn and Fe in all ages.Their total deficiency rates were 58.9％ and 19.2％.The deficiency rates of Zn and Fe in infancy were 67.7％ and 42.3％.Conclusions The distributions of Ca,Cu,and Mg in peripheral blood of children in Beijing become reasonable.Fe and Zn are deficient in different degree,and should be rationally used according to clinical guide.

Objective To investigate whether the expression frequency and function of peripheral and liver NK cells was correlated with the liver injury in patients with hepatitis B virus related acute-on-chronic liver failure(HBV-ACLF).Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from fifteen HBV-ACLF patients and fifteen chronic hepatitis B patients.The frequency of peripheral NK cells (CD3-CD56+) and CD107a expression on surface of peripheral NK cells were detected by multicolor flow cytometry.Expression of IFN-γ by peripheral NK cells was detected by intracellular cytokine staining.Needle biopsy liver tissues were obtained from twenty patients with HBV-ACLF,ten patients with mild CHB,and expression of live NK cells (CD3-CD57+) was analyzed by dual immmunohistochemical staining of CD 3 and CD57.Results There was no significant difference in the frequency of peripheral NK cell and IFN-γ expression by peripheral NK cells between HBV-ACLF and mild CHB patients.However,CD107a expression on surface of peripheral NK cells of HBV-ACLF patients was remarkably higher than that of CHB patients.The frequency of liver CD57+NK cell of HBV-ACLF patients was remarkably higher than that of CHB patients(95.1 ±21.3/low power field vs 9.5±10.6/low power field,P＜0.01).Further analysis revealed that the frequency of liver CD57+ NK cells in HBV-ACLF patients was positively correlated with the TBIL level.Conclusion The enhanced cytotoxic activity of peripheral NK cells and the recruitment of liver CD57+ NK cells may aggravate immune-mediated liver injury and promote the apoptosis and necrosis of hepatocytes.

Objective To investigate the role of the chemokine receptor CXCR3 and its ligands in the migration of lymphocytes and acute hepatic failure. Methods BALB/cJ mice (6-8 weeks, female) were intraperitoneally injected with 100 PFU mouse hepatitis virus-3(MHV-3). The proportions and numbers of T cells and NK cells in liver, spleen, and blood as well as the expression of CXCR3 in T cells, and NK cells post MHV-3 infection was analyzed by flow cytometry. The hepatic mRNA level of the CXCR3-associated chemokines(CXCL9 and CXCL10) was detected by real-time PCR. A transwell migration assay was used to assess the chemotactic effect of MHV-3-infected hepatocytes and CXCL10 on the splenic lymphocytes. Results Following MHV-3 infection, the number of hepatic NK cells and T cells and the frequencies of hepatic NK cells and T cells expressing CXCR3 increased markedly; however, in the spleen and peripheral blood, they both decreased significantly. Moreover, the hepatic mRNAs levels of CXCL9 and CXCL10 were significantly elevated post infection. The transwell migration assay demonstrated that MHV-3-infected hepatocytes have the capacity to attract and recruit the splenic NK cells and T cells, and CXCL10 plays a key role in lymphocyte mobilization from the spleen. Conclusion Interactions between CXCR3 and its ligands (CXCL9 and CXCL10),especially CXCL10 may play a key role in the recruitment of intrahepatic lymphocytes and subsequent necroinflammation and acute hepatic failure in MHV-3 infection.

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) has been curently used for tracing the interrelationship between neurons in peripheral and central nervnos system. In order to differentiate endo-and exogenous peroxidases, 15 adult, healthy rats were selected for investigating the distribution of endogenous peroxidase in tissues. Fresh cryostat frozen sections of brain were fixed in fixatives of various concentrations and PH, and sections were made after perfusion of the fixative through heart. They were incubated in media containing DAB and hydrogenperoxide. Potassium cynide or sodium azide was used as inhibitators.The reaction of peroxidase in medula oblongata, pons, midbrain, thalamus, hypothamus, hippocampus and striatum etc were studied with dark field and transmitted light microscope. In the superficial layer of the Ⅲ and Ⅳ ventricles and periaqueductal gray substance of midbrain, there were large number of dark brown peroxidase granules with non neuronal distribution.The peroxidase granules were found in the entire or the dorasal part of locus ceruleus, the ventral part of cerebellum and the dorasal part of hippocampus. Small amount of granules were located in medial nucleus of habenularis, stria medullaris, nucleus supraopticus hypothalami and suprachiasmaticus. Large amount of positive reactive granules were found in nucleus arcuate. Some of them were localized in the perineurons of polydendritic neurons but most of them were of nonneuronal distribution. Sparse granules were also observed in the dorsomedial part of nucleus caudatus putamen and dorsal part of nucleus septicus lateralis. In commisure fornix and corpus callosum, the granules were distributed along the nerve fiber bundle. There were large amount of positive reactive granules around the subfornix organ especially on its dorsal part. To sum up, the main distribution of them are periventricular, periaqueductal gray substance and periventricular organs (such as area postrema, locus coeruleus, nucleus arcuata, subfonix organ and several neurosecretory nuclei of hypothalamus). It seems that the distribution of this enzymes might be closely related to synthesis, metabolism and release of the neurosecretion or transmitters of these nuclei and some of them might act through the cerebro-spinal fluid.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of retroperitoneal laparoscopic simple nephrectomy. Methods Retroperitoneal laparoscopic simple nephrectomy was performed in 6 patients, including 5 cases of severe hydronephrosis with non-functioning kidney resulted from ureteral calculi and 1 case of renal tuberculosis. The operation was conducted via retroperitoneal approach. After the upper ureter and the renal pedicle were exposed, the renal artery and vein were clipped and severed. The renal pedicle was occluded only with titanium clips before the removal of the kidney. Results All the operations were performed successfully without complications. The operation time was 130~220 min (mean, 150 min) and the intraoperative blood loss, 80~150 ml (mean, 120 ml). The postoperative hospital stay ranged 5~7 days. Follow-ups for 3 months in the 5 patients with ureterolithiasis revealed normal renal functions. The patient with renal tuberculosis was given anti-tuberculosis therapy and followed for 6 months. No recurrence was seen and the patient’s serum creatinine level was 120 ?mol/L, which was slightly higher than the normal. Conclusions Retroperitoneal laparoscopic simple nephrectomy has advantages of minimal invasion, short hospital stay and rapid recovery. The procedure should be regarded as the “golden standard” for simple nephrectomy.

Objective To investigate the effects of phenylephrine and norepinephrine on tissue oxygen metabolism in elderly patients undergoing fluid restriction. Methods Eighty elderly patients who had underwent elective colorectal surgery were selected, with ASA of Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade. The patients were divided into restricted fluid administration combined with phenylephrine group (group Ⅰ) and restricted fluid administration combined with norepinephrine group (groupⅡ) by random digits table with 40 cases each. The compound recipe sodium lactate was given at a rate of 5 ml/(kg · h). Small dose of phenylephrine was infused intravenously at 0.1-0.3μg/(kg · min) simultaneously during the surgery in group Ⅰ, or norepinephrine 0.01-0.03 μg/(kg · min) in group Ⅱ. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was maintained ≥ 65 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa). The intraoperative blood loss was replaced with the equal volume of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4. The blood gas analysis, hemoglobin and so on were determined before the surgery (T0), 1 h after beginning of surgery (T1), 2 h after beginning of surgery (T2) and at the time of leaving operation room (T3). The complications were recorded. Results There were no statistical differences in MAP, central venous pressure (CVP), heart rate, lactic acid, arterial partial pressure of oxygen, central venous oxygen pressure, central venous blood oxygen saturation, oxygen uptake rate, hemoglobin, albumin, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and incidence of complication between 2 groups (P>0.05). The T1-3 hemoglobin and arterial oxygen content (CaO2), T1 and T3 venous oxygen content (CcvO2) and T2 atrerial venous oxygen content differences (Da-cvO2) in groupⅠwere significantly higher than those in groupⅡ, hemoglobin:(103.8 ± 7.9) g/L vs. (110.8 ± 8.6) g/L, (101.7 ± 7.7) g/L vs. (107.3 ± 7.8) g/L and (101.6 ± 6.9) g/L vs. (106.8 ± 5.6) g/L; CaO2: (140.6 ± 9.7) mmol/L vs. (149.6 ± 10.5) mmol/L, (137.5 ± 9.3) mmol/L vs. (144.9 ± 10.2) mmol/L and (137.2 ± 9.2) mmol/L vs. (143.1 ± 8.9) mmol/L;CcvO2:(119.8 ± 10.2) mmol/L vs. (126.4 ± 10.8) mmol/L and (102.3 ± 8.6) mmol/L vs. (108.5 ± 8.9) mmol/L;Da-cvO2:(19.6 ± 3.9) mmol/L vs. (23.0 ± 4.5) mmol/L, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions Phenylephrine has more effect on tissue oxygen metabolism in the elderly patients undergoing fluid-restricted abdominal surgery.
