Objective To evaluate the relationship between airway inflammation before treatment and asthma status and response to inhaled corticosteroids treatment in children with mild or moderate asthma. Methods Eighty-seven children diagnosed with mild or moderate asthma were enrolled as study group, 20 healthy children as control group. Sputum induction, cellular differential count, and the assaying of mediators in sputum supernatant were performed before treatment with corticosteroids. Eosinophil cationic protein were measured by enzyme-linked fluorescent assay, interleukin-8 and transforming growth factor-β_1 (TGF-β_1) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Pulmonary function tests were performed for small airway function on the baseline and methacholine bronchial provocation tests were performed to screen airway hyperresponsiveness. SPSS13.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results (1) Among the 87 patients, 64 patients were studied as eosinophil asthma (EA) group, 23 patients as non-eosinophil asthma (NEA) group according to the ratio of eosinophils in sputum. The percentages of inflammatory cells and level of ECP, IL-8 were of significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05), other indexes as FEV_1% pred, PEF% pred, moderate-severe AHR%. small airway function were also of significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). (2) Patients in EA group showed significant improvement in pulmonary function, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and small airway function after treatment with inhaled corticosteroids compared with NEA group. (3) Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that among the different baseline variants considered only baseline FEVl%pred, sputum eosinophil percentages (EOS%), sputum TGF-β_1 significantly correlated with the response to inhaled cortieosteroids, moreover, sputum eosinophil percentages had the closest correlation (β= 0.583, t = 6.214, P < 0.05). Conclusions There were different patterns of airways inflammation in children with mild or moderate asthma. Sputum eosinophilia was associated with asthma status. Low sputum eosinophils, low FEV_1%pred, high sputum TGF-β_1 before treatment predict poor response to treatment with inhaled corticosteroids. Evaluation of those baseline indexes may be helpful to an individualized therapeutic regime.

Purpose To analyze and summarize morphological characteristics, the immune phenotype, diagnosis and differential diag-nosis, clinical features and prognosis of epithelioid angiomyolipomas retrospectively, to deepen understanding of EAML and improve the diagnostic accuracy. Methods The pathological morphology was observed and immunohistochemistry of phenotypic characteristics were analyzed in 7 cases of epithelioid angiomyolipomas. Results Seven cases of epithelioid angiomyolipomas had similar morphology:larger tumor cells, ovoid, fusiform or polygonal, with abundant and eosinophilic cytoplasm, a big nucleus of different size with obvious nucleoli, polynuclear and gaint tumor cells, with a few mitotic figures. The tumor cells arranged in nests or sheets, cuff-shaped around the blood vessels. Immunohistochemistry showed that the tumor cells were positive for HMB-45, Melan-A, vimentin and SMA, but negative for EMA, CK, and CD10. All of them underwent radical surgery or surgical resection, and were followed up for 3~56 months after operation. 6 cases were alive, without recurrence and metastasis, while 1 case died of gastrointestinal stromal sarcomas 3 months later. Conclusion Epithelioid angiomyolipomas belong to mesenchymal tumors with malignant potential, pathological morphology would be easily misdiagnosed as malignant tumors. Immunohistochemistry plays an important role in the differential diagnosis. Surgical treatment is the main method at present, with possibility of recurrence or metastasis.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antibiotics in the clinic of our hospital. METHODS:Drug re-sistance of Gram-negative bacillus in the inpatients of our hospital were analyzed retrospectively during May 2013-Dec. 2015 as well as the situation of producing metallo-β-lactamase(MBLs). RESTUTS:A total of 2089 strains of Gram-negative bacillus were detected in our hospital during 2013-2015,among which there were 1456 strains of enterobacteria (69.70%) and 633 strains of non-fermentative bacteria,mainly involving Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Acinetobacter bau-mannii and Enterobacter cloacae. A total of 406 strains of carbapenems-resistant bacteria were detected (19.44%),including 367 strains of non-fermentative bacteria and 39 strains of enterobacteria. The resistant rates of carbapenems-resistant strains to 16 antibi-otics were all higher than 50%,but those of non-carbapenems-resistant strains were in relative low level. Except for aztreonam,re-sistant rates of carbapenems-resistant strains to other 15 antbiotics were all higher than those of non-carbapenems-resistant strains, with statistical significance(P<0.05). A total of 36 strains of producing MBLs were detected(8.87%),including 13 strains of pro-ducing MBLs drug-resistant P. aeruginosa and 23 strains of producing MBLs drug-resistant A. baumannii;producing MBLs drug re-sistant enterobacteria had not been found. CONCLUSIONS:Gram-negative bacillus are mainly enterobacteria in our hospital;car-bapenems-resistant strains are mainly non-fermentative bacteria,resistant rate of them are commonly higher than that of non-drug-re-sistant strain. The situation of producing MBLs is serious,and enzyme producing strains are mainly non-fermentative bacteria. It is necessary to strengthen drug resistance of pathogen and enzyme producing strain monitoring,avoid the generation and spreading of drug-resistant strains due to irrational use of antibiotics.
