Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is characterized by hemophagocytosis and a reactive process resulting from prolonged and excessive activation of antigen presenting cells (macrophages,histiocytes) and CD8+ T cells.The majority of genetic causes identified to date affect the cytotoxic function of NK and T cells,crippling immunologic mechanisms that mediate natural immune contraction.The predominant clinical findings of HLH are fevers (often hectic and persistent),cytopenias,hepatitis and splenomegaly.Due to the life-threatening implications of the diagnosis of genetically determined HLH,antiinflammatory therapy,often consisting of steroids,etoposide or antithymocyte globulin,should be instituted promptly,followed by curative hematopoietic cell transplantation.Secondary HLH,associated with autoimmune disorders or viral infections in teens and adults,should control the primary inflammatory.

Objective To investigate the measurement standards and clinical application of observing anatomical morphologies and contractile function of puborectalis muscle on pelvic floor parasagittal plane by endoluminal two-dimensional ultrasonography.Methods The thickness and thickening rate of puborectalis muscle of 78 young nulliparous women were measured on pelvic floor parasagittal plane at three levelsurethral level (anterior),vaginal level (central) and rectal level (posterior),both at rest and during contraction.And the thickening rates of these parts during contraction were compared with each other.Interclass correlation coefficients were calculated to evaluate the consistency of the datas.Results At rest,thickness of anterior part of the left was (9.23 ± 0.20)mm,and that of the right was (8.99 ± 0.20)mm.During contraction,thickness of anterior parts of bilateral puborectalis muscle were significantly thicker than that of central or posterior parts (P ＜0.05).The interclass coefficients were more than 0.93 and 0.83.Conclusions The endoluminal two-dimensional ultrasonography can be used to observe morphologies and contractile function dynamically of puborectalis on pelvic floor parasagittal plane.It is simple,reproducible and worthy of clinical promotion.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of atorvastatin combined with methylprednisolone on the liver function of ne-phrotic syndrome patients. METHODS:The data of 93 patients with primary nephritic syndrome were retrospectively analyzed and divided into atorvastatin group,methylprednisolone group and combination group by different medication. Atorvastatin group was orally given atorvastatin 20 mg at bedtime,once a day+aspirin;methylprednisolone group was orally given methylprednisolone 0.8 mg/kg in the early morning,once a day+aspirin;combination group was given atorvastatin+methylprednisolone+aspirin(the same usage and dosage with the above-mentioned groups). The course was 4 weeks. The clinic data was observed,including ALT,AST, GGT,TB and DB before and after treatment,the incidence of patients with drug-induced liver disease and prognosis of patients with drug-induced liver disease. RESULTS:After treatment,the ALT,AST and GGT in atorvastatin group and combination group were significantly higher than before,with significant difference(P<0.05);compared with other parameters and all indexes in methylprednisolone group before and after treatment,there were no significant differences(P>0.05). There was no significant dif-ference in the elevated rate of ALT among groups(P>0.05);the incidence of drug-induced liver disease in combination group was significantly higher than atorvastatin group and methylprednisolone group,with significant difference(P<0.05). ALT in combina-tion group was significantly decreased and returned to pretreatment levels after atorvastatin withdrawal and 2 weeks of hepatoprotec-tants treatment for 7 patients with drug-induced liver disease. CONCLUSIONS:Atorvastatin combined with methylprednisolone has high risk on liver function in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome. Pretreatment levels can be recovered by both drug withdrawal and symptomatic treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To compare inhibition effects of arsenacetylic acid(ASAC) on experimental H22 hepatoma-bearing mice in different forms of administration. METHODS: The mice were divided into 5 groups at random after inoculated with H22 hepatoma into their right axillas hypodermic by intraperitoneal injection(ip) and intravenous injection(iv), and then injected with normal saline,cyclophosphamide and different dosage of ASAC, observe the rate of tumor strain becoming tumor, the inhibition effects of the subjects and the effects of the subjects on mice's viscera. RESULTS: Compared with ip,either high, moderate or low dosage of ASAC by iv did have an obvious inhibitory effect on tumor and the tumor inhibition rates were 46.59%, 46.31% and 32.48% respectively; however, the spleen index in groups that of lower dosage of ASAC by two forms of drug administration were increased; there were death by poisoning in the group that iv with high dosage of ASAC.CONCLUSION: Compared with ip, the administration of ASAC by iv has a better effect on tumor.

Objective To study that Geranylgeranylacetone(GA) induce the expression of heat shock protein 70 expression in hippocampus of Alzheimer's model rats and its effect on learning and memory ability in the model rats induced by Aβ1-42 injection into hippocampus.Method 72 health SD rats were randomly divided into GGA group,model group was injected with Aβ1-42 and control group was injected with normal saline into hippocampus.Y maze test was used to detect the learning and memory ability of the rats at the 7th,14th and 21st day after injection into hippocampus separately.HSP70 expression in hippocampus tissues were detected by RT-PCR and western-blot as soon as Y maze test has been finished.Result The learning and memory ability of the rats in model group decreased significantly at the 14th and 21st day after injection than those in control group(P<0.05),but not too much changed in GGA group(P<0.05).HSP70 expres- sions in hippocampus tissues in model group decreased gradually after injection Aβ1-42,but increased in GGA group at the 7th,14th and 21st day after injection.Conclusion GGA can induce the expression of HSP70 in hippocarnpus of Alzheimer's model rats and meliorate the neuron impairment as well as the learning and memory ability of the rats.

Objective To evaluate the value of CYRTA21-1,CEA and SPECT in diagnosis of bone metastasis in lung cancer.Methods 216 patients with lung cancer were examined by radionuclide bone imaging and serum CYFRA21-1,CEA.20 patients with benign lung disease were also studied.Results 121 of the 216 lung cancer patients were confirmed bone metastasis including 101 multi-metastasis and 20 singu- lar-metastasis. The positive rate was 56.02 %.The serum CYFR21-1,CEA level and positive rate of lung cancer patients with bone metastasis were obviously higher than those of patients without bone metastasis or with benign lung disease.The level of serum CYFR21-1,CEA had significant difference(P

OBJECTIVE: To determine if greater efficacy could be achieved with the intranasal antihistamine azelastine and the intranasal corticosteroid fluticasone propionate used concurrently in the treatment of nasal obstruction of persistent non-allergic rhinitis. METHOD: A total of 162 persistent non-allergic rhinitis cases with moderate to severe nasal obstruction were randomized to treatment with the following: the combination therapy or nasal corticosteroids monotherapy. Efficacy was assessed by change from baseline in nasal obstruction score at week 2 and week 6 visits. The perceptions of global treatment satisfaction(convenience, side effects, cost and effectiveness) in both groups were analyzed. RESULT: In both groups, the nasal obstruction score assessment descended significantly at week 2 and week 6 visits versus at baseline (all P < 0.01). At week 2 and week 6 visits, the nasal obstruction score in the combination therapy groups were significantly improved than that in nasal corticosteroids monotherapy groups (all P < 0.01). The perceptions of global treatment satisfaction in the combination therapy groups were significantly better (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Azelastine nasal spray and intranasal corticosteroid in combination may provide a substantial therapeutic benefit for patients with persistent non-allergic rhinitis, especially nasal obstruction. The combination therapy was well tolerated and safety.

The enzymatic degumming of ramie bast fibers is a kind of method with high performance, superior quality, free from pollution that directly makes use of the extra cellular enzyme or zymin produced in the fermentation process of microorganisms to degrade the gum. So far, many investigations regarding this aspect have been conducted at home and abroad, and screened various strains including aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria. Comparison with the chemical degumming, the enzymatic degumming shows the advantage of improving the quality of refined dried-ramie, significantly lowering the pollution of the environment, and isone of the main development directions in the future. At the same time, if the degumming technology is extensively applied into industrialization production, the dosage of enzymes will prodigiously increase, which will promote the development of the industry on enzymes.

Objective:To investigate the expression of MST1 in ovarian cancer (OV) , its relationship with the clinicopathological characteristics, and the potential molecular mechanism.Methods:62 OV patients admitted to Chongqing Emergency Medical Center and the Fifth People’s Hospital of Chongqing from Mar. 2016 to Feb. 2020 were selected. The expression levels of mRNA were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. [MST1 over-expression group: 24 h: (0.31±0.02) , 48 h: (0.44±0.03) , 72 h: (0.62±0.02) ; Blank group:24 h: (0.32±0.02) , (0.55±0.02) , (0.74±0.02) ;MST1 empty vector group:24 h: (0.32±0.03) , 48 h: (0.56±0.02) , 72 h: (0.77±0.02) ]Results:The expression of MST1 was lower in OV than in adjacent tissues[ (0.52±0.12) vs (1.18±0.21) ]. MST1 expression level was not related to age, but significantly correlated with the size of the tumors[ (0.46±0.12) vs (0.58±0.10) , P=0.00], TNM[ (0.57±0.10) vs (0.43±0.12) , P=0.00], TNM stage 9 (0.57±0.10) vs (0.43±0.12) , P=0.00] and lymph node metastasis[ (0.47±0.14) vs (0.56±0.09) , P=0.003]. Over-expression of MST1 obviously inhibited cellular proliferation in OV (MST1 over-expression group: 24 h: 0.31±0.02, 48 h: 0.44±0.03, 72 h: 0.62±0.02; blank group: 24 h: 0.32±0.02, 0.55±0.02, 0.74±0.02; empty vector group: 24 h: 0.32±0.03, 48 h: 0.56±0.02, 72 h: 0.77±0.02) . MST1 over-expression could promote FOXO3 expression, ,the expression level of FOXO3 in Mst1 overexpression group and control group were[ (0.61±0.04) vs (0.41±0.03) ]. MST1 inhibited proliferation of OV cells through upregulating the expression of FOXO3. Conclusions:The expression of MST1 is closely related to the clinicopathological features of OV patients, and MST1 may restrain OV by positively regulating FOXO3 expression.
