05). Conclusion The maternal serum level of ADAM 12 in the first-trimester is a potential marker for aneupolyhaploid screening and early fetal loss prediction, and is suggested to be tested at 9-12 gestational weeks as part of prenatal screening.

N)compared with B/HongKong/330/2001.Conclusions H1,H3 and B virus were circulated in Hebei from 2005 to 2006.Recent viruses were changing in genetic characteristics,while influenza B viruses varied more obviously.

Purpose To establish normative reference ranges of fetal azygos vein between gestation 20.0 and 40.0 weeks and analyze the possible correlation between azygos vein diameter and gestational age.Materials and Methods Retrospectively analyzed the data which collected from pregnant women with singleton pregnancies,1375 fetuses with normal outcome were included.The gestation was from 20.0 weeks to 40.0 weeks.The research objects were divided into 5 groups according to their gestational age and were examined standardized.The fetal normal reference value of azygos vein and its correlation with gestational ages were analyzed.Results The normal reference value of the fetal azygos vein diameter was established.We found that a significant increase linear between the diameter of fetal azygos vein and the gestation age.There was no obvious correlation with sex.The ratio of azygos vein and descending aorta inner diameter was about 0.36.There was on obvious changes in different gestational ages.Conclusions Fetal echocardiography technology can accurately assess fetal cardiac structure,the establishment normal reference value of azygos vein diameter could provide guidance for fetal echocardiography examination.

Objective To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of 1% benadryl and 3 % metronidazle cream in the treatment of topical corticosteroid dependent dermatitis. Methods The study was conducted in a single-blind way. The 86 patients were divided into 3 groups: 1% benadryl and 3 %metronidazle cream (group A), loratadine (group B) and gluco-corticoids (group C). All preparations were applied twice daily for 8 weeks. Study visits took place at baseline and weeks 2, 4 and 8. Results The clinical response rate in the groups A, B and C was 86.20%, 73.33%, and 66.67%, respectively; the clinical response rate in group A was significantly higher than that in groups B and C (P<0.05). Conclusions 1% benadryl and 3 % metronidazle cream are effective and safe in the treatment of topical torticosteroid dependent dermatitis.

AIM: To investigate the effects of uric acid sodium salt (UANa) as adjuvant on humoral and cellular immune response in BALB/c mice. METHODS: BALB/c mice were immunized with trichosanthin (TCS) as antigen together with UANa suspension as adjuvant. The antibody titers of IgG were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Dendritic cells (DC) were induced in vitro, the phenotypes of DC were analyzed by flow cytometry and the effect of UANa on DC maturity was evaluated. A delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) model was used to analyze the effect of UANa on cellular immune responses in vivo. The in vitro proliferation of lymphocytes was determined by ConA stimulation. RESULTS: Freunds adjuvant greatly enhanced the antibody response of mice to TCS, while UANa adjuvant failed to promote the antibody response but significantly reduced the antibody response as compared to TCS only. No effect of UANa on the expression of CD11c and CD83 in DC was observed by flow cytometry analysis. However, UANa significantly enhanced the expression of MHC II molecule. In the DTH model, UANa enhanced the degree of allergen-induced ear swelling and promoted the ability of lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. CONCLUSION: UANa suspension as adjuvant significantly enhances the cellular immune response but inhibits the humoral immune response to a certain degree, suggesting that UANa has potential application in the vaccine research.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of tension-free vaginal tape obturator tape(TVT-O)as treatment of SUI by means of a systematic review and meta analysis.Methods Using the search terms"TVT,TVT-O,SUI,RCT,TOT",the literature in Chinese and English from January 2001 tO March 2007 on the difference of TVT and TVT-O was searched from MEDLINE,PUBMED,EMBASE,Google Scholar,CNKI,WAN FANG DATA,and criteria randomized controlled trials(RCTs)were studied by Meta-analysis in RevMan 4.2.At the same time,Ors of randomized model and fixed model were calculated tO evaluate the sensitivity.Results There were six RCTs that compared TVT-O with TVT.When compared by Subjective cure,TVT-O at 1-17 months were no better than TVT(OR 0.67;95% CI 0.40,1.13).Adverse events such as bladder injuries (OR 0.15;95% CI 0.03,0.66)was less common,where as groin/thigh pain(OR 8.61;95% CI3.03,24.52)was more common;but there were rio significant difference in de novo urgency(OR=1.16;95% CI 0.54,2.47),urinary retention(OR=0.54;95% CI 0.24,1.20)or urinary tract infection(OR=1.07;95% CI 0.61,1.87)between the tWO groups.Conclusions There is no significant difference between TVT and TVT-O.TVT-O group had no bladder injuries complications,but groin/thigh pain was more common.

Objective To explore the manifestations of chest multi-slice spiral CT in patients with initial infection of swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus (S-OIV). Methods The chest multi-slices spirals CT images of 19 firstly diagnosed patients with swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) in our institution were retrospectively studied. CT manifestations were evaluated by three experienced radiologists. Location, appearance of lung abnormalities, abnormal distribution, pleural effusion and others (pericadiaum, lymphadenopathy and pleural thickening) were observed and quantitatively analyzed. The correlation of ground-glass and consolidation CT scores with the fever time was studied. Results The abnormal CT findings were observed bilaterally in 18 of 19 subjects including ground-glass (n= 3), consolidation (n=3 ), consolidation accompanied with ground-glass (n=12). Most of these lesions were distributed diffusively (n=14) while the others located in the middle and low lobes (n= 4). Unilateral (n=3) or bilateral (n=2) pleural effusion were observed. Lymphadenopathy (n=2), effusion of pericadium (n=1), pleural thickening (n=1) and cardiac enlargement (n=2) were also found in patients with H1N1. CT scores of ground-glass were 4. 25(n=2),3.75 (n=1),2.25(n=1),1.75(n=1),1.00(n=6),0.75(n=2), 0.50(n=2),0(n=4).CT scores of consolidation were4.25(n=1),4.00(n=1),3.75 (n=1), 2.75(n=1),1.25(n=3),1.00(n=2),0.75(n=2),0.50(n=1),0.25(n=3),0(n=4). CT scores of ground-glass were significantly correlated with the fever time (r= 0.776, P < 0.01), CT scores of consolidation had no correlation with the fever time(r=0.322,P > 0.01). Conclusions The most common CT findings in patients with S-OIV infection are diffuse distribution of bilateral ground-glass opacities with or without associated focal or multifocal areas of consolidation. The increasing of ground-glass's range could be the marker of progression of H1N1 pulmonary infection at initial stage.
