This article was aimed to explain the distribution of syndrome and study the change of pathogenesis in patients of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk-window (AECOPD-RW) based on clini-cal investigation. The data of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome of patients diagnosed as AECOPD into AECOPD-RW were collected from 8 hospitals. The database was established. Data was analyzed with SPSS 13.0 software. The results showed that among 15 basic syndromes, the syndrome of lung-qi deficiency was with the high-est frequency, which was followed by the syndrome of kidney-qi deficiency and syndrome of phlegm-dampness. A-mong 14 combined syndromes, the syndrome of lung-kidney qi deficiency and the syndrome of phlegm-dampness ac-cumulated in the lung were with the highest frequency. The common syndromes of AECOPD-RW were the syndrome of lung-kidney qi deficiency combined with the syndrome of phlegm-dampness accumulated in the lung, the syn-drome of lung-kidney qi deficiency, the syndrome of lung-spleen qi deficiency combined with the syndrome of phlegm-dampness accumulated in the lung, the syndrome of lung-spleen qi deficiency, the syndrome of lung-kidney qi-yin deficiency combined with the syndrome of phlegm-dampness accumulated in the lung, the syndrome of lung-kidney qi-yin deficiency, the syndrome of lung-kidney qi deficiency combined with the syndrome of phlegm-stasis accumulated in the lung, and the syndrome of lung-kidney qi-yin deficiency combined with the syndrome of phlegm-stasis accumulated in the lung. It was concluded that the main common syndromes of AECOPD-RW was the mixture of deficiency and excess. There was relatively less pure deficiency and excess syndrome.

Objective To investigate the expression and relationship between Phosphatase and tension homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) and Alpha fetoprotein(AFP) in hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods PTEN and AFP expression was examined by immunohistochemical method. Results PTEN expression was significantly weaker in patients with tumor less than 5.0 cm and patients with CLIP score≥1 (P<0.05). The expression of PTEN and AFP was negatively correlated ( Rs=-0.422, P=0.043), serum AFP and tissue expression of AFP was positively correlated (Rs=0.380, P=0.042), but for individual expression was not consistent. Conclusions PTEN and AFP is respectively negative and positive adjustment factor of PI3K/AKT pathway. Tissue expression of AFP may be more significant, and may become the new targets for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

PurposeTo determine the feasibility and accuracy of dual source CT (DSCT) in assessing myocardial delayed-enhancement and left ventricular wall thickness of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in comparison with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).Materials and MethodsEighty patients with HCM confirmed by clinical diagnosis were enrolled in the study. DSCT images and CMR images were acquired at the arterial and lag phases. According to 17-segment model provided by American Heart Association, the left ventricular wall thickness and location of delayed-enhancement were verified, and the correlation of these two methods were analyzed in terms of the diagnosis of myocardial delayed enhancement (MDE).Results1360 myocardial segments for 80 patients were assessed. The left ventricular wall thickness determined by DSCT was significantly correlated with MR results (r=0.88,P<0.01). DSCT and MDE showed substantial agreement on per-patient (n=74,Kappa=0.751,P<0.05) and per-segment (n=1238, Kappa=0.746,P<0.01) levels. For dense myocardial delayed enhancement, CT findings were significantly correlated with those of CMR (r=0.89, P<0.01), but CT scan slightly underestimated the lesion scope of fibrosis. Bland-Altman analysis showed that CT and MRI were different in measuring the lesion volume of myocardial delayed enhancement (mean standard deviation was 2.71%).ConclusionThe cardiac CT examination provides comprehensive information in coronary artery and myocardial assessment, and MDE-DSCT is also effective in the diagnosis of myocardial fibrosis in HCM since it can be used in assessing myocardial fibrosis.

Objective To explore the effect of parvovirus B19 (VB19) infection on pediatric leukemia patients. Methods The pediatric leukemia patients were enrolled in the study in the Children's Hospital of Soochow University. Expression levels of VB19-DNA-PCR were detected using the polymerase chain reaction. Positive patients would be monitored and treated by conventional treatment as well until VB19 gene became negative. The data was compared according to the VB19 clearance time, clinical symptoms and blood counts to evaluate the effect. Results In the 3009 samples from 824 pediatric leukemia patients, there were 36 samples (1.2%) from 12 cases (1.5%) of pediatric leukemia paients with positive VB19 infection. Among the positive patients, 11 cases (1.9%) were from 582 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients and 1 (0.45%) was from 212 with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). According to the treatment stage, 3 cases were in initially diagnosed period, 2 cases in early stage of consolidation chemotherapy, 4 cases in delayed enhanced chemotherapy period, and 3 cases in maintenance chemotherapy period. According to the treatment response, 4 cases were in continuous treatment, 2 cases were sensitive to treatment, and 3 cases were drug resistant. In the drug resistance group, 2 cases developed into the pure red cell aplastic anemia (PRCA). After treatment, one was recovered from PRCA with VB19 cleared, the other one remained PRCA with continuously positive VB19. Conclusions More VB19 virus infection in pediatric ALL happened in delayed enhanced chemotherapy period. The persistent presence of VB19 infection on pediatric leukemia patients is closely related with PRCA.

To identify the genotype and analyze the molecular characteristics of dengue virus strain SZ0524 isolated from serum samples of patients with early stage of dengue fever in Shenzhen in 2005 so as to explore its possible origin. The C6/36 cell line was cultivated with virus strain SZ0524 and its suspension was harvested. The type of isolated virus strain was determined by RT-semi-nested PCR and fluorescent PCR. E gene of isolated virus strain was amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced. Homology and phylogenetic tree of E gene of this dengue virus with the strains isolated from other areas were constructed. This SZ0524 strain was further identified by fluorescent PCR, and confirmed to be the type 4 virus after obtaining the 392bp band with type 4 specific primers. The homology of nucleotide sequence of E gene of SZ0524 strain with the standard type 4 dengue virus H241 strain were 99.7%, but the homology with the standard dengue virus 1,2,3 in the same fragment were 57.0%, 59.2% and 56.2% respectively. Analysis of the phylogenetic tree indicated that SZ0524 was more close to D4-73NIID and D4-61NIID strain, next to H241 strain, and they lied in the same branch of phylogenetic tree. The isolated dengue virus type 4 belonged to genotype Ⅰand the SZ0524 strain was proved to be dengue virus type 4 in the molecular level. Combined with epidemiology information, it is suggested that this case can be classified as an imported case and the SZ0524 strain may be transferred from the southeast asian region.

Objective To discuss indications,operation method and clinical outcome of posterior short-segment pedicle fixation at the injured level for treatment of thoracolumbar spine fractures.Methods A total of 38 patients with thoracolumbar spine fractures were equally randomized to Group A(treated with classic short-segment pedicle screw fixation)and Group B(treated with short-segment pedicle screw fixation at the injured level)based on fixation methods(19 patients per group).Preoperative and postoperative JOA score,segmental lordosis(Cobb' s angle),R value(anterior fractured vertebral body height/mean normal vertebral body height×100%),VSA score and internal fixation condition were assessed and compared clinically.Results All patients were followed up for 6-37 months(mean 20.5 months),which showed no statistical difference upon Frankel scores of two operation modes,while the segmental lordosis,VAS score and R value in Group B were than those in Group A.There occurred nuts loosening in one patient and screw bending in one in Group A.There was no implant breakage,loosening or emersion in Group B.Conclusion Posterior short-segmental fixation at the injured level is an adequate and effective procedure for compression fractures and mild to moderate burst fractures of the thoracolumbar spine.
