Objective To analyze the correlation between serum interleukin-18(IL-18) level and changes of heart function in children with viral myocarditis(VM).Methods Seventy-two cases with VM were selected from Tianjin Children's Hospital.Control group were selected from the patients in surgery outpatient department.The patient group was divided into 3 groups which were named non-heart failure group,heart failure group and cardiogenic shock group.The Pillip Sonos 5500 type echocardiogram was applied to measured the left ventricular fractional shortening(LVFS),ejection fraction (EF),left atrium inner diameter(LAD),left ventricular end diastolic inner diameter (LVEDD)and left ventricular end systolic inner diameter(LVESD) in patient group,descripted function change of their heart.ELISA method was used to measure the content of IL-18 in 15 cases of control group and 36 cases of patient group.All data were analyzed by SPSS 11.5 software.Results 1.The LVESD in shock group were larger than that in non-heart failure group and heart failure group,abnormality probability of LVFS and EF step up from non-heart failure group to heart failure group and to shock group.2.The serum IL-18 level in patient group was higher than that in control group (P

OBJECTIVETo assess the sensory integration function of children with primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) and explore the role of sensory integration dysfunction in the pathogenesis of PNE.

METHODSSensory integration function was assessed by the Childhood Sensory Integration Ability Development Checklist in 46 children with PNE and 46 normal children (control).

RESULTSThe incidence of sensory integration dysfunction in the PNE group (82.6%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (43.5%)(P<0.01). Seventeen patients (36.9%) presented with severe sensory integration dysfunction in the PNE group but only 1 (2.1%) in the control group (P<0.01). The scores of all nine sensory integration indexes revealed by sensory integration function testing in the PNE group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONSChildren with PNE have sensory integration dysfunction. Sensory integration dysfunction may be associated with the pathogenesis of PNE.

Objective To analyze the spectrum of underlying diseases in children with transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) through a multi-center and large sample clinical research.Methods Nine hundred and thirty-seven children with TLOC who came from Beijing,Hunan province,Hubei province and Shanghai of China from Aug 1999 to Apr 2011 were recruited in the present study,and then the spectrum of underlying diseases in children with TLOC was analyzed.Results In 937 children with TLOC,903 cases (96.4％ )were children with syncope,34 cases (3.6％) were non-syncope.And in 903 children with syncope,213 cases (23.6％) had vasovagal syncope (VVS) with vasoinhibitory response,46 cases (5.1％ ) had VVS with cardioinhibitory response,112 cases ( 12.4％ ) had VVS with mixed response,268 cases (29.7％ ) had postural tachycardia syndrome,22 cases (2.4％) had orthostatic hypotension,19 cases (2.1％ ) had situational syncope,21 cases (2.3％ ) had cardiogenic syncope,and 202 cases (22.4％ ) had unexplained syncope.Conclusion In children with TLOC,syncope was the most common underlying disease.And in children with syncope,the most common was VVS,followed by postural tachycardia syndrome.In three different hemodynamic patterns of VVS,the most common pattern was VVS vasoinhibitory pattern.

In this study,a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV),named as 8C9 and4B4,were produced by fusing SP2/0 myeloma cells and spleen cells of BALB/c mice immunized with the PRRSV (TCID50=5.5),screened by the indirect ELISA and subjected to several limiting dilutions.mAbs were then identified by biological characterization.Among the two fusion cell strains,8C9 belonged to the IgG1 subclass and 4B4 belonged to the IgG2a subclass.The titers in cell culture supernatant and abdomen liquor reached to 1:104and 1:105,respectively.The specificity test indicated that the two cells had specific reactions for the PRRSV and GP5 protein respectively,and no reaction with Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) or Swine vesicular disease virus (SVDV).The molecular weights of the heavy chain and light chain were about 45.0 kDa and 25.0 kDa,respectively.In neutralization activity tests,the results showed that the prepared mAb 4B4 can protect 50% of cells with no CPE in dilution up to 1:512,but mAB 8C9 has no neutralization activities to PRRSV.

Objective　To study the effects of systemic irradiation and conglutinant drug W11-a12 on the number and some functions of wound nentrophils (Neu). Methods　Wound Neu was collected from sponges which were implanted in rat's dorsum incision. The number of Neu, as well as the phagocytic function and motility of wound Neu were measured. Results　After 4,6,8 Gy systemic irradiation, the number of white blood cells and Neu in wound, as well as the phagocytic function and chemotactic motility of wound Neu, were significantly decreased at 24 h, 48 h after wounding. W11-a12 markedly increased the number of wound Neu, improved the phagocytic function and chemotactic motility of wound Neu at 24 h, 48 h after wounding despite the rats were radiated or not. Conclusion　The results indicated that the decreased number and function of wound Neu in the early stage of wound healing contributed to the impairment of repair after systemic irradiation. W11-a12 accelerated normal and irradiation-impaired wound healing partly by increasing the number of wound Neu and improving the Neu function.

Objective To evaluate the effect of multiple intervention measures on perioperative antimicrobial use in pa-tients undergoing typeⅠincision operation in a hospital,and provide basis for rational use of antimicrobial agents. Methods 9 823 patients with type I incision operation in April and October of 2005-2012 were surveyed retrospectively, data of 2005 was as baseline,from 2006 to 2012,multiple measures,including training,examination,supervision,feed-back,and cooperation of relevant departments were conducted,antimicrobial use before and after intervention was com-pared.Results The qualified rate of perioperative antimicrobial use in patients undergoing typeⅠ incision operation in-creased from 14.20% in 2006 to 92.30% in 2012;the rate of combined use of antimicrobial agents was relatively higher (7.00%-9.00%)in 2006-2009,had a downward trend in 2010- 2012,and decreased to 3.20% in 2012.Types of an-timicrobial agents for prophylactic use in typeⅠincision operation in 2006 and 2007 were similar to that of 2005,the main used antimicrobial agents were cephalosporins,penicillin and it’s compounds,and aminoglycosides;the major antimicrobial prophylaxis in 2008-2012 were the first and second generation cephalosporins,penicillin and it’s compounds.Multivariate non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed that age (40 - 59 years old),departments (orthopedics,general surgery,and ophthalmology),and years (2011 and 2012)were the main influencing factors for the qualified use of antimicrobial agents(all P<0.05).Conclusion Implementation of multiple intervention measures can improve the qualified rate of perioperative antimicrobial use in typeⅠ incision operation,reduce types of antimicrobial use and rate of combined antimicrobial use.

OBJECTIVE To establish a simple,sensitive method for detecting the double mutation of the basal core promoter(BCP) of HBV.METHODS FAM fluorescence-labeled TaqMan MGB and primers driving from the region containing the double mutation of BCP were designed for the real time PCR,then the standard positive control,standard negative control and HBV DNA were amplified and detected by the real time PCR.The results of detecting the double mutation of BCP were validated by the direct-sequencing analysis of PCR products.RESULTS The double mutation of BCP of HBV could be detected by the real time PCR.The sensitivity of the method was 3?100 copy templates and as few as 1% of mutant among wild-type virus sequence were detected.CONCLUSIONS The method can be used to detect the double mutation of BCP of serum HBV DNA.
