Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ) receptors antagonist on the LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALl).Method Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group;in LPS group,mrs were treated with LPS (10 mg/kg) at 3,6,12,and 24 hours;in LPS+ AngⅡreceptors antagonist group,pre-expasure to AngⅡreceptors antagonist [Sar~1,Ile~8] AngⅡfor 30 minutes before treated with LPS (10 mg/kg) for 6 hours.All the rats were killed,and the lung tissue was collected.Results Compared with control group pulmonary wet/dry weight ratio was significantly higher in the other two groups (P

Leukotriene is a crucial inflammation medium in the process of asthma,involved in the inflammation and remodeling of airway.This article summarizes the origin,synthesis and biological activity of leukotriene in asthma.and discuss the implications of leukotriene receptor antagonists(Montelukast)for asthma in children.The randomized.double-blind and muhicenter clinical trials are needed to determine the efficacy of Montelukast in infants less than 2 years old with asthma.

This paper was aimed to investigate the effects of icariin on the expression of p38 mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK)protein in rat osteoblasts cultured in vitro, to elucidate the signal transduction of icariin in preventing and treating osteoporosis. The results showed that p38MAPK could be activated by icariin within 5min, and Cbfal could also be upregulated, and SB203580, an inhibitor of p38MAPK pathway, could partly inhibit Cbfal upregulation by icariin.

Objective To investigate the effects of propofol and inhalation anesthetics on the implicit memory under general anesthesia and determine the critical value of auditory evoked potential index (AEI) at which implicit memory no longer exists. Methods Sixty ASA I-II patients of both sexes scheduled for elective abdominal surgery or surgery on lower limb were enrolled in the study. They averaged (41.25?9.25) years and (63.8?9.57) kg. Patients with psychoneural or memory disorders were excluded. The patients were randomly divided into five groups of 12 patients in each group: isoflurane, sevoflurane, desflurane, propofol and control group. Each inhalation anesthetic group was further divided into two subgroups based on their end-tidal concentration: 0.8 or 1 .0 MAC. Propofol group was divided into two groups based on the infusion rate: 8 mg.kg. h-1 or 10mg.kg.h-1 . In control group operation was performed under epidural anesthesia. The patients were unpremedicated. Anesthesia was induced with propofot 1 .5-2.0 mg.kg and vecuronium 0. 　-0.2mg.kg-1, and maintained with inhalation anesthetic or propofol infusion supplemented with intermittent boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium. AEI was continuously monitored and recorded before anesthesia (T0), when the patient was sleepy (T1 ) and did not respond to verbal command (T2 ), after intubation (T3), after skin incision (T4), when peritoneum was being closed (or 30 min before the surgery) ( T5 ) and during emergence from anesthesia ( T6 ) . Eight hours after surgery muddy identified hearing rate was determined. Hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored during operation. Results There was significant difference in AEI between the two subgroups before and after induction (P

To study the invasiveness of endometrial cells of endometriosis. 49 specimens of either normal endometrials or that from endometriosis were cultured, and the invasiveness of them different cells was studied by Transwell Col Insert cell culture plate. The results showed that the invasiveness of stromal cells was stronger than that of epithelial cells; the invasiveness of cells from patients with endometriosis was stronger than that of the controls. The results suggested that stromal and epithelial cell of the endometrium may play different roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis; the character of the endometrium from patients with endometriosis was different from that of women without endometriosis.

Objective To investigate the therapy effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on renal recovery after ischemia-reperfusion injured. Methods Seventy-two Spargue-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups as normal control, sham operated control, I/R group(n=30) and the MSCs group. Rats were subjected to 45 min bilateral renal ischemial-reperfusion injury with microvascular clips, after 60 min of reperfusion they were injected in BrdU positive MSCs(1?106/mL)intravenously. The animals were sacrificed at 12 h, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, and 42 d after reperfusion, and the bilateral kidney and blood samples were harvested. The blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and serum creatinine(Scr) were measured on automatic biochemistry analyzer. Renal morphologic changes were scored with Paller’s criterion on hematoxylin and eosin(H&E) stained sections. The apoptosis of tubular cells were examined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL). PCNA positive tubular cells were detected immunohistochemically as proliferation index. And confocal microscopy were used to identified the distribution of BrdU positive MSCs. Results After 12 h, 3 d of reperfusion, the Scr value of MSCs group were signifcantly lower than I/R group(P

Objective To report 2 cases of Fabry disease with early-onset ischemic stroke and investigate the clinical and image features. Methods The 2 patients developed dizziness, diplopia and progressive memory decline at 32 and 25 years of age respectively. The α-galactosidase A (GLA)activity was 4. 3 U in case 1 and 1. 0 U in case 2 ( normal range 100-500 U). Skin biopsy showed numerous membrane bounded osmiophilic laminar material in vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. GLA gene analysis revealed GLA exon 7 1033-1034 TC del in case 1 and GLA exon 3 466G ＞ A in case 2. The 2 patients were evaluated by Mainz severity score index (MSSI) and cranial MRI. Results The general MSSI was 32 in case 1 and 16 in case 2, with the highest score of neurological score ( 11 and 14). Both cases showed multifocal infarcts in bilateral cerebellum, occipital lobe, basal ganglia, which were hypointensity on T1 WI and hyperintensity on T2WI. There were hyperintensity changes in the pulvinar and basal ganglia on T1 WI in case 2. Conclusions Cerebral ischemic stroke could appear as initial symptoms in Fabry disease,which predominantly involved the posterior circulation. There might be no dilation of basal-vertebral artery.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence and subtype distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and its correlation with age among women in Beijing urban area, and provide some epidemiological evidence for the clinical application of HPV vaccines.

METHODSWe collected cervical specimens from 1999 women in the Outpatient Department of our hospital, performed genetyping of HPV-DNA, and analyzed the incidence of HPV infection in different age groups.

RESULTSHPV infection was detected in 502 (25.2%) of the 1999 women patients, with 391 (19.6%) cases of high-risk HPV, which included 326 (83.4%, 326/391) cases of single infection. HPV-16 was the most common type (21.2%, 69/326), followed by HPV-52 (19.3%, 63/326) and HPV-58 (16.0%, 52/326). The prevalence of HPV infection was the highest among the women aged 41 -50 years and the lowest among those over 60 years.

CONCLUSIONThe subtype- and age-specific distribution of HPV infection among women in Beijing urban area shows an obvious heterogeneity, which deserves due consideration in the clinical application of HPV vaccines.

To explore the measures of nursing management in the treatment of large number of infants with urinary calculi. The nursing management measures included launching the preparedness and response project for sudden public health events, formulating scientific and standardized nursing management system,optimizing work flow,strengthening nurse training,focusing on the details in nursing management,implementing disinfection and isolation system seriously,and paying close attention to health education for the parents of minority infants. Scientific nursing management can ensure the treatment effectiveness and nursing safety for the infants with urinary calculi.
