Objective To investigate the contents of IL-1β and IL-1ra in cerebrospinal fluid of children with Japanese encephalitis, and their clinical significance. Methods Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to detect IL-lβ and IL-lra contents in 50 children with Japanese encephalitis and 20 children without nervous system disease (controls). Results IL-1β contents in climax stage, convalescent stage and the controls were (49. 43±14. 59) , (24. 73±14. 50) and (8. 98± 1.26)μg/L (F = 79.88, P<0.01); IL-lra contents in climax stage, convalescent stage and the controls were (177. 39±60. 19), (78. 24±44. 63) and (21. 09±3. 10) μg/L (F = 91. 53, P <0. 01). There were significant differences on IL-lβ and IL-lra contents among children with mild, moderate and severe encephalitis (climax: F = 82.36 and 66.50, P<0.01; convalescence; F = 55. 17 and 79.50, P<0.01). IL-1β content was positively correlated with IL-lra in both climax and convalescent stages (climax; r = 0. 815, P < 0.01; convalescent; r= 0.728, P < 0.01). Conclusions IL-lβ and IL-lra contents in cerebrospinal fluid are significantly increased in children with Japanese encephalitis in climax stage, which are closely correlated with the disease severity. The two indicators may participate in the pathological process of brain damages with Japaness encephalitis.

Objective To investigate the clinical feature, treatment and prognosis of severe hand-footmouth disease without typical skin lesions. Methods Clinical data from 24 patients with severe hand-footmouth disease without typical skin lesions collected from January 2010 to May 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 17 males and 7 females among the 24 patients. Of them, 3 patients with positive EV71 showed no skin lesions at the first visit, 2 presented with only herpes of mouth, 3 with only skin rashes in gluteal regions, 5 with only skin rashes on the palms, 2 with only skin rashes of the knees, 9 with skin rashes in hands, feet and gluteal regions simultaneously. The skin rashes were sparse with an atypical distribution.Fever occurred in all the 24 patients and lasted 6 - 7 days. Nervous system was involved in all the patients,and pulmonary hemorrhage occurred in 4 patients. RT-PCR and real-time PCR showed that the pharyngeal swab was positive for EV71 in 13 patients, for CoxA16 in 2, for other enterovirus in 3, and feces samples were positive for EV71 in 9 patients, for CoxA16 in 1, for other enterovirus in 2. Five patients were positive for EV71 in both pharyngeal swab and feces samples. Four patients died of multiple organ failure, the other 20 patients were cured and discharged from hospital. Conclusions The major pathogen causing severe hand-footmouth disease is EV71 in the 24 patients; children under 2 years are liable to this disease; high fever is common with various rashes. Early recognition of atypical skin lesions and timely management are most important for the control of severe hand-foot-mouth disease and improvement in overall survival of patients with this entity.

Objective:To explore the quality of life and its influencing factors in patients with hyperthyroidism.Methods:From June 2017 to June 2019, patients with hyperthyroidism who were first diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College were selected as the research objects, and the quality of life of the patients was assessed by the Chinese version of World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Scale (WHOQOL-BREF). Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were used to evaluate the psychological status of the patients. Univariate analysis was used to compare the differences of general information (age, gender, course of disease, marital status, education level, occupation, monthly family income, family relationship, thyroid ophthalmopathy, laboratory examination, thyroid crisis, anxiety level, and depression level) among patients with different quality of life. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors affecting the quality of life of patients with hyperthyroidism.Results:There were 120 patients, aged (45.42 ± 6.38) years old, including 42 males and 78 females. The WHOQOL-BREF score was (76.58 ± 10.42) points, ranging from 25 to 106 points. Among them, 49 cases (40.83%) had high scores (≥80 points) and 71 cases (59.17%) had low scores (<80 points). Univariate analysis showed that there were differences in the quality of life among different marital status, education level, monthly family income, family relationship, thyroid ophthalmopathy, FT 3, FT 4, anxiety level and depression level ( P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that thyroid ophthalmopathy, divorce or widowhood, monthly family income < 2 000 yuan, family disharmony, depression or anxiety, abnormal FT 4 and FT 3 were the risk factors affecting the quality of life of patients with hyperthyroidism ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:The overall quality of life of patients with hyperthyroidism is low, especially those with thyroid ophthalmopathy, divorce or widowhood, monthly family income < 2 000 yuan, family disharmony, depression, anxiety, FT 4 or FT 3 abnormalities.

Objective To investigate Smac/DIABLO and cytochrome c(cyt-c)mRNA levels in liver tissue of rats with acute hepatic failure treated by microencapsulated hepatocyte.Methods Acute hepatic failure were induced by intraperitoneal injection of D-galactosamine in rats.and the rats were treated with microencapsulated hepatocytes,free hepatocytes and physical saline(contr01),respectively.Smac/DIABLO and cyt-c mRNA in liver tissue was detected by RT-PCR and the mRNA expression levels among three groups were compared.Results Smac/DIABLO and cyt-c mRNA levels in liver tissues of rats with acute hepatic failure were higher than those of normal rata(F=4.345,14.821,47.565,42.178 and 62.961,P<0.05).The peak values of Smac/DIABLO and cyt-C mRNA expressions in free hepatocytes and control groups were at 48 h.while that in microencapsulated hepatoeytes group was at 24 h.Conclusion Smac/DIABLO and cyt-c mRNA expression is an indicator of apoptosis of hepatocytes.

Objective To investigate the clinical and laboratory features of severe cases of hand,foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province. Methods Clinical data of 107 children with HFMD, including 97 severe and 10 critical cases treated in Children' s Hospital Affiliated to Wenzhou Medical College during January and May 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. One hundred and fifty children with mild HFMD were also selected as the controls. Clinical features and laboratory results were compared between the two groups. Results Fever, rash and infection in central nervous system were observed in all patients with severe HFMD, and symptoms on respiratory, digestive and cardiovascular systems were more serious than those of mild HFMD cases. White blood cell counts (WBC) were higher in severe group than those in controls (t = 12.72, P ＜0.01). Hyperglycemia (9. 2 mmol/L) and abnormal troponin (0. 3 -9. 0 ng/mL) were presented in all the critical patients. Cerebrospinal fluid WBC counts were raised in 97 severe HFMD patients (98.5 × 106/L for average) with predominance of lymphocytes. Among 107 severe patients, EV71 was positive in 70, including all 10 critical cases. Conclusion Involvement of nervous,respiratory and digestive symptoms is common in severe cases of HFMD, and EV71 is the predominant pathogen.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in the treatment of severe EV71 infection in children.Methods The clinical data of children with severe EV71 infection,who admitted in our hospital from January 2010 to November 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the time of admission and treatment principles,the patients were divided into the 2010 group and the 2012 group.The patients of the 2010 group routinely received IVIG treatment,but patients in the 2012 group received IVIG treatment in serious condition.The obvious effective rate,effective rate,ineffective rate,the incidence rate of critically ill and mortality of the two groups were compared.Results There were no significant differences in the obvious effective rate (86.0％ and 85.2％),effective rate (9.6％ and 11.8％),ineffective rate (4.4％ and 3.0％),the incidence rate of critically ill (4.0％ and 2.2％) between the two groups (x2 =0.011,1.269,1.657,3.304,all P ＞ 0.05).The mortality of the 2010 group (2.8％) was higher than that of the 2012 group (0.6％)(x2 =8.213,P ＜0.05).Conclusion IVIG has no effect on patients with severe EV71 infection,and is not recommended.

Objective To formulate an evidence-based nursing scheme of a pin site nursing method to reduce the incidence of pin site infection among patients with bone pin surgery. Methods Under the principle of PICO, the issue was put forward aiming directly at patient′s clinical manifestations. By some database retrieval and evaluate the retrieval of literature evidence, the optimal evidence will be applied to the patients and the curative effect were observed.

Conclusions The patients with pin sites using based iodine disinfection and sterile gauze strip winding better than the conventional alcohol drop pin site in reducing infection.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of inhibiting ubiquitin-specific protease 14 (USPl4) activity on oxidative stress induced by H2O2 of H9c2 cells.METHODS: The H9c2 cells were incubated with H2O2 at 25 μmol/L for 2 h to establish the oxidative stress injury model.The cells were divided into control group, H2O2 group, IU1 group (25 μmol/L or 50 μmol/L) and IU1+ H2O2 group.The H9c2 cells activity was measured by MTS assay.The level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell survival rate were analyzed by flow cytometry assay.The changes of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family related proteins were detected by Western blot.RESULTS: Compared with control group, the cell activity and the viability rate in H2O2 group were decreased (P<0.05), while the intracellular ROS, the protein levels of Bax/Bcl-2, P53, p-ERK1/2, p-JNK and p-P38 were increased (P<0.05).Compared with H2O2 group, the cell activity and the viability rate of the H9c2 cells in IU1+H2O2 group were increased (P<0.05), while the intracellular ROS, the protein levels of Bax/Bcl-2, P53, p-ERK1/2, p-JNK and p-P38 were decreased (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Inhibition of USPl4 activity reduces the oxidative stress injury of the H9c2 cells.The mechanism may be related to inhibition of the MAPK signaling and down-regulation of apoptosis related proteins.

Objective To investigate the influence of anti-angiogenesis therapy on proliferation and apoptosis of fibroblasts derived from keloids. Methods Thirty pieces of keloids from a patient were implanted into subcutaneous tissue of the nude mice, 24 pieces of which survived were divided into three groups which were treated with perilesional injection of vascular endothelial growth factor( VEGF) (0.4 mg/0.2 mL) , Endostar(0.125 g/0.2 mL) and physiological saline (0.2 mL)on the 21 d, 23 d, 25 d, 27 d after implantation. Sample were collected on the 10th day after perilesional injection, the proliferating fibroblasts in keloid tissue were immunohistochemically detected by proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression. The apoptotic cell was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP-nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. Results IHC staining indicated that PCNA expression of fibroblasts was significantly increased in keloid tissue after VEGF injection, PCNA expression of fibroblasts was significantly reduced in keloid tissue after Endostar injection,TUNEL assay revealed lower apoptotic cells expression in the keloid tissue after VEGF injection and higher in the Endostar group than control group. The rate of proliferative index (PI) , apoptotic index(AI) and AI/PI of fibroblasts in keloid after VEGF (PI:41.13 ±2.29,AI:5.75 ±1.28,AI/PI: 0.14 ± 0.04)or Endostar injection (PI:27.25 ±2.61,AI:11.00±1.31,AI/PI:0.41 ±0.09)and control group (PI: 34.75 ±3.62,AI:7. 88 ± 1.64,AI/PI:0. 23 ±0.07) showed statistical differences. Conclusion Anti-angiogenesis therapy is shown to induce keloid regression through suppression of keloid fibroblast proliferation,induction of apoptosis, which may be a new approach for the treatment of keloids.
