Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2014;37(6):39-41
Objective To investigate the change of lung function in children with atypical asthma and different lung function index to evaluate the difference of bronchial dilation test positive rate.Methods Seventy-one cases of atypical asthma children routine monitoring lung function,underwent bronchial dilation test,the airway index changes were observed.Results Seventy-one cases of atypical asthma children with big airways function index of forced expiratory volume in first second FEV1,percentage of FEV1 to forced vital capacity (FVC) were basic normal,and the reaction of small airways function index of forced expiratory flow at 25% of FVC,forced expiratory flow at 50% of FVC,forced expiratory flow at 75% of FVC,forced expiratory flow at 25%-75% of FVC were decreased in different degrees,and mainly for medium and severe damage.FEV1 as evaluation index,the positive rate of bronchial dilation test diastolic was 47.9% (34/71),and forced expiratory flow rate at 25%-75% in FVC as evaluation index,the positive rate of bronchial dilation test was 69.0% (49/71),there was significant difference (x2 =8.086,P =0.004).Conclusions Lung function changes in atypical asthma children are mainly on small airways,and mainly for medium and severe damage,the bronchial dilation test positive rate in such children using the evaluation,forced expiratory flow rate at 25%-75% in FVC can assist FEV1,decrease the rate of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Objective To elucidate the effects of endothelin-1(ET-1) on expression of extra-regulated kinase 1(ERK 1), cell cycle and changes of Ca 2+ in activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Methods Effects of different concentra tions of ET-1 on ERK 1 expression were determined by Western blotting. Effects of ET- 1 on cell cycle were observed by flow cytometry(FCM) analysis. Effects of ET-1 on changes of calcium concentration and cell area were observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). Results ET-1 could inhibit the expression of ERK 1 i n a dose-dependent manner, compared with the control, the expression of ERK 1 in E T-1 highest concentration group decreased 10.91%?3.36% (P

Objective To study the influence factors affecting the blood sodium level of patients with respiratory system diseases for the first time. Methods A retrospective analysis of 557 cases in our hospital from January 1,2013 to April 31, 2013 were analyzed.According to the serum sodium levels, patients were divided into normal blood sodium group and hyponatremia group.The basic data, clinical indexes, prognosis were collected and the relationships between the epidemiology study of hyponatremia and the diseases of respiratory system were analysed.Results 557 cases of respiratory patients, 121 cases were complicated with hyponatremia, the incidence rate was about 21.72%; hyponatremia incidence of the top three diseases of respiratory system:57 cases of pneumonia ( 47.1%) , 26 cases of chronic bronchitis ( 21.5%) , 11 cases of lung cancer ( 9.1%); temperature, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, WBC, Hb, Alb, BUN, Cl, might had an impact on the level of serum sodium (P<0.05); hyponatremia group prognosis was significantly worse than normal blood sodium group (P<0.05).Conclusion Patients in the department of respiratory internal medicine are easy suffered with hyponatremia, the factors are more, prognosis is poor, requiring clinical attention.

AIM To study the effects of sera derived from rats administrated Lugu Ganoderma Lucidum (LGL) on the expression of adhesion molecules ICAM 1 and VCAM 1 induced by oxidative low density lipoprotein (ox LDL) and glycated albumin METHODS The expression of ICAM 1 and VCAM 1 on the surface of endothelial cells was detected by endothelial cell enzyme linked immunosobent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometric technique RESULTS The results by cell ELISA demonstrated that the sera derived from the rats administrated 0 12 g?kg -1 p o of LGL did not show significant effects on theexpression of ICAM 1 induced by ox LDL, but the sera from the rats administrated 0 24 g?kg -1 , 0 72 g?kg -1 po for ten days produced significant effects of inhibiting the expression of ICAM 1 induced by ox LDL and the expression of ICAM 1 and VCAM 1 induced by glycated albumin The results by flow cytometric techniques showed that the sera from the rats administrated 0 72 g?kg -1 for ten days produced the same effect on ICAM 1 induced by ox LDL and glycated albumin CONCLUSION Lugu Ganoderma Lucidum can inhibit the expression of adhesion molecules on the surface of endothelial cells induced by ox LDL and glycated albumin.

AIM To establish an efficient and convenient system for expressing functional proteins. METHODS Xenopus leavis females were injected with HCG, eggs were harvested next morning and dejellied by 2% cysteine, from which the Xenopus leavis egg cell free translating system was prepared. Through subcloning technique, TFAR19 gene was cloned to pBluescript SK plasmid which was linearized by enzyme, then transcript and capped in vitro to synthesis the cRNA of TFAR19. RESULTS This cRNA was translated in freshly prepared cell free translating system, the product was identified by Western Blot. CONCLUSION The results showed that this translating system could efficiently translate TFAR19 cRNA and be a very useful translating tool.

ObjectiveTo explore the best measurement of waist circumference related with intra-abdominal fat volume evaluated by CT scan.MethodsHeight,weight,and hip circumference were measured among 147 subjects aged over 18 years old.Waist circumference was measured at 3 different levels:the upper brim of the iliac crest ( WC1 ),the midpoint between costal brim and iliac crest ( WC2 ),and the umbilicus ( WC3 ).The intra-abdominal fat volume was evaluated by CT scan.ResultsIntra-abdominal fat volume was significantly higher in men than in women [ ( 1 236.0±608.4 vs 931.0±665.0)cm3,P<0.01 ].Correlation analysis showed that WC1 ( r =0.634),WC2( r=0.677),and WC3 (r =0.712)were positively correlated with intra-abdominal fat volume ( all P<0.01 ).Partial correlation analysis adjusted by gender,weight,or body mass index showed that the correlation of intra-abdominal fat volume with WC3 ( r were 0.488 and 0.432) was better than that with WC1( r were 0.347 and 0.293 ) and WC2 ( r were 0.424 and 0.365 ).Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that WC2 and WC3 were independently associated with intra-abdominal fat volume and WC3 was the strongest impact factor (β =0.270,R2c =0.504,P<0.01 ).ConclusionsWaist circumference is a simple anthropometric measurement parameter reflecting the degree of intraabdominal fat accumulation.All three different measurements of waist circumference may reflect intra-abdominal fat volume,while waist circumference at umbilical level is the best among them.

Objective To compare the effects of adjustable pressure drainage device, negative pressure ball drainage and drainage bag drainage on patients with the total hip arthroplasty. Methods The silicone drainage ball with negative pressure, the urine collection bag, the infusion set′s regulator were used to make adjustable pressure drainage device. 120 cases of total hip arthroplasties from January to December in 2015 were chosed and divided randomly into 3 groups based on the sequence of operation notifications. In 40 cases, drainage bag were used (control group 1), 40 cases with negative pressure ball drainage (control group 2) and 40 cases with adjustable pressure drainage device (experimental group). Total postoperative bleeding, the blood transfusion amount, swelling (the thickness of hematoma) and the nursing workload of the three groups were compared. Results The total postoperative bleeding, the blood transfusion amount, the thickness of hematoma and the nursing workload in the experimental group were (775.1±130.5) ml, (3.5±1.3) mm, (180.2±29.9) ml, (34.5±5.2) min. The total postoperative bleeding, the blood transfusion amount, the thickness of hematoma and the nursing workload in the control group 1 were (889.4 ± 160.8) ml, (5.2 ± 1.1) mm, (285.9 ± 30.4) ml, (40.6 ± 7.4) min and in the control group 2 were (876.2±156.7) ml, (4.3±1.2) mm,(208.3±33.3) ml, (50.3±8.5) min. Compared the data of the experimental group and the control group 1, the difference was of statistically significance (t=3.49-15.68, P < 0.01). Compared the data of the experimental group and the control group 2, the difference was of statistically significance (t=2.86-10.03, P<0.01). Conclusions The effects of adjustable pressure drainage device are better than the drainage bag and negative pressure drainage ball. It can effectively reduce the postoperative bleeding and the swelling degree, and bring a lot of relief to the patients and lots of convenience to the nursing work. The method is affordable, reliable and safe which should be promoted in the primary hospital.
