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 construct the small hairpinRNA recombinant plasmids targeting mdr-1 gene which expresses highly in ovarian cancer resistance strain SKOV3/TAXOL to silence endogenetic mdr-1 gene expression and investigate the role of mdr-1 gene in the development of resistant ovarian cancer. Methods The pPGPU6/GFP/Neo-mdr-1 were constructed by gene clone technology. The influence on proliferation and apoptosis were investigated by CCK-8 in SKOV3/TAXOL after transfected. pPGPU6/GFP/Neo-mdr-1. Results The expression against mdr-1 proteins were inhibited by pPGPU6/GFP/Neo-mdr-1. The cell proliferation were inhibited after transfected pPGPU6/GFP/Neo-mdr-1 by CCK-8. The apoptosis were observed in DAB experiments and the apoptosis rate incised. Conclusion mdr-1 plays an important role in proliferation of resistant ovarian cancer and the short hairpinRNA of mdr-1 can efficiently suppress mdr-1expression and enhance the apoptosis in SKOV3/TAXOL, which provides a novel method for chemotherapy resistant tumors.

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 efficacy of intralesional glucocorticoid injection with a needle-free injector versus an ordinary injector for the treatment of keloid. Methods A total of 60 patients with keloid were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups by using a random number table to receive intralesional injection of compound betamethasone with a needle-free injector(n=31)or an ordinary injector(n=29). The injection was given at a dose of 0.2 ml/cm3 once every 3 weeks for 3 sessions. Parameters for therapeutic efficacy were assessed, adverse reactions were recorded, and clinical pictures were taken before and after each treatment. Statistical analysis was carried out by the Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test with the SPSS 19.0 software. Results Compared with the ordinary injector group, the needle-free injector group showed significantly different injection time during the first and second treatment (U=299.000, 773.500, respectively, both P=0.000), as well as duration of pain after the first injection(U=730.000, P=0.003). After three sessions of treatment, there was a significant difference in the volume, height, hardness of keloid, scores for pain, itching and appearance, and number of injection points between the needle-free injector group and ordinary injector group (U=295.000, 336.500, 264.000, 464.000, 451.500, 308.000, 233.500, P=0.001, 0.007, 0.000, 0.041, 0.043, 0.003, 0.001, respectively). No significant differences were observed in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(all P>0.05). Moreover, the interval for lesion recurrence was significantly shorter in the needle-free injector group(11.8 days, 95%CI:10.96-12.6 days)than in the ordinary injector group(21.2 days, 95%CI:13.96-28.45 days). Conclusion Compared with the ordinary injector, the needle-free injector shows better efficiency for the treatment of keloid with decreased difficulty in injection and improved compliance in patients.
