Objective To explore the role of the sensory neuropeptide in the chronic cough induced by postnasal drip syndrome(PNDs).Methods Patients of PNDs with and without chronic cough who came to the First Affiliated Hospital of Ji Nan University between Mar.2004 and Sep.2005 were enrolled and induced sputum by hypertonic saline aerosol inhalation was performed.Twenty-three cases of PNDs with chronic cough and 16 cases of PNDs without chronic cough were collected.Substance P(SP)and calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)in the supernatant of the induced sputum were measured by radioimmunoassay.Results SP and CGRP in the supernatant of the induced sputum were significantly higher in the patients with chronic cough induced by PNDs[SP(345.14?72.58)mg/L,CGRP(573.78?210.96)mg/L]as compared with those normal subjects[SP(168.14?56.97)mg/L,CGRP(227.69?70.84)mg/L,P

Objective To document the feasibility and safety of percutaneous lung cancercryotherapy(PLC)guided by Computer Tomography(CT).Methods 798 CT-guided PLCs in 634 cases with lung cancer from August,2001,to April,2006.CT-visualized immediate ice formation beyond tumor margins was compared to tumor size and location.PLC feasibility and safety was evaluated for the complications postcryoablation.Results All the patients underwent PLC using local anesthesia with minimal or no sedation.Iceball formation was well seen as negative Hounsfield units within soft tissue masses.Tumor size and location were independent determinants of ice coverage:96.4%(n= 343)for masses 4 cm in diameter(P

Obiective To study the regularity of three-dimensional displacement in respiration of lung cancer. Methods Af-ter CT scanning, the CT images were transferred into target planning system (TPS) to obtain three-dimensional reconstruc-tion images. Then target drawing and noting of target position, tumor volume, lung function, patient gender, age and weight were performed. The images during the course of inspiration and expiration in simulator were scanned and transferred into TPS by DICOM RT port. At last, the three-dimensional displacement curve of the interested points(X,Y and Z axis) could be obtained. Results The three-dimensional real time displacement curve of lung cancer interested points could be estab-fished by the way of collecting simulator images and drawing interested points. The maximum displacement range of the interested points were 4.2mm in Z-axis(head-foot direction), 3.8ram in X-axis(left-right direction), 2.9ram in Y-axis(ante-rior-posterior direction). Conclusion The three--dimensional real time displacement curve of lung cancer at any point of the target can be established by collecting the dynamic images in simulator and reconstructing of the corresponding images in target planning system through the DICOM RT.

Echinoderms are deuterostome, and occupy the top taxonomic position of invertebrates, where is the evolutionary linkage between invertebrates and vertebrates.This is a critical phylogenetic vantage point to infer both the early evolution of bilaterian immunity and the underpinnings of the vertebrate adaptive immune system.The available published literatures on echinoderm immunological mechanisms are compiled and discussed here to understand its evolution process and the hot spots or directions in future investigations.Echinoderms have an innate immune system like vertebrates but their adaptive attributes have not been observed.Its immune responses are based on coelomocytes activity working in parallel with a variety of humoral factors that react directly with invading pathogens.Comparative studies of immune functions in echinoderms have demonstrated that there is a complement system in echinoderms that appears to have alternative pathway and lectin pathway but lack classical pathway and terminal pathway.The sea urchin innate immune system has a number of large gene families.Further investigations are needed to understand the unknown immune-associated genes, proteins, immune signaling pathways and effector molecules, and to know the origin, the underlying mechanisms and evolution of innate immune system.

Objective To analyze dynamic features of TCM syndrome elements according to the neuropsychological characteristics of cognitive function impairment after ischemic stroke.Methods The hospitalized cerebral infarction patients without dementia were evaluated dynamically with the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) (Beijing Version) after IQCODE screens at different phase points.And they were divided into groups according to the severity of cognitive function impairment.The occurring frequency of TCM syndrome elements at all phase points for diagnosis was compared.Results The phase points and TCM syndrome elements closely related with the cognitive function impairment after ischemic stroke were as following:the 3rd day with fire and yin deficiency,the 7th day with yin deficiency,the 1st month with fire,phlegm,and blood stasis,and the 3rd month with fire,phlegm,blood stasis,qi deficiency,and yin deficiency.Conclusion The neuropsychological characteristics of cognitive function impairment of ischemic stroke are closely related with TCM syndrome elements and their evolvement as well as their different combinations.

Objective To prepare porcine acellular dermal matrix(PADM) without cytotoxicity,to evaluate its biological safety,and investigate its end result in vivo.Methods A piece of porcine split-thickness skin of 0.3-0.4mm was obtained,the epidermis was removed by hypertonic saline immersion,and then the skin was immersed in sodium hydroxide solution,and dermal cells were removed by shaking water bath at normal temperature to harvest PADM.After cross-linking and sterilization,bacteria and porcine virus were examined in the PADM.The PADM were embedded beneath the Sprague-Dawley(SD) rat's skin,and then the general and histological changes were observed after transplantation.Result The obtained PADM was soft and elastic,easy to be moulded,and convenient for operation.No cellular component was found in PADM,the collagen was regularly arranged and elastic fibers were abundant.Bacteria and virus examination of all specimens was negative.No immunologic rejection of PADM was found after being embedded beneath the skin of SD rat.The PADM adhered to the wound firmly,and it was difficult to detach 3 weeks after implantation,and the general structures of PADM beneath rat skin were discernible 24 weeks after implantation.The PADM was infiltrated by inflammatory cells in the early stage,fibroblasts and capillary vessels increased in number along with the time,and collagen fibers gradually gained a regular and compact arrangement in PADM.Conclusions The PADM prepared by hypertonic saline/sodium hydroxide method is a simple preparation process,and there is no cytotoxicity.It has a high biological safety and can be used as dermal scaffold with long-term existence in vivo.

A total of 16 patients with airway stenosis including benign lesion (n=4) and malignant disease (n=12) were treated with argon plasma coagulation (APC) and Z-type covered retrievable metallic stent.L-and I-type stents were placed by guidance of brenchoscope,while Y-type stent was placed by the guidance of both bronchoscope and fluoroscope.Airway stenosis was from (58.8 +9.1)% before APC to (7.5±2.4)% after APC in tracheal,from (67.4±7.4)% to (19.4±4.1)% in left main bronchus,from (69.6±8.9)% to (27.6±5.4)% in right main bronchus.Symptoms of chest distress and breathlessness were improved remarkably,tachypnea indexes were decreased,but Kamofsky performance scope were increased.Twelve stents were successfully installed by the first time,including 9 Y-shape;otherwise,4 stents failed to be installed because the carinal was too wide to insert the Y-shape stent in two patients with lung cancer,finally,L+I type stents were used.Median survival time after successful stenting was 10 months,and mean time was 13 months.APC combined with bifurcated metal stants relieved obstruction and improved quality of life.

Objective To determine the distribution and antibiotic resistance of hospital - associated pneu-monia(HAP) in senile patient,and the high risk factors of HAP,pathogenic bacterium and prognosis,so as to instruct the clinic prevention and treatment. Methods Patients with age over 60 years old,who were diagnosed of HAP with confirmed pathogens. Pathogens were identified, then the antibiotic resistance was determined by Kirty-Baucer disk dif-fusion assay. High risk factors of HAP, pathogenic bacterium and prognosis were analyzed by Logistic regression analy-sis. Results The first 10th pathogens of HAP patients were pseudomonas aeruginosa( 16.1% ),staphylococcus au-reus( 14.6% ) ,klebsiella pneumonia( 10.2% ), escherichia coil (8.8%) ,staphylococcus hemolyticus (7.3%). MR-SA accounted for 90% in staphylococcus aureus. The drug resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa to imipenem was 29.5%. The high risk factors of HAP were acute brain accident, hypoalbuminemia, tracheal intubation or mechanical ventilation, rennal failure,COPD, gastric tube, anaemia,liver disfunction,long length of stay ( all P < 0.05 ). The mor-tality of senile HAP was 29.2%. Conclusion There are high antibiotic resistance and high mortality of HAP in se-nile patients. Measures should be taken to modify the risk factors.
