Objective To observe the effects of jet nebulization with sodium bicarbonate on the children with bronchial asthma.Methods 128 children with bronchial asthma were collected and randomly divided into observation group and control group. Conventional treatment by anti-infection and jet nebulization with hormone and bronchodilators were used in control group. Jet nebulization with sodium bicarbonate combination with conventional treatment was used in observation group. The therapeutic efficacy, clinical symptom, physical sign, the stay time, the occurrence of adverse reaction and the levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α in peripheral blood were observed. Results There were no severity adverse reactions happened in the two groups. The excellence rate was 59.4% and total effective rate was 95. 3% in observation group which were significantly higher that in control group( P < 0. 05 ). The extinction time of clinical symptom and physical sign were significantly shorter than that in control group. The levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α in peripheral blood decreased notably after therapy than before treatment in the two groups. The decreased changes in observation group were significant than that in control group ( P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion Jet nebulization with sodium bicarbonate could improve the clinical symptom and physical sign and shorten the course of disease of children with bronchial asthma. It also could decrease the secrete of inflammatory factor and get satisfactory curative effect.

Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2012;31(5):421-424
Objective To evaluate the significances of prostate specific antigen(PSA),alkaline phosphatase(ALP) as a marker of bone formation,tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b(TRACP5b) and pyridinoline cross-linked carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen(ICTP) as markers of bone resorption in diagnosis of bone metastasis of prostate cancer. Methods Totally 57 elderly patients aged 61-90 years with prostate cancer were divided into groups with bone metastasis(n=27)and without bone metastasis (n=30) according to radionuclide bone imaging,and into progressive(n=18) and limited metastasis groups(n=39) by EOD score.Serum concentrations of PSA,TRACP5b,ALP and ICTP were measured by electrochemiluminescence,colorimetric assay,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays(ELISA).Sensitivities and specificities were calculated for each marker and the diagnostic values of markers were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC).Resuits The serum levels of PSA,TRACP5b,ALP and ICTP were significantly higher in group with bone metastasis than in group without metastasis (P< 0.05).In the progressive bone metastasis group,Gleason score and the concentrations of PSA,ALP,TRACP5b,ICTP were increased as compared with limited metastasis group (P< 0.05). In diagnosis of prostate cancer with bone metastasis,the area under ROC curve(AUC) of PSA,TRACP5b,ALP,ICTP were 0.796,0.657,0.762,0.743,respectively.The diagnostic value PSA,ALP and ICTP were comparable,followed by TRACP5b.Using the cut point values of 10.235 μg/L for PSA,4.25 U/L for TRACP5b,116.0 U/L for ALP and 7.6 U/L for ICTP,the sensitivities were 66.7%,59.3%,37%,59.3% and the specificities were 90%,76.7%,96.7%,80%,respectively.PSA,ALP,ICTP and Gleason score were independent predictors of bone metastasis of prostate cancer,the total coincidence rate of regression model was 84.2%. Conclusions The diagnostic values of PSA,TRACP5b,ALP,ICTP are comparable,the combined and dynamic observation may facilitate early diagnosis of prostate cancer with bone metastasis.
3.Lead exposure influence on children's bone mineral density
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;40(6):610-612
Lead exposure is toxic to children.With the development of industry,lead exposure of children becomes more and more serious.Bone is the major target organ for lead loading.In terms of bone development,childhood is a critical period for the production of peak bone mass,and keeping it normal is important for the measurement of bone health and decreasing the morbidity of osteoporosis.Recent research revealed that children's bone mineral density is affected by elevated level of blood lead and this effect is mainly through the inhibition of the activity of osteoblast cell,the influence on calcium and phosphorus metabolism,and the retardation of children's bone growth.Therefore,the review focuses on the source,toxic effect,and the influence on bone mineral density and its mechanism of children lead exposure.

Objective To identify routine forensic samples by genotyping method for HLA - A locus. Method A two - step PCR - SSP method was established. The first step is amplification with a pair of primers specific for all HLA - A alleles, the second step is amplification with primers specific for HLA - A30, A31, A33 respectively, using the first step amplification product as template. Secondly amplified PCR products were genotyped by electro-phoresis. Results 100 blood stains with a serological typing result of HLA - A30, A31 and A33 were tested with this method. The discrepancy rate between serological and genetic typing was 29%. Seminal stains, salivary stains reserved for 2 years and blood stains reserved for 18 years in room temperature gave satisfactory results. Conclusions It is better to replace serological typing by genetic typing. A two - step PCR - SSP genotyping method can be applied to forensic samples.
