Objective To observe the lung inflammation and the expression of T - helper cell related cytokines in respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) infected Balb/c mice pre - sensitized with ovalbumin(OVA). Methods Mice were randomly divided into two series: nonsen-sitized and sensitized animal model with nebulized OVA once a day for 10 days. Each of the series was divided again into two groups: control group,RSV infected group with nasal draping plus nebulizing. All the mice were sacrificed 5 days later of infection. Viral isolation of lung organization was performed in each group. Pulmonary pathological detection and the levels of interleukin - 4(IL-4), interferon-? (IFN- ?) mRNA were evaluated by RT- PCR. Results The RSV were found only in RSV infected groups. The Balb/c mice developed typical interstitial pneumonia after RSV infection. When the mice pre- sensitized were infected with RSV, the pulmonary inflammation, lymphocyte and eosinophils infiltration and cell - collar peribronchiles were more severe in lung organization and bronchiole than those in the single RSV infection group. In the lung organization of control group, there were no mRNA expression of IL - 4 and IFN - ?. The mRNA of IFN -? was expressed in the lung organization of RSV infected groups while had not showed mRNA of IL- 4. In the OVA+ RSV group the mRNA expression of IL - 4 was obvious, while the expresses of IFN -? scarcely. Conclusions Pulmonary inflammation is more severe in the infection after OVA sensitization. RSV infection alone results in a Th1 - like cytokine response, while the infection after OVA sensitization results in Th2 - like response.

Several reconstruction techniques are available after gastrectomy. Roux-en-Y reconstruction following distal gastrectomy is the reference in terms of long-term functional and endoscopic outcomes. It is the preferred reconstruction for benign lesions and early gastric cancer. In patients with advanced gastric cancer, BillrothII (reconstruction is an acceptable alternative. After total gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y reconstruction is the simplest solution, with satisfactory functional outcome. Addition of a jejunal reservoir seems to improve long-term outcome after total gastrectomy and could be of benefit to patients with good prognosis. After distal or total gastrectomy, hand-sewn anastomoses should be preferred because of lower costs. Mechanical sutures can facilitate transhiatal esophagojejunostomy. After proximal gastrectomy, esophago-gastric anastomosis is the basic reconstruction method. Gastric remnant is made into gastric tube in the operation. The effect of pyloroplasty remains controversial, and further study is needed to improve the quality of life after operation.

Objective: To investigate the evolutionary relationship of the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of novel influenza virus A/H1N1 in 2009 pandemic with the HA genes of A/H1N1 viruses isolated in different parts of the world previously. Methods: The sequences of the HA gene of the novel A/H1N1 strain and the reference sequences of human, swine, and avian influenza A viruses were retrieved from NCBI. MEGA 4.0 software was employed to align, blunt nucleotide sequences, and construct phylogenetic tree. The deduced amino acid sequences of the HA genes of novel influenza virus A/H1N1 were compared with those of the A/H1N1 isolates in North America, Europe, and Asia. Results: Phylogenetic tree of the HA genes of A/H1N1 strains worldwide showed that the HA genes of novel influenza virus A/H1N1 in 2009 shared a high homology with those of the 7 human A/H1N1 influenza viruses isolated in North America during 1976 to 2007, and shared a low homology with those of the human influenza viruses A/H1N1 isolated in Europe and Asia. Phylogenetic tree of the HA gene between different species showed that the HA genes of novel influenza virus A/H1N1 in 2009 had a close evolutionary relationship with those of the two swine A/H1N1 strains isolated in 1998 and 2007 in North America, but a distant evolutionary relationship with those of swine and avian A/H1N1 isolated in Europe and Asia. Alignment of amino acid at important antigenic sites showed that the HA gene of the novel A/H1N1 strains shared important antigen sites with the swine A/H1N1 influenza viruses isolated in North America, and did not share with the swine A/H1N1 influenza viruses isolated in Europe and Asia or the human A/H1N1 influenza vaccine strains. Conclusion: The HA genes of the novel influenza virus A/H1N1 might originate from swine A/H1N1 influenza viruses in North America after a long time evolution and the reassortment with fragments of human A/H1N1 in the area, and the current A/human/H1N1 influenza vaccine may not be effective for the novel A/H1N1 virus.

Objective To construct an RNA interference vector to down-regulate X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis(XIAP)gene and study the RNA interference effect on the cell cycle and growth of ovarian cancer.Methods Oligonucleotides of 64 base pairs for hairpin RNA targeting XIAP were designed, chemically synthesized,annealed,and cloned into the pSUPER vector.After identification by restriction digestion,the correct vectors were transiently transfected into SKOV3 cells,a human ovarian cancer cell line.The XIAP mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.The proteins were detected by western blot and indirect immunofluorescence staining.Flow cytometry(FCM)analysis and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay method were applied to measure cell cycle,cell growth and sensitiveness to cisplatin.Results SKOV3 cells had a high level expression of XIAP.The vector of RNA interference,which can interfere with XIAP gene was successfully constructed.After transient transfection,the expression of XIAP protein was significantly decreased in SKOV3 cells and the value of relative density was 3584?124,2138?65,1973?80 and 110 ?12,respectively(P=0.0334).At the same time,the expression of XIAP mRNA was decreased accordingly and the value of relative density was 6674?274,4532?107,2322?57 and 1864?78, respectively(P=0.0127).The FCM results showed that,the vector could increase the number of cells in G_1 phase compared with parent cells and compared with the cells transfected with pSUPER(P

Objectives To determine the causes of cubital tunnel syndrome by performing operation,and to assess the clinical value of neurophysiologic diagnosis in cubital tunnel syndrome Methods Twenty one patients (22 limbs from 16 men and 5 women, aged from 22 to 63 years, with mean age of 49 years)suspected of ulnar nerve involved in clinical symptoms and the signs of ulnar distribution were recorded with motor conduction velocity at different sites along with the ulnar nerve and sensory conduction velocity in the hand,and underwent anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve Results Electromyographic abnormality was seen in 21/22 (range MCV 15.9～47.5 m/s,mean 32.7 m/s) of patients with motor conduction velocity in across elbow segment of the ulnar nerve. And slowing was seen in 13/22 (MCV 15.7～59.6 m/s, mean 40.4 m/s )patients with MCV in the forearms. The absent or abnormal evoked sensory nerve action potential was seen in 14/22 patients in the little finger. The factors of ulnar compressed in this study by operation were:15 ulnar nerves compressed by arcuate ligaments, or muscle tendons, or bone hyperplasia; two were involved in fibrous by adhesion;three compressed by venous plexus or concurrent thick vein;two compressed by cysts Conclusions The factors of cubital tunnel syndrome include either the common factors reported or the rare factors, such as the venous plexus, thick vein and cysts. The tests of motor conduction velocity at different sites along the ulnar nerve should be helpful in diagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome, especially the slowing velocity of MCV across the elbow segment.

Objective To study the association between sympathetic skin response (SSR) and diabetic neuropathy,and explore its use as the objective base for its early diagnosis. Methods The latencies and amplitudes of the initiation,waves N and P in SSR of the extremities in 80 diabetic patients and 30 healthy controls were determined using electrophysiological measurements. Results The latencies of the initiation,waves N and P of SSR test were prolonged significantly in the diabetic patients as compared to the controls ( P 0.05). All but two patients (97.5%) demonstrated abnormal SSR in at least one limb. Seven patients (8.8%) had no responses in SSR in both the feet and hands. The frequency of abnormality in the latency of initiation and waves N and P was 86.9%(139/160)in the upper limbs,and 89.4%(143/160)in the lower limbs. Conclusions The SSR can detect the early dysfunction of the small sympathetic fibers in diabetes millitus and may be a useful electrophysiologic testing for the early diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy.
