Abstract Human adenovirus (HAdV), which is characterized by infectivity, complex pathogenesis and multiple target organs, causes multiple organ infections in the respiratory system, gastrointestinal system and eyes, which seriously endangers human health. Various subspecies of HAdV has different tissue tropism, which presents diverse clinical symptoms and epidemiological characteristics. Based on the molecule biological characteristics of HAdV, this review summarizes the clinical symptoms and epidemiological characteristics of HAdV infections depending on tissue tropism, and describes the trends in HAdV epidemiology, so as to provide insights into prevention and control of HAdV infections.

Objective To probe whether the preinduced adult animal hepatocytes (AHH) by phenobarbital sodium (PBS) in vivo could boost the metabolic activity of bilirubin in vitro for seeking the optimal biomaterial for the extracorporeal bioartificial liver support system (EBLSS). Methods Twelve adult male rats with 34g mean weight were randomly divided into preinduce group and control group, the rats of the preinduce group were intraperitoneal injected daily with 45mg/kg PBS for 5 days, while the control group with normal sodium. 0.5g wet weight liver was taken from every rat after 24 hours of last administer, the suspensions were made by mixing six wet weight livers in two groups and put in the cultivate board of 96 apertures, 30ul per aperture, then 50?l jaundice serum and 20?l culture fluid were added into every aperture, which were statically cultured in the incubaton of humidity 95% at 37℃, 5% CO2 for 3 hours, and then revolved, the metabolic activity of bilirubins were determined by Beckmann auto-analyzer. Results The total bilirubins and indirect bilirubins fell 60%, 71.42% respectively in the preinduced group, and 34.78%, 54.87% in the control group (P0.05, t=1.571). There were no obvious changes in direct bilirubins in two groups. Conclusions The preinduced AHH by PBS in vivo can boost the metabolic activity of bilirubin in vitro, it may be the optimal biomaterial for EBLSS.

Objective To evaluate surgical management of pancreatic duct stones.Methods From 1997 to 2007, 24 cases of pancreatic duct stones underwent surgical treatment, the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Results In this study, 17 cases underwent lithotomy by longitudinal pancreatic duct incision, Roux-en-Y anastomosis(side-to-side) of pancreatic duct to jejunum, extra drainageof the main pancreatic duct was done in two cases, hepaticojejunostomy in three cases, pancreaticcystojejunostomy in one case. One case suffered from postoperative bleeding at pancreatic ojejunostomy, one from stress ulcer, and both were cured by conservative treatment. Three cases underwent pancreaticeduodenectomy, anastomosis bleeding occurred in one patient, and was cured by conservative method. One case underwent duodenum-preserving resection of the head of the pancreas, 2 cases underwent distal pancreatectomy, one case underwent lithotomy by pancreatic duct incision and primary closure, no postoperative complications occurred among those patients. 21 cases were followed up, results were excellentin 17 patients. Conclusions Lithotomy by longitudinal pancreatic duct incision, Roux-en-Y anastomosisof pancreatic duct to jejunum is the main and effective surgical procedure, while duodenum preserving pancreatic head resection and lithotomy by pancreatic duct incision and primary closure are also rational for the treatment of pancreatic duct stones.

Objective To discuss the significance of different types of human rhinovirus (HRV) as pathogen and the clinical features of different types of HRV in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU).Methods Eight hundred and fifty-two nasopharyngeal aspirates specimen (NPA) were collected from children who were admitted to PICU,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from November 2010 to October 2015 and were tested by using nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Gene fragments for VP4/VP2 capsid protein amplified from HRV positive specimens were sequenced for HRV genotype confirmation.Then clinical characteristics of these HRV positive cases were analyzed.Results Among these 852 specimens tested,214 (25.12％) were HRV positive,including 95 samples(44.39％) positive for HRV-A,17 samples (7.94％) for HRV-B,and 55 samples(25.70％)for HRV-C determined by sequence analysis;while the species of 47 samples (21.96％) of the total were unclassified clearly.HRV-A,HRV-B,HRV-C co-infection with other respiratory viruses accounted for 33.68％ (32/95 cases),29.41％ (5/17 cases),and 29.09％ (16/55 cases),respectively.The clinical characteristics of children infected with HRV-A,HRV-B,HRV-C were similar,and wheezing and polypnea were more common with HRV-C infections than HRV-A and HRV-B infections.The severity among children positive for different groups HRV showed no significant difference (H =0.631,P ＞ 0.05),as well as that between children co-infected with HRV and other viruses and those infected with HRV only (H =0.886,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Different types of HRV were major causes of infectious disease in pediatric critical disease.The clinical characteristics of children infected with HRV-A,HRV-B,HRV-C were similar.Wheezing and polypnea were more common with HRV-C infections than HRV-A and HRV-B infections.

Objective Since there are significant variation of the dietary structure recent years in China,it is necessary to re-investigate the fatty acid composition of human breast milk for the presentation of the latest data of fatty acid composition in China. Methods Using a gas chromatography GC-2010,the composition of fatty acids was detected in the human colostrums and the mature breast milk(consecutively from postnatal day 1 to day 7 and from postnatal day 42)obtained from 62 healthy postpartum women in Shanghai and Chongqing,two big cities of China,from Jan to July,2008. Results The level of total fatty acid(TFA)tended to increase significantly from the colostrums to the mature breast milk. No significant difference in the level of TFA was found between two cities. The significantly higher monounsaturates(MUFA)level(44.06% vs. 33.85%,P ＜ 0.01)and lower linoleic acid(LA,C18 : 2n-6)level(18.43% vs. 27.62%,P ＜ 0.01)of the mature breast milk were observed in Chongqing women compared with those in Shanghai women. The docosahexenoic acid(DHA)level of the mature breast milk in Shanghai women was significantly higher than that in Chongqing women(0.41% vs. 0.29%,P ＜ 0.01). There was no significant difference in the level of arachidonic acid(AA,C20 : 4n-6)between two cities. Conclusions The fatty acid composition in human breast milk tends to vary with the extension of the lactation. There is significant difference in the fatty acid compositions in human breast milk between Shanghai and Chongqing owing to different dietary habits in the different regions of China.

Objective To compare the setup errors of the negative pressure vacuum air cushion (vacuum bag) and the Orfit body foam fixator (Orfit frame) in radiotherapy for cervical cancer.Methods A total of 40 patients receiving three-dimensional radiotherapy for cervical cancer were enrolled in this study and equally and randomly divided into vacuum bag group and Orfit frame group.And the two groups were divided into Orfit-1 group, Orfit-2 group, vacuum-1 group, and vacuum-2 group according to the treatment course.The Orfit-1 group and vacuum-1 group were the data in the first 12 treatments, while the Orfit-2 group and vacuum-2 group were the data in the following 13 treatments.A cone-beam computed tomography scan was performed before each treatment to analyze setup error and then the body position was corrected to start the treatment.Comparison of continuous data between groups was made by paired t-test, while comparison of categorical data was made by chi-square test.Results There was a significant difference in the setup error in y-axis direction between the Orfit-1 group and the Orfit-2 group (P=0.003) and the setup error in r-axis direction between the vacuum-1 group and the vacuum-2 group (P=0.013).There were no significant differences in the setup errors in four directions (x-axis, y-axis, z-axis, and r-axis) between the Orfit-1 group and the vacuum-1 group (P>0.05).There were significant differences in the setup errors in y-axis and z-axis directions between the Orfit-2 group and the vacuum-2 group (P=0.007;P=0.001).Conclusions The Orfit frame and the vacuum bag have their own advantages and disadvantages in the fixation of body position in radiotherapy for cervical cancer.The setup error can be improved by long vacuum bags, ultrasound bladder capacity scanner, image-guided radiotherapy, or sectional radiotherapy plan.

Objective: To explore the application and affecting factors of clopidogrel loading therapy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in china in 2006 and 2011. Methods: Based on “China patient-centered evaluative assessment of cardiac events retrospective study of acute myocardial infarction”, we collected clinical information of STEMI patients with PCI in 2006, 2011 and analyzed clopidogrel loading therapy status in different years and different hospitals. According to clopidogrel doses, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Clopidogrel 300mg group, the patients received a single dose of clopidogrel ≥300mg while <450mg and Clopidogrel 600mg group, the patients received a single dose of clopidogrel ≥450mg while ≤600mg. The relevant factors affecting clopidogrel loading therapy status were identiifed by binary Logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 2481 eligible patients were enrolled and their mean age was (60.9 ± 12.0) years including 21.4%female. From 2006 to 2011, the overall application of clopidogrel loading was (51.0% vs 47.4%), the ratio for patients in Clopidogrel 300mg group was (43.1% vs 39.2%), in Clopidogrel 600mg group was (7.8% vs 8.2%), allP>0.05. In 2006, the hospital median rate of clopidogerl application was 44.4% (IQR 21.8% to 69.0%) and in 2011, it was 48.1% (IQR 25.0% to 70.8%),P=0.940. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the patients were admitted within 12 hours of onset, with primary PCI and treated in central region had the higher rates of clopidogrel loading therapy. Conclusion: Clopidogrel loading therapy was seriously inadequate in STEMI patients with PCI, variation was across hospitals and the status was similar between 2006 and 2011. Clopidogrel loading therapy should be improved.
