1.Biomarkers: the diagnostics and prognostics function in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2017;32(9):648-651
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized with arthritis in one or more joints,fever,rash and serositis.Due to the atypical symptoms and poor prognosis,it's a great challenge in the clinical diagnosis and treatment efficacy evaluation in sJIA.These challenges could be addressed by the identification of clinical biomarkers,aiming at evaluating the disease severity,predicting the activity and prognosis of sJIA.This review will be focus on genetics,serum and cellular markers in sJIA and summarize the relative application on diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To observe clinical effects of Sanqi wound tablets combing with Western medicine to conservative treatment of acute thalamic hemorrhage.Methods72 patients with acute thalamic hemorrhage from Department of Neurosurgery from December 2014-June 2016 were grouped two groups by random number table method.The control group was treated with Western medicine, and observation group was treated with Sanqi wound tablets combing with Western medicine.Relevant indicators were analyzed between two groups.ResultsEffective rate of observation group was 88.89%, higher than control group with 69.44%(P<0.05).NSE and hs-CRP level of observation group were (7.02±1.86)μg/L,(11.75±2.64)mg/L, lower than control group(13.98±2.01)g/L,(19.82±3.07)mg/L(all P<0.05).Fugl-Meyer and NIHSS of observation group were (93.07±4.25),(12.01±2.30)points, better than control group(81.16±4.10),(18.42±2.45)points(all P<0.05).Thalamic residual bleeding of observation group was (2.82±0.41)mL, lower than control group (3.97±0.57)mL(P<0.05).ConclusionOn the basis of Western medicine, Sanqi wound tablets can improve the therapeutic effect, reduce inflammation, improve the patient's motor function and nerve defect degree and accelerate the absorption of hematoma.

Research on osteoporosis diagnosis has always been a critical isuue in the field of international academia and medicine. Recent progress in quantitative ultrasound (QUS) has suggested that ultrasound, due to its obvious advantages, be considered as an effective and noninvasive tool for assessment of bone status and diagnosis of osteoporosis. This paper presents the principle and recent development in the ultrasonic assessment of bone status and osteoporosis including assessment with through-transmission and backscattering measurement, and also introduces the latest progress in ultrasonic axial transmission technique.Limitations of current research are discussed and suggestions are proposed for future research.

Programmed cell death 5(PDCD5)is a new kind of programmed cell death regulation and control gene. PDCD5′s expression is widespread,and evolution is conservative. PDCD5 has the effect of promo-ting a wide variety of tumor cells to apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation,such as lung cancer,liver cancer et al. Several laboratories′ discoveries show that PDCD5′s expression is significantly decreased when in some dis-ease cases,especially in tumor cases. PDCD5,which is related to the clinical relevance of the tumor,has a great clinical value of discovering,diagnosis and treatment of the tumor.

Objective To discuss the clinical efficacy of internal fixation assisted by thoracoscope in treatment of rib fractures.Methods The study enrolled 180 patients with rib fractures associated with thoracic deformity hospitalized from July 2010 to June 2013.Ninety out of the patients were operated on by thoracoscope-assisted internal fixation (operation group),and the remaining 90 fractures were treated non-operatively (non-operation group).Clinical markers recorded were duration of pain,time of ventilator use,hospital length of stay and complications.Patient mental health was measured with self esteem scale (SES).Patient mobility was evaluated at follow-up.Results Between operation and non-operation groups differences were observed in duration of pain [(3.1 ± 1.0)d vs (8.9 ± 1.2) d],time of ventilator use [(3.0 ± 1.0) d vs (4.8 ± 1.0) d] and hospital length of stay [(10.0 ± 1.1) d vs (15.8 ± 1.0) d] (P < 0.01).SES in operation group was (28.3 ± 2.1) versus (24.4 ± 3.3) points in non-operation group (P < 0.01).No major complications occurred in operation group,but there were 20 pleural effusion,15 severe thoracic collapse or deformity,14 lung infection,10 refractory chest pain and 2 upper limb dysfunction in non-operation group (P <0.01).Two patients presented mobility limitation in operation group,but 12 had evident loss of mobility in non-operation group (P <0.01).Conclusions Thoracoscope-assisted internal fixation is effective to accelerate the pace of recovery,relieve pains,reduce complications and thus can be a priority method for treatment of rib fractures.

The diversity in Tibetan kefir grains and dynamics of the microbial community during the fermentation of Tibetan kefir by PCR-DGGE fingerprinting technique were studied.The results showed that bacterial community of Tibetan kefir grains was more complex than that of yeast.The bacteria communities between different Tibetan kefir grains showed 78%~84% similarity, and yeast 80%~92%.Bands B, E and N of DGGE profiles of the microbial community during fermentation of Tibetan kefir were present throughout the fermentation.Analysis of sequence date showed the majority of the DGGE bands of bacteria community corresponded to LAB, and the most intense band (band E) was completely homology to Lactococcus lactis.

OBJECTIVE:To provide suggestions for the improvement of curriculum system of Pharmacy Administration(Ph.A).METHODS:The basic information was collected by searching official website and the websites of universities and colleges,and the detailed data were collected through questionnaire survey.RESULTS:In the 111 universities and colleges investigated,a total of 51 curriculums(or 399 courses) related to Ph.A were set up.The main curriculums are pharmacy administration(210 courses),pharmaceutical marketing(61 courses),pharmacy laws and regulations(26 courses).In different universities and colleges,the credit hours,semester and property of Ph.A curriculums are different.CONCLUSIONS:The system of Ph.A curriculums has become more and more comprehensive,and the setup of each course suits the need of social needs.But the setup of curriculums of Ph.A in each university or college was far from systematical,and its structure remained to be optimized,and the structure of the teaching materials of Ph.A should be strengthened.

Objective To explore the characteristics of chromosome karyotypes in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML),and to provide help to individualized treatment.Methods The date of chromosome karyotypes of 313 patients and FISH of 45 of these patients with CML excluding Ph chromosome negative (Ph-) after treatment were collected from January 2014 to June 2015.Karyotypes were detected by R-banding.Results In the 313 cases,307 cases (98.08 %) were Ph chromosome positive (Ph+) and 6 cases (1.92 %) were Ph-.In the Ph+ patients,288 cases (93.81%) were classical Ph+,and 19 cases (6.19 %) were variant rearrangements.There were 48 cases (15.34 %) with additional chromosome changes in all patients,including 41 cases (13.10 %) with classical Ph+ and 7 cases (2.24 %) with variant rearrangements.The most common additional chromosome changes were in the following order:+der(22) Ph (35.42 %),+8 (33.33 %) and +21 (12.50 %).The most frequent pattern of combination was +der(22) combined with +8 (16.67 %),followed by +8 combined with +21 (10.42 %).The proportion of pure Ph+ patients in chronic phase was higher than that of advanced phase,but proportion of classical Ph+ patients with additional chromosome changes in chronic phase was lower than that in advanced phase (x2 =1 11.55,P < 0.01).The proportions of chronic phase and advanced phase patients with simple variant rearrangements were not different from those with complex variant rearrangements (P =0.582).The results of FISH in 45 cases were all positive,including 5 cases with 2 GIR1Y.Conclusion Karyotype analysis can reveal the instability of genetic and the characteristics of disease progression by identifying the evolution of Ph,which provides the basis for clinical doctors to choose suitable treatment.
