Objective To understand the sleeping time and the prevalence of sleep disturbances in children aged 3-12 years in Wuxi city.Methods Two thousand and three hundred seventy six children aged 3-12 years were investigated with questionnaires from June to September 2003.Results The average sleep time of 1 day in each age group was 11.61,10.91,10.68,10.27,9.81, 9.67,9.61,9.57,9.60,9.61 hours, respectively. The total prevalence of sleep disturbance was 25.5%. Among them, the sleep snoring prevalence was 7.8%; choke/gargling was 0.63%;mouth breathing was 6.6%;sleep apnea was 0.34%;rubbing teeth was 7.7%;sleep talking was 4.2%;somnambulate was 0.63%;enuresis was 1.4%;limber spasm was 3.2%;sleep inquietude was 6.2%。Conclusion Prevalence of sleep disturbance in children age 3-12 years was high and sleep time was shorter in Wuxi than that in other cities.

The accurate medical treatment is based on the information of the genome, which is the best treatment for the patients. Population pharmacokinetic study can be formulated according to the individual differences of patients to the dose, in the accurate medical model which has a unique advantage. At present, there are many problems such as adverse drug reaction in Chinese traditional medicine, and it is necessary to introduce a group of medicine on the basis of precise medical treatment. However, due to the different characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine and chemical medicine, it is necessary to combine the population pharmacokinetics, genetics and statistical methods to establish a research method which is in line with the characteristics of Chinese medicine. The key scientific problem is to make clear the active components of Chinese medicine metabolism of the drug metabolic enzyme gene, and pay attention to the analysis of the polymorphism of the overall role of drug metabolism enzymes in the human body. Clear key scientific issues and break through the bottleneck, so as to achieve the precise medical treatment, to international.

More than ten bacteriophage of E.coli were isolated from the soil and the dung of the fowl-run, then three of named bacteriophage A, C, D which lysis E.coli virulently were selected to investigate biological characterizations. The results showed that high activities were obtained after the phages incubated at 50℃ for 1 h or 60℃ for 30 min. The phages could be alive at the range of pH from 4 to 12, Ca 2+ or Mg 2+ added to the medium could stimulate the lysis of phages. However, the formation of the plaque could be inhibited obviously by adding sodium citrate to the medium.

To investigate the inhibitory effects of RNAi expression vector on CaMKⅡ? expression of PC12 cell lines. siRNA expression vectors were constructed to be targeted directly at CaMKⅡ? gene. The recombinants were transfected into PC12 cell line with liposome. The expression of CaMKⅡ? was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Expression vectors could reduce the expressions of CaMKⅡ? mRNA and protein in PC12, Compared with blank vector group, the former, the ratio of inhibition of the expression of CaMKⅡ? mRNA was 46.40% and 64.69%, in 48th hour and 72th hour, the ratio of inhibitory of the expression of CaMKⅡ? protein was 74.77% in 72th hour. RNAi expression vectors can effectively inhibit the expression of CaMKⅡ? in PC12.

Objective To investigate the effect of intrathecal(IT)different concentrations of ozone(O_3) on pain threshold,motor function and cerebral spinal fluid(CSF)malondialdehyde(MDA)concentration and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and determine if ozone is toxic to central nervous system(CNS).Methods Thirty New Zealand white rabbits of both sexes aged 3-5 months,weighing 2.5-3.0 kg were randomly divided in 5 groups(n=6 each):groupⅠcontrol;groupⅡpure O_2;groupⅢO_2-O_3 30;groupⅣO_2-O_3 50 and groupⅤO_2-O_3 80.The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital.Cerebello-medullary cistern was punctured for IT administration of O_2 and O_3.In groupⅡ2 ml of pure oxygen(O_2)(for medical use)was injected IT.In groupⅢ,ⅣandⅤ2 ml of ozone(O_3)30,50 and 80 mg?L~(-1) was injected IT respectively.Ozone was manufactured by ozone generator(Ozoneline Co,Italy).Before and one day after IT O_3 paw withdrawal latency to heat(PWHL)and to mechanical stimulation(yon Frey filament)(PWML)were measured and motor function was assessed(1=normal,4=severe motor dysfunction and weakness).CSF was obtained at 1,2,4 h after IT O_3 for determination of MDA concentration and SOD activity.Results IT administration of the 3 concentrations of ozone did not affect pain threshold and motor function,but significantly increased SOD activity.MDA concentration decreased significantly at 4 h after IT O_2 or ozone administration in groupⅡ,ⅢandⅣ,but increased significantly at 1 and 2 h after IT ozone in groupⅤ.SOD/MDA was significantly increased at 1,2 and 4h after IT ozone in groupⅢandⅣ,but decreased at 1 and 2 h after IT ozone in groupⅤ.Conclusion IT ozone is toxic to CNS.

Objective To evaluate the effect of revascularization of the renal artery on urinary microglobulin in patients with coronaryartery disease and significant renal artery stenosis (RAS). Methods Forty-four patients with coronary artery disease and severe RAS (luminal narrowing＞70%) underwent percutaneous transluminal renal artery angioplasty (PTRA) and stenting, as well as percutaneous coronary intervention. The urine -microglobulin (α1-MG) and β2-Cmicroglobulin (β2-MG) at baseline and at 3 months after the procedures were measured. Procedural success rate, procedural complications, serum creatinine concentration at baseline and at 3-months were also recorded. Results At 3-months after the renal revascularization therapy, there was no significant change of urine α1-MG ompared with that of the baseline, however, the urine β2-MG decreased significantly 3-months after the treatment (237±187μg/L vs 377±173 μg/L, P＜0.01). Multivariate analysis revealed that persistent elevation of urine was an independent predictor of severe events (including re-admission and renal failure) after renal revascularization therapy in patients with severe RAS (OR=3.01,95% CI 1.01-8.95, P=0.036). Conclusions In patients with coronary artery disease and severe RAS, revascularization with PTRA and stenting may improve renal tubular function, but a continuous high level of urinary microglobulins after intervention is associated with more frequent re-hospitalization and renal failure.

Objective To investigate the effect of continuous high volume hemofiltration (HVHF)on respiratory mechanics and hemodynamics in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). MethodsForty-one adult patients with MODS who received mechanical ventilation were divided into HVHF group(21 cases) and continuous vein-vein hemofiltration (CVVH) group (20 cases) by envelople. The peak airway pressure (Ppeak), dynamic pulmonary compliance(Cdyn), cardiac output(CO ), systemic vascular resistance(SVR), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and blood gas analysis before treatment and 24 hours after treatment were measured. Results Twenty-four hours after treatment, the levels of Ppeak, Cdyn, CO, PVR,SVR and oxygenation index were (31.32 ±2.23) cm H2O (1 cm H2O =0.098 kPa), (26.18 ±3.54)(220.41 ±21.41) mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) respectively in HVHF group,significantly higher than those before treatment [(42.00 ±3.34) cm H2O, (17.91 ±4.31) ml/cm H2O, (8.68 ±1.17) L/min,(267.27 ± 16.29) dyn·s·cm-5, (805.32 ± 18.82)dyn ·s·cm-5, ( 119.41 ± 17.10) mm Hg] (P ＜ 0.01 ),as well as higher than those in CVVH group after 24 hours' treatment (P ＜ 0.01 ). ConclusionHVHF shows significant beneficial effects on respiratory mechanics and hemodynamics of MODS.
