Objective To investigate the risk factors of hypersensitivity induced by compound sulfamethoxazole (Co-SMZ)in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)infection.Methods A retrospective study was performed in 111 patients with HIV infection receiving prophylactic Co-SMZ at the Department of Infectious Diseases,the Third People′s Hospital of Nantong City,Jiangsu Province from January 2014 to December 2014.Data including age,gender,interval time from diagnosis of HIV infection to hospitalization,history of drug allergy,and the counts of CD3 + T cell,CD4 + T cell,CD8 + T cell and natural killer (NK)cell on the day when the medicine was administrated for the first time were recorded. All the patients were followed up for two months.Student t test was used in data with normal distribution or approximate normal distribution.Rank sum test was used in data with skew distribution.The count materials were examined byχ2 test.Results Among the 111 patients with HIV infection,there were 107 males and 4 females with average age of (45 .7±11 .1)years old.The interval time from taking Co-SMZ to hypersensitivity was (14.0±7.6)d.There were differences in the counts of CD4 + T cell and NK cell between patients with hypersensitivity and without hypersensitivity (both P <0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that NK cell was a risk factor for inducing hypersensitivity (OR=1 .010,95 %CI :1 .005 -1 .017, P =0.001).The area under of receiver operating characteristic curve predicting hypersensitivity induced by Co-SMZ was 0.748 (95 %CI :0.647-0.850,Z =4.701 ,P =0.001).The best predictor was 109.80/μL with sensitivity of 63.2% and specificity of 84.7%.Conclusion In patients with HIV infection,NK cell might be associated with hypersensitivity induced by Co-SMZ.

Objective To study the regularity changes in serum levels of C-reactive protein(CRP)and mannose-binding lectin(MBL)in patients of community acquired pneumonia(CAP)with different syndrome patterns of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),and to explore the new objective markers to differentiate the syndrome patterns of TCM. Methods According to The Guideline on TCM diagnosis and treatment of CAP(2011 edition),104 patients with CAP were selected and their syndromes were cassified into 3 classes and 8 patterns of syndrome:excessive class〔including following patterns:wind-heat invading lung(fengrexifei),exopathic cold and interior heat(waihanneire), accumulation of heat in lung(tanreyongfei),accumulation of phlegm-dampness in lung(tanshiyongfei)〕,deficient vital QI leading to lingering of pathogen class〔qi deficiency of lung and spleen(feipiqixu),both qi and yin deficiency (qiyinliangxu)〕,TCM critical class〔heat falling into pericardium(rexianxinbao),pathogen invasion and vital qi deterioration(xiexianzhengtuo)〕. In the same period,after physical examinations,100 healthy volunteers were chosen as healthy control group. The serum levels of CRP and MBL were detected before treatment and after treatment for 4 days and 7 days. Results Among the 104 CAP patients,the most popular class of syndrome was the excessive one(63.5%),followed by deficient vital QI leading to lingering of pathogen(19.2%)and TCM critical class(17.3%). The serum CRP level in CAP patients at each time point was higher than that in healthy control group,which had a different tendency to change over time in different syndrome patterns of TCM. With the prolongation of treatment time,the serum CRP levels in fengrexifei and waihanneire patterns returned to a normal level on the 7th day(mg/L:13.51±11.48,7.07±1.84 vs. 6.96±2.19,both P>0.05),in feipiqixu and qiyinliangxu patterns the CPR levels were higher,but its descent rate was relatively fast,and on the 7th day it was approximately normal in spite of being higher than the level in healthy control group(25.25±25.90,18.17±23.19 vs. 6.96±2.19,both P<0.05);in tanreyongfei and tanshiyongfei patterns,although the CPR levels were decreased,they still maintained at relatively high levels on the 7th day after treatment(51.70±27.33,49.28±30.57),and no downtrend of CPR was seen in rexianxinbao and xiexianzhengtuo patterns. Before treatment,the serum MBL levels in CAP patients with fengrexifei,waihanneire, tanreyongfei,tanshiyongfei,feipiqixu and qiyinliangxu patterns were higher than the level in healthy control group, and in rexianxinbao and xiexianzhengtuo patterns,the levels were lower than those in other patterns and kept being at relatively lower levels along with the prolongation of the therapy. Conclusion Serum CRP can be used as a reference marker for different syndrome patterns of TCM in patients with CAP,and low serum MBL level was a risk factor of severe syndrome patterns of TCM and a poor prognosis in CAP.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of bone scanning and bone alkaline phosphatase (B-ALP) detection in diagnosis of osseous metastases in lung cancer. Methods 58 patients with lung cancer were examined by bone scanning and serum alkaline phosphates(ALP) and B-ALP detection. The results were analyzed. Results Among the 58 patients, bone scanning found osseous metastases in 33 patients, the incidence was 56.90 %. Among the 58 patients, the incidence of bone metastasis of adenocarcinoma was 70.97 % (22/33) and squamous carcinoma was 42.86 % (9/21) (x2 =4.109, P =0.0427). The incidence of bone metastases increased in B-ALP ≥150 U/L. B-ALP was significantly correlated with the number of metastatic loci in bone. The sensitivity of bone scanning is the highest (93.94 %), but specificity the lowest (92.00 %).The sensitivity combining bone scanning and B-ALP is the lowest (57.58 %), but the specificity the highest (100.00 %). Conclusion Whole-body bone scanning has high sensitivity in early detection of bone metastases. For diagnosis of osseous metastases in patients with lung cancer, bone scanning is the primary choice. Combining the bone scanning with B-ALP can increase specificity. B-ALP has certain using value to confirm bone metastasis and decide the disease extent.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) on rat fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). Methods The rat MSC were separated and purified by adherent culture of whole bone marrow cells. The rat FHF models were established by CCl4 intragastric administration.The rats were divided into experimental group (n=20) and model control group (n=20).And the same dose of saline was administered to rats as normal controls (n=8).Dosage of 1.0 × 106 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) labeled MSC were transplanted into rats in experimental group and normal control group through caudal veins,and the same dose of saline was given intravenously in model control group.Part of rats in each group were sacrificed after 7 days and 14 days of injection to evaluate the general condition,survival rate,liver function,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α level,liver pathology and MSC homing to the liver between experimental group and model control group.Normal distribution data were compared by independent-sample t test and nonnormal distribution data were analyzed by non-parameter test.ResultsAfter 3 days of injection,the generalcondition of experimental group were better than the model control group. After 7 days of injection,there were 15 and 8 survival rats,the survival rates were statistically different between experimental group and model control group (x2 =4.122,P＜0.05).After 7 days and 14 days of injection,the liver function and TNF-α levels were statistically different between experimental group and model control group (both P ＜0.05),and liver pathology improvement in experimental group was more significant than model control group.DAPI labeled cells increased after transplantation in experimental group, whilefewDAPIlabeledcellswere observedinnormalcontrolgroup.ConclusionsMSC can home to liver of FHF rats after MSC allogeneic transplantation through caudal veins,which can improve liver immunity and liver tissue necroinflammation,and facilitate recovery of liver function.Therefore,it is demonstrated that MSC transplantation has obvious therapeutic effect on rat FHF.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of the Hubei Wingnut ( Malus hapehensis ) leaf decoction (MHD) against conjunctivitis infected with human simplex virus type I (HSV-1). Methods Malus hupehcnsis decoction was used as the active treatment and ribavirin ( RBV) eye drop was used as the positive control. Both of the Vero cells and rabbit eye conjunctiva were infected with HSV-1. The effect and mechanism of the MHD on viral replication was determined by observing the cytopathic effect ( CPE) . The efficacy of MHD at different doses on the rabbit viral conjunctivitis was examined by pathological changes of eye conjunctiva tissues. Results MHD did not inhibit the proliferation of HSV-1 in vitro. The inflammatory reactions of rabbit viral conjunctivitis caused by HSV-1 were obviously attenuated or disappeared after treatment with MHD at 6 kg·L-1 and 3 kg·L-1 for 7 consecutive days,compared with the negative control of 0. 9% NaCl. The curative rate of MHD at the middle and high doses was 83. 3% and 100. 0%, respectively. Conclusion MHD has the potential for treating eye conjunctivitis caused by HSV-1 by relieving inflammation.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of 8 Hz infrasound on the expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in rats' hippocampus and temporal cortex.Methods140 male SD rats were randomly divided into the control group, and experimental groups that exposed to infrasound of 8Hz,90dB,100dB and 130dB for 1,7,14,21,28,35,42 days. Experimental groups were exposed to infrasound for 2 hours each day. The control group was only placed in the infrasonic storehouse but without infrasound. Rats' brains were taken as soon as the exposure finished and strained by immunohistochemistry. The content of 5-HT in hippocampus and temporal cortex was detected under an optical microscope.ResultsInfrasound groups had less expression of 5-HT in hippocampus and temporal cortex than the control group (P<0.01), and the least were at the 28th day for 90 dB and 100 dB groups and the 21st day for 130 dB group. Then the expression of 5-HT had an increase in each group.ConclusionThe deceased expression of 5-HT in rats' hippocampus and temporal cortex could result from infrasound of 8 Hz. Rules of change are related to the parameter of infrasound and the 130 dB 8 Hz infrasound can induce greater changes compared with that of 100 dB and 90 dB.
