To solve the problems of induction of anesthesia in patients with extreme trachea occulusion, femoral-femoral cardiopulmonary bypass (FFCPB) was used in 9 patients with nearly total tracheal obstruction prior to induction of anesthesia. After FFCPB was set up under local anesthesia, general anesthesia and surgery began soon. The results showed the patients were quiet and co-operative 3 to 5 mins following FFCPB with the disappearance of tissue hypoxia syndrome and attenuation of hypertension and taehycardia. During FFCPB PaO_2 increased from 7.6～9.8 to 16～40kPa, PaCO_2 decreased from 7.4～8.2 to 4.5～5.9 kPa, SaO_2 increased from 71.6～79.9 to 98.0～99.9%, urine volume, blood pressure and heart rate were maintained at satisfactory levels. The results indicate that FFCPB prior to induction of anesthesia is a rapid, safe and effective method in rescuing patients with nearly complete obstruction of the main trachea.

Dengue is the most wide-spread arthropod-borne viral disease of humans in the tropic and sub-tropic regions.In this study,genomic sequences of more than 3 000 dengue viruses available in the GenBank were aligned and analyzed by sero type.According to phylogenetic trees generated by the minimum evolution method of MEGA5.0,dengue viruses were divided into 4-6 genotypes within the four serotypes,respectively.Meanwhile,it was indicated that the distribution of most genotypes was associated with geographic origins of dengue viruses.Probable origins for most of the 39 strains from China with genomic sequences were deduced from relevant ancestral strains in the context of ME trees.These results revealed that the genotype distribution of dengue viruses was geographic origin-specific at genomic level,and that diverse introduction sources were attributed to dengue outbreaks in China.

Dengue is the most common vector borne viral disease of humans globally.Detection of viral RNA from suspected patient specimens is rapid,specific and confirmative in laboratory diagnosis of dengue infections during the acute phase.In this study,a multiplex nested reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) system was established for clinical specimens.While other nucleic acid amplification tests showed relatively low sensitivity,the multiplex nested RT PCR assay detected 4 cases among blood clots from 8 serologically confirmed dengue patients.These results suggested that blood clots of dengue patients could be used in laboratory diagnosis,and that the multiplex nested RT PCR assay,which simplified the detection procedure,could facilitate viral RNA detection of specimens in clinical laboratories.

Objective:To investigate the inducing effects of sunitinib malate on expression of NKG2D ligands in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell ABCG2high CNE2/DDP.Methods:ABCG2highCNE2/DDP cells and Allo-NK cells were isolated by magnetic activated cell sorting(MACS).Flow cytometry was used to evaluate the purity of isolated cells and the expression of NKG2D-ligands on target cells before and after incubation with sunitinib malate.Then the cytotoxic sensitivity of treated and un-treated ABCG2high CNE2/DDP cells to Allo-NK cells were measured by LDH releasing assay.Results:The positive rate of ABCG2 in ABCG2highCNE2/DDP cells was(91.40?2.32)%.More than 90% of isolated Allo-NK cells were proven to be CD3-CD16+CD56+ cells.The expression of MICA,MICB,ULBP1,ULBP2 and ULBP3 on ABCG2high CNE2/DDP cells incubated with sunitinib malate increased from(2.92?0.33)%,(4.27?0.33)%,(5.80?0.62)%,(11.10?3.15)%,and(7.75?1.14)% to(89.12?4.56)%,(66.10?2.22)%,(67.56?4.19)%,(69.37?8.83)%,and(63.28?3.31)%,respectively.At the E ∶T ratios of 10 ∶1 and 20 ∶1,the cytotoxic sensitivities of ABCG2high CNE2/DDP cells to Allo-NK cells increased from(15.32?13.86)% and(27.26?6.81)% to(41.12?4.12)% and(57.25?2.37)%,respectively,after treatment with sunitinib malate,with significantly difference found in the cytotoxic sensitivities of target cells in each group before and after sunitinib malate treatment(F=15.58,P=0.000).Conclusion:Sunitinib malate can up-regulate expression of NKG2D-ligands(MICA/B,ULBP1-3)in ABCG2high nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells,which results in higher cytotoxic sensitivity to Allo-NK cells.

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is an important encephalitis virus in Asia, currently both Genotype I (G1) and Genotype III (G3) strains are circulating in China, while JEV isolates from Fujian belonged to G3. In this report, five clinical JEV strains were isolated from specimens of suspected JE patients in Fujian, 2005-2008. Phylogenetic analysis of partial C/PrM and full-length E genes revealed these five strains also belonged to G3. Meanwhile, homogeneity analysis indicated that 2005-2008 isolates were closely related to strains from several years ago, rather than to those strains from 1950s. Minor variations were identified at several amino acid residues of the envelope protein, however, none of these mutations was associated with pathogenicity of JEV. These data contribute to continuous tracking of the geographic evolution of JEV over a long period.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of balloon sinuplasty, and to summarize the main points of its use. METHOD: Fifteeen patients (41 sinuses) were offered treatment with a new technique of balloon sinuplasty and followed for 3 to 6 months after surgery, including "balloon-only" patients and "hybrid" patients. Effectiveness was evaluated by endoscopic examination and computed tomographic (CT) scan. The effect of the operation was tested by the Lund-Mackay CT scores, and the patient's subjective symptoms were tested by the sino-nasal outcome test-20 (SNOT-20) to evaluate postoperative condition. RESULT: Fifteeen patients (41 sinuses) were followed after surgery, including 9 "balloon-only" patients and 6 "hybrid" patients. No unanticipated adverse effects were noted in any patients. Endoscopic examination showed the sinus ostium was opening well, and CT scan showed the lesions apparently disappeared. Lund-Mackay CT scores showed that all patients postoperative scores were significantly improved from baseline at 3 months and 6 months. SNOT-20 showed that all patients postoperative scores were significantly improved from baseline at 3 months and 6 months. There was no significant difference between the "balloon-only" patients and "hybrid" patients. Operation curative effect is very confirmed, and subjective symptoms improved significantly. CONCLUSION Balloon sinuplasty can not only open nasal sinus effectively, but also preserve normal tissue structure and mucous membrane of nasal cavity and nasal sinus. Balloon sinuplasty appears to be a safe, effective and minimally invasive treatment option to relieve sinus ostial obstruction. Patients who received balloon catheter sinusotomy in endoscopic sinus surgery had significant improvement after surgery. Balloon sinuplasty can also be combined with the endoscopic sinus surgery to achieve a better therapeutic effect. It is worth of clinical promotion and application.

Since several dengue viruses (DENV) have been isolated in Fujian Province during the past decade, sequencing and evolution analyses of viral envelope genes are helpful in determining their possible transmission origins. In this study, viral RNA was extracted from 12 DENV strains from Fujian between 20042010. Viral envelope genes were amplified, cloned into TA vectors and sequenced, and the sequence data were subsequently analyzed by bioinformatics software. Full-length E genes of DENV-1 or DENV-2 of 1 485 bp, and DENV- 3 of 1 479 bp were obtained. It was indicated, from BLAST analysis and phylogenetic trees, that DENV strains in Fujian Province during 20042010 shared the highest similarity with Southeast Asian strains, suggesting that DENV circulating in Fujian Province between 20042010 were probably imported from Southeast Asia. Hence, extensive monitoring on passengers from this region at the entry-ports should be strengthened.
