Objective To explore the main inhalational and alimentary allergens which triggers allergic asthma in children in Suzhou area.Methods The serum specific aspiration allergens were detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in 119 children with bronchial asthma,including 7 kinds of common inhalational allergens.The 6 kinds of alimentary allergens test was conducted in 65 children.Results The total inhalational allergens positive rate of the subject was 75.63%(90/119).The highest rate was dust mite 49.58%(59/119),then was house dust 21.02%(25/119),animal hair 19.33%(23/119).The positive rate of aspiration allergens increased with the patient′s age and showed a positive correlation.Positive rate of food allergens was 49.23%(32/65).Of them,the highest rate was fish 20.0%(13 cases),then was lobster and claw 16.92%(11 cases),egg 12.31%(8 cases).Conclusions Inhalational allergens are the main allergens in children with asthma in Suzhou district.The positive rate of aspiration allergens increases with the patient′s age.The most common allergen is dust mite.The allergen test plays a clinically significant and advisable role in treatment and prognosis in bronchial asthma in children.

AIM: To observe the synergetic analgesic effects of low dose of haloperidol, a dopamine antagonist and under-threshold dose of morphine on mice induced by thermal and acetic acid, and to analyze the major mechanism of their synergetic actions. METHODS: To examine the analgesic synergetic effect of haloperidol (0.315 mg/kg, 0.625 mg/kg, 1.25 mg/kg, ip respectively), morphine (3.125 mg/kg, 6.25 mg/kg, 12.5 mg/kg ip, respectively) or combining effect of haloperidol (0.3125 mg/kg) with morphine (3.125 mg/kg) on mice, we compared the change of pain threshold stimulated by thermal, latent period of twisting, the number of times of twisting by acetic acid, and we also estimated the antagonistic effect of d -amphetamine (10 mg/kg) and naloxone (5 mg/kg) on haloperidol and morphine group. RESULTS: Combination of haloperidol with morphine significantly enhanced pain threshold of mice induced by thermal, prolonged latent period of twisting and decreased the number of times of twisting. Naloxone markedly antagonized the combination of analgesic action of haloperidol and morphine and not d -amphetamine. CONCLUSION: Combination of haloperidol with morphine have synergetic analgesic effect and morphine is the dominant factor.

Objective To analyze the clinical manifestations and the features of brain MRI and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings in adult Chinese patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis.Methods We reviewed the clinical manifestations,brain MRI and CSF examinations of 29 patients who were diagnosed as anti-NMDAR encephalitis.Results The major clinical features of anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients included psychiatric symptoms (86%,25/29),seizures (83%,24/29),decreased consciousness (55%,16/29),involuntary movements (55%,16/29),central hypoventilation (34%,10/29),and hypersalivation (17%,5/29).Some patients also experienced autonomic instability,hemiplegia and aphasia.Underlying ovarian teratoma was identified in 14% of affected patients(4/29).Brain MRI was found abnormal in up to 62% patients (18/29),located in the temporal lobes,hippocampus,thalamus,brain stem,cingulate gyrus,frontal and parietal cortex,corpus callosum,internal capsule,basal ganglia and periventricular area.CSF findings were abnormal in 83% of patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis.Oligoclonal banding in CSF was positive in 95% patients (19/20).The recurrence rate during 3 years was 31% (9/29).Conclusions Anti-NMDAR encephalitis is a treatable disease,yet with high recurrence rate.Its predominant clinical features are psychiatric symptoms and seizures,while involuntary movements,central hypoventilation and hypersalivation are its characteristic manifestations.Lesions in MRI are widespread,not only restricted to limbic lobe.

Objective To investigate the expression of a novel imprinted gene,PEG10,in human gastric adenocarcinoma,and the effect of PEG10 on cell growth and proliferation of gastric cancer cells.Methods The PEG10 mRNA expressions in 40 human gastric adenocarcinoma,the corresponding adjacent normal tissues and 6 nomal gastric tissues were detected by RT-PCR.The expression vectors of PEG10 were constructed and transfected into gastric cancer cell line MKN45 which had no endogenetic PEG10 expression.Cell growth ability was measured by MTT assay.Results High PEG10 mRNA expression level was detected in 9 of 20(45.0%) human gastric adenocarcinoma which was significantly higher than those of the matched normal tissues(10.0%)(P

Objective: To explore the value of implanted intensity-modulated bmchytherapy for recurred cervical carcinoma. Metheds: A total of 25 cases of recurred cervical carcinoma were enrolled into the trial group which were treated with pelvic implanted aftedoading intensity-modulated brachytherapy. The other 25 patients with recurred cervical carcinoma treated with routine brachytherapy during the same pedod were en-rolled into the control group. Results: There were 20 cases with CR and 5 cases with PR in the trial group, and 10 cases with CR, 7 cases with PR, 4 cases with SD and 4 cases with PD in the control group, with a signifi-cant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). In the trial group, there were 5 cases with vaginal-rectal fis-tula and 1 case with grade 3 enteritis. In the control group, there were 3 cases with vaginal-rectal fistula. Con-dusion: Pelvic implanted intensity-modulated brachytherapy for recurred cervical carcinoma is satisfactory with better short-term efficacy than that of the routine brachytherapy and tolerable side effects.

Objective: To investigate the position and the size of ureteral stone in patients before treated with ureteroscopic lithotripsy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), as well as the dilatation of ureter caused by stone, which may be helpful for better understanding of pathogenesis of ureteral stone and improvement of the diagnosis and treatment in clinic.Methods: A total of 129 cases with ureteral stone for endourologic lithotripsy in Peking University People''s Hospital from Aug.2016 to Mar.2017 were included for the retrospective review.The CT data of the ureteral stones and the ureteral dilatation were collected, including the position of stone, the transverse and longitudinal diameter of stone, and the transverse diameter of dilated upper ureter and ureteropelvic junction (UPJ).The distribution of ureteral stones and dilatation in different parts of ureter were compared and analyzed.Results: All of the 129 cases of ureteral stone, stones were located at UPJ in 9 cases (7.0%), proximal ureter in 75 (58.0%), ureter crossing external iliac vessel (UEIV) in 6 (4.7%), distal ureter in 26 (20.2%), and ure-terovesical junction (UVJ) in 13 (10.1%).The mean transverse diameter of proximal ureteral stones was greater than that of distal ureteral stones [(8.47±2.36) mm vs.(6.74±1.99) mm, P<0.001], as the same as the mean longitudinal diameter [(11.00±4.41) mm vs.(7.50±4.28) mm, P<0.001].In 114 cases of dilated ureter for stone, the UPJ had a greater transverse diameter compared with the upper ureter [(14.39±6.09) mm vs.(11.45±3.85) mm, P<0.001].Conclusion: The most common location of stone is the proximal ureter in patients for endourologic lithotripsy, as the location in UEIV is rare.Both transverse and longitudinal diameters of stone in proximal ureter are greater than those in distal ureter.For dilated ureter, it is more severe in UPJ than in upper ureter.Traditionally, it is accepted that the stones lodge at 3 sites of natural narrowing in ureter, which may be questioned.

Objective To investigate the expression of Survivin,receptor for advanced glycation endproduct(RAGE) and high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) gene in human breast cancer and their clinical significance.Methods The expression of Survivin,RAGE and HMGB1 gene was detected by Real-time PCR technology and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technology in the following tissue samples:50 early breast cancers,50 advanced breast cancers,and the corresponding adjacent normal mammary tissues.The relationship of their expression and several factors such as differentiation degree,invasion,lymph node metastasis and TNM stage of cancer was explored.Results The positive expression rate of Survivin,RAGE and HMGB1 gene was 62%,73% and 79% detected by Real-time PCR technology,78%,69% and 72% detected by FISH technology in breast cancer tissues.The overexpression of these genes was positively correlated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis.The expression of Survivin gene was positively correlated with the expression of RAGE and HMGB1.Conclusion Overexpression of Survivin,RAGE and HMGB1 gene is of great significance in early diagnosis and prognosis of human breast cancer.
