Objective To study helper T lymphocyte cell(Th)1/Th2 imbalance in rats′ model of asthma and the modulation of lentinan(LNT) on the airway inflammation and Th1/Th2 imbalance.Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into control,asthma and LNT groups.In the experiment,the rat model of asthma was established by the ovalbumin(OVA) challenge methods.Eosinophils(Eos) number and differentiated cell number in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were counted by different count fluids.The levels of IL-4 and IFN-? in BALF were measured by sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results 1.The Eos count in BALF and the ratio of eosinophils to the total cell number(Eos%) of asthma group were significantly higher than those of the control group(t=21.94,12.81 Pa

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect and nursing points of different linked modes in hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion on renal osteopathy disease in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods Sixty-four MHD patients with renal osteopathy disease were enrolled in the study.They were divided into two groups by random digits table method:the front connection group and the back connection group with 32 cases each.Their clinical data,serum parameters and complications were recorded.The therapeutic effect of two groups were compared.Results The serum level of intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH) was (191.36 ± 53.96) ng/L in the front connection group,while (133.02 ± 38.63) ng/L in the back connection group,and there was significant difference,t=3.517,P＜0.05.The incidence of lower blood pressure and blood coagulation were 8.85％(51/576),6.94％(40/576) in the back connection group,while 14.93％(86/576),15.97％(92/576) in the front connection group,and there were significant differences,x2=10.149,23.136,P＜0.01.Conclusion The back linked mode in hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion can obviously decrease iP:TH of MHD patients combined with renal osteopathy disease and has less complications,worth clinical promotion.

OBJECTIVE: To study the results of TEOAE and AABR hearing screening and follow-up in NICU. METHOD: Total 574 cases in NICU were included in this study, all cases received both TEOAE and AABR hearing screening while admission and rescreening when one-month-old. The cases that were abnormal on either test in rescreening were asked to return for diagnostic tests at 3 moths old. The patients who didn't return as required in 3 months were surveyed by call and analyzed. RESULT: Among 574 cases, 472 cases passed both TEOAE and AABR hearing screening while admission. While 102 cases had abnormal test results in either screening test. Thirty-three cases returned for follow-up, 13 of which passed rescreening test one month after discharge, the other 20 cases had ABR diagnostic tests after 3 months. Among them, 8 cases had normal hearing, 12 cases had various degree of hearing loss. Sixty-nine cases lost follow-up. The reason of lost follow-up was as follows, parents changed phone number/contact information, parents didn't understand the screening results, parents believe that their children having no need for further testing; parents had retest in other hospitals, parents didn't pay attention to hearing loss because of other severe complicated comorbidities. CONCLUSION The passing rate (normal) of TEOAE and AABR hearing screening in NICU was 82.2%, non- passing rate wass 17.8%, and the prevalence of hearing loss was high in those followed cases. Hyperbilirubinemia was the main risk factors of hearing loss in our NICU patients. We reviewed the reason for high rate (67.6%) of losing follow-up.

Objective To explore the expression of c-Fos protein and character of mossy fiber sprouting(MFS) in hippocampus of rat with febrile seizures(FS).Methods Thirty-six 21-day-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into FS group,febrile control(FG) group and normal control(NG) group.FS was established by hyperthermal bath.Immune histochemistry and(Timm′s) staining were used to examine the expression of c-Fos protein in CA1 region and MFS in CA3 region of hippocampus.Results Excessive expression of c-Fos protein presented in the hippocampal CA1 region of FS group.The surface area percentage of c-Fos protein of FS group[(2.26?0.23)%] was higher than that of FG group[(1.08?0.19)%] and NG group[(0.71?0.14)%],there were significant difference between FS group and the other two groups(?~2=10.48 P

Objective To explore the value of 64-slice spiral CT angiography in diagnosis of pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas(PAVF).Methods 12 patients with suspect PAVF were performed by enhanced scan with 64-SliceCT.Two-dimensional and three-dimensional reformation were performed in all cases including coronal multiplanar reconstruction(MPR),maximum intensity projection(MIP),volume rendering(VR).Resnlts 12 cases were diagnosed as PAVF by 64-SliceCT angiography.Single PAVF in 7 cases,Multi-PAVF in 5cases.We found 20 lesions in 12 patients,Except direct multi-pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas in the area of near the heart in one case.Conclusion 64-slice spiral CT angiography is a useful and noninvasive means to identify PAVF and is also useful for therapeutic planning and postoperative follow-up.

Objective To learn more about the clinical and laboratory features of childhood paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria(PNH) and to improve the diagnosis.Methods The clinical and laboratory features of 12 cases of PNH were analyzed,who were diagnosed from January 2000 to November 2004,and the positive responses to treatments were observed.Results 1) The youngest age of onset was 2 years;the disease often manifested with anemia(100%),recurrent infections(50%) and hemorrhages(33%),occurring mainly in skin and mucosa.No patient developed a thrombosis.2) 66.7% of the patients showed peripheral blood cytopenia.Dysplasia of bone marrow was observed in 25% of patients.Fifty percent of them had an increased percentage of erythroid lineage.3) Positive hemolytic tests included urine OB 41.6%,Ham′s test 33.3% and Rous′ test 25%.Glycosyl-phosphatidyl inositol(GPI) deficient cells were found in 100% of the patients.4) 57.1% of patients was improved after being treated with adrenocortical hormone,androgens or cysporin.Conclusions Besides hemoglobinuria,peripheral blood cytopenia were also the common manifestation of PNH.Flow cytometry based immunophenotypic methods for the analysis of CD_(55) and CD_(59) may improve the diagnosis of PNH.J Appl Clin Pediatr,2006,21(3):153-154

Objective To evaluate safety and efficacy of EUS-FNA for occupying pancreatic lesions.Methods Data of 62 patients with occupying pancreatic lesions,who underwent EUS-FNA between June 2011 and June 2014,were analyzed for completion and complications,with surgery and clinical follow-up as the golden standard.Accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of EUS-FNA were calculated.Results A total of 62 patients with pancreatic lesions successfully underwent EUS-FNA and median puncture number was 4.2(3 to 8).Success rate of puncture was 100％ and sampling satisfaction rate was 90.3％ (56/62).No complications such as fever,infection,bleeding,perforation,severe pancreatitis or death were found.With the final diagnosis as the golden standard(39 malignant lesions and 23 benign lesions),overall diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA was 88.7％(55/62).The cytology diagnostic accuracy was 69.4％ (43/62),significantly higher than that of the tissue pathology of 30.6％ (19/62,P＜0.01).Sensitivity and specificity of the procedure were 87.2％(34/39) and 91.3％(21/23) respectively.Conclusion EUS-FNA is an effective and safe procedure in diagnosis of occupying pancreatic lesions.

To explore a new method for identification of Mongolian patent medicine (MPM) by PCR amplification of specific alleles. Eight kinds of MPM were used to study the identification of "Digeda" raw materials. The total DNA of Lomatogonium rotatum and Corydalis bungeana samples were extracted through modified CTAB method, psbA-trnH sequence was amplified by PCR and sequenced directionally. Specific primer was designed. The DNA of 8 kinds of MPM also was extracted and purified by the commercial DNA purification kits. The rbcL and two pair of specific primers sequences were amplified. The specific amplified products were sequenced in forward directions. All specific sequences were aligned and were analyzed. The results indicated that L rotatum can be identified by specific primers from Digeda-4 Tang, Digeda-8 San, Digeda-4 San, and C. bungeana medicinal materials can be identified by specific primers from Li Dan Ba Wei San, Yi He Ha Ri-12 and A Ga Ri-35. PCR amplification of specific alleles can stably and accurately distinguish raw medicinal materials in MPM.
