To prepare monoclonal antibodies for blocking acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC)viruses,BALB/C mice were immunized with Hela cells.The spleen of immunemouse was re-moved,and spleen cells were fused with SP2/0 cells.The antibodies against cell receptors wereselected by cell protection assay.Four cell strains secreted McAbs designated R7.R8.R16 andR24 were screened to be able to block cellular receptors and inhibit the infection of Ev70 as wellas CA24v on Hela cell.These results demonstrate that the receptors for Ev70 and CA24v are si-miliar.Indirect immunofluorescence test with the four McAbs showed definite fluorescence onliving Hela cells,which the intensity was concordance with the mean intensity resulted fromflowcytometer.Positive reaction on fixed Hela cells were only observed with R7 and R8.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum cytokines in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP).Methods A total of 239 children with MPP hospitalized in our department from Jan 2008 to Dec 2009 served as MPP group,which were redivided into mild MPP group (n =152) and severe MPP group ( n =87 ).Two hundred and sixty-three acute bronchopneumonia children without MPP infection served as non-MPP group.Fifty cases who would undergo hernia and phimosis elective surgery in pediatric surgery department served as control group.All children with pneumonia were detected mycoplasma pneumoniae antibodies and cytokines (TNF-α,IFN-γ,IL-1β,IL-4,IL-6) of serum in the first day of hospitalization and recovery period.Children in control group were detected the level of cytokines only once.Results Serum levels of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6 in MPP group and non-MPP group were higher than those in　control group ( P ＜ 0.01 ).No significant differences of IFN-γ and IL-4 levels were found among three groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Compared with non-MPP group,the levels of IFN-γ,IL-1β and IFN-γ/IL-4 were higher in MPP group ( P ＜ 0.01 ).The levels of TNF-α,IL- 1β,IL-6,and IFN-γ/IL-4 were significantly decreased in　the recovery period of MPP (P ＜0.001,P ＜ 0.05 ).The levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and IFN-γ/IL-4 in severe　MPP children were higher than those in mild MPP children ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion The immunologic　function of MPP children is unbalanced.The serum levels of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6,and IFN-γ/IL-4 are correlated with severity of MPP,which help to evaluate the state of MPP.

Radiotherapy is one of the main treatment options for patients with advanced limited non small cell lung cancer.From the viewpoint of radiobiology,the change of fractionation schedule in radiotherapy might improve the therapeutic effect.There are many different methods of fractionated irradiation: from conventional radiation including hyperfractionated radiotherapy,accelerated radiotherapy and hypofractionated radiotherapy,etc.In this paper,we summarized the definition of the different types of fractionated irradiation, and its clinical application.

Feeding difficulty is a widespread problem with high incidence in the premature infant and small for gestational age. There are many factors to impact the feeding difficulty in premature and small for ges-tational age,including suffocation,primary disease,gestational age,milk time,pregnancy factors,environmental factors,hormone levels. In this paper,we summarize the feeding difficulties′ etiology,pathogenesis,treatment a-bout premature and small for gestational age,aimed at providing the basis of feeding difficulties′prevention and cure for premature and small for gestational age.

Laryngeal cartilage dysplasia,also known as congenital laryngeal cartilage softening or con-genital laryngeal stridor,a clinical common laryngeal disease in infant. It is often shown as airflow makes special sound through larynx or tracheal stenosis,also known as laryngeal stridor. Obstruction can be caused by airway lumen or external pressure. Airway obstruction position can be located in the nose,pharynx and larynx and tra-chea. Laryngeal stridor can be caused by many diseases,such as congenital laryngeal stridor,acute laryngeal,or acute laryngotracheobronchitis,respiratory tract foreign bodies,congenital laryngeal stenosis and laryngeal web, etc. The pathogenesis,pathology,clinical manifestation,diagnosis and treatment are reviewed.

Objective:To describe the clinical,radiological and pathological characteristics of idiopa-thic pulmonary haemosiderosis(IPH) in adults and to evaluate the methods of diagnosis and treatment.Methods:Two patients were successfully diagnosed and treated in our hospital and the literature on the subject was reviewed.Results:Two adult patients(19 and 34 years old) diagnosed in our hospital had 5 and 10 years of history of hemoptysis respectively,and chest CT showed bilateral diffuse alveolar opacities over mid and lower zones.Tests of antinuclear antibodies(ANAs),rheumatoid factor(RF),antineutrophilic cytopasmic antibodies(ANCA) and Anti-glomerular basement membrane(anti-GBM) antibody were negative.Haemosiderin-laden macrophages were found in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) whose color was yellow.Microscopic examination of the lung tissue specimens obtained by transbronchial lung biopsy(TBLB) revealed hemorrhage and numerous hemosiderin-laden macrophages in the alveoli and no vasculitis or capillaritis were seen.These findings were consistent with a diagnosis of IPH.Steroid therapy had good effects.Conclusion:IPH is a diagnosis of exclusion of other causes of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage(DAH).IPH adults have relatively good drug responses and relatively good prognoses.

OBJECTIVETo study the correlation between serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) level and feeding difficulties in preterm infants.

METHODSA retrospective analysis was performed on 200 preterm infants born between January 2013 and January 2014. Venous blood samples were obtained within 24 hours after birth to determine the serum level of IGF-1. The correlation between IGF-1 level and feeding difficulties in preterm infants was analyzed by single-factor analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis.

RESULTSThe serum IGF-1 level in the feeding difficulty group was significantly lower than that in the control group (28±4 ng/mL vs 63±8 ng/mL; P<0.05). Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high gestational age and birth weight were protective factors for feeding difficulties in preterm infants, whereas asphyxia, delayed initiation of feeding, use of aminophylline, perinatal infection and decreased IGF-1 level were risk factors.

CONCLUSIONSThe level of serum IGF-1 is correlated with feeding difficulties in premature infants. A reduced IGF-1 level increases the risk of feeding difficulties.

Objective To compare the effect of injection with botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) before serial casting with BTX-A injection alone for the treatment of spastic equinus in children with cerebral palsy (CP).Methods Sixty patients were divided into an experimental group and a control group with 30 patients in each.Those io the experimental group received a BTX-A injection followed by serial casting,while the controls received BTX-A only.Before treatment and 1 month,3 months and 6 months after treatment,the dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM)of the ankle recorded while the knee in flexion and extension were measured,and gait was evaluated with an observational gait scale.Results Before treatment there was no significant inter-group difference in any of the 3 outcome measures.At 1 montb,3 months and 6 months after treatment,there were significant inter-group differences in all 3 measures,and also significant differences compared with before treatment in both groups.Conclusion Lower muscle tone,greater ankle mobility and better gait patterns can be promoted in CP children with spastic equinus using serial casting combined with BTX-A injection.The improvements may last longer than those after BTX-A injection alone.

Objective To explore the advantages of Argus method by comparing the accuracy and timeliness of Argus and artificial methods for measuring femoral head necrosis area in MRI scanning.Methods Totally 17 patients (31 hips) were measured with Argus and artificial methods respectively for the necrosis area, and then the measuring results and time were compared, and the correlation was investigated between the results and the patients' pain degree, along with that between the results and the extent of femoral head collapse.Results The necrosis area ratios determined by Argus and artificial methods were (33.5±4.08)%and (34.6±4.06)%respectively, with no statistical difference between the ratios (P>0.05). The time consumed by artificial method was (21.3 ±3.62)min, significantly longer than (7.89 ±1.03)min by Argus method, with P<0.001. Regression analysis proved that the necrosis areas were positively correlated with the patients' pain degree, and the correlation coefficient by Argus method was 0.807 8, more than 0.740 9 by artificial method. The femoral heads of 11 cases(16 hips) collapsed in the follow-up period, the necrosis areas were positively correlated with the patients collapse level, but the correlation coefficient by Argus method was 0.783 8, more than 0.726 7 by artificial method.Conclusion Argus method gains high accuracy and timeliness when used in MRI scanning of femoral head necrosis area, and thus is worth popularizing clinically.

Objective To study the biological characteristics of arsenic resistance cell model chronic arsenic exposure human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (CAsE-hFBMSCs) and discuss the consequence of chronic arsenite exposure to human mesenchymal stem cells (hFBMSCs). Methods hFBMSCs cultivated under general conditions,hFBMSC cell survival rate was detected in 48 hours with arsenite toxicity test under different doses arsenic [0(control),0.25,0.50,1.00,2.00,4.00,8.00,20.00,40.00,80.00,120.00 μmol/L]of the fist 2-generation(P2). According to the test results,1.00 μmol/L sodium arsenite was chosen to stimulate hFBMSCs for 14 weeks as experimental group,simultaneous 0 μmol/L sodium arsenite as the control group. And then,the phenotype was detected by fluorescence-activated cell sorting,and the cell cycle by flow cytometry. Finally,the cell malignant transformation was detected by soft-agar assay. Results Arsenite low than 10 μmol/L promoted cell proliferation,but inhibited cell proliferation when exceeding 10 μmol/L. Half of the lethal dose (LC_(50)) in experimental and control groups were (89.42±0.64),(52.48±0.71)μmol/L. The difference between two groups was statistically significant(t = 123.89,P < 0.05). The phenotype of CAsE-hFBMSCs was CD29,CD90,CD166 positive and CD34,CD45 negative. The phenotype of CAsE-hFBMSCs was the same as the control. Comparing to control group[(8.44±0.45)%,(9.14μ0.14)%,(82.42±0.60)%],G2/M phage[(17.72±5.47)%]and S phage [(25.34±3.36)%]cell increased,G0/G1 phage[(56.96±8.83)%]cell decreased in P2 CAsE-hFBMSCs. The cell cycle became nearly the same as the control group after adaption. CAsE-hFBMSCs did not show clone formation in soft agar clone formation assay. Conclusion Long last and low level exposure to arsenite does not influence the biologic features of hFBMSCs.
