ObjectiveTo observe the curative effect of sensory integration training on children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods60 ADHD children were randomly divided into trial group and control group with 30 cases in each group. Children in trial group were treated with sensory integration training besides routine medication, and assessed with Scale for Assessment of Attention Sensory Integration after treatment.ResultsAfter treatment, scores of large muscle dis-equilibrium and ill-proprioception increased obviously (P<0.01) ; scores of improper tactile defense and insufficient development of learning ability also increased (P<0.05) compared with pretreatment. The curative effect of trial group was better than that of control group (P<0.05 ).ConclusionOn the basis of medication, sensory integration training can improve the rehabilitation effect of ADHD children.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of digital auditory activation and touching intervention on infants with cerebral dysfunction.Methods388 infants with perinatal high-risk factors and abnormal result of Denver Development Screening Test (DDST) were randomly divided into group A (n=135), group B (n=128) and group C (n=125), and treated with digital auditory activation combined with touching (group A), simple touching (group B) and simple drug (group C) with 10 days as a course. All infants were tested with DDST after one therapeutic course, and tested again with DDST after the infants of group B and group C treated continuously for six therapeutic courses; and all infants were assessed with the Gesell development quotient (DQ) after six months.ResultsAfter one therapeutic course, normal rate of DDST was 71.11% in group A, 26.69% in group B and 20.00% in group C. After six therapeutic courses, that was 90.37 % in group A, 62.50 in group B and 40.00% in group C. After six months, the children with the Gesell DQ over 86 scores was 125 (92.60%) in group A, 90 (70.31%) in group B and 62 (49.60%) in group C. There were significant differences among three groups ( P<0.01).ConclusionThe digital auditory activation combined with touching has short therapeutic course and high efficacy, so it is a good therapeutic method for infants with cerebral dysfunction.

In this study, nattokinase gene was amplified by PCR using bacillus subtilis chromosomal DNA as template and cloned into expressed vector pBV220. After transforming recombinant plasmid into E.coli HB101, the recombinant strain was yielded. It was proved that expression products was secretive and expression protein was 12% of total cell protein by SDS-PAGE. Optimum culture time and inducing time was determined as 6h and 5h respectively. The plasmid stability studies showed that recombinant plasmid has excellent segregational stability but the structural stability was not good in the host cell.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin antibodies (anti-MCV) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and compare it with anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP), rheumatoid factors (RF). Methods Commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit was used to detect anti-MCV antibodies in a group of 177 RA patients, 46 patients with other rheumatic diseases, and 48 healthy blood donors. At the same time, anti-CCP, RF were detected. T test and χ2 test were selected. Results The average concentration of anti-MCV was (523±376) U/ml in RA, (96± 55) U/ml in patients with other rheumatic diseases, (34±18) U/ml in healthy controls. Different threshold levels (20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 U/ml) for positive results were calculated bythe areas under the ROC curve (the areas were 0.521, 0.706, 0.769, 0.791, 0.816, 0.826, 0.822), then the best diagnosis efficacy for RA was determined as more than 120 U/ml. At this level, the sensitivity and the specificity for anti-MCV were 80.1% and 80.9% for RA diagnosis. The positive and negative predictive value were 92% and 67.8%. Comparing with anti-CCP, anti-MCV showed comparable specificity but higher sensitivity. And it's also better than RF apparently. If all 3 antibodies were detected at the same time, or anti-MCV combine with one of them, the sensitivity would increase to 95.7%. In addition, Anti-MCV showed positive in 32 of 67(55.2%) patients with RA whose anti-CCP was negative, meanwhile 31 of 59 (52.5%) patients with RA whose RF was negative. Conclusion RF and anti-CCP are complementary in diagnosing RA. The combination detection of RF and anti-CCP could significantly improve the specificity for the diagnosis of RA.

Objective To evaluate the influence of atopy on exhaled nitric oxide in chronic persistent asthmatic children. Methods A total of 52 chronic persistent asthmatic children who completed FeNO measurements and skin prick testing were enrolled. Patients were divided into non-atopic group and atopic group by skin prick testing results, and subdivided into non-allergic rhinitis and rhinitis group according to whether combined with allergic rhinitis. At the same time 78 healthy children were chosen as control group. Moreover, 32 chronic persistent asthmatic children who completed FeNO measurements twice interval of three months were enrolled. Results The FeNO level was signiifcantly different among the atopic group (n=40), the non-atopic group (n=12) and the control group (H=33.29, P=0.000);The FeNO level was signiifcantly higher in the atopic group than that in the non-atopic group (P<0.05). And the FeNO level were signiifcantly different among the rhinitis group (n=41), the non-rhinitis group (n=11) and the control group (H=30.63, P=0.000). The FeNO level was signiifcantly higher in the rhinitis group than that in the control group (P<0.05), however there were no difference between the rhinitis group and the non-rhinitis group(P>0.05).There were no correlations between FeNO levels of chronic persistent asthmatic children and the wheal diameter of house dust mites or dust mites (r=2.05, P=0.135;r=1.58, P=0.312). Moreover, the FeNO level was signiifcantly lower after 3 months ICS treatment (z=-2.05, P=0.041). Conclusions Atopy had major inlfuence on the FeNO level of chronic persistent asthmatic children, and the FeNO level declined with the theatment of ICS.

Objective To measure serum surfactant protein (SP) A and D levels in patients with interstitial lung disease associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods Serum SP-A and SP-D levels of RA,RA-ILD patients and healthy controls were assessed using a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The relationship between SP-A and SP-D and RA-ILD was analyzed.The serum SP-A and SP-Dpositive rate was calculated for the three groups.The correlation between SP-A and SP-D with RF,anti-CCP,antinuclear antibody,antikeratin antibody,anti-perinuclear factor,C-reactive protein,erythrocyte sedimentation rate,were analyzed.Mean value of groups were compared with variance analysis,Spearmam rank correlation test was used for correlation analysis.Results The levels of serum SP-A in RA-ILD patients and RA patients as well as in healthy controls were [ (51.2±9.2),(25.9±2.6),( 15A±0.3 ) μg/L] respectively.The level of serum SP-D of the three groups was [ ( 42.5 ±8.1 ),(20.8 ± 1.5 ),( 16.6±0.8 ) μg/L ] respectively.The levels of serum SP-A and SP-D in patients with RA complicated with ILD were higher than those simple RA patients and healthy controls (P＜0.05).The levels of serum SP-A and SP-D in patients with RA were not significantly higher than those in healthy controls (P＞0.05).The positive rate of serum SP-A and SP-D in RA-ILD patients were significantly higher than those in simple RA patients and healthy controls.The positive rate of serum SP-D of RA-ILD patients was higher than that of SP-A.The levels of serum SP-A and SP-D in patients with RA complicated with ILD were correlated positively with age,C-reactive protein.The level of serum SP-D was correlated positively with RF,anti-CCP,antikeratin antibody.There was no correlation between the level of serum SP-A and SP-D with RA-ILD and antinuclear antibody,antiperinuclear factor,erythrocyte sedimentation rate.Conclusion The levels of serum SP-A and SP-D are correlated with RA-ILD and may be useful markers for ILD in patients with RA.These two paramenters may be helpful to early diagnosis of RA-ILD.The Serum SP-D levels are more sensitive in predicting the development of RA-ILD than other parameters and can help in assessing the severity of lung damage.

Objective To study the changes of Th17 cell, regulatory T cell (Treg) and interleukin (IL)-6 in the peripheral blood of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and their relationship with disease activity. Methods Percentage of Th17 and Treg in the peripheral blood of 103 patients with SLE and 28 healthy volunteers were detected by flow cytometry. The concentration of IL-6 in SLE patients and healthy volunteers was detected by cytometric bead array (CBA). The disease activity of SLE was measured by SLEDAI. SLE patients were divided into two groups: stable SLE (SLEDAI≤ 9, n=37) and active SLE (SLEDAI＞9, n= 66). The change of Th17, Treg, IL -6 and their relationship with disease activity were analyzed. Nonparamentric tests, t -test and spearman correlation were used for statistical analysis. Results The percentage of Th17 cells and the concentration of IL-6 in the peripheral blood in patients with SLE was higher than that in normal controls [respectively for (1.2±1.1)%, (35±92) pg/ml and (0.6±0.4)%, (6±3) pg/ml, P＜0.05]. However, the percentage of Treg in patients with SLE was lower than that in normal controls [respectively for (1.6±1.2)%,(2.6±1.8)%, P＜0.05]. The percentage of Th17, Th17/Treg IL-6 level in active SLE patients was higher than those in inactive SLE and those in normal controls (P＜0.05). However, the percentage of Treg in active SLE was lower than that in stable SLE patients and that in normal controls (P＜ 0.05). The percentage of Th17, Th17/Treg and concentration of IL-6 was positively correlated to disease activity(P＜0.05). But the percentage of Treg had negative correlation with the percentage of Th17 and disease activity (P＜0.05). Conclusion Th17, Treg and serum IL-6 in SLE patients are abnormal and they maybe contribute to the pathogenesis of SLE.

To explore the action target of praziquantel (PZQ) and its underlying mechanism of action, adult male worms of Schistosoma japonicum were collected from the hepatic vein of Kunming mice infected at least 6 or more weeks previously with single-sex cercariae of S.japonicum by perfusion method. These worms were subjected to the action of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) or actin depolymerizing/stabilizing agents interfering with function of the calcium channel. The adult male worms in DMEM culture medium were co-cultivated with near-lethal dose of PZQ(14 μmol/L) overnight(16 hours).Then, the parasites were washed 3 times with sterile physiologic saline next morning after cultivation, re-suspended in new and drug-free medium and then observed under stereo-microscopy during the following 5 days. The experimental results showed that majority of adult male worms of S.japonicum were killed by the action of PZQ in a dose of 14 μmol/L in vitro under normal condition; while the worms pre-incubated with the actin depolymerizing agent cyto chalasin D (CyD) were able to survive in the condition containing 14 μmol/L of PZQ with a survival rate of 100%, and the worms pre-incubted with CCBs, such as nitrendipine and nifedipineu showed a survival rate of about 50% under the same condition. The results of this study suggest that the calcium channel of Schistosomes may be involved in the action target of PZQ and its underlying mechanism.

Objective To investigate the iodine nutritional status of targeted population in the high-risk areas of iodine deficiency disorders in Chongqing, so as to provide scientific evidence for establishing prevention and remedial measures. Methods Six towns were selected in Chengkou and Wuxi Counties to found suspected dementia patients born after first Jan, 1997. Two hundred children aged 8-10 years were investigated in every town. The thyroid volume, intelligence quotient(IQ) and urinary iodine of the children were examined. Forty women (pregnant and nursing women) were investigated in every town. The iodine content of salt from their home was measured. The thyroid volume was examined by palpation and B-uhrasound. IQ was measured by combined Raven Test in China(CRT-RC2). Urinary iodine was determined using the acid digest arsenic-cerium contacting method, and iodined salt was detected using direct titration method. Results Six suspected dementia patients were found in the local town hospital. Five eases were excluded. There was 1 case born in other place. The rates of goiter by palpation and B-ultrasound were 9.58%(92/960) and 8.89%(65/731), respectively. The median of urinary iodine of children and women was 319.15 μg/L and 248.42 μg/L, respectively. The mean of IQ of the children was 103.32. The coverage rate of iodine salt from residents was 98.82%(336/340). Conclusions The iodine nutrition of children was good and there is no newly occurred cretinism in Chengkou and Wuxi Counties. Goiter rate and median of urinary iodine aged 8-10 years and of women, coverage rate of iodine salt from resident has meet the standard set for basical elimination iodine deficiency disorders.
