Objective To explore the chest features of patients with the novel influenza type A H1N1 on HRCT. Methods One hundred and seventy-two chest HRCT examinations on 163 cases with Influenza type A H1N1 (9 cases were reexamed) were retrospectively analyzed using standard pulmonary window and mediastinal window, respectively. HRCT imaging appearances were summarized. Results Ninety-seven cases showed normal on chest HRCT, while the others showed abnormalities of parenchymal and interstitial. Among them, HRCT identified ground-glass opacity in 35 cases (53.0%), centrilobular nodules in 30 cases (45.5%), thickening of intralobular septa in 31 cases (47.0%), intralobular thin reticulation and micro-nodule in 8 cases (12.1%), single-lobular inflammation in 19 cases (28.8%), consolidation of lung(the large consolidation and multiple small consolidations)in 15 cases (22.7%), pulmonary atelectasis in 3 cases (4.5%), and irregular lines in 2 cases (3.0%). Pleurisy was also revealed including 8 cases with right pleurisy, 5 cases with left pleurisy, and 19 cases with bilateral pleurisy. Mediastinal and axillary lymphadenopathy were found in 7 cases, who were spared of pleural effusion. All above abnormalities resolved quickly after anti- virus treatment. Conclusion Parenchymal and interstitial abnormalities, mediastinum and axillary fossa lymphadenopathy, and pleural effusion were the common findings on HRCT in patients with Influenza type A H1N1, which were similar to those of other viral pneumonia.

Objective To evaluate the effects of total glucosides of paeony (TCP) on cell proliferation of and expression of VECF and IL-23 in human HaCaT keratinocytes and their potential mechanisms. Methods MTT assay was performed to detect the cell proliferation of HaCaT cells incubated with various concentrations (0.5 to 312.5 mg/L) of TGP. HaCaT cells were classified into 8 groups, control group without any treatment, TGP groups treated with 6 different concentrations of TGP, SB203580 group treated with TGP of 125 mg/L after 2-hour pretreatment with SB203580 of 10 μmol/L After additional culture, reverse transcription (RT)- PCR and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were conducted to determine the expression levels of VEGF and IL-23 mRNA and protein, Western blot to test the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in these cells. Results The proliferation of HaCaT cells was promoted by TGP of low concentrations (0.5 and 2.5 mg/L), but inhibited by TGP of equal to or more than 12.5 mg/L, and peaked at the concentration of 125 mg/L. TGP of 0.5 and 2.5 mg/L enhanced the mRNA and protein expressions of VEGF and IL-23, while TGP of 12.5 to 125 mg/L suppressed the expression of VEGF mRNA and protein, and TGP of 62.5 to 125 mg/L downregulated the expression of IL-23 mRNA and protein. The phosphorylation of p38 protein kinase in HaCaT cells was induced by TGP of 125 mg/L in a time-dependant manner. Concretely, the level of phosphorylated p38 kinase in HaCaT cells was 0.3314 ± 0.0245 (peak) at 5 minutes, decreased to 0.2173 ± 0.0189 at 10 minutes (still statistically higher than untreated HaCaT cells) and 0.1664 ± 0.0201 at 30 minutes after treatment with TGP of 125 mg/L. SB203580 attenuated the effect of TGP on p38 phosphorylation, and the level of phosphorylated p38 kinase was 0.1529 ±0.0147 in HaCaT cells pretreated with SB203580 prior to the treatment with TGP. Conclusion TGP can inhibit the cell proliferation of and expressions of VEGF and IL-23 mRNA and protein in HaCaT cells, likely mediated by the p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

28 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by 2009 H1N1 influenza were mechanically ventilated for 1 hour in the supine, lateral, semi-supine, lateral prone, and prone position respectively. Changes of heart rate, respiratory parameters and arterial partial pressure of oxygen ( PaO2 )were measured. There were no significant differences ( P > 0. 05 ) of heart rate and mean arterial pressure among these postures. Lateral prone ( P < 0. 05 ) and prone posture ( P < 0. 01 ) , however, can both significantly improve tidal volume, mean airway pressure, PaO2, static lung compliance and oxygenation index. We concluded that mechanical ventilation delivered in the prone position can remarkably improve oxygenation in patients with H1N1 influenza-associated acute lung injury.

Combined with the five Zang Yin-Yang theory, to discuss the spinal marrow and cerebral Yin Yang state. As the internal organs, we believe that the spinal marrow and cerebral are substantial Yin and functional Yang. Further we can diagnose and treat the cerebral and spinal marrow injury related diseases. In the clinical therapy of acute and chronic cerebral and spinal marrow diseases, we should maintain the substantial Yin by avoiding injury, preventing spinal degeneration and maintaining the blood supply; and we should adjusting the functional Yang by nourishing the blood and promoting blood circulation, calming the liver to stop the wind, keep Yin and Weiqi in balance, tonifying the spleen and kidney etc. From the author's experience ,the patient with acute cerebral and spinal marrow injury diseases should be treated by regulating lung, liver, spleen and kidney to remove the wet water and purge the fire;the patient with chronic cerebral and spinal marrow injury diseases should be treated by regulating heart, liver, spleen and kidney to enhance Yang and nourish Yin.

Objective To explore the risk factors of collapse of osteonecro si s of the femoral head (ONFH) with a retrospective study, and put forward a treat ment protocol according to this study results. Methods From October 1993 to Apri l 2000, 40 cases (56 hips) were followed-up. The term of follow-up ranged from 1 2 to 68 months (average 29.2 months). The age of patients was from 16 to 60 year s old (average 36.8 years old). Preoperatively, the AP and frog view X-ray film, coronal and sagittal MRI were taken. The staging of ONFH proposed by ARCO was a dopted. Clinically the Harris score was used to assess the clinical outcome. The patients were divided into three groups: 1) Non-operative: 10 cases (14 hips), stage Ⅰin 7 hips(ⅠA 4,ⅠC 3),stageⅡin 7 hips (ⅡA 1,ⅡB 3,ⅡC 3); 2) Core dec ompression with vascularized iliac bone graft (VICBG): 18 cases (24 hips ), stag eⅠin 6 hips (ⅠB 4,ⅠC 2), stageⅡin 16 hips (ⅡA 4,ⅡB 8,ⅡC 4), stageⅢ in 2 hips (ⅢA); 3) Transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy(TRO): 12 cases (18 hips), stageⅡin 1 hip (ⅡC), stageⅢ in 17 hips (ⅢA 8, ⅢB 7,ⅢC 2). Harris score was 46 to 82 (mean 62.9). Results Collapse of the femoral head occurred in 9 hips a mong the 14 hips in the nonoperative group, in 10 hips among the 24 hips in the VICBG group. In TRO group, further deterioration was prevented in all but one hi p. Whether theres surgical intervention or not, no collapse occurred in both s tageⅠA and ⅡA, collapse occurred in both stage ⅠB and ⅡB was 7 hips among 15 hips (46.7%), 13 hips progressed into collapse of the femoral head with ⅠC and ⅡC (100%). The Harris score was 47 to 93(mean 77.4) postoperatively. Conclusio n With MR imaging, it is possible to predict the possibility of collapse of ONFH . The lower risk is below 30 percent of necrotic area, the higher risk is 30 to 60 percent of necrotic area, and the higherest risk is beyond 60 percent of necr otic area. The best results can be obtained if selection of treatment individual ly according to ARCO stage, patient age and necrotic extent.

Objective To analyze rick factors for postoperative recurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax surgery. Methods The clinic characteristics of 1128 patients who received spontaneous pneumothorax surgery in Tianjin Chest Hospital were collected from January 2009 to March 2015. The relationship between clinic characteristics and the pulmonary bullae was analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors affecting the postoperative relapse of spontaneous pneumothorax. Results The pulmonary bullae were found in 877 patients of 1128 during the operation. The incidence of pulmonary bullae was significantly high in patients with age below 25 years compared with patients over 25 years (P<0.05). The duration of surgery was significantly longer in patients with pulmonary bullae compared with that of patients without pulmonary bullae (P<0.05). Postoperative recurrence occurred in 21 cases, with a recurrence rate of 1.86%. Logistic regression analysis showed that pulmonary bullae, pleurodesis without pleura friction, delayed drainage duration (> 3 d) were independent risk factors of postoperative recurrence for spontaneous pneumothorax (P<0.05). Conclusion Pulmonary bullae, pleurodesis without pleura friction and delayed drainage duration are risk factors of postoperative recurrence for spontaneous pneumothorax, which should be paid more attention in clinic.
