Objective To analyse effect of different dose of sustained-release theophyline on prealbumin, C-reactive protein and white blood cell count in patients with pediatric asthma.Methods 58 children with acute asthma attack in our hospital were collected.All children were randomly divided into high dose group and low dose group,29 cases in each group.On the basis of conventional treatment, high dose group were treated with high dose theophylline sustained release tablets 5 mg/kg, one times per eight hours,orally,and low dose group was treated with low dose theophylline sustained release tablets,2 mg/kg, one times per eight hours,orally.Two groups were treatment for two weeks.After the treatment, the serum levels of pre albumin, C-reactive protein and veinal blood level of white blood cell count were detected in all children.Results Compared with high dose group post-treatment, the serum level PA was higher in low dose group (P<0.05);the serum level of CRP was lower in low dose group (P<0.05);the veinal blood level of WBC, percentage of neutrophils and percentage of eosinophils was lower in low dose group (P<0.05) .Conclusion Compared with high dose of sustained-release theophyline,the low dose of sustained-release theophyline can significantly reduce the serum CRP level and veinal blood level of WBC, percentage of neutrophils and percentage of eosinophils, improve serum PA level in patients with pediatric asthma, reduce inflammation in patients.

Objective To compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods.Methods Thirty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:normal control group,OVA group and OVA/RSV group.With ovalbumin and hydroxide suspension sensitized,OVA nouse asthma model group and OVA/RSV group were established respectively by continuous atomization of ovalbumin and repeated nasal drops of RSV.The control group was established by sensitization and atomization excitation of sterile injection water.24 hours after the last stimulation,the lung function was measured.The cell sorting and counting in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were performed.The pathological changes of lung tissue were observed by HE staining.Results Compared with the control group,the model groups have obvious symptoms of asthma,airway wall thickening,lumen stenosis and a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration.And pathological damage of lung tissue in OVA/RSV group was significantly increased,compared with OVA group.The enhanced expiratory pause (Penh)values of OVA/RSV group were significantly higher than those in group OVA (P ＜ 0.05),and the number of neutrophils,monocytes,lymphocytes and eosinophils in BALF were significantly higher than those in OVA group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The establishment of asthma mouse model by OVA sensitization and RSV induction is a better way to simulate the human asthma pathogenesis.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAE) isolated from clinical specimen and provide the guidance for the clinical treatment. METHODS The P. aeruginosas infection status from Jun 2005 to Dec 2007 was reviewed retrospectively,and the results of susceptibility test in 286 strains of PAE were analyzed. RESULTS The drug-resistance rates to gentamicin,cefotaxime,and ceftriaxone in PAE were all above 60.0%,and that to cefoperazone/sulbactam,piperacillin/tazobactam sodium,amikacin and levofloxacin showing all higher sensitivity. The resistance rates to meropenem and imipenem were 17.1% and 18.5%,respectively. CONCLUSIONS P. aeruginosa is one of the main pathogenic bacteria in nosocomial infection. It's very important to strengthen the monitoring of drug-resistance of PAE and rationally antibiotics usage.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the resistance of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) and the occurrence of gene erm.METHODS ATB Staph and microdilute tests were performed to detect the susceptibility to 15 kinds of antibiotics in 50 strains of the S.aureus(SAU).Gene erm of these strains was detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).RESULTS There were no strains resistant to vancomycin,teicoplanin,fusidic acid and quinupristin-dalfopristin in 42 strains of MRSA detected.There were no strains sensitive to penicillin,oxacillin,gentamicin,tetracycline,ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin.Thirty-five strains habored gene erm in 42 strains of MRSA.The positive rate of gene erm was 83.3%.CONCLUSIONS The multiple-resistance of the MRSA is a serious issue.The resistance to erythromycin in MRSA is mediated by gene erm which encodes the methylase and changes the target site of drug action.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and survival status of mucosal melanoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses and to analyze the prognostic factors.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 94 patients with mucosal melanoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses treated from January 2000 to December 2012.Of the 94 patients,50 were male,and 44 were female.The median age of onset was 60 years (range,26-85 years).The primary sites were nasal cavity (86 patients),maxillary sinus (7 patients),and nasopharynx (1 patient).Cervical lymph node metastasis was observed in 10 patients (7 patients before treatment,2 patients during treatment,and 1 patient after treatment).No patient had distant metastasis.Patients were treated with surgery ± radiotherapy.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates,and the logrank test was used for univariate prognostic analysis;the Cox regression model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis.Results The 1-,3-,and 5-year sample sizes were 80,54,and 50,respectively.The 1-,3-,and 5-year disease-related survival rates were 71％,33％,and 22％,respectively.Univariate analysis showed that the prognostic factors were age over 55 years (P =0.034),involvement of the posterior naris (P =0.011),involvement of the maxillary sinus (P =0.009),involvement of the hard palate (P =0.003),cervical lymph node metastasis (P =0.001),and therapeutic method (P =0.038).Multivariate analysis showed that the prognostic factors were involvement of the posterior naris (P =0.027),involvement of the orbit (P =0.005),and involvement of the hard palate (P =0.003).Conclusions The distant metastasis and local recurrence rates are high among patients with mucosal melanoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses,so combination therapy is imperative.Cervical lymph node metastasis rate is low.Rational clinical staging needs to be further explored.

Objective To explore the causes of ambiguous genitalia.Methods Clinical data of 106 cases with ambiguous genitalia from Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed.DNA fragments of related genes from parts of patients were amplified by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and were directly sequenced to detect gene mutations.Results (1)The 106 ambiguous genitalia patients presented a variety of clinical phenotypes.Karyotype of 42 cases(39.6％)were 46,XX,while 62 cases(58.5％)were 46,XY and 2 cases(1.9％)were abnormal.(2)Forty(95.2％)patients with 46,XX were diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia(CAH) ;one case(2.4％) was adrenal cortical tumor and one case (2.4％) was 46,XX [sex determining region of Y choromosome (SRY) positive] male syndrome.(3) Fifty-three cases (85.5 ％) out of 46,XY karyotype were directly sequenced with steroid-5-alpha-reductase,alpha polypeptide 2 gene (SRD5A2),androgen receptor gene (AR) and steroidogenic factor-1 gene(SF-1).Sequencing analysis of SRD5A2 revealed 8 patients with compound heterozygous or homozygous mutations.A patient carried a novel missense mutation of SF-1 and another patient had a mutation of AR.(4) One abnormal karyotype was 46,XX/46,XY and the other was 46,XX/46,XY/46,X.+ may.ish (DYZ3 +) (DXZ1-).Conclusions (1) CAH is the most common cause of genital ambiguity in 46,XX patients but some rare causes such as adrenal cortical tumors or SRY positive should not be ignored.(2) To find the causes of 46,XY genital ambiguity,direct DNA sequencing analysis of candidate genes would be the better choice because of the complicate pathogenesis.(3)Abnormal karyotype also can lead to ambiguous genitalia.

Objective:To compare epidemic characteristics between severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Methods:The general information, including epidemiological and clinical data of the confirmed cases during the epidemic period of the two infectious diseases was collected.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of smoking network among smokers in Kunming smoking cessation outpatient service.Methods:A multicenter, cross-sectional study was carried out, and smoking cessation outpatients from 8 tertiary hospitals (the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Yan′an Hospital, Ganmei Hospital, the 920 Hospital of the Chinese People′s Liberation Army Joint Logistic Support Force, Kunming First People′s Hospital, the First People′s Hospital of Yunnan Province and the Second People′s Hospital of Yunnan Province) in Kunming, Yunnan Province were included to receive a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire mainly consisted of four parts: (1) demographic characteristics of smokers; (2) the specific situation of smoking; (3) social support network; (4) smoking network. A total of 360 questionnaires were distributed in this survey, 351 were recovered, and 351 were valid, the collected data from valid questionnaire were statistically analyzed to analyze the social demographic characteristics, smoking status and smoking network characteristics of smokers.Results:In this survey, the demographic characteristics of the 351 patients in the smoking cessation clinic were as follows: there were 342 male cases (97.4%), 249 cases (70.9%) were Han, 233 patients (66.4%) were non-religious, there were 236 cases (67.2%) with college degree or above, and 51 cases (14.5%) were unemployed. The analysis of smoking status showed that 167 patients (47.6%) maintained daily smoking, 247 patients (70.4%) had plans to quit smoking, at least one parent of 258 patients (73.5%) had a history of smoking, 188 patients (53.6 %) smoked at home. In the smoking network of the surveyed patients, there were 304 patients (86.6%) who smoked together with two or more people, and more than 90 percent of the patients smoked with the same sex.Conclusions:The smoking network of patients in Kunming smoking cessation clinic is small, and a third of smokers are friends. It is suggested to use the characteristics of smoking network to carry out smoking cessation intervention activities, so as to improve the success rate of smoking cessation.

Objective To develop and explore the clinical application effect of orthopedic protective trestle for post-operative patients with lower limb fracture.Methods Totally 60 patients with lower limb fracture that hospitalized in Osteopathic Department from March to June 2015 were randomly divided into the observation group(n=30) and the control group(n=30). Patients in the control group were given Thomas trestle for the fixation while patients in the observation group were given orthopedic protective trestle for the fixation. The pain score, average hospitalization days and patients′satisfaction degree in two groups were compared. Results The pain score of patients in the observation group after 48 h was (3.50±0.63) points, which was significantly lower than the score in the control group (5.53±0.82) points (t=10.78,P<0.05);the average hospitalization days in the observation group was (16.47±2.68) d, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (22.47± 7.32) d (t=4.22,P<0.05);the satisfaction score of patients in the observation group was (8.80±0.61) points, which was significantly higher than the score in the control group (6.93±1.36) points (t=-6.85,P<0.05). Conclusions Orthopedic protective trestle for patients with lower limb fracture can relieve the pain of patients, reduce the length of average hospitalization days and improve the satisfaction of patients.
