Objective To approach therapy of acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) complicating acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in children.Methods The therapy of seven children diagnosed as ALL complicating ARDS was analyzed, who were treated by anti-infection, methyllprednisolone, ambroxol and constant positive airway pressure (CPAP) assisted ventilation.Results Six cases were recovery and one was death. The cure rate was 85.7%. Conclusion The cure rate is high, when employing combined therapy to treat ALL complicating ARDS.

Objective To investigate the variational regularity of cardiac function in the early term infants.Methods Dynamic change of cardiac function was monitored by color Doppler echocardiography from the 1st day to 7th day after birth in the term infants,the indexes including blood-pumping function and flow rate of all valve orifices.Results Left ventricular ejection fraction appeared to be no difference during the first 3 days after birth.it gradually increased on the 5th and 1st days,while it was obviously higher on the 6th and 7th days than that of the first 3 days(P0.05).Conclusions Blood-pumping function of left ventricle gradually increases with days in the 1st week after birth.it attains to the maximum on the 6th and 7th days.The AV and PV gradually increase in the 1st week,too.Diastolic function of right ventricle is mature step by step.

Objective:To establish a model for the study of tooth initiation and early development by in vitro culture of mouse mandibular arch . Methods:42 mandibular arches of 11dpc fatal mouse were dissected and cultured in Trowell organ culture system for 11 days.Regular histologic observation was performed to observe the initiation and development of tooth.Results: Mandibular arches grew well in Trowell culture system.The initiation and early development of tooth was found.The explants maintained to cap stage.On day 11,necrosis of the cultured mandibular arches was observed and the culture was ended. Conclusion:In vitro cultured mandibular arch can be used as a model for the study of tooth initiation and early development.

1.0 mmol/L).The clinical side effects after medication circa were compared between two groups.Results There was no significant difference in myelosuppression,liver functional lesion,gastrointestinal tract reaction and infection in 2 groups.But following the increase of MTX blood drug level,the incidence rate of skin mucosa contamination,electrocardiographic abnormality,the cardiac creatase abnormity and nervous system symptoms significantly increased.Conclusions In the course of child ALL treatment with HD-MTX+CF,the side effects are common and individual difference is obvious.Specific treatment on individuals is suggested.J Appl Clin Pediatr,2006,21(3):170-171

OBJECTIVE To review and analyze the change in the MICs of vancomycin,teicoplanin and linezolid in meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) strains isolated in our hospital from 2003 to 2007. METHODS The MICs of vancomycin,teicoplanin and linezolid were tested by Etest method on a sample of randomly selected MRSA strains. RESULTS The incidences of MRSA increased from 52.2% in 2003 to 74.5% in 2007.MIC of vancomycin increased from 1.85 ?g/ml in 2003 to 2.15 ?g/ml in 2007,and teicoplanin MIC geometric mean increased even more markedly from 1.28 ?g/ml in 2003 to 2.07 ?g/ml in 2007.The linezolid MIC remained almost unchanged. CONCLUSIONS The incidences of MRSA were increasing from 2003 to 2007.There is a upward trend in MIC of glycopeptide over the years,in which the increase for teicoplanin is higher than others two.

Objective To assess the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at different frequencies on behavioral and psychological symptoms and cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer's disease.Methods Seventy-two patients were randomly divided into a high frequency group,a low frequency group and a control group (n =24 for each),and given 10 Hz,1 Hz or sham rTMS over the left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex at an intensity was 80％ of each patient's movement threshold.The stimulation was for 30 min a day,five days a week.During the 4 weeks of treatment,risperidone was used at a fixed dose of 1 mg per day for all patients.Before and after the treatment,all 3 groups were assessed using the behavioral pathology in Alzheimer's disease rating scale (BEHAVE-AD) and the mini-mental state examination (MMSE).Results Two weeks after the treatment,the average BEHAVE-AD score of the high frequency group had decreased significantly from (16.75±6.26) to (13.84± 6.10),significantly lower than the low frequency and the control groups' averages.Two weeks later,the average BEHAVE-AD scores of the 3 groups were significantly lower than before the treatment,but the decrease of the high frequency group was of significantly greater compared to the other 2 groups.Four weeks after the treatment the average MMSE score of the high frequency group was significantly better than before the treatment (P＜0.01),and better than the low frequency and the control group's averages.The effectiveness rates of the high frequency group,the low frequency group and the control group were 88％,58％ and 54％ respectively,all significantly different.Conclusion High frequency (10 Hz) rTMS combined with risperidone can improve the behavioral and psychological symptoms and cognitive function of AD patients,while low frequency (1Hz) rTMS does not have obvious effects.

Objective To investigate the influence of alprostadil on renal function,oxidative stress,and immune function in early diabetic nephropathy patients.Methods Eighty-six cases of early diabetic nephropathy patients in our hospital during April 2013 to January 2016 were chosen as research subjects,all patients were divided into observation (n =43) and control (n =43) groups according to random data form.Patients in observation group received alprostadil combined with pioglitazone treatment and those in control group received pioglitazone treatment only,both lasted for one month.Before treatment,one month after treatment,renal function indices were detected;serum oxidative stress indices were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer;T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood were measured by flow cytometry.Results Before treatment,there were no significant differences in renal function,oxidative stress,immune function between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).One month after treatment,peripheral blood renal function indices such as blood urea nitrogen (BUN),estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),and cystatin C (CysC) levels were lower in observation group than in control group,the level of serum albumin (Alb) was higher in observation group than in control group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05);semm oxidation indices malondialdehyde (MDA),and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) were lower in observation group than in control group,human antioxidant indices such as superoxide dismutase (SOD),and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) were higher in observation group than in control group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05);peripheral blood CD3 +,CD4 + T lymphocytes and the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + were higher in observation group than in control group,CD8 +T lymphocyte level was lower in observation group than in control group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Alprostadil can optimize the renal function and immune function in early diabetic nephropathy patients,reduce the degree of oxidative stress.

Objective To investigate the effects of dibutylphthalate (DBP) on the proliferation and apoptosis of HL-60 leukemic cells and to study its mechanism to purge leukemic cells.Methods The effects of DBP on proliferation of HL-60 leukemic cells were measured by cell culture method. The effects on apoptosis were measured by the percentage of the apoptotic cells in morphology and of the DNA fragmentation and by DNA gel electrophoresis. The intracellular free Ca~(2+) concentration ([Ca~(2+)]i) of leukemic cells were measured by Fura-2AM method. The protein expressions of c-myc and bcl-2 genes of leukemic cells were measured by immunohistochemical assay.Results DBP could suppress the proliferation of HL-60 leukemic cells in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner and induce them to die via apoptosis.It could elicit a intracellular Ca~(2+) redistribution and a potent extracellular calcium influx. It also down-regulated the protein expressions of c-myc and bcl-2 genes of HL-60 leukemic cells.Conclusion DBP can purge (HL-60) leukemic cells in vitro by increasing [Ca~(2+)]i of cells to initiate apoptosis and down-regulating bcl-2 and c-myc proto-gene expressions to promote cell apoptosis.
