Objective To explore the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in the etiology of drug eruption. Methods PCR-Southern blot was used to detect EBV-specific DNA fragment BamH I -W in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 32 patients with drug eruption and 30 age- and sex-matched normal controls. The mRNA expression of EBV lyric gene BZLF1 in EBV DNA-positive samples was measured by RT-PCR and Southern blot. ELISA was performed to detect EBV virus capsule antigen (VCA)-specific IgM. Results The positivity rate of EBV DNA was significantly higher in patients with drug eruption than in normal controls (78.13% (25/32) vs 10.00% (3/30), P < 0.01), while no significant difference was noted between patients with severe and mild drug eruption (P > 0.05). The expression of BZLF1 mRNA was detected in 3 out of 25 EBV DNA-positive patients; of the 3 patients, 1 suffered from mild drug eruption, and 2 from severe drug eruption. EBV VCA-specific IgM was observed in 6 of 32 patients with drug eruption, but not in any normal controls. No significant difference in the positivity rate of EBV VCA-specific lgM existed between patients with severe and mild drug eruption (P > 0.05). Conclusions There is an active infection of EBV in patients with drug eruption. EBV infection is probably an environmental factor affecting the development of drug eruption.

Objective To explore the effects of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on pancreatic function in diabetic rabbits. Methods Forty-eight rabbits were divided into 4 groups: control group (the group of N0, n=4), the group of T0 (n=4), the group of T10 (n=20), and the group of T15 (n=20). The animal used in the groups of T0, T10 and T15 was diabetic rabbit, and the pressures of pneumoperitoneum of the three groups were 0 mm Hg, 10 mm Hg and 15 mm Hg respectively.The model of diabetic rabbits were made through intrvenous administration of Allxon. Arterial blood samples were collected before the onset of CO2 pneumoperitoneum, 0, 2, 6, 12 hours after deflation for measuring blood glucose, amylase, insulin and C-peptid. Then the rabbits were sacrificed and their pancreases were removed for measuring SOD activity and MDA content. Results After abdominal deflation, the blood glucose, amylase, insulin, C-peptid, MDA content were significantly increased (P

Thirty cases of peripheral facial palsy were treated with the comprehensive therapy, and 30 cases of peripheral facial palsy were treated with shallow electro-acupuncture as control.

Objective To explore the role of MR imaging (MRI) in the differential diagnosis of pleural tumor. Methods Forty five cases of pleural tumor (8 benign and 37 malignant) were examined with both CT and MRI. The morphologic features of pleural lesions and MR signal intensity on T 1 weighted, T 2 weighted, and contrast enhanced T 1 weighted images were evaluated. Results On CT images, it was found that 30 cases were with diffuse pleural thickening (29 malignant and 1 benign), 28 with mediastinal pleural involvement (27 malignant and 1 benign), 23 with circumferential or irregular pleural thickening (22 malignant and 1 benign), and 9 with infiltration of the chest wall or diaphragm (only in malignant patients). On MR images, it was found that 32 cases were with diffuse pleural thickening (31 malignant and 1 benign), 29 with mediastinal pleural involvement (27 malignant and 2 benign), 24 with circumferential or irregular pleural thickening (23 malignant and 1 benign), and 11 with infiltration of the chest wall or diaphragm (only in malignant patients). According to the above mentioned morphologic features, CT had a sensitivity of 83.8% and a specificity of 62.5% in the detection of pleural malignancy, as compared to 86.5% and 62.5% by MRI, respectively. In combination with signal intensity and morphologic features, MRI had a sensitivity of 97.3% and aspecificity of 100% in the detection of pleural malignancy. Conclusion According to the morphological features only, MRI allowed a similar value in the detection and diagnosis of pleural tumor compare with CT. In combination with signal intensity and morphologic features, MRI is more useful and, therefore, superior to CT in differentiation of malignant from benign pleural tumor.

BACKGROUND: As a biochemical marker of cytoplasm, the increased activity of creatine kinase (CK) in human spermatozoa is correlated with both the residual cytoplasma and the ratio of sperm with abnormal func tion. It is a marker of mature sperm and associated with the potential of in semination. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the differences of CK activity in sperm and the relative contents of sperm CK-MM and CK-BB isoenzymes between normal fertile males and infertile males, and evaluate its significance in clinical diagnosis of male infertility. DESIGN: Case-control observation. SETTING: Laboratory of Biochemistry, Family Planning Research Insti tute of Sichuan Province. PARTICIPANTS: Ninety-four male infertile patients between January 1999 and October 2000 were selected from the Department of Family Planning Sciences of Sichuan Province, who had no aspermatism with their wives proved to be fertile. The average age of subjects were 31 years. Eighty subjects with the sperm count ＞ 2×1010 L-1 were taken as normal sperm group and 14 subjects with the sperm counts ＜ 2×1010 L-1 were considered as oligospermia group. Semen obtained from 27 healthy males who were normal in routine examinations and with children was taken as the healthy control group.METHODS: Semen sample collected by masturbation after abstinence of 3 to 5 days was incubated at 37 ℃ for liquefication and routinely analyzed.Total activity of CK in sperm was determined by using a kinetic spectrophotometry and the relative contents of CK isozyme was determined by agarose gel electrophoresis followed by density scanning of CK isozyme.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Sperm counts, percentages of viability and motility of sperm, total CK activity and the relative contents of CK-MM and CK-BB isozyme in spermatozoa.RESULTS: A total of 94 enrolled patients and 27 normal controls were involved in the analysis of results. ①Sperm counts, percentage of viability and motility in oligospermia group ( Ⅱ + Ⅲ, WHO method) were obviously lower than those in the healthy control group, and those in the normal sperm group, except the sperm counts, were remarkably lower than the healthy control group [the sperm counts in healthy control group, normal sperm group and oligospermia group was (6.05 ±0.81 )×1010 L-1, (7.76±1.37)×1010 L-1 and (1.46±0.19)×1010 L-1 respectively (P ＜ 0.01). The survival rate in healthy control group, normal sperm group and oligospermia group was 85.1%,56.8% and 58.2%, P ＜ 0.01, and the sperm motility was 62.9% ,34.6% and 29.5% respectively, P ＜ 0.01].②Total activity of sperm CK in oligospermia group was significantly higher than the healthy control group [respectively (9.000±6.117) and (1.933 ±0.943) kat/108 sperm,P＜ 0.05],although that in the normal sperm group (2.800±0.862) kat/108 sperm was a little higher than the healthy control group, while there were no significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).③The relative contents of sperm CK-MM isozyme in the normal sperm group and oligospermia group were obviously decreased (that in the healthy control group, normal sperm group and oligospermia group was 30.5%, 19.0% and 18.0% respectively,P ＜ 0.05), which implied a remarkable difference in sperm differentiation between healthy control group and the latter two groups.CONCLUSION: The determination of sperm CK is meaningful for the diagnosis and pathogenesis of oligospermia. More work should be done on the distribution of sperm CK-MM isozyme in different infertile population as well as its importance in the diagnosis of infertility.

Objective : To identify the factors affecting the adherence to administration of nucleoside/nucleotide analogues among patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), so as to provide insights into improving medication adherence among CHB patients. Methods: CHB patients at ages of 18 to 44 years that underwent treatment in Hangzhou First People's Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from June 2021 to December 2022 were enrolled, and subjects' demographic and clinical characteristics were collected. The medication adherence was evaluated with the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale, and the negative illness perception was evaluated using the simplified Illness Perception Questionnaire, while the social support level was evaluated with the Social Support Scale. In addition, factors affecting the medical adherence were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model among CHB patients. Results: A total of 225 questionnaires were allocated and 210 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 93.33%. The respondents had a mean age of (35.94±8.72) years, and included 119 men (56.67%) and 91 women (43.33%), with a mean total illness perception score of (44.09±12.06) points. Morisky Medication Adherence Scale classified good in 149 cases (70.95%) and poor in 61 cases (29.05%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified an educational level of college degree and above (OR=1.676, 95%CI: 1.105-2.910), family monthly per capita income of >5 000 Yuan (OR=2.518, 95%CI: 1.360-5.033), receiving health education pertaining to CHB (OR=3.590, 95%CI: 1.611- 7.932), high or medium level of social support (high: OR=3.202, 95%CI: 1.613-5.870; medium: OR=1.267, 95%CI: 1.085-2.409) as factors improving the medication adherence, and administration of more than 3 types of drugs (OR=0.388, 95%CI: 0.204-0.526) and high illness perception score (OR=0.601, 95%CI: 0.395-0.808) as factors constraining medication adherence among CHB patients. Conclusions The medication adherence are affected by educational level, family monthly per capita income, types of drugs, illness perception score, health education pertaining to CHB and social support level among CHB patients. Individualized intervention strategy is required targeting these influencing factors to improve the medication adherence among CHB patients.

0bjective To analyze the factors related tO the changes of liver pathology in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.Methods Two hundred and eighty-eight HBeAg negative CHB patients were enrolled.Bivariate Pearson correlation was employed to analyze the correlation of different age,gender,alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level,the immunohistochemistry results of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) in liver tissue with hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA level,changes of liver pathology.Results The inflammation grades and fibrosis stages of livertissuesinmale were 1.72±1.23 and 1.71±1.24,respectively;1.25±1.39 and 1.21±1.40 in female,respectively,which were significantly different (t=2.398,t-2.551;both P40 years old were all significantly higher than those<40 years old(t一2.060,t一2.536,t=2.808;all P<0.05).In patients with normal ALT levels,75 cases (52.03%) showed HBV DNA level≤1×103 copy/mL,56(38.89%) showed≥G2 of liver tissues; the ALT level and inflammation grade of liver tissues was significantly correlated(r:O.244,P-O.004).In patients with elevated ALT 1evels,42 cases (31.57%) showed HBV DNA level≤1×10s copy/mL,89 (66.92%) showed≥G2 of liver tissues; the ALT level and inflammation grade of liver tissues was not significantly correlated (r=0.007,P=0.939) .The inflammation/fibrosis of liver tissues,HBV DNA levels in patients with both HBsAg and HBcAg positive in liver tissues were significantly higher than those in other patients (P

Objective To investigate the effect of cholecystokinin (CCK) on colon motility and its mechanism in development of irritable bowel syndrome via recording ionic channels currents and contraction of guinea-pig proximal colon. Methods The guinea-pigs (body weight ranged from 200 g to 250 g) were deprived of food, but not water, for 12 hours before experiment. The animal was sacrificed and 6 cm of proximal colon was obtained. The contractile activity of isolated proximal colon in 1 × 10-7 ,5 × 10-7 or 1 × 10-6 mol/L of CCK-8 solution was recorded. The impact of 1 × 10-7 , 5 × 10-7 and 1 × 10-6 mol/L of CCK-8 and 1 × 10-6 mol/L CCK-8 nifidipin on current of calcium activated potassium channel (IBKac) was detected with an EPC-10 amplifier and an image analysis software.Results In comparison with blank [(0. 68 ±0. 12) g], the amplitude of colon contraction in 1 × 10-7 ,5×10-7 and 1×10-6 mol/L of CCK-8 was increased by (15. 0±1.5)%,(28. 0±1.4)%, and (36.0±1.6) %, respectively ( n = 7, P = 0. 023,0. 005 and 0. 01 ), but there was no significant change of frequency. When exogenous stimulation at +60 mV, the current of IBKac was enhanced to (117. 45 ± 3.60)%, (125.42± 5. 30)% or (136. 98±6. 80)% in 10-7 ,5 × 10-7 or 10-6 mol/L of CCK-8,respectively, compared with controls (n= 7, P＜0.01 ). However, after adding nifidipin, the current of IBKca was reduced to (102.23±5.60)% in 10-6mol/L of CCK-8 at +60 mV when compared with controls (n=7, P= 1. 491 ). Conclusion CCK enhances proximal colonic motility by increasing Ca2+ influx and IBKac current, which is characterized by enhancement of amplitude of contraction.
