Objective To observe the effect of nine respiratory tract infection pathogen IgM antibodies test,and guiding signifi-cance of treatment.Methods A total of 1 000 children who had respiratory tract infection were collected in this study.Children se-rum were analyzed with detection reagent of nine respiratory tract infection IgM antibody pathogen and ILF,respectively.Compa-ring the results of two methods,the accuracy of nine respiratory tract infection pathogen IgM antibody was analyzed and observed its guidance to treatment.Results Two measures have close result.917 children in 1 000 cases recover quickly through symptomat-ic treatment.21 children choked and 2 of them died because of multiple organ failure.62 children Improved and left hospital through long time treatment.Conclusion Nine respiratory tract infection pathogen IgM antibody test can detect multiple pathogens quickly with high specificity.and it suits Basic level hospital with positive social and economic benefits.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of serum procalcitonin ,C‐reactive protein and white blood cell count in children with different diseases .Methods Retrospective analysis 94 cases of pathogenic infectious children from June 2013 to May 2014 in our hospital ,according to the results of pathogen detection was divided into bacterial infection 36 cases ,mycoplasma infec‐tion group 28 cases ,30 cases of viral infection ,detection and analysis serum PCT ,CRP and WBC levels .Results Bacterial infection group serum PCT ,CRP and WBC were (2 .41 ± 0 .94)ng/mL ,(47 .91 ± 18 .26)mg/L and (13 .18 ± 6 .03) × 109/L ,significantly higher than the mycoplasma infection and viral infection group (F=133 .4 ,F=60 .1 ,F=8 .5 ,P<0 .05);diagnosis of bacterial in‐fections ,PCT sensitivity and specificity were 92 .11% and 91 .05% ,positive and negative predictive value of 89 .84 % and 94 .01%were significantly higher than CPR and WBC ,Mycoplasma infection as the control group ,PCT ,CRP and WBC in the diagnosis of bacterial infections ,the area of under the ROC curves were 0 .816 ,0 .728 and 0 .614 ,respectively .Conclusion Serum PCT for the i‐dentification of bacterial infections has a high diagnostic value ,worth generalizing and applying .

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of 70% ethanol extracts from Garcinia oblongifolia (GOEE)on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells and its potential molecular mechanism. METHODS :GOEE was obtained after the fresh G. oblongifolia epicarp refluxed with 70% ethanol. The contents of total phenol and total flavonoids were determined by Folin-Ciocalteau assay and UV spectrophotometer. MTT assay was used to detect the cytotoxicity of different doses of GOEE. The inflammatory model was induced in RAW 264.7 cells by lipopolysa- ccharide (LPS). Using dexamethasone and N-acetyl-L-cysteine as positive control ,Griess assay and 2′,7′-dichloro- fluorescein assay were used to detect the contents of NO in cell culture medium and ROS in cells. The levels of TNF-α,IL-6,and IL- 1β in cell culture medium were measured by ELISA. The protein expression of p 65,p-p65,IκBα,p-IκBα,HO-1 in cells and NRF 2 in nucleus were determined by using Western blotting assay. RESULTS:The contents of total phenol and flavonoids in GOEE were (20.191±1.264)and(12.571±0.020)mg/g,respectively. At the concentration below 500 μ g/mL, GOEE had no significantly effect on survival rate of RAW 264.7 cells(P> 294043)0.05). Compared with control group ,the contents of NO and ROS,the levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL- 1β,ratio of p-p 65 top65,ratio of p-IκBα to IκBα,protein expression of NRF 2 were increased significantly in LPS model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with LPS model group ,the contents of NO(except for GOEE 50 μg/mL group)and ROS ,the levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL- 1β,ratio of p-p 65 to p 65 and ratio of p-IκBα to IκBα were decreased significantly in GOEE groups and positive control groups ,while protein expression of HO- 1 and NRF 2 were increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:GOEE attenuates LPS-induced macrophages inflammation injury by inhibiting the inflammatory response and the phosphorylation of NF-κB pathway,promoting NRF 2 protein transportation to the nucleus.
