Objective To explore the pathogenesis and clinical value of Th1/Th2 and normal intestinal flora from the angle of immunological and intestinal micro environment balance by detecting the plasma interferon-γ(IFN-γ)and interleukin-4(IL-4)and fecal bifidobacteria in Children with Allergic Asthma,so as to provide a theoretical basis through early intervention of probiotics to correct the Th1/Th2 balance.Methods The levels of blood plasma IFN-γ,IL-4 and fecal bifidobacteria amount of 165 cases of chil-dren with allergic asthma and 150 health students as control group were detected by ELISA and real time fluorescence PCR at the same time.Retesting these above indexes after applying bifidobacteria regulation of intestinal flora for 6 months.The clinical relative factors and experimental data were statistically analyzed.Results The level of IFN-γof asthmatic children were remarkably lower than those in the control group(P <0.05),while the level of IL-4 of asthmatic children were remarkably higher than those in the control group(P <0.05),and the amount of bifidobacteria of asthmatic children were remarkably lower than those in the control group(P <0.05).The level of IFN-γand bifidobacteria of asthmatic children improved remarkably and the level of IL-4 decreased significantly after applying bifidobacteria regulation of intestinal flora for 6 months.All of them had remarkable statistically signifi-cant.Conclusion The immune balance was affected by the intestinal flora balance of vice versa.This would provide an important theo-retical support to prevent the occurrence of allergic asthma by the early probiotics regulation of intestinal flora and immune balance.

Two groups were treated with conventional treatment, such as low purine, low protein diet, quit smoking and drinking extra water. The control group was added with oral benzbromarone, and the treatment group was added with oralHuangkui capsule. All the treatments last 8 weeks. Theblood uric acid (BUA), serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), cystatin C (Cys-C), SOD, 24-hour urinary protein quantity and Urinary sediment red blood cell count were detected by the automatic biochemical analyser.The clinical effect was evaluated by the Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) quality of life questionnaire.Results Compared with the control group, the total effective rate in the treatment group was 86.64% (26/30), which was significantly higher than that of 63.33% (19/30) in the control group (χ2=7.264, P=0.001).

[Objective To evaluate the teaching effects and advantages of problem-based learning (PBL) teaching mode based on network in the clinical practice of obstetrics and gynecology. Methods 2007 grade intern students in department of obstetrics and gynecology in Beijing Tongren Hospital of Capital Medical University were divided into 2 groups:control group (18 seven-year program and 11 five-year program)and experiment group (17 seven-year program and 10 five-year program). Traditional teaching was conducted in control group:interns and teacher completed teaching ward round several times according to the teaching requirement. PBL based on network was conducted in experiment group:tea-chers asking questions-data collection-learning and discussing-demonstrating and arguing-discussing and summarizing teaching process. Then the effects of different teaching methods were evaluated by clinical practice skill and theoretical test. SSPS13.0 statistical software was used for data analysis and measurement data were expressed as x±s. T test was conducted among groups. Results As for clinical practice skills, scores in PBL group (seven-year program and five-year program )were higher than those of traditional group [seven-year program:(190.47±2.30)vs (87.42±2.93);five-year program:(92.95±2.20)vs (90 . 09 ± 2 . 70 )] . There was no difference between the two groups in scores of theoretical test . In clinical practice skills,scores of general skill and clinic case analysis showed significant differences be-tween PBL group and traditional group. Conclusions PBL tea-ching mode based on network can improve the quality and effectiveness of the clinical practice of obstetrics and gynecology, especially in the social, technical,and knowledge dimension.

Objective To evaluate the effect of tranilast on neointimal proliferation and remodeling of rabbit iliac artery after balloon injury.Methods Twenty four rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups including sham-operated group, control group, and treatment group. Balloon catheter was used to induce injury to the iliac artery of rabbits in control group and treatment group. Tranilast was given to the rabbits in treatment group (300 mg?kg -1) once a day from 3 days before operation to 28 days after operation, and then local vessels were harvested for pathological analysis and immunohistochemical staining. Automatic image analysis system was used to detect the changes of intimal thickness, medial thickness, luminal area, external elastic lamina (EEL) cross-sectional area and the proliferation index of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Results The intimal thickness was decreased in treatment group compared with control group. The luminal area and EEL cross-sectional area were significantly larger in treatment group than those in control group. No significant difference was found between treatment group and control group in medial thickness. The proliferation index of PCNA was significantly reduced in treatment group compared with control group. Conclusions Tranilast signifcantly inhibited neointimal hyperplasia and prompted compensatory artery dilation during remodeling of rabbit iliac artery after balloon injury. The effect on neointimal hyperplasia may be partly attributed to the inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.

MicroRNA (miRNA) plays a regulating function in translation stage of gene expression.MiRNA has been found directly involving in the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer,and its abnormal expression is closely related to early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and may provide new therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer patients.MiRNA detection will have good application prospect in on the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
