Objective To research whether the inhibitory oligonucleotides could improve the immune status of the BXSB mice. The purpose was to provide a valuable direction for treating systemic lupus erythematosus. Methods 3-month-old BXSB lupus mice were divided into three groups (including inhibitory oligonucleotides group, saline group and blank control group). The 24 hours urine proteins were determined before treatment. After treatment,the urine protein, anti-dsDNA, peripheral blood lymphocytes apoptosis and immune complex in renal glomeruli were measured. Results Before treatment,the urine proteins had no statistical differences among the three groups ( P > 0.05 ).After treatment,the urine protein, anti-dsDNA levels in inhibitory oligonucleotides group were significantly lower than that of control group(P < 0.01 ). Apoptosis of peripheral blood lymphocytes in inhibitory oligonucleotides group was significantly higher than that of control group( P < 0.05 ) ,immune complex in renal glomeruli in inhibitory oligonucleotides group was significantly lower than that of the other groups ( P < 0.05 ). Compared with saline group, inhibitory oligonucleotides had prolonged life period of BXSB mice ( P < 0.01 ). Conclusion The inhibitory oligonucleotides could improve immune status of BXSB, and could put off the disease progression.

BACKGROUND:Knowledge of retropedtoneal space communications might influence catheter placement,and understanding the normal anatomy of the retroperitoneal space is a prerequisite for predicting the distribution of inflammation or other fluid collections in this region. Until recent years,the media/ attachment of the posterior renal fascia remained controversial. The multiple detector spiral CT can show the abdominal anatomic details. So,using the multiple-detector spiral CT to study the anatomy of posterior renal fascia has clinical significance. OBJECTIVE:To describe the medial attachment of the posterior renal fascia by using multiple-detector spiral CT. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A retrospective case analysis was performed at Department of Radiology,Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical College between June 2003 and November 2007. PARTICIPANTS:A total of 52 patients with retropedtoneal inflammatory diseases were retrospectively reviewed through analysis of their CT data. METHODS:Toshiba Akuilion 16-detector spiral CT was employed for scanning. Of the 52 patients,15 were proved by clinical and laboratory findings and 37 were proved by surgery and pathology. Among the 52 patients,17 suffered from appendicitis,1 from ureteritis,2 from abscesses in the perirenal space,3 from abscesses in the posterior pararenal space,and 29 from pancreatltis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Medial attachment of the bilateral posterior renal fascia. RESULTS:At the level of the upper pole of kidney,the posterior renal fascia fused with the fascia of the ipsilateral quadratus lumborum muscle. Forty-six patients manifested the attachment site of the left posterior renal fascia transforming from the quadratus lumborum muscle fasciae to the psoas major muscle fascia at the level of the lower pole of kidney or the infrarenal space. Fifty patients showed the attachment site of the right posterior renal fascia transforming from the quadratus lumborum muscle fascia to the psoas major muscle fascia at the level of the lower pole of kidney or the infrarenal space. CONCLUSION:The posterior renal fascia attachment site is not the same all the time. At different levels,the attachment site of the posterior renal fascia is distinct.

Objective To investigate the influence of IVIG on immunologic function and cytokines levels in children with EV71 infection associated high-risk pulmonary hemorrhage. Methods According to the inclu-sion criteria , 64 children were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups: 39 cases in the IVIG treatment group and 25 cases in the general treatment group. The alternations of blood and immune cytokine markers before and after treatment were detected in the patients. Results (1) Before treatment, the peripheral blood T cells, TH and B cells in the IVIG group were higher than those in the general group , but the peripheral blood IgA was lower than that in the general group(P < 0.05); (2) In the IVIG group, the NK cells and IgG increased and T cells, TH cell and B cells significantly decreased after receiving IVIG therapy (P < 0.05); (3)No significant difference was observed in the levels of IL-6 and IL-10 in the two treatment groups before treatment. However , after IVIG treatment, IL-6 and IFN-γ levels reduced, IL-10 level increased (P < 0.05). After the general treat-ment, no significant difference was found in levels of IL-6,IL-10 and IFN-γ in peripheral blood (P > 0.05). Conclusion Disorders of cellular immunity and humoral immunity appeared in children with EV71 infection-re-lated high-risk pulmonary hemorrhage. It has clinical value to use IVIG timely to regulate the immune disorder.

Objective To prepare and evaluate the reference materials for plasma von Willebrand Factor antigen testing with fresh frozen plasma.Methods The candidates were prepared by low temperature centrifugation in 5 different concentration levels.The homogeneity and stability of the preparation was evaluated according to the ISO Guide35 and CNAS-GL03.The comparability between STAGO and IL system was evaluated according to the WS/T 356-2011.Then the preparations were characterized by six laboratories with the Secondary Coagulation Standard established by NIBSC(SSCLOT4).Results Homogeneity evaluation of the preparation showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (P >0.05),the F values of factor analysis of variance were 0.317~0.844,the uncertainty range was 1.01% ~2.06%.A linear regression based on stability evaluation indicated that the linear trend (within 24 weeks)was insignificant (P >0.05). The uncertainty range of long-term (within 24 weeks)stability was 0.79% ~ 1.20%.The results of the preparations on STAGO and IL system were comparable.The certificated values of the candidates were range from 12.2% to 138.9% with uncertainties were 0.06%~0.09%,respectively.The range of combined standard uncertainty was 0.03% ~ 0.16% while the expanded uncertainty was 2.2%~6.7%.Conclusion The reference materials for von Willebrand Factor antigen testing were stable and homogenous with comparability between STAGO and IL.The method of characterization was accurate and reliable.

ObjectiveTo explore the safety and therapeutic effect of 8 patients with esophageal Hiatal Hernia treated by laparoscopic hernia repair.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 8 patients with esophageal Hiatal Hernia form Jun.2009 to Jun. 2010.Among the participants,3 conducted 360-degree fundoplication,5 conducted partial(270-degree) fundoplication.Silk sutures were used for the repair of esophageal perforation in 4 patients,and patch repair was used for the other 4 cases.ResultsEight patients were treated by laparoscopic hernia repair,and all of them were cured without postoperative complications.The mean duration of surgery was ( 120 ± 30) min,with average blood loss ( 50 ± 12 ) ml.Patients had a mean postoperative hospital stay of(4.5 ± 2.5 )days.All the patients were followed up for 1 to 2 years,and no case was found to be relapsed.ConclusionTotal laparoscopic hernia repair is minimally invasive,with short recovery course,less pain after surgery,little complication and short hospitalized time.Laparoscopic Hernia repair should be the preferred effective operation method for patients with esophageal Hiatal Hernia.

Objective To evaluate the orthodontic effect of surgery on mixed dentition period class Ⅲ malocclusion and to investigate the effective therapeutic method of the skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion.Methods A total of 20 patients aged 8.5 to 9.1 years with early mixed dentition class Ⅲ skeletal malocclusion.The treatment was divided into two phases.During the first phase,the entire stuffy group was treated with a bonded maxillary expansion and protraction.During the second phase,the entire study group received multiple loop edgewise arch wire (MEAW) treatment until an ideal occlusion relationship achieved.Comparison of the pre-and post-orthodontic treatment cephalometric radiographs had been done after maxillary protraction and MEAW were applied for patients.Results In the 20 patients after orthodontic treatment,Class Ⅲ skeletal facial profile was improved,the retraction of anterior teeth was obvious,and there were significant changes in dentition; the profile of soft tissue and satisfactory occlusion relationship were significantly improved,as compared with the changes between pre-treatment and post-treatment.Conclusions Skeletal Ⅲ malocclusion in early mixed dentition can be successfully treated.The results can be satisfied with improved class Ⅲ skeletal and molar relationship,high-angle and profile of soft tissue.
