Objective To investigate any anti-inflammatory and curative effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on mice with acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccaride endotoxin. Methods Fortysix Sprague-Dawley rats, half male and half female, were randomly divided into a normal saline group with 10 rats,an LPS group with 12 rats, and an HBO group with 24 rats. LPS was injected via the tail vein at 5 mg/kg weight to establish the ALI model. The HBO group rats were treated with HBO. Then leucocyte counts, arterial blood gas analysis, interleukin-8 (IL-8) in the blood and lung wet/dry weight (W/D) were compared among the 3 groups at the 3rd and 6th hours. Pathological changes were examined under a light microscope. Results Compared with the LPS group, blood oxygen and W/D were higher in the HBO group, the white blood cell, neutrophil and IL-8 all were lower, and inflammatory cell infiltration was less in lung slides from the HBO group. Conclusions HBO therapy can improve oxygen deficiency and has an anti-inflammatory effect. As a result it might have protective effect against ALI.

Objective To explore the differences of the proliferation ability and the antineoplastic activity of CIK cells against origenal hepatocellullar cancer cells between healthy adults and tumor patients in vitro. Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy donors and tumor patients were incubated to induce CIK cells in the presence of interferon gamroa(IFN-γ) ,IL-2 and anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb). The changes in the proliferation activity and phenotypes of the CIK cells were identified by flow cytometric analysis. Single cell suspension was prepared bom the fresh hepatocellular carcinoma tissue by using mechanical trituration method. MTT assays were used to determine the cytotoxicity of CIK cells against origenal hepatocellullar cancer cells. Results The CIK cells from both healthy donors and tumor patients were significantly increased with the extension of time. The expression rate of CD3+/CD56+ cells from healthy donors rose from 1.053% ±0.22% on 1st day ,25.36% ±2.19% on the 7th day to 55.12% ±1.99% on the 14th day ,which was significantly higher than that of tumor patients ( P ＜ 0.05). MTT assays showed that the cytotoxicity of CIK cells from both enhanced obviously with the addition of Effect/Target rate and extension of time(P ＜0.05). After the origenal hepatocellullar cancer cells were treated by CIK cells 24 hours, the cytotoxicity of CIK cells from healthy donors at the effector:target ratio of 10 ∶ 1,20 ∶1 and 40 ∶1 was significantly higher than that of tumor patients(P＜0.05) ,respectively. After treated 48 hours, compared with tumor patients, the cytotoxicity of healthy donors? CIK at the three effector:target ratio was alsosignificantly higher(P ＜0.05), respectively. Conclusion CIK cells from both have amplification ability and cytotoxic activity in vitro,and the proliferation ability and killing activity of healthy adults CIK is stronger than that of tumor patients,which provides an experimental basis for CIK to clinical application as an adoptive immunotherapy.

Objectives To compare the effectiveness and safety of local anesthesia and epidural anesthesia with ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy at distal ureteral stone. Methods A total of 160 patients with distal ureteral stone treated with ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy from December 2013 to February 2014 were included. They were divided equally into 2 groups by method of random sampling. Patients in group A (n=80) treated with local anesthesia were compared to those in group B(n=80),who were dealt with epidural anesthesia. Results The statistical difference was significant in terms of hospital stay after operation and overall cost of therapy(P<0. 05) respectively,on the other hand,it was not significant in respect of the operation time,the operation successful rate,the stone clearance rate and the complications incidence rate (P>0. 05)respectively. Conclusion For the identified patients,the local anesthesia in ureteral ureteroscopic pneumatic lith-otripsy is a safe,effective and economical method for distal ureteral stone.

Objective To survey the current working status of general practitioners (GPs) who received residency training in Shanghai.Methods The current status of general practitioners,who completed residency training in Shanghai from 2013 to 2014,was surveyed with self-designed questionnaire by e-mail.The survey items included current employers,job specification,clinical practice,teaching,scientific research and so on.Results Three hundred and thirteen out of 377 GPs,who completed residency training from 2007 to 2012,participated in the survey (83.0％),including 85 males and 228 females with a mean age of (31.2 ± 2.6) years.Among all participants,298 (95.2％) worked in community health service centers,12.8％ (40/313) of them were involved in general practice teaching,9.9％ (31/313) undertook management,9.3％ (29/313) did academic research in community,and 7.7％ (24/313) had chance for overseas study.The survey also showed that 134 person/times received various commendations and awards.Conclusion Most GPs who completed residency training are undertaking clinical practice in community health service centers,and they are also well involved in management,teaching,and research.

Objective To detect by flow cytometry (FCM) acute myeloid leukemia. Methods Fourcolor staining was used for analysis of immunphonotypes of 52 cases with acute myeloid leukemia and 7 cases of mixed leukaemia. Results 52 cases with series of patients with AML expression, with the main expression CD13 (94.2 %), CD117 (90.4 %), cMPO (90.4 %) CD33 (86.5 %), CD34 (57.7 %), HLA-DR (53.8 %).

Objective To detect double immuno-phenotype of acute leukemia by the application of flow cytometry (FCM). Methods Four-color FCM was used to analyse 23 cases of acute leukemia of double immune phenotype. Results Among 23 cases, cCD3 was expressed in 10 cases (43.4 %), cCD79a in 16 cases (69.6 %), cMPO in 20 cases (87.0 %), TdT in 14 cases (60.9 %), CD34 in 19 cases (82.6 %) and CD117 in 20 cases (87.0 %). 13 cases (56.5 %) expressed both myeloid and B lymphocyte antigens, in which cCD79a and cMPO were positively expressed, 7 cases (30.4 %) were found to express both myeloid and T lymphocyte antigens of cCD3 and cMPO 3 cases (13.04 %) were positive for both cCD3 and cCD79a. Conclusion cCD3,cCD79a, and cMPO were lineage specific antigen markers, which could be used for diagnosis and differential double phenotype leukemias. FCM is a useful and reliable method for diagnosis of acute leukemia, and guidance of treatment and prognosis of leukemia in clinical.

Objective Hepatitis C virus patients are often accompanied by insulin resistance and diabetes.To probe the relative factors of abnormal glycometabolism in chronic HCV infections.Methods A total of 1 039 treatment-naive patients that were confirmed chronic HCV infected were enrolled in the study.The demographics,biochemical index parameters and other data about liver function and HCV viral load were got from infectious disease department of Jurong Pepole's Hospital in China.Results A total of 140 (13.5％) patients were diagnosed with some forms of abnormal glycometabolism.The body mass index (BMI) (x2 =9.231,P =0.010),waist circumference (x2 =7.984,P =0.018),systolic blood pressure (x2 =16.366,P ＜0.001),diastolic blood pressure (x2 =13.970,P =0.001),alanine aminotransferase(ALT) (x2 =4.809,P =0.028),HCV-RNA viral load (t =-3.818,P ＜0.001) were significantly different between non-diabetic HCV patients and abnormal glycometabolism patients.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ALT(OR =2.986,95％ CI:1.171-7.615) and HCV-RNA viral load (OR =2.061,95％ CI:1.165-3.644) were found as risk factors in multivariate regression analysis for patients with chronic hepatitis C who had abnormal glucose metabolism.Conclusions Chronic hepatitis C patients with higher ALT and HCV-RNA level were more probably to suffer from abnormal glycometabolism.In order to find potentially novel risk factors of HCV with abnormal glucose metabolisn,further studies about genetic and other clinical factors need to be processed.
