Hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb)is formed in response to hepatitic B virus (HBV)infection,which is a typical character-istic of virus clearance.It is theoretically impossible to detect sequential expression of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)and HBsAb in the same patient.In recent years,however,cases of coexistence of HBsAg and HBsAb have been frequently reported.Clinically,coexis-tence of HBsAg and HBsAb is commonly seen in patients with chronic hepatitis B and those injected with hepatitis B vaccine or given high-dose monoclonal anti-HBs.The mechanism of this special phenomenon remains unclear.The relevant research findings in China and the rest of the world are summarized.Analysis shows that coexistence of HBsAg and HBsAb may be related to HBV S gene mutation,decreased binding force of HBsAb,etc.

Objective To develop coronary artery disease self-management scale and evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods The item pool was based on the theory of chronic disease self-management and the evidence of behavioral medical science related to coronary heart disease.Firstly,the preliminary scale was developed through specialist evaluation;then it was reviewed by 10 patients and specialists again;At last,209 patients were surveyed and based on the pilot data,a series of statistic analysis was conducted such as factor analysis,correlation analysis,etc.To deduce the items to 27 and then a comprehensive set of psychometric tests was performed on the final version.Results Psychometric tests with the application of stringent criteria confirmed the test-retest reliability(ICC=0.910),internal consistency(Cronbach's ?=0.913),criterion-related validity(r=0.271-0.573),construct validity(factor analysis confirms the hypothesis of the scale),responsiveness(t=9.011,P

Objective To investigate the self management behaviors and analyze the related factors in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD) in order to provide the evidence for strategy making on health education and secondary prevention of CHD.Methods Totally 209 patients with verified CHD who were from 3 grade-A hospitals in Chongqing from October 2007 to January 2008 were investigated with Coronary Heart Disease Self Management Scale(including three sub-scales: daily management,medical management and emotional management).Their general information and the disease related information were also collected.Results The score of self management in the cohort of patients was(52.69?18.47).The multi-variable stepwise regression showed there were statistically significant correlation between the daily life management and working status;between the medical management and education background,hypertension,classification of CHD and duration of CHD;between the emotional management and disease perception,economic status(P

Oral fluid resuscitation in early period of hypovolemic shock is an important measure in the treatment of casualties in the battlefield as well as in mass casualties in lieu of the means of establishing a venous line. The main tasks in the study of oral rehydration resuscitation are the proposition of appropriate prescriptions of the liquids to be given and methods of administration on the basis of a clear elucidation of the mechanism underlying the function of the digestive system in regard to transportation and absorption of the given ingredients. The aim of the study is to fully replenish maximal amount of fluid containing glucose and electrolytes in a convenient, expeditious, and effective way in a minimal span of time, in order to increase circulating blood volume. At the same time, ischemia and tolerance to oral fluids of the gastro-intestinal tract should be improved, electrolyte imbalance and incidence of secondary infection should be alleviated, and finally hypovolemic shock is corrected, so that the victim is kept alive and prepared for further definitive surgical intervention.

Objective To study the effects of pulmonary function training on the lung function and surgical tolerance of lung cancer patients with different degrees of obstructive ventilatory defect.Methods Pulnonary function training was performed with 103 lung cancer patients with obstructive ventilatory defects (26 mild cases,53 moderate cases,24 severe cases).The duration of the intensive training was 5-7 days.Vital capacity (VC),vital capacity percentage (VC％),forced vital capacity (FVC),forced vital capacity percentage (FVC％),forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1),percentage of the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1％),maximum voluntary ventilation percentage (MVV％),peak expiratory flow percentage (PEF％),fraction of the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1/FVC),and maximum mid-expiratory flow percentage (MMEF％) were measured before and after the training.Any postoperative complications were recorded.Results The average MMEF％ improved significantly among the moderate patients after their training.Eventually 19/26 patients (73.08％) in the mild group,34/53 patients (64.15％) in the moderate group,and 8/24 patients (33.33％) in the severe group met the requirements to undergo lung operations.These were significant differences among the groups.Among those operated on,27 (44.26％) suffered from postoperative complications,a significantly higher percentage than among the normal controls (20.00％).Conclusion Lung function exercises can improve the operation tolerance of lung cancer patients with obstructive ventilation dysfunction,but the risk of operating is still much higher than for patients with normal ventilation function.

OBJECTIVE:To study the improvement effects of polydatin on renal fibrosis in rats and its mechanism. METH-ODS:50 rats was were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,positive group(benazepril,5 mg/kg)and poly-datin high-dose and low-dose groups(100,50 mg/kg),with 10 rats in each group. Except for sham operation group,renal fibrosis model was induced by unilateral ureter obstruction. After modeling,administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastri-cally,and sham operation group and model group were given 0.5%sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution once a day for consec-utive 4 weeks. The pathological change of renal tissue was scored. 24 h urinary protein and serum levels of urea nitrogen and creati-nine were determined,and the content of hydroxyproline,mRAN expression of TGF-β1 and FN were detected in renal tissue. RE-SULTS:Compared with sham operation group,pathological score,24 h urinary protein,serum levels of urea nitrogen and creati-nine,the content of hydroxyproline in renal tissue,mRNA expression of TGF-β1 and FN were all increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group,24 h urinary protein,serum levels of urea nitrogen and creatinine and mRNA expression of FN in renal tissue decreased significantly in administation groups;the pathology scores,the content of hydroxyproline in renal tis-sue and mRNA expression of TGF-β1 of positive group and polydatin high-dose group were all decreased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Polydatin can prevent kidney fibrosis induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction,the mechanism of which may be associated with the mRNA expression down-regulation of TGF-β1 and FN in renal tissue.

Objective To detect the change of interleukin-18 (IL-18) level in the serum of patients with acute leukemia (AL) in children, and explore the clinical significance of IL-18. Methods The level of IL-18 was measured by sandwich enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) in 45 patients with AL in children. Results The leverof IL-18 in pre-treatment AL group was 719.35±358.21pg/mL and significantly higher than that of normal-control group [(311.80±146.64)pg/mL P <0.01]. Mter treatment, the level of IL-18 was 401.14±180.78 pg/mL in post-treatment complete remission group, which was significantly lower than that of pre-treatment group(P <0.01). The level of IL-18 in non-remission group was higher than those of normal control and CR group (P<0.01);while pre-treatment group the difference was not significant (P >0.05). According to the clinical sub-group with risk factors in pre-treatment AL, the level of IL-18 in high risk(HR) and middle risk(MR) group was significantly higher than low risk(LR) group (P<0.05). The level of IL-18 in T-ALL group was significantly higher than that in B-ALL group (P<0.05). The levels of IL-18 in pre-treatment AL were markedly correlated to the count of blast cells in bone marrow (r=0.411, P=0.005). Conclusion The level of IL-18 in the patients of childhood AL was in a high expression, and related to the clinical treating effect and the count of blast cells in bone marrow, which would be taken as an index of treating effect. The level of IL-18 was closely related to the clinical risk factors in pre-treatment AL.

Aim To observe the modulation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on motility of isolated gastric smooth muscle from rat.Methods Longitudinal and circular muscle strips of rat gastric body and antrum were prepared, and the effects of ATP (0.1, 1,10,100 ?mol?L~-1 and 1 mmol?L~-1 ) on the motility of the strips were investigated. Results ATP induced a small relaxation followed by an obvious spasm in longi- tudinal muscle strips of the gastric body; when tone was raised by KCl, ATP induced a larger relaxation followed by a smaller spasm.ATP only produced contraction in circular muscle strips of the gastric body.Low concentration of ATP inhibited the contractile amplitude of the antral longitudinal strips, at the same time increased the frequency of the contraction apparently; when tone was raised by KCl, ATP produced a concentration-related relaxation.Low concentration of ATP firstly enhanced and then inhibited contractile amplitude of antral circular musle strips, while high concentration of ATP fully inhibited the motility. Conclusion We firstly reported the obvious effects of ATP on longitudinal and circular strips of rat gastric body and antrum. The effects of ATP on the four preparations were different from each other, suggesting that ATP plays an important modulatory role on motility of gastric smooth muscle of rats.
