1.The pathogenesis of the lower respiratory infection by Mycoplasma pneumoniae and the therapeutic effects of glucocorticoid
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(6):597-599
Mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) is one of common pathogens of community-acquired pneumonia in children. In recent years, the incidence of MP pneumonia (MPP) shows a trend of increasing. The report of severe refractory MPP was more and more. Glucocorticoids has anti-inlfammatory, anti-allergic and restraining immune response pharmacological effects and is the most effective anti-inlfammatory drug currently. In this paper, pathogenesis of the lower respiratory infection by MP and the therapeutic effects of glucocorticoid were reviewed.

Objective To study the effects of mifepristone on the expression of estrogen receptor(ER)? and progesterone receptor(PR) in the endometrium of patients with adenomyosis in different menstrual cycles. Methods Forty-seven patients with adenomyosis and 15 normal subjects were divided into 3 groups: mifepristone group(n=24),non-drug group(n=23) and control group(n=15).The expression of ER? and PR in eutopic,ectopic and normal endometrium in proliferative phase and secretory phase were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results In non-drug group,the expression of ER? and PR in ectopic endometrial glandular and stromal cells was significantly lower than that in eutopic and normal endometrium(P0.05).The expression of ER? and PR in both ectopic and eutopic endometrial glandular and stromal cells in mifepristone group was lower than that in the non-drug group(P

Objective To analyze the diagnosis and treatment of iliac pseudoaneurysms following renal transplantation.Method The data of two patients with pseudoaneurysm who underwent kidney transplantation were retrospective analysied.Result One case with pseudoaneurysm received transplant nephrectomy,and pathological examination diagnosed mucoraceae infection; the other patient received endovascular treatment and amphotericin B therapy,endly died of hemorrhagic shock.Conclusion The development of pseudoaneurysms at the kidney transplantation recipients with the same donor results in high rates of mucormycosis.They should take anti-fungus therapy and operation as early as possible.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy after operation in patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of parotid gland,and to screen the indicators ralated to the prognosis of tumor.Methods Eighty patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of parotid gland in First People′Hospital of Yibin of Sichuan Province from January 2005 to December 2009 were analysed retrospectively in our research.We studied the survival of patients who were treated wtih simple operation(30 cases)or postoperative adjuvant therapy(50 cases).Then we further analyzed the relationships between the prognosis of the patients and some variables (age,gender,smoking,alcohol drinking,lymph node metastasis,distant organ metastasis,treat-ment method,differentiation degree and T grading).Results Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that patients with postoperative adjuvant therapy had longer PFS and OS than those without adjuvant therapy (94.4 months vs 69.3 months;114.9 months vs 96.7 months),with statistical significance (χ2 =11 .246,P =0.001 ;χ2 =15.803,P =0.001 ).COX univariate analysis showed that gender (χ2 =22.346,P =0.000),smoking (χ2 =7.891 ,P =0.041 ),lymph node metastasis (χ2 =12.371 ,P =0.005),distant organ metastasis (χ2 =9.81 3, P =0.002),treatment method (χ2 =25.261 ,P =0.000),differentiation degree (χ2 =4.361 ,P =0.006)and T grading (χ2 =5.336,P =0.01 4)were related to the PFS of patients.COX multivariate analysis showed that lymph node metastasis (χ2 =11 .003,RR =2.827,95%CI:1 .965-3.851 ,P =0.011 ),distant organ metastasis (χ2 =7.611 ,RR =0.472,95%CI:0.240-0.775,P =0.016),treatment method (χ2 =24.542,RR =5.390, 95%CI:3.585-9.602,P =0.000),degree of differentiation (χ2 =3.221 ,RR =2.1 1 8,95%CI:1 .845-4.719, P =0.009)and T grading (χ2 =4.336,RR =0.804,95%CI:0.681 -0.916,P =0.024)were related to the PFS of patients.COX univariate analysis showed that smoking (χ2 =4.551 ,P =0.008),alcohol drinking (χ2 =11 .742,P =0.048),lymph node metastasis (χ2 =14.886,P =0.009),distant organ metastasis (χ2 =6.71 3, P =0.005),treatment method (χ2 =22.411 ,P =0.000),degree of differentiation (χ2 =8.1 16,P =0.012)and T grading (χ2 =14.443,P =0.035)were related to the OS of patients.COX multivariate analysis showed that lymph node metastasis (χ2 =11 .711 ,RR =2.985,95%CI:1 .521 -3.999,P =0.005),distant organ metastasis (χ2 =5.390,RR =0.400,95%CI:0.201 -0.793,P =0.009),treatment method (χ2 =19.327,RR =5.086, 95%CI:3.241 -8.006,P =0.000),degree of differentiation (χ2 =7.084,RR =2.301 ,95%CI:1 .908-4.503, P =0.001 )and T grading (χ2 =1 3.229,RR =0.561 ,95%CI:0.348-0.867,P =0.040)were related to the OS of patients.Conclusion Adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy can obviously prolong the PFS and OS for the patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of parotid gland.Lymph node metastasis,distant organ metastasis,treat-ment method,differentiation degree and T grading can greatly influence the prognosis of patients with mucoepider-moid carcinoma of parotid gland,which can be used as independent prognostic indicators for the patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of parotid gland.

Objective To investigate the expression of integrin ?1 and ?1 and to study their role on cell apoptosis of placenta with pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome. Methods Immuno histochemistry was used for 40 placental samples with PIH and 43 normal placental samples to detect the expression of integrin ?1、?1; TDT mediated dUTP nick end labeling(Tune1) was used for 12 placental samples with PIH and 24 normal placental samples to examine apoptosis index in cytotrophoblast, syncytiotrophoblast and decidual cell. Results The apoptosis index in placental cytotrophoblast, syncytiotrophoblast and decidual cells in PIH group were (11.04 ? 3.46)%, (12.2 ? 3.67)%, (13.03 ? 4.38)% respectively and was significantly higher than of control group [(3.91 ? 1.65)%,(5.39 ? 1.76)%, (4.08 ? 1.97)%] ( P

Objective To investigate the effectivity of bispectral index(BIS)and auditory -evoked potentials index(AEP index)in monitoring the depth of desflurane anesthesia in the elderly. Methods Sixty patients(ASA gradeⅠ~Ⅱ)without obvious auditory and psychiatric dysfunction undergoing general anesthesia were enrolled in this study,and they were devided into the elderly group (n=30)and the non-elderly group(n=30)according to the age.After the endotracheal intubation,the lungs were ventilated with desflurane in oxygen.End-tidal concentrations of desflurane were maintained at 0.6,1.0 minimum alveolar concentrations(MAC)and 1.3 MAC for 20 minutes, respectively.The changes of BIS,AEP index,mean arterial blood pressure(MAP)and heart rate (HR)were recorded simultaneously.Results In the elderly and non-elderly groups,BIS were 94.14?6.5 and 94.5?4.6(P>0.05),and AEP index at pre-anesthesia were 87.2?11.7 and 89.2?6.9(P>0.05)respectively,which showed no statistic difference between two groups.BIS and AEP index decreased significantly in each time point at pre-anesthesia compared with those during anesthesia in two groups (P<0.05).In the periods of increasing concentration of desflurane,BIS decreased gradually in two groups(P>0.05),but BIS in the elderly group were higher than in the non-elderly group at the same end-tidal desflurane concentration(P>0.05),and BIS negatively correlated with the end-tidal desflurane concentration in two groups.In the elderly group,AEP index decreased significantly at the concentration of 1.0 MAC and 1.3 MAC of desflurane compared with that of 0.6 MAC(P<0.05),but there was no difference in AEP index with increasing end-tidal desflurane concentration from 1.0 MAC to 1.3 MAC(P>0.05).At every concentration of desflurane,AEPindexintheelderlygroupwaslessthaninthenon-elderlygroup(P<0.05).Conclusions BIS and AEP indexes correlate well with the end-tidal desflurane concentration,and are valuable for monitoring the depth of desflurane anesthesia in the elderly.AEP index can predict the difference in depth of anesthesia at the same end-tidal desflurane concentration between the elderly and the non-elderly.
