Clinical Medicine of China 2014;30(12):1256-1258
Objective To investigate the relationship of hypoxia inducible factor-1 α(HIF-1α),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and cerebral infarction.Method Two hundred and twelve cases with acute cerebral infarction in the Fourth People's Hospital of Langfang from Jun.to Dec.2013 were divided into progressive cerebral infarction(PCI) group(n =105) and the stability of cerebral infarction (SCI) group (n =107).Meanwhile 100 healthy people were served as control group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was applied to detect the levels of HIF-1 α,TNF-α and HGF.The PCI group were divided into small groups according to nerve function or infarction lesion size,and the levels of HIF-1 α,TNF-α and HGF of each group.Result The levels of HIF-1 α,TNF-α,HGF in PCI group were (2.3 ± 1.3) ng/L,(4.0 ± 0.5) mg/L and (1.4 ± 0.3) μg/L,significantly higher than those in SCI group ((1.1 ± 0.5) ng/L,(3.1 ±1.3) mg/L and (0.7 ±0.4) μg/L;F=5.42) and control group((0.5 ±0.1) ng/L,(1.8 ±0.4) mg/L and (0.4 ±0.1) μg/L;F =3.14).Meanwhile,the levels of HIF-1 α,TNF-α,HGF in SCI group was significantly higher than that of the control group (F =1.32,P < 0.05).The levels of HIF-1α,TNF-α,HGF in mild PCI group were significantly lower than those in moderate group and severe group,and those in moderate group was lower than those in severe group (F =0.93,4.32,2.31 ; P < 0.01).The levels of HIF-1 α,TNF-α,HGF in small infarction group were (0.6 ± 0.4) ng/L,(2.7 ± 0.4) mg/L,(0.7 ± 0.4) μg/L,significantly lower than those in infarction group ((1.1 ± 0.5) ng/L,(4.4 ± 0.5) mg/L,(1.1 ± 0.2) μg/L; F =4.71,P<0.05) and large infarction group((1.4 ± 0.6) ng/L,(4.8 ± 0.6) mg/L,(1.9 ± 0.5) μg/L; F =2.09,P<0.05).The levels of HIF-1α,TNF-α,HGF in focal infarction group was significantly lower than that in large infarction group and the difference is statistically significant(F =2.45,P <0.05).Conclusion HIF-1 α,TNF-α and HGF serum levels in progressive cerebral infarction are significantly increased,which is related to the function defect and size of infarction.

Objectives To explore the changes of serum interleukin-33 (IL-33), IgA anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA) and IgA anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA) in acute stage of Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura (HSP) in children and its clinical signiif-cance. Methods Thirty-seven children with acute HSP admitted to hospital were selected from Nov.2012 to Jan.2013. Twenty healthy children were selected as healthy controls. The serum levels of IL-33 were measured by double anti-body sandwich en-zyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the serum levels of AECA-IgA and ACA-IgA were detected by double antigen sandwich ELISA. Results Serum levels of IL-33, AECA-IgA and ACA-IgA in patients with acute HSP were signiifcantly higher than those in healthy controls (P<0.001). According to different clinical types, the serum levels of IL-33, AECA-IgA and ACA-IgA were signiifcantly higher in mixed-type HSP (with joint involvement and gastrointestinal symptoms and/or kidney damage) than those in HSP patients with only joint, abdomen or renal involvement (P<0.05). Serum levels of IL-33 in acute stage of HSP had a positive correlation with AECA-IgA (r=0.752, P<0.001) and ACA-IgA (r=0.788, P<0.001). Conclusions The immune pathological injury in vessels caused by the interaction of IL-33, AECA-IgA and ACA-IgA may be the important pathogenesis of HSP, which may provide a clue for the early diagnosis and treatment for HSP.

Objective To investigate the use of cardiopulmonary auscultation model in clinical skills teaching, and students' feeling about this teaching form. On the basis of this teaching model, we have reflected on the teaching mode. Methods Through the questionnaire survey, 145 medical stu-dents of grade 2009 were asked to investigate their learning experience about cardiopulmonary aus-cultation model and other aspects of it. Results There are 71.7% students liking cardiopulmonary auscultation model in teaching; 96.5% students can establish contacting abnormal cardiopulmonary auscultation signs with cardiovascular diseases after the training; There are 91.7% students thinking teaching hours about auscultation model is not enough. For the open question “what do you think is the difficulty of cardiopulmonary auscultation learning?” The representative answer is: I think car-diopulmonary auscultation is unable to recognize visual things. Conclusion Cardiopulmonary aus-cultation model can successfully improve the students' clinical skills and achieve good teaching effect. Students have a positive and supportive attitude to it.

Objective To investigate the effect of microcatheter in chemoembolization of HCC. Methods Using 4-F ~ 5-F Yashiro/Kouno and 5-F Hook catheters as guiding catheter,3-F microcatheter was put into segmental hepatic artery or tumor feeding artery and chemoembolization was carried out. Results All 35 cases had 50 times chemoembolizations totally, of them, 16 cases with small HCC had segmental TAE and 19 cases with large but localized HCC had right/left hepatic artery or anterio/posterio brtaneh of right hepatic artery embolization,1 ~2 year survial rates were 100% ,87.5% and 52.6% ,42. 1% respectively after TAE. Liver function damage after TAE was slight and no complications occurred. Conclusion Improving embolization precision by using microcatheter is valuable in the cases with small HCC or large but localized HCC with tortuous hepatic artery,hepatic artery stenosis after injury and variations.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on mononuclear cells in peripheral blood and changes of serum vitamin D level in children with bronchiolitis.Methods The children who were diagnosed as bronchiolitis and received treatment in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from October 2013 to January 2014 were chosen as the pre-treatment group,and then divided them into moderate group and severe group according to the clinical symptoms,20 cases for each group.Then the cases in pre-treatment group who recovered after treatment were recruited as the after-treatment group,and the children who were healthy and medical examination in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University in the same period were recruited as the healthy control group.The expressions of TLR4 on CD14 labeled mononuclear cells in the periphera were measured by flow cytometry.The level of 25 (OH) D in serum was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results (1) The expression level in children with bronchiolitis of TLR4:the mode-rate group [(18.98 ±2.29)%] and severe group [(30.13 ±2.13)%] increased significantly (P <0.05) compared with control group [(1.17 ± 0.57) %].And the expression level of moderate group [(2.02 ± 0.48) %] and severe group [(11.43 ± 1.52) %] decreased significantly after treatment (P <0.05).(2) Serum vitamin D level in children with bronchiolitis of the moderate group[(17.16 ± 3.34) μg/L] and severe group [(6.56 ± 2.28) μg/L] were lower than healthy control group [(53.69 ± 20.18) μg/L] before treatment (P < 0.05),especially the severe group [(6.56 ±2.28) μg/L].The level of moderate group [(9.59 ± 2.31) μg/L] and severe group [(4.70 ± 0.67) μg/L] became lower after treatment (P < 0.05).(3) Both severe group (r =-0.491,P < 0.05) before treatment and moderate group (r =-0.436,P < 0.05) after treatment showed negative correlation between TLR4 on mononuclear cells in peripheral blood and serum 25 (OH)D level in children with bronchiolitis.And no correlation was found among healthy control group,moderate group before treatment and severe group after treatment (P > 0.05).Conclusions The conditions of children with bronchiolitis was positively correlated with the expression level of TLR4,and negatively correlated with the vitamin D level.The serum 25 (OH) D decreased steadily during the treatment.The expression of TLR4 in monocytes has a certain correlation with the level of vitamin D in children with bronchiolitis.
