This study was designed to assess the immune protective effects of the vaccine strain of a precocious line of Eimeria necatrix with different doses and at different immunization times. The immunizations had a negative effect on weight gains of chickens to a certain degree but could be compensated during the “compensatory growth period” after immunity was established in the chickens. The number of oocysts excreted was positively correlated with the immunization dose. All the immunized chickens, whether they were immunized once or twice or immunized with different doses of sporulated oocysts, were able to resist attack from 1x105 virulent sporulated oocysts of E. necatrix. The lesion scoring showed that no significant difference existed in the chicken groups immunized with different doses (300 and 600) of sporulated oocysts. However, a difference existed in the immune homogeneity established in the different immunized groups, and two artificial immunizations were superior to one artificial immunization, indicating that two could extend the duration of oocyst excretion and allow more chances for the immunized chickens to become repeatedly infected.

ObjectiveTo analyze the relative influential factors of hearing rehabilitation of the deafened children with multichannel cochlear implant. Methods42 prelingually deafened children who accepted multichannel cochlear implant were evaluated with their hearing ability, hearing thresholds and talent level, while their family and usage of the multichannel cochlear were investigated. Results and ConclusionThe result shows that the factors influencing the hearing rehabilitation are the occupations of the parents, income of the family, the time between diagnosing deaf and the operation, the time after the cochlear implant operation and the talent level. The results of the logistic regression show that the deafened children can gain their hearing developing rapidly if they living in a family with high income, their mothers have accepted more education, and they accepted longer time of continuing hearing-aid, etc.

Introducing information-knowledge-wisdom transformation law and its four sub processes including information acquisition,recognition,decision and implementation,the paper summarizes the process of Evidence-based Medicine (EBM) information services,analyzes the scope of carrying out EBM information services by the hospital library under the guidance of new perspective,and discusses the specific forms of EBM information services by exampling the practice of EBM information services carried out by the library of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing University of Medical Sciences.

Objective To investigate the significance of helper T cell 1(Th1)/Th2 cytokines unbalance in children with hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulonephritis(HBV-GN).Methods The serum levels of interferon-gamma(IFN-?),interleukin-2(IL-2) and IL-4 were determined in 22 children with HBV-GN and 18 children with HBV by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),respectively,and the difference of Th1/Th2 cytokines in the 2 groups.Results Serum levels of IL-2 and IFN-? in children with HBV-GN were decreased(P

0.05),but urine levels of MIF in children HSPN increased significantly than those in normal controls(P

OBJECTIVE: To observe waveform differences among ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (ACS-oVEMP) elicited by different types of air conducted sound in normal young Chinese subjects. METHOD: Twenty-two adult volunteers (44 ears) were recruited as research subjects including 12 males and 10 females aged between 18 and 35. Five hundred Hz tone burst, 125 Hz tone burst and click were employed as stimulus for conventional ACS-oVEMP examinations in bilateral ears of each subject. The response rate, threshold, n I latency, p I latency, n I-p I latency interval, amplitude and inter-aural asymmetry were recorded and compared among groups. RESULT: The response rate was 100% (44/44) in 500 Hz tone burst group, 40.9% (18/44) in 125 Hz tone burst group and 29.6% (12/44) in click group There were statistical significant differences between the 500 Hz tone burst group and the other groups (P < 0.05). Waveform amplitude was the largest in the 500 Hz tone burst group (7.3 +/- 5.5) muV than that in the 125 Hz tone burst group (3.8 +/- 1.5) muV and that in the click group (5.8 +/- 1.3) muV, which had statistically significant differences between the former and the later two groups (P < 0.05). Other waveform parameters presented similar differeces. CONCLUSION ACS-oVEMP waveforms could be largely affected by different stimulus. 500 Hz tone burst was the best stimulus with highest response rate, biggest amplitude and therefore most easily recognizable waveform in ACS-oVEMP examination.

Objective To explore the most accurate T staging and optimal surgical method of lung adenocarcinoma of trans-lobe type, and to provide supportive diagnosis as well as therapeutic evidences for this disease. Methods A total of 192 postoperative patients, hospitalized in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 2008 to June 2013, who were diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma were recruited. Patients were divided into three groups according to the 7th edition of TNM staging criteria issued by the IASLC in 2009. A total of 163 patients with T2 stage were selected as Group T2, and 12 patients with T3 stage were selected as Group T3, both of which were considered as control groups. Other 17 pa?tients who were diagnosed as trans-lobe type of lung adenocarcinoma, were Group trans-lobe. The clinical data and progno?sis were compared between three groups. The trans-lobe type of lung adenocarcinoma was diagnosed based on imaging and pathological examination. Subtypes of trans-lobe lung adenocarcinoma were identified by referring to 2011 international mul?tidisciplinary classification standard of lung adenocarcinoma. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the prognosis of dif?ferent subtypes and surgical modus in patients with lung adenocarcinoma of trans-lobe type. Results By comparison, the postoperative survival rate was significantly lower in patients diagnosed with trans-lobe type of lung adenocarcinoma than that of Group T2 (P<0.05), and no significant difference in survival rate compared with Group T3 (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in survival rates between different surgical modus (P<0.05). Seventeen patients with trans-lobe type of lung adenocarcinoma consisted of four subtypes, including 8 solid predominant, 5 acinar predominant, 3 papillary predomi?nant and 1 invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma. There were no statistical significances in postoperative survival time and sur?vival rates between four subtypes. Conclusion The clinical stage of trans-lobe type of lung adenocarcinoma should be clas?sified as stage T3. Both pulmonary bilobectomy and lobectomy combined with resection of proximal invaded lobe can be used as effective surgical therapies for trans-lobe type of lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective To investigate the bone marrow morphology characteristics in patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS)and to evaluate the clinical value of bone marrow morphology examination in the diagnosis of SFTS.Methods The bone marrow morphology and clinical data of six newly diagnosed SFTS patients with positive test of novel bunyavirus infection admitted to Taizhou Hospital from July 2011 to November 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The increased ratio of lymphoid and monocytoid histiocytes (0.02 - 0.23 )and hemophagocytic phenomenon were observed in all of the six patients′ bone marrow smears.Two of the six cases were diagnosed with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)according to the clinical diagnosis criteria and the remaining four cases were defined as highly suspected HLH.Conclusions The progression of SFTS disease might be closely related with HLH induced by novel bunyavirus infection.Morphology examination of bone marrow smear is beneficial for the early differential diagnosis of SFTS.
