Recurrent respiratory tract infection (RRTI) is a common chronic respiratory disease of children.The pathogenesis is complex,etiology and treatment methods are varied.Probiotics are immune modulators with extensive clinical application.This paper reviewed the changes of intestinal microflora in children with recurrent respiratory tract infection and the mechanisms of probiotic treatment including intestinal flora regulation,intestinal mucosal barrier,stimulation of the growth of intestinal mucosa and immune regulation.

Objective To observe tree shrews gastrointestinal glucagon like peptide 1 ( glp-1 ) immune response positive cells ( EG cells) distribution and the difference of the digestive tract of rats.Methods Immunohisto chemical SABC method to detect tree shrews diges-tive tract (except for oral cavity, pharynx) glp-1 cells positive content.Results EG cells distributed in tree shrews duodenum,ileum and colon,glandular epithelial cells of jejunum,positive material is distributed in the cytoplasm.Tree shrews stomach,rectum did not see EG cell distribution.Ileal immune dyeing results show positive,EG cells of the digestive tract,only the ileum and colon distribution glp-1 more posi-tive, tree shrews compared with the rats in the digestive tract glp-1 significant difference (P<0.01).Conclusion Gastrointestinal tree shrew in duodenum,ileum and colon,jejunum have glucagon positive cells.The rat only have positive cells in the ileum and colon.According to the mechanism of the glp-1 and the distribution of tree shrews gastrointestinal glp-1,tree shrews atherosclerosis ( atherosclerosis,AS) AS the model is not easy to make may be associated with the role of glp-1.

BACKGROUND:Human-mammal chimeric liver chimera has been a vital significance for the proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
OBJECTIVE:To establish an animal model of human-rhesus chimeric liver using adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS:Adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated, purified and cultured for the sixth generation. The number of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was no less than 5×108. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells labeled with green fluorescent protein were transplanted into the liver of the embryo rhesus with pregnancy of 10 weeks under guided by type-B ultrasound. At the 1st and 3rd months of birth, the liver tissue of the infant rhesus was taken for biopsy. After routine pathological section, histological specimens were observed under fluorescence microscope to confirm if there were adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells positive for green fluorescent protein and their distribution, and detected by immunohistochemical staining to identify if human albumin expressed in the liver of infant rhesus.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Fluorescence microscope observation indicated that at the 1st and 3rd months after birth, there were surviving bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells derived from human with green fluorescence in the liver of infant rhesus, and these cells migrated to form more concentrated distribution. The immunohistochemical results demonstrated that functional liver cells expressing human albumin were observed in the liver of infant rhesus at the 1st and 3rd months after birth, and their distribution was in accordance with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with green fluorescence. Human-rhesus chimeric liver can be established using adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, which can generate functional liver cells in the liver of infant rhesus.

Objective To study the features of esophageal motility in the cases with myasthenia gravis(MG).Methods 15 healthy controls and 45 patients with MG were tested by using a low-compliance four-lumen hydraulic infusion system,respectively.Focused on the following parameters:PP,UESP,UEP,MEP and MERP.Results There were significant differences of the parameters in between MG cases and healthy controls PP (73.24 ± 31.40) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) vs.(103.78±29.47) mmHg,P=0.002;UESP(41.75 ±21.04) mmHg vs.(60.59 ±17.97) mmHg,P=0.003;UEP (56.63 ±30.26) mmHg vs.(78.98 ±30.14) mmHg,P =0.016;MEP(53.96 ±23.25) mmHg vs.(75.11 ±23.75) mmHg(P =0.004).However,MERP of MG cases or healthy controls seemed to be similar[(-7.76 ± 5.94) mmHg vs.(-7.58 ± 5.76) mmHg,P =0.91).Additionally,the above-mentioned parameters in the cases with generalized myasthenia gravis or dysphagia were significantly different compared with other subtypes or healthy controls (P ＜ 0.01).However,there were no significant differences of the parameters in between ocular MG and healthy controls,or in between MG with and without thymoma.Conclusion The upper and middle part of esophageal motility dysfunction is very common in MG cases,especially in those with dysphagia or generalized MG,characterizing by the declined pressure.Manometry in MG cases can help us classify the subtypes of MG and verify their esophageal motility functions.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of amifostine in prevention of nephrotoxicity induced by cisplatinum(DDP) METHODS:46 patients with malignant tumors were randomly divided into two groups:23 in chemotherapy and amifostine group(trial group)and 23 in single chemotherapy group(control group) Laboratory exmination indices such as blood routine,blood calcium,liver function,blood urea nitrogen,cretinine,and urinary ?1-microglobulin(?1-MG),albumin(Alb) and transferrin(TRF) were monitored at different time period points before and after treatment RESULTS:20 patients in each group completed the whole trial In the two periods of therapy,the peak values of ?1-MG,Alb and TRF of trial group were lower than those of control group(P
