BACKGROUND: It has been confirmed that platelet aggregation defect presents in patients with hemorrhagic thrombopathy, and platelet membrane glycoproteins play a significant role in the process of platelet aggregation.OBJECTIVE: To observe the expression changes of platelet membrane glycoproteins between patients with hemorrhagic thrombopathy and healthy people.DESIGN: Case-control analysis.SETTING: Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology.PARTICIPANTS :① Seventy-nine patients with hemorrhagic thrombopathy who received treatment from January 2001 to March 2003 in the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology were enrolled in this study. The patients, including 31 male and48 femlae, averaged (35.76±14.14)years old. They all agreed to participate in this study and met with the diagnosis of hemorrhagic thrombopathy revised in 1996.Informed consents were obtained from all the patients and their relatives.The course of multiple bleeding symptoms was 1 to 14 years. And the bleeding sites were totally 167: extremity petechia was found in 64 cases, rhinorrhagia in 33 cases, hypermenorrhea (more than 150 mL in each cycle) in 29 cases, gingival bleeding in 28 cases, ocular fundus bleeding in 8 cases and conjunctival hemorrhage in 5 cases.②lnclusive criteria: All the cases presented clinical manifestation of multiple focal bleeding;The laboratory tests including platelet counts,bleeding time and coagulation profiles were examined with no marked abnormal changes;According to hemorrhage sites, the patients were examined by specialists of internal medicine,otorhinolaryngology, gynecology, stomatology and ophthalmology, and no specific diagnostic focuses of infection were found; They had normal blood pressure and heart rate,and those with thrombocytasthenia had been ruled out through ristocetin test. ③Another 34 healthy volunteer donors, 15 males and 19 females with an average age (30.12±7.14) years,were selected as normal control group.METHODS:① Detection of platelet aggregation ratio: Adenosine diphosphate (ADP, final concentration 1.90 μmol/L),arachidonic acid(AA, final concentration 0.37 μmol/L),and platelet activating factor(PAF, final concentration 150 nmol/L)were used as aggregation inductors, and Chronolog 430 type aggregometry was used to detect platelet maximum agglutination ratio.When maximum agglutination ratio was within 21％ and 40％, it was considered as aggregation defect, and when below 20％, it was considered as aggregation absence.② Test of platelet membrane glycoprotein: 3.6 mL cubital venous blood was drawn from the patients and mixed with 20 g/L disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid(EDTA-NA2) for the purpose of anticoagulation at 1:9, and the same procedure was performed on the blood samples from the normal control group. The plasma was isolated and collected, after being centrifuged, the supernatant liquid was discarded, and paraform was added to fix the rest of the platelet solution. The platelet concentration was adjusted to 3×107 L-1. 100 μL regulated platelet solution was extracted, and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-marked CD42b (anti-GP Ⅰ b),CD41 (anti-GP Ⅱ b), CD61 (anti-GP Ⅲ a), CD42b/CD42a (anti-GP Ⅰ b/Ⅸ ), CD41/ CD61 (anti-GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a) and CD62p(anti-P-selectin)clonal antibodies 200 μL were added respectively and well mixed,and then cultured for 30 minutes at room temperature away from light. Finally phosphate buffer solution was added to the solution till the volume reached 1 mL,and FACS420 flow cytometer was used to analyze the samples, one sample for 10000 platelets, and the results were demonstrated by positive fluorescence percentage.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Platelet aggregation ratio. ② Expression of platelet membrane glycoproteins.RESULTS:All the patients and the healthy subjects were involved in the analysis of results. ①All the cases were found to have platelet aggregation defect or absence which could be induced by single or more platelet aggregating agents. No abnormal platelet aggregations were found in the control group. ② The fluorescence intensities of GPIb/Ⅸ, GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲa complexes, GPIb, GPⅢa and P-selectin in patients with hemorrhagic thrombopathy were lower than those in the healthy subjects (t =2.50-5.57,all P ＜ 0.05). The fluorescence intensity of GP Ⅱb in patients with hemorrhagic thrombopathy was slightly higher than that in the healthy subjects, but no significant difference was found. (t =0.86, P ＞0.05).CONCLUSION: Abnormal expressions of platelet membrane glycoproteins may be partial pathogenesis of hemorrhagic thrombopathy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the epidemic features of childhood allergic rhinitis (AR) and correlative risk factors in Yinchuan. METHOD: A questionnaire survey on AR was conducted among 800 children in eight communities, aged from 5 to 14 years old, by random cluster sampling, from March 2012 to March 2013 in Yinchuan. Suspects of AR, as identified by the survey, were recommended to specialist examinations for accurate diagnosis. The results were statistically analyzed. RESULT: Seven hundred and sixteen questionnaires were returned and 662 questionnaires were available. The prevalence rate of AR in children aged from 5 to 14 is 14.65% in Yinchuan. Seventy-nine point thirty-eight percent children suffered from intermittent AR, while 20.61% children suffered from persistent AR. The difference of prevalence between female (13.57%) and male (15.44%) was insignificant statistically (Χ2=0.454, P>0.05). The difference of prevalence between the Han (15.72%) and the Hui (11.35%) insignificant statistically (Χ2=2.055, P>0.05). The prevalence of AR children aged five to nine years was 13.80%, as aged ten to fourteen years was 19.72%. There was a significante differece between two groups (Χ2=4.056, P<0.05). The most explosive outbreak month in children with allergic rhinitis was July to September. The most common allergens found in patients were seasonal plants: mugwort, weed, dandelion, cereal, locust, ragweed, and willow. Fifteen point forty-six percent patients with AR also had rhinitic, 14.43% patients had asthma and 14.43% patients had allergic conjunctivitis. The history of drug allergy accounted for 12.37% in patients with AR, and food allergy accounted for 26.80%. In allergic rhinitis risk factors, family history accounted for 30.92%, non-breastfeeding representing accounted for 34.02%, animal feeding history accounted for 19.59%; exposure to passive smoking accounted for 42.26%; domestic decoration accounted for 12.37%. There were significante difference between AR children and normal in family history and non-breastfeeding (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The prevalence rate of AR in children aged from 5 to 14 in Yinchuan is 14.45%. Strategy of prevention and treatment of AR should be worked out according to the epidemic feature of AR.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics and pathogenic microorganisms in culture-positive sepsis, to identify its risk factors, and evaluate the prognosis on polymicrobial infection in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods A descriptive retrospective study was conducted. Clinical data of patients aged≥ 18 years, diagnosed as culture-positive sepsis, and admitted to six ICUs of Guangdong General Hospital from October 12th, 2012 to December 1st, 2014 were enrolled. Based on the number of isolated pathogens, patients were divided into polymicrobial infection group (≥two pathogens) and monomicrobial infection group (one pathogen) to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with culture-positive sepsis and the causative pathogens. Multiple logistic regression was conducted to identify the risk factors for polymicrobial infection. Kaplan-Meier curve was plotted to analyze a 90-day survival rate from the onset of positive blood culture.Results 299 patients with positive blood culture were enrolled. A total of 450 strains of pathogens were isolated including 246 gram-positive cocci (54.67%), 167 gram-negative bacilli (37.11%) and 37 fungi (8.22%). Ninety-one patients had polymicrobial infection, and 208 with monomicrobial infection. Compared with monomicrobial infection group, patients suffering from polymicrobial infection had more advanced age (years: 73.19±18.02 vs. 60.83±18.06,t = -5.447,P = 0.000), also with higher incidence of cerebrovascular diseases [39.56% (36/91) vs. 17.79% (37/208),χ2 = 16.261,P = 0.000] or chronic renal insufficiency [15.38% (14/91) vs. 7.21% (15/208),χ2 = 4.828,P = 0.028], higher incidence of recent hospital stay (≥2 days) within 90 days [73.63% (67/91) vs. 61.54% (128/208),χ2 = 4.078,P = 0.043], longer mechanical ventilation duration [days: 4 (0, 17) vs. 1 (0, 6),U = 7 673.000,P = 0.006], longer length of hospital stay before blood was drawn for culture [days: 21 (7, 40) vs. 9 (3, 17),U = 6 441.500,P = 0.006], and higher incidence of pre-admission intravenous use of antibiotics [84.62% (77/91) vs. 66.83% (139/208),χ2 = 9.989,P = 0.002]. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age [odd ratio (OR) = 1.032, 95% confidential interval (95%CI) = 1.015-1.050,P = 0.000], cerebrovascular diseases (OR = 2.247, 95%CI = 1.234-4.090,P = 0.008), prolonged mechanical ventilation (OR =1.041, 95%CI = 1.014-1.069,P = 0.003), and recent hospital stay (≥2 days) within 90 days (OR = 1.968, 95%CI =1.079-3.592,P = 0.027) were the independent risk factors for polymicrobial infection. In the polymicrobial infection group, the length of ICU stay [days: 46 (22, 77) vs. 13 (7, 22),U = 3 148.000,P = 0.000] and hospital stay [days:81 (47, 118) vs. 28 (17, 46),U = 3 620.000,P = 0.000] were significantly longer, and the ICU mortality [65.93%(60/91) vs. 43.75% (91/208),χ2 = 12.463,P = 0.000] and hospital mortality [68.13% (62/91) vs. 45.67% (95/208),χ2 = 12.804,P = 0.000] were significantly higher, and on the other hand the 90-day survival rate was significantly lower than that in the monomicrobial infection group (χ2 = 8.513,P = 0.004).Conclusions The most common pathogen of ICU sepsis is gram-positive cocci. Independent risk factors for polymicrobial infections were found to be advanced age, occurrence of cerebrovascular disease, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and recent hospitalization. Polymicrobial infection is associated with longer length of ICU and hospital stay, as well as higher mortality.

Objective Vaccination is a most effective method for the prevention of severe diseases caused by pandemic influenza and microRNA ( miRNA) mediated gene silencing has offered a novel approach to the construction of new vaccines.Our study aimed to construct a recombinant influenza A ( H1 N1 ) virus with the PB1 gene that carries the target fragment of miRNA Let-7b. Methods After comparing the sequence of the A/Nanjing/108/2009 H1N1 viral fragments with that of Let-7b, we selected PB1 as the optimal gene sequence, inserted the Let-7b binding target gene into PB1, ligated the modified fragments with pDP 2000, and named the recombinant plasmids pDP-mu-PB1 and pDP-sclb-PB1, respectively.We co-transfected the MDCK and 293T cells with the recombinant and other seven plasmids and injected the supernatant into the allantoic cavity of the chickenembryo for virus propagation, followed by detection of the virus by hemagglutination ( HA) assay and measurement of the viral titer by TCID50 .We amplified the viral cRNA by RT-PCR and identified the viruses by agarose gel electrophoresis and nucleotide sequence analysis. Results PB1 was the optimal sequence ( 83 bp -107bp) for the attenuation of viruses.The HA-titers of miRT-H1N1 and scbl-H1N1 were 1∶32 and 1∶64, and their viral loads were 4.68 ×105 and 7.94 ×104 TCID50/mL, respectively.Nucleotide sequence analysis showed the expected fragment in the rescued virus. Conclusion A recombinant strain vaccine was successfully constructed, which has laid the foundation for fur-ther assessment of virulence.

Objective To understand websites of public hospitals in China.Methods Website search and appraisal were called into play to analyze the percentage and present conditions of websites built by public hospitals in Shanghai,Hubei Province and Gansu Province.Rusults The study found websites in less than 55％ of the public hospitals in these three areas.Those websites in operation provide instant information on hospitals and medical services,yet their online service functions are less satisfactory and website levels vary sharply.Conclusion The authors recommend the Chinese government encourage public hospitals to build websites and enhance their online services.
