This study is to investigate the clinical effects of intravenous high dose of gamma immunoglobulin(IG) in treatment of Kawasaki disease(KD). A total of 21 children with KD were treated with high dose of gamma IG intravenously.The result showed that it was more effective when adding high dose of gamma IG than aspirin alone( P

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the regularity and characteristics of adverse drug reactions (ADR) occurred in our hospital. METHODS:A total of 208 ADR cases (207 cases were valid) reported by clinical departments of our hospital were analyzed statistically in respect of patients' age and sex,routes of administration,causal relationship assessment and extent of ADR,ADR types and clinical manifestations,etc. RESULTS:Of the 207 valid ADR cases,38.65% of them aged between 30 and 49; intravenous route accounted for 87.92% in terms of the incidence rate of ADR; anti-infective drug accounted for 53.62%. The most common clinical manifestations of ADR were the lesions of skin and its appendants,which accounted for 59.91%. CONCLUSION:Anti-infective drugs and intravenously injected drugs should be used rationally to reduce the incidence of ADR.

Objective:To discuss CTL response to the hepatitis B viral nucleic acid vaccine in mice.Methods:The recombinant plasmid containing HBV S gene was directly injected intramusculary into BALB/C mice.HBsAb in sera was checked with ELISA.The recombinant plasmid was transfected P815 cells by liposome and screened by G418.Splenocytes were isolated for investigating specific CTL response. Results:HBsAb in sera of mice was tested after pcDHBs injection.HBsAg was detected in culture medium of the transfected P815 cells. Compared mice injected with pcDNA3.1,the specific CTL cytotoxity activity of mice immunized with pcDHBs was significantly enhanced.Conclusion:HBV nucleic acid vaccine could stimulate humoral immunity and CTL response of the mice.

Objective To study the expression of connexin (Cx) genes and the effects of a variety of inducers on the expression changes of Cx and mutations of Cx coding sequences in human gastric cancer. Methods Northern Blot, RT PCR and PCR single strand conformational polymorphism were used. Results 1.There were regular expression patterns of Cx genes in human normal gastric epithelium, paracancerous tissues and gastric cancers. 2.RA and DMSO can induce the expression of Cx43 in gastric cancer and decrease of Cx46 expression by RA and TPA induction. 3.There was no any mutation in Cx43 coding sequences. Conclusion 1.Cx32 gene may be a specific gene in genome of gastric epithelium constructing gap junctional intercellular communication. 2.Cx43 is a inducible gene in gastric cancer cells. 3.The down regulation of Cx43 expression is not caused by mutation of Cx coding sequences in human gastric cancers. 4.The authors proposed a hypothesis on the variation of expression of Cx genes in human gastric cancer.

0bjective To observe the different brain activation of acupuncture and electroacupuncture on healthy subjects and healthy subjects.Methods The different brain activation involved in heroin addiction between healthy subjects and addicts was detected by fMRI.Acupuncture point used in present study Was Zusanli (ST 36).Results Different brain activations between healthy subjects and addicts during electroacupuncture were hypothalamus(X0,Y2,Z9,t=7.36,P<0.01),anterior cingulate(X5,Y49,Z8,t=4.11,P<0.01),tempo-ral gyrus(X61,Y12,Z8,t=3.05,P<0.01).The difference of activated regions during conventional acupuncture between healthy subjects and heroin addicts was thalamus(X2,Y16,Z12,t=2.87,P<0.01),parahippocampus (X17,Y52,Z3,t=3.14,P<0.01),and hypothalamus(X0,Y2,Z9,t=6.98,P<0.01).Conclusion Regions with significant activation detected by fMRI are different during acupuncture in heroin addicts and in the healthy subjects.Notably,the hypothalamus activation is more robust in the addicts than in the healthy subjects during ac-upuncture stimulation.

Objective To evaluate the application of tubular stomach gastroesophagostomy on the life quality after esophagectomy surgery.Methods From March 2011 to September 2011,66 cases of esophageal cancer patients were divided in two groups in randomized principles.Tirty-four cases in group of tubiform gastro surgery whose the stomach was cut into tubiform stomach in width of 4 cm.And 32 cases of conventional group and whose surgery method was adopted to maintain whole stomach but cut the cardia.And then,using statistical methods,life quality after esophagectomy (treatment related symptoms,general symptoms,daily life,social life,emotional activities) and the perioperative complications were evaluated in 3,6,12,24 months in comparison and analysis.Results Sixty-six surgeries of both group patients were successfully performed,tumor resection rate was 100％,and there was no intraoperative accident also no perioperative death.There was no statistical significance of perioperative complications of 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).Life quality of tubiform gastro group had improved apparently more than conventional group at the 3rd,6th,12th and 24th month after surgery(78.68 ±2.23 vs 65.94± 4.13,83.79 ± 2.40 vs 66.84 ± 5.86,86.41 ± 1.94 vs 67.09 ± 4.43,89.02 ± 1.71 vs 68.88 ±3.53,P＜0.05).At each time point,there were statistically significant differences between tubiform gastro group and conventional group on treatment related symptoms,general symptoms,daily life,emotion activities (P ＜0.05).At the 3rd,6th month after surgery,tubiform gastro group and the conventional group had no statistically significant difference in the aspect of social life (P＞0.05).In the conventional group,the evaluation of quality of life at each time point after surgery and before a point in time in the same group showed no statistical significance (P＞0.05).Conclusion Tubiform gastro esophagectomy has a positive influence on life quality of patients of esophageal cancer after surgery prospectively.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and its underlying mechanis m of bisphenol-A (BPA)exposure on spine and synapse formation in detate gyrus (DG)area of hippoca mpus during criti-cal develop mental period.METHODS Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were injected intraperitoneally with BPA (50,250 and 500 μg·kg -1·d -1 )fro m postnatal day 7 (PND7)to PND14.Dendritic spine morphol-ogy in DG area was exa mined using Golgi-Cox staining method and determined with I mage J software. Western blotting method was e mployed to test the Wnt related proteins.RESULTS The spine density and the average spine head size in BPA exposed groups significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner when co mpared to control group(P<0.05).Meanwhile,Wnt related proteins were affected dur-ing BPA exposure.Specifically,the percentage of phosphorylated β-catenin increased following BPA ex-posure (P<0.05),whereas Wnt7a expression level was significantly decreased and Wnt5a expression level increased (P<0.05).CONCLUSION Wnt signaling pathway plays an i mportant role in BPA-in-duced i mpairments in spine and synapse formation.
