Objective To explore the chest features of patients with the novel influenza type A H1N1 on HRCT. Methods One hundred and seventy-two chest HRCT examinations on 163 cases with Influenza type A H1N1 (9 cases were reexamed) were retrospectively analyzed using standard pulmonary window and mediastinal window, respectively. HRCT imaging appearances were summarized. Results Ninety-seven cases showed normal on chest HRCT, while the others showed abnormalities of parenchymal and interstitial. Among them, HRCT identified ground-glass opacity in 35 cases (53.0%), centrilobular nodules in 30 cases (45.5%), thickening of intralobular septa in 31 cases (47.0%), intralobular thin reticulation and micro-nodule in 8 cases (12.1%), single-lobular inflammation in 19 cases (28.8%), consolidation of lung(the large consolidation and multiple small consolidations)in 15 cases (22.7%), pulmonary atelectasis in 3 cases (4.5%), and irregular lines in 2 cases (3.0%). Pleurisy was also revealed including 8 cases with right pleurisy, 5 cases with left pleurisy, and 19 cases with bilateral pleurisy. Mediastinal and axillary lymphadenopathy were found in 7 cases, who were spared of pleural effusion. All above abnormalities resolved quickly after anti- virus treatment. Conclusion Parenchymal and interstitial abnormalities, mediastinum and axillary fossa lymphadenopathy, and pleural effusion were the common findings on HRCT in patients with Influenza type A H1N1, which were similar to those of other viral pneumonia.

4.Study on Growth and Toxin Production of Microcystis aeraginosa Strain Under Different Conditions
Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(04):-
Objective To study the impact of temperature, light, nitrogen and phosphorus on growth and microcystin-LR production of Microcystis aeraginosa strain under laboratory conditions. Methods M.aeraginosa strain was cultivated in BG-11 medium. Growth was determined by counting cell, while microcystin-LR was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Results M.aeraginosa strain had a biggest growth rate at temperature of 25 ℃ and light intensity of 3 000 lx, while microcystin-LR production contents reached maximum at 20 ℃ and 5 000 lx respectively. Under the phosphorus-fixed condition, M. aeraginosa amount and mircrocystin-LR content increased by nitrogen concentration and reached the peak when the nitrogen concentration was 650.0 ?mol/L. But higher concentration of nitrogen could probably restrain the cell growth and toxin production. Under the nitrogen-fixed condition, M. aeraginosa strain grew slowly at phosphorus concentration of 1.43 ?mol/L, but had a higher growth rate when phosphorus concentration was 6.50 ?mol/L. No significant change was found with the increase of phosphorus concentration. And almost similar contents of microcystin-LR produced by M. aeraginosa were observed at different phosphorus concentrations. Positive correlations between total microcystin-LR concentrations and chlorophyll-a contents and M. aeraginosa cell densities were found. Conclusion The optimum conditions for growth and toxin production of M. aeraginosa are not the same. Phosphorus is a probable limitation nutrient factor, and a low concentration will satisfy the growth and toxin production of M. aeraginos. The N∶P atomic ratio at 100∶1 was determined as the optimum for growth and toxin production. The total microcystin-LR concentration can be forecasted by M. aeraginosa cell density or chlorophyll-a content.

Objective:To study the change of tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) , interlukin-1?(IL-1?) and interluldn-6(IL-6) in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) ,and analyze the relation between their levels and the severity of HIE. Methods :TNF-?,IE-? and IL6 in the plasma and in the supernatant of cultured peripheral blood mononuclearcytes(PBMC) were mesured in 50 neonates with HIE and 30 normal term neonates by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: TNF-?and IL-?plasma levels and the production by PBMC in neonates with FILE were markedly elevated than those in normal controls Levels of TNF-?,IL-?and IL-6 both in the plasma and the supernatant of PB-MC were much higher in acute stage of severe HIE compared with the control group and mild HIE, and plasma levels of TNF-a and IL-? were significantly decreased in convalescence stage, but IL-6 levels were still much higher than those in normal controls. Conclusion:TNF-? and IL-? plasma levels and the production by PBMC in neonates with I-LIE axe related to the severity of HIE, and IL-6 may participate in the repair of neurons after ischemic brain injuly. These cytokines can be indicators of the brain damage degree of IDE.

Objective To evaluate the changes and clinical significance of CD+4CDHi25CDLo127 regulatory T cell(Treg) in peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer. Methods 30 patients with lung cancer and 20 heathy volunteers were included in this study. The proportion of Treg population in CD4+ T cells stained with three colors was analysed by flow cytometry. The serum level of IL-10 and TGF-β were measured by ELISA. Results The proportion of Treg in patients with squamous cell careinoma(n=20), adenocarcinoma (n=10) were all significantly higher than that of healthy controls (P <0.05), but there was not obvious difference between the two groups with different pathological types(P0.05). Increased serum level of IL-10 and TGF-β was also detected in lung cancer patients. Conclusion The proportion of Treg is increased in lung cancer patients, which may result in the inhibition of host anti-cancer immune response by excreting IL-10 and TGF-β.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes in the fibrinolytic system during and after open heart surgery performed with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the effect of epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA) on fibrinolysis, postoperative blood loss and transfusion requirements.Methods Forty patients (24 males, 16 females) aged 17-43 yr undergoing valve replacement with CPB were randomized to receive EACA 200 mg?kg-1 (group A) or normal saline (group B) added to the priming solution. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular morphine 0.2 mg?kg-1 and scopolamine 0.3 mg. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.2 mg ? kg, fentanyl 10 ?g?kg-1 and vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg-1 and maintained with isoflurane inhalation and intermittent i.v. boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium. The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT = 10 ml?kg-1 , RR = 10-12 bpm, I:E = 1:2) after tracheal intubation. Blood samples were taken before skin incision (baseline) , 8 and 30 min on CPB, 10 min after protamine administration and 2 h after operation for determination of tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) activity, plasmin (Plm) activity and D-dimer. The amount of blood drained from chest and bank blood infused within 24 h after operation were recorded.Results (1) Group B (control group): PAI activity was maintained stable perioperatively. The t-PA activity and t-PA/PAI ratio increased significantly during operation but returned to the baseline value 2 h after operation. D-dimer level also significantly increased during and after operation. The Plm activity increased significantly at 8h on CPB and 10 min after protamine administration compared to the baseline value. (2) The t-PA activity and t-PA /PAI ratio were significantly lower in group A than in group B. The D-dimer level and Plm activity were also significantly lower in group A than in group B during and after operation. The amount of blood loss and bank blood infused within 24 h after operation was 40% and 37% less than that in group B.Conclusion Fibrinolytic system is activated during CPB as shown by the increase in plasminogen and t-PA/PAI ratio. EACA is effective in reducing postoperative blood loss and blood transfusion through inhibition of the activation of fibrinolytic system.
