Objective To evaluate the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) on peripheral blood and adenoid in children with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and adenoidal hypertrophy ,to investigate the mechanism of IL-6 on the occurrence and development of CRS .Methods A total of 216 cases of hypertrophic adenoids were collected ,including 95 CRS children with hypertrophic adenoid (CRS group) ,70 children with allergic rhinitis and hypertrophic adenoid (AR group)and 51 children with hypertrophic adenoid (control group) .The plasma IL-6 concentrations were detected by ELISA ,and the expression and distribution of IL-6 in adenoid tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry .Results The plasma IL-6 level in CRS group was (49 .8 ± 8 .3)pg/mL ,significantly higher than that of in control group (33 .6 ± 6 .9)pg/mL and in AR group (35 .9 ± 5 .6)pg/mL ,differences had statistic significance ( P< 0 .05) .However ,there was no statistically significant difference between AR group and control group .Meanwhile ,the presence of IL-6 in adenoid tissue was mainly seen in inflammation cells and fibroblasts while less in mesenchymal cells ,there were statistical differences between CRS group and control group/AR group (P< 0 .05) ,but no statistical difference between AP group and control group(P> 0 .05) .Conclusion Among children with CRS ,expression of IL-6 whether in peri-plasma or in focal tissue was higher than those without CRS ,demonstrating that IL-6 may play an important role in the pathogenesis and developemnt of CRS in chil-dren .

AIM:To demonstrate the relationship between hormones in follicular fluid and the expression of LH receptor in granulosa cells(GC) in anovulatory women with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).METHODS: Follicles were obtained from 12 women with PCOS and 15 women with normal menstrual period through surgery at time between day 7 and day 10 of menstrual cycle.The accumulations of estrogen(E2),progesterone(P),luteinizing hormone(LH),follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) and insulin in follicular fluid were determined by a automatism chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay(CMIA) for the quantitative determination.The accumulation of androstenediol(A) was determined by ELISA.The amounts of the mRNA expressions of LH receptors from GC and theca cells(TC) respectively were measured by RT-PCR using ?-actin as intra-control simultaneously.RESULTS: The levels of LH [(3.8?2.1 vs 1.7?0.8)IU/L,P

Objective To investigate selcnium(Se) levels of environment and human body in Gaomi City and Zichuan District of Shandong. Methods Lijiaying Township in Gaomi City of Weifang City, Zhaili Township and Longquan Township in Zichuan District of Zibo City were selected. Two farming soil samples at different spot, local wheat and corn, residents nail samples from 3 to 4 families were collected in each natural village in the investigated towns. The contents of Se were detected by 2,3-diamino naphthalene fluorescence method. Results Se level of the soil, wheat, corn, and nails in Lijiaying [(0.054 ± 0.019), (0.022 ± 0.009), (0.018 ± 0.007), (0.365 ± 0.108)mg/kg] was significantly lower than that in Zhaili [(0.425 ± 0.080), (0.130 ± 0.043), (0.098 ± 0.026), (0.751 ± 0.134)mg/kg] and Longquan[(0.487 ± 0.153), (0.112 ± 0.030), (0.097 ± 0.029), (0.735 ± 0.145)mg/kg;P < 0.01]. In Lijiaying, Se was deficient in soil, wheat, corn(< 0.200, < 0.025 mg/kg), above Se deficiency diagnosis and below Se-adequate level in the nail, while in Zhaili and Longquan, the Se level in the soil (0.425, 0.487 mg/kg), wheat(0.130, 0.112 mg/kg), corn (0.098, 0.097 mg/kg), nails (0.751, 0.735 mg/kg) was adequate (≥0.400 mg/kg). Conclusions The external environment is Se-deficient in Lijiaying, Se-adequate in Longquan and Zhaili. The selenium level in human body is consistent with the external environment.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of dantrolone sodium capsules in thethrombolytic therapy of acute stroke.Methods One hundred and thirty-six patients with acute stroke were randomly divided into control and treatment groups with 68 cases per group. Control group was given routine thrombolytic therapy + low molecular weight heparin calcium 0. 4 m L per, q12 h, subcutaneous injection for 10 days + aspirin 100 mg per time, qd, orally for 3 months.Treatment group was given dantraline sodium capsules 25 mg per time, qd, orally for 3 months after thrombolytic therapy, on the basis of control group. The clinical efficacy, American institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) scores and adverse drug reactions were compared between two groups. Results After treatment, the total effective rates of treatment and control groups were 77. 94％ (53 cases/68 cases) and 54. 41％ (37 cases/68 cases) with significant difference (P < 0. 05) . The NIHSS scores of treatment and control groups were (16. 07 ± 1. 18) and (18. 27 ± 1. 21) at 7 days after thrombolytic therapy, and those were (12. 15 ± 1. 06) and (16. 84 ± 1. 10) at 3 months after thrombolytictherapy. The differences were statistically significant between two groups (all P < 0. 05) . The adverse drug reactions of control group were gastrointestinal reaction, hematuria, sleepiness and asymptomatic cerebral hemorrhage, which in treatment group were gastrointestinal reaction, lethargy, fatigue, dizziness, asymptomatic cerebral hemorrhage and hematuria. The total incidences of adverse drug reactions in treatment and control groups were 17. 65％ and 13. 24％without significant difference (P> 0. 05) . Conclusion Dantraline sodium capsule is effective in thrombolytic therapy for acute stroke, without increasing the incidence of adverse drug reactions.

OBJECTIVESTo investigate the effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on the sperm acrosin activity in normal men and positive antisperm antibody (AsAb) men.

METHODSSperm acrosin activity was detected by BAEE/ADH method.

RESULTSGABA could increase the sperm acrosin activity in normal and AsAb positive patients (P < 0.01). The results also indicated that GABA significantly increased Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity (P < 0.01), Ca(2+)-ATPase activity (P < 0.05) and SOD activity (P < 0.01) of sperm.

CONCLUSIONSThe results demonstrated that GABA could influence the sperm acrosin activity.

OBJECTIVETo explore the association between genetic polymorphisms of TGF-beta (TGF-beta) and susceptibility to pneumoconiosis.

METHODSOne hundred and seventeen patients with pneumoconiosis were selected as case. The control group was workers exposed to dust but without pneumoconiosis who had the same sex, nationality, and workshop or work site as case. The differences in the age and cumulative exposure time between the case and control group were not move than five years and two years, respectively. The case matched with the control according to 1:1. Polymerase chains reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to determine the frequencies of TGF-beta genes in the two groups.

RESULTSThe frequencies of this TGF-beta (-509) genotypes were CC (22.2%), CT (43.6%) and TT (34.2%) in cases, which was significantly different from the control group, respectively (OR = 1.390, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference for frequency of TGF-beta+869 genotypes and allelic between case and control (P > 0.05). The frequencies of the TGF-beta (+915) genotypes in case [GG (70.9%), GC (29.1%)] were significantly different from the control group (OR = 1.455, P < 0.05). The frequency of TGF-beta (+915) * C allele in the case and control was 14.5% and 8.5%, respectively (P < 0.05). The frequencies of carrying TGF-beta (-509) CC and (+915) GG genotypes were 12.8% and 29.9% in case and control. The frequencies of carrying TGF-beta (-509) * T and (+915) * C alleles were 9.8% and 5.1% in pneumoconiosis and control (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSTGF-beta (-509)CC genotype may be the protective factor for the pneumoconiosis. TGF-beta (+915)GC genotype may be a susceptible factor for the pneumoconiosis. The workers of carrying TGF-beta (-509) * T and (+915) * C alleles are more susceptible to pneumoconiosis.
