Objective To explore the clinical significance of mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) antibody IgM positive with high titers.Methods Two hundred and sixty-seven cases of respiratory tract infections of MP with MP-IgM positive were confirmed in our hospital during Jun.2005 to Aug.2008,of which 63 cases with significantly increased titers of MP-IgM antibodies(MP-IgM≥1:1 280).A prospective observation and later analysis of the clinical manifestations of the 63 cases were carried out.Results 1.Among 63 cases,6 cases were diagnosed as upper respiratory tract infection,12 cases as acute bronchitis and 45 cases as pneumonia,respectively.2.The 63 cases pre-sented mainly with fever and cough,of them 59 cases had fever and 45 cases with paroxysmal cough,39 cases could be found crackles on physical examination.3.Extrapulmonary manifestations could be found in many cases,including heart complications in 21 cases,abnormal liver functions in 35 cases,gastrointestinal manifestations in 22 cases,neurological manifestations in 1 case,dermatological disorders in 7 cases and renal manifestations in 3 cases.4.Patterns of chest X-ray findings of the 63 cases with MP infections were varied,of which 45 cases showed pulmonary abnormality.Chest X-ray findings of the 45 children included 12 cases with interstitial infiltration,6 cases with lobar condensation,15 cases with patch shadows,4 cases with enlarged porta pulmonis and 8 cases with reticulonodular infiltrates.Three cases were complicated with pleural effusion and 2 children with segmental atelectasis.5.The cases were given azithromycin,10 mg/(kg?d),a daily dose for 5 days and intermitted for 4 days.All cases repeated the treatment courses for 1 to 4 times.The mean duration of fever was 6.6 days,cough could last 11.7 days and the crackles on physical examination could not be found 7.5 days later after treatment.The abnormality of chest X-ray findings dissolved in 38 cases 2-3 weeks later after treatment.Conclusions Cases of MP infections with high titers of MP-IgM positive had severe symptoms,of which more than 90% patients presenting with lower respiratory tract infections,mainly with pneumonia.Recovery of chest radiological finding was posterior to clinical improvement,so timely and regular chest X-ray examinations were essential after treatment and could avoid the false ceasing of treatment of the cases.Patients of MP infections with high titers of IgM antibodies positive have good prognosis.

Objective To analyze the trend of disease constitution of hospitalized neonates in China-Japan Friendship Hospital and provide a scientific basis for the focus adjustment of perinatal health.Methods Six hundred and ninety-eight neonates were admitted during Jan.2004 to Dec.2008.Relevant data of all cases were retrospectively collected.The discharge diagnosis of the neonates was counted accor-ding to the year,and the trends of the neonatal disease constitution of the 5 years were analyzed.Results 1.The first 10 diseases of hospita-lized neonates were centralized,and the first 3 diseases including premature infants,neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia accounted for 42.84% of the neonate diseases.2.The characteristics of neonatal disease constitution were as fo-llows:the disease constitution of premature infants always located within the first 3 diseases;the location of neonatal HIE went ahead from number 8 to number 1 or 2,and its constitution proportion increased from 4.93% to more than 15.00%(P

Objective To examine the inhibitory effect of Chinese herbal Compound Dongju on 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide(4NQO)-induced tongue carcinogenesis in rats. Methods A total of 85 Wistar rats were divided into four groups: model group(n=35),administration group(n=35),normal control group(n=5) and herb control group(n=10).4NQO dissolved in drinking water was administered orally to induce tongue carcinogenesis in rats.The herb compound was injected into the stomach of the rats during oral carcinogenesis.Rats were sacrificed at 9,13,20,24 and 32 weeks from the beginning of the experiment.The tongues of the rats were dissected for gross and histological assessment,and SP immunohistochemical method was also employed to detect the expression of cyclin D1 in the specimens. Results Compared with the model group,the incidence of dysplasia and the positive rate of cyclin D1 were suppressed by Compound Dongju(P

BACKGROUND: Primary progressive aphasia(PPA) is a degenerative disease of nervous system, which is very rare in clinics. Only 3 cases have been reported in our country. There is very little clinical information regarding the characteristics of PPA in linguistics and imageology.OBJECTIVE: To report the language disorder and the characteristics of imageology of one PPA patient for the clarification of the clinical features of PPA.DESIGN: A case analysis.SETTING: Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital; Faculty of Psychology, Beijing Normal University.PATICIPANT: Male, 56 years old, senior high school graduate, businessman before the onset of the disease. The case visited the department of Neurology,Tiantan Hospital, Beijing due to the complaint of three years of progressive decreasing in language skills, which was then diagnosed with PPA.METH ODS: Spoken language fluency evaluation in Chinese Aphasia Examination Set of the First Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Medical University was used to evaluate this patient, the type of Aphasia was judged by Western Aphasia Examination Set, and the severity gradation was classified by the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination(BDAE) . Memory, intelligence screening and imageology examination were performed as well.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The fluency of spoken language, the type of aphasia, and the severity of aphasia of the patient were judged, and whether the patient suffered from memory and intelligence disorder were observed as well as the features of imageology.RESULTS: The patient had fluent spoken language, which was evaluated as sensory aphasia(SA) with the aphasia severity of level 4, and had no memory or intelligence disorder. MRI showed atrophy in left frontal lobe and temporal lobe, which was more significant in left side. MRI also showed that left temporal and frontal lobes had low metabolism and low perfusion.CONCLUSION: PPA is a disease with language disorder as its dominant clinical manifestation, which no other cognitive disorder at its initial stage,and with its main pathological changes in left temporal and frontal lobes.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery in treating varicose ulcer after great saphenous vein stripping.Methods Between July 2008 and July 2013,152 limbs of venous ulceration after great saphenous vein stripping were divided into two groups (conservative therapy and subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery therapy) and followed up at least for 2 years,respectively compared symptoms and signs improvement,ulcer healing time,ulcer healing and ulcer recurrence rate after healing for 6,12,24 months.Results No patient underwent the surgery occured pulmonary embolism or death,2 limbs appeared hematoma.Conservative and subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery group's symptoms and signs improvement rates were 81.9％ (59/72) and 86.3％ (69/80) (not significant,P =0.528),while the ulcer healing time,ulcer healing and ulcer recurrence rate respectively were 65.3％ (47/72) and 78.8％ (63/80),(73 ±15.7) d and (41 ± 12.6) d,34.0％ (16/47) and 14.3 ％ (9/63) (significantly different,P ＜ 0.05).According to the three time-points' (6,12,24 months) follow-up,the non-recurrence rate were 89.4％ (42/47) and 96.8％ (61/63),P=0.135;72.3％ (34/47) and 92.1％ (58/63),P=0.006;66.0％ (31/47) and 85.7％ (54/63),P =0.014.Conclusions Subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery is a reliable,safe and minimally invasive surgery,and has a long-term effect in treating varicose ulcer after great saphenous vein stripping.
