Objective To investigate the clinical value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT)in the diagnosis of focal pulmonary ground-glass opacity nodules(fGGO)of 1 cm or less.Methods The MSCT examination data of 95 patients with subcentimeter fGGO was analyzed and compared with pathology results.The different pathological types of fGGP lesion size,internal solid component size,mixed type ground glass nodules (mGGO)proportion and pleural sag,lesion shape,grave leaves,burr,cavitation and the boundary conditions were compared. According to the relationship of the lesions and the surrounding blood vessels,3 types were classified,and the relationship of fGGO and blood vessel were analyzed.Results The minimal lesion was 0.41 cm of 95 cases and the maximum was 0.99 cm.There was statistically signifi-cant difference in the lesion size,solid component sizes,mGGO and lobulation occupied the percentage of the group before infiltrating and the adenocarcinoma group (P <0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in pleural indentation,lesion shape,burr,vacuoles and boundary conditions (P >0.05).The difference was statistically significant in the leaflet occupied the percentage of the benign group com-pared with the adenocarcinoma group,and the differences of the remaining features were not statistically significant compared with the adeno-carcinoma group(P >0.05).According to the relstionship between fGGO and the vessels,patients in the benign group were type Ⅰ or typeⅡ,type Ⅲ was found in 10 cases of the group before infiltrating (25.6%),and type Ⅲ in 17 cases of the adenocarcinoma group (39.5%), the proportion of type Ⅲ of the group before infiltrating and the adenocarcinoma group was higher than that of the benign group (P <0.05). Conclusion The qualitative diagnosis of pulmonary fGGO is difficult,and the relationship between the morphology of the lesions under the MSCT and the surrounding vessels have some value for the diagnosis of the lesions.

Ketotifen, a benzocycloheptathiophene, has an orally effective antiallergic as well as antihistaminic properties. In pervious studies, Ketotifen has shown encouraging results on patient with allergic rhinitis, either perennial or seasonal. 39 patients with allergic rhinitis had been treated with Ketotifen 1 mg twice daily for 8 weeks. And we obtained following results. 1) The efficacy rate in sneezing attack was 73.5%, in nasal discharge 71%, in nasal obstruction 58%. 2) Some improvements in at least one of three-major symptoms were noted within 1 week in 30.7%, within 2 weeks in 55.8%, within 3 weeks in 66.7%, within 8 weeks in 87.2%. 3) Physical findings such as colour, swelling of turbinate, character of rhinorrhea were not improved significantly. 4) Side effect was observed only in one patient with abdominal pain and diarrhea, which was subsided after interruption of administration. These results suggested that Ketotifen was effective in treatment of allergic rhinitis.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristic of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-1-positive bacteria in China and explore its mechanism of drug-resistance.Methods The published papers from 2010 to 2015 about domestic blaNDM-1 were collected and analyzed according to the bacteria species,regional distribution,NDM-1-positive bacteria,infectious source,drug-resistance spectra and transfer mechanism.Results NDM-1-positive bacteria were isola-ted from 25 provinces (municipalities)in China,Guangdong Province was predominant and accounted for 39.49%(P <0.05).The number of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae were predominant in the NDM-1-positive bacteria (P <0.05).Number of patients under the age of ten and among 60 -80 years which infected by NDM-1-positive bacteria were predominant of all the reported patients(P <0.05).The most kinds of samples and diseases were sputum sample (P <0.05)and pulmonary diseases(P <0.05).NDM-1-positive bacteria which found in China had the lowest resistance to amikacin and tigecycline accounted for 7.69% and 2.33%(P <0.05).Conclusion Antibiotic resistant bacteria with NDM-1 resistant gene have become a global public health problem,and significant difference among age,districts and sources,which need active surveillance and more studies to find how it happens and epidemic in the future.

Objective To evaluate the differential diagnosis value of enhanced multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) scan on adrenal adenoma and metastases in patients with malignant tumor.Methods Thirty-nine malignant tumor patients complicated with adrenal nodules were chosen, and all patients underwent MSCT plain scan and enhanced scan.Features of adrenal adenomas and metastases of MSCT enhanced were analyzed.Results Forty-nine adrenal gland nodules were found in 39 patients, and 35 adrenal metastasis were found in 25 patients.They were shown quasi-circular, oval or irregular shaped nodules.The average diameter was (2.6 ± 0.7) cm.Part of them were uneven density, and the CT value of the solid part was (32.8 ± 6.1) Hu.The solid part of tumor in enhancement scanning arterial phase was underwent mild to moderate strengthening, and the CT value was (49.5 ±6.9)Hu.The solid part of tumor was underwent further strengthen scanning in the venous phase, and the CT value was (74.9 ±8.0)Hu.The average CT value of solid part in after 3 min scanning tumor was (72.4 ± 7.6) Hu.Fourteen adrenal adenomas were found in 14 patients.CT value was (19.6 ± 4.5) Hu, and tumor diameter was (1.8 ± 0.4) cm.Enhanced scanning the tumors showed mild to moderate homogeneous enhancement in arterial phase, the CT value was (43.8 ± 8.1) Hu.Venous phase enhanced obviously, the average of CT value was (67.7 ±9.2)Hu.The strong degree in the delay period was decreased significantly, the average value of CT was (55.9 ± 8.8) Hu.The adrenal metastasis tumor diameter (t =4.006, P ＜ 0.001), CT value of plain scan (t =7.320, P ＜ 0.001), CT value of arterial phase enhanced scan (t =2.486, P =0.017) , venous phase enhanced scan (t =2.727, P =0.009) and CT value of the delay period (t =6.653, P ＜ 0.001) were higher than those in adrenal adenoma.Conclusion Enhanced MSCT scan can reflect the hemodynamic changes of adrenal lesions, and provide the bases for the differential diagnosis of enhanced MSCT scan on adrenal adenoma and metastases in patients with malignant tumor.

Objective To study the effect of the extract of Chrysanthemum Indicum(CI)on the expression of tumor necro-sis factor-α (TNF-α) and neutrophil function in chronic bronchitis (CB)rats and to explore the therapeutic mechanism for chronic bronchitis. Methods The extract of CI was prepared. Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank control group, model group, Chuanxiling group, and low-, middle-and high-dose CI extract groups. Rat model of CB was established by intratracheal injection with low-dose lipopolysaccharide. After drug intervention, the expression of TNF-α in rat serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was detected by ELISA method. Phagocytic function of the neu-trophil and respiratory burst of the rats were measured by flow cytometry (FCM). Results Compared with the blank con-trol group, the phagocytic function of the neutrophil, respiratory burst of the rats, and the expression of TNF-α in rat serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the model group were increased significantly. CI extract significantly decreased the abnormal rising of the above indexes. Conclusion Down-Regulation of TNF-α expression, and decrease of the neutrophil phagocytic function and rat respiratory burst may be one of the therapeutic mechanisms of Chrysanthemum In-dicum extract for the treatment of CB.

Mice was stimulated by peptidoglycan from Lactobacillus sp and detect cytokines production。It was found that PG induced the production of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1,TNF-? in peritoneal macrophages,IFN-? in spleen cell)and did not induce the IL-2 production in spleen cell. Affymetrix MOE430A genechip was used to analyze changed gene expression of immune cells. It was found that expression of cytokines and related genes were changed under peptidoglycan administration. This might induced by activation of TLR-NF-?B signal pathway.
