Bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)is a serious complication of respiratory system in preterm infants.The etiology and pathogenesis are complex and have not been clarified yet.In recent years, studies have shown that there is a certain relationship between respiratory microecology and BPD.Before premature infants develop BPD, their respiratory tract microecology has changed, including abnormal microbial diversity and evolution pattern.Therefore, research on the colonization and evolution of neonatal respiratory tract microecology and its relationship with BPD is expected to provide new ideas for its prevention and treatment.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is an acute skin inflammation,which belongs to heavy drug eruption.With the extensive and widespread use of antibiotics,nonsteroidal antipyretic analgesics and other pharmacotherapies in the treatment of critically ill patients,the trend of morbidity of TEN is gradually increased,especially in intensive care unit.In consideration of the high mortality rate of TEN and its great influence on the overall prognosis of patients with critical illness,we summarized the diagnosis and treatment experiences in the management of TEN based on retrospective analysis of one patient with severe acute pancreatitis and TEN.

The success of yielding induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from human somatic cells demonstrates the important role of reprogramming in the formation of stem/progenitor cells and initiates the exploration of the origin of leukemia stem cells. In our previous work, we have found two types of leukemia, bona fide leukemia and non-bona fide leukemia. Different leukemias originate from different leukemia stem/progenitor cells which are critical to the genesis and evolution of leukemia. Bona fide leukemia and non-bona fide leukemia originate from leukemia stem cells and progenitor cells, respectively. Recent research suggests that different types of leukemia are influenced by the reprogramming state of their origin cells.

Objective The purpose is to report the clinical result of repairing defection in hand surgery by using both the vascular tissue flap and external fixators. Methods The vascular tissue flap including bone flap and joint flap to repair the complex defection (soft tissue, bones and joints) in hand and forearm were applied in 9 cases. At the same time in surgery,injured bones and joints were fixed by A-O and mini external fixators in order to keep the non-injured joint actively and accelerate the cure of bones. Result All 9 cases were applied successfully with the all transplanted tissue survived. Pulling about the external fixator about 10- 12 weeks after surgery showed bone union and the f unction of hand recovered satisfactorily' Conclusion it is a reliable method for repairing the complex tissue defection in hand and forearm by combining external fixation of traumarology and microsugery technique. And it is also characterized by a minor injury in transplanted bones,early exercise for joints,flap circulation observed conveniently,and nursing easily.

Objective:To investigate the effect of mycophenolate mofetil(MMF)on proliferation and apoptosis of cyst-lining epithelial cells in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease(ADPKD),and to compare its effect with that of rapamycin(RAPA)in vitro.Methods: Primary cultured cyst-lining epithelial cells were treated with MMF and RAPA at different concentrations(0,0.005,0.05,0.5,5 ?g/ml)for 48 h or 72 h.The inhibitory effects of them on the cells were evaluated by MTT assay;the cell cycle distribution and apoptotic ratio were determined by flow cytometry.The morphological changes of cyst-lining epithelial cells were observed under transmission electron microscope.Results: Both MMF and RAPA significantly inhibited the proliferation of cyst-lining epithelial cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner.After 48 h treatment,the cells were blocked at S phase by MMF and at G0/G1 phase by RAPA.Both drugs induced cell apoptosis,with the maximal apoptotic rate being(5.53?0.27)% for MMF and(4.36?0.10)% for PAPA.Typical morphological changes of apoptotic cells were observed under electron microscope.Conclusion: MMF can effectively inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of cyst-lining epithelial cells,but its inhibitory effect is weaker than that of RAPA.

Immune and hemopoiesis are one of basic project of experimental hematology. Immune function is a essential activity of white blood cells. It was puzzled for the diversity and complexity of immune response. Polarized immune response of immune cells was discovered 30 years ago, which facilitates the study on differentiation of lymphocyte. Recently recognition on multifunctional polarized immune response of lymphocyte and monocyte/macrophage would promote to elucidate the regulatory network of immune cells, diversity and complexity of immune response as well as the study on hemopoiesis. In this paper the approach of multifunctional polarized immune response of lymphocyte, monocyte/macrophage and dendritic cells were reviewed, and their role, especially in cytokine storm and tumor pro-inflammation condition were discussed.

Objective To explore the relationship between expression of muc-1 gene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and lymph node metastasis and its clinical significance.Methods The expression of muc-1 gene in 36 specimens of NSCLC tissues and 10 normal lung tissues were determined by RT-PCR.Results muc-1 gene was positively expressed in 19 of 36 specimens of NSCLC tissues,the positive expression rate was 52.7%.The expression of muc-1 mRNA in NSCLC tissues was related to metastasis of lymph node(?2 =6.733,P0.05).The positive expression rate of muc-1 gene was higher in NSCLC tissues with lymph node metastasis(N0 10%,N1 58.82%,N2 88.9%).Conclusion The lymph node metastasis rate in NSCLC patients with muc-1 gene positive expression is higher,the detection of muc-1 gene expression can guide the prognosis and therapy of NSCLC patients after operation.

Objective To study the expressions of progesterone receptor A (PRA) and B (PRB) in breast cancer and adjacent non-malignant tissues and the correlations between their expressions and the clinical characteristics. Methods The expressions of PRA and PRB in 50 specimens of female human breast cancer and adjacent non-malignant tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. The correlations between the expressions of PRA and PRB and the clinical characteristics were analyzed.Results PRA and PRB expressed in both the nuclei and the cytoplasma of tumor cells and epithelial cells of the acini and ducts.The percentages of PRA and PRB positive cells were 42%,42% and 52%,36% in the cancer and the adjacent non-malignant tissues,respectively,there was no significant difference.The expression of PRA was significantly correlated with the age of patient(r=-0.316 8,P

0.05) between two groups.Conclusion Two surgicel porcedures offer smilar results in the surgical treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax.Both techniques are equally safe,small traumatic,pain controllable,and there are little postoprerative complications and the relapse rate is very low.
