Objective To explore the clinical manifestation and laboratory examination of chronic diarrhea in children with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS) and analyze the reasons that causes the chronic diarrhea in children.Methods Clinical data of 7 patients (male 4 cases,famale 3 cases)with AIDS with manifestation of chronic diarrhea among the 17 cases were diagnosed as AIDS in Beijing children′s hospital from Jan.1999 to Dec.2006.The time of diarrhea,degree of dinrrhea,characteristic of stool,accompaniment symptom,laboratory examination were retrospectively analyzed.Results The average onset age was 6 years old(from 2-9 years old).The average time of diarrhea was 6 months(from 1-16 months).Four cases main complained with chronic diarrhea,3 cases came to the hospital because of fever,cough and wasting;6 cases with diarrhea,7 cases with malnutrition and anemia,5 cases accompanied hypokalemia and metabolic acidosis,6 cases had delay in growth and development,2 cases with abnormal stool routine exam,1 case with positive stool culture of fungi.All patients were with lower CD4,5 cases with lower CD4/CD8.Conclusions Chronic diarrhea is a common symptom in children with AIDS,and usually accompanied by obvious delay in growth and development,malnutrition and anemia,the reasons that causes the chronic diarrhea are consi-dered to be related with both the opportunistic infection and HIV infection.

Using the experiences of domestic and other countries on rehabilitation nursing of patients with femoroacetabalar impingement for reference,a balanced rehabilitation procedure was designed and implemented on 16 patients underwent arthroscopic bone forming surgery in acetabulum and femoral head and neck junction.The patients could master the correct metheds of functional exercises.As a result,no postoperative complications occurred.The score of modified Harris hip rating was increased from 62.4 points before surgery to 92.5 points at six months after surgery.

Objective To investigate the changes in serum levels of nitric oxide ( NO) and endothelin ( ET) in type 2 diabetes patients with vascular complications, and to analyze the relationship between these levels and risk factors.Method We selected 98 cases of type 2 diabetes patients.Based on the grouping criteria, the patients were divided into diabetic patients with vascular complications ( group A,49 cases) and those without ( group B,49 cases) .In addition, 44 age-and body mass index-matched healthy cases were selected for control(group C).Height, weight, blood pressure, duration of diabetes, fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c ( HbA1c), blood lipids, and serum levels of NO and ET-1 of all the patients were recorded.Results The NO levels of the two groups with diabetes mellitus were significantly lower than in group C[(43.87 ±12.05)and (53.29 ±11.75)μmol/L versus (66.08 ±16.48)μmol/L, P<0.01], while the ET-1 levels of the two groups with diabetes mellitus were significantly higher [(100.25 ±20.34) and (77.55 ±14.84) versus (53.62 ±8.40)ng/L, P<0.01] than those of the group C.The NO levels of group A were significantly lower than in group B [(43.87 ±12.05) versus (53.29 ±11.75)μmol/L, P<0.01].Moreover, the ET-1 levels of the group A were significantly higher than in group B [(100.25 ±20.34) versus (77.55 ±14.84)ng/L, P<0.01].Between the two diabetic groups, group A showed significantly higher systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), HbA1c, and course than group B (P<0.01).Correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between SBP, DBP, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and NO a positive correlation between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C ) and NO, a negative correlation between HDL-C and ET-1, and a positive correlation between SBP,LDL-C, uric acid, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and ET-1.Conclusion The serum levels of NO and ET-1 in diabetic patients are evidently abnormal.Vascular endothelium injury will become more serious in patients with complications.Therefore, the serum levels of NO and ET-1 in diabetic patients are correlated with control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels.

Objective To explore the executive function in clinical subtypes of attention deficit hyperac?tivity disorder( ADHD) . Methods 19 children with ADHD/ inattentive type( ADHD?I) ,13children with ADHD/hyperactive?impulsive( ADHD?HI) 33 children with ADHD/combined type ( ADHD?C ) and 30 normal children were tested by Stroop test ( included Stroop C and Stroop CW) ,modified Wisconsin card sorting test( M?WCST) , tower of Hanoi,digital span and verbal fluency. Results The scores of Stroop C and Stroop CW,digit inverse reci?ting,tower of Hanoi and WCST in the children with ADHD were worse than those in normal control((104.8±4.0), (105.9±4.2),(104.8±3.7),(104.8±4.0), P<0.05;(84.0±9.2),(84.8±7.9),(78.2±7.8),(92.2±7.1), P<0.01;(4.0±1.8),(3.7±1.2),(3.8±1.5),(5.1±1.6), P<0.01;(3.0±1.0),(3.3±1.0),(2.7±1.3),(3.8±1.3), P<0.01;(4.1±1.6),(4.2±1.9),(4.3±2.1),(5.4±1.7), P<0.05;(6.6±3.2),(6.7±2.4),(8.0±2.9),(5.3± 2.4), P<0.01;(10.2±2.8),(11.1±3.8),(12.3±4.0),(9.4±3.2), P<0.05). The scores of Stroop CW in the chil?dren with ADHD?C were worse than those in other two subtypes(P<0.01). Conclusion The executive functions of the chil?dren with ADHD are impaired,including poor response inhibition,working memory,planning and cognitive flexibility. The dysfunction of response inhibition is possible an index to discriminate the subtypes of ADHD.

Carthamus tinctorius L. is a traditional Chinese medicine with the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. HSYA (hydroxysafflor yellow A) is the main effective component of Carthamus tinctorius L. In order to study the inhibitory effects of HSYA against PMN (polymorphonuclear) activation induced by LPS (lipopolysaccharide), rabbit PMN adhesion potency which was activated by LPS through colorimetry method was observed. Cellular free calcium concentration was determined by fluorescence spectrophotometry. RT-PCR was applied to study the effect of HSYA on PMN TNF-alpha and IL-6 mRNA expression; The inhibition of HSYA on NF-kappaB activation was monitored with immunofluorescence. The results showed that after treated with HSYA, the increase of adhesion potency (HSYA dose 1.01 x 10(-4) mol x L(-1)), free calcium concentration (HSYA dose 3.1 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1)), TNF-alpha and IL-6 mRNA expression elevation (HSYA dose 5.2 x 10(-1) mol x L(-1)) induced by LPS were inhibited. HSYA can inhibit NF-kappaB p65 subgroup nuclear translocation (HSYA dose 5.2 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1)). It is suggested that HSYA is effective in PMN activation induced by LPS.

The levels of triglyceride(TG)and free fatty acid(FFA)in serum,liver,skeletal muscle,and pancreas of lipoprotein lipase gene knockout heterozygous(LPL+/-)mice and C57 mice were determined.Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test(IPGTT)was performed to evaluate insulin sensitivity and β-cell function.The results showed that the Iipid content in 16 weeks LPL+/- group did not increase significantly.The TG and FFA contents in 28 weeks LPL+/- group were significantly higher than those in control and 16 weeks LPL+/-group(all P<0.05).In 50 weeks LPL+/- group,FFA levels in serum and pancreas,and TG content in pancreas increased significantly compared with other three groups(all P<0.05).The IPGTT result showed that the blood glucose levels increased from 15 to 120 min,not at 0 and 5 min.The blood glucose levels during 30-120 min increased significantly in 50 weeks LPL+/- group compared with other three groups(P<0.05).Fasting insulin(FINS),homoestasis assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)and pancreatic β cell function also increased gradually with age.FINS and HOMA-IR in 28 weeks LPL+/- group were higher than those in control and 16 weeks LPL+/- group.These results suggest that LPL is a key enzyme in lipid metabolism and plays a crucial role in the development of insulin resistance and diabetes.

0.05). Conclusions The expression of angiotensinⅡincreases in BPH tissues in rats. It is suggested that angiotensinⅡmay affect cell proliferation but not significantly affect cell apoptosis of the rat prostate.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for simultaneous determination of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide in Valsar-tan hydrochlorothiazide tablets. METHODS:UPLC was adopted. The determination was performed on Phenomenex C18 column with mobile phase consisted of [0.1% phosphoric acid solution-acetonitrile(95 : 5,V/V)]-[0.1% phosphoric acid solution-acetonitrile (5 : 95,V/V)](gradient elution)at the flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 272 nm,and the column tem-perature was 35 ℃. The sample size was 1.5 μL. RESULTS:The linear range were 8.1-324.2 μg/mL for valsartan(r=0.9999)and 1.2-50.1 μg/mL for hydrochlorothiazide(r=0.9999). The limits of quantitation were 0.24,0.04 ng,and the limits of detection were 0.06,0.01 ng. RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were less than 2.0%;recoveries were 97.69%-100.35%for valsartan(RSD=1.03%,n=9)and 98.27%-100.60% for hydrochlorothiazide(RSD=0.83%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,rapid and accurate,and can be used for the simultaneous determination of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide in Valsartan hydrochlorothiazide tablets.
