OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Shuanghuanglian injection in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD),and to observe its effects on the plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP),procalcitonin(PCT)and interleukin-6(IL-6). METHODS:A total of 100 AECOPD patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 50 cases in each group. Control group received routine treatment,such as controlled oxygen therapy,intravenous dripping of moxifloxacin,bronchodilator for relieving asthma,mucolytic for eliminating phlegm,nu-tritional support. Observation group was additionally given Shuanghuanglian injection 1 ml/(kg·d)added into 5% Glucose injec-tion 250 ml intravenously,qd,on the basis of control group. Treatment course of 2 groups lasted for 10 d. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were compared as well as the changes of serum levels of CRP,PCT and IL-6 before and after treatment and the occur-rence of ADR. RESULTS:After treatment,total effective rate of observation group was 96.0%,which was significantly higher than 82.0% of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in se-rum levels of CRP,PCT and IL-6 between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,serum levels of CRP,PCT and IL-6 were de-creased significantly in 2 groups,and those of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group,with statis-tical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:Shuanghuanglian injection can effectively improve serum inflammatory factors of AECOPD patients,and shows good clinical efficacy and safety.

Objective　To explore the development of endogenous CO and its mechanisms in asthma.Methods　50 guinea pigs were equally separated 5 groups.After the models of asthmatic guinea pigs were established in 4 groups,3 groups of them were treated with dexamethasone,the specific stimulator(hemin)and inhibitor(Sn-PP)of HO-1 respectively.The rest of groups were asthmatic one and normal control one(NCG).From all tested animals,the COHb in blood and lung HO-1 activity were examined,the lung tissues were pathologically observed and immunohistochemically stained.Results　In asthmatic and hemin stimulated groups,the levels of COHb with enhanced expression of lung HO-1 and their activity were significantly increased compared with NCG(t=4.43～9.97,P＜0.01).For example,the lung HO-1 activities in asthmatic group were (881±361)pmol/(mg*pro*h),COHb (4.94±2.15)% respectively.In dexamethason prevented and Sn-PP inhibited groups,however,all determined levels were markedly reduced compared with asthmatic group(P＜0.01).Conclusion　The increased HO-1 had resulted in the growth of endogenous CO in asthma.

Ten cell strains were obtained from the human gastric cancer cell line BGC-823 by using the method of single cell cloning. Through inoculation of these cell strains in nude mice and subsequent observation of their metastatic capability, four cell lines, C_1, C_6 with high, and C_5, C_8 with low metastatic capability were selected out; and their biological and morphological properties were studied. It was demonstrated that all of them did not show apparent difference in growth ability, but morphologically, the mictovilli of C_5 and C_8 cells were scarce and short; and their microfilaments were thick, straight and well organized. Whereas the microvilli of C_1 and C_6 strains were long and abundant comparatively, but their microfilaments were poorly organized. On the basis of present observation,we suggested that the organization of microfilaments in cancer cells appeared to bear reversed relationship with their metastatic capability.

Objective To evaluate the application value of inhibitor enhanced modified carbapenemase inactivation method (imCIM) in the detection of class B carbapenemase.The differences between imCIM and EDTA disc potentiation test (EDPT) were comparatively analyzed.Methods A total of 181 strains of carbapenem insensitive strains were collected,among which there were 44 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae,44 strains of Escherichia coli,43 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii and 50 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.The 83 strains of carbapenem-sensitive strains were composed of 25 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae,16 strains of Escherichia coli,25 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii and 17 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.The class B carbapenemase in the 264 strains of pathogenic bacteria was screened by imCIM and EDPT,and PCR results were used as gold standard.The statistical analysis wasperformed with consistency check,related-sample Wilcoxon signed rank sum test,independent samples Kruskal-Wallis H test and ROC curve.Results Among the 181 strains of carbapenem insensitive strains,PCR results of 144 strains were positive for drug resistance gene.The samples of class A,B and D of carbapenemase were 39,77 and 28 strains respectively.The results of imCIM showed that 70 strains were positive,and the other 111 strains were negative.The imCIM results of 166 strains were consistent with those of PCR.The results of EDPT showed that 72 strains were positive,and the other 109 strains were negative.The EDPT results of 134 strains were consistent with those of PCR.The results of PCR,EDPT and imCIM of 83 carbapenem sensitive strains were negative.The sensitivity and specificity of imCIM were 85.71％ (66/77) and 97.86％ (183/187),and the value of Kappa was 0.859.The sensitivity and specificity of EDPT were 66.23 ％ (51/77) and 88.77 ％ (166/187),and the value of Kappa was 0.561.The difference of inhibition zone of imCIM (AdimCIM) was different from EDPT(AdEDPr) and the difference was statistically significant (Z =-6.941,P ＜ 0.05).In the imCIM detection,the AdimciM level of class B carbapenemase showed different population distribution position from class A and D carbapenemase with the statistically significant difference (x2 =108.887,P ＜ 0.05).The areas under the ROC curve of imCIM and EDPTwere 0.988 (95％CI:0.977 to0.999) and0.936 (95％CI:0.909 to0.963),respectively.Conclusion imCIM should be accurate,efficient and convenient for screening of carbapenem phenotype for its high sensitivity and specificity,and suitable for epidemiological monitoring.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of modified rapid Carba NP test for the detection of carbapenemase,and analyze the differences between the modified method and Carba NP test.Methods A total of 264 strains of gram-negative bacillus,including 164 carbapenem-resistant strains and 100 sensitive strains,were collected,and their carbapenemase were detected by Carba NP test and the modified rapid Carba NP test,respectively.The differences between the two tests were evaluated based on PCR as a reference.Results Among 164 carbapenem-resistant strains,carbapenemase gene was detected in 144 strains by PCR.The carbapenemase gene was negative in 100 sensitive strains.Among 164 carbapenem-resistant strains,135 were positive for the Carba NP test,while 130 for the modified rapid Carba NP test.One hundred of sensitive strains were negative for the two Carba NP tests.Compared with the results of PCR,the sensitivity,specificity and Kappa value of the Carba NP test were 91.7％ (132/144),97.5％ (117/120) and 0.886,respectively,while those of the modified rapid Carba NP test were 89.6％ (129/144),99.2％ (119/120) and 0.879,respectively.There was no significant difference in the positive rates between Carba NP test and the modified rapid Carba NP test (x2 =1.45,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The modified rapid Carba NP test which has high consistency with the PCR method,is faster and cheaper than the Carba NP test,and may be applied to epidemiologic survey and the early monitoring of nosocomial infections.

Objective To investigate long-term data of dry eye after LASIK in young myopia patients.Methods Young myopia patients were divided into treated group (group A) and control (group B),who were interviewed before surgery and on 1 year,3 years and 5 years after surgery.Their diopters,uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA),tear breakup time test,Schirmer I test and corneal fluorescent staining were taken,then dry eye was diagnosed and OSDI questionnaire were scored.Results The postoperative incidence of dry eye in group A was higher than that before surgery (35.6％) and decreased with time (51.7％,44.9％ and 40.7％,respectively),and there was no significant difference in group B at each time point (P ＞ 0.05).The preoperative incidence of dry eye was equal between two groups (P ＞ 0.05),which were much higher in group A after surgery (all P ＜ 0.05).In group A,the postoperative constituent ratio of mild dry eye was the majority and decreased with time (65.6％,52.8％,41.7％,respectively),while moderate and severe dry eye was increased,especially the latter (6.6％,11.3％ and 16.7％,respectively;P ＜ 0.05).At 5 years after surgery,the UCVA and visual function score in dry eye patients were lower than those of non-dry eye patients (all P ＜ 0.05),while the residual refraction and ocular symptom score were higher than those of dry eye patients (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Dry eye disease may last for a long time and may getting worse after LASIK.Therefore,we should pay more attention to the development of dry eye long after LASIK in young myopic patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture on the expressions of in-terleukin(IL)-33 and ST2 in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion in rats with neuropathic pain. Methods Forty adult female SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (group Sham),model group (group MC),ipsilateral electroacupuncture group (group SE)and contralateral electroacupuncture group (group VE).Each group had 10.The sciatic nerve injury models were es-tablished.The rats in group SE and group VE were respectively accepted electrical acupuncture treat-ment in Yanglingquan and Zusanli in the right and left limbs.Respectively,before treatment (T0 ), treated for 7 d (T1 ),3 d (T2 )and 7 d (T3 )after treatment,the MWT and TWL of rats in the four groups were measured.At T3 ,the expressions of IL-33 in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion in rats were detected by using quantitative PCR.Results Compared with T0 ,MWT and TWL in group MC, group SE and group VE at T1-T3 were decreased significantly (P < 0.05).Compared with sham group,MWT in group SE and group VE,TWL in group MC,group SE and group VE at T1-T3 were decreased significantly (P <0.05).Compared with group MC,MWT and TWL in group SE and group VE at T2 ,T3 were increased significantly (P <0.05).Compared with sham group,the relative expression levels of IL-33 mRNA and ST2 mRNA in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion in the group MC,group SE and group VE were elevated,the differences were statistically significant (P <0.05). Compared with group MC,the relative expression levels of IL-33 mRNA and ST2 mRNA in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion group SE and group VE were decreased,the differences were statistical-ly significant (P <0.05).Conclusion The electroacupuncture treatment could significantly reduce the pain symptoms of neuropathic pain in rats,possibly via inhibiting the expressions of IL-33 and ST2 in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion and blocking the IL-33/ST2 mediated inflammatory to play role.
