Objective To investigate the relationship between children history of asthma and family history of asthma.Methods Three thousand and five hundred outpatients of asthma children were selected as investigation subjects.Family history of asthma was investigated in the form of questionnaire,and analyzed them from whether or not having family history of asthma,the first and second degree relative having family history of asthma.Results There was no family history of asthma in 1 659 cases(47.4%) and while 1 841 cases had family history of asthma(52.6%).The children who had family history of asthma were slightly more than those who had no family history of asthma.Among the 1 841 cases with family history of asthma,the first degree relatives with family history of asthma were more than those second degree relatives with fa-mily history of asthma.The incidence rate of relatives with family history of asthma on mother′s side was 59.9%,and the incidence rate of the father′s relatives was 40.1%.The incidence rate of mother′s relatives was higher than that of father′s relatives(P

Objective To investigate the effect of liraglutide and metformin hydrochioride on overweight diabetic patients because of poor glycemic control.Methods Forty-four overweight patients with poor glycemic control were randomly divided to the control group,the liraglutide group and the metformin hydrochioride group.Patients in control group were given diet and exercise control,in liraglutide group and the metformin hydrochioride group were given subcutaneous injection liraglutide,metformin hydrochioride oral treatment respectively for 12 weeks.Body mass index(BMI),fasting blood glucose (FBG),2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2 hPBG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were measured.Results Compared with pretreatment,FBG,2 hPBG and HbA1c of patients in liraglutide group and metformin hydrochioride group were lower after treatment,and there was significant difference between the two group and the control group after treatment(P < 0.05).BMI of patients in liraglutide group was (24.61 ± 3.47) kg/m2,lower than of the control group((25.37 ± 4.70) kg/m2,P < 0.05).2 hPBG of patients in the liraglutide group was (7.13 ± 3.85)mtmol/L,lower than that of the metformin hydrochioride group ((8.03 ± 4.33) mtmol/L,P < 0.05).FBG level in metformin hydrochioride group ((6.31 ± 3.45) mmol/L) was lower than that of the liraglutide group ((6.98±2.97) mmol/L),but the difference was not statistically significant(P > 0.05).Conclusion Liraglutide and metformin hydrochioride treatment can effectively reduce weight and blood sugar of the overweight diabetics.The effect of liraglutide to reduce postprandial blood glucose and weight of the patient is more significant than of metformin hydrochioride.

Tumor genesis and development often result from deregulation of important biological pathways at the gene expression level. Although there has been much work focused on searching gene sets using gene expression data or other prior information, proper statistical testing of the gene sets is still an open question. Most studies have expanded the testing method of a single gene into the gene sets. Parametric statistical analysis of gene sets ( p-SAGE ) was presented for determining the significant gene sets or pathways associated with a phenotype of interest. The method was applied to brain tumor experiments to identify many gene sets. Some of the newly discovered gene sets were related to signal transduction and immunity. This simple and effective method gives useful biologically meaningful results.

0.05).Conclusion Low dose mifepristones increase the number of CD_(56)~+ NK cells and the percentage of CD_3~-CD_(56)~+ CD_(16)~-NK subset,which might result in the disturbance of human endometrial immuno-mieroenviromnent during receptive phase and lead to imolantation failure.

Objective To explore the influence of electrical stimulation on prefrontal cortical neurons and synaptic ultramicrostructure of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD)in neonatal rats.Methods The sixty 7-day-old newborn healthy SD rats were randomly divided into hypoxic-ischemic group(model group),electrical stimulation(intervention)group and sham operation group(control group),which 20 for each group.The models of perinatal HIBD rats were prepared by ligation of left common carotid artery with a temporary systemic hypoxia for 2 hours.Intervention group was subject to electric stimulation for 30 minutes,once everyday after surgery.Control group and model group were not subject to electric stimulation but caught to fix in corresponding period.Fastigial nucleus electric stimulations were performed for 3 d,14 d and 21 d.Five rats were killed in each group after the application of electron microscope to observe the brain cortex neurons and synaptic ultrastructure changes.Results In model group,the neuronal shrinkage,the amount of organelles dacrease,ob-vious edema of cytoplasm,obvious swellen mitochondria,and synapse quantity decrease,synaptic space fusion,obvious synaptic vesicle were observed.Intervention group different times,mitochondria hydrops gradually alleviated,synaptic space gradually cleared,synaptic vesicle increased,pathological changes obviously lessened compared to model group at the same time,and there was no apparent abnormality compared with control group on the 21st d.Conclusion Electric stimulation can promote the ultramicrostructures recovery of HIBD rats.

Objective To investigate the effects of electrical stimulation on vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and its receptor expressions of neonatal rat brain with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD).Methods Seventy-five 7-day-old newborn health SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(control group,n=25),hypoxia-ischemia group(model group,n=25) and the electrical sti-mulation group(intervention group,n=25).To bulid HIBD animal model of neonatal rats,the left common carotid artery was ligated and nitrogen-oxygen gas mixture was inhaled 2 hours.Fastigial nucleus stimulation was given 12 hours after the operation in intervention group,30 min?time-1,1 time?d-1,the time length was 1 d,3 d,7 d,14 d or 21 d,respectively.There was no electrical stimulation in model group and control group.The rats in these groups were captured at the corresponding time.Five rats in each group were killed at the corresponding pe-riods after electrical stimulation,the expression of VEGF and its receptor fam-like tyrosine kinase receptor(flt-1 / VEGFR1),fetal liver kinase receptor(flk-1/KDR/VEGFR2) in hippocampus were observed by immunohistochemistry.SPSS 15.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results The expression of VEGF,VEGFR1,VEGFR2 at every time point in electrical stimulation group were higher significantly than those in model group and control group(Pa0.05).Conclusion Electrical stimulation can promote the expression of VEGF and its receptors VEGFR1,VEGFR2.
