Objective: To investigate the effect of Tanreqing injections combined with azithromycin in the treatment of children bronchial pneumonia. Methods:Totally 56 cases of pediatric bronchial pneumonia were selected in our hospital from September 2012 to September 2013 and randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 28 cases in each. The control group was with azithromycin treatment, and the observation group was with Tanreqing injections additionally. The effect and adverse reactions of the two groups were studied and compared. Results:In the observation group, the effective rate was 92. 9%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0. 05). The hospitalization time and the symptoms disappearance time in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P<0. 05). The adverse reactions showed no significant difference be-tween the two groups. Conclusion:Tanreqing injections in the treatment of children bronchial pneumonia is rapid, effective and safe.

Objective To construct genetically engineered cells that secrete human TH and GDNF at the same time by stable co-transfection pcDNA3.0/hTH and pcDNA3.1/hGDNF in SH-SY5Y cells and study their effects on the gene therapy of Parkinson′s disease (PD). Methods pcDNA3.0/hTH and pcDNA3.1/hGDNF were constructed by inserting human TH and GDNF cDNA into pcDNA3.0 and pcDNA3.1, respectively. SH-SY5Y cells were transfected with pcDNA3.0/hTH and pcDNA3.1/hGDNF and the positive cell clones of human TH and GDNF cDNA engineered cells could be identified by RT-PCR. The engineered cells were co-cultured with primary dopaminergic neurons in mouse. The number and growth condition of primary dopaminergic neurons were examined by Immunocytochemistry. Results The number of primary dopaminergic neurons protected by double-gene engineered cells increased at least by 2.8 times in comparison with the control cells(P

ObjectiveTo evaluate the rationale of combined evisceration for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer.MethodsThe clinical data of 137 cases with advanced gastric cancer treated with combined evisceration from 1994 to 2001 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsEleven cases underwent combined hepatectomy, 25 cases with splenectomy, 13 with transverse colectomy, 15 with cholecystectomy, 4 with auxiliary adrenalectomy, 38 with splenectomy plus distal pancreectomy, 13 with pancreatoduodenectomy, 18 with other adjecent evisceration. The operative mortality rate was nil. The 1-,3-,5-year survival rate were 60.2%,26.3% and 16.6% respectively.Conclusions Combined evisceration for treating advanced gastric cancer was feasible and yielded a longer survival.

The biomarkers associated with coronary artery lesions (CAL) secondary to Kawasaki disease (KD) in Chinese children were investigated by using Meta-analysis. We searched documents published from January 1997 to December 2009 from medical electronic databases. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, eligible full-text papers were identified. We conducted a comprehensive quantitative analysis by using Stata10.0 statistical software package to assess the heterogeneity among the documents, calculated the summary effect and analyze publication bias and sensitivity. A total of 92 documents and 16 biomarkers were identified. All documents were case-control studies, and included 2398 patients in CAL group and 5932 patients in non-CAL (NCAL) group. The Meta-analysis showed that the levels of platelet count, platelet hematocrit (PCT), neutrophils count, platelet distribution width (PDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in CAL group were significantly higher than those in NCAL group, and serum albumin (Alb) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels were significantly lower in CAL group (all P<0.05). White blood cell (WBC) count, serum sodium, matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), total cholesterol (TC), hematocrit (HCT) and CD3+T lymphocytes percentage had no statistically significant difference between the two groups. In conclusion, our results indicated that the 10 biomarkers including platelet count, neutrophils count, PCT, PDW, MPV, ESR, cTnI, ET-1, Alb and Hb were associated with CAL, and may be involved in the pathogenesis of CAL. The biomarkers of WBC count, serum sodium, MMP-9, TC, HCT, and CD3+T lymphocytes percentage bore no relationship with the development of CAL among Chinese children with KD.
