Viral infections affect wheezing and asthma.Wheezing illnesses are usually viral in origin in children.The recurrent wheezing is associated with childhood asthma.There are some new evidences proving that rhinovirus(RV)is closely associated with asthma in children.This review discusses age distribution,epidemic season and risk factors of RV in the wheezing children.It also reviews the relationship between RV infection and asthma,clinical laboratory examination and treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To refine the quality standard of pharmacy intravenous admixture service(PIVAS),and provide refer-ence for improving the work quality of PIVAS. METHODS:Through establishing quality management organization and developing quality standard rules,quality control system for PIVAS in our hospital was constructed and total quality management was conduct-ed. Numbers of quality problems before(Jul. 2013-Jun. 2014)and after(Jul. 2014-Jun. 2015)its implementation were compared, and the effects were evaluated. RESULTS:117 management systems and 14 link quality standards and rules were made,including staff behavior standards,quality standards for drug management,supervision and inspection of quality standards,etc. Numbers of quality problems dropped from 358 to 177 after the implementation,the ratio of dispensing errors accounted for the total dispensing declined from 0.35? to 0.17?(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The construction of quality control system and the implementation of quality control standards and rules in PIVAS of our hospital has improved the quality of PIVAS work.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for standardizing dispensing and use of intravenous drug. METHODS:266 piec-es of intravenous drug instructions were collected in PIVAS of our hospital,and then the labeling information were statistically ana-lyzed,including dispensing method,diluted or dissolved solvent before preparation and storage time after preparation. RESULTS:Among 266 intravenous drug instructions,there were 45 kinds of finished product infusion varieties and 221 kinds of drugs needing to be prepared. Among these,there were only 30 pieces of drug instructions with labeling dispensing method,accounting for 13.57%;195 pieces of drug instructions stated solvent for dilution and 22 stated solvent for dissolution before preparation,account-ing for 88.24% and 19.13%;69 pieces of drug instructions stated storage time,accounting for 31.22%. CONCLUSIONS:The la-bel information of dispensing method and storage time in intravenous drug instructions is markedly insufficient or not clear. Drug ad-ministration departments are suggested to strengthen the instruction standardization management. Meanwhile,manufacturers should specify the relevant information in intravenous drug instructions.

AIM: To study the expressions and significance of stem cell factor(SCF) and tyrosine kinase receptor(KIT) in neurons after cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.METHODS: Western blotting was used to examine the expression of SCF and KIT in the cortex after cerebral ischemia and oxygen glucose deprivation(OGD) neurons,then the OGD neurons preincubated with SCF and SCF-Ab were assessed the cell viability by MTT to determine its significance.RESULTS: ①Compared to control group,the expressions of M-SCF and S-SCF in cortex increased markedly while KIT decreased significantly in ipsilateral hemisphere.However,no obvious change in the contraleteral hemisphere was observed.②Compared to control group,the levels of S-SCF and M-SCF were increased significantly in the OGD neurons while KIT was not obvious changed.③The cell viability of OGD neurons decreased significantly.Preincubation with SCF inhibited cell damage while SCF-Ab deteriorated OGD injury.CONCLUSION: The expression of SCF may be induced by cerebral ischemia reperfusion,which can protect the neurons from ischemia injury.

Objective To evaluate contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in diagnosis of small hepatocellular carcinoma (SHCC) ( ≤ 2. 0 cm) with liver cirrhosis after contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) examination. Methods Forty five patients with liver cirrhosis received CECT and CEUS examinations before operation or needle biopsy and the diagnosis was confirmed by pathological examination.CEUS and CECT findings of 51 liver space-occupying lesions from 45 patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among all 51 lesions detected CEUS and CECT found 49 and 35, respectively. The typical characteristics of SHCC were "fast-in and fast-out" and "fast-in and slow-out". The sensitivity of CEUS and CECT in diagnosis of SHCC was 88. 9% (32/36) and 69. 4 % (25/36) respectively ( x2 = 3. 02, P =0. 08);the diagnostic accuracy was 84. 3 % (43/51 ) and 56. 9% (29/51 ) respectively ( x2 = 1.46, P =0. 22). Among 16 lesions missed by CECT, 12 were detected by CEUS. Conclusions CEUS and CECT show the similar diagnostic rate for typical SHCC ,however, CEUS is more sensitive for atypical lesions. With high time resolution, CEUS have advantages for follow-up study of benign liver lesions.

Objective To investigate whether no asphyxia neonates with intrauterine distress are complicated with myocardial injury and determine the sensitive biochemical diagnostic parameters. Methods A total of 89 neonates born in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2009 to December 2009 were enrolled. Fifty-three fetal distress cases with Apgar score ＞ 7 at 1 and 5 minites were enrolled in the study group; while the rest 36 healthy neonates, whose Apgar score = 10 at 1 and 5 minites, were the control group. Umbilical artery blood samples of all cases were collected for blood gas analysis and biochemical measurement. Results(1)pH(7.23±0.07) and BE [(-4.8±3.0)mmol/L] in the study group were significantly lower than pH (7.31 ±0.03) and BE [(-2.1±1.5)mmol/L] in the control group (P＜0.05).The lactic acid of study group [(5.2±2.3)mmol/L] was higher than that of the control group [(2.3±1.1)mmol/L], and the difference was significant (P＜0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in PaO2[(16.2±7.9)mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) vs. (17.5±6.7)mm Hg] and PaCO2[(54.0±11.2)mm Hg vs. (48.5±5.4) mm Hg; P＞0. 05]. (2) The level of CK-MB in neonates with fetal distress[(48 ±59) U/L] was significantly higher than that of healthy neonates [(36±27)U/L]. However, no significant difference was found in CK [(194±73)U/L vs. (162±95) U/L]and BNP levels[(519±309)ng/L vs.(481±216)ng/L;P ＞ 0.05]. (3) Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that CK-MB level was negatively correlated with pH(r=-0.296, P＜0.05) and BE (r=-0.318,P＜0.05) of umbilical artery blood,while BNP level was positively correlated with umbilical lactic acid (r=0.278, P＜0.05). No correlation was found between other parameters (P＞0.05).Conclusions Intrauterine distress without neonatal asphyxia had effect on fetal myocardial injury. CK-MB can be used as a sensitive parameter for monitoring the development of myocardial injury. The severity of myocardial injury was related to fetal acidosis.

Objective To observe the effect of Sishen Pill on ICAM-1 mRNA and protein expression of colonic mucosa in rats with ulcerative colitis (UC), and identify its mechanism. Methods Taolly 40 SPF Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, Pill group and SASP group. Except the blank group, UC model was prepared with TNBS/ethanol enema. Pill group was given Sishen Pill 5 g/kg, and SASP group was given SASP 0.3 g/kg by gavage, blank group and model group was given the same volume physiological saline for three weeks. Morphological injury of colonic mucosa was observed and scored. ICAM-1 gene and protein expression were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemical method. Results Inflammation and ulceration were found on the colonic mucous membrane of rats in the model group. The expression of ICAM-1 gene and protein of colonic tissues of rats in the model group increased compared with that of the blank group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression of ICAM-1 in Pill group decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Sishen Pill can decrease the expression of ICAM-1 mRNA and ICAM-1 protein, inhibit the infiltration of inflammation cells, prevent and reduce colon tissue damage, and play a vital role in the treatment of UC.

Objective To investigate the role of SCF on neuronal apoptosis induced by diabetes and its possible mechanism.Methods Twenty-seven male C57 mice were randomly divided into control group,diabetes group,and diabe-tes plus stem cell factor(SCF)group.The diabetic mice were induced by streptozotocin.TUNEL staining was used to assess neuronal apoptosis and western blot were used to detect the protein level of BCL-2,BAX,CASPASE 3 and P-ERK/ERK.Results Compared with the controls,the number of apoptotic neuron death and the protein levels of active CASPASE 3 were significantly increased in the cortex of diabetic mice.Treatment with SCF significantly reduced apoptotic neuron death and attenuated the increased in protein levels of active CASPASE 3 in the cortex of diabetic mice.The levels of BCL-2 and BAX were significantly increased in the diabetic animals compared to the controls.Treatment with SCF could significantly attenuated the increase in the expression of BAX but could not affect the level of BCL-2 in the cortex of diabetic mice.P-ERK was significantly decreased in the diabete group but not in dibete plus SCF group.Conclusions SCF can protect a-gainst diabete-induced apoptotic neuron death through increasing the phosphorylation of ERK and influencing the expression of BCL-2/BAX.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between spectinomycin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae and mutations in the rpsE gene.Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from 4 clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae with different levels of spectinomycin resistance.Then,PCR was performed to amplify the entire rpsE gene and the spectinomycin resistance-determining region (SRDR) in the 16S rRNA gene followed by direct sequencing.Two spectinomycin-sensitive Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains were transformed with the genomic DNA containing the mutant rpsE gene.Subsequently,the susceptibility of the transformants to spectinomycin was determined,and PCR was performed to amplify the rpsE and 16S rRNA genes in the transformants followed by sequencing.Results All the 4 spectinomycin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains harbored an A70C transversion in the rpsE gene,but no abnormality in the SRDR of the 16S rRNA gene.No mutations were detected in the spectinomycin-sensitive Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains.The A70C transversion in the rpsE gene was also detected in the two Neisseria gonorrhoeae transformants with spectinomycin resistance.Conclusion The A70C point mutation within the rpsE gene is associated with spectinomycin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of intermittent pneumatic compression or sequential compression device in prevention of deep venous thrombosis in long-term bedridden patients.Methods We searched Pubmed (1996～),The Cochrane Library (1997～),CLNAHL (1980～),CNKI (1994～),EM-BASE,Science Direct,Oxford Journals,Wanfang Data(1998 ～),and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in which IPC or SCD was used as an intervention to prevent DVT,and all the trials were published in English or Chinese.The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed according to the standard of Cochrane systematic review.RevMan 5.0 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results Seven RCTs were included.The results of Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of DVT in the IPC or SCD group was lower than that in the control group.Conclusions IPC or SCD shows an effective tendency in DVT prevention,but because of the low quality and the small sample of the included studies,this conclusion needs to be verified by protocols of more samples and higher quality.
