Objectives To detect the clinical significance of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and immune function in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP). Methods 103 children with MPP, 47 cases of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS group), 56 cases of non-systemic inflammatory response syndrome (non-SIRS group) were recruited. 26 healthy children served as the control group. ELISA was used to detect the level of serum hs-CRP, immune in-dexes, IgG, IgA, and IgM, Cellular immune CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+. Results The level of serum hs-CRP、IgG、IgM and CD8+in control group were significantly lower than those in non-SIRS group and SIRS group (P<0.05). The level of IgA、CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+in control group were significantly higher than those in non-SIRS group and SIRS group (P<0.05). The level of serum hs-CRP、IgG in SIRS group were significantly higher than those in non-SIRS group (P<0.05). The level of IgA、CD3+、CD4+、CD4+/CD8+in SIRS group were significantly lower than those in non-SIRS group. There was no significant difference in non-SIRS group and SIRS group of IgM and CD8+(P>0.05). The level change of serum hs-CRP were positively related with IgG (r=0.66,P=0.001) and were negatively related with IgA、CD4+、CD4+/CD8+(r=0.79, 0.67, 0.82, P all were<0.05) in chil-dren with MPP. Conclusion Children with MPP have Immunity function( including humoral immunity and cellular immunity) disorder which is related to the disease status. The level of hs-CRP could be an anpation index for the severity and immune func-tion of the children with MPP.

AIM: To determine the concentration of escitalopram in human plasma by HPLC-MS/MS and investigate the pharmacokinetics of escitalopram. METH-ODS: The method involved protein precipitation with methanol. The chromatographic separation was achieved within 6.0 min by using methanol-water with 15 mmol·L-1 ammonium acetate-formic acid (72:28:O.1, v/v/v) as mobile phase and a Lichrospher CN 150 mm×4.6 mm analytical column. The analytes were detected using an electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in SRM mode. Detection of the ions was performed by monitoring the transitions of m/z 325.0 to 234.0 for escitalopram and m/z 409.1 to 238.1 for amlodipine (intemal standard), respectively. RESULTS:The standard curve was linear ( r = 0. 999) over the concentration range of 0.20 - 50.00 ng· ml- 1. Accuracy and precision were below the acceptance limits of 15%. The recoveries of escitalopram ranged from 96.0% to 103.6%. The lower limit of quantification for escitalopram was 0.20 ng· ml-1 using 200 μl plasma sample.The pharmacokinetic parameters of escitalopram after a single oral dosing of escitalopram oxalate tablet (10 rog)to ten healthy male volunteers were achieved. The Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, t1/2 and Ke of escitalopram were 9.21±2.10 ng·ml-1 , 3.75±1.04 h, 514.6±152.3 ng·h·ml-1 ,540.5±162.3 ng·h·ml-1 , 34.06±7.71 h and 0.021±0.004 h-1,respectively. CONCLUSION:The determination of concentration of escitalopram in human plasma by HPLC-MS/MS method was repid, sensitive and reliable. It can be used for clinical pharmacokinetic study of escitalopram.

Objective To study the efficacy of intra-tumoral injection of different concentrations of ethanol for nude mice with implanted pancreatic cancer and provide evidence for choosing appropriate concentration of ethanol for clinical treatment of pancreatic cancer.Methods A subcutaneous xenograft mouse model of human pancreatic cancer SW1990 was established.Forty-eight nude mice with similar tumor size were randomly divided into 20％,40％,60％,80％,95％ ethanol injection groups and saline injection group.The longest (a) and the shortest diameters (b) of tumor of nude mice were measured.Tumor volume (TV),relative tumor volume (RTV) and the relative rate of tumor proliferation (T/C％) were calculated.Eight days later the nude mice were sacrificed.The tumor tissue was harvested for pathologic examinations.Results RTV in 20％ ethanol injection group was similar that of saline injection group (P =0.212).RTV in 40％,60％,80％ and 95％ ethanol injection groups were significantly lower than that in saline injection group (P ＜ 0.01).RTV was less than 1 and T/C％ was less than 30％ in 60％,80％ and 95％ ethanol injection groups.The values of RTV and T/C％ decreased with the increase of ethanol concentration.RTV in 80％ and 95％ ethanol injection groups were significantly lower than that of 60％ ethanol injection group (P =0.003 and P =0.009).RTV was similar in 80％ and 95％ ethanol injection groups (P =0.819).The pathologic examinations showed no tumor necrosis in saline injection group,while small amounts of necrosis in implanted pancreatic cancer was observed in 20％ and 40％ ethanol injection groups,while a large area of coagulation necrosis could be found in 60％,80％ and 95％ ethanol injection groups.Conclusions Intra-tumoral injection of 80％ ethanol is feasible therapy method for nude mice with human pancreatic cancer xenografts.

Objective To set up the reference value of serum glyeated albumin (CA) in Chinese for using in clinical practice through a multi-center clinical trial. Methods Three hundred and eighty individuals with normal weight and normal glucose regulation, including 183 males and 197 females ranging from 20 to 69 years, were recruited from 10 hospitals in China. Serum GA levels were measured with liquid enzymatic method. Results (1) The GA level of the 380 subjects was (14. 5±1.9)%. When dividing these subjects by age into 3 subgroups, there was no difference in the GA levels among the 3 subgroups (P>0.05). Compared with the women, the men had higher GA level in the first subgroup aging from 20 to 39 (P =0.028). However, no significant difference was detected after adjusting with BMI as confounder.(2) When dividing those subjects by BMI into 3 subgroups, with BMI ranging from 18. 5-20. 9 kg/m2,21.0-22. 9 kg/m<'2>and 23.0-24. 9 kg/m<'2>respectively, we came to the following results: for men, there was no difference in the GA levels among the 3 subgroups (P>0.05), but for women, the GA level of the first subgroup was higher than that of the second subgroup (P =0.024). (3) The level of GA in the 2. 5th to 97.5th percentile was 10. 8%-17. 1%. (4) Sixty normal subjects were chosen to repeat evaluation of GA levels after 2-3 weeks and the GA levels were of no difference (P>0.05).Conclusion The normal range of serum GA for the Chinese population could be suggested at 11%-17%.

Objective:To explore the impact of different family management patterns on the family resilience of children with brain tumors.Methods:A total of 210 parents of children with postoperative brain tumors in 2 tertiary Grade A pediatric hospitals were investigated by the general information questionnaire, family management measure (FaMM) and family resilience rating scale.SPSS 24.0 was used for cluster analysis.Results:(1) Among the scores of FaMM, child identity, condition management ability and parental mutuality were significantly positively correlated with family resilience ( r=0.312, r=0.470, r=0.391, all P<0.05), while view of condition impact, condition management difficulty and condition management effort were negatively correlated with family resilience ( r=-0.346, r=-0.177, r=-0.348, all P<0.05). (2) Family management patterns could be divided into four categories: burden managing (22.9%), effective managing (24.8%), poor managing (28.6%) and tacit managing (23.8%). (3) Family resilience scores of the four patterns were (197.21±20.08), (205.92±14.25), (181.47±18.13) and (198.06±17.08), and their differences were statistically significant ( F=19.498, P<0.01). Conclusion:The family resilience level of children with brain tumor is associated with different family management patterns.Therefore, effective strategies according to different family characteristics should be developed to improve family resilience level.
