Objective To investigate the spectrum,diagnosis,time of therapy and management of the congeni-tal heart disease(CHD)in patients with Down′s syndrome(DS).Methods A retrospective report was undertaken of 96 cases in children with DS accompanied by CHD in Department of Pediatric Cardiology,Beijing Anzhen Hospital Af-filiated to Capital Medical University.Data were collected and analyzed about their clinical characteristics,and types of cardiovascular abnormalities,and the important laboratory examinations such as echocardiography and catheterization as well as the procedures of diagnosis and treatments were summarized.Then the interventions,complications and prognosis of different patients were estimated.Results (1)Single congenital heart disease was found in 33 cases (34.38%),a-mong which ventricular septal defect was the most common (14 cases,14.58%),followed by atrioventricular septal de-fect and atrial septal defect (equally,7 cases,7.29%).Multi -cardiovascular abnormalities were discovered in 63 ca-ses,and patent ductus arteriosus turned out to be the most common (42 cases,66.67%).(2)Cat-heterization was car-ried out in 18 cases of serious pulmonary arterial hypertension,and 8 cases were proved resistant pulmonary arterial hy-pertension without operation opportunity.The other 8 cases were estimated as high pulmonary arterial hypertension and medical therapy was suggested before reassessment to reduce surgical risks.(3)Operations were undertaken in 61 ca-ses,among which percutaneous interventional occlusion was performed in 7 cases and surgical interventions were per-formed in 54 patients,in which perioperation complications and death were found in 5 cases and 4 cases,respectively. Conclusions Operation interventions are practicable and most cases recovered well with systematic examinations and assessment in patients with DS and cardiovascular malformations.Early diagnosis and timely interventions are highly suggested.Also close attentions should be paid to follow -up and re -estimation after medical therapy.

This study was designed to analyze the effect of the mitochondrial respiratory pathways of Candida albicans (C.albicans) on the biofilm formation.The 2,3-bis (2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT) reduction assay was used to measure the metabolic activities of biofilms formed by the C.albicans which were cultured in the presence of respiratory pathways inhibitors.The biofilms formed by the wide type (WT),GOA1-deleted (GOA31),GOA1-reconstituted (GOA32),AOX1a-deleted (AOX1) and AOX1b-deleted (AOX2) C.albicans strains were examined by the XTT reduction assay and fluorescence microscopy.The expression of adhesion-related genes BCR1,ALS1,ALS3,ECE1 and HWP1 in the biofilms formed by the above five C.albicans strains was detected by real time polymerase chain reaction.It was found that the metabolic activity of biofilms formed by C.albicans was decreased in the presence of alternative oxidase inhibitor whereas it was increased in the presence of classical mitochondrial respiratory pathway complex Ⅲ or complex Ⅳ inhibitor.AOX1 strain produced scarce biofilms interspersed with few hyphal filaments.Moreover,no significant changes in the expression of BCR1 and ALS3 were observed in the AOX1 strain,but the expression of ALS1 and ECE1 was down-regulated,and that of HWP1 was up-regulated.These results indicate that both AOX1 and AOX2 can promote the biofilm formation.However,AOX1a primarily plays a regulatory role in biofilm formation in the absence of inducers where the promoting effect is mainly achieved by promoting mycelial formation.

OBJECTIVETo observe the therapeutic effect of Zhifeng Huatan Pingxiao recipe (ZHPR) in treating attack stage of child asthma.
METHODSSixty child asthma patients with attack of mild and moderate degree were randomly divided into the treated group (40 patients treated with ZHPR) and the control group (20 patients treated with western medicine). The therapeutic effect and laboratory indexes, including peripheral eosinophil count (EOS), serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) and plasma endothelin (ET), before and after treatment were observed.
RESULTSThe total effective rate in the treated group was 72.5%, which was not different to that in the control group (P > 0.05). The therapeutic effect between different TCM types (heat and cold types) in the treated group was not different significantly (P > 0.05). ET, IgE and EOS levels all lowered after treatment in the treated group, but as compared with those in the control group, the difference was insignificant (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe therapeutic effect of ZHPR in treating child asthma attack stage is equivalent to that of western medicine, it shows actions in improving laboratory indexes.

OBJECTIVETo observe the evolutionary tendency of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) of the limbic system in post-stroke model rats and the intervention effect of Yinao Jieyu Recipe (YJR).
METHODSMale Wistar rats were randomly divided into the normal control group (n =6), the sham-operation group (n =7), the multiple cerebral infarction (MCI) group (n =10), the post-stroke depression (PSD) group (n =10), the Chinese medicine (CM) treatment group (n =10), and the Western medicine (WM) treatment group (n =10) according to random digit table after open-field testing. Rats in the normal control group were routinely fed. 0. 3 mL normal saline was intravenously pushing from the external carotid artery to rats in the sham-operation group, and distilled water administered to them by gastrogavage. Each dose allogenic microthrombi were in vitro pushed to rats in the rest groups from the external carotid artery. The PSD model was duplicated by 21-day chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and single cage feeding in the PSD group 7 days after surgery. After preparing models rats in the CM group and the WM group were administered with YJR and Nimodipine respectively for 4 successive weeks. Changes of BDNF and the intervention effect of YJR were observed at week 1, 2, and 4 after intervention.
RESULTSImmunohistochemical results of BDNF showed, compared with the normal control group, expression levels of BDNF in the hippocampus, hypothalamus, and amygdala decreased in the MCI group at week 2 and 4 (P <0. 01 , P <0. 05) ; expression levels of BDNF in each part decreased in the PSD group at week 1-4 (P <0.01). Compared with the MCI group, expression levels of BDNF in each part decreased in the PSD group at week 1-4 (P <0. 01). Compared with the PSD group, expression levels of BDNF in each part increased in the CM group at week 1-4 (P <0. 01).
CONCLUSIONBDNF changes existed in post-stroke model rats, and YJR could slow down this progress.

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of different chemotherapy regimens in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). The therapeutic effects of 71 MM patients receiving standard chemotherapy regimens were retrospectively analyzed and evaluated. The results showed that 44 out of 71 new-diagnosed MM patients gained remission in varying degree, total effective rate was 61.9%, in which the rate of complete remission (CR) plus nearly complete remission (nCR) was 21.1%. 21 MM patients received M2 regimen gained total effective rate of 57.1%, in which the CR plus nCR were found in 5 MM patients, and partial remission (PR) was observed in 7 MM patients. 8 MM patients received MP chemotherapy regimen gained total effective rate of 37.5%, in which the CR + nCR was not found, but the PR was observed in 3 MM patients. 30 MM patients received VAD regimen gained total effective rate of 63.3%, in which CR + nCR and PR were found in 6 and 13 MM patients respectively, 12 MM patients received combined bortezomib regimen gained total effective rate of 83.3%, in which CR + nCR and PR were found in 4 and 6 MM patients respectively. The median time of progression and the median time of survival in 72 MM patients were 22.1 and 29.5 months respectively. The 3 and 5 year survival rates in 72 MM patients were 41.2% and 20.6% respectively. In conclusion, the chemotherapy regimen for new-diagnosed MM patients should be selected according to their clinical features and subtypes, the bortezomib-combined regimen may be considered as a new and effective regimen for MM patients.
