Objective To study the different periods of childhood bronchial asthma induced sputum of the percentage change of inflammatory cells,and to explore part of the pathogenesis of asthma in children.Methods 69 children with asthma(the age ≥5 years old) were selected.By clinical symptoms,they were divided into acute exacerbation and clinical remission of 3 months and 6 months.At the same time,in the same groups of hospital pediatric clinic,22 healthy children were chosen as control group.The percentage of neutrophils and eosinophils in induced sputum was detected.Through the comparison,we can explore the correlation between the two kinds of inflammatory cells in different periods of asthma.Results Comparing the percentage of neutrophils among the four groups,acute exacerbation group was compared with clinical remission three months group,clinical remission six months group and the normal control group,acute exacerbation group was higher than the clinical remission group of three months,clinical remission of six months and normal control group [(57.905 ± 11.615)％ vs (40.137 ± 11.668)％,(33.825 ± 12.457) ％,(23.836 ± 13.585) ％,P =0.039,0.000,0.000].The clinical remission of three months and clinical remission six months group were higher than the normal control group(P =0.000,0.032).The clinical remission of three months group and 6 months group had no significant difference (P =0.538).The percentage of eosinophils in acute exacerbation group was higher than the clinical remission of three months group,clinical remission of six months and normal control group [(4.090 ± 1.452) ％ vs (2.685 ± 1.190) ％,(2.151 ± 1.417) ％,(1.848 t 0.887) ％,P =0.002,0.000,0.000].The clinical remission of three months group and the normal control group had no significant difference (P =0.937).Conclusion Asthma in children induced sputum neutrophil percentage and eosinophil percentage are significantly higher in acute exacerbation.The study shows that neutrophils and eosinophils are involved in the part of the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma in children.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of carvedilol on blood pressure in hypertension patients and vascular endothelial function. METHODS: 100 inpatients with primary hypertension were collected from our hospital from Jan. 2008 to Jan. 2010 and randomly divided into treatment group and control group(n=50). Treatment group were given initial oral dose of carvedilol tablets 6.25 mg twice a day for 7～14 days if it was tolerated; the dose of carvedilol tablets increased to 12.5 mg or 25 mg twice a day according to blood pressure at trough concentration if it was necessary. Control group were given carvedilol tablets 6.25 mg twice a day if it was tolerated. After 1 week, control group received double dose of metoprolol with maximum dose of carvedilol of 50 mg. The treatment course was 3 months. The contents of NO and ET in serum of 2 groups were detected. Antihypertensive effect and effects of carvedilol on vascular endothelial dilatation and systolic function were observed and compared between 2 groups. RESULTS: After treatment, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both groups were decreased significantly(P

Objective To investigate the influence of t he mass screening on the diagnostic status of the conventional ordinary prostati c cancer (CaP). Methods Sixty seven cases of prostate ca ncer detected by mass screening (January 1996～December 2001) and 358 cases diag n osed at the outpatient of various hospitals in Changchun (January 1986～December 2001) were compared in terms of age distribution,clinical stages,level of serum prostate special antigen(PSA),pathological grade and treatment modalities,with a SPSS analysis system. Results The annual average incide nce of CaP during 1999 to 2001 increased 4.72 times when compared to the 1986 to 1989’s.In the screening group,the cases with clinical stage A and B accounted for 58.2%. In the clinical group, it was only 27.9%,and mostly detected incident ally.Furthermore,in the screening group the percentage of the cases beyond 20 ng /ml PSA and of poorly differentiated carcinoma were much lower compared to the c linical group.These differences were statistically significant.The cases of radi cal prostatectomy in the screening group increased 15.3% compared with that of t he clinical group. Conclusions Only the mass screening c an really reveal the actual prevalence of prostate cancer.It can markedly raise the number of prostate cancer,especially the cancer in the early stage.The mass screening is inevitable to detect the curable early stage prostate cancer.

Objective: To evaluate the effect and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with PA-MSHA injection for breast cancer patients. Methods: An open randomized controlled clinical trial was con-ducted. Fourty patients with breast cancer were randomly assigned to neoadjuvant chemotherapy group (the control group, n=20) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with PA-MSHA injection group (the experi-ment group, n=20). The evaluation of therapeutic effect was carried out when the treatment was completed. Kamofsky score was recorded before and after therapy. Venous blood was drawn before and after therapy and immune function (IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, and IL-10) and other indicators (Caspase-3, VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9) were measured by double antibody ELISA test. Adverse effects of PA-MSHA during therapy were ob-served and recorded. Results: The overall response rate (RR) in the experiment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in the pathologic complete remis-sion (pCR) between the experiment group and the control group (P>0.05). In the experimental group, pCR was significantly different before and after therapy (P<0.01). The score in the experimental group was signifi-cantly higher than that in the control group after therapy (P<0.01). With the treatment of chemotherapy and PA-MSHA injection, IFN-γ and IL-2 levels were significantly higher while IL-4 and IL-10 levels were significant-ly lower in the experiment group (P<0.05). A significant increase in serum Caspase-3 and a significant de-crease in serum VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9 (P<0.05) after therapy were also observed in the experimental group. The level of serum MMP-9 was decreased significantly (P=<0.05) after therapy in the control group. Con-clusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with PA-MSHA injection can significantly improve the RR of breast cancer patients, enhance their cellular immune function, induce the apoptosis and restrain the metasta-sis of breast cancer cells. The PA-MSHA has been proved to be an ideal supplementary therapy for breast cancer.

Objective To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Danshen Chuanxiongqin Injection (DCI) in the treatment of angina pectoris. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding DCI in the treatment of angina pectoris were searched in CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Database, CBM, PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library by Feb. 2014. Two researchers independently retrieved the RCTs and extracted the information. The Cochrane risk of bias method was used to assess the quality of the included studies, and a meta-analysis was conducted with Review Manager 5.2 software. Results A total of 12 RCTs with 1145 participants were included. The meta-analysis indicated that the combined use of DCI and conventional treatment with western medicine was more effective in the outcomes of the total clinical effective rate [RR=1.27, 95%CI (1.19,1.35), P<0.000 01], the total effective rate of ECG [RR=1.34, 95%CI (1.23,1.46), P<0.000 01], and decrease of plasma viscosity [MD=-0.15, 95%CI (-0.25,-0.05), P=0.004] and fibrinogen [MD=-0.96, 95%CI (-1.14,-0.78), P<0.000 01]. And there were no adverse drug reaction reports. Conclusion Based on this systematic evaluation, DCI combined with conventional therapy is effective and relatively safe in treating angina pectoris, but it still needs larger samples, multi-center, and high quality RCT to verify.
