OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for the determination of particle size distribution of Budesonide nasal spray, and to analyze the consistency of particle size distribution of spray samples. METHODS:Water was used as dispersant for mixing and dispersing(1800 r/min). The particle sizes [d(0.1),d(0.5),d(0.9)] corresponded to accumulative particle size of 10%,50%and 90%were used as characteristic value. The distribution of granularity was determined by laser scattering method. The consisten-cy of particle size distribution of samples from 2 manufacturers (A,B) were analyzed among different batches or same batch of same manufacturer by SAS 9.3 statistical software. RESULTS:The mean values of d(0.1),d(0.5) and d(0.9) were 3.96 μm, 29.58 μm and 67.10 μm in manufacturer A. The mean values of d(0.1),d(0.5)and d(0.9)were 2.00 μm,7.53 μm and 28.51 μm in manufacturer B. By analysis,there was great difference in particle size of samples from 2 manufacturers. The particle size of the samples from manufacturer A were larger than that of manufacturer B. The consistency among different batches from manufacturer B was better,and the consistency among same batch were all good from 2 manufacturers. CONCLUSIONS:The established meth-od is suitable for particle size distribution of Budesonide nasal spray and the consistency analysis of particle size distribution.

OBJECTIVE: To observe clinical efficacy of Bifid tripie viable enteric-coated capsules in the treatment of children diarrhea after pneumonia. METHODS: 360 cases of children pneumonia were randomly divided into two groups. Treatment group were treated with antibiotics and Bifid triple viable enteric-coated capsules in duration of hospital stay(n=180). Control group were treated with antibiotics only (n=180). The incidence and severity of diarrhea in two groups were observed at the 3rd, 5th, 7th of therapy. RESULTS: The incidence of diarrhea at the 3rd, 5th, 7th of therapy in treatment group were 10.00%,16.67% and 13.33%, in control group 36.67%, 43.33% and 50.00%, with statistically significance(P

The serum TSH levels of 107 infants with subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) were > 20 mIU/L after 1-8 check-up, along with FT4, TT4, within low normal range. After given small dosage L-T4, for 4 weeks, blood TSH level obviously descended while FT4, TT4, ascended (all P <0.01). Seven cases of thyroid hypogenesis and 7 strumas were found by ultrasonography. It seems appropriate to use dosage of 3-4 μg·kg·-1·d-1 L-T4 in treating SH.

Purpose To study the malignant transformation after treating rat oval cell line ( WB-F344 ) with chemical carcinogen N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine ( MNNG) . Methods WB-F344 cells were cultured with MNNG for severe times. The biological characteristics of induced cells were detected through the following methods:to check proliferation activity by flow cytometry analysis, to examine malignant transformation degree of induced cells by soft agar assay and tumor formation in NOD/SCID mice, and to investi-gate the transcriptional and protein levels of hepatocellular carcinoma marker GGT, GST-P by real time-PCR. Results Oval cells in-duced by MNNG showed changes in biological characteristics and malignant molecular markers. Conclusion Hepatic oval cells model is successfully established, which can be confirmed by tumor formation in NOD/SCID mice.

AIM:To explore the production and cytotoxicity of the reactive oxygen species(ROS)induced by diallyl trisulfide(DATS)in HL-60 cells.METHODS:HL-60 cells were either treated with various doses of DATS alone,or DATS combination with apocynin,a specific NADPH oxidase inhibitor,or with antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine(NAC)for 0,1,3,6,12 and 24 h,respectively.The intracellular ROS level was measured by flow cytometry.The activity of NADPH oxidase was evaluated by NBT reduction experiment.The content of both malondialdehyde(MDA)and the protein carbonyl were analyzed by spectrophotometer.RESULTS:The results from flow cytometry indicated that DATS significantly increased the intracellular ROS level in HL-60 cells(P

Objectives To explore the clinical application of deceleration capacity of rate (DC), acceleration capacity of rate (AC) and heart rate variability (HRV) in children with precardial distress of unknown origin. Methods A total of 56 children with precardial distress of unknown origin and 63 healthy children aged 6 to 17 years were examined by 24 h dynamic elec-trocardiogram, and the indexes of DC and HRV were compared between these two groups. Results DC value of children with precardial distress is less than that of the control group (P<0.05), AC value is greater than that of the control group (P<0.05), and heat rate (HR) is greater than that of the control group (P<0.05). No statistical differences were observed in the indexes of HRV between the two groups. The indexes of DC show a signiifcant positive correlation with HRV in children with precardial distress(r=0.27~0.40, P<0.05), while appear a negative relation with HR (r=-0.46, P=0.000). In contrast, the indexes of AC show a signiifcant negative correlation with HRV (r=-0.57~-0.34, P<0.05), and appears a positive relation with HR(r=0.61, P=0.000). HR value is higher in male children less than 12 years old with precardial distress than that of age-matched males in control group, and RMSSD is lower than the latter. DC value of male children more than 12 years with precardial distress is lower than that of age-matched males in control group, while AC value is higher than that of the latter;DC value is signiifcant lower in fe-male children more than 12 yeares with precardial distress than that of age-matched females in the control group (P<0.05). Con-clusions The activity of vagus nerve in children with precardial distress of unknown origin is decreased. DC value is signiifcantly lower than that of control group, and shows correlation with indexes of HRV. There is no signiifcant difference in DC and HRV value between male and female children with precardial distress. DC value is lower in children aged 12 or older with precardial distress than that of age-matched children in the control group, which indicates adolescents are vulnerable to autonomic nerve functional disorder.

Objective To investigate genetic characteristics of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (N.gonorrhoeae) isolates from Guangzhou city in 2014,and to analyze the relationship of N.gonorrhoeae multi-antigen sequence typing (NGMAST) sequence types (STs) with ciprofloxacin resistance.Methods An agar dilution method was used to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ciprofloxacin in 97 N.gonorrhoeae isolates from Guangzhou city.PCR was performed to amplify the gyrA,parC,porB and tbpB genes from these isolates,followed by gene sequencing and determination of NG-MAST STs.Results Of the 97 N.gonorrhoeae isolates,95 (97.9％) were resistant to ciprofloxacin,including 41 high-level (MIC ≥ 16 mg/L) and 54 low-level (1 mg/L ≤ MIC ＜ 16 mg/L) resistant strains.Mutations were detected at codons 91 and 95 encoding serine in the gyrA gene of all the 95 ciprofloxacin-resistant strains,and in the parC gene of 93 resistant strains.The frequency of the mutation at codon 87 in the parC gene was 85.4％ (35/41) in high-level resistant strains,significantly higher than that in low-level resistant strains (59.3％[32/54],x2 =7.64,P ＜ 0.05).MAST STs were successfully determined for all the 97 N.gonorrhoeae isolates except 1 isolate with incorrect PCR amplicons.Of the 96 genotyped isolates,50 were assigned to 35 known STs by using the NG-MAST website (www.ngmast.net),among which,10 STs each contained 2 to 4 isolates.The most common ST was ST5309.Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that the 96 genotyped N.gonorrhoeae isolates could be classified into 2 groups,and the proportion of isolates with MIC ≥ 16 mg/L is 46.4％ (39/84) in group 1,but only 1/12 in group 2 (x2 =6.27,P=0.012).Conclusions High-level resistance of N.gonorrhoeae to ciprofloxacin may be mainly associated with the mutation at codon 87 in the parC gene.NG-MAST STs may be related to the degree of ciprofloxacin resistance.

Objective To investigate the quality of life and analyze related factors of all the disabled at the entry of the Home Service Program in Zhabei district, Shanghai. Methods All the disabled were surveyed using the Chinese version of Short-Form 36 Health Survey(SF-36). Results 280 disabled people finished the survey, the total score was (59.72±20.03). There were significant differences in the scores among different ages, types of disabilities and status of subsistence allowances (P<0.01). The age was negatively correlated with quality of life (P<0.01). The education degree and the status of subsistence allowances were positively correlated with quality of life (P<0.05, P<0.01).Conclusion People with disability have poor quality of life in Zhabei district, Shanghai.

Objective:To investigate the effect of miR-200c-3p on the proliferation and apoptosis of nephroblastoma SK-NEP-1 cell and its mechanism.Methods:From January 2015 to August 2019, nephroblastoma tissue and peritumoral tissue of 30 patients in Shenzhen Children′s hospital were collected.The experimental group of mimic negative control, miR-200c-3p and miR-200c-3p inhibitor was set up.The expression of miR-200c-3p in 30 paired nephroblastoma tissues and adjacent kidney tissues were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The differential expression of miR-200c-3p was also detected in SK-NEP-1 and 293FT cell lines.The effects of miR-200c and miR-200c-3p inhibitor on the proliferation, cell cycle distribution and apoptosis of SK-NEP-1 cells were detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)and flow cytometry assays, respectively.Xenograft tumors were generated by peri-renal adipose tissue injection to assess the effect of miR-200c-3p on tumor growth in vivo.The pathological morphology of xenograft tumors was observed by HE staining.The proliferation index of Ki-67 were detected by immunohistochemistry.Western blot method was used to detect the B-cell lymphoma 2(Bcl-2), Bcl-2 related X protein (Bax) and cleaved cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3(Caspase-3)expression level on xenograft tumors. Results:The expression level of miR-200c-3p in nephroblastoma(0.420±0.587)was significantly lower than that in matched normal kidney(1.500±0.504)( t=8.613, P<0.001). The expression level of miR-200c-3p in SK-NEP-1 cells (0.363±0.006) was significantly lower than that in human embryonic kidney 293FT cells (0.807±0.186) ( t=4.136, P<0.05). The group and time interaction results of CCK-8 proved that miR-200c-3p could inhibit the proliferation of SK-NEP-1 cells( F=16.81, P<0.001). The flow cytometer test of cell cycle and apoptosis showed that miR-200c-3p could block in G0/G1 and S phase( t=-7.770, P<0.01; t=11.501, P<0.001). Moreover, it increased the early apoptosis rate and decreased the late apoptosis rate ( t=-22.270, P<0.001; t=4.612, P<0.01). A orthotopic transplantation assay was employed to evaluate the effect of miR-200c-3p and miR-200c-3p inhibitor on the proliferation of SK-NEP-1 cells.The final volume of tumor miR-200c-3p group [(0.419±0.16) cm 3]was significantly lower than those in the control group [(2.469±0.914) cm 3, t=0.507, P<0.001]. However, the miR-200c-3p inhibitor group had no significant difference [(1.627±0.189) cm 3; t=2.209, P=0.052]. miR-200c-3p overexpression upregulated expression levels of apoptotic proteins cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax ( t=-47.000, -82.730, all P<0.001), but downregulated the expression level of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2( t=53.740, P<0.001). Conclusions:The overexpression of miR-200c-3p can inhibit the proliferation, promote the apoptosis of the SK-NEP-1 cells and partially inhibited tumorigenicity of nude mouse acted as a tumor suppressor gene.
