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

Objective:This study was to investigate the expression of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) KCNQ1OT1 during the differentiation program of human preadipocyte and to look for the changes of its expression in adipose tissue in obese subject, as well as to clarify the correlation between KCNQ1OT1 and obesity, and to provide clues for further understanding the role of lncRNA in the development of obesity.Methods:Quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of KCNQ1OT1 in human preadipocyte at day 0, 1, 3, 5, 9, and 12 during differentiation program, quantitative PCR was also used to detect KCNQ1OT1 expression in white adipose tissue of obese and normal people, which related to PPIA internal reference gene. Pearson correlation analyses were used to explore the relationships of KCNQ1OT1 with body mass index, triglyceride, and total cholesterol.Results:During differentiation program, the relative expression of KCNQ1OT1 levels at day of 1, 3, 5, 9, and 12 were (25.89±3.10), (24.78±5.58), (15.53±2.11), (6.75±0.71), (4.81±0.84), which showed an upward trend compared with day 0. This difference was significant ( P<0.01), especially in the early stage of differentiation (day 1 and day 3). The relative expression of KCNQ1OT1 in visceral adipose tissue of obese subjects was 0.79±0.05, which was significantly higher than that of normal people ( P<0.01). KCNQ1OT1 was positively correlated with body mass index ( r=0.569, P<0.01), triacylglycerol content ( r=0.489, P<0.05), and total cholesterol content( r=0.591, P<0.01). Conclusion:KCNQ1OT1 expression level, which was up-regulated in adipose tissue from obese subjects, increased during the differentiation program of preadipocytes, and also positively correlated with body mass index and serum triglyceride content. These results suggest that KCNQ1OT1 may be an important regulator of human preadipocyte differentiation and a potential target for prevention and treatment of obesity.

Objective:
To explore the advantages and disadvantages of a new management model of eye community based nurse-led clinics.
Methods:
From March 2016 to March 2018, a community clinic of a tertiary eye hospital, Qingdao Eye Hospital was analyzed. The situation of staff and equipment allocation and adjustment in the Clinic during the two years was also reviewed.
Results:
A total of 17042 patients were admitted to the community clinic of a tertiary eye hospital in the past two years, among whom 44.9% were over 65 years old. Ocular surface diseases (34.4%, 5862), cataracts (31.6%, 5382), and refractive errors (17.2%, 2928) were the top three causes of patient visits. The waiting time for NLC patients was 1~114 (8.5±8.5) min, and the waiting time for outpatients in the main hospital area was 32.0~61.0 (42.4±7.1) min. The difference was statistically significant (

In response to the Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Promoting the Inheritance, Innovation, and Development of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and the spirit of the National Conference on TCM, Chinese Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of traditional Chinese and western medicine to discuss the clinical advantages of TCM and integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR) and they reached a basic consensus. In recent years, the prevalence of AR has been on the rise, threatening the quality of life of patients and giving rise to a heavy burden to both the patients and the society. AR is resulted from immune imbalance rather than reduced immunity or hyperimmunity, and the imbalance is similar to the Yin-yang disharmony in TCM. In the treatment of this disease, western medicine features rapid onset. However, it is cost-intensive and causes severe surgical trauma, and the recurrence is common. TCM boasts diverse methods for AR, which can be used in all stages of this disease. It has advantages in controlling symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, or dysosmia in the attack stage, preventing recurrence in the remission stage, and treating refractory AR or steroid-resistant AR. In particular, acupuncture enjoys a reputation in treatment of AR, which has been supported by evidence-based medicine and recommended by guidelines. While treating local symptoms of AR, TCM regulates the psychosomatic conditions, which facilitates chronic disease management and long-term follow-up. We should integrate the advantages of TCM and western medicine, give full play to the unique nonnegligible and irreplaceable advantages of TCM, formulate a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment scheme for learning and promotion, and summarize the research outcomes to promote the theoretical innovation of TCM on AR from the perspective of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

Long-term primary culture of mammalian cells has been always difficult due to unavoidable senescence. Conventional methods for generating immortalized cell lines usually require manipulation of genome which leads to change of important biological and genetic characteristics. Recently, conditional reprogramming (CR) emerges as a novel next generation tool for long-term culture of primary epithelium cells derived from almost all origins without alteration of genetic background of primary cells. CR co-cultures primary cells with inactivated mouse 3T3-J2 fibroblasts in the presence of RHO-related protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor Y-27632, enabling primary cells to acquire stem-like characteristics while retain their ability to fully differentiate. With only a few years' development, CR shows broad prospects in applications in varied areas including disease modeling, regenerative medicine, drug evaluation, drug discovery as well as precision medicine. This review is thus to comprehensively summarize and assess current progress in understanding mechanism of CR and its wide applications, highlighting the value of CR in both basic and translational researches and discussing the challenges faced with CR.
