Objective To investigate the influence of Xiyanping injections therapy on inflammation factors and lung function for old patients with acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).Methods Ninety-two patients with AECOPD were randomly divided into the control group (n =46) and observation group(n =46).Patients in control group were given conventional treatment,in observation group were given XiYanPing injections for 2 weeks treatment on the basis of treatment of control group.The C-reactive protein(CRP),blood sedimentation rate (ESR),interleukin 10 (IL-10),1 s forced expiratory volume (FEV1),forced vital capacity (FVC),FEV1/FVC change and clinical effect of the two groups were recorded.Results There was no statistically significant difference in terms of CRP,ESR and IL-10 between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05).After treatment,CRP and ESR in control group were reduced from (35.6 ±9.8) mg/L and (56.2 ± 16.4) mm/h to (14.2 ± 8.1) mg/L and (22.4 ± 11.6) mm/1 h and the difference was significant (t =-14.515,-12.008;P < 0.05),while in observation group decreased from (36.4 ± 8.2) mg/L,(54.6 ± 15.4) to (8.2 ± 6.2) mg/L,(16.8 ± 9.6) mm/h and the difference was significant (t =-18.468,-15.249;P < 0.05).Meanwhile,the level of IL-10 in the two groups significantly increased and the observation group showed more.IL-10 in control group increased from (168.8 ± 62.4) ng/L to (212.4 ± 85.6) ng/L and the difference was significant(t =5.468,P < 0.05),and in observation group increased from (172.8 ± 65.1) ng/L to (266.4 ± 92.6) ng/L and the difference was significant (t =6.368,P < 0.05).The FEV1 and FVC were markedly increased after treatment and the observation group showed increase more.FEV1and FVC in control group were increased from (1.41 ±0.15) L and (2.62 ±0.88) L to (1.62 ± 0.18) L and (2.89 ± 0.92) L,and the differences were significant (t =2.186,2.415 ; P < 0.05).While in observation group,FEV1 and FVC were increased from (1.42 ± 0.16) L and (2.59 ± 0.84) L to (1.84 ±0.21) L and (3.12 ± 0.94) L,and the differences were significant (t =4.366,4.585 ; P < 0.05).Total efficacy of observation group was 91.3% (42/46),obviously higher than that of control group(78.3% (36/46) ; x2 =4.658 ;P < 0.05).Conclusion Xiyanping injections can reduce the inflammatory response in patients with AECOPD,improve lung function and the effect of treatment.

Objective To study the expression levels of SCCA1 and SCCA2 mRNA in tissues of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. To investigate the role of this gene in the clinical diagnosis, evaluation of treatment and observation of prognosis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Methods Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of SCCA1 and SCCA2 mRNA in tissues of 60 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma and those of 30 cases of normal cervical tissues. Results The expression level of SCCA2 mRNA in tissues of 30 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma was higher than in those of 15 cases of normal cervical tissues (4.405 ± 2.310, 9.088 ± 2.195) (t =-6.513, P <0.001), while the expression level of SCCA 1 mRNA did not significantly differ between normal and malignant tissues (P >0.05). The expression of SCCA2 mRNA was relevant to FIGO stages and there was a tendency for this gene to increase with the stage getting worse (F =8.313, P <0.05). Moreover, the overexpression of SCCA2 mRNA was significantly correlated with lymph node metastases (t =2.853, P <0.05). The expression of SCCA2 mRNA was not correlated with age and pathological grading (P >0.05). However, the expression of SCCA1 mRNA was not correlated with age,FIGO stages, lymph node metastases and histological grade (P >0.05). Conclusion The expression of SCCA2 mRNA may provide help for more accurate diagnosis on the clinical stages and lymph node metastases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective:To determine the valproate concentration in plasma of epilepsy patients by HPLC, and compare with the re-sults of chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay ( CMIA) to evaluate the consistency of the two methods. Methods:HPLC and CMIA was respectively applied to determine the plasma concentration of valproate in 230 epileptic patients. The correlation of the two methods was studied by Passing-Bablok regression and Bland-Altman method. Results:The regression equation of the determination re-sults of HPLC (Y) and CMIA (X) was Y=1. 069 7X+2. 338 2 (R2 =0. 969, n=230), which showed promising correlation. Bland-Altman analysis showed that the consistency of the two methods was poor, and the values of HPLC were higher. Conclusion: HPLC and CMIA used for the determination of valproate plasma concentration show good correlation. However, the consistency is poor and there is system error. In the clinical treatment, adjustment and choice should be paid more attention.

BACKGROUND:The micro-ecological environment has been broken when the ocular prosthesis was inset into the conjunctival sac. The recede of self cleaning function is more conducive to the microbial growth and colonization. The cleaning of plaque biofilm on ocular prosthesis surface affects the patient's wearing comfort and quality of life. It is necessary to seek an effective cleaning method. OBJECTIVE:To compare the clearance effect of five cleaning methods on the palque biofilm on ocular prosthesis surface. METHODS: The conjunctival secretions from 84 patients who were subjected to ocular prosthesis repair were taken for bacterial culture and identification. Fifty pieces of self-curing resin and thermosetting resin artificial eyes were produced. The artificial eyes in each group were randomly divided into five groups, and were cleaned respectively with clear water, volume fraction of 75% ethanol, Boston SIMPLUS, polident and toothpaste. After the completion of the cleaning, the test piece was conducted residual biofilm culture. The clearance effects of different processing modes were evaluated using colony counting method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Eighty-four specimens were submitted for inspection, of which 49 were positive. The Staphylococcusaureus separation rate was 14.29%.Staphylococcus epidermidis separation rate accounted for 13.10%. Maxwel Corynebacterium separation rate accounted for 7.14%. When water, Boston SIMPLUS and toothpaste were used for cleaning, theStaphylococcus aureus colony number in the self-curing resin group was higher than that in the thermosetting resin group (P< 0.05); when ethanol and polident were used for cleaning, there was no difference in the Staphylococcus aureus colony number between these two groups. In self-curing resin, the colony count in the clear water treatment group was higher than that in the other treatment groups (P < 0.05). The colony count in the ethanol treatment group was lower than that in the Boston SIMPLUS group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the colony count between other groups. In thermosetting resin, the colony count in the clear water treatment group was higher than that in the other treatment groups (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the colony count between other groups. These results demonstrate that ethanol, Boston SIMPLUS, polident and toothpaste have better cleaning effects onStaphylococcus aureusbiofilms on the surface of two kinds of ocular prostheses than the clear water rinse. Overal, it is encouraged to clean the artificial eyes using polident and Boston SIMPLUS, in order to avoid the occurrence of microbial infection in the conjunctival sac after wearing ocular prosthesis.

Objective To identify the pathogen of an influenza epidemic situation and analyze the genetic characteristic of hemagglutinin( HA ) gene and neuraminidase(NA) gene of this pathogen. Methods Real-time RT-PCR was used to dectect nucleic acid of the pandemic( H1N1 ) 2009 virus from oropharyngeal swabs of initial influenza-like illness in epidemic. The viruses were was inoculated and isolated with embryonated eggs. And the HA gene and NA gene were sequenced to analyze their characteristic. Results The influenza epidemic situation was caused by the pandemic( H1N1 ) 2009 virus. The HA and NA sequences data showed that the virus had the high homology with reference virus, and the NA sequences had not the H274Y mutation. Conclusion In this study, the pandemic( H1N1 ) 2009 virus were similar with the vaccine-like virus and the isolated virus of China, and sensitive to oseltamivir.
