Plastic bronchitis is a “multiple-system” involved syndrome that is characterized by the formarion of thick,arborizing mucofibrinous tracheobronchial casts,which can result in hard breathing or pulmonary failure.Plastic bronchitis in children occurs following correction of complex cardiac defects,or in children with inflammatory pulmonary conditions.It is a condition of unknown causes and has different clinical manifestations.Early diagnosis is very important and so far endoscopic removal of the casts is the most effective measure.

Objective To compare the level of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients with diabetes treated with actrapid monotard analog or actrapid monotard. Methods One hundred and twenty patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into actrapid monotard analog group and actrapid monotard group with 60 cases in each by admission number. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2hPBG), HbA1c were obtained and analyzed. Results The overall cure rate were similar between actrapid monotard analog group and actrapid monotard group (83.3%, 50/60 vs. 86.7%, 52/60, P ＞ 0.05 ). There was no significant difference in FBG, 2hPBG before treatment between two groups (P ＞ 0.05),but there was significant difference at 2 weeks after treatment between two groups (P ＜ 0.05 ) . There was no significant difference in HbA1c before treatment between two groups (P＞ 0.05 ) ,but there was significant difference at 3 months after treatment between two groups (P ＜ 0.05 ). FBG, 2hPBG, HbA1c after treatment were improved compared with before treatment in two groups (P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusion Actrapid monotard analog provides better blood glucose control compare with actrapid monotard while providing the convenience of injecting immediately before meals.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy and safety of different density of Levobupivacaine for combined spinal and epidural anesthesia (CSEA) in elder patients. METHODS: Sixty elder patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) were randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 groups: Group Ⅰ(n=20,hypobaric group) received 0.75% Levobupivacaine 1 mL+ 0.5 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection,Group Ⅱ(n=20,isobaric group) received 0.75% Levobupivacaine 1 mL+0.5 mL cerebrospinal fluid,and Group Ⅲ(n=20,hyperbaric group) received 1 mL 0.75% Levobupivacaine+0.5 mL 10% Glucose. RESULTS: All the 3 groups achieved satisfactory anesthetic efficacy. The incidences of hypotension,nausea,vomiting and shivering were significantly lower in Group Ⅲ than in other two groups (Group Ⅰ and Group Ⅱ)(P

JM is a acute lymphocytic leukemia cell line derived from immature T lymphocytes in human thymus.We bserved the immunoregulation effect of supernatants from JM cell culture(SPN_(JM))onproliferation of human B ymphocytes and mouse spleen cells by using purified human B lymphocytesand mouse spleen cells stimulated with AC.It is showed that SPN_(JM),which suppresses T lymphocyteproliferation,enhance the proliferation response of uman B cell and mouse spleen cells stimulatedwith SAC.Without inducement of SAC,SPN_(JM) with HrIL-2 still nhances B lympohocyteproliferation.Additionally,SPN_(JM) is able to up regulate T cell proliferation response at lowconcentration(1:640)although it suppresses T cell proliferation at high concentration.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of defined individual treatment course as evaluation index of rational use of drugs.METHODS:The doses of antibiotics and treatment course in 63 patients with type Ⅰ incision operation of our hospital in Jan.2010 were taken as examples.Case analysis,DUI evaluation and defined individual treatment course evaluation were adopted.Similar results were obtained by 3 kinds of methods.RESULTS&CONCLUSION:Results of 3 kinds of methods are consistent.DUI evaluation isn't closely associated with treatment course.Defined individual treatment course is more sensitive and available than DUI based on the introduction of dose and treatment course.

Objective To estimate the association of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and the serum concentration of interleukin (IL)-18 with ulcerative colitis (UC) . Methods Samples collected from 50 patients with UC and 128 healthy controls were detected for SNPs of IL-18 gene including rs187238, rs5744228, rs360718 and rs360717 using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing. Meanwhile, the serum level of IL-18 was measured. ResultsSerum concentration of IL-18 was higher in patients with UC than in healthy controls [(3029.9±111.7) pg/ml vs ( 133.2±39.4) pg/ml,(P<0.01)], rs187238 C, rs360718 C and rs360717 A were significantly related to UC (X~2=9.26, P<0.01). There was significant difference in frequencies of rs187238 C, rs360718 C and rs360717 A between patients with UC and healthy controls (X~2=9.26, P<0. 01). Serum concentration of IL-18 was higher in UC patients with C allele than in healthy controls (P<0.05).Conclusions There is correlation between SNP and serum level of IL-18 , which may involve in susceptibility to UC.

ObjectiveTo observe the lesions of psoriasis vulgaris by confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM).MethodsThe typical lesions of 120 patients with psoriasis vulgaris were observed by CLSM,and scanning results were recorded.ResultsOf the 120 patients with psoriasis vulgaris,all (100％)had dilated and twisted capillaries in dermal papillae,113 (94.17％) acanthosis,106 (88.33％) parakeratosis,86 (71.67％) Munro microabscesses at the level of stratum corneum,71(59.17％) diminished or disappeared stratum granulosum.There were a few(1 to 2) dilated capillary lumens in papillary dermis,with no obvious reduction in the distance between dermal papillae.Some dermal papillary rings lost their integrity or brightness slightly in 24 of the 27 patients with psoriasis guttata.The height of stratum spinosum was 96.85 ± 17.88 μm (ranged:80-150 μm) in patients with psoriasis guttata,lower than that in those with plaque psoriasis (average:143.45 ± 23.19 μm,range:100-190 μm).In lesions of plaque psoriasis,the capillaries in dermal papillae were apparently dilated with hyperemia,showing a characteristic'S' shape or horseshoe appearance; the diameter of dermal papillae was increased and the distance between dermal papillae was reduced,giving a 'transverse section of lotus roots' appearance.Dermal papillary rings completely disappeared in 25 of the 29 patients with plaque psoriasis.ConclusionCLSM may serve as an aid in the diagnosis of psoriasis vulgaris.

Objective To compare the consumption of the drugs for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) in patients with different blood groups. Methods One hundred female ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 30-50 yr, body mass index ＜ 30 kg/m2 , scheduled for elective total hysterectomy or myomectomy, were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to the blood group: group A ( n= 25), group B ( n = 30), group AB ( n = 11 ) and group O ( n = 34). Patients received iv injection of flurbiprofen 30 min before the end of surgery and sufentanil at the end of surgery. PCIA with sufentanil 1.2 μg/ml ( bolus dose 2.0 ml, background infusion 0.5 ml/h, lockout interval 5 min) was performed when the VAS score ≤4. The loading dose and consumption on 1 st and 2nd day after operation for sufentanil were recorded. The adverse reactions were observed.Results The loading dose and consumption on 1st day after operation for sufentanil were the highest in group A and B, the second in group AB, and the lowest in group O among the 4 groups. Conclusion The consumption of the drugs for PCIA is different in patients with different blood groups.

BACKGROUND: The denervated skeletal muscle is chiefly characteristic as the loss of neurotrophic factor, which may cause the muscle atrophy degeneration and fibrosis. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect on the muscle satellite cells and muscle atrophy by the implantation of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) released through silicon tube in the gastrocnemius. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomly control animal experiment was finished at the Animal Experiment Laboratory of Shenyang Medical College Fengtian Hospital in November 2006. MATERIALS: Twenty-eight Wistar healthy male rats (weighing 250-300 g) were adopted. Silicon tube was prepared by the encapsulation with bFGF or physiological saline, and sealed with 502 glue. METHODS: The sciatic nerve of left lower limb was cut off, and then gastrocnemius was taken out. All of 28 Wistar rats were divided into experiment group and control group randomly, each group involved 14 rats. The experimental gastrocnemius was encapsulated with silicon tube containing bFGF, while the control group with physiological saline. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: At day 30 postoperatively, the following indicators were evaluated: wet weight of gastrocnemius and wave amplitude of muscle fibrillation potential; proliferating cell nuclear antigen positive nuclei on surface of muscle fibers, diameter and section area of gastrocnemius fiber under light microscope; ultrastructure of gastrocnemius under electron microscope. RESULTS: The number of muscle satellite cell nuclei in the experimental group was more than that in the control group (P

Recently,increasing evidence suggests that gingivitis and periodontitis may be one of the etiological factors for some adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth,preeclampsia,fetal growth restriction and lateral miscarriage.Although there are some conflicting findings and potential problems regarding uncontrolled underlying risk factors,most of the clinical studies indicate a positive correlation of gingivitis and periodontitis with those complications.This review discusses the relationship and its possible pathological mechanism in order to better prevent the development of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
