Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2006;0(16):-
Objective To study the effect of adenovirus type 3I,7b on the expressions of mRNA and protein of transforming growth factor-beta 1(TGF-?1) in human embryonic lung fibroblast cells.Method The expression of mRNA and protein of TGF-?1 were determined in human embryonic lung fibroblast cells before and after being infected by adenovirus type 3I,7b and in normal fibroblast cells with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and in situ hybridization.Results The mRNA and protein of TGF-?1 expression in human embryonic lung fibroblast cells increased siginificantly after being infected by adenovirous type 3I,7b compared with those in normal fibroblast cells(Pa0.05).Conclusion Lung fibroblast cells and TGF-?1 may play some roles in pathophysiological processes of viral pneumonia.

Objective To investigate interleukin 10 (IL 10,Th2 type cytokines) and interferon gamma (IFN ?,Th1 type cytokines) secreting capacity by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in 30 patients with systemic lupus erythematousus (SLE) and 10 healthy individuals,and try to understand the role of Th1/Th2 balance in the pathogenesis of SLE.Method Sandwich ELISA was used to measure IL 10 and IFN ? level in the supernatant of culture from PBMCs.Results The level of IL 10 produced spontaneously by PBMCs in active stage was significantly higher than in static phase and healthy person ( P 0 05).Conclusion These data suggest that the Th2 type cytokine (IL 10) was increased in patients with SLE,and an imbalance towards Th2 predominance may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of SLE.Regulating IL 10 level may provide a new approach for the treatment of SLE.

Objective To investigate the value of the expressions of estrogen receptor(ER)and progesterone receptor(PR)in the cast-off cells from the fluid of latex ductal lavage in the diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases.Methods A total of 58 female out-patients were examined by fiberoptic ductoscopy(FDS).All patients were divided into 6 groups by the complaints,physical examination,ultrasound and FDS:normal group(10 persons without symptoms and abnormalities in any examination),galactostasis group(n=19),latex fill up group(n=11),intraductal papilloma group(n=2),mammary ductal ectasia group(n=7)and contralateral examination after mastectomy for breast cancer group(n=9).A total of 168 ducts were successfully examined by FDS,and the expressions of ER and PR in the cast-off cells were detected among all of the samples.Results The positive rates of ER and PR expression in the cast-off cells from the fluid of latex ductal lavage in benign breast disease groups were much higher than those in normal group(P

Objective To explore the correlations of expressions of gastric mucosa water channel aquaporin AQP3 and AQP4 and different gastritis types. Methods The gastric mucosa was mounted under gastroscope. The types of gastric mucosa pathology and activity were tested by the common pathohistology. The expressions of AQP3 and AQP4 were determined by immunohistology. Results The expressions of AQP3 and AQP4 of chronic superficial gastritis were significantly higher than those in the non-gastritis group and chronic atrophic gastritis group (P < 0.01), especially in the activity period of chronic superficial gastritis. The expressions of AQP3 and AQP4 of chronic atrophic gastritis group were reduced when compared to those in the non-gastritis group, in spite of no statistical differences between them. While compared to the non-gastritis group , the expression of AQP3 of chronic atrophic gastritis group during the active stage was remarkably decreased (P < 0.05). Conclusion The expressions of AQP3 and AQP4 of gastric mucosa in chronic gastritis in various pathological types are different. AQP3 and AQP4 may be the targeted point , which could be used for the differential diagnosis and treatment of chronic gastritis of different pathological types.

[Objective]To investigate the clinical effect of minimally invasive technique for patellar fracture with kirschner's wire tensile band through subcutaneously tunnel.[Method]Forty-three cases of closed patella fracture were reduced with minimally invasive, a subcutaneously tunnel was established on the patella surface, blood clot and debris were cleaned through the tunnel. After anatomic reduction, fixed the fracture with Kirschner wire tension band. Function exercise was started early. [Result]All the fractures were approached anatomic reduction and skeletal union. Superficial layer on the patella had no conglutination. The scar and pain in the patella prezone were less than before. The score of Lysholm II was 86.8. Forty-three cases were followed up for an average of 16.3 months. All knee joint could move from 0? to 105?.[Conclusion]Minimally invasive technique for patella fracture with kirschner's tensile band wire could treat patellar fracture reliably and clinical curative effect is excellent.

Objective To better understand the relationship between doctors service quality and benefit in township public health centers so as to grasp the priorities of management and reform and promote the healthy development of the health cause. Methods The method of single factor analysis was combined with the method of stepwise logistic regression analysis. Results The study indicates that doctors delivering high quality service on average see more patients per day and contribute more to the business income and that service expenses are lower for patients seeking service from doctors who on average see more patients per day. Conclusion There is a positive correlation between doctors service quality and benefit in township public health centers.

Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2017;25(2):67-71
Objective To investigate the relationship between nutritional risk and cognitive score in pa-tients with acute stroke .Methods From January 2015 to December 2015, 160 inpatients with acute stroke were observed and divided into two groups according to Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) scores.All the patients were on natural diets and did not receive enteral or parenteral nutrition support .Cognitive functions were evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination ( MMSE) within 24 hours and 6 months after the acute cere-bral artery diseases .Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the effects of nutritional risks on the cognition.Results Totally 145 patients entered the final analysis , among whom 72 had nutritional risks and 73 had no nutritional risks .The average ages of patients with nutritional risks were significantly older than those without nutritional risks [ (67.04 ±8.95) years vs.(63.10 ±9.12) years, P=0.027], along with significantly higher incidence of diabetes (75.0%vs.49.3%, P=0.001).The lesion locations showed no statistically signif-icant difference between two groups ( frontal lobe 24.5%vs.17.5%, P=0.670;parietal lobe and occipital lobe 40.8%vs.26.3%, P=0.398;basal ganglia region 51.0%vs.49.1%, P=0.490;brain stem and cerebellum 53.0%vs.42.1%, P=0.777).Compared to the patients without nutritional risks , the MMSE scores of the pa-tients with nutritional risks were lower within 24 hours, but without statistical significance (27.45 ±2.21 vs. 28.09 ±1.27, P=0.209);however, six-month follow-up showed that the MMSE scores were significantly differ-ent between two groups (24.70 ±2.16 vs.27.43 ±2.32, P=0.036).Univariate Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate factors associated with cognitive impairment (MMSE<27).NRS 2002, ages, diabetes mellitus history, and body mass index entered in the Logistic regression analysis .In all patients, ages and NRS 2002 had a positive correlation with cognitive impairment (P=0.000, OR=1.156;P=0.004, OR=2.341).Conclusion The cognitive function in stroke patients with nutritional risks is worse than in patients without nutritional risks .

[Summary] Osteoporosis in elderly women are commonly accompanied by elevated levels of ferritin. Abnormal iron metabolism plays a key role in the progress of osteoporosis. Research on bone metabolic disorders caused by iron accumulation remains at the exploratory stage, including NF-κB pathway in differentiation of osteoclasts. A review on the relationship between NF-κB pathway and osteoporosis induced by iron accumulation is herewith presented, with a view to provide further ideas for transforming the clinical outcomes.
