Objective To compare efficacy of indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) and real‐time fluorescent polymerase chain re‐action(PCR) in detection of mycoplasma pneumonia in children .Methods A total of 137 children clinically diagnosed as Mycoplas‐ma pneumoniae(MP) infection were selected and divided into groups by age ,including <1 years old group(35 cases) ,1- <5 years old group(69 cases) and 5-15 years old group(33 cases) .Blood specimen and throat swabs were collected and detected by using IFA and real‐time fluorescent PCR .At the same time ,all of the selected children were treated with conventional therapy ,according to total effective rate ,positive coincidence rates of the two methods were statistically analysed by age .Results The positive coinci‐dence rates in children with MP infection <1 years old and 1- <5 years old detected by using real‐time fluorescent PCR were high‐er than that detected by using IFA ,while among children 5-15 years old ,the positive coincidence rate was higher detected by using IFA compared with that detected by using real‐time fluorescent PCR ,all had statistically significant differences (P<0 .05) .The o‐verall positive coincidence rates of the two methods were not significantly different(P>0 .05) .Conclusion IFA and real‐time fluo‐rescent PCR both could be used as effective methods for detecting MP ,but there are some differences of detective efficacy between the two methods in each age group .Therefore ,it is suggested that for children under 5 years old real‐time fluorescent PCR might be selected ,for children aged 5 years old and over IFA might be selected ,in order to improve the detection accuracy and provide better guidance to clinical medication .

There are 13 members of the Let -7 miRNAs family which is regarded as tumor suppressor gene, locating in nine different chromosome loci. Lin28 acts as negative regulatory factor of miRNA biological recurrence. By selectively blocking the processing synthesis of the Let-7 miRNAs family, Lin28 block the inhibition effect of miRNA of proto-oncogenes and interact with RNA helicase to enhance gene translation at the same time. By not quite clear mechanism, an up-regulation of Let-7 inhibits the expression and function of Lin28. In more and more studies of human tumor, Lin28/Let-7 axsis was proved to be important significance of the tumor's occurrence and development. In this paper, we research briefly the recent progress of the molecular mechanism and related influence factors of ILin28/Let-7 axsis.

Objective:To observe the effect of Livostin spray on children's allergic rhinitis and to search the mechanism of treating allergic rhinitis. Method: 113 patients were treated with Livostin spray (Livostin group) or normal saline spray (control group). Result:The total efficiency of Livostin group in treating allergic rhinitis is above 95.1% and that of the control group is 25.0%. Initial time of starting effect of Livostin (72.1%) is in 1 minute, and that of the control group (mostly 23.1%) is in 3 minutes. The keeping curativeeffect time of Livostin spray is mostly (72.1%) above 5 hours and that of the control group is mostly (30.8%) in 3 hours. After 2 weeks,the eosinophilic granulocyte number in nose's secretion of Livostin group is obviously reduced (P<0.05). Conclusion: Livostin is better than control group in relieving symptoms, keeping curative effect and safety,so Livostin is one kind of effective drug in treating children's allergic rhinitis.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens B10-127 was used to produce 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) from residual glycerol obtained from biodiesel synthesis. Important variables for 2,3-BD fermentation, pH and dissolved oxygen, were studied. When pH was maintained constant, the yield of 2,3-BD was inhibited. The highest 2,3-BD yields were achieved by fermentation without any pH control with an optimized initial pH 6.5. Batch fermentative production of 2,3-BD by B. amyloliquefaciens was investigated using various oxygen supply methods by changing agitation speed. Based on the analysis of three kinetic parameters including specific cell growth rate (micro), specific glucose consumption rate (q(s)) and specific 2,3-BD formation rate (q(p)), a three-stage agitation speed control strategy was proposed, aimed at achieving high concentration, high yield and high productivity of 2,3-BD. Maximum concentration of 2,3-BD reached 38.1 g/L, with the productivity of 1.06 g/(L x h), which were 14.8% and 63.1% over the best results from constant agitation speeds. In a pulse fed-batch fermentation, 2,3-BD concentration and productivity were significantly improved to 71.2 g/L and 0.99 g/(L x h), respectively. To our knowledge, these results were the highest for 2,3-BD production from biodiesel-derived glycerol.

Objective To analyze the incidence and related risk factors of hyperuricemia after liver transplantation.Methods A total of 286 cases undergoing liver transplantation from 2009 to 2012 in the Armed Police General Hospital , who had normal uric acid before transplantation and had been followed up for more than 1 year, were enrolled in this study.The clinical data, including liver and kidney function , blood glucose, and lipids were collected .The potential risk factors of hyperuricemia were analyzed .Results 53.5% cases ( 153/286)had hyperuricemia after transplantation.Hyperuricemic patients were predominately older (P =0.038). They also had a higher prevalence of increasing creatinine (P=0.000),and hyperlipidemia(P=0.000).Among female cases, hyperuricemic patients had a higher average BMI (P=0.027).Hyperuricemia group had an elevat-ed ratio of blood lipids 60.1%(92/153), higher than normal uric acid group (39.1%,52/133) ( P<0.05). Conclusions Liver transplantation recipients have a higher incidence of hyperuricemia , particularly in elderly and overweight female patients .Our findings suggest that postoperative hyperuricemia may be associated with high serum creatinine, elevated blood lipids.We should strengthen follow-up, take early detection and early treat-ment.

Objective To examine the expression of angiopoietin-like protein(ANGPTL)3 in kidneys from children with primary nephrotic syndrome. Methods Immunohistochemistry for ANGPTL3 was performed in kidney biopsies from patients with nephrotic syndrome or hematuria, including MCD (n=31), MN(n=6), FSGS (n=6), TBMN (n=10), IgA nephropathy (IgAN) with mesangial proliferation (n=16). Normal renal tissue of 2 cases with nephrectomy for tumor were used as control. According to the episode, four groups were divided ("12 months"). The expression was quantitatively examined with IMS color image analysis system, using positive index (PI) as sediment degree of ANGPTL3 in glomeruli or tubules. Immunofluorescence for ANGPTL3 co-labeling with WT1 and perlecan was applied to show the distribution of ANGPTL3. Results (1) The PI levels of ANGPTL3 in glomeruli of MCD(7.49?1.96) and MN (6.27?0.98) were significantly higher than those of TBMN (0.02?0.001), FSGS (3.14?0.49) or normal control(0.02?0.001) respectively (all P
