Abstract: Objective To understand the current situation of lung function and nasal inflammation of students from different places of origin, and to explore the possible relationship between air pollutants and lung function and inflammatory factors of healthy college students. Methods A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate 253 healthy college students, including their basic personal information, the origin of students, and their living environment, then their lung functions were tested, including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and peak expiratory flow (PEF). Furthermore, according to the air quality of the region of origin, 60 students from areas with good air quality and 30 students from areas with poor air quality were selected. Nasal inflammatory factors (IL-6 and TNF-α levels) were detected before (July 12, 2019) and after summer vacation (August 27, 2019) to analyze the impact factors on lung function in healthy college students and the level of nasal inflammatory markers after short-term differential exposure to air pollutants. Results The univariate analysis of the questionnaire survey showed that the lung function of healthy college students was influenced by urban-rural distribution, air quality of students' origin, and height. Multivariate analysis found that compared with urban healthy college students, the FVC and FEV1 of rural students increased by 0.346 L and 0.322 L respectively (P<0.05). In addition, for each decrease in the grade of air quality of students' origin, FEV1 and PEF decreased by 0.193 L and 0.687 L/s respectively (P<0.05). After differential exposure to air pollutants during the holiday, healthy college students from areas with poor air quality had higher levels of the nasal mucous membrane inflammatory marker TNF-α than those from areas with good air quality (P<0.05). Conclusions The lung function of healthy college students is affected by urban-rural distribution and the air quality of their region of origin, and the short-term differential exposure to air pollutants leads to changes of nasal inflammatory factors in young healthy individuals.

Objective HupA is one of the potential drugs which can be used to treat Alzheimer's disease(AD).The aim of this study was to explore the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of HupA in vivo by using 11C-HupA.Methods A total of 25 SD rats were studied.They were divided into 5 groups (5 rats in each group).All had intravenous injection of 22 MBq(in0.2 ml)11C-HupA through tail vein.Dynamic im-aging Was acquired from 5 to 90 minutes after injection.Venous blood and organ activities were collected at 5,15,30,60.and 90 minutes after injection.Percentage activity of injected dose per gram of tissue(%ID/g)was calculated to characterize the biodistribution of tracer in different brain regions: frontal,apical, temporal,occipital,cerebellum,hippocampus,striatum,thalamencephalon, and brain stem, Variance analysis using SPSS 11.5 software was performed and compared among the study groups.Results 11C-HupA was character-istic for its quick clearance from blood,with half time T1/2 of (14.61±1.77) min,and clearance rate (CL)macokinetics of 11C-HupA in rats corresponded to a one-compartment model.with an activity curve(area 11C-HupA distribution in different brain regions,being greater in cerebral cortex,hippocampus,hypothala-mus and brain stem. Conclusions Pharmacokinetic study of 11C-HupA in brain was fast.convenient and showed high specificity and sensitivity.Its ability to quantitatively evaluate brain function and its character-istic distribution in mice provided some evidence for monitoring therapy in AD patients.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristic and prognosis of Serratia infections in newborn infants and increase awareness of Serratia infections.Methods The clinical manifestations,diagnosis,complications,treatment and prognosis of Serratia infections were analyzed in 4 hospitalized newborn infants in neonatology center from Jul.2008 to Feb.2009.Results Among the 4 cases,blood culture revealed Serratia marcescens in 3 cases(1 case was preterm infant),cerebral spinal fluid culture revealed Serratia liquefacien in the fourth case.The main clinical manifestations were fever,convulsion and poor response,WBC and CRP were much higher,while obvious thrombocytopenia was only found in the preterm infant.Two cases of septicemia infection alone recovered after the treatment of the third-generation cephalosporin for at least 2 weeks,while the other 2 cases of septicemia infection combined with purulent meningitis,included 1 case of preterm infant and 1 case of Serratia liquefacien infection,developed meningoencephalitis and brain abscess confirmed by serial imaging,both of which had poor neurological sequelaes.Conclusions As a opportunistic pathogen,Serratia can cause severe infection in newborns.The patients complicated with meningitis should be followed up and pay more attention to the high incidence of neurological sequelaes.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of Qiling Decoction (QD) combined highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) on expression levels of peripheral blood Th17 and Treg cells in HIV/AIDS patients.
METHODSTotally 55 HIV/AIDS patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group (28 cases) and the combination group (27 cases). Besides, 21 HIV negative patients were recruited as the healthy control group. Those in the treatment group received HARRT alone, while those in the combination group received HAART combined QD. The observation lasted for 24 weeks. Meanwhile, according to peripheral blood CD4+ T cell counts before treatment, HIV/AIDS patients were assigned to three subgroups. For patients in subgroup 1, 1 cells/microL < CD4+ T cell counts < or = 100 cells/microL; For patients in subgroup 2, 101 cells/microL < CD4+ T cell counts < or = 200 cells/lL; For patients in subgroup 3, 201 cells/microL < CD4+ T cell counts < or = 350 cells/microL. Expression of peripheral blood Th17 and Treg cells, and number of CD4+ T cell counts were detected using flow cytometry (FCM)in HIV/AIDS patients at the pre-treatment baseline, week 4, 12, and 24, as well as those in the healthy control group.
RESULTSCompared with the healthy control group, CD4+ T cell counts and the baseline expression level of Th17 cells in the peripheral blood of HIV/AIDS patients significantly decreased, the expression level of Treg cells significantly increased P < 0.01). Compared with before treatment in the same group, CD4+ T cell counts all increased at week 4, 12, and 24 in the two treatment groups, showing statistical difference (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). There was no statistical difference in the effective rate at various CD4+ T cell levels between the two groups (P > 0.05). There was no statistical difference in expression levels of Th17 and Treg cells between the combination group and the treatment group at any time point (all P >0.05). The Th17/Treg ration significantly increased in the combination group after 24 weeks of treatment, showing statistical difference when compared with the treatment group (U = 2.135, P = 0.038).
CONCLUSIONQD could improve the immune balance of Th17/Treg cells, which might be one of its mechanisms for improving HIV/AIDS patients' immunity.

OBJECTIVE:
To establish 2-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) maps of Helicobac-ter pylori in human gastritis, and gastric cancer, to identify the differentially expressed proteins,and to discuss the role of bacterial factor in pathogenesis.
METHODS:
The total proteins of Helicobacter pylori in human gastritis and gastric cancer were separated by immobilized pH gradient-based 2-DE. The differentially expressed proteins were screened by PDQuest analysis software and identified by peptide mass fingerprint based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry, and searched on database.
RESULTS:
A well-resolved and reproducible 2-DE pattern of Helicobacter pylori was obtained from patients with human gastritis and gastric cancer. Fourteen differentially expressed proteins were identified, including proteins related to anti-oxidation,molecular chape-rones and detoxification, enzymes related to metabolism,proteins related to cytoarchitecture,and proteins related to signal conduction.
CONCLUSION
A well-resolved and reproducible 2-DE pattern of Helicobacter pylori in human gastritis and gastric cancer is established and differentially expressed proteins from these 2 diseases are identified. The differentiation of protein expression may play an important role in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer.
