Recent studies have found that peptide therapies tar-geting specific epitopes can avoid nonspecific immune suppres-sion induced by traditional medicines for the treatment of autoim-mune diseases, and have shown great therapeutic effect in ani-mal models of autoimmune diseases and clinical trials. The pa-per summaries the research progress and trends of peptide drugs for the treatment of autoimmune diseases from candidate peptide sources and their suppression mechanisms, which can provide a theoretical basis for the in-depth understanding of immune toler-ance and allow for discovery of new treatment for autoimmune diseases.

With the emerging of aging society and advances of information sciences, telemedicine has gradually become a new medical model.Telemedicine can be used in health monitoring, disease diagnosis, counseling, education, chronic disease management and long-term care in elderly population;particularly in management of chronic heart failure, diabetes and other chronic diseases, as well as in referral and continuous medical care.To promote telemedicine in the elderly population can break the physical limitations of different health care settings, so that geriatrician and the allied team members are enable to maximize their values in providing corresponding health services.This article reviews the progress of telemedicine in foreign countries, which would be of reference value for development of telemedicine for elderly people in China.

Objective:To prepare the immunoglobulin Y(IgY) against Avain Influenza Virus (H5N1) and to investgate its inhibitory activity to Influenza virus A (FM1).Methods:Iimmunized by Avain Influenza vaccine,IgY against Avain Influenza Virus was purified from the yolk and then the antibody was enriched by the means:caprylate acid-two-step salt precipitation-gel chromatograph.TD0 of IgY and the inhibory effectiveness were showed by nhibiting cytopathic effect (CPE) thst in MDCK infected with Influenza virus A(FM1).Results:IgY against Avain Influenza Virus was obtained.The TD0 value of IgY against Avain Influenza to MDCK cell line was 1.764 mg/ml,while at the dosage as low as 0.082 8 mg/ml the lnfluenza virus A(FM1) was still inhibited in vitro.Connchusion:Caprylate acid-two-step salt precipitation-gel chromatograph can prepare IgY successfully and the inhibitory effectiveness of IgY is good for inhibition of Influenza virus A(FM1).

The effects of hypoxia on the expression of Fos was studied in the distal cerebrospinal fluid contacting neurons (CSF-CNs) in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) of the rat. The hypoxic models mimic 8000 m high level were established in a high-altitude decompression chamber. Injecting the tracer of CB ( chorela toxin B subunit) into the rat's lateral ventricles, we investigated the distribution of the distal CSF-CNs in the DR. The single and double immunohistochemistry staining with antibodies to Fos and CB were used to observe the expression of Fos in the distal CSF-CNs in the DR. The results showed that a large number of CB-like immunoreactive (-LI) neurons (31.16 ±3.36/per section) were located in the DR. In hypoxic experimental rats, the number of Fos-LI neurons was increased sharply (40.28 ±2.17/per section, P ＜0.05 compared to control rats), and a few CB/Fos-LI neurons (2.00 ±0.39/per section) could be observed in the DR. In control rats, several Fos-LI neurons (5.55 ±0.81/per section) and no CB/Fos-LI neuron could be observed in the DR. These results suggest that some of the distal CSF-CNs in the DR may play roles in transmitting information between brain and cerebrospinal fluid and modulating the function of brain following hypoxic stimulation.

Objective To evaluate the value of MR in the diagnosis of primary splenic lymphoma (PSL).Methods The MR imaging features of 3 PSL cases proved by pathology were retrospectively reviewed. Results Three cases were all pathologically diagnosed as B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL). Two cases were multiple node shape and one was massive shape. Unenhanced MR imaging revealed heterogeneous splenic enlargement, with large nodules showing iso-hyperinternse on T1WI and hypointense on T2WI. Linear hyperintense on T1WI and T2WI was seen on the spleen peripherous. The spleen vascular was infiltrated. CE-MRI showed heterogeneous enhancement of spleen with iso-hypointense. The focus of postperitoneal showed medial enhancement. Immunohistochemistry-showed 2 cases of diffuse B cell. The CD20 and CD19 α of tumor cell showed diffuse( + ) ,CD3 ,CD5 individual( + ) ,CD43 ( + ) ,CD45RO( + ), CD10 ( +/- ), Mum ( + ), MAC387 individual ( + ), 1 case of B lymphocell type, CD79α ( + ) ,CD23( + ) ,CD38( + ) ,λ( + ). Conclusion The MR imaging features of PSL were characteristic and helpful in the diagnosis of PSL, but the correct diagnosis was still dependent on the pathology and immunohistochemical staining.

BACKGROUND:In clinic, monosegmental pedicle screw fixation via the fractured vertebrae is commonly used for the treatment of thoracolumbar fracture. Studies have confirmed that the spinal stability is strengthened through bilateral pedicle screw fixation via fractured vertebrae, but some studies suggest that monosegmental pedicle screw fixation via fractured vertebrae can increase the spinal stability, and the conclusion lacks of the supports of biomechanics.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the biomechanical properties of monosegmental pedicle screws fixation via fractured vertebrae for thoracolumbar fracture.
METHODS:Eight cadavers’ thoracolumbar specimens (T11-L3) were provided by the Department of Anatomy, Yangzhou University School of Medicine. Saw was used to transect 2/3 of the vertebrae in order to make complete experimental thoracolumbar specimens. Eight specimens were divided into two group;beyond-fractured vertebrae fixation group and monosegmental fixation via fracture vertebrae group. The specimens in the two groups were treated with adjacent vertebral four screw fixation beyond fractured vertebrae and adjacent vertebral four screw fixation+monosegmental pedicle screw fixation via fractured vertebrae respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After thoracolumbar fracture, the differences between beyond fractured vertebrae fixation and monosegmental pedicle screw fixation via fractured vertebrae were as fol ows:load-strain relationship 12%, load-displacement relationship 11%, strength 18%, axial rigidity 11%, torsional mechanical properties 11%and pul out test 1.8%, and there were no significant differences between two groups (P<0.05). The biomechanics performance of monosegmental pedicle screw fixation via fractured vertebrae was more superior to that of pedicle screw fixation beyond the fracture vertebra for thoracolumbar fracture.

Objective To study the ralationship of arrhythmias and heart electrical parameters changes after transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD) .Method 50 patients had been successfully finnished the transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect,and then we observed ralationship of arrhythmias and heart electrical parameters changes. Results (1) Compared with the situation of VSD occluder preoperative and postoperative, during follow-up there were 20 arrhythmia cases, including bundle branch block 16 cases, including the complete left bundle branch block 2 cases,complete right bundle branch block 4 cases,a transient third-degree trioventricular conduction block 1 case, most return to normal in the follow-up. 2 Intracavitary electrogram showed before and after transcatheter closure:A-V conduction parameters A-H,H-V value of (75.10 ± 14.34) ms vs (80.67±23.03) ms and (47.9±12.61) ms vs (50.07±15.23) ms,the difference was not statistically significant ( >0.05) . Conclusions (1) Some patients with new ECG changes after transcatheter closure of VSD, manifested as an increase in bundle branch block in a week, but most return to normal,the prognosis is good. (2) Intraoperative A-H,H-V extension is not related with with postoperative slow arrhythmia;(3) Arrhythmia is a common complication after VSD transcatheler closure, to strictly selecte indications,and to avoid too large diameter are the effective measures to reduce the arrhythmias after transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD) .

Objective To investigate the histological features,biological features,clinical treatment and prognosis of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma.Methods A retrospective review of 10 patients with pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma treated in our hospital from 1999 to 2008 was conducted and the clinical features,imaging changes,pathologic feature,treatment course and follow-up data were collected.Results There were 9 men and 1 woman with a mean age of (62±8) years old.Tumors were located in the uncinate process in 1 patient,head of pancreas in 7,body and tail in 2.The median size of these tumors was 4.5 cm×4.7 cm;common bile duct and intrahepatic bile duct,pancreatic duct dilation was detected in 7 cases,and superior mesenteric vein was invaded in 2 cases.Of the 10 patients,8 received pancreaticoduodenectomy,among these 8 patients,3 had extended lymph node dissection,2 had portal vein resection and replacement;2received resection of pancreatic body and tail as well as splenectomy.Histologically,the size of these tumors were 4.0 cm×3.3 cm×3.4 cm.Macrescopically,duodenum was invaded in 5 patients,superior mesenteric vein was invaded in 2 patients and neural invasion was present in 7 cases.Lymph node metastasis was noted in 6 cases.Follow-up data was available in 9 patients and 1 patient was lost in follow-up.The survival ranged from 3 to 51 months with a median survival 18 months,and 9 patients died of tumor recurrence and metastasis after operation.Conclusions Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma should be recognized as a distinct tumor entity and it may not be sensitive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy.The biological features of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma should be investigated further.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,diagnosis and prognosis of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas(SPTP). Method The clinical data of SPTP cases that underwent surgical resection with a definitive histological diagnosis in Zhong Shan Hospital from 1999 to 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.Result There were 42 SPTP cases undergoing surgery in this period,including 37 females and 5 males:mean age was 37.6 years.Tumors located in the pancreatic head in 18 cases and in the body or tail in 24 cases.The most common symptom was abdominal discomfort(n=20),palpable mass (n=8).Preoperative diagnostic accuracy of MRI and CT were 93%and 31.8%,respectively.Ten cases underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy,20 cases received distal pancreatectomy,3 cases did spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy.Tumors were simply enucleated in 8 cases.Average diameter of the tumors was 6.1 cm,34 lesions were solid,6 were solid-cystic,2 were cystic.The overall perioperative morbidity was 38.1%,10 cases developed postoperative pancreatic fistula.The mean follow-up time was 38.6 months.Except three cases that were lost to follow-up,all the other cases were alive.Four cases(2 cases had had tumor enucleation,2 had had distal pancreatectomy)developed hepatic metastases on 70、110、41、3 months after first surgery,respectively.A transarterial chemoembolization was employed in three cases,while right hemihepatectomy was performed in one case. Conclusion SPTP is an indolent tumor with low-grade biological aggressiveness.Patients had a favorable outcome after surgical treatment,but enucleation should be avoided.Patients with liver metastasis may benefit from chemoembolization and liver resection.
