OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between ulcerative colitis (UC) and lung injuries by assessing their clinical manifestations and characteristics.

METHODSFrom July 2009 to April 2012, 91 UC patients presenting to Longhua Hospital who met the established inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in this retrospective study. According to the scores of disease activity index, the patients were divided into the mild, moderate, and severe groups. Meanwhile, the records of pulmonary symptoms, chest X-ray image, and pulmonary function were reviewed.

RESULTSSixty-eight (74.7%) patients had at least 1 pulmonary symptom, such as cough (38.5%), shortness of breath (27.5%), and expectoration (17.6%). And 77 (84.6%) had at least 1 ventilation abnormality. Vital capacity value was significantly lower in the severe group than that in the mild group (91.82%±10.38% vs. 98.92%±12.12%, P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSLung injury is a common extraintestinal complication of UC. According to the theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine that the lung and large intestine are related, both the lungs and large intestine should be treated simultaneously.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of a new polyclonal antibody specific to fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and its application in enrichment of circulating fetal nucleated red blood cell(NRBC) for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis. Methods A polyclonal antibody against a synthetic peptide comprising residues 69-78 of the γ-chain of HbF was prepared and conjugated to carrier protein KLH as the immunogen according to the specific antigenic determinant. The peptide-KLH solution was mixed with freund's complete or incomplete adjuvant and immunized goat to prepare specific polyclonal antibody against the γ-chain of fetal hemoglobin. After purification with protein G, maternal blood was obtained from 32 pregnant women at 22 to 39 weeks of gestation. NRBCs were separated and then stained with antibody against the γ chain of HbF. All the positive cells were collected by micromanipulator under microscopic observation, and whole genome was amplified by improved primer extension preamplification (PEP). Multiplex polymerase chain reaction amplification at nine different polymorphic short tandem repeat (STR) loci was also used to determine origin of the positive cells isolated from maternal blood. Results NRBCs stained with antibody against the γ chain of HbF were found in all of the blood from the 32 cases. Attached positive cells with anti-HbF staining have unique morphological characteristics, low nucleus-to-cytoplasm ratio, brown cytoplasm and blue dense nucleus after hematoxylin counterstain under microscopic observation, which can distinguished NRBCs with other cells. A total of 183 NRBCs were found in all of 32 pregnant women at a range of 0.6～1.8 cell/ml venous blood. The accurate rate was 90.6% by the STR genotype identification. Conclusion The antibodies specific to fetal γ-chain of fetal hemoglobin with synthetic peptide technology may have wide clinical utility in identification of fetal NRBCs from maternal circulation for non-invasive prenatal genetic diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the clinicalmanifestation,monitoring and therapeutic measure of severe enterovirus 71 ( EV71 ) infection in children.MethodsForty-five cases of severe EV71 infectionwere admitted in our PICU from May 2010 to Sep 2011.The vital sign and arterial blood pressure,central venous pressure,mixed venous oxygen saturation,dynamic non-invasive heart function and urine volume were monitored.Forty-five cases were divided into 3 stages according to clinical manifestation:( 1 ) nervous system involvement stage; (2) respiratory system involvement stage; ( 3 ) circulatory system involvement stage ( compensation and decompensation).We adopted individualized remedy measure according to different stages.ResultsIn 45 cases,38 cases discharged from hospital,the cure rate was 84.4％.Among all the 38 cases,nervous system involvement was found in 19 cases,respiratory system involvement was found in 12 cases,circulatory system involvement was found in 7 cases.Seven cases died,who had circulation failure.ConclusionWe should identify severe EV71 infection early.Positive control of high fever,appropriate liquid treatment,control of high blood pressure,early respiratory support,preventment of circulation failure are the key measures for treatment.Individualized monitoring and treatment are effective in children with severe EV71 infection.

Objective To evaluate application of recombinant human luteinizing hormone (r-hLH)used in ovarian stimulation of assisted reproductive technique and impact on outcome of pregnancy. Methods From Apr. To Jul. 2009, 123 patients with low LH level ( < 1 U/L) at day 3 of menstruation and downregulation of pituitary function undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in Reproductive Medical Center, Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University were enrolled in this study, whom were classified into 66 cases treated by r-hLH in r-hLH group and 57 cases without r-hLH treatment in non-r-hLH group. In the mean time, 145 patients with normal level of serum LH ( 1-2 U/L) not given by r-hLH treatment and undergoing IVF-ET were matched as control group. Total amount of gonadotropin, estradiol levels and LH levels on the administration of human chorionic gonadotropin ( hCG), number of oocytes retrieved, number of 2PN zygotes, rate of high quality embryos, the rates of implantation and clinical pregnancy were compared among these three groups. Results The level of serum LH on the day of hCG administration were ( 1.59 ± 0.77 ) U/L in r-hLH group, (0.54 ± 0.25 ) U/L in non-r-hLH group and (2.39 ± 1.01 ) U/L in control group, which reached tatistical difference between every two groups (P < 0.05). The rates of high quality embryo were 59.36％ in r-hLH group, 57.79％ in non-r-hLH group,which were significantly lower than 65.94％ in control group, respectively (P < 0. 05 ). The rates of 2PN were 67.62％ in r-hLH group and 68. 32％ in control group, which were significantly higher than 62. 84％ in non-r-hLH group, respectively ( P < 0.05 ). The rates of implantation of 29.77％ in r-hLH group were significantly higher than 18.26％ in non-r-hLH group ( P < 0.05 ). The total amount of gonadotropin,estradiol level on the day of hCG administration, the number of oocytes retrieved, and clinical pregnancy rate were not significantly different among those three groups ( P > 0.05 ). Conclusion The administration of recombinant human uteinizing hormone in patients who are profoundly suppressed after down-regulation with long protocol can get more quality embryos, the higher rates of 2PN and implantation.
