Objective To explore the reference value of interleukin(IL)-33 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF)-α in early diagnosis,illness evaluation and prognosis of acute pancreatitis(AP) by dynamically monitoring the serum levels of IL-33 and TNF-α.Methods A total of 86 patients with AP were selected as objectives which were divided into two groups according the severity of illness which include 59 cases of mild AP group(MAP) and 27 cases of severe AP group(SAP),52 cases of systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS) group and 34 cases of non SIRS group distinguished by SIRS,75 cases of survival group and 11 cases of death group identified by prognosis of AP.All of patients were assessed by Bedside Index of Severity in Acute Pancreatitis(BISAP) score within 48 h after admission and detected the serum levels of IL-33 and TNF-α at the first day,third day,seventh day and fourteenth day during hospital.A total of 63 healthy persons were recruited into control group.Results The serum levels of IL-33,TNF-α and BISAP score of SAP group and MAP group were higher than those of the control group in different monitoring time,but the SAP group increased more obviously than MAP group.The serum levels of IL-33 and TNF-α of SAP group were higher than those of MAP group at the first day,third day,seventh day and fourteenth day during hospital,and the differences between them had statistical significance(P<0.05).The serum levels of IL-33 and TNF-α of SAP group increased to peak at the third day and reduced gradually after conventional treatment(the seventh day in the hospital).The serum levels of IL-33 and TNF-α of SIRS group were significant higher than those of non SIRS group(P<0.05).The serum levels of IL-33,TNF-α and BISAP score of death group were significant higher than those of survival group(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis suggested that there were positive correlations between BISAP and the serum levels of IL-33 and TNF-α of AP patients.Conclusion There is an important clinical value to the early diagnosis,severity classification,guiding clinical treatment and the assessment of prognosis of AP by dynamically monitoring the serum levels of IL-33 and TNF-αof AP patients.

Objective:To analyze the metastasis rule of abdominal lymph node from thoracic esophagus carcinoma. Methods:The abdominal lymph node data on 164 patients who had undergone resection of thoracic esophageal carcinoma were analyzed retro-spectively. Grouping was based on the upper, middle, and lower thoracic esophagus. Differences in tumor infiltration depth, differentiat-ed degree, pathological type, pathological stage, and metastasis rate of the abdominal lymph node among the three groups were com-pared. The metastasis rates of the abdominal lymph nodes among the different tumor infiltration depths, differentiated degrees, and path-ological types were also compared. Results:The base condition of tumor infiltration depth, differentiated degree, pathological type, and pathological stage has no statistical significance among the upper, middle, and lower thoracic esophagus. The metastasis rate of the ab-dominal lymph node also has no statistical significance among the three groups (upper, 6.9%;middle, 27.4%;and lower, 39.6%). More-over, the metastasis rate of the abdominal lymph node has no statistical significance among the different tumor infiltration depths, differ-entiated degrees, and pathological types. Conclusion:A special bound lymph node metastasis was present in the esophageal carcinoma. If the tumor in the upper thoracic esophagus infiltrated the submucosa, then it could bound metastasize down to the abdominal lymph node by the lymphatic capillary net. The majority of the esophageal carcinoma was more than T1b period when diagnosed. The tumor has infiltrated the submucosa. Thus, early stage, well-differentiated, and upper thoracic esophageal carcinoma does not indicate mini-mal metastasis of the abdominal lymph node. Routine abdominal lymph node dissection through radical surgery for esophageal carcino-ma was necessary.

Bilingual teaching is one of education reform in China.The essay analyzed the necessity of bilingual teaching and clarified the reason why it can procced in microbiology.Search after the way in microbiology course according to the character of college in western China.The practice accumulated experience for bilingual teaching.

Objective To report the functional reconstruction and rehabilitation for a patient who under- went allograft for both of his forearms and hands.Methods One male patient underwent allograft for both of his forearms and hands in October 2002 in our department to reconstruct his hand functions.The allografted hands were intervened with an integrated rehabilitation program,which involved administration of immunosuppressants,post- operative monitoring,postoperative functional training,massage,physiotherapy,orthosis,performance training, sensation training,secondary operation and mental rehabilitation.The patient was followed up for 4 years.Results The forearms and hands of the patient were in good shape and regained nearly normal sensation.The distance of two-point-discrimination was 2.5 cm to 4.0cm.The TAM (total active motion) of fingers was fine.The patient could look after himself well and were healthy in psychology.Conclusion An integrated rehabilitation program can yield satisfactory results in the management of allografted forearms and hands.

Strong inhibition of Bacillus subtilis strain NJ-18 on mycelia growth of Alternaria solani was observed in the antagonistic tests by cylinder plate methods, and the inhibition width was 21.5 mm. Observation under microscope found that the supernatant of fermentation from NJ-18 could make the pathogen hyphae cells malformed and swelled, and consequently the growth of the pathogen was inhibited. Determining of the colonization in potato plants by the signed rifampicin-resistance in NJ-18 showed that it could colonize well in the plants, the colonization quantity of NJ-18 in the root and stem of the potato detected 30 days after fermentation irrigation was 103 CFU/g plant’s fresh weight. In pot experiment, we inoculated the tomato plants with the spore suspensions of Alternaria solani after spraying the fermentation of NJ-18, the results were investigated in 14 days and the efficacy in controlling the disease was 72.9%, which was significantly higher than 45.7%, the efficacy resulted from spray treatment of 2000 fold dilution of 50% iprodione wetable powder.
