Objective To study the dynamic changes and clinical significance of pulmonary function (PF) in segmental mycoplasma pneumonia (SMPP) children and make the dynamic analysis of X-ray features.Methods Eighty-three SMPP children treated from June 2013 to December 2014 in Jinshan Institute of the Sixth People's Hospital of Shanghai were selected and the PF changes at acute phase, recovery phase and rehabilitative period was monitored and all the patients received the imageological diagnosis.The Pulmonary function includes forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced expiratory volume ratio(FEV1/FVC), peak expiratory flow(PEF), and maximum expiratory flow (FEF25-75).Pulmonary function and imageological diagnosis of two groups was compared.Results Compare the acute phase and recovery phase and rehabilitative period of 83 SMPP Children, at acute phase, FVC ((1.58±0.49), (1.76 ±0.62),(2.08±0.84) L),FEV1((1.27±0.46),(1.58±0.53),(1.83±0.66) L),FEV1/FVC((79.64±6.61)％,(85.25±7.38)％,(87.24±8.61)％),PEF((2.61±0.84),(3.15±0.92),(3.52±1.06) L/s), FEF25 ((2.29±0.83), (2.86± 0.95), (3.26± 0.98) L/s), FEF50 ((1.51 ± 0.52), (2.12 ± 0.64), (2.26±0.63) L/s),FEF75((0.58±0.42),(0.76±0.46),(1.02±0.42) L/s) and FEF25-75 ((0.61±0.33),(0.87±0.36), (1.01 ±0.41) L/s) of two groups were reduced, especially FEF25, FEF50, FEF75 and FEF25-75.At recovery phase and rehabilitative period ,the indicators were significantly better than those of acute phase (P＜ 0.05);for SMPP children at acute phase, FVC ((1.51 ± 0.44), (1.31 ± 0.36) L) and FEV 1 ((1.46±0.56), (1.21±0.48) L) in the lesions of multiple parts was significantly lower than that of lesions of single part(P＜0.05).At acute phase, X-ray majorly showed the unilateral lesion with increased density and blurring edges in lung lobe or segment.After 14 d, the condition was obvious improved;a few cases still had the blurring textures and thickening conditions after 2 weeks.Conclusion For SMPP children at acute phase,the major and micro airway function is damaged in different extent.It is majorly expressed as restrictive ventilation dysfunction,especially micro airway function.At recovery phase, PF is obviously improved.The damage of major airway function in the multiple parts of lung lobe is more serious than that of lesions in the single part.

Aim To study the effects of Bauhinia championii flavones ( BCF ) on adjusting autophagy a-gainst myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury. Meth-ods 120 SD rats were randomly divided into control, model, 3-MA (15 mg·kg-1 ) and BCF (10, 20 mg ·kg-1) groups (n=8). 30min. ischemia, ischemia/reperfusion 1h. or 3h, while myocardial ischemia reperfusion model was established by ligating left ante-rior descending coronary artery. The contents of crea-tine kinase-MB ( CK-MB) , inducible nitric oxide syn-thase ( iNOS ) and total antioxidative capacity ( T-AOC ) in serum were determined according to the ultra-violet spectrophotometer colorimetric method. The pro-tein expression of LC3-Ⅱ, Beclin-1 and mTOR was observed by Western blot. Results Compared with model group, BCF dose-dependently improved T-AOC, decreased CK-MB and iNOS ( P < 0. 05 ) . Meanwhile, BCF down-regulated the protein expression of LC3-Ⅱand Beclin-1 , and up-regulated mTOR pro-tein expression ( P < 0. 05 ) . Compared with 3-MA group, BCF reduced the contents of CK-MB and iN-OS, increased the level of T-AOC. It raised LC3-Ⅱand Beclin-1 protein expression at 30min. of ischemia, and then declined the protein expression of LC3-Ⅱand Beclin-1 . BCF descended the protein expression of mTOR all over the time ( P <0. 05 ) . Conclusion Autophagy occurs in ischemia then improves in ische-mia/reperfusion period. BCF could promote the occur-ring of autophagy at 30min. of ischemia in the short term and inhibit the excessive expression of autophagy with the increase of time in reperfusion period. BCF pretreatment reduce myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury may by promoting the occurrence of autophagy during ischemia period and inhibit them in reperfusion.

Objective: To investigate the changing trends in injury mortality among permanent residents in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province from 2017 to 2022, so as to provide the basis for formulating injury intervention measures. Methods: Injury death data of permanent residents in Jingzhou City from 2017 to 2022 were collected through the Population Death Information Registration and Management System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The crude mortality of injury was analyzed and the standardized mortality was calculated using the data from the Sixth National Population Census in 2010. The changing trend in injury mortality was analyzed using the annual percent change (APC). Results: There were 29 220 injury deaths among permanent residents in Jingzhou City from 2017 to 2022, with a crude mortality rate of 88.61/105. The crude mortality rate of injury was higher in males than in females (101.04/105 vs. 75.97/105, P<0.05). The crude mortality rates of injury in males, females and the whole population all showed upward trends (APC=6.572%, 9.232% and 7.731%, all P<0.05). Males, females and the whole population at the ages of 65 years and above appeared upward trends in crude mortality rates of injury (APC=4.603%, 5.064% and 4.851%, all P<0.05). No significant trends were observed in the crude mortality rate in the residents aged <15 years and 15 to <65 years (both P>0.05). The top five causes of injury death were suicide (25.81/105), falls (24.38/105), motor vehicle traffic accident (17.23/105), drowning (8.61/105), and other unintentional accidents and harmful effects (5.63/105). From 2021 to 2022, falls rose to the first cause of injury mortality. Conclusions The crude mortality of injury among permanent residents in Jingzhou City from 2017 to 2022 showed an upward trend. Males and residents aged 65 years and above should be prioritized for intervention measures. Notably, falls have become the top cause of injury from 2021 to 2022.

Objective To observe the effect of different doses of butorphanol and sufentanil repeatedly epidural injected on the neurobehavior function in bone cancer model rats.Methods A PE-530 catheter was inserted into the epidural space of all male Sprague-Dawley rats(not mated,weighting 150-180 g) at L1-2 level.Three days after operation,64 rats without any motor dysfunction were randomly divided into eight groups (n=8):sham operated group (group C),normal saline with bone cancer pain group (group N),butorphanol groups(group B 1,B2,B3)and sufentanil groups (group S1,S2,S3).Bone cancer pain model was constructed in group N,B and S when rats in group C were sham operated.Rats in group C and N were epidurally injected NS 30μl each,and rats in group B1,B2 and B3 were respectively epidurally injected butorphanol 25,50,100 μg (all diluted to 30 μl with NS),when rats in group S1,S2 and S3 were respectively cpidurally injected sufentanil 1,2,4 μg (all diluted to 30 μl with NS) on time per day for 10-14 days after modeling.The neurobehavior paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) of the left hind claw was recorded to observe the changes in pain behavior.The neurobehavior function of rats were recorded by BBB (BASSO,BEATTIE and BRESNAHAN) score and the inclined plane test.Results Compared with group C((67.65±9.29) g),the MWT of the model groups obviously decreased before the first time of injection (N (15.23± 2.46) g,B 1 (16.14±2.28) g,B2(15.42±3.22) g,B3(14.35±2.32) g,S1 (15.37±2.11)g,S2(15.22±2.93) g,S3(16.25± 2.36) g) (all P＜0.05)).Compared with group N((16.13±2.37) g),the MWT of group B2,B3 and S3 increased obviously after the first time of injection ((35.12±5.16) g,(35.63± 1.53) g and (34.24±5.93) g) (P＜ 0.05).At the first day of injection,there was no significant difference in the BBB scores and the inclined plane test between the model groups (P＞0.05).At 6 h after the forth injection the inclined plane test and the BBB scores of group B3 were obviously decreased compared with group N ((34.72 ± 4.56) ° and (10.64 ± 1.82) points to (43.15±4.67)° and (14.05±1.78) points (P＜0.05)).Conclusion The results provide evidence that repeatedly epidural injection of butorphanol 50 μg or 100 μg or sufentanil 4 μg can reduce the pain of the rats with bone cancer pain.But repeated epidural injection of butorphanol 100 μg can injure the neurological function.

Objective To screen the mimotopes ofpemphigus vulgaris (PV) antigen, desmoglein3 (Dsg3) with a phage-displayed random nonapeptide library, so as to update the knowledge on the patho-genesis of PV. Methods Recombinant fusion protein of extracellular domain 1-2 (EC1-2) of Dsg3 and glutathione transferase was expressed by E.coli BL21, and used to purify polyclonal autoantibody binding to recombinant EC 1-2 from the sera of patients with PV. Then, selected autoantibody was applied as a ligand for biopanning of a phage-displayed linear random nonapeptide library and circular random nonapeptide library. Monoclonal phages were selected by immunoscreening and tested with ELISA and competitive ELISA. Results After two rounds ofbiopanning, a population ofpeptide-displaying phages binding to autoan- tidody were highly enriched. Sixty individual phage clones selected by immunosereening were further sub-jected to screening with ELISA and competitive ELISA. Finally, three positive phage clones were obtained. As shown by ELISA and competitive ELISA, they reacted with serum from patients with PV but not with that from normal human controls, and blocked the interaction between patients' sera and recombinant fusion protein of EC1-2. Conclusion Three mimotopes closely associated with PV antigen were successfully selected from a phage-displayed random nonapeptide library.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the preparation method of polystyrene core-poly (acrylamide-acrylic acid) shell fluorescent microspheres.

METHODSThe polystyrene core-poly (acrylamide-acrylic acid) shell (P-(St-co-AAM)) fluorescent microspheres were prepared using fluorescent microspheres as the core and acrylamide/acrylic as polymerization monomer. Reaction conditions affecting the morphology of core-shell structure including feeding mode, initiator, cross linker, pH, concentration and swelling were studied.

RESULTFluorescent microscopy showed that the relatively uniform particle sizes were distributed in a range of 7-8 μm. Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR) proved the existence of poly (acrylamide-acrylic acid) shell and amide group on the surface. The optimal conditions for seeding polymerization: azobisisobutyronitrile was used as the initiator in the absence of cross linker, after a 40 h swelling treatment by using alcohol with the appropriate reaction temperature (70 degree), reaction time (3 h) and pH(6-7). The average dispersion and stability were 25.14 % and 90.21%, respectively. The fluorescein release percentage was kept stable at approximately 30% after 40 h.

CONCLUSIONThe fluorescent microspheres prepared by this method have core-shell structure and satisfactory fluorescence properties with good dispersion and stability.
