OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of salmon calcitonin plus Xianling gubao for osteoporosis and ostealgia in postmenopausal women. METHODS:160 women with postmenopausal osteoporosis and ostealgia were randomized to 3 groups (treatment group and 2 control groups):the treatment group received(500 IU q.d) salmon calcitonin nasal spray plus Xianling gubao(1.5 g b.i.d orally); the control group Ⅰ received(500 IU q.d) salmon calcitonin nasal spray alone and the control group Ⅱ received Xianling gubao(1.5 g b.i.d orally) alone. All the patients received oral Caltrate D (1 tablet q.d). A course was defined as 30 days. After treatment for a total of 3 courses,the nature and degree of ostealgia in all the patients were assessed,and the outcome indexes were measured and the adverse drug reactions were recorded. RESULTS:There were significant differences between the treatment group and two control groups in total effective rates(92.59% for treatment group vs. 69.81% for control group Ⅰ and 67.92% for control group Ⅱ,P0.05). CONCLUSION:Treatment of osteoporosis and ostealgia in postmenopausal women with salmon calcitonin plus Xianling gubao has been proved to be safe and effective in that the bone density can be increased effectively and the osteoporotic pain of lumbar and back of the patients can be relieved.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the salvage therapy for a child with refractory and ( or) repeatedly-relapsed Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

METHODData of a patient with Langerhans cell histiocytosis whose disease relapsed repeatedly treated with cladribine was collected and analyzed and the related literature was reviewed.

RESULTThe initial symptoms developed 3 months after his birth, multiple systems (skin, skeleton, lung, liver) were involved; he was sequentially treated with LCH-III-Group I, JLSG-96, DAL-HX90 chemotherapeutic regimens. The patient got relapses for more than 3 times, but the disease got completely controlled after being treated with cladribine when the patient was 6 years old. The dosage was 10 mg/(m2 · d) for 4 days, and one course lasted for 28 days, the third to fifth courses of treatment used Arac in combination, the whole treating time lasted for 5 months. The patient remained in persistent remission for 8 months since discontinuation of treatment. "Langerhans cell histiocytosis" "refractory" "cladribine" were used as the key words to search in the data bases CNKI, Wanfangdata and Pubmed, 11 articles were picked. According to the literature, the effective rate of cladribine in treatment of repeatedly relapsing Langerhans cell histiocytosis was 44%-100%, with a good response of 22%-86%, the dose was 5-13 mg/(m2 · d). The main side effects were hematological system damages and infection.

CONCLUSIONThe effect of commonly used chemotherapeutic regimens is limited for children with refractory and (or) repeatedly-relapsed Langerhans cell histiocytosis and cladribine can be used as an alternative therapeutic option of the salvage therapy.

1 ?mol?L-1,and it was defined as "delayed" MTX elimination.Intra-patient variability in C48 was significant(P=0.000).Risk factors that correlated with increased C48 of MTX were boys,abnormal urine routine tests within 1 week before infusions,concurrent infections within 2 weeks before infusions,and co-administration of ceftriaxone(P

Objective To study paraquat adsorbability of different field soils in Guangxi province of China. Methods HPLC method was adopted to measure the peak area of paraquat in three different media of four types of soils. Chromatographic column was Kromasil C18 column (4. 6 mm×200 mm, 5 μm); mobile phase was acetonitrile-water (including 0. 03 mol·L-1 sodium heptanesulfonate and 0. 24 mol·L-1 phosphoric acid) at a ratio of 397 (pH adjusted to 2. 0 by triethylamine). Detection wave length was 258 nm; column temperature was 25 ℃; the injection volume was 20 μL; flow rate was 0. 8 mL·min-1 . The peak areas of paraquat before and after being adsorbed were compared to calculate the adsorption rate of paraquat in different soils. Results All tested soil samples possessed the adsorption rate of paraquat over 99. 0%. Conclusion Four common field soils in Guangxi province can be used as temporary effective absorbents for the first-aid of paraquat poisoning.

SUMMARY We described 1 case of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome ( ALPS) , first diagnosed in our hospital, and reviewed the recent literature. The 11-month old male patient presented with a histo-ry of splenomegaly and hepatomegaly since 1 month after birth. He suffered recurrent infectious diseases including cytomegalovirus infection, parvovirus B19 infection and chronic diarrhea disease. Besides, his symptoms included hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. The laboratory abnormality indicated an ex-panded population of alpha/beta double-negative T cells (DNTs) (27. 18% of lymphocytes, 35. 16% of CD3 + T lymphocytes) in peripheral blood, and autoantibodies including antinuclear antibody, double-stranded DNA and rheumatic factor were positive. Hyper gamma globulinemia and positive direct Coombs tests were seen in the patient. His parents were both healthy and denied autoimmune diseases. We iden-tified a heterozygous point mutation in exon 3 of the FAS gene carrying c. 309 A>C, resulting in a single base pair substitution in exon 3 of FAS gene which changed the codon of Arg103 to Ser103 . Unfortunate-ly, we were unable to obtain the gene results of the child' s parents. The patient was treated with glu-cocorticoids in our hospital and with mycophenolatemofetil in other hospital. And we were informed that his anemia condition relieved through the telephone follow-up, but he still suffered recurrent infections, hepatomegaly and splenomegaly still existed. As we all know ALPS is characterized by defective lympho-cyte apoptosis, and thus cause lymphoproliferative disease and autoimmune disease, and increase the risk of lymphoma. It is more likely to be misdiagnosed as other diseases. ALPS should be suspected in the case of chronic lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly and autoimmune features. Flow cytometry approach is helpful for the diagnosis. Immunosuppressive drugs are the necessary treatment.

Aim:To characterize the immune response to YCP, a polysaccharide (PS) isolated from marine filamentous fungus Phoma herbarum YS4108. Methods:YCP was coupled to bovine serum albumin (BSA) to construct three neoglycoproteins which are different in their degrees of substitution (DSs; ≈ 3, ≈ 6, or ≈ 10 mol of BSA carrier/mol of YCP hapten, respectively), and their immunogenicities were evaluated in mice following subcutaneous immunization,respectively. IgG subclasses against the PS and the carrier protein were measured in addition to the total IgG and IgM antibodies for YCP induced by the neoglycoproteins. Results: While unconjugated PS was weakly immunogenic, theneoglycoprotein induced vigorous primary IgM and booster IgG responses to PS and the carrier protein. Interestingly,the IgG subclass distribution was different between PS and the carrier protein; for PS, the IgG response was predominant of IgG2a subclass with approximately low levels of IgG2b and IgG1, while the response to the carrier protein was mainly of the IgG1 subclass with relatively low levels of IgG2a and IgG2b, and the lowest of IgG3. Conclusion:YCP has the potential to elicit preferentially IgG2a as the dominant isotype antibody in mice.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of the controlled virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) in liver of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated withnon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods Two hundred and twenty-seven patients with T2DM complicated with NAFLD were enrolled in this study,and the shear wave speed of the liver was measured by VTQ. Levels of the fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin,total cholesterol three acids glyceride, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein , aspertate aminotransferase , alanine aminotransferase , gamma glutamyl transpeptidase and uric acid were measured. The relationships among VTQ and the severity of NAFLD , and those quantitative indexes were analyzed. Results Univariate analysis showed that the value of shear wave speed was negatively correlated with age,duration of diabetes,INS and HDL-C,while was positively correlated with HbA1c and AST. Conclusion Age, sex and levels of serum HbA1c,INS,AST and HLD-C might affect the values of shear wave speed in patients with T2DM complicated with NAFLD.

Health management plays an important role in the control of medical costs and in maintaining people' s health.Since the beginning of health management performance in our country,the major problems were:inadequacy of govement's support;imperfect laws;irregular marketing operation;lack of feasible health management model;controversy over long-term economic benefits;lack of awareness on health in common people and so on.To solve these problems,it is necessary to strengthen government support,and enhance people's health awareness,and explore the health management model consistent with the actual situation in China.
