Objective To evaluate the relationship between Helicobac ter pylori (Hp) related gastritis and gastric mucosa content of interleukin - 8 (IL-8) and granuloeyte colony-stimulating factor ( G-CSF). Methods ELISA was used to detect the amount of IL-8 and G-CSF in supernate fluid of gastromucosal tissue culture from 60 patients, and to examine the difference between Hp infected and non-Hp infected cases. These 60 cases include normal gastric mucosa (n =20) , chronic gastritis mucosa (n = 14) , gastric ulcer mucosa (n = 13) , duodenal ulcer mucosa ( n = 13 ). Results The amounts of IL-8 and G-CSF in cases with Hp infection were significantly higher than those without infection (P

Objective To analyze and investigate clinical characteristics, pathogenesis and treatment of urinary tract infection and aseptic meningitis. Methods Clinical features and laboratory tests of a two-month-old baby girl with urinary tract infection and aseptic meningitis were reported. Results The patient complained of fever, neck stiffness and a bulging fontanel, accompanied by congestion and abnormal secretion of urethra. The cerebrospinal lfuid (CSF) white blood cell count was 30×106/L. The blood culture and the CSF culture were both negative. And the urine culture was positive for Enterococcus faecium. The patient received a 10-day course of intravenous antibiotic therapy. The prognosis is good with no recurrence of the disease. Conclusions Aseptic meningitis can be concomitant with urinary tract infection, The probable hypothesis may be that sterile CSF pleocytosis is mediated by urinary tract infection. Knowledge of this may prevent unnecessary antibiotics therapy for presumed bacterial meningitis.

Objective To study the effect of myocardial ischemic preconditioning on activity of ATPase and creatine kinase(CK) in high blood fat rat. Methods High blood fat rat mode was established from SD rats.The rats were randomly divided into three groups: ischemic preconditioning(IPC), ischemic/reperfusion(I/R) and control group.The activity of CK in coronary outflow,the activity of malonyldialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione perodxidase(GSH-Px) and ATPase in myocardium were dectected. Results CK and MDA were significantly less in IPC group than those in I/R group.In IPC group,the activity of SOD,GSH-Px,Na~(+)-K~(+)-ATPase,Ca~(2+)-ATPase and Ca~(2+)-Mg~(2+)-ATPase were much higher than those in I/R group. Conclusion Myocardial ischemic preconditioning can protect high blood fat rat from ischemic/reperfusion injury.

Background Laser peripheral iridotomy(LPI) is used as the primary therapy for the eyes at risk of angle closure.But there are still 28% eyes with primary angle closure suspect occur angle closure within 2 years after LPI.It is necessary to explore the associated factors of the efficacy of LPI.Objective The aim of this study was to explore the changes of intraocular pressure(IOP) and anterior chamber angle in the fellow eyes of patients with unilateral acute attack of primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and analyze the relevant factors influencing the successful rate of LPI.Methods Eighty-seven fellow eyes received LPI from 87 patients with unilateral acute attack of PACG were included in this study and retrospectively analyzed.The IOP and gonioscopy were performed before and 1 week,3,6,9,12 months after LPI.Successful signs of LPI were defined as an IOP 6-21mmHg without any anti-glaucoma medication,none of glaucomatous neuropathy and the coincident visual field loss,and no need of additional glaucomatous medication or surgery.This study was approved by Ethic Committee of the First Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College,and written informed consent was obtained from each patient.Results Seventy-nine eyes of 79 cases finished the medical visit throughout the follow-up duration with the age 61.4±0.4 years and 33(41.8%) males and 46(58.2%) females.The mean IOP was lowed in various time points after LPI in comparison with before operation with the general difference among different time visiting groups(F=4.056,P＜0.01).Shaffer grade was increased in superior,temporal and nasal quadrants and significant differences were found between 1 week group,3 months group or 6 months group and before operation group (P＜0.05).LPI lessened the range of appositional angle closure (AAC) in postoperative 1 week group and 3 months group compared with pre-operative group (P＜0.05),but no statistically significant reduce was seen in range of AAC from 6 months through 12 months after LPI in comparison with pre-operation (P＞0.05).LPI was determined as successful in 61 cases (77.2%) during one-year fellow-up period.Several variables,such as preoperative IOP,Shaffer grade of each quadrant,mean Shaffer grade and the extent of AAC,were significantly different between LPI success and failure group(P＜0.01).Cox stepwise regression analysis found that the success rate was significantly associated with the extent of AAC (Wald=48.150,RR=1.963,P＜0.01) rather than pre-IOP,Shaffer grade of each quadrant,mean Shaffer grade,age and gender (P＞0.05).Conclusion LPI can widen the anterior chamber angle and low IOP in the fellow eyes of PACG attack eyes.The success rate of LPI is associated with the extent of pre-AAC,suggesting that it is necessary for LPI in consideration of the extent of pre-AAC.

ObjectiveTo explore the change of ranges of abduction motion of hip joint in the simplified Taichi quan exercise.MethodsThe ranges of abduction motion of hip joint of 30 healthy male young subjects were measured using a goniometer.ResultsThe ranges of abduction motion of both hip joints had markedly exceeded their normal ranges of 0°-45°abduction motion during the exercise.ConclusionThe simplified Taichi quan can strengthen hip abductors to prevent and correct the deformity of hip adduction.

Objective To know the effect of psychological nursing for aged patients with femoral neck fractures when cured by artificila hip replacement. Methods Divided 158 aged patients with femoral neck fractures into the intervention group (84 cases) and control group (68 cases) randomly. Routine nursing cares were used in the control group, while the psychological nursing intervention were used in the intervention group in addition. Compared the degree of postoperative pains and preoperative anxiety between the two groups, and then evaluated the function of limbs. Results The degree of postoperative pains and preoperative anxiety in the interventioni group was better than that of in control group respectively, the condition of limb function was better in the intervention group than in the control group. Conclusions Psychological intervention can promote rehabilitation for aged patients with femoral neck fractures when cured by artificila hip replacement, which can guarantee the satisfactory prognosis.

Objective To study the regulatory T cells (Treg-cell) frequencies in patients with childhood acute leukemia and evaluate its clinical application value by investigating the relationship between the increasing numbers of Treg cells and minimal residual disease of leukemia (MRD), Methods Foxp3-FITC/CD25-PE/CD4-PerCP/CD3-APC four-color staining flow cytometry was established to identify Treg cells. Treg cells frequencies both in 10 healthy controls and in 33 patients with newly diagnosed childhood acute leukemia ( B-ALL 17 cases, T-ALL 9 cases, AML 7 cases) were detected. The possibility of the accumulation of Treg cells being the prognostic marker for acute leukemia was evaluated by comparing the results of Treg cells frequency with that of MRD. Results The percentage of Treg cells in CD+4 CD+3 T cells was M = 8. 09% in normal bone marrows, which was significantly different from the results in the bone marrows of newly diagnosed childhood acute leukemia ( M = 12.77% , U = 3.41, P < 0.01 ), but it showed no significantly differences among B-ALL, T-ALL and AML groups. No association was observed between the expression of Treg cells and clinical-biologic characteristics studied. In addition, Treg cells frequency in MRD positive group was significantly different from that in MRD continuously negative group ( M = 14. 74% vs M=11.3%, t =252.5,P<0.05). Conclusions Consistent with results from solid tumor, the study identifies a significantly increased numbers of Treg cells in patients with childhood acute leukemia. The situation of accumulation of Treg cells is closely associated with MRD results during chnical remission. High level of Treg cells may cause poor prognosis and increase the possibility of relapse.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of heart rate turbulence (HRT) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods From October 2006 to May 2009, a total of 96 elderly CHF inpatients were selected, and the clinic data were recorded. Based on the echocardiogram and dynamic electrocardiogram, the differences of sinus HRT index of patients with different cardiac function classification were analyzed. During 9-28 months medical follow-up, the treatment endpoint was death from heart disease. Based on Logisitc regression, the prognostic values of HRT, age, hypertension, diabetes, myocardial infarction (MI), left ventricular ejection fraction, ACEI and β- adrenergic blocker for death of CHF patients were analyzed.Results There was no significant difference in HRT between grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ cardiac function (χ~2 = 1.60, P>0. 05), and between grade Ⅲ and grade Ⅳ cardiac function (χ~2 = 1.43, P>0. 05). But there was significant difference in HRT between grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅳ cardiac function patients χ~2 =9.84, P<0. 05), and HRT was weaken in grade Ⅳ group. The average follow-up time was (18. 0±9.6) months. Of all 96 patients, there were 34 dead of heart disease. There were correlations of death of CHF with HRT, low LVEF (≤ 45%), age (≥65 years), diabetes, MI and classification of heart function. Conclusions The sinus HRT in CHF patients has a favorable prognostic value.
