Objective To assess the effect of Ambroxol combined with Naloxone on respiratory insufficiency on premature infants. Methods A total of 168 premature infants treated from 2006 to 2009 in our hospital were divided into two groups randomly. Additionally to the conventional treatment, Ambroxol (5 mg pertime) combined with Naloxone (0.1mg pertime) intravenously injected 2 to 3 times one day for 3 to 5 days in the treatment group(86 cases). The control group (82 cases) was treated by routine Aminophylline injection,3- 5 mg/kg pertime, 2 to 3 times one day. Respiratory rates, regulately or not,breathholding, cyanosis and apnea,mechanically ventilated time,time of oxygen inhaling, time of hospital stay and the overall response rate were measured. Results The overall response rate was 80% (69/86) in the treatment group and 56% (46/82)in the control group, with significant difference between the two groups ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Mechanically ventilated time,time of oxygen inhaling and hospital stay in the treatment group was (110.5±45.1) hrs, (169.3±58.6) hrs and ( 12±3) days, which were all significantly lower than that in the control group ( 181.1±81.2) hrs, (236.6±87.8)hrs and (16±5)days,respectively(P＜0.01 or 0.05). Conclusion Ambroxol and Naloxobe additional to conventional treatment could improve the respiratory function in premature infants with respiratory insufficiency safely with less side effects. Moreover,breathing machine could be removed to some extent,which made it more applicable in primary hospitals.

Objective To comparing the safety and effectiveness of patient-controlled sedation and analgesia with topical anesthesia during strabismus surgery. Methods Sixty-eight patients were selected and randomly divided into two groups (n=34): patient-controlled sedation and analgesia (P group) and control group(C group). SBP, HR, Ramsay's score, cooperation score, satisfactory score, visual pain score(VAS) and side-effects such as agitation and low SpO2 during the surgery were measured. Results There were no significant changes of SBP, HR in P group from 10 minutes after the starting of operation to the end,while SBP, HR in C group were higher in all the procedure than those of the base value. Ramsay's score, cooperation score, satisfactory score of the patients in P group were higher than those in C group. VAS score, agitation and groan incidence were higher in C group than those of in P group. Conclusions Patient-controlled sedation analgesia with a combination of sufentanil and propofol is a safe and effective method for strabismus surgery.

Objective To investigate the role of immunophenotyping in distinguishing mycosis fun- goides (MF) from lichen planus and psoriasis.Methods The expression of CD1a,CD4,CD8,ICAM-1, LFA-1,HLA-DR,CD30 and CD7 was measured by ABC immunohistochemical technique in specimens ob- tained from lesional skin of 15 cases of MF,17 cases of lichen planus and 17 cases of psoriasis,and in the skin of 6 healthy controls.Results In the lesional epidermis of MF,the density of cells positive for CD1a, CD30 or ICAM-1,was significantly higher (mononuclear cells,P＜0.001;dendritic cells,P＜0.01) than that in the lesional epidermis of lichen planus,psoriasis and in the skin of healthy controls.The density of cells positive for CD4 or CD8 and of dendritic cells positive for HLA-DR was higher in lesional epidermis of MF than in that of lichen planus.The linear density of CD1a-positive cells (P＜0.01),the percentages of cells positive for ICAM-1 (P＜0.05) or LFA-1 (P＜0.05) were all higher in the lesional dermis of MF than in that of lichen planus.As far as the CD7-positive cell density was concerned,it was higher in the lesional dermis of lichen planus and psoriasis than in that of MF and skin of healthy controls (P＜0.01), while no difference was found between the epidermis of MF and that of lichen planus or psoriasis.Conclu- sion There are differences in the expression of CD1a,CD4,CD8,ICAM-1,LFA-1,HLA-DR,CD30 and CD7 in the lesional skin of MF,lichen planus and psoriasis,which may provide a clue to the pathogenesis of these diseases.

Objecfive To study the effects of some cytokines such as TNF-α,IL-6 and IFN-γ as well as lipopolysaccharide on CD68 expression in HaCaT cells.Methods Human HaCaT keratinocytes were randomly divided into natural proliferation group (without stimulation),IFN-γ-stimulated group,TNF-α-stimulated group,LPS-stimulated group and IL-6 stimulated group.The work concentration of TNF-α,IL-6,IFN-γ and LPS was 50 mg/L.HaCaT cells were collected after 24-hour treatment with the cytokines followed by the examination of CD68 expression with flow cytometry,immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription(RT)-PCR,respectively.Results Compared with untreated HaCaT cells,the count of CD68-positive cells was elevated in cells stimulated by TNF-α(t=3.60,P<0.01),IL-6(t=3.93,P<0.01),IFN-γ(t=2.38,P<0.05)and LPS(t=2.52,P<0.05),and the effect of TNF-α and IL-6 was stronger than that of IFN-γ and LPS.Among the four cytokines,only IL-6 enhanced the mean fluorescence intensity of CD68-positive cells (t=8.34,P<0.01).After 24-hour treatment with TNF-α,IFN-γ and IL-6,CD68 expression was observed in the cytoplasm and on the membrane of HaCaT cells and was stronger in cells treated with TNF-α and IL-6 than in those with the other cytokines.A significant increase was observed in the CD68 mRNA expression after 24-hour treatment with TNF-α (t=4.34,P<0.01),IL-6 (t=7.52,P<0.01)and IFN-γ (t=2.81,P<0.05);TNF-α and IL-6showed a stronger promotive effect than IFN-γ.Conclusion IL-6,TNF-α,IFN-γ and LPS can upregulate the CD68 expression in HaCaT cells.

Objective:To observe the distribution,morphology and density of monocytes/macrophages and dendritic cells in the normal human dermis.Methods:Normal skin from 6 locations such as the face,trunk,proximal limbs,distal limbs,and palms and soles of 8 subjects were collected for the study.The horizontal and longitudinal sections of the skin were stained with an ABC immunoperoxidase procedure with anti-CD1a and anti-CD68 monoclonal antibodies.Results:In the superficial dermis CD68 positive monocytes/macrophages form a dense network with a density in a 6-micron section ranging from 361/mm~2 to 562/mm~2.These network of CD68 positive cells continued on to surround the blood vessels and skin appendages.Lower densities of CD68 positive dendritic cells were found in the deep(reticular) dermis,dispersed between collagen bundles.The CD68 positive cells were detected within the superficial dermis with variable densities: distal limbs 562/mm~2,trunk 517/mm~2,face 509/mm~2,palms 507/mm~2,proximal limbs,472/mm~2,and soles 361/mm~2.Conclusion:There exists in the superficial dermis a relatively dense network of CD68 positive monocytes/macrophages.Such a distribution might indicate the clear polarity of the dermal monocytes/macrophages,with their direction of defense towards to the dermal-epidermal junction.

This study aimed at optimizing the extraction process of Bi Xie Fen Qing (BXFQ) drink using ultrasound-microwave cooperation with central composite design-response surface method in comparison with the traditional decoction process.Taking microwave frequency,amount of water,extraction time as the main detection factors,diosgenin,glycyrrhizic acid and the extract yield were tested as the evaluation indexes;and taking an integrated score as response value for response surface and contour,predictive analysis was carried out and the optimum extraction conditions were achieved.It was found that the optimum extraction process of BXFQ drink was identified:the microwave frequency was 434 W,water addition was 18.4 times,extraction time was 9.3 mins and the ultrasonic frequency was fixed at 50 W.Under the optimum process,the diosgenin extraction yield rate was 23.17％ (mg· g-1),extraction yield rate of glycyrrhizic acid was 0.64％ (g·g-1),and the extraction yield rate of extractum was 34.12％ (g·g-1).All the indexes were superior to those of the traditional method.It is concluded that the composite design-response surface method is suitable for the extraction optimization of BXFQ drink with favorable predictability of the mathematical model.The optimized ultrasoundmicrowave cooperation was easy to operate with high extraction efficiency.It is suitable for industrialized production with the provision of a scientific reference for the modern formulation development of BXFQ drink.

Objective To prepare two types of biodegradable modified materials (chitosan and collagen)and evaluate whether the new materials are suitable for tissue engineering cartilage.Methods Collagen and chitosan were both modified by poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate-co-glutamine acid (PBLG-co-PGA) with different proportions.The contact angle,degradation rate,tensile strength,cell attachment and cytocompatibility were tested and compared.Results As the PBLG-co-PGA content varied,the degradation rates of PBLG-co-PGA composites became adjustable,the hydrophilicity of PBLG-co-PGA/chitosan was improved,and the tensile strength increased in PBLG-co-PGA/collagen composite.The composites with 30％ PBLG-co-PGA were chosen for cytocompatibility and cell attachment experiments.The rabbit condrocytes grew significantly better on PBLG-co-PGA/chitosan than on other three materials(P＜0.05).Conclusion PBLG can improve the hydrophilicity,tensile strength and regulate the degradation rate of composite materials,and the cytocompatibility of the composites with 30％ of PBLG is good,among which PBLG-co-PGA/chitosan can even promote cell proliferation.It could be a new choice of scaffold for tissue engineering cartilage.
