The effects of anisodamine (654-2) on blood lactate, plasma glucose and hepatocytic glycogen levels were observed in 25 endotoxin-treated dogs. The results showed that the elevated blood lactate level decreased more rapidly and was sign-ificanly lower in the 654-2 treated group compared with the control group at 4,5 and 6h after endotoxin administration (P

Objective To investigate the role of tracheotomy in children with severe hand foot and mouth disease.Methods Eight children with severe hand foot and mouth disease collected from July 2009 to August 2011 in PICU were retrospectively reviewed.Clinical manifestation and laboratory data were analyzed and followed up.Results Eight patients were enterovirus 71 (EV71) positive.Hormones,intravenous immune globulin,mechanical ventilation and vasodilators had been administered in patients with cardiopulmonary failure.They had severe neurologic sequelae,requiring prolonged intubation.MRI imaging of 7 cases showed abnormal brainstem,pons and medulla oblongata,1 case showed swelling of brain tissue.A total of 8 patients underwent a tracheotomy in mean (25.63 ± 8.86) d.The older was 22 months,the younger was 8 months and the mean age was (13.13 ±4.22) months.Four cases died,the other survived.Two cases were successfully decannulation,the other two were still in the tracheotomy.Conclusion Tracheostomy play an active role in reducing airway resistance,clearing airway secretions,providing the opportunity for subsequent rehabilitation.Eight patients were followed up for three years,neurological sequelae could not be restored.Four cases repeatedly suffer from pneumonia,atelectasis,leading to a serious decline in quality of life.

Tick-borne encephalitis ( TBE) is a well-known central nervous system ( CNS) infection in children. The disease in children is generally milder,although severe illness may occur and even lead to perma-nent impairment of the quality of life due to neuropsychological sequelae. We review the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of tick-borne encephalitis,and summarise biological and virological aspects that are impor-tant for understanding the life-cycle and transmission of the virus. Tick-borne encephalitis virus is a flavivirus that is transmitted by ixodes persulcatus. Tick-borne encephalitis causes acute meningoencephalitis. The serologi-cal diagnosis is usually straightforward. No specific treatment for the disease exists,and immunisation is the main preventive measure.

Objective To investigate the association between the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-or (PPARα) polymorphism rs1800206 (c.484C ＞ G,L162V) and the risk of metabolic syndrome (MES)Methods There were 1184 subjects aged 40-60 years recruited from our hospital between March 2010 and March 2011.The PPARα polymorphism 484C ＞ G was genotyped using TAQMAN assay by real-time PCR. The relationship between PPARα polymorphism and MES risk were investigated.Results The genotype frequencies were 91.4％,8.4％ and 0.2％ for the PPARα CC,CG and GG,respectively.This SNP was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium(P =0.845).Compared with the most common CC genotype,the variant genotypes(CG + GG) had higher fasting glucose((5.82 ± 1.59) mmol/L vs (5.49 ± 1.17) mmol/L,t =2.630,P =0.009) and LDL-C levels((3.53 ± 1.03) mmol/L vs (3.36 ± 0.65) mmol/L,t =2.376,P =0.018) and lower HDL-C levels ((1.56 ± 0.35) mmol/L vs (1.65 ± 0.43) mmol/L,t =2.430,P =0.015).Furthermore,the 484G variant genotypes(CG + GG)was associated with the risk of MES after adjusting for age,gender,education,BMI and lifestyle (smoking and alcohol status) (adjusted OR =1.89 ;95％ CI =1.09-3.23,P =0.012).Condusion PPARα polymorphism rs1800206 is a significant independent predictor of the MES in Southern Chinese.
