Objective To investigate the effect of salbutamol aerosol combined with magnesium sulfate on IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IFN-γand T lymphocyte subsets in pediatric asthma patients.Methods 38 pediatric asthma patients were selected and randomly divided into control group and experimental group.Control group was treated by clinical routine method.Experimental group was treated by salbutamol aerosol combined with magnesium sulfate.The IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IFN-γ, T lymphocyte subsets, blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory and clinical effects were observed and compared.ResuIts Compared with control group, the serum levels of IL-2 and IFN-γwere higher(P<0.05).The IL-5, IL-4 level were lower(P<0.05).The CD3 +, CD4 +, CD4 +/CD8 +level were higher(P<0.05).The serum CD8 +were lower(P<0.05).The total efficiency were higher(P<0.05).ConcIusion Salbutamol aerosol combined with magnesium sulfate can effectively regulate T lymphocyte subsets proportion and cytokine levels in asthmatic children, enhance immunity, and improve the clinical symptoms.

Objective To observe the effect of automobile exhaust pollutants in air of underground parking area on immune system of mice. Methods Thirty female Kunming mice were divided into a control(relatively clean) group and a polluted group(each n=15)by a random number table method. The control group was housed on the roof of a mechanical building located at the south campus of Sun Yat-sen University,while the polluted group was housed in the minus second layer of underground parking lot at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. The data of atmospheric pollutants were recorded at both feeding sites. The mice's food-intake and body weight were also observed. After 3 months of observation,the mice were sacrificed and peripheral serum was harvested. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was performed to detect the level of tumor necrotic factor-α(TNF-α),transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)and interleukin-4(IL-4). Results The levels of air pollutants in pollution group were higher than those in control group〔carbonmonoxide(CO,mg/m3:16.784±3.093 vs. 2.249±0.112),nitrogen oxides(NOx, mg/m3:0.318±0.041 vs. 0.065±0.030)and particulate matter(PM2.5,mg/m3:0.309±0.051 vs. 0.055±0.013),all P<0.001〕. The amount of food intake and body weight of the polluted group were obviously lower than those of the control group〔food-intake:670 g vs. 960 g,body weight:(37.13±1.11)g vs.(41.23±1.34)g, both P<0.001〕. There was no abnormal death in both groups. The serum levels of TNF-α(ng/L:247.93±22.25 vs. 143.33±39.01), TFG-β1(ng/L:395.77±41.29 vs. 319.15±20.72) and IL-4(ng/L:231.89±20.04 vs. 194.09±3.57)were significantly higher in the mice of polluted group than those in the control group(all P<0.001). Conclusions The automobile exhaust pollutants in the air of underground parking lot have obvious effects on the levels of serum inflammatory cytokines of mice. It is suggested that the presence of pollutants activate the body's inflammatory process and lead to disturbance of immune system of female Kunming mice.

Objective To assess the risk factors of multidrug-resistant organism(MDRO)healthcare-associated pneumonia(HCAP).Methods The case-control study was conducted in patients admitted to 22 hospitals in 4 cities between April 1 ,2013 and December 31 ,2013,patients with HCAP caused by MDRO (MRSA,MDRPA,MDRAB, ESBL KP,ESBL E.coli)(drug-resistant group )and drug-sensitive organisms (MSSA,PA,AB,KP,E.coli)(drug-sensitive group )were surveyed .Univariate and multivariate statistical analysis methods were used to evaluate the risk factors for MDRO HCAP.The prognosis,cost and length of hospital stay between drug-resistant group and drug-sensitive group were compared .Results A total of 1 656 patients were included in the study ,including 43 pa-tients (2.60%)with mixed infection caused by both drug-resistant and drug-sensitive organisms ;there were 927 ca-ses (55.98%)in drug-resistant group and 772 cases(46.62%)in drug-sensitive group .Logistic regression model re-vealed that admission to ICUs (OR 95%CI :1 .55[1 .14-2.11]),mechanical ventilation (OR 95%CI :1 .45[1 .15-1 .84]),arteriovenous catheterization (OR 95%CI :1 .29 [1 .02 - 1 .63 ]),fiberbronchoscopy (OR 95%CI :1 .46 [1 .02-2.09]),antimicrobial use(OR 95%CI :1 .63[1 .20-2.22]),chronic lung diseases (OR 95%CI :1 .54[1 .13-2.10]),and chronic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (OR 95%CI :1 .42[1 .15-1 .74])were independ-ent risk factors for MDRO HCAP .Compared with drug-sensitive group ,drug-resistant group prolonged length of hospital stay by an average of 5.89 days,increased hospitalization and antimicrobial expense by ¥40 739.30 and¥2 805.80 respectively;prognoses was worse,risk factor was 1 .66-fold of drug-sensitive group(OR 95%CI :1 .16-2.35).Conclusion Admission to ICUs,invasive operations,antimicrobial use,chronic lung diseases and chronic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases can increase the risk of MDRO HCAP .

The basic information and clinical application of nutritional risk scales for children with cancer were reviewed, and the strengths and weaknesses of each scale were analyzed. After systematic search and reading, the scales with more clinical applications included universal scales: Pediatric Malnutrition Assessment Screening Tool (STAMP), Nutritional Risk and Stunting Malnutrition Screening Tool (STRONG kids), Pediatric Yorkhill Malnutrition Score (PYMS), Pediatric Subjective Global Nutritional Risk Assessment (SGNA); specific scales: Nutritional Screening Tool for Childhood Cancer (SCAN), Nutritional Risk Screening for Childhood Cancer (NRS-PC). In order to effectively manage the nutritional risk of pediatric cancer patients, we should selectively use and further actively Chinese or develop specific nutritional risk measurement tools adapted to our national conditions.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT in clinical stage of nasopharyngeal fi-broangioma. Methods The clinical data and imaging findings of CT in 40 patients with nasopharyngeal fibroangioma confirmed by operation and pathologic examination were retrospectively analyzed. The size, shape, density, boundary, strengthen and the changes of the adjacent structure of the mass were observed and analyzed. Results According to Radkowski classification, 3 cases were evaluated as stageⅠa, 9 cases were evaluated as stage Ⅰb, 8 cases were eval-uated as stage IIa, 10 cases were evaluated as stage IIb, 5 cases were evaluated as stage IIc, 3 cases were evaluated as stageⅢa and 2 cases were evaluated as stageⅢb. Most corrosive location were in nasopharynx, pterygopalatine fos-sa, sphenoid sinus, maxillary sinus, eye socket and followed occurred in fratemporal fossa, and few corrosive location were in sclerotin of pars buccalis, cavernous sinus and basis cranii. The tumor showed uniform and slightly lower den-sity but obviously strengthening after administration of Gd-DTPA. Conclusion Multi-slice spiral CT has important clinical value for the clinical stage diagnosis, preoperative localization, evaluating the postoperative extent and the prognosis of the nasopharyngeal fibroangioma.
