Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on the stature of children with Turner syndrome(TS) and analyze its influencing factors in treatment.Methods Twelve children with TS were selected in the outpatient department of West China second hospital of sichuan university between Jan.2004 to Jun.2007.They were diagnosed as TS with karyotypically.The average age was 4.9-16.9(11.28?3.64)years old.Every patient must be made sure to have normal liver function,kidney funtion and MRI for hypothalamus and pituitary before enrollment.All cases were never treated with growth hormone or estrin.Not all the patients had the same manifestations:12 cases with short stature,9 cases with cubitus valgue,8 cases with broad chest,4 cases with low posterior hairline,2 cases with webbed neck,11 cases without pubes and armpit hair,none with menarche.Every patient must be made sure to have normal liver function,kidney funtion and MRI for hypothalamus and pituitary before enrollment.rhGH was used subcutaneously 3-5 cm around navel eve-ry night before sleep.Average rhGH dose was 0.16 IU/(kg?d)[0.15-0.18 IU/(kg?d)],and height standard deviation score (HtSDS) was calculated and compared before and after rhGH treatment,and adverse reactions were observed.Results The duration of treatment was different:9 cases for 12 cases months,2 cases for 15 cases months and 1 case for 18 cases months.The average height increase rat was (0.55?0.15) cm / month.Difference of HtSDS existed before and after treatment by t test(t=2.87 P

Abstract: Objective　To explore the correlation between levels of hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in serum and alveolar fluid and severity of disease in children with lobar pneumonia. Methods　A total of 112 children diagnosed with lobar pneumonia from September 2020 to September 2021 were selected as the research subjects. The levels of hs-CRP and PCT in serum and alveolar fluid were detected by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The children were divided into severe group (clinical pulmonary infection score, CPIS≥6 points) and mild group (CPIS<6 points) according to the severity of disease, and further classified into good prognosis group (cured, improved) and poor prognosis group (uncured) according to their treatment outcomes. The correlation of levels of hs-CRP and PCT in serum and alveolar fluid with disease severity in children and their predictive value on prognosis were analyzed. Results　The levels of serum hs-CRP and PCT in severe group were (17.73±3.26) μg/L and (8.59±1.84) μg/L, which were significantly higher than corresponding (12.58±3.09) μg/L, and (5.62±1.59) μg/L in mild group (P<0.05); the levels of hs-CRP and PCT in alveolar fluid in severe group were (21.25±4.18) μg/L and (8.71±1.54) μg/L, which were significantly higher than corresponding (13.79±2.76) μg/L and (5.38±1.69) μg/L in mild group (P<0.05). The levels of hs-CRP and PCT in serum and alveolar fluid were positively correlated with CPIS scores (r=0.398, 0.441; 0.475, 0.586, P<0.05). The levels of hs-CRP and PCT in serum in poor prognosis group were (20.09±4.20) μg/L and (13.35±2.91) μg/L, which were significantly higher corresponding (8.75±2.19) μg/L and (6.28±1.31) μg/L in good prognosis group (P<0.05). The levels of hs-CRP and PCT in alveolar fluid were (23.70±4.29) μg/L and (10.73±2.04) μg/L, which were higher than corresponding (15.08±3.56) μg/L and (5.79±1.10) μg/L in poor prognosis group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in AUC between combined detection of serum indicators and combined detection of alveolar perfusion fluid indicators in predicting the prognosis of children with lobar pneumonia (P>0.05). Conclusions　The levels of hs-CRP and PCT in serum and alveolar fluid of children with lobar pneumonia are significantly increased and positively correlated with the severity of disease. However, the predictive value of the combined detection of serum indicators and combined detection of alveolar perfusion fluid indicators for the prognosis of children with lobar pneumonia is comparable.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of hypertonic seawater and isotonic seawater for nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis mice model, and explore the possible mechanism of nasal irrigation with seawater in treatment of allergic rhinitis. METHOD: We used Der pl to make allergic rhinitis model of BALB/c mice, and divided them into three groups randomly. Nasal irrigation with hypertonic seawater (HS) or isotonic seawater (IS) in the treatment group 1-14 days after modeling, and black control (BC) group was given no treatment after modeling. Normal control (NC) group was given no treatment, the number of rubs and sneezings in each group were counted in 30 min after the last nasal irrigation. Mice were then killed 24 h after the last therapy. The noses of mice from each group were removed and fixed, then the slices were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, the others were observed by transmission electron microscope. RESULT: Mice with hypertonic seawater and isotonic seawater were significantly improved in rubs and sneezings compared to the black control group (P<0. 05); The number of eosinophiles in mucosal tissues of HS group and IS group had no significant difference with that of the black control group (P> 0. 05); Ciliated columnar epithelium cells in mucosal tissues of HS group and IS group were arranged trimly, better than that in the black control group. Morphology and microstructure in nasal mucosal of HS group was closer to the normal group than in IS group. CONCLUSION The injury of nasal mucosa ciliated epithelium was significantly improved by nasal irrigation with hypertonic seawater and isotonic seawater, and the former is better than the latter, the mechanism of nasal irrigation with seawater in treatment of allergic rhinitis may rely on repairing the injured nasal mucosa ciliated epithelium, thereby the symptoms of nasal was reduced.

Objective To investigate the expression pattern of skeletal muscle specific miR-206,myogenesis related myoD which change with time in dcnervated muscle atrophy rats.Methods From June,2015 to January,2016,40 SPF sprague-dawley rats were equally classified into 5 groups randomly according to standard settled before,5 groups were separately defined as denervated 0d group,denervated 1d group,denervated 7d group,denervated 14d group,and denervated 28d group.Each group contained 8 rats.The rats atrophy models were established by cutting sciatic never on left side.According to the different denervated time,the gastrocnemii on both sides were obtained under anesthesia,respectively.The wet weight ratio of two compared gastrocnemii were measured,and the gastrocnemii transection was observed by HE stain,measured the expression of myoD protein by western blot,obtained the expression of miR-206,myoD mRNA by qPCR.Results According to our study on rats denervated atrophy models,the wet ratio of compared gastrocnemius would decrease rapidly,by HE stain,decease of cross sectional area in muscle fiber was observed as well as degeneration.Collagen fibers hyperplasia appeared and increased with time change.Wet ratio and transaction aera ratio of group Od,1d,7d,14d,28d were 0.99±0.04,0.92±0.07,0.68±0.11,0.39±0.06,0.27±0.07 and 0.99±0.02,0.96±0.04,0.51±0.09,0.34±0.08,0.23±０.03 respectively,difference between experimental groups and control group were statistically significant (P＜ 0.05),the differences between each experimental groups were also statistically significant (P＜ 0.05).After qPCR test of miR-206,myoD mRNA expression,it was found that their expression patterns were similar,miR-206,myoD mRNA increased at first and would reach the expression peak at the 7 th day,after that their contents decreased but still higher at the 14th day when compared with that at the 1 st day.Their expression of group 0d,1 d,7d,14d,28d were 0.24±0.06,0.34±0.04,0.68±0.04,0.49± 0.07,0.25±0.03 and 0.41 ±0.06,0.49±0.09,0.93±0.06,0.66±0.03,0.39±0.04,respectively.All experimental groups were statistically significant different when compared with 0d group except 1d group (P＜ 0.05),the differences between each experimental groups were also statistically significant(P＜ 0.05).The protein expression of myoD was also measured by western blot test,which showed nearly the same expression pattern as the mRNA expression pattern.After injury,the protein expression increased and reached the expression peak at the 7th day.The relative expression of myoD of group 0d,1d,7d,14d,28d measured by grey ratio were 1.03±0.05,1.06±0.06,1.42±0.10,0.66±0.13,0.24±0.07,respectively.The difference between experimental groups and control group were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05),the differences between each experimental groups were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05) as well.Conclusion The degree of muscle denervation atrophy was related to the denervated duration in rats.The expression regulation of miR-206 and myoD in gastrocnemius was similar during the muscle denervation atrophy,which suggesting having internal relationship between miR-206 and myoD.

AIM: To explored the treatment effects of retinal laser photocoagulation and the applications of color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI) in the diabetic retinopathy.METHODS: We collected 60 patients(120 eyes) with diabetic retinopathy(Ⅲ~Ⅳstage) from February 2013 to February 2014 in Anyang Eye Hospital admitted in fundus disease department.The health control (HC) group of 55 normal people was established simultaneously.Ocular blood flow velocity of the 55 normal people (110 eyes) and the 60 patients (120 eyes) was examined by CDFI of central retinal artery (CRA) and posterior ciliary artery (PCAs) using the PHILIPS HD6.Peak systolic velocity(PSV) was recorded.The examinations of CDFI, electroretinogram(ERG) and the vision were performed in pre-operation, 1,7d, 1, 3 and 6mo postoperatively.RESULTS: Compared the PSV of CRA of the DR group before and after photocoagulation to the data of the HC group, there was a significant difference(P<0.05);compared the PSV of CRA of the DR group after photocoagulation with the data before, there was a significant difference(P<0.05).Compared the PSV of PCAs of the DR group before and after photocoagulation to the data of the HC group, there was a significant difference(P<0.05);compared the PSV of PCAs of the DR group after photocoagulation with the data before, there was a significant difference at 1d postoperatively(P<0.05), there was no significant difference at 7d, 1, 3 and 6mo(P>0.05).Compared the aA and bA of ERG of the DR group before and after photocoagulation to the data of the HC group, there was a significant difference(P<0.05).Compared the aA and bA of ERG of the DR group after photocoagulation with the data before, there was a significant difference(P<0.05).Compared the aT and bT of ERG of the DR group before and after photocoagulation to the data of the HC group, there was a significant difference(P<0.05);compared the aT and bT of ERG of the group DR after photocoagulation with the data before, there was no significant difference(P>0.05).The vision of 49 cases(98 eyes) was improved 1 to 3 rows, the effective rate was 82%.The vision of 11 cases(22 eyes) remained constant.CONCLUSION: Retinal laser photocoagulation is an effective treatment to diabetic retinopathy patients, which can significantly reduce the peak systolic velocity of the central retinal artery, improve and stabilize the condition, protect visual function in long-term clinical effect.Color doppler flow imaging can observe the changes of ocular vessel flow velocity in diabetic` eyes noninvasively, repeatedly and in real time, providing a basis for clinical treatments.

We describe two cases in which a forceps imprintdeveloped in the AcrySof ReSTOR IOL optic whileinserting these IOLs into the cartridge with straightclamping forceps. In case 1 ,the AcrySof ReSTOR IOL wasexplanted and observed under scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM). The SEM showed that the stepdesign of ReSTOR Multifocal IOL was well maintained. Incase 2, visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and wavefrontmeasurements were performed and no specific changeswere found. Strong evidence does not exist that suggeststhe on-axis forceps imprint can significantly compromisevisual acuity.

The identity of higher-order neurons and circuits playing an associative role to control renal function is notwell understood.We identified specific neural populations of rostral elements of brain regions that project multisynaptically to the kidneys in 3~ days after injecting a retrograde tracer pseudorabies virus (PRV)-614 into kidney of 13 adult male C57BL/6J strain mice.PRV-614 infected neurons were detected in a number of mesencephalic (e.g.central amygdala nucleus),telencephalic regions and motor cortex.These divisions included the preoptic area (POA),dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH),lateral hypothalamus,arcuate nucleus (Arc),suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN),periventricular hypothalamus (PeH),and rostral and caudal subdivision of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN).PRV-614/Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) double-labeled cells were found within DMH,Arc,SCN,PeH,PVN,the anterodorsal and medial POA.A subset of neurons in PVN that participated in regulating sympathetic outflow to kidney was catecholaminergic or serotonergic.PRV-614 infected neurons within the PVN also contained arginine vasopressin or oxytocin.These data demonstrate the rostral elements of brain innervate the kidney by the neuroanatomical circuitry.

Objective To investigate the trend of antimicrobial resistance and the prevalence of resistant genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from Hangzhou First People's Hospital.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibilities of 1489 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from 2003 to 2007 were statistically analyzed using WHONET.MICs of 11 antimicrobisis to 36 multi-drug-resistant Pseudomonas aerugionosa strains were determined by agar dilution method.Genes of β-lactamases(BLA)and aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes(AMEs)were detected by PCR and the PCR products were sequenced.Results The resistant rates to aztreonam,imipenem,ceftazidime,cefepime,piperacillin,piperacillin/tazobactam.cefoperazone/sulbactam,ciprofloxacin,levofloxacin,gentamicin and amikacin were increased from 13.4%,10.6%,8.7%,7.9%,12.7%,12.7%,6.7%, 15.8%,20.5%,24.7% and 10.9%in 2003 to 35.3%,40.9%,18.4%, 32.4%,32.9%,32.0%,21.9%,37.8%,38.6%, 39.4% and 34.8% in 2007.respectively.Hish MICs of 11 antimicrobiMs for multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aerouginosa were determined with MIC90≥128 μg/mL.In 36 multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains,21(58.3%)strains carried β-lactamase genes and 32 strains(88.9%)carried aminoglycosidemodifying enzyme genes,while the deletion rate of oprD2 was 80.6%(29/36).Conclusions The resistant rates to common antibiotics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa have increased.resulting in multi-drug resistance.Genes of β-lactamases and aminoglycoside-medifying enzymes are prevalent in multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains,with the common deletion of oprD2.
