Objective To explore the effect of azithromycin on the airway inflammation in children with bronchiolitis by detecting the se-rum concentration change of the eosinophile cationic protein(ECP),interleukin-8(IL-8) and nitrogen oxide(NO) in children.Methods One hundred and eighty-five cases of primary asthmatic attack with atopy subject were collected,and they were divided into 4 groups after asthmatic symptoms relived,group A oraled azithromycin,group B inhaled budesonide,group C oraled montelukast,and blank control was group D.The vein bloods were sampled on the first day in hospital,before and after medication,respectively when treatment of 3 months was completed.Serum concentration of ECP,IL-8 and NO were measured.They were followed up through clinic service and telephone analysis for 1 year.Analysis of all data was conduced with SPSS 15.0 sofware.Results The cases of asthma recurrence within 3 months and asthmatic recurrence within 1 year were no statistical difference between group A and group B,group C and group D,respectively.After 3 months intervention,there was significant difference of the serum concentration of ECP,IL-8 and NO at the 3 treatment groups compared with group D.There was no significant difference in decrease of ECP and NO in group A and group B,but decrease of ECP and NO in group C were significant compared with those in group A(Pa

Background Cardiomyocytes apoptosis was related to oxidative stress which has been shown to play an important role in ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction(MI).Probucol is a hypolipidemic and antioxidant agents.Several reports demonstrated its cardioprotective effect after MI.However,the exact effect of probucol on the modification of the apoptosis related gene Bcl-2 and Bax is not clear.Objective To investigate the effects of probucol on mRNA and protein expression of Bcl-2,Bax and oxidative stress in myocardial infarcted rats.Methods Forty-one SD rats that survived 24 h after ligating left anterior descending coronary artery were randomly to receive placebo-saline(5 mL/d,n=20)or probucol(probucol 60 mg/kg?d,n=21).Twelve rats underwent sham operation were served as control(n=12).Six weeks after treatment,hemodynamic pararmeters and left ventricular function were measured with catheterization.Cardiomyocytes apoptosis were determined by TUNEL method.Myocardium mRNA of Bcl-2 and Bax expression levels in the non-infarcted myocardium were as- sessed by RT-PCR.The myocardium protein expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in the non-infarcted myocardium were de- termined by Western blot.Colorimetry was used to determine oxidative metabolism index in myocardium.Results 1)Compared with the sham rats,all MI rats showed marked decrease in Bcl-2 mRNA and protein expression in myo- cardium with increase of Bax mRNA and protein expression and apoptosis index(P

Objective:To analyze the relationship between free androgen index and insulin function in obese young men aged from 20 to 35.Methods:A total of 82 young obese men in Obesity Clinic from February to October 2019 were enrolled in the study. The subjects were divided into 3 subgroups according to free androgen index level tertiles. The blood glucose and insulin levels were tested after oral glucose tolerance test. Homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), homeostasis model assessment for β cell function (HOMA-β), insulin secretion index, and insulin sensitivity index (Matsuda index) were used to evaluate β cell function in oder to analyze the relationship between free androgen index and insulin function.Results:In young obese men, participants with higher free androgen index levels exhibited less waist circumference, lower body mass index, 1 h postprandial insulin, 2 h postprandial insulin, HOMA-IR level but with a higher total testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin, and Matsuda index level (all P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between the free androgen index and the HOMA-IR ( r=-0.386, P=0.016), and the correlation tended to a linear trend after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, and waist circumference ( Ptrend=0.034). Free testosterone was positively correlated with Matsuda index ( r=0.280, P=0.004), but the correlation disappeared after adjustment ( Ptrend=0.623). The results of further regression analysis showed that the level of free testosterone index decreased by 14.1% ( OR=0.869, 95% CI0.767-0.984, P=0.028) for each increase of HOMA-IR after adjustment. Conclusion:The level of free testosterone index is a predictor of insulin resistance in obese young men, but the association between this parameter and insulin sensitivity may be caused by obesity.

Objective To make up an exercise prescription based on traditional Chinese medical training (EP-TCMT) for patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods Eighty-five pa- tients with stable COPD were randomly divided into a control group (CG group),a traditional Chinese medicine group ( TC group) and an exercise prescription group ( EP group).The patients in the TC and EP groups were giv- en intensive training for 8 weeks.Their 6 rain walk distance (6MWD) and Borg scale scores were assessed before and after the treatment.Results The 6MWD in the TC group increased from 337.68?59.18 m to 386.14?76.71 m,while those in the EP group improved from 348.00?55.94 m to 425.17?53.22 m.The Borg scale scores in the TC group decreased from 3.14?1.94 to 2.32?1.25,while those in the EP group declined from 3.45?1.84 to 1.72?0.70.Conclusion Making up EP-TCMTs is feasible.Additional treatment was found to improve exercise tolerance and decrease dyspnea in COPD patients.Exercise therapy based on traditional Chinese methods is easy and safe.

The applicator therapy is a unique method to treat infant diarrhea in traditional Chinese medicines and widely applied in clinical practice. Currently, many researchers have proved the rationality of the therapy based on the traditional Chinese medicine mechanism and on the data from clinical practice, but its action mechanism is uncertain at present. In this study, with the assistance of pediatric practitioners, the automated ribosomal intergenic-spacer analysis (ARISA) was adopted to study the effect of the adjuvant therapy with Dingguier umbilical paste on intestinal flora of diarrhea infants, in which Dingguier umbilical paste served as the adjuvant therapy in oral traditional Chinese medicines and fecal samples of infants with different diarrhea symptoms were collected and used as the study materials. The results showed that the adjuvant therapy had a significant effect on the shift of intestinal flora, which was associated with the decrease in the similarity difference to the normal control group and the increase in the number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) shared with the normal control group. Additionally, adjuvant therapy with Dingguier umbilical paste also showed long action duration and increased OTUs number. These results indicated that Dingguier umbilical paste has the effect in restoring the micro-ecosystem of unbalanced intestinal bacteria. Intestinal flora may be one of major targets for the applicator therapy for the infant diarrhea, but not for the single oral traditional Chinese medicine for infant diarrhea.

Objective To analyze our clinical results of head and neck reconstruction using microsur- gical free flap transfer techniques.Methods The free flap donor sites with long vascular pedicle and large diameter of vessel were routinely chosed,and chose receipt vessels with large diameter and proper position, and perform vessel ananstomosis under surgical loups instead of microscope.The un-buried free flap with a mo- nitoring window were harvest,and do double venous anastomoses in some flaps to ensure adequate venous out- flow.Results From May 1999 to March 2005,1066 consecutive free flap transfers were used to reconstruct head and neck defects.The overall success rate of free flap was 98.3%.The vessel thrombosis rate was 3.1%,and the flap salvage rate was 45.5%.Conclusion Head and neck reconstruetion using microsurgi- cal free flap transfer technique is safe and reliable,and good clinical results can be obtained.

Objective To evaluate lipid profile and its relationship with body mass index (BMI)in 4784 elderly male subjects. To explore the possibility of using an improvemem of dyslipidemia as an alternative target in the weight control in elderly male population. Methods 4784 elderly male subjects were surveyed with, the measurement of blood lipids and were grouped according to age (60-69, 70-79, 80-96 yrs) and BMI (＜18.5, 18.5-23.9, 24.0-27.9, ≥28.0 kg/m2), respectively.Results The mean levels of TC, LDL-C, TG and HDL-C (mmol/L) were (5.1±0.9)mmol/L,( 3.0±0. 8)mmol/L, (1.5±1.0)mmol/L and (1.3±0. 3)mmol/L, respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 44.8% (2141 cases) in this population, with specific abnormality rates in TC,LDLC, TG, HDL-C being 10. 4% (497 cases), 9.3% (445 cases), 29.8% (1425 cases) and 19.4% (928cases), respectively. Within all age groups, TG decreased dramatically and HDL-C incre ased with increasing age (P＜0.01), while the 60-69 yrs age group versus other age groups showed a tendency to an increment of TG, and a decrement of HDL-C. (P＜0. 05). Prevalences of overweight and obesity were 46.8% and 15.5% in the elderly male subjects, respectively. The level of TC increased with the increasing BMI, while HDL-C decreased. The differences in TG and LDL-C among various BMI groups were of no statistical significances. High TG and low HDL-C were predominant abnormalities amongst the oldest old, whose lipid profile resembled that of the 70-79 yrs age group.Whilst, the prevalences of overweight and obesity were at the lowest levels of 44.6% (228 cases) and 11.9% (61 cases), respectively. Conclusions High TG and low HDL-C are predominant abnormalities in elderly male subjects. TC level in the current population is higher than that from the national census in 2002. Prevalences of overweight and obesity are close to that in developed countries.TC and LDL-C levels are negatively related to age in the elderly male population, contrasting the correlation between HDL-C and age.
