Objective To establish a flow cytometric method for assay of platelet aggregation induced by shear stress(SIPA) and investigate its clinical value. Methods After the whole blood was subjected to a certain shear stress by a rotational viscometer, the platelets were activated and aggregated. Then the fluorescence antibody CD61 PerCP was added to stain the platelets. The free platelets and aggregates were counted respectively by flow cytometry, thereby the ratio of platelet aggregation was calculated. Results Shear stress-induced whole blood platelet aggregation varied with the increase of shear stress and time of stress. Only a small amount of platelet aggregation was detected at relatively low shear stress of 100S -1, and it was increased at 500S -1. However, a significant increase occurred with 2 000S -1. It approached to the maximum value (58.4%?5.3%) at 3 000S -1 with exposure of 3min, which was higher than the values at 100S -1(9.4%?1.3%)and 500S -1(26.4%?3.2%). At the same time, the aggregates increased in size and became more compact with increase in the shear stress and prolongation of time. High shear stress induced platelet aggregation(H-SIPA) was significantly enhanced in patients with AMI, cerebral infarction, TIA or diabetes, all of them were susceptible to coagulopathy, compared with normal control. Conclusion The results indicated that shear stress could induce platelet aggregation directly, and the degree of SIPA had positive correlation with the stress stength and exposure time.The measurement of H-SIPA was of some clinical value in the diagnosis of arterial thrombosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect,safety,and value of bronchofibroscopeguided bronchoalveolar lavage and topical antibiotics in the treatment of pediatric patients with severe pneumonia.Methods A total of 60 patients with severe pneumonia was randomly divided into two groups with 30 cases in each group.Patients in the control group were treated with conventional anti-infection therapy,while patients in the treatment group were treated with bronchofibroscope-guided bronchoalveolar lavage and topical antibiotics on the basis of conventional therapy.The sputum positive rate,clinical effect,hospital stays,treatment costs,and adverse reactions were compared to analyze its value.Results The total effective rate of treatment group was 93.3％,which was significantly higher than that (60.0％) in the control group (P ＜0.01).The sputum positive rate of treatment group was 80.0％,which was significantly higher than that (43.3％) in the control group (P ＜0.01).The hospital stays and the treatment costs of the treatment group were both significantly less than those in control group (P ＜0.01 orP ＜0.05).No serious complications were found in patients of the treatment group.Conclusions Bronchofibroscope-guided bronchoalveolar lavage and topical antibiotics in the treatment of pediatric patients with severe pneumonia show exactly clinical effects and significant improvement in dyspnea,which shortens the hospital stays,reduces the treatment costs,and has no seriously adverse reactions.Therefore,it is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective To explore the clinical and pandemic features and respiratory pathogen co-infection characteristics of children infected with influenza virus A (Flu A) in year 2009.Methods A retrospective study of hospitalized children with flu-like clinical symptoms in 2009 was conducted.The peripheral blood serum was analyzed to detect common respiratory agents,inclucding Flu A,respiratory syncytial virus,adenovirus,influenza virus B,parainfluenza virus 1,2 and 3,chlamydia pneumonia and mycoplasma pneumonia,klebsiella pneumonia (KP),haemophilus influenza and legionella pneumophila by using indirect immunofluorescence test for the antibody detection (IgM).And a standard medical history was recorded,including epidemiological data,clinical manifestation,and the length of hospital stay,white blood count and chest X-ray elsewhere.All specimens were collected in Department of Pediatrics,Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University,from Jan.2009 to Dec.2009.Results Flu A was detected in 234 of the 599 (39.1％,234/599 cases) flu-like children.The mean age was 48.8 months (range from 3 to 167 months).The detection rate in less than 1-year-old group (11.1％,18/162 cases) was obviously lower than that of the older groups (P ＜ O.001).Especially for the group ＜ 6 months,there was only 1 infant (1.43％,1/70 cases) with Flu A positive.Compared with Flu A negative group,the main clinical features of children with Flu A positive group were fever(78.2％,183/234 cases,P =0.013) and cough(76.5％,179/234 cases,P =0.04),however asthma (14.1％,33/234 cases,P =0.003)and diarrhea (6.0％,14/234 cases,P ＝ 0.001) cases were less.The detection rates of Flu A reached a peak of 57.0％ in November and December,and a secondary peak of 45.0％ in May and June.Flu A infection children less than 1 year old were simple in etiology.The children were older,the etiology was more complex.The primary coinfection pathogen was KP (53.8％,126/234 cases) and Flu B(48.3％,113/234 cases).Compared Flu A coinfection with or without KP,there was no difference between these 2 groups in the clinical features.Conclusions Intfluenza A is the main pathogen of hospitalized children with flu-like symptoms in 2009.Children over 1 year old age were the major infection groups of Flu A.The detection rates of Flu A reached peaks in May to June and November to December.Flu A positive children were prone to KP coinfection.

Objective To evaluate the difference between nodal and extra-nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in clinical-pathological feature and prognosis.Methods The clinical data of 134 cases of DLBCL patients were reviewed and analyzed.Results The DLBCL patients accounted for 52.14 ％ (134/257) of non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the same period and the extra-nodal DLBCL patients accounted for 69.4 ％.The proportion of stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ disease in extra-nodal DLBCL and nodal DLBCL were 55.9 ％ (52/93) and 75.6 ％(31/41),respectively.Elevated LDH was reported in 33.3 ％ (31/93) of extra-nodal DLBCL and 58.5 ％ (24/41)of nodal DLBCL Other clinical characteristics such as B symptoms,bulky disease,elevated ESR,ECOG scores and IPI scores were not significantly different between these two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).No difference in the frequency of GCB and non-GCB subtypes was observed between extra-nodal and nodal DLBCL (P =0.623).The 3-year overall survival rates and 3-year progression free survival rates for extra-nodal and nodal DLBCL were 73.2 ％,55.2 ％ (P =0.065) and 46.3 ％,44.1％ (P =0.748).Conclusions The morbidity of extranodal DLBCL is high.Primary extra-nodal DLBCL patients present early-stage disease and normal LDH more frequently than the nodal DLBCL,while no significant difference in the frequency of pathological subtypes and 3-year OS and PFS is observed between these two groups.

The Infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) and Taura syndrome virus (TSV) are two important shrimp viruses in cultured shrimp in America. These two viruses were transmitted to China at the beginning of the 21st century. In this study, 214 shrimp samples of Penaeus vannamei were collected from seven different areas of China and tested by PCR for IHHNV and TSV infection. The results showed that there were a high prevalence of IHHNV (65.42%) and low prevalence of TSV (3.27%) in the tested samples. Several samples were found to be co-infected with these two viruses. A 3 kb fragment of 7 positive IHHNV samples and a structure protein region (ORF2) of three TSV positive samples were amplified and sequenced. The sequence comparison indicated that both IHHNV and TSV sequenced in China have a low genetic variations compared with the prototype IHHNV and TSV from Hawaii. Phylogenetic analysis showed that TSV isolates were clustered into two groups, Asia and America group, which was genetically correlated to geographic distribution.
