Objective To investigate the incidence of the common respiratory viruses in children with respiratory tract infection and to compare the results among different ages and to analyze the relationship between wheezing of children and various viruses.Methods Nasopharyngeal secretions of 618 children with respiratory infection hospitalized were assayed for 7 respiratory viruses, including respiratory syncytial virus ,adenovirus, influenza A virus, influenza B virus, parainfluenza virus Ⅰ 、 Ⅱ、 Ⅲ.Results (1) A total of 166 cases, affected with viral etiology,were detected in 618 samples,and the total positive rate was 26.86%.The most common virus was RSV (17.96%), followed by PIV Ⅲ (5.99%), IFA (1.62%), ADV (0.81%), PIV Ⅰ (0.49%).Moreover, 1 case infected with RSV and PIVⅠ was included, with the positive rate 0.16%.(2)The positive rates were different in various ages, with 14d ~ < 1-year 35.04%, 1 ~ < 3-year 18.25%, 3 ~ < 6-year 17.11% and ≥ 6-year 9.26%.(3) There were differences of positive rate of viruses among different respiratory infectious diseases, and capillary bronchitis occupied the highest percentage(47.37%).(4)Among all the detected children, infants were more likely to whee in auscultation of lung, and RSV was the primary etiology.Conclusion RSV,which was the primary viral etiology in children with wheezing, was the most common virus leading to respiratory infection of children, followed by PIV Ⅲ.In the children with respiratory tract infection, the viral infection tends to occur in younger children.
2.Progress of the protective mechanism of vitamin D on chronic kidney disease
International Journal of Pediatrics 2021;48(4):276-279
1,25(OH) 2 vitamin D 3 is the most effective status of vitamin D in the body.It will play a biological active role when it combines with the receptor of vitamin D. It is common in the chronic kidney disease patients who are lack of vitamin D. The research finds that among the chronic kidney disease patients, in addition to the classic role of vitamin D in regulating calcium and phosphorus metabolism, it can also protect the kidney and delay the progress of chronic kidney disease by blocking the renin-angiotensin system, inhibiting inflammation, reducing podocyte damage and delaying renal fibrosis, etc.This article summarizes the protection mechanism of Vitamin D in the chronic kidney diseases.

Academic Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University 2009;21(3):209-211
Objective: To explore the significance of union examination of blood serum liver cancer tracers in the early diagnosis of liver cancer. Methods: We observed and compared the level of blood serum liver cancer tracers armor embryo protein (AFP), crag algae glycosidase (AFU), armor embryo protein heteroplasmon (AFPL3) and γ-Gu Anxian transferase (γ-GT) in early time for primary liver cancer patients and hepatitis liver cirrhosis patients and those chronic hepatitis B patients who had liver cancer family history. Results: Finally among the 30 patients in the early liver cancer group, 23 were positive with AFP, 20 with AFU, 15 with AFPL3 and 21 with γ-GT. Five were found positive with blood serum AFP, AFPL3, AFU and γ-GT at the same time; 5 with AFP, AFPL3 and γ-GT, 5 with AFP, AFU and AFPL3; 7 with AFP, AFU and γ-GT. By contrast, in the control group, among the 30 hepatitis liver cirrhosis patients and those chronic hepatitis B patients with liver cancer family history, 11 were found positive with AFP, 3 with AFPL3, 12 with AFU and 14 with γ-GT. None of the patients were found positive with union examination of AFP, AFPL3, AFU and γ-GT in the blood serum at the same time. Conclusion: The union examination of AFP, AFU, AFPL3 and γ-GT is significant to the early diagnosis of primary liver cancer.

Objective To investigate cadmium induced adaptive responses (AR) to either toxicant challenge or irradiation and also the role of PI3K family in the AR. Methods Cells were pre-treated with 0.1 or 1 μmol/L cadmium and then challenged by 50, 100 μmol/L cadmium or 1, 2 Gy γ-rays irradiation. Micronucleus induction was measured to evaluate the magnitude of AR. In some experiments, cells were treated with wortmannin during and after pretreatment. Results Cadmium of sub-lethal concentration could induce AR in all the cells toward 50 μmol/L cadmium or 1 Gy irradiation. When challenged by 50 μmol/L CdCl1, EM-C11 cells had an AR less apparent than the other two cell lines. Moreover, treatment of cells with wortmannin eliminated the AR in all three cell lines. Conclusions The magnitudes of AR in adapted cells may be related to multiple factors, such as DNA repair capacity, the priming and challenging dose of cadmium or irradiation. SSB rather than DSB repair is mainly involved in the cadmium induced AR and this cellular response may be mediated through ATM pathway.

OBJECTIVE To explore the method of replacing nasal packing after septoplasty. METHODS A total of 158 patients who had undergone septoplasty were included in this study. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups: packing group and suturing group. Postoperative signs and symptoms were compared between the two groups by visual analogue scale(VAS). RESULTS The patients of packing group experienced significantly more postoperative nasal pain, headache, epiphora, tinnitus/ear fullness, sleep disturbance after surgery(all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between two groups in terms of nasal congestion, hemorrhage, septal hematoma, nasal septum perforation and local infection(all P>0.05). CONCLUSION Nasal septum continuous suture is a simple technique to decrease patients' suffering. It does not increase the complications and is a feasible method to replace nasal packing after septoplasty.

Objective To explore the ultrasonographic, clinical and histopathological characteristics features of primary uterus lymphoma. Methods The clinical, sonographic and histopathological characteristics of nine patients who were pathologically comfirmed as primary uterus lymphoma were analyzed. Results Among the nine cases of primary uterus lymphoma, three lesions were found in the uterine bodys and 6 were found in the cervixes. Two patients with uterine body lymphoma had painless pelvic masses and six patients with cervix lymphoma had contact bleeding, including irregular vaginal bleeding in four patients. In sonograms, six lesions showed remarkable hypoechogenicity with homogeneous internal echogenicity;the margins of most lesions were circumcribed;all lesions had posterior enhancement. In color Doppler lfow imaging, abundant vascularities were detected in eight lesions. In the cases of uterine body lymphoma, all of the uterine bodys showed diffuse symmetrical enlargement without disruption of the endometria, while in ifve cases of cervix lymphoma, the tumors showed the shape of lobule. The pathological examination showed that all tumors were diffuse B-cell type non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Conclusions Primary uterus lymphoma has some clinical and ultrasonic features, including contact bleeding or irrgular vaginal bleeding, diffuse symmetrical enlargement of uterine body, complete endometria, remarkable hypoechogenicity, homogeneous echogenicity and posterior enhancement. Final diagnosis depends on the histopathology.
