0.05) and the cost-effectiveness ratios were 1 898.85 and 1 599.81,respectively.CONCLUSION:Levoflocaxin is superior to cefoperazone sodium/sulbactam sodium for community acquired pneumonia.

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a devastating vasculitis of the aorta and its major branches,coronary and pulmonary arteries.The clinical manifestations in children are less specific than in adnlts:the disease in children presents with fever,arthralgias,vomiting,weight loss and hypertension.Conventional angiography,which is recognized as the golden standard in evaluating vascular lesions in TA,combined with computer tomography angiography (CTA),magnetic resonance angiography (MRA),ultrasonography,could not only provide important information for early diagnosis,but also detect disease activity.New immunosuppressive agents and biological therapies,such as TNF-a blocking agents,have been verified to be effective although corticosteroids and conventional immunosuppressive agents are still basic treatment.

Objective To develop a lossless compression algorithm applied on the MCU.Methods Direct difference data compression and 2-4-8 three-word-length coding data compression based on the first order difference were developed.Statistics on the results of the first order difference of ECG data in the MIT_BIH ECG database resulted in an optimal three-word-length code table.Results Direct difference data compression ratio was lower than 2,and three-word-length data compression ratio was around 3.Conclusion There are both advantages and disadvantages in two types of lossless data compression,but three-word-length data compression is superior to direct difference data compression.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2008,29(2):24-27]

To explore the detection of GNAS1 gene mutation from peripheral blood and non-involved bone marrow in patients with fibrous dysplasia of bone(FD). Both peripheral blood and non-involved bone marrow collected from six FD patients were used for genetic diagnosis by next generation sequencing and direct sequencing respectively. Two patients were found to have common gene mutation(positive) by next generation sequencing, accounting for 33.3% of total six people: p.R201H(CGT>CAT) was detected in both peripheral blood and bone marrow of patient No.3, and p.R201C(CGT>TGT) was detected in both tissues of patient No.6. While direct sequencing only found p.R201H(CGT>CAT) mutation in peripheral blood and bone marrow of patient No.3. Detection of GNAS1 gene mutation may contribute to the diagnosis of FD. Hot spot mutations of GNAS1 are present in peripheral blood and non-involved bone marrow samples from some Chinese FD patients, but the diagnostic value and sensitivity of GNAS1 gene mutation in non-involved tissues of FD patients is low by next generation sequencing or direct sequencing.

The evolutionarily conserved Notch family widely exists in vertebrates and invertebrates and plays crucial roles in several biological processes such as embryogenesis, cell proliferation, apoptosis, as well as the differentiation and function of immune cell.Being different from Th1 and Th2 cell subsets, Th17 cells are new subset of CD4+ T cells and can secrete many kinds of cytokines, such as IL-17, IL-17F, IL-21 and IL-22.Recently, Th17 cells are considered to play important roles in asthma, rheumatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and malignant tumor.This review focuses on the research progress of Notch signaling pathway and its regulatory roles on Th17 cells.

MicroRNA could participate in a variety of physiological and pathological processes via iden-tifying the target genes by their seed sequences and regulating gene expression at post-transcriptional level. Glo-merular mesangial cell is one of the most chief cells of the glomerulus and plays an important role in the renal fi-brosis. The mesangial cellular proliferation and dysfunction may appear once attacked by pathogenic factors. Then,the extracellular matrix increases in the stimulation of inflammatory cytokines,eventually,resulting in glo-merular sclerosis and renal fibrosis. Reports have shown that series of microRNA could take part in the process of injury of mesangial cells and lead to renal fibrosis. MicroRNA could be a potential therapeutic target for early chronic kidney diseases.

Objective To establish the quality standard for mongolian medicine Rhaponticum uniflorum (L.) DC. with modern analysis methods. Methods Chlorogenic acid and apigenin were identified by thin -layer chromatography (TLC). The chlorogenic acid content was determined by high performance liquid chromatograghy ( HPLC). And HPLC was performed on Kromat Universil C18 ( 4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm) with methanol-water-acetic acid ( v/v/v, 15:85:0.85) as mobile phase, the detection wavelength was 326 nm, the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min, and the column temperature was 20℃. Results The samples and the reference substance shared the same color spots at the same sites. The linear range of chlorogenic acid was 0.044 66-0.446 6μg (r=0.999 8), and the average recovery rate was 99.84%. Conclusion The method is simple, accurate, and with good reproducibility, and can be used for the quality control of Rhaponticum uniflorum ( L. ) DC.

As a kind of mineral medicine containing mercury, the toxicity of Cinnabaris has always been controversial. In recent years, along with the increasing reports and studies on Cinnabaris, it has been found that although the toxicity of Cinnabaris has effects on multi-systems, the main effect is on nervous system. In order to clarify Cinnabaris neurotoxicity and reduce its damage for nervous lesion caused in clinical application, this article made a thorough analysis on symptom expression and mechanism of Cinnabaris neurotoxicity and put forward corresponding countermeasures.

Objective: To explore change of heart rate turbulence (HRT) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and its predictive value. Methods: A total of 58 CAD patients were regard as CAD group. The 50 normal persons with negative CAG were regard as normal control group. All subjects received 24h dynamic ECG, CAG and echocardiography examination. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and HRT indexes were compared between two groups. Results: Compared with normal control group, there was significant rise in turbulence onset [TO, (-1.34±1.09)% vs. (2.32±0.60)%] and significant reduction in turbulence slope [TS, (11.14±2.27) ms/RR vs. (3.44±0.60)ms/RR] in CAD group, P<0.01 both; in CAD group, along with coronary artery lesion aggravated (single-, double-, multi-vessel coronary disease), there was significant rise in TO [(1.35±0.52)% vs. (2.56±0.83)% vs. (3.01±1.62)%] and significant reduction in TS [(6.49±1.79) ms/RR vs. (3.33±1.02) ms/RR vs. (1.66±0.30) ms/RR], the difference was significant in two-two comparison among all groups, P<0.05 or <0.01; compared with CAD without cardiac event group, there was significant rise in TO [(1.68±0.61)% vs. (2.24±0.24)%], and significant reduction in TS [(5.87±1.22) ms/RR vs. (1.65±0.23) ms/RR] and LVEF[(66.18±2.64)% vs. (56.36±3.34)%] in CAD with cardiac event group, P<0.01 all. Conclusion: Weakened HRT phenomenon exists in CAD patients. HRT can be treated as an index evaluating severity of CAD patients’ condition and an effective predicting index for recurrent cardiac events in CAD patients.
