Objective To evaluate the clinical value of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) level in asthmatic children to predict bronchial hyperresponsiveness by analyzing the correlation between fraction of exhaled nitric oxide and bronchial provocation test.Methods One hundred and fourteen asthma outpatients of Shengjing Hospital were enrolled, FeNO levels, spirometry and bronchial provocation test were measured.Results In the bronchial provocation test,there were 33 positive and 81 negative cases.The positive group had a significantly higher FeNO levels than the negative ones(19.0 × 10-9 vs.16.0 × 10-9 ,p =0.000).By the ROC curve, the best FeNO cut-off value to predict bronchial hyperresponsiveness was 38.5 × 10-9 with high specificity (92.6％) but relatively low sensitivity (36.4％).There was no relationship between methacholine provocative dose causing a 20％ fall in FEV1 (PD20-FEV1) and the level of FeNO.Conclusion FeNO level has important predicting value for bronchial hyperreactivity in children with asthma.The level of FeNO ＞ 38.5 × 10-9 has high predictive value in asthmatic children with bronchial hyperreactivity.

Objective To investigate the changes of the levels of interleukin(IL)-17 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of BALB/c mice infected by mycoplasma pneumonia (MP).Methods Sixtyfour BALB/c mice were randomly divided into two groups,normal group (n =32) and MP infected group (n =32).The BALF and lung tissue of two groups were collected after MP infection on day 3,7,14,21,each time 8.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the lung tissue.IL-17 content in BALF was detected by ELISA.Results The inflammatory changes of the lung tissue was the most obvious at 7 day,and had begun to subside at 14 day,disappeared at 21 day after MP infection.IL-17 levels in BALF were (53.783 ±2.218) pg/ml(3 day),(65.913 ± 10.693) pg/ml(7 day),(59.915 ± 8.085) pg/ml(14 day),(57.043 ± 11.997) pg/ml(21 day) in MP infection group,and (46.220 ± 3.260) pg/ml in normal group.BALF IL-17 content increased significantly in MP infection group compared with normal group(P ＜ 0.05).IL-17 content reached its peak on day 7 after MP infection (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion MP infection increased the level of IL-17 in the mice of BALF,reaching the peak on day 7.MP infection may be involved in airway inflammation in asthma through the IL-17 pathway.

Objective To investigate the alteration of the cytoskeleton of airway smooth muscle cells in young asthmatic rats with airway remodeling and the effect of RhoA/ROCK signal pathway.Methods Airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) were primary cultured and purified from Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats that were induced by ovalbumin (OVA) inhalation for 8w,then incubated by Pho kinase inhibitor Y27632.Real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),Western blot,and immunohistochemistry were used to measure the alteration of F-actin,and α-tubulin in the cytoskeleton of airway smooth muscle.Results (1) The asthma group showed a high average gray value of F-actin in ASMC than control groups,especially 8 weeks;and were significantly down in the group after adding Y27632(P ＜0.01).(2) The intension and intensity of fluorescence signal of α-tubulin in asthma groups in 8 weeks were higher than control greup(P ＜0.01),and were significantly decreased in Y27632 group.(3) A higher expression of α-tubulin protein was shown in the asthma group in 8 weeks relative to control group(P ＜0.01),and was significantly down-regulated in Y27632 group(P ＜0.05).Conclusions Alteration of the cytoskeleton of airway smooth muscle exists in young asthmatic rats and the RhoA/ROCK signal pathway possibly plays a significant role.

Objective To investigate the epidemiology of 10 000 patients with mammary gland disease.Methods 10 000 mammary gland disease cages during 1987～2006 in Yangquan Tumor Institute were collected,all patients had integrity case files and were diagnosed by molybdenum target radiography,near infrared ray,sonography,aspiration-needle biopsy or polyrrhea smear examination.Results In 8919 outpatient treated cases,7493 suffered cyclomastopathy(84%).1081 cases were inpatient cared(11%),the top five mammary gland disease are:breast cancer 342 cases,cyclomastopathy 252 cases,adenofibroma 104 cases,intraductal papilloma 86 cases and ductal ectasia 76 cages.For breast cancer patients,there were 125 cases during 1987～1996,3 were 21～30 years old and 23 were 31～40 years old.The number during 1997～2006 was 217,24 were 21～30 years old and 69 were 31～40 years old.Conclusion In 10000 cases,there are 7745 cyclomastopathy patients(77.45%)which takes the first place.Especially for 342(3.42%)breast cancer cases,the incidence grew up and patients age was much younger.

Objective To study the characteristics of pulmonary function in atypical asthmatic children with chest tightness or sighing breath as the sole presenting manifestation,and explore the diagnostic values of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) for the atypical asthma.Methods Seventy-nine atypical asthmatic children with chest tightness as the sole presenting manifestation during January 2012 to June 2015 were selected as subjects.All of the subjects performed spirometry,FeNO measurement,total serum IgE and specific IgE determination on their first visit,and with either positive bronchial provocation test or positive bronchial dilation test.As well as 100 healthy children who perfomred FeNO measurement were selected as control group during the same period.The pulmonary function data and FeNO values were analyzed in children who were finally confirmed as atypical asthma.Results In atypical asthma children,the abnormal rate of forced expiratory flow 50％,75％ (FEF50,FEF75) and maximum mid-expiratory flow (MMEF) were 27％,43％ and 33％.Methacholine provocation dose causing a 20％ fall in FEV1 (PD20-FEV1) were 0.41 (0.19 ～0.67)mg and were positively related with MMEF(r =0.301,P =0.007).FeNO concentration in atypical asthma patients were 13.0 × 10-9 (7.0 ×10-9 ～24.0 × 10-9),higher than that in control group(P ＜0.05).Significant correlations were found between FeNO and total serum IgE (r =0.672,P =0.001).No correlations were found between FeNO and FEV1 (P ＞0.05),between FeNO and FEV1/FVC％ (P ＞0.05) or between FeNO and PD20-FEV1 (P ＞0.05).The diagnostic values of FeNO for the atypical asthma were analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic curve,the area under the curve was 0.600.Conclusion The characteristics of pulmonary function in atypical asthma are hypofunction mainly in small airway and patients with lower MMEF had higher airway hyperresponsiveness.The diagnostic values of FeNO in atypical asthma are limited.

Objective To evaluate the association between fetal ventricular septal defects (VSD)and chromosomal abnormalities.Methods The 214 fetuses diagnosed VSD in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2008 to September 2011 were included.The VSD were categorized into 3 types:perimembranous,muscular and mixed (the defect could not be classified because the dimensions were larger than 5 mm) type.The perimembranous defect was subdivided into inlet and outlet subtypes.Complicated with other cardiac abnormalities/extracardiac abnornalities or not,the cases were divided into isolated VSD group,VSD complicating cardiac anomalies group (other cardiac and/or great vessels malformation),VSD complicating extracardiac anomalies group (include organ malformation and sonographic soft markers) and VSD with both cardiac and extracardiac anomalies group.G-banding chromosome analysis was advised for all cases.In cases that no karyotype was obtained,the phenotype of the newborns was examined by the pediatricians.And those appeared normal were defined as normal karyotype.Results (1) There were 134 (62.6％,134/214) perimembranous defects,including 91 (42.5％,91/214) inlet lesions and 43 (20.1％,43/214) outlet lesions.There were 35 (16.4％,35/214) muscular defects and 45 (21.0％,45/214) mixed type lesions.(2) Among the 214 VSD fetuses,46 (21.5％) were isolated VSD,34 (15.9％) were cases with other cardiac anomalies,87 (40.6％) were cases with extracardiac anomalies and 47 (22.0％) were cases with both cardiac and extracardiac anomalies.(3) The chromosomal karyotypes were obtained in 105 cases,and 21 cases were considered as normal according to the phenotype.Of all these 126 cases,46 (36.5％,46/126) had chromosomal abnormalities.(4) Inlet defects had the highest risk of chromosomal abnormalities (28/55,50.9％),while the muscular defects had the lowest risk (2/25,8.0％).The incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in outlet and mixed type was 33.3％ (9/27) and 7/19,respectively.The types of VSD were significantly correlated with chromosomal defects (P ＜ 0.01).(5) The incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in the 4 groups were 3.4％ (1/29),2/14,53.6％ (30/56) and 48.1％ (13/27),respectively.The risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the cases complicating extracardiac or both extracardiac and cardiac anomalies was significantly higher than the isolated VSD group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Fetal VSD had a highest risk of chromosomal abnormalities,especially the inlet type and VSD with extracardiac abnormalities,and then the fetal karyotype should be recommended.

Objective To investigate the effect of the asthmatic mice's contents of nuclear factorerythroid-2-related factor 2,Nrf2 and HO-1 reated with curcumin in lung tissue.Methods All 45 mice were divided into three teams randomly,the normal mice,the asthmatic mice and the curcumin mice group.We tested the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 of three mice teams in lung by immunolfluorescence technique.We tested the protein contents of Nrf2 and HO-1 of the three teams in the lung tissue by Western blot.We tested the binding activity of Nrff2 and ARE of the three teams in lung by EMSA.Results The expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in curcumin group was significantly higher than that in asthma group and normal control group by immunolfluorescence technique.There was no sigrnificant difference in content of cytoplasm Nrf2 protein in lung tissue between three groups by western blot(P ＞ 0.05).The content of nuclear Nrf2 and HO-1 protein in the lung tissue of the curcumin group was significantly higher than that in the other two groups,the difference is statistically significant (Nrf2,P ＜0.05;HO-1,P ＜0.01).The binding activity of Nrf2-ARE in lung tissue of curcumin group was significantly higher than that of asthma group and control group,with statistical significance(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Curcumin can increase the protein contents of the Nrf2 and HO-1 of mice and enhance the expression of them.

Objective To discuss how to preven wrong absorption of pancreatic pseudocyst using guided transmural drainage under endoscopic ultrasonography.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with pancreatic pseudocysts underwent operations of Endoscopic ultrasonography guided transmural drainage.Results 16 cases of pancreatic pseudocysts were finished with guided transmural drainage under endoscopic ultrasonography using needling to place bypass grafting with successful rate 100.0% of guided transmural drainage by needling. After needling, 2 cased happened regurgitation which led to wrongly absorbed, rate of occurrence is 12.5%. Generally, pancreatic pseudocysts of 16 cases disappeared completely with cure rate 100.0%. From above, stents were pulled out by endoscope in 3 cases while stents were removed voluntarily in another 13 cases.Conclusion Dorsal elevated position, detailed operation and esophageal annular tubes can effectively prevent wrong absorption of guided transmural drainage under endoscopic ultrasonography of pancreatic pseudocysts.

Objective To investigate the effect of the asthmatic mice's contents of NF-κB、IκB、p-IκB treated with curcumin.Methods Thirty Balb/c mice were divided into three groups randomly,the normal mice,the asthmatic mice and the curcumin mice.The bronchial hyperresponsiveness of the three groups were exanined by lung function.The NF-κB 、IκB 、p-IκB content of three teams were tested.Results The content of cytoplasm NF-κB in asthmatic mice was lower than the control (P ＜ 0.01).However,the content of cytoplasm NF-κB in curcumin team was more than the asthmatic mice (P ＜ 0.05).In the other hand,The content of nuclear NF-κB in asthmatic mice was more than the control(P ＜0.01).However,the content of nuclear NF-κB in curcumin mice was lower than the asthmatic mice (P ＜ 0.05).The content of cytoplasm p-hκB in asthmatic mice was more than the control and the content of IκB was lower than the control(P ＜ 0.01).Howerer,the content of IκB in curcumin team have much more than the asthmatic mice and the content of p-IκB have much lower than the control(P ＜ 0.01).Condusion Curcumin alleviates the airway hyperresponsiveness of the asthmatic mice through the suppression of NF-κB transcribe to the nuclear via alleviating the phosphorylation of I-κB.
