Objective To explore the relationship between respiratory viruses infection and the episode of steroid responsive simple nephrotic syndrome(SRSNS).Methods Thirty-eight children with SRSNS were selected,including the active stage group(n=28)and the remission group(n=10).The urine from 18 cases of nephritic nephrosis,16 cases of bronchiolitis,15 cases of secondary glomerular diseases and 15 cases of healthy children were served as controls.By using the method of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and alkaline phosphoesterase-anti alkaline phosphoesterase enzyme-linked assay(APAAP),viral genes and antigens in urine were assayed,respectively.Results The positive rate of detecting viruses in the active stage group of SRSNS children was higher than that in the remission group and the other control groups(Pa

Objective To evaluate hepatic toxicity of arsenic trioxide(As 2O 3) on rabbits with hepatic Vx-2 carcinoma by transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), and its clinical signification. Methods New Zealand rabbits with hepatic Vx-2 carcinoma were managed with normal saline (experimental group 1), normal saline plus lipiodol (experimental group 2), and As 2O 3 plus lipiodol (experimental group 3) respectively by TACE once, whereas experimental group 4 was treated with As 2O 3 by transcatheter arterial infusion(TAI) for 7 days consecutively. The morphological changes of the tumor adjancent hepatic tissue were observed under light microscope and transmission electron microscope. The hepatic function of the rabbits was also determined. Results The hepatic cells of the rabbits in the experimental groups 2 and 3 were injuried in various degrees, but the injury extent was smaller than that in the experimental group 4 (P

Objective To investigate the perception of communication difficulties of children with hearing impairment and their parents.Methods Using the abbreviated profile of hearing aid benefit (APHAB),perception of communication difficulty in daily situations of the children with hearing impairment and their parents was measured,then the scores were compaired.Results There was no significant difference in perception of communication difficulty between the children and their parents.On problems on ease of communication(EC) and aversiveness(AV), there was difference in the perception of communication difficulty between the children who did not wear hearing aids and their parents.Conclusion It's critical to teach the parents knowledge about hearing loss to reduce their communication difficuty.

Objective To analyze the clinical and pathological features of Wegener granulomatosis (WG) in children in order to improve the understanding of this disease. Methods Nine cases of WG,including two cases from our hospital and seven cases throughout the country,were analyzed in aspects of their clinical characteristics,laboratory examinations,X-ray and treatments. Results Of the nine cases,six cases were male and three cases were female with average age of twelve years old. The average time from the initiation of clinical symptom to diagnosis was 8.3 months. Patients had multiple systems and organs involvements. Lung and kidney involvement were the most common. Six out of seven were positive in c-ANCA and anti-PR3 antibody. Biopsy was conducted in eight patients,and pathological manifestations involved parenchymal necrosis,granulomatosis,vasculitis and so on. Most patients improved significantly after being treated with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide. Conclusion WG is a syndrome which involves many organs without distinctive clinical manifestation. An ANCA test should be performed to make an early diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of lornoxicam on the.neurological behavior change and the expressions of growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) and nerve growth factor (NGF) in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) on the peripheral nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI) model of rats.Methods Fifty Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups:normal control group (n =5),CCI model group (CCI group),normal saline control group (NS group),and lomoxicam therapy group (L group) ; CCI,NS,and L groups were subdivided into 3 groups according to the different postoperative interval:3,7 and 14 days (n =5 each subgroup),respectively.The right sciatic nerve of rat was to be chronic constriction injure.Group L was given the rat 1.3 mg/kg of lomoxicam every 12 hours; then,the mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) of the rats of CCI,NS and L groups were measured at the different postoperative interval (3,7 and 14 days).After that,the DRG to the injured sciatic nerves were harvested.Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the expressions of GAP-43 and NGF.Results Comparing with the normal group,the latencies of MWT and TWL at CCI,NS and L groups were significantly declined at the third,seventh and fourteenth day after surgery (P ＜ 0.05),and the expressions of GAP-43 and NGF in DRG of CCI,NS and L groups were significantly increased after surgery (P ＜ 0.05).Comparing with the CCI group,the MWT and TWL of group L were significantly increased at the same time subgroup (P ＜ 0.05).The expressions of GAP-43 and NGF in DRG of group L were significantly declined at the same time subgroup (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Lornoxicam could relieve the symptoms of heat and mechanical hyperalgesia after sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury.It proved that lornoxicam was effective in the therapy of neuropathic pain.

The afsRS(cla) global regulatory genes from Streptomyces clavuligerus activate the production of two antibiotics in Streptomyces lividans. In this study, we gained an increase of 38% in the production of natamycin (3.56 g/L) in an industrial strain Streptomyces gilvosporeus TZ1401 through the integration of pHL851 that bears the afsRS(cla) global regulatory genes into its genome. We discovered by quantitive real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) that the expression of 6 genes of the natamycin biosynthetic gene cluster were improved from 1.9 to 2.7 times. This suggests that afsRS(cla) improve the production of natamycin through increased transcription. This study provides a good example for applying afsRS(cla) in high yield breeding of industrial antibiotic producers.

BACKGROUND:The incidence of open fracture of the elbow joint is increased rapidly with an increased number of accidents. Fractures are often accompanied by severe soft tissue injuries. At present, a combined therapy of autologous skin grafting, vacuum sealing drainage and external fixation for the treatment of open fractures has been widely reported. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics of the combined therapy of autologous skin grafting, vacuum sealing drainage, and external fixation for repair of complex and severe open fracture of the elbow joint. METHODS:A total of 41 patients with complex and severe open fracture of the elbow joint who received the combined therapy of autologous skin grafting, vacuum sealing drainage and external fixation during January 2009 to December 2013 in General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, China were selected. Al patients were treated with routine debridement, external fixation and vacuum sealing drainage to cover wound during the first period. During the second period, autologous skin grafting or flap transfer was used to repair wound when the fresh granulation tissue covered the wound. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The postoperative folow-up period of these 41 patients was 8-22 months, with an average period of 13 months. External fixation period was 8-13 months with an average period of 9.8 months. The open wounds were completely healed after autologous skin grafting or skin flaps transfer. Fractures were healed in 31 patients during the first period. There were 7 cases of delayed union, 3 cases of nonunion. Al fractures were completely healed during 8-12 months after iliac bone grafting. The excelent and good rate of limb function recovery was 73.1% among 41 patients with severe open fracture of the elbow joint. The limb function of Gustilo II patients better recovered. These results suggest that the clinical effect of the combined therapy of autologous skin grafting, vacuum sealing drainage and external fixation for the treatment of complex and severe open fractures of the elbow joint is satisfactory.

Objective: To compare the effects of bare-handed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and cardiopulmonary resuscitator in emergency treatment. Methods: A total of 185 patients received CPR in our hospital from 2013-01 to 2015-10 were enrolled. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Bare-handed CPR (Bare-handed ) group, n=101 and Cardiopulmonary resuscitator (Mechanical) group, n=84;meanwhile, taking 30 min as border time, each group was further divided as short time CPR subgroup and long time CPR subgroup. High quality CPR was conducted in all patients. The success rates, time and blood levels of lactic acid after CPR were compared among short time subgroup, long time subgroup between Bare-handed group and Mechanical group respectively. Results: For short time CPR patients, the success rates, time and blood levels of lactic acid after CPR were similar between Bare-handed group and Mechanical group; for long term CPR patients, the success rates and time were similar between Bare-handed group and Mechanical group, while blood levels of lactic acid after CPR in Mechanical group (6.88 ± 1.82) mmol/L was lower than Bare-handed group (9.39 ± 2.39) mmol/L, P<0.05. Conclusion: The success rates of bare-handed CPR and mechanical CPR were similar for emergency treatment, both methods were effective; while mechanical CPR may save the manual labor, achieve better metabolic result which should be recommended in clinical practice.
