BACKGROUND:The electrocardiogram and hemodynamics are effective indicators for evaluation of cardiac function. It has been confirmed that aerobic exercise or bone marrow stem cel mobilization exert good effects on the electrocardiogram and hemodynamics of myocardial infarction animals, and their combination effects have not been reported. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise combined with bone marrow stem cel mobilization on the electrocardiogram and hemodynamics of myocardial ischemia aniamals. METHODS:Ligation of the rat left anterior descending coronary artery was done to make acute myocardial infarction models. Then, rats were divided into aerobic exercise, cel mobilization and combination group (aerobic exercise+cel mobilization). At 1 week after modeling, rats in the aerobic exercise group and combination group were subject to aerobic exercise in electric treadmil, 5 days per week, totaly 8 weeks. At 3 hours of modeling, the rats in the cel mobilization group and combination group were given subcutaneously normal saline-diluted recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor, 10 μg/(kg ? d), continuously for 5 days. After 8 weeks, electrocardiogram and part of hemodynamic indexes were detected for evaluation of cardiac function. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In rats with myocardial infarction, left ventricular systolic pressure and ±dp/dtmax were reduced significantly, but the left ventricular end diastolic pressure was increased, indicating cardiac insufficiency. An increase in left ventricular systolic pressure and ±dp/dtmax was found in the aerobic exercise and cel mobilization groups, but the left ventricular end diastolic pressure was decreased, indicating that both the aerobic exercise and bone marrow stem cel mobilization could improve the myocardial contraction and diastolic function. Rats in the combination group exhibited similar assessment indicators to normal control rats, indicating the combination of the aerobic exercise and bone marrow stem cel mobilization can strongly enhance the performance of myocardial contraction and myocardial systolic/diastolic functions are both improved significantly.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression and role of Interleukin-33 (IL-33) and ST2 in the nasal polyps of human Eosinophilic and non-Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ECRS and non-ECRS). METHOD: IL-33 and ST2 protein expression in nasal polyps of ECRS and non-ECRS as well as in seemingly normal mucosa of the inferior turbinate tissue was investigated by immunohistochemical staining and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of IL-33 and ST2 was assessed by realtime polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 27 subjects with ECRS, 33 subjects with non-ECRS, and 11 control subjects. RESULT: (1) The ST2 was found both in nasal polyps of ECRS and non-ECRS,especially in ECRS, yet hardly found in the normal mucosa of the inferior turbinate tissue; (2) The expression of ST2 mRNA in nasal polyps of ECRS was higher than that in non-ECRS and normal inferior turbinate tissue, and the difference was both prominent in statistics (P<0.01); (3) The expression patterns of IL-33 at both mRNA and protein levels were not significantly different among the three groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The IL-33 and its receptor ST2 were both expressed in human nasal polyps including ECRS and non-ECRS, meanwhile the expression patterns of ST2 at both mRNA and protein levels were significantly higher in nasal polyps of ECRS. The current study suggests that IL-33 and its receptor ST2 may play important roles in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, especially in ECRS through the increased expression of ST2 in Eosinophils as a hypothesis.

Objective To study the clinical features and treatment of multiple schwannomas (neurilemmomas). Methods 9 patients with multiple schwannomas treated with surgery from 1975 to 1999 were reviewed retrospectively. Results In 7 of the 9 cases of schwannomas, the number of tumor lesions was seen more than that diagnosed preoperatively. All the patients had surgical resection; 5 had enucleation and 4 had tumors excised with the invovled nerve. Recurrence occured in 4 patients. Conclusion Because of the difficulty in predetermination of the exact lesional number, thoroughly preoperative examination including MRI is nessesary. Enucleation is recommended to those tumors involving important nerves. There is a high rate of recurrence.

Objective The present study was undertaken to examine the regulatory effect of endogeous sulfur dioxide (SO2) on interleukins in rats with acute lung injury (ALI) induced by sepsis.Methods Twenty Two male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly (random number) divided into sham group (Control group),sham + SO2 donor (Na2SO3/NaHSO3,0.54 mmol/kg:0.18 mmol/kg) group (SO2 group),sepsis induced ALI group (sepsis group) and sepsis induced ALI with sulfur dioxide pretreatment group (sepsis + SO2 group).Index of quantitative assessment of histological lung injury (IQA),wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) and the level of SO2 in plasma were measured.IL 6,IL 8,IL 10,MCP-1 and TNF-α were measured by ELISA.Results The IQA score and W/D ratio of lung tissues significantly increased in sepsis rats compared with control group (all P ＜ 0.01),but significantly decreased in sulfur dioxide pretreatment rats compared with in sepsis rats (all P ＜0.01).The level of SO2 in plasma decreased in sepsis rats (3.17 ± 3.44) μmol/L compared with control group (5.87 ± 1.96) μmol/L,but significantly increased in sulfur dioxide pretreatment rats (9.78 ± 3.26) μmol/L compared with in sepsis rats (P ＜0.01).The level of IL 6,IL 8,IL 10,MCP-1 and TNF-α significantly increased in sepsis rats [(87.08 ± 22.03) pg/mg,(79.82 ± 19.69) pg/mg,(66.38 ± 21.77) pg/mg,(157.58 ± 42.36) pg/mg and (65.04 ± 19.42) pg/mg,respectively] compared with control group [(47.41±9.64) pg/mg,(42.25±8.16) pg/mg,(31.96±4.63) pg/mg,(67.65±10.18) pg/mg and (33.83 ± 5.75) pg/mg] (all P ＜ 0.01).but the level of IL 6,IL 8,IL 10 significantly decreased in sulfur dioxide pretreatment rats [(66.01 ± 16.52) pg/mg,(61.52 ± 18.32) pg/mg and (45.61 ± 16.47) pg/mg,respectively] compared with sepsis group (all P ＜ 0.05).The level of MCP-1 significantly decreased in sulfur dioxide pretreatment rats (117.86 ± 34.20) pg/mgcompared with sepsis group (all P ＜0.01).The level of TNF-α decreased in sulfur dioxide pretreatment rats (61.49 ± 15.33 pg/mg) compared with sepsis group.Conclusions These results suggested that exogenous SO2 could inhibit the pulmonary tissue inflammatory response by inhibiting MCP-1 and TNF-α in rats with sepsis induced ALI.

Objective To compare the image quality between large dose smart tracking technique and low dose test bolus technique for gem spectral CT pulmonary angiography(CTPA).Methods A total of 106 cases with suspected pulmonary embolism were divided into two groups.Group A(54 cases)was carried out with large dose smart tracking technique.Group B(52 cases)was carried out with low dose test bolus technique.We compared the image quality between the two groups.Results There were significant differences in the CT value of the right pulmonary artery and the content of iodine in the lower lobe of the right pulmonary artery of two groups(P<0.01).There was significant difference of image quality between the two groups(P<0.05).The rate of excellent or good image quality in group A was higher than that in group B,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Large dose smart tracking technique can track the artifacts of pulmonary artery imaging with less artifacts and uniform vascular fixation.The image quality of pulmonary artery imaging is better than that of small dose contrast agent.

This study was aimed to investigate the clinical effect and safety of Qing-Fei Jie-Du (QFJD) decoction on treating lobar pneumonia in children.Ninety cases of children diagnosed with lobar pneumonia in hospital were selected by double-centre,random and control method.Cases were divided into the test group (60 cases) and the control group (30 cases.The ratio between the test group and the control group was 2∶1.It can fully demonstrate the effect of the test group without any influence on the statistical analysis).Children of the control group were given conventional medicine with placebo,while children of the test group were given conventional medicine with modified QFJD decoction.The treatment course was 2 weeks.The clinical symptoms including fever,cough,lung rale,lung image (X-ray or CT scan),laboratorial index and safety were compared between two groups.The results showed that the recovery rate of the test group was 81.7％;and the recovery rate of the control group was 66.7％.The difference between them was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The comparison of safety between two groups indicated that the treatment of the test group was safer than control group with statistical difference (P＜0.05).It was concluded that modified QFJD decoction had a significant clinical effect and was very safe in the treatment of children with lobar pneumonia.

Objective To study the effect of Xiaoqinglong Decoction on the expression of TSLP in airway epithelial cells of asthmatic model mice.Methods Thirty healthy female BALB/C mice were divided into the blank control group,asthma model group and Xiaoqinglong Decoction group,10 cases in each group.The each group adopted corresponding intervention measures. Then the bronchial and lung tissues were taken.The expression level of bronchial TSLP was detected by immunofluorescence,and the expression level of TSLP mRNA and protein in lung tissue was detected by qRT-PCR and Western Blot.Results The mouse bronchial epithelial cell membrane TSLP staining was strongly positive in the asthma model group,which was weakly positive in the Xiaoqinglong Decoction group and negative in the blank control group.Compared with the asthma model group,mice lung tissue TSLP mRNA expression level in the Xiaoqinglong Decoction group and blank control group was decreased(P<0.05),the Xiaoqin-glong Decoction group was slightly higher than the blank control group,but the inter-group difference was not statistically signifi-cant(P>0.05).The expression level of lung tissue TSLP protein in the Xiaoqinglong Decoction group and blank control group was lower than that in the asthma model group(P<0.05),the Xiaoqinglong Decoction group was slightly higher than the blank control group,but the inter-group difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion Xiaoqinglong decoction has obvious inhibiting effect on the expression of TSLP in airway epithelial cells of asthmatic model mice.

Objective To characterise the alterations of serum autoantibodies for cyclinB1,p62,Koc-IMP1 and survivin in the subjects with esophgeal and gastric cardia carcinoma and precancerous lesion and their expres-sions in the esophageal and gastric cardia cancer tissue.Methods Enzyme-linked immunoassay and tumor-associated antigen mini-array (consisting of five full-length recombinant proteins,including eyefinB1-p62-Koc,IMP1 and Survivin)were applied to determine the serum level of the autoantibodies of these antigens on 376 subjects with e-sephageal and gastric cardia carcinoma and precancerous lesions.At the same time,the expression of these antigens was detected by immunohistochemical method(ABC)on 13 patients with esophageal cancer and 16 with gastric car-dia cancer.Results All of the 5 antigens determined,the linear correlation Was observed for the detection frequency of cyclinB1,IMPI and p62 in esophageal carcinogenesis,and for p62 in gastric cardia multi-stage progression from normal to precancerous and cancerous lesions(P<0.05).The detection rale with single positive antoantibody im-munoreactivity for both esophageal and gastric cardia cancers were low.However.the positive detection mte for both esophageal and gastric cardia cancer increased apparently when the multiple positive markers were combined together for analysis,which increased tO 3～5 and 3～4 folds respectively.Furthermore,the difference in autoantibody immu-noreactive rate was significant with the lesion progressed from mild tO severe precancerous lesions and to cancer both in esophageal and gastric cardia cancers(P<0.05).The positive immunoreactions of the 5 antigens were detected in cancer tissues.The positive immunostaining rates for cyclinB1,Koc,IMP1 and Survivin both in esophageal and gastric cardia cancers were higher compared to their serllin positive rate of autoantibodies I P<0.05).Of the pa-tients with positive immunostaining in the two cancer tissues,the autoantibodies in the serum for the corresponding antigens could be detected in the same patient.Conclusion The production of the tumor-associated autoantibodies is related tO antigens.The screening rate through serum tumor-associated antigen mini-array for the patients with e-sophageal and gastric cardia carcinoma and precancerous lesions has been increased apparently with combined analy-sis of multiple autoantibodies than with single one.
