Objective To study disfunction of activated T cell from peripheral blood and explore its role on pathogenesis in patients with refractory mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP).Methods T cell subsets and expression of membrane molecule on activated T cell in peripheral blood were measured in 26 refractory MPP patients by using immunofluorescence and flowcytometry,and compared with those of 18 control healthy children.Results The percentage of CD4~+ cell from peripheral blood in refractory MPP children was significantly lower than that in control group(P0.05).Conclusions There are disfunctions of T cell in refractory MPP patients in acute period,and the abnormal T cell activated disfunction may play an important role on pathogenesis.

Objective:To observe the effects of effects of Xinfeng capsule(XFC) on platelet parameters(platelet count,thrombocytocrit,mean platelet volume,platelet distribution width) and on the serum levels of cytokines(IL-1?,TNF-?,IL-10) in adjuvant arthritis(AA) rats.Methods:40 SD masculine rats were averagely divided into groups of normal control,model control,XFC treatment,methotrexate(MTX) and tripterygium wilfordii polycoride tablet(TPT) alone,with 8 in each.Except for the rats of normal group,the others were intracutaneously injected with 0.1 ml of Freund′s complete adjuvant in the right hindlimb.The changes of platelet parameters (PLT,PCT,PDW,MPV) were observed by Sysmex XT-2000i automatic cytoanalyze and serum cytokines(IL-1?,TNF-?,IL-10)were analyzed with ELISA kit.Results:1.Compared with those of normal control,platelet count,thrombocytocrit,IL-1?、TNF-? of AA rats were obviously increased and IL-10 was obviously decreased in the model groups(P0.05).3.PLT and PCT of the rats were positively correlated with serum contents of IL-1? and TNF-?,as well as voix pedis′swelling and arthritis index(AI).In addition, IL-10 concentration in the serum was negatively correlated with PLT and PCT(P

Summary: Receptor mediated gene delivery is a new gene transfer strategy. Asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R), the receptor of asialoorosomucoid (Asor), is specially expressed on the surface of hepatocyte. In this paper, the nuclide 131I was combined with Asor to form a kind of soluble nuclide-protein complex, which can be specifically endocytosed into hepatocyte by ASGP-R. After intravenous injection of the complex into experimental animals, the deposition of Asor in vivo and the targeting quality of hepatocyte was detected by ECT. This research testified the feasibility of targeting Asor complex delivery to hepatocyte mediated by ASGP-R in vivo, and provided foundation for the genetic diagnosis and gene therapy of hepatic cell-related diseases.

OBJECTIVETo search for an optimum method for testicular prothesis implantation in the treatment of testis loss.

METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed the surgical methods and outcomes of 53 cases of terminal prostate cancer and 4 cases of unilateral testicular torsion treated by implantation of testicular prothesis with the polypropylene mesh.

RESULTSThe 57 male patients all received testicular prothesis with the polypropylene mesh. All the patients were satisfied with the appearance and size of the scrotum after surgery. No scrotal hematoma, prosthesis infection, or autoimmune disease occurred postoperatively.

CONCLUSIONTestis loss is not a rare condition clinically, for the treatment of which surgical implantation of testicular prothesis with the polypropylene mesh can achieve both a fine tissue compatibility and a desirable scrotal appearance.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of nutritional risk and perioperative nutritional support status in the gastrointestinal cancer surgical patients.Methods Adult inpatients from the gastrointestinal cancer surgery department of our hospital were consecutively enrolled from May to September 2010.Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 ( NRS 2002) was performed at admission,and data of the nutritional support and complications during hospitalization were collected.The relationship between nutritional risk and postoperative complications was analyzed.ResultsA total of 195 patients were eligible.At admission,43.6％ (85/195) patients were at riskOf the patients at risk,totally 11.7％ (10/85) patients received preoperative nutritional support,and 100％ (85/85) patients received postoperative nutritional support; of the patients not at risk,no patients received preoperative nutritional support,and 84.5％ (93/110) patients received postoperative nutritional support.The overall rates of postoperative complications were 19.1％ ( 13/68 ) in the patients at risk while 7.1％ (9/127 )in the patients not at risk ( P =0.02).ConclusionsNutritional risk in gastrointestinal cancer surgical patients was high.The application of nutritional support was inappropriate in these patients.The nutritional risk is associated with higher postoperative complications.Dissemination of evidence-based guidelines should be enhanced.

ObjectiveTo evaluate magnesium sulfate and compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte in bowel preparation before capsule endoscopy.MethodsA total of 81 patients were randomly divided into two groups.Group A (n =41 ) received compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte,and group B (n =40) received magnesium sulfate combined with compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte. Positive detection rate,intestinal preparation score,the incidence of capsule retention and solution quality,liver and kidney function were compared between those two groups.ResultsThe positive detection rates of capsule endoscopy were 65.9％ (27/41) in group A and 62.5％ (25/40) in group B,which were nonsignificantly different (x2 =0.099,P ＞ 0.05).The intestinal preparation scores of 19 patients in group A were ≤4 and those of 22 patients were ≥6,while those of 28 patients in group B were ≤4 and of 12 patients were ≥6,which were significantly different (x2 =4.653,P ＜ 0.05). The rates of capsule retention of group A and B were 2.4％( 1/41 ) and 5.0％ (2/40) respectively,which were not significantly different (x2 =0.372,P ＞ 0.05 ).Obvious abdominal pain,nausea or vomitting occurred in no patients of the two groups.There was no difference in electrolyte level or liver and kidney function between those two groups (P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionMagnesium sulfate combined with compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte is applicable for the bowel preparation before capsule endoscopy.

Aim To observe whether the activation of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 ( ALDH2 ) can protect a-gainst diabetes induced liver injury in rat model, and analyze the role of JNK pathway in the liver protection induced by activation of ALDH2 . Methods All male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: nor-mal control group ( Con ) , diabetes group ( DM ) and ethanol + diabetes group ( EtOH + DM ) . After 8 weeks, the fasting blood glucose ( FBG) level, glyco-sylated hemoglobin ( HbA1c) level, serum AST and ALT levels were measured. The changes of hepatic pa-thology were observed by hematoxylin and eosin ( HE) staining method. The protein expressions of ALDH2, JNK and p-JNK in liver tissue were measured. Result Compared with control group, in DM group, the lev-els of FBG and HbA1c, serum AST and ALT levels were increased significantly. The structure of liver mor-phology was destroyed, disarranged and unclear, the hepatocyte was swollen, and a large number of inflam-matory cells were infiltrated. ALDH2 protein expres-sion was decreased, while the expressions of JNK, p-JNK and the ratio of p-JNK/JNK were increased. Com-pared with DM group, in EtOH+DM group, the levels of FBG and HbA1c, serum AST and ALT levels were decreased. The expression of ALDH2 protein was in-creased, accompanying with the decrease of JNK, p-JNK protein expressions and the ratio of p-JNK/JNK. Conclusion Activation of ALDH2 can protect the liv-er against diabetes induced liver damage in rat model, which may be relevant with inhibiting the JNK path-way.
