Objective To explore the efficacy of fluconazole mouthwash by means of oxygen-driven atomizing inhalation for treating the pediatric oral fungal infections. Methods A total of 60 cases of child patient from the department of Pediatrics of Jiaozhou People's Hospital have been selected and divided into control group and test group with 30 cases for each group by the method of random number table. The sodium bicarbonate solutions as well as the fluconazole capsules were used for the two groups of children patients. Everyday there were five doses of sodium bicarbonate solution as follows:one after getting up in the morning, one after breakfast/lunch/dinner, and one before bedtime by gargling for three minutes followed by spitting. Daily dose of fluconazole capsules was 3 mg/kg, with 50 ml of NS added for preparing a solution of 1-3 mg/ml. Differences between the two groups are as follows. The control group used the traditional method of gargling. The prepared fluconazole solution was divided into five doses for gargling followed by swallowing which were carried out two hours after the sodium bicarbonate solution. The test group used the oxygen-driven atomizing inhalation therapy. The intervals with the sodium bicarbonate solution were two hours. Before the oxygen-driven atomizing inhalation therapy, the children patients had gargled with water to remove the food debris inside the mouth. Next, the daily dose was divided into five doses to be added into the nebulizers for carrying out the oxygen-driven atomizing inhalation therapy focusing on the exposed ulcer areas. The difference in healing time of oral fungal infection of different position and degree between both groups of child patient has been observed. Results The healing time of oral mucositis at different position of both groups has been compared with each other, with the exception of gingival position, the healing time of child patients in test group at the position of cheek, palate, tongue, pharynx, lips and so on was respectively (6.67±1.68) d, (6.38±1.80) d, (6.36±1.96) d, (6.50±1.60) d and (5.00±0.82) d, which were all better than that of the control group, which was (8.13 ± 2.13) d,(8.00 ± 2.14) d,(8.23 ± 2.13) d, (8.67 ± 1.75) d and (7.20 ± 1.48) d, the difference between both groups was statistically significant(t=2.14-2.64, P<0.05);the healing time of child patients in test group with a degree ranging from I to IV was respectively (5.10±0.88) d, (7.92±1.32) d,(8.00±1.00 )d and (10.25±0.96)d,which were all better than that of the control group, which was(6.36±0.81)d,(9.00±1.29) d,(10.33 ± 0.58)d and(12.33 ± 0.58)d,the difference between both groups was statistically significant(t=2.10-3.50,P<0.05). Conclusions It's suitable for oral care of children patients if we replace the fluconazole mouthwash with the oxygen-driven atomizing inhalation therapy which can reduce the severity of oral mucositis and shorten the healing time.

FOXO3a is an important member of the forkhead box family. The expression of FOXO3a is correlated with cell transformation, tumor development and angiogenesis. FOXO3a inhibited tumor cell growth and progression through upregulation of the expression of Bim, p27Kip1 and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). The activation of FOXO3a is modulated by Akt, I?K? and oxidative stress. It has been demonstrated that FOXO3a was closely related to some generally accepted prognostic factors. Therefore, FOXO3a may become a new prognostic factor of breast cancer. This review focused on the structure of FOXO3a, the role of FOXO3a expression on breast cancer and the relationship between FOXO3a and the generally accepted prognostic factor of breast cancer.

To observe the clinical efficacy of nicorandil for treating the patient with cardiac syndrome X (CSX) and its impact on vascular endothelial function. Methods: A total of 140 CSX patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: Control group, the patients received conventional anti-angina therapy and Nicorandil group, based on conventional anti-angina therapy, the patients received additional oral nicorandil treatment. n=70 in each group. All patients received resting emission computed tomography (ECT) and treadmill exercise ECG stress test (TET). Blood levels of endothelin (ET-1), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and nitric oxide (NO) were examined before and 3 months after treatment. Results: Compared with pre-treatment condition, the attack frequency of angina pectoris and positive rate of ECT were decreased after treatment in both groups, P<0.05; in Nicorandil group, the suspicious positive rate and positive rate of TET were reduced after treatment, P<0.05. Compared with Control group, Nicorandil group had the much lower suspicious positive rate and positive rate of TET after treatment, P<0.05. Blood tests indicated that compared with pre-treatment condition, ET-1 and hs-CRP were decreased, NO was increased after treatment in both groups, all P<0.05; blood levels of ET-1, hs-CRP and NO were different between 2 groups after treatment, all P<0.05. Conclusion: Nicorandil could inhibit inflammatory factors, elevate endothelial function and therefore improve micro vascular angina symptoms, increase exercise tolerance obviously.

AIM: To study the effect of G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 5 (GRK5) on the activation of astrocytesin the brain cortex of newborn Wistar rats .METHODS: GRK5 gene was silenced in the model of rat brain cortexastrocytes in vitro for 24 h.N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is a known inhibitor of NF-κB, was added into the culture mediumaccording to gene silencing for 24 h.The expression levels of GFAP and caspase-3 were detected by the method of immunofluorescence,and the mRNA levels of NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1βand iNOS were determined by real-time PCR.Moreover,the activity of SOD and concentrations of TNF -αand NO were measured.RESULTS: GRK5 gene silencing increasedthe expression of NF-κB at mRNA and protein levels obviously (P <0.01), and the mRNA levels of IL-1βand iNOS increasedsynchronously (P <0.01).Furthermore, caspase-3-positive cells in GRK5 siRNA group were increased comparedwith control siRNA group (P <0.01).Treatment with NAC obviously reduced the activity of NF -κB and weakened theeffects induced by GRK5 siRNA (P <0.05).CONCLUSION: GRK5 siRNA increases NF-κB activity and induces the activationof astrocytes.

Objective To evaluate 99Tcm-MIBI imaging in patients with hyperparathyroidism and its correlation with serum intact PTH level. Methods Seventy patients with suspicious hyperparathyroidism underwent 99Tcm-MIBI imaging and serum intact PTH measurement. Abnormal increased uptake lesion appeared at early phase and even more clearly at delayed phase was considered as the positive by 99Tcm-MIBI imaging. A cut-off value of PTH ＞ 88 ng/L was taken as the criteria for hyperparathyroidism diagnosis. The diagnostic efficacy of 99Tcm-MIBI imaging combined with serum PTH measurement was assessed according to post-surgical histopathology or clinical follow-up. For those operated patients, Pearson correlation coefficient between serum PTH and the gland volume was calculated. Results Hyperparathyroidism was confirmed in 38 patients by histopathology (n = 36) or follow-up (n = 2). The overall diagnostic accuracy of 99Tcm-MIBI imaging was 90.0% (63/70), in which the accuracy was 80.0% (12/15) for patients with normal serum PTH and 92.7% (51/55) for those with elevated serum PTH. False positive 99Tcm-MIBI imaging were found in 3 patients with normal serum PTH. The diagnostic accuracy of abnormally high serum PTH combined with 99Tcm-MIBI imaging was 94.3% (66/70). There was a positive correlation between serum PTH level and the volume of pathologic parathyroid glands (r = 0.782, P ＜ 0.001 ). Conclusions Serum PTH measurement may help to improve the diagnostic accuracy of 99Tcm-MIBI imaging in patients with hyperparathyroidism.

This study aimed to analyze the etiology of the encephalitis outbreak in Longyan, Fujian Province, China in 2010, in order to provide valuable information for this prevention and control of this disease. Pathogens were confirmed from cerebrospinal fluid samples with fluorescent RT-PCR, virus isolation (RD cells), and neutralization tests. Then, the VP1 fragments or whole genome nucleotide sequences were determined for four virus strains using PCR. Homology was assessed using the MegAlign software, and a phylogenetic evolutionary tree was drawn using Mega 4.0 software. The results confirmed that the etiology of the outbreak was the ECHO6 intestinal virus, and the nucleotide sequence of the VP1 segment indicated that the C2 subtype was responsible. The genome sequence consisted of 7407 nucleotides, and resembled the genome of other ECHO and CoxB viruses with homology levels of 78.5%-87.3%. The encephalitis outbreak in Longyan in 2010 was caused by the ECHO6 C2 subtype intestinal virus, and its complete genome sequence length is similar to the standard strain (U16283) with a sequence homology of 80.4%.
