		                        			Guided by the theory of "kidney generates marrow", the study elaborates the viewpoint that the route of Yin Heel Channel (阴跷脉) is consistent with the "kidney-marrow-brain" axis from the perspective of the circulation of the meridians and the relationship between the zang-fu organs. Accordingly, it is believed that disease of Yin Heel Channel and dysfunction of the "kidney-marrow-brain" axis are the core pathogenesis of children enuresis, and it is elaborated from the following three major aspects, firstly, insufficient kidney essence, dysfunction of the "kidney-marrow-brain" axis, secondly, disease of Yin Heel Channel and deficiency and cold in lower jiao, and thirdly, disease of Yin Heel Channel and loss of nourishment of Chong Vessel. It is proposed to use the mode of "firstly needle, secondly moxibustion, and lastly consolidation" to treat children enuresis. Needle is to adjust yin and yang, warm yang and tonify kidney, and wake up the brain and open the orifices. The acupoints in Yin Heel Channel such as Zhaohai (KI 6), Jiaoxin (KI 8) and confluence points of the eight extraordinary vessels such as Waiguan (TE 5), Zulinqi (GB 41) are used, together with Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (EX-HN 3), Guanyuan (CV 4), Qixue (KI 13), Dazhong (KI 4). Moxibustion is to reinforce healthy qi and warm yang, bank up the root and consolidate the original qi by moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8), Mingmen (GV 4), and Xuanshu (GV 5). Consolidation is to use acupoints application to consolidate the therapeutic effect, and Guanyuan (CV 4) & Pangguangshu (BL 28), Qihai (CV 6) & Zhishi (BL 52), and Shenque (CV 8) & Ciliao (BL 32) are commonly used as the three groups of acupoints to warm the kidney and stop collapse, regulate and tonify the qi and blood.

		                        			 OBJECTIVE: To explore the potential association between occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis induced by trichloroethylene( OMDT) and past infection,reactivation and recent infection of human herpesvirus 6( HHV6) and human cytomegalovirus( HCMV). METHODS: Twenty OMDT patients were recruited as case group by using judgment sampling method. Twenty healthy workers occupationally exposed to trichloroethylene for more than half a year were randomly selected as exposure group. Twenty healthy people with no exposure history to trichloroethylene were randomly selected as control group. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to qualitatively determine the titer of HHV6 and HCMV immunoglobulin( Ig) G,Ig M antibodies from serum samples of these subjects. The polymerase chain reaction was used to qualitatively detect HHV6 and HCMV DNA from whole blood DNA samples of these subjects. The differences of previous infection rate,reactivation rate and recent infection rate of HHV6 and HCMV among these three groups of patients with different clinical types of OMDT were analyzed. RESULTS: The prevalence of HHV6 and HCMV infection in the case group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant( 65. 5% vs 20. 0%,75. 0% vs15. 0%,P < 0. 017). The reactivation rate of HHV6 and HCMV in the case group was higher than that in the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant( P > 0. 017). The recent infection rate of HHV6 and HCMV in the case group was not significantly different from that in the control group( P > 0. 017). There was no significant difference in the past infection rate,reactivation rate and recent infection rate of HHV6 and HCMV between the exposure group and the control group( P > 0. 05),meanwhile in different clinical types of OMDT patients( P > 0. 05). CONCLUSION: OMDT may be associated with past infection of HHV6 and HCMV.

		                        			Objective To analyze the arrhythmia after treatment with recombinant human interleukin 11 (rhIL-11) because of down-regulating platelet in elderly patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and to investigate the possible mechanism of arrhythmia induced by in MDS patients. Methods The data of 2 MDS patients with arrhythmia after rhIL-11 therapy were analyzed retrospectively. The patients'hemoglobin, electrocardiogram (ECG), myocardial enzymes, cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnⅠ), N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) changes, as well as cardiac ultrasonography and Holter monitoring during arrhythmia were dynamically observed before and after use of rhIL-11, at the time of arrhythmia and restoring sinus rhythm after the withdrawal of rhIL-11. Results Before the use of rhIL-11, blood platelet count of patient 1 and patient 2 was 2×109/L and 3×109/L respectively. Arrhythmias occurred in the two patients at 11st and 14th days respectively. ECG showed atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate, and dynamic ECG monitoring showed that syncope was caused by sinus arrest due to cardiac cardiogenic syncope. Heart ultrasound prompted ejection fraction (EF) values in the normal range. Creatine kinase, creatine kinase isoenzymes, aspartate transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase, and cTnⅠ had no obvious increase or decrease after rhIL-11 treatment, but NT-proBNP was increased significantly. After discontinuation of rhIL-11 and diuretic treatment, no syncope occurred. ECG restored sinus rhythm, and NT-proBNP was decreased significantly. Conclusion rhIL-11 in elderly MDS patients may induce arrhythmia, which can be restored after drug withdrawal, limited sodium diet and diuretic treatment, but much attention should be paid to the heart-related symptoms and signs, dynamic monitoring of NT-proBNP and timely treatment.

		                        			Objective To construct a recombinant Escherichia coli ( E. coli) with surface-dis-played lead specific binding protein PbrR and to further study intestinal colonization by the recombinant bac-teria in mice and gastrointestinal tolerance of the bacterial surface-displayed PbrR. Methods Chimeric pro-tein Lpp-OmpA coding sequence was chemically synthesized and inserted into the expression vector pET-21a to construct the outer membrane display vector pLOA. PbrR coding sequence was also obtained by chemical-ly synthesis and inserted into pLOA to generate the outer membrane display plasmid pLOA-pbrr. E. coli BL21 (DE3)pLysS was transformed with pLOA-pbrr and induced by IPTG. The expressed recombinant proteins were analyzed by 15% SDS-PAGE and Western blot assay. Lead adsorption capacity of the cell surface-dis-played PbrR in the simulated intestinal juice and tolerance of the recombinant E. coli to simulated gastric juice were analyzed, respectively. KM mice were orally given the induced recombinant bacteria by gastric lavage for 7 consecutive days and then were continually fed until day 30. The contents of recombinant bacte-ria in stool samples were detected by dilution plate method on day 7, 15 and 30. The recombinant protein with His tag was detected by immunoblotting on day 7 and 15. Results Based on Lpp-OmpA, the PbrR outer membrane display vector was successfully constructed. The recombinant fusion protein Lpp-OmpA-PbrR-His tag was highly expressed in E. coli. The recombinant E. coli strains displaying PbrR on their outer membrane accumulated a significant level of Pb2+ in simulated intestinal juice. Moreover, those strains showed a tolerance to gastric acid in vitro and could colonize in the intestinal tracts of mice via oral infection. The surface-displayed recombinant fusion protein showed a better tolerance to the environment of digestive tract. Conclusion The recombinant E. coli strain displaying PbrR on its surface showed a stronger capabili-ty of lead accumulation from simulated intestinal environment and could colonize in the intestinal tracts of mice. The surface-displayed recombinant PbrR also showed a good tolerance to digestive juice. This study paved the way for further researches on the selective elimination of lead by biosorption based on animal mod-els.

		                        			Objective To study the feature of neonatal infections and characteristics of antibiotic treatment in a tertiary children ' s hospital. Methods Clinical data including incidence of infection, primary disease,species of bacteria, complication and antibiotic utilization in hospitalized patients from Jan. 2010 to Dec. 2012 were retrospectively reviewed using their medical records. Results Among 1826 patients admitted to neonetal surgery ward, 542 infants ( 29. 7%) were with infection. The incidence of antibiotic resistance was 23. 51%. The top five infectious diseases were:perianal abscess, necrotizing enterocolitis, colicitis, omphalitis and subcutaneous gangrene. 12 cases of multi-resistant infection were cured by non-restricted antibiotics. 109 were cured by restricted antibiotics. And other 7 were cured by special antibiotics. No death nor multi-resistant nosocomial infection were found. Risk factors including multi-site infection, premature or low birth weight infants, liver, kidney or heart dysfunction,fever lasting more than 3 days after antibiotic therapy, septic shock, sepsis, digestive tract perforation and peritonitis,were vital in choosing specific antibiotics. Conclusions Infection is one of the most common diseases in neonatal surgery ward, with major pathogens sensitive to antibiotics. The clinical characteristics and drug sensitive test are conductive to the reasonable use of antibiotics. Special antibiotics can be used directly in patients with risk factors Clinical doses of antibiotics in neonates depend on the monitoring of drug concentration.

		                        			Objective To investigate the clinical effect of nicorandil for treatment of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 40 cases of patients with ARDS admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital from October 2012 to October 2014 were enrolled, and they were randomly divided into two groups, 20 cases in each group. The two groups were treated with routine western medicine after admission. On this basis, the observation group was given nicorandil 10 mg, while the control group was given warm boiled water 10 mL, through gastric tubes 3 times a day, the therapeutic course being consecutive 5 days in both groups. The length of stay in intensive care unit (ICU), duration of mechanical ventilation after treatment, oxygenation index (OI), alveolo-arterial oxygen partial pressure difference (PA-aO2), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score, Glasgow coma score (GCS) before and after treatment, the predicted death rate (PDR) and 28-day mortality were compared between the two groups. The predicitive factors for 28-day mortality were screened by binary logistic analysis.Results The length of stay in ICU and duration of mechanical ventilation of control group were longer than those of observation group, but the difference was not statistically significant [ICU length of stay (day): 14.55±12.71 vs. 9.15±6.00, duration of mechanical ventilation (day): 13.25±12.27 vs. 7.75±5.32, bothP > 0.05]. After treatment, the GCS was higher than that before treatment in control group and observation group (11.95±3.98 vs. 10.75±4.89, 12.95±3.67 vs. 12.20±4.56), while APACHE Ⅱ score, PDR and PEEP were all lower than those before treatment [APACHE Ⅱ: 21.05±8.58 vs. 24.90±5.63, 18.70±11.21 vs. 26.65±7.67; PDR: (47.71±29.49)% vs. (61.00±23.29)%, (36.79±18.49)% vs. (56.12±18.16)%; PEEP (cmH2O, 1 cmH2O = 0.098 kPa): 4.40±3.14 vs. 5.75±2.59, 3.80±2.55 vs. 7.55±3.32], but there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups before and after treatment (allP > 0.05). After treatment, the OI was significantly higher and the PA-aO2 was significantly lower than those before treatment in the two groups, and the degrees of improvement of the observation group were more remarkable than those of the control group [OI (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 224.72±85.12 vs. 141.37±45.82, PA-aO2 (mmHg): 132.60±46.64 vs. 204.30±121.2, bothP < 0.05]. The 28-day mortality of observation group was lower than that of control group, but no statistically significant difference was seen [15% (3/20) vs. 25% (5/20),χ2 = 0.156,P > 0.05). Binary logistic regression analyses showed that the PA-aO2 [odds ratio (OR) = 0.958,P = 0.013, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.927 - 0.991], APACHE Ⅱ score (OR = 0.882,P = 0.010, 95CI = 0.803 - 0.970), GCS (OR = 1.399, P = 0.004, 95%CI = 1.111 - 1.761) and PDR (OR = 0.907,P = 0.002, 95%CI = 0.853 - 0.965) after treatment were the independent predictors of 28-day mortality.Conclusion Nicorandil can significantly improve oxygenation, but cannot reduce 28-day mortality in patients with ARDS.
