儿童哮喘血清中SP-A、SP-D、IL-8、IgE的水平变化及临床意义

目的探讨哮喘患儿血清中肺表面活性蛋白A、D(SP-A,SP-D)、白介素8(IL-8)、免疫球蛋白E(IgE)含量的变化及其分析研究。方法测定30例儿童哮喘急性发作期和缓解期的SP-A、SP-D、IL-8、IgE及同期健康儿童30例。结果急性发作期的SP-A、SP-D水平均显著低于对照组(P<0.01),IL-8、IgE水平均显著高于对照组(P<0.01);缓解期的SP-A、SP-D水平明显高于发作期(P<0.05),IL-8水平明显低于发作期(P<0.05),IgE水平与发作期相比差异无显著性(P>0.05)。结论儿童哮喘的发作虽然是多种病因引起,IL-8、IgE等在其中的病理生理、免疫病理改变有重要作用。证明SP-A、SP-D含量及功能改变与哮喘的发病、发展关系密切。     

Microstructure and Texture Evolution during Superplastic Deformation of SP700 Titanium Alloy

The superplastic tensile test was carried out on SP700 (Ti-4.5Al-3V-2Mo-2Fe) titanium alloy sheet at 760 °C by the method of maximum m value, and the microstructure characteristics were investigated to understand the deformation mechanism. The results indicated that the examined alloy showed an extremely fine grain size of ~1.3 μm and an excellent superplasticity with fracture elongation of up to 3000%. The grain size and the volume fraction of the β phase increased as the strain increased, accompanied by the elements’ diffusion. The β-stabilizing elements (Mo, Fe, and V) were mainly dissolved within the β phase and diffused from α to β phase furthermore during deformation. The increase in strain leads to the accumulation of dislocations, which results in the increase in the proportion of low angle grain boundaries by 15%. As the deformation process, the crystal of α grains rotated, and the texture changed, accompanied by the accumulation of dislocations. The phase boundary (α/β) sliding accommodated by dislocation slip was the predominant mechanism for SP700 alloy during superplastic deformation.     

Young convalescent COVID‐19 pneumonia with extensive pneumomediastinum emphysema: Case report

The development of the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic caused a common appearance of severe pulmonary complications, rarely seen as a result of the other infections. These are pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, emphysematous bullae, cavitary lung lesions, or subcutaneous emphysema. Their formation is influenced by both—the natural course of the disease and the treatment strategy adopted.     

The possible association between the presence of an MPO −463 G > A (rs2333227) polymorphism and cervical cancer risk

Purpose

The association between myeloperoxidase (MPO) polymorphism and the risk of cervical cancer is inconclusive. We performed a meta-analysis to clarify if a correlation exists between MPO polymorphism and the risk for developing cervical cancer.

Lipidomic analysis reveals the significant increase in diacylglycerophosphocholines in umbilical cord blood from pregnant women with gestational hypercholesterolemia

Gestational hypercholesterolemia has been recognized as a risk factor of some pregnancy complications. We supposed that maternal hypercholesterolemia modified the lipid profile of the fetus. Thirty pregnant women with hypercholesterolemia and matched controls were recruited and cord blood was sampled. Lipidomic analysis was used to evaluate the lipid profile change between the two groups. The results showed that the content of diacylglycerophosphocholines (PC) was significantly high in cord blood from hypercholesterolemic pregnant women. PC (16:0/20:4) and PC (18:0/20:4) were selected as the most important lipid species in cord plasma and their contents were positively related to the total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in cord blood. The contents of these two PCs were significantly higher in the hypercholesterolemic group than in the control group. These results suggested that gestational hypercholesterolemia might program the phospholipid metabolism in offspring.

An fMRI study on smooth pursuit and fixation suppression of the optokinetic reflex using similar visual stimulation

This study compares brain activation patterns evoked by smooth pursuit and by fixation suppression of the optokinetic reflex (OKR) using similar retinal stimulation. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was performed during smooth pursuit stimulation in which a moving target was presented on a stationary pattern of stripes, and during fixation suppression of OKR in which a stationary target was presented on a moving pattern of stripes. All subjects could effectively ignore the background pattern and were able to keep the target continuously on the fovea with few saccades, in both experiments. Smooth pursuit evoked activation in the frontal eye fields (FEF), the supplementary eye fields (SEF), the parietal eye fields (PEF), the motion-sensitive area (MT/V5), and in lobules and vermis VI of the cerebellum (oculomotor areas). Fixation suppression of OKR induced activation in the FEF, PEF, and MT/V5. The direct comparison analysis revealed more activation in the right lobule VI of the cerebellum and in the right lingual and calcarine gyri during smooth pursuit than during fixation suppression of OKR. Using similar retinal stimulation, our results show that smooth pursuit and fixation suppression of the OKR appear to activate largely overlapping pathways. The increased activity in the oculomotor areas of the cerebellum during smooth pursuit is probably due to the presence of an active eye movement component.
