ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To study lung tissue injury induced by long-term aerosol inhalation of 4 kinds of non-aerosol drugs in healthy SD rats, and to evaluate the safety of aerosol inhalation of non-aerosol drugs. METHODS: Totally 40 healthy SD rats (♂) were randomly divided into 8 group, i.e. blank control group, normal saline group (solvent control), budesonide group (non-aerosol drug control, 0.1 g/L) ,silicon dioxide group (lung injury drug control, 40 g/L)and 4 kinds of non-aerosol drugs [Dingchuan decoction group (15 g/mL, calculated by crude drug), cefatriaxone group (200 g/L), Qingkailing group (stoste) and Tangreqing group (stoste)], with 5 rats in each group. Except that blank control group didn’t received any treatment, other groups received aerosol inhalation, 10 mL, twice a day, for consecutive 56 days. After medication, the number of white blood cells in peripheral blood were counted and classified, and the number of white blood cells in bronchus alveolar lavage fluid were counted. The pathological changes of lung tissue were observed by HE staining and the number of dust cells was counted. The expression of leukocyte differentiation antigen 163 (CD163) in lung tissue were determined by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS: The white blood cells in peripheral blood mainly included lymphocyte and neutrophil, of which lymphocyte is the main one. Compared with blank control group, there was no statistical significance in the number of white blood cells, lymphocyte or neutrophil in peripheral blood, the number of white blood cells in alveolar lavage fluid or the number of dust cells in lung tissue of rats in normal saline group (P>0.05); the structures of bronchus and lung tissue were intact, and the expression of CD163 was negative. Compared with normal saline group, there was no statistical significance in the above indexed of rats in budesonide group(P>0.05), the structures of bronchus and lung tissue were intact, and the expression of CD163 was negative, while the number of white blood cells, lymphocyte or neutrophil in peripheral blood, the number of white blood cells in alveolar lavage fluid or the number of dust cells in lung tissue of rats in other 5 groups were all increased significantly (P<0.05); alveolar wall thickening and alveolar interstitial edema occurred in different degrees in lung tissue. The expression of CD163 was positive or strongly positive. CONCLUSIONS: The long-term aerosol inhalation of 4 kinds of non-aerosol drugs can induce pathological changes of lung tissue and increase the number of inflammatory cell and dust cell in alveolin in healthy SD rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the value of double-balloon enteroscopy and CT enterography for the diagnosis of intestinal Crohn disease ( CD ) . Methods Data of 125 patients with suspected CD undergoing double-balloon enteroscopy and CT enterography were reviewed. Diagnosis was made based on pathological,endoscopic findings and clinic follow-up results. Detection rates and diagnostic rates of double-balloon enteroscopy and CT enterography for intestinal CD were compared. Results The detection and diagnostic rates of intestinal CD by double-balloon endoscopy were 62. 4%( 78/125) and 94. 8% ( 74/78) , respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of double-balloon enteroscopy in the diagnosis of intestinal CD were 100. 0%, 92. 2% and 96. 8%, respectively. The detection and diagnostic rates of intestinal CD by CT enterography were 44. 8%( 56/125 ) and 89. 3% ( 50/56 ) , respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CT enterography in the diagnosis of intestinal CD were 67. 6%, 88. 2% and 76. 0%, respectively. Both the detection rate and the diagnostic rate of double-balloon enteroscopy in intestinal CD were higher than those of CT enterography. Conclusion Double-balloon enteroscopy shows high application value for the diagnosis of intestinal CD, but CT enterography before enteroscopy can guide the selection of endoscopic approach, reduce economic expenditure and alleviate patients' pain, so CT enterography could be the first choice for intestinal CD patients with contraindications of enteroscopy.

ABSTRACT
Objective Investigate the effect of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)on the neonatal metabolism and prognosis.Methods A total of 265 singleton pregnancy GDM patients were collected as the observation group,while 260 cases of healthy singleton pregnant women were chosen as the control group.Detected the levels of adiponectin,insulin,C-peptide,glycated hemoglobin and blood glucose,compared the prognosis of two groups.Results Compared with the control group,adiponcetin and blood glucose in 2 hours after birth in observation group were lower,insulin,C-peptide and glycated hemoglobin were higher,the number of cesarean section was more,the difference was statically significant (P<0.05).The incidence of low birth weight infant,macrosomia,neonatal asphyxia,neonatal hypoglycemia,neonatal hyperbilirubinemia,neonatal pneumonia,fetal death and newborn teratogenesis in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,the difference was statically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion GDM could cause metabolic disorder and affect fetal growth and development,leading to poor prognosis.

ABSTRACT
Hand,foot and mouth disease was caused by many kinds of enterovirus,while enterovirus 71 (EV71)and coxsackievirus A16(CA16)were prevalent causative agents of this disease,and each various subtypes of EV71 and CA16 were appear alternatively. Early diagnosis is significant for timely treatment and prognosis of children with hand,foot and mouth disease. Now,the laboratory detection methods of the etiology including virus isolation cul-ture,reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction,real - time polymerase chain reaction,reverse transcription loop -mediated isothermal amplification,enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay,neutralization tests. This review will summa-rized the advancement in the research of the etiology and detection method of hand,foot and mouth disease.
