ABSTRACT
Objective To study the changes of parameters of platelet (Pt), mean platelet volume( MPV ), platelet constrict volume ( PCT ), and platelet distribution width (PDW) in child idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) before and after anti-virus treatment. Methods Pt,MPV,PCT and PDW were determined in 110 cases with child ITP, including slight group ( 16 cases), medium group(38 cases ), serious group (30 cases) and more serious group (26 cases) before and after treatment with anti-virus as well as in 110 normal controls with XT-1800i auto blood cell analysis instrument. Results There were significant differences on MPV, PDW and PCT between the patients of slight group and medium group, and so on medium group and serious group, serious group and more serious group (P<0.01 ).There was significant difference on PCT between the patients of slight group and more serious group (P<0.01 ). Before treatment, in the patients the MPV, PDW were significantly higher and the Pt, PCT were significantly lower than those in the controls and after treatment (P<0.01 ). After treatment,the levels of Pt and PCT were lower in the patients than those in the controls (P<0.05), but , MPV, PDW were no difference. Conclusion Dynamic changes of parameter of platelet could reflect the progress of ITP and could guide clinical treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical significance of vires infection and serum interleukin-2 (IL-2)Ievels in recurrent childhood idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP).Methods The cytomegalovirus(CMV),epstein-Barrvirus(EBV)-adenovirus(ADV),herpesvirus(HSV)antibodies ISM and IL-2 levels were determined in the serum of 4 childhood with recurrent childhood ITP as well as in 40 normal controls with ELISA and RIA.Re-sults The CMV-lgM positive cases were 18,EBV-IgM were 14-ADV-IgM were 5,HSV-lgM were 3.In the controls,those were 3,2,1,and 0 respectively(P<0.05 or P<0.01).The serum IL-2(0.35±0.12)μg/L levels were sig-nificantly lower than those in the controls[(0.61±0.17)μ/L,P<0.05].Conclusion DNA virus antibodies and IL-2 levels can reflect virus infection and immune condition of diseases in recurrent childhood ITP.It is impor-rant to comprehend the mechanism of recurrent childhood ITP for guiding clinical treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changes in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) of neonatal rat induced by aldosterone. Method CFs were isolated by trypsin digestion method. Proliferation of CF was assessed by MTT colorimetric assay. Nitric acid reductase method and spectrophotometry were used to determine the NO contents and NOS activity, respectively, at different time after CFs being treated with aldosterone. Result Aldosterone (1?10 -11 -1?10 -7 mol/L) could increase CFs proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. NO contents, NOS activity and iNOS mRNA were decreased in a dose-dependent manner after being treated with aldosterone in different concentrations (P
