ABSTRACT
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children has the characteristics of less stem cell for transplantation and higher acceptability of donors. The article reviews the classification, clinical application, general planning and clinical advantages of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children, to provide a new treatment for children's immune system diseases and genetic and metabolic diseases.
ABSTRACT
Systemic inflammatory response has a major role in the development and progression of cancer,and increased systemic inflammatory response usually correlates with poorer survival.Recently the evaluation index of systemic inflammatory response including neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio,C-reactive protein,glasgow prognostic score,platelet-lymphocyte ratio.Several previous studies show that these indexes are the independent prognostic factors for esophageal cancer.Research on the systemic inflammatory markers may also be valuable for the clinical treatment and prognosis of esophageal cancer.

ABSTRACT:To understand the status of contamination and antimicrobial resistance of Staphylococcus aureus (S .aureus) isolated from raw cow milk ,600 samples were collected from five different provinces in China .After isolation and identification of S .aureus from these samples ,157 S .aureus isolates were obtained .Furthermore ,their resistant phenotype and resistant gene were analyzed by MIC detection ,as well as nine drug‐resistance genes determination and analysis .The result revealed that most of the S .aureus isolates contained multiple antibiotic resistant genes ,and all of the isolates were resistant to penicillin . Of 98 .73% isolates were resistant to amoxicillin .Conversely ,all of the isolates were sensitive to enrofloxacin and vancomycin . Moreover ,there were 29 MRSA positive strains among which 22 strains carrying femA gene .In conclusion ,much more atten‐tion should be paid to the drug‐resistance capabilities of field S .aureus isolates in raw cow milk ,and further monitoring of drug resistant S .aureus strains in milk should also be strengthened so as to ensure milk safety .
ABSTRACT
Gui-Ling-Ji (GLJ), a classical prescription of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is the only existing compound of refining agent after 400-year testing. It is also one of 4 kinds of TCM secret varieties of the first batch after liberation. However, due to the lack of in-depth modern research, the magical effect of GLJ has not been fully understood and the clinical application has also been influenced. This article analyzed the situation and problems of secret varieties and GLJ. Experiences and strategies of the successful redevelopment of secret varieties were re-ferred to. Then, this paper proposed modern research thoughts of GLJ in order to realize the actively protection and the second development of the prescription.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and related risk factors of allergic rhinitis in primary and middle school students in Changsha so that to provide the scientific basis for the disease control and intervention.@*METHOD@#From June 2011 to April 2012, we randomly chose primary and middle school students aged from 10 to 17 years old in Changsha as our research objects. Through stratified sampling and cluster sampling, we carried out epidemiological investigation using questionnaire investigation, physical examination and skin prick test. After statistical analysis of the data,we explored the related risk factors.@*RESULT@#(1) 7,023 copies of questionnaire were sent out and 6,407 copies of valid questionnaire were received in the stratified sampling survey. The prevalence of complaining about having got allergic rhinitis is 44.6% while the real rates is 20.5%; (2) 814 research objects were investigated in cluster sampling survey. The result of the incidence of allergic rhinitis is 26.3%, and the prevalence of allergic rhinitis is 17.2%. Analysis of Visual Analog Scale Questionnaire showed significant influence of allergic rhinitis on students character, memory, sleep quality, etc.@*CONCLUSION@#The prevalence of allergic rhinitis in primary and middle school students aged at 10-17 years old in Changsha is 17%-20%. The occurrence and development of allergic rhinitis is related to environment, genetic background and living habits. Allergic rhinitis influenced the students' character, memory and sleep quality significantly.

OBJECTIVE@#To study the effect of tympanostomy tube surgery in cleft palate children with secretory otitis media (SOM).@*METHOD@#Cleft palate children complicated by SOM accepted palatoplasty combined tympanostomy tube surgery, and evaluated by tympanum examination, acoustic immittance measurement in the post-operation. The others with suited age constitute, who accepted palatoplasty only,received the same testing too.@*RESULT@#Compared with children who accepted palatoplasty only,the correlated index of SOM in post-operation of children who accepted palatoplasty combined with tympanostomy tube surgery had more improvements,there was a statistically significant difference between them. The recovery degree of middle ear function in younger group was better than elder group,there was a statistically significant difference between them.@*CONCLUSION@#Tympanostomy tube surgery is helpful to increase cure rate of 0ME in children with cleft palate. The younger the patient is,the better the recovery degree of middle ear function will be. Palatoplasty combined with tympanostomy tube surgery should be an effective way in the management of cleft palate complicated by SOM, and good effect could be obtained when children accepted operation in early stage.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the behavior difference of allergic rhinitis with adenoid hypertrophy between study group and control group.@*METHOD@#One hundred and seventeen children diagnosed as allergic rhinitis with adenoid hypertrophy were enrolled in our study were divided into study group and control group. Forty-two children treated with local steroid nasal spray for two to three months and antihistamine were control group. Seventy-five children treated with endoscopic adenoidectomy and drug treatment were study group; All children' parents were inquired for their clinical presentation.@*RESULT@#No distinctive differences were found between the two groups (P > 0.05) in adenoid hypertrophy, accompanying nasal problems and clinical questionnaire scoring. Significant statistical distinction were found (P < 0.05) in snoring, sleep disturbance and frequent arousal, nasal obstructive moth-breathing, and recurrent respiratory tract infection between the two groups after three-month follow up.@*CONCLUSION@#Endoscopic adenoidectomy should be taken into account for allergic rhinitis with adenoid hypertrophy in children. Adenoidectomy would be useful for the improvement of behavior symptoms.
