ABSTRACT
Objectives To search for the pathogenesis of vaseular endothelial injury and its clinical significance.Methods 36 patients with acute lower respiratory trect infection(ALRI)and 30 healthy controls were envolved. Circulating endothelial cells (CEC)and nitric oxide (NO) levels were tested.Results Circulating nitrite/nitra levels,the stable metabolic products of NO,were found to be significantly higher in the patients with ALRI (44.6?22.6umol/L) than that in the controls (24.5?14.1umoI /L, P
ABSTRACT
Objective IL-2,6 production by PBMNC (peripheral blood mononucleat cells) were ineaeured with an attempt to illustrate the immune function of children with bronchopneumonia.Methods The biological activities of IL-2,6 were measured by CTLL and CESS cell lines respectively In addition, mitogen-stimulated blastogenic transformation (MSBT) was also measured. The results were analysed statistically. Patients or Other Farticipants T enty-eight cases of children with bronshopneumonia, male, 16,female: 12. Age: 8 months to 7 years, average 3. 9 years. 15 normol controls, male: 8, female 7.Age: 2 to 6 years, average 3 .5 years.Interventions 5～6ml of venous blood was obtaincd, followed PBMNC were centrifugalized by. FicollHypaque. Wash three:times with RPMI-1640 medium. Resuspend cell at 5 ?106/ml. Add 1% PHA and culture for 48h. Horvest supernatant and store at - 20℃.Measurement and Main Rcsults The levels of IL-2 in children with bronchopneumonia and normal children were (CPM) 9 538 + 3 363, 16 152 ? 3 411 (t test, P
