Methods: A total of 60 children with viral encephalitis who were treated in Xianyang First People's Hospital between December 2015 and January 2017 were selected as viral encephalitis group, and 50 healthy children who accepted vaccination in the hospital during the same period were selected as normal control group. The differences in serum levels of VCAM-1, nerve injury-related indexes and inflammatory factors were compared between two groups of children, and Pearson test was used to further evaluate the correlation of serum VCAM-1 content with nerve injury and inflammatory response in children with viral encephalitis. Results: Immediately after admission, serum VCAM-1 content of children with viral encephalitis was significantly higher than that of normal control group;serum nerve injury-related indexes CK-BB, MBP, β-EP and NSE contents were higher than those of normal control group;serum inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-18 and γ-IFN contents were higher than those of control group. Pearson test showed that serum VCAM-1 content in children with viral encephalitis was positively correlated with nerve injury and inflammatory response. Conclusion: Serum VCAM-1 content is high in children with viral encephalitis, and the specific content is directly correlated with the severity of nerve injury and inflammatory response.展开更多

Theoretically, the paper shows the existence of steady states, stability and instability of the steady states, the effects of CO2 concentration on steady states. Especially, a critical point is found, the system has only one steady state with C02 concentration in the left neighborhood of the critical point, but has two with C02 concentration in the right neighborhood. In addition, the paper also explores the influence of C02 concentration on the efficiency of photosynthesis. These theoretical results not only provide insight to the kinetic behaviors of the photosynthetic carbon metabolism, but also can be used to help improving the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants.展开更多
