Objective Comparing with traditional teaching methods of oral histopathology, to probe whether the interactive teaching system of the digital microscope can improve the teaching effi-ciency of experiment of oral histopathology courses. Methods The subjects were the 2010 grade students (40 students) and the 2011 grade students (38 students) majoring in stomatology of South Medical University, and they were evenly divided into 2 groups at random. In the first part of the ex-periment of Grade 2010, the teaching of traditional optical microscope was used in a group of experi-mental courses, and interactive teaching with digital microscope was used in the other group. In the second part of the experiment the two groups swapped the teaching method. While in the whole exper-iment of Grade 2011, traditional optical microscopes were adopted in one group, and in contrast, the interactive teaching system of the digital microscope was adopted in the other group. The P values of the 5 indexes were less than 0.05. After the courses, the 2010 grade students received the questionnaire survey and the 2011 grade students received the quiz about the experimental course, and then the evaluation results of the two groups were compared for t inspection, using SPSS software t test. Result The questionnaire results of Grade 2010 showed that the scores of digital microscope interactive group were higher than those of traditional teaching group in satisfaction with teaching , teacher-student interaction, classroom atmosphere active degree, learning interest, and the understanding of the teach-ing content. The experiment course content test results of Grade 2011 showed that the digital interactive group students averaged 46.26, while the average score of the traditional teaching group was 42.78%. The difference between the two groups had statistical significance, P=0.001. Conclusion Compared with the traditional teaching methods, the interactive teaching system of the digital microscope can enhance the academic grades, improve the teaching efficiency of experiment of oral histopathology courses, and elevate the teaching quality.

Objective To compare the chemical composition of Auricularia auricula polysaccharide and the colloid, and the property of the different component-Fe complex. Method Auricularia auricula polysaccharide and the colloid were prepared first, then Auricularia auricula polysaccharide iron complex (APIC)and Aurcularia auricula glia iron complex (AGIC) were synthesized respectively with FeCl3 under alkaline condition, and their physicochemical property was determined. Results The stablility of AGIC was better than APIC and AGIC could be reduced to Fe(Ⅱ)by ascorbic acid more easily. Conclusion The Auricularia auricula colloid could combine with Fe(Ⅲ)easier than the polysaccharide, and would be expected to become a higher bioavailable iron-supplement.

Objective To evaluate puncture technique in thoracic endovascular aortic repair with abdominal aortic aneurysm and assess the feasibility and safety of using a pre-close technique for puncture and closure of femoral access sites. Methods From May 2010 to August 2013, the pre-close technique which involved two 6 F per-close ProGlide devices deployed in the femoral artery before upsizing to a 18-25 F sheath and one or two deployed before upsizing to a 14-16 F sheath were applied to 42 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (group A). Forty-seven patients using surgical femoral cutdown from December 2006 to April 2010 were enrolled into group B. The rate of technical success, time from procedure to the aortic delivery, operation time, low limb braking time, local complication, time from procedure to discharge, local vascular diameter after 3 months was evaluated and compared between two groups. Results There was no significant difference in endograft external diameter between two groups ( P>0.05). The rate of technical success was 97.62%(41/42) in group A and 95.74%(45/47) in group B, and there had no significant difference (P>0.05). Time from procedure to the aortic delivery, operation time and time from procedure to discharge in group A were significantly shorter than those in group B: (21.79 ± 5.79) min vs. (41.37 ± 11.79) min, (127.66±37.83) min vs. (157.84±42.71) min, (6.59±1.89) d vs. (9.14±2.57) d, P<0.05. The incidence rate of local complications, low limb braking time, and local vascular diameter after 3 months had no significant difference between two groups:7.14%(3/42) vs. 8.51%(4/47), (8.51± 1.83) h vs. (8.38±1.79) h, (1.05 ±0.36) mm vs. (0.98 ±0.31) mm, P>0.05. Conclusion The puncture technique with per-close ProGlide is safe and effective in percutaneous endovascular aortic repair which can be adopted as an alternative technique of surgical femoral cutdown approach in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Objective To investigate the correlations between the time of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and prognosis in patients with type B acute aortic dissection (AADB). Methods The clinical data of 156 AADB patients with TEVAR was retrospectively analyzed and divided into 3 groups according to the time from onset of symptom to TEVAR:less than seven days was deifned as group 1 (G1, n=87), seven days to fourteen days group 2 (G2, n=48);more than fourteen days was group 3 (G3, n=21). The status of aortic reconstruction at three months TEVAR, in-hospital mortalities, mean hospital expense and length of stay were compared among three groups. Results Before TEVAR, there was no signiifcant differences in the ratio of smallest true lumen diameter and largest false lumen diameter amony the three groups (0.47±0.33, 0.42±0.18, 0.47±0.27, respectively, P>0.05). At three months after TEVAR, the ratio of largest true lumen diameter and largest false lumen diameter among the three groups was signiifcantly greater in group 1 (1.76±0.51) than group 2(1.42±0.30) and group 3(1.34±0.34, P < 0.05), when there was no signiifcant difference between the later two groups. Complete aortic reconstruction (8 from group 1 and 4 from group 2) was achieved in 12 patients at 3 months after TAVAR. Eight patients died during hospitalization, 5 from visceral ischemic, 2 from proximal aortic dissection, one patient from sudden death. Compared with G3, the hospital expense of group 1 and group 2 was cut down about ￥20000. Length of stay was signiifcant greater in group 3 than in group 1 and group 2 (P<0.05). Conclusions Early TEVAR for AADB was safe and beneifcial for aortic reconstruct and reducing the hospital expense and length of stay.

Objective To investigate the effects of dexamethasone(DEX)on the secretion of interleukin (IL)-17 and interferon(IFN)-γ and the proportion of Th17,Tc17,Th1 ,Tc1 cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). Methods Thirty hospitalized SLE patients were recruited and twenty-two healthy volunteers were recruited as healthy controls. PBMCs were separated from SLE patients and healthy controls and then was cultured in vitro by medium or PMA/Ionomycin or PMA/Ionomycin +dexamethasone for six hours. Four- color immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometric assay were used to analyze the percentage of Th17,Tc17,Th1,Tc1 cells in PBMCs. Concentrations of IL-17 and IFN-γ in plasma and the supernatants of PBMCs which were cultured for 24 hours were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The plasma concentrations of IL-17 and IFN-γwere elevated in SLE patients as compared to the controls(P ＜ 0.05). No significant differences were observed between patients and controls for the spontaneous production of IL-17 and IFN-γ or percentage of T subsets expressed by PBMCs. After the stimulation of PMA,compared with the controls,the level of IL-17 was significantly elevated in the supematants of PBMCs and the percentages of Th17 and Tc1 in SLE patients increased significantly(P ＜ 0. 05). However,there showed no significant differences between SLE patients and the controls for the percentages of Th1 and Tc17 cells. DEX could significantly decrease the production of IL-17(P ＜ 0. 01)and the percentages of Th17,Tc1 cells by the active PBMCs(P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusions There is abnormal expression of T subset cells and their cytokines in vivo of SLE patients. DEX can interfere with immunological pathological process in the cytokine network imbalance of SLE patients and shows powerful inhibition of IL - 17. Our results may provide some laboratory evidence for the clinical application of corticosteroids.

To improve students' experimental research skills,innovative consciousness,promote the construction of functional experimental center,we established series of “comprehensive,contrivable,innovative” experiments in medical students.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells transplantation(UC-MSCT)for patients with refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods Twelve patients with refractory SLE were enrolled in this study.UC-MSCs(≥106/kg cell number)were infused intravenously for each patient. The clinical manifestations and laboratory parameters were compared before and after MSCT. Results The twelve patients were followed up for one to twenty-six months after MSCT.The systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index(SLEDAI)score decreased from 18±4 to 10±4 one month after MSCT(n=12,P＜0.01)and then decreased to 7±4 at three month follow-up.Nine patients showed improvement of 24 h proteinuria[(2103±749)mg vs(3359±1248)mg,P＜0.01]one month after MSCT.Further improvement of 24 h proteinuria was observed in eight patients[(1427±616)mg vs(3342±1333)mg,P＜0.01]at three months post MSCT.Serum creatinine of five patients decreased significantly and ten patients showed an increase of serum albumin. Serum complement C3 increased in three patients and four patients showed obvious amelioration of hematological abnormalities. There was no transplantation related complications for all the patients. Conclusion UC-MSCT is effective and safe for refractory SLE,but further observation is required to evaluate its long term efficacy.

Objective To reveal the mechanisms of immunological infertility,the method of coimmunoprecipitation(CO-IP) and liquid chromatogram mass/mass (LC-MS/MS) was used to screen sperm membrane proteins which interacting with antisperm antibodies (ASA).Methods This study was designed as a case-control.The disease group including 56 serum samples from 521 cryptogenic infertile patients were screened ASA positive by ELISA and conformed with mixed antiglobulin reaction(MAR).The controls were 31 serum samples which ASA is negative and already possessed healthy offspring.All subjects were enrolled from September 2015 to December 2015 in China PLA General Hospital.Spermatozoa samples from 48donors with normal sperm parameters were from January 2016 to April 2016 in China PLA General Hospital.The purified human sperm membrane proteins were then mixed with serum from disease group (positive for ASA) and control group (not containing ASA).The binding proteins of antisperm antibodies were enriched using CO-IP assay.The immunoprecipitates were separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyactylamide gel (SDS-PAGE),then the binding proteins were cut from the gel and analyzed by LC-MS/MS after the enzymolysis.These proteins could bc idcntified as definition,biological function (s) and subccllular localization with Uniprot database.Results The serum samples from infertile persons (39 females and 17males) were screened ASA positive by ELISA and conformed with MAR.The healthy controls (17 females and 14 males) were ASA-negative in ELISA.Forty proteins that interact with ASA were obtained from the study and these could be divided into three groups:11 antigens detected by control serum samples only,14antigens recognised by both infertile patients and control sera,and 15 antigens specific for patients with ASA.These 15 proteins are Sperm Cation channcl protein 1,Sperm Cation channel protein 3,Sperm Cation channel protein 4,Sperm associated antigen 9,Apolipoprotein A-I,Dynein heavy chain 14,Cylicin-2,Izumo sperm-egg fusion protein 4,Thioredoxin domain-containing protein 2,IQ domain-containing protein H,IQ domain-containing protein F1,Spermatogenesis-associated protein 5,Spermatogenesis-associated protein 5-like protein 1,Sperm acrosome membrane-associated protein 1,E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF 114.Conclusion Fifteen proteins discovered with CO-IP technology and LC-MS/MS analysis could be referred as male immunoinfertility-related antigens and they may hold the great importance in revealing the secret of immunological infertility.

Objective To investigate the capsular polysaccharide (CPS) serotypes and molecular characteristics of carbapenem resistant hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-HMKP) and study the possible mechanism of carbapenem resistance. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 18 nonduplicate CR-HMKP strains which were collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from 2012 to 2016. The clinical data were retrieved from medical records. The capsular serotypes, resistance genes and virulence factors were detected by polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was determined on VITEK 2 compact system. The CR-HMKP strains were characterized molecularly by using PCR, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Modified carbapenem inactivation method was used to screen carbapenemase-producing strains. Plasmid conjugation transfer experiments were carried out to study transmission of carbapenem resistance. Results Eighteen (2.7％) CR-HMKP isolates were identified, which belonged to 4 serotypes, including wzi128-K1 (n=1), wzi206-K57 (n=1), wzi2-K2 (n=2), and wzi64-K14.64 (n=14). PCR and sequencing analysis identified blaNDM-1 gene in 2 CR-HMKP strains, blaKPC-2 gene in 17 strains, qnrS1 gene in 18 strains, blaCTX-M-3 gene in 3 strains, blaCTX-M-14 gene in 18 strains, blaTEM-1 gene in 16 strains, blaSHV-12 gene in 17 strains, and rmtB in 5 strains. All the 18 CR-HMKP strains carried virulence-associated genes, including rmpA (88.9％, 16/18), magA (5.6％, 1/18), iroN (83.3％, 15/18), aerobactin (27.8％, 5/18), rmpA2 (66.7％, 12/18) and mrkD (100％, 18/18). Three sequence types (STs) were identified by MLST, including ST11 (15 strains), ST86 (2 strains), and ST412 (1 strain). PFGE resulted in three major PFGE clusters, of which cluster A corresponds to ST1 isolates, and cluster B corresponds to ST86 isolates, and cluster C corresponds to ST412 isolates. All the blaKPC-2- positive strains belonged to ST11. Plasmid conjugation was successful in 5 (27.8％) of the 18 CR-HMKP isolates. Conclusions wzi64-K14.64 is the predominant capsule serotype of the CR-HMKP strains in this hospital. KPC-2 gene conjugationmay contribute to the emergence of CR-HMKP isolates. In addition, CRHMKP strain may be the highly prevalent ST11, and highly virulent CPS serotypes harboring K1/K2.

Objective:To analyze the MRI features of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE).Methods:The data of patients with HEHE managed in the Wenzhou People's Hospital of Zhejiang Province and the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from April 2000 to April 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 26 patients with HEHE, there were 12 males and 14 females, aged from 23 to 65 years (average 44.4 years). The quantity, size, shape and type of the lesions were observed and the MRI features were analyzed.Results:Of the 382 nodules detected by MRI in the 26 patients, the size varied from 0.5cm to 12.0 cm, with 16 nodules being more than 5.0 cm in diameter (average of 2.2 cm). Four patients with a single nodular type presented with low signal on T 1 weighted imaging (T 1WI), high signal on T 2 weighted imaging (T 2WI), high signal on diffused weighted imaging (DWI), and high central signal and low peripheral annular signal on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). After enhancement, the lesions presented with annular centripetal enhancement or continuous annular enhancement. Fourteen patients with multiple nodules had a total of 147 lesions, presenting with low signal on T 1WI, high signal on T 2WI, high signal on DWI, and high central signal and low peripheral annular signal on ADC. After enhancement, the lesions presented with annular centripetal enhancement and continuous annular enhancement. There were 24 lesions in 6 patients who had a " double-ring sign" , 21 lesions in 7 patients who had a capsule " shriveled sign" , 16 lesions in 7 patients who had a " lollipop sign" and 18 lesions in 5 patients who had an " intravascular sign" . There were 231 lesions in 8 patients of the fusion type. The lesions showed low signal on T 1WI, high signal on T 2WI , high signal on DWI, and high central signal and low peripheral signal on ADC. After enhancement, the lesions presented with flocculent or annular centripetal enhancement. In 8 patients, 87 lesions had a " target sign" , 55 lesions had a " lollipop sign" and 42 lesions had a capsule " shriveled sign" , and 36 lesions in 5 patients had an " intravascular sign" . Conclusion:MRI signs of HEHE have certain characteristics, such as lesions being distributed near the capsule, and fusing with each other; a " target sign" on T 2WI; a capsule " shriveled sign " ; and a " double-ring sign" , a " lollipop sign" , an " intravascular sign" in the portal phase. These features are helpful in diagnosing HEHE.
