BACKGROUND: Low intensity pulsed ultrasound is safe, non-invasive, and has strong penetration. In recent years, more and more studies have indicated that low intensity pulsed ultrasound has important role in promoting the repair of damaged articular cartilage.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of low intensity pulsed ultrasound on the expression of type II col agen and matrix metal oproteinase 13 in articular cartilage of rabbits of knee arthritis.
METHODS: A total of 20 New Zealand white rabbits were included in this study to establish knee arthritis model. Al models were randomly divided into control group and experimental group, 10 rats in each group. In the experimental group, the right knee joint received low intensity pulsed ultrasound treatment with an ultrasonic fracture healing instrument. In the control group, right knee joint received false low intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy. At 8 weeks after intervention, cartilage tissue was col ected from medial end of tibia and medial end of femur. After conventional treatment, toluidine blue staining was performed. Pathological observation was conducted under a microscope. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect matrix metal oproteinase 13 and type II col agen expression in chondrocytes. The general situation of the experimental animals was observed. The results of articular cartilage and the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction results of matrix metal oproteinase-13 and type II col agen were observed under a microscope.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Toluidine blue staining and pathological observation: 8 weeks after treatment, obvious fissure appeared in articular cartilages, and extending from the surface to the deep layer in the control group, and there was a lack of staining. In the experimental group, cracks formed on articular cartilage surface, and there was a moderate staining missing. (2) Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction: at 5 and 10 days after culture, significant differences in gene expression of matrix metal oproteinase-13 and type II col agen were detected at various time points in the experimental and control groups (P < 0.05). (3) The results showed that the low intensity pulsed ultrasound could affect the gene expression of matrix metal oproteinase-13 and type II col agen in the rabbit model of knee arthritis.

Objective To examine the distribution and antibiotic resistance of the Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from Department of Neurology.Methods A retrospective review was conducted for the 269 strains of A.baumannii isolated during the period from January 2009 to March 2014.VITEK 2 Compact system was used for bacteria identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.The data were analyzed with WHONET 5.6 software and compared by Chi-square test.Results The prevalence of A.baumannii was higher in Department of Neurology than in Department of Neurosurgery or Neurology ICU. Majority (97.4%)of the A.baumannii strains were isolated from sputum.About 54.3% of the A.baumannii isolates were resistant to imipenem.Relatively lower percentage of the A.baumannii isolates were resistant to amikacin (20.7%),but as high as 54.3% and 55.0% of the strains were resistant to imipenem and piperacillin-tazobactam.More imipenem-non-resistant A.baumannii strains (89.4%)were resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole than imipenem-resistant A.baumannii (72.6%)(P < 0.05). However,to the other antimicrobial agents tested,imipenem-resistant A.baumannii strains showed significantly higher resistance rate than imipenem-non-resistant A.baumannii strains (P< 0.05).Conclusions The prevalence of A.baumannii and imipenem-resistant A.baumannii is high in Department of Neurology.Further monitoring of antibiotic resistance and rational use of antimicrobial agents are helpful to effectively control the epidemic of multidrug-resistant A.baumannii.

Objective To study the prognosis of neonatal hyperthyrotropinemia (HT). Methods Children with HT were followed up regularly to evaluate the growth index, thyroid function and effectiveness of treatment. Results One hundred and ninety-one neonates with serum TSH level of 5.6~10 mU/L at the screening were followed up until 24 months old. Serum TSH gradually returned to normal range in 182 cases. Serum TSH increased to be>10 mU/L in 5 cases who were treated with levothy-roxine sodium. Serum TSH lfuctuated between 5.6 and 10 mU/L in 4 cases who were continually followed up. Among 44 cases of serum TSH at 10~20mU/L, serum TSH gradually returned to normal range after levothyroxine sodium treatment in 38 cases;se-rum TSH increased to>20 mU/L in 7 cases for whom continuous treatment with levothyroxine sodium was required. In 242 cases of HT neonates, 18 cases had received continuous levothyroxine sodium replacement treatment for 2 years and were followed-up continuously. Conclusions Most of the newborns with HT recover within 2 years, while a few develop thyroid dysfunction and require follow-ups.
