Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the identification and localization of Treponema pallidum (TP).Methods Rabbit anti-human TP polyclonal antibody labeled IHC was used to detect 20 paraffin-embedded biopsy samples from lesions of 14 patients with syphilis or suspected syphilis in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital of Zhejiang University from January 2004 to May 2012.Results TP was detected in 80% of all the 20 samples by IHC assay,including 83.3% (5/6) in patients with primary syphilis,100.0% (10/10) in patients with secondary syphilis,and 25.0% (1/4) in patients with tertiary syphilis,with a positive diagnostic accuracy of 100.0%.TP was mainly present in lower part of epidermis or perivascular,characterized by an endotheliotropic and epitheliotropic patterns or in the tissue of granulomatous inflammation.Besides,the density of TP was associated with types of lesions.There were more TP in the lesions of syphilis chancre,syphilis proctitis and condyloma latum,and fewer TP in the lesions of squamous erythema,greyish-black plaque,ulcer of chest wall from tertiary syphilis,and least in syphilitic lymphadenitis.There were no correlations between the quantity of TP and the rapid plasma regain (RPR) test titer (P>0.05).Conclusions IHC for TP is of both high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of syphilis,suggesting that TP-IHC is helpful for the diagnosis of syphilis,especially for the diagnosis of early suspected syphilis with negative serological results,systemic damage of syphilis,or syphilis in untypical locations and unusual lesions.It can serve as an alternative method for the diagnosis of syphilis.

Objective To investigate the expression of Toll-like receptors(TLRs) in condyloma acuminatum(CA) lesions and their possible roles in the pathogenesis of CA. Methods The expressions of TLR1-10 mRNA level in the lesions of CA and in the cervix scrape cells from the patients with human papillomavirus(HPV) negative chronic cervicitis were detected by real-time quantitative fluorescent PCR. HPV typing was detected by HPV GenoArray test kit. Results Low-risk HPV type 6 and type 11 were the most prevalent types in the forty CA cases with positive rate of 77.5% and 55% respectively. 55% CA patients were found infected with more than two types of HPV. 35% CA patients were concurrently infected with high-risk HPV. The expressions of TLR3, 7, 8 mRNA were higher than other TLRs and the expression of TLR9 mRNA was lower than others in the lesions of CA. No significant differences of the TLR1-10 mRNA levels were found between HPV6 and HPV11 positive CA lesions, so did it between low-risk and high-risk HPV concurrent infected CA lesions. The expressions of TLR1-3, TLR5-8, TLR10 mRNA, especially TLR2, TLR7 and TLR8 in the lesions of CA were significantly higher than that in cervix scrape cells of HPV negative chronic cervicitis. There were no significant differences of TLR4 and TLR9 mRNA levels between the two groups. Conclusion There were higher expressions of some TLRs (3, 7, 8) and lower expression of TLR9 in the lesions of CA. Compared with HPV negative chronic cervicitis, the expressions of TLR1-3, TLR5-8, TLR10 mRNA in the lesions of CA were up-regulated. The expression profile of TLRs in different type of HPV infected CA lesions had no significant differences. Our results suggested that the expression profile of TLRs in CA may be associated with the HPV infection. Whether it was associated with the immune escape mechanism and persistent infection of HPV need further demonstration.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of Kangxianling Decoction (KXLD), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) mRNA and phosphorylations of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2) and p38 in renal tissue of rats with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). METHODS: Eighteen male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham-operated group, untreated group and KXLD-treated group. A rat model of renal interstitial fibrosis was established by UUO. Rats with UUO were sacrificed after intragastric administration of KXLD for 14 days, and the parameters such as serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and hydroxyproline in the kidney of rats in 3 groups were analyzed. The expression of HGF mRNA in kidney tissue was determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The expressions of c-Met protein, ERK1/2 protein, p38 protein and the phosphorylations of ERK1/2 and p38 were determined by Western blotting method. RESULTS: The levels of SCr, BUN and hydroxyproline in the untreated group were significantly increased as compared with those in the sham-operated group (P<0.05). The expression of HGF mRNA in the untreated group was significantly down-regulated. The expression of c-Met protein and the phosphorylations of ERK1/2 and p38 in the kidney tissue of rats with UUO in the untreated group were significantly up-regulated. After intervention with KXLD, the phosphorylations of ERK1/2 and p38 were all significantly inhibited except for c-Met expression. The HGF mRNA was increased in KXLD-treated group. CONCLUSION: KXLD can decrease the level of collagen in the obstructed kidney of rats with UUO and alleviate the renal interstitial fibrosis in rats with UUO through enhancing the HGF mRNA expression and inhibiting the phosphorylations of ERK1/2 and p38.

Objective: To explore the relevant factors of acquired swallowing disorders in adult patients after cardiac surgery. Methods: A Jiatian water swallowing screening test was conducted for adult patients after cardiac surgery in our hospital from 2015-03 to 2015-09. There were 32 patients with acquired swallowing disorder deifned as Case group and meanwhile 420 patients without swallowing disorder at the same word deifned as Control group. Non-conditional Logistic regression analysis was applied to study the relevant factors for acquired swallowing disorders. Results: The overall incidence of acquired swallowing disorders was 7.08%. Multi Logistic regression analysis presented that duration of endotracheal intubation (OR=1.060,P<0.001), pre-operative arrhythmia (OR=2.780,P=0.019), NYHA grade (OR=1.789, P=0.033) and Euroscore (OR=1.216,P=0.040) were the relevant factors for the occurrence of acquired swallowing disorders in adult patients after cardiac surgery. Conclusion: Medical professionals should pay special attention to patients with above mentioned risk features at post-operative drinking to reduce the complications of acquired swallowing disorders.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of US, ECT, CT and MRI in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Methods Data of 34 PHPT patients with diagnosis confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively reviewed from January 1, 1990, through March 31, 2004. Results The preoperative diagnosis in 22 out of 25 cases (88%) undergoing preoperative ultrasonography of the neck with a positive result was verified by intraoperative findings. For 99m Tc-MIBI, CT and MRI, the positive results were 95%, 69% and 100% respectively. Conclusion Ultrasonography and 99m Tc-MIBI should be considered as the first choice for preoperative loci localization in patients with PHPT. Ultrasonography and 99m Tc-MIBI in combination is more sensitive and accurate for the localization of PHPT.
