[Objective]To probe into the immune protective effect of Astragalus polysaccharide on mice ,whose genital tract was infected with Chlamydia trachomatis. [Methods]After the murine model of genital tract infected with chlamydia trachomatis was established, we could obtain the minimum effective infective dose. Mice were immuned by different doses(10 mg·kg-1, 20 mg·kg-1, 40 mg·kg-1) of Astragalus polysaccharide(APS) and 0.9%NS , meanwhile the blank group was regarded as the control group. After mice were immuned, we detected serum IgG antibody levels by ELISA method,and took the twice effective dose of chlamydia trachomatis to attack the genital tract after a week. Then the mice genital shedding of epithelial cells were cultured at each interval 2d. After 10 days, we kil ed the mice to calculate spleen(thymus) index, and observed the pathological changes in the reproductive tract of the mice. [Results]Compared with the control group, spleen(thymus) index and serum IgG antibody levels of Astragalus polysaccharide group are significantly higher. The results of vaginal exfoliated cells from Ct training show that, Ct positive rate of Astragalus polysaccharide group is significantly reduced, the number of inclusion bodies is also significantly decreased. And with the increasing concentration of Astragalus polysaccharide, the protective effect is more obvious. The NS group has no significant difference from the control group in al indicators. [Conclusions]Astragalus polysaccharide can induce immune protection on Ct genital tract attacked mice, and in the concentration range, with the increase of the concentration, the protection effect is better.

Objectives To construct two retroviral vectors, one containing human interleukin-1 recep-tor antagonist (hIL-1Ra) gene and the other containing human interleukin-10 (hIL-10) gene and to transfect rabbit synoviocytes in vitro and detect the expression level of target genes. Methods RNA from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were extracted and target genes were amplified by RT-PCR. The target genes were cloned into retroviral vector pLXSN, which was then transducted into GP2-293 cells to produce recombinant retrovirus. Rabbit synoviocytes were transfected and the expression of target genes was detected by RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry and western-blot. Results The retroviral vector containing hIL-1Ra gene or hIL-10 gene was constructed successfully. The hIL-1Ra gene and hIL-10 gene were transduced respectively into rabbit synoviocytes in vitro. The mRNA level of both genes reached peak in 5 days. In positive cell clones, the protein level of hIL-1Ra reached peak within 30 days and maintained at least 60 days; the protein level of hIL-10 maintained at least 40 days. Conclusion The hIL-1Ra gene and hIL-10 gene can be transduced successfully into rabbit synoviocytes by recombinant retrovirus.

Objective To understand the current status of advanced schistosomiasis patients, so as to provide the reference for improving the medical care of them in Shanggao County. Methods The data of advanced patients in Shanggao County were collected from the Information Management System for the Advanced Schistosomiasis Chemotherapy and Assistance in Jiangxi Province and a field survey including the epidemiological investigation physical examinations and B ultrasound examinations was performed in 2014. All the data were analyzed statistically and compared with those in 2010. Results Among the 128 ad?vanced schistosomiasis patients the male female ratio was 2.46 1 the average age was 68.02±6.19 years and the patients old?er than 65 years contributed to 64.84%for the all. The proportions of clinically types of ascites splenomegaly multiple granulo?ma in the colon dwarf general and haemorrhage were 57.81% 12.50% 2.34% 0 26.57% and 0.78% respectively. The ultrasound examinations revealed the average diameter of the main trunk of portal vein was 12.70 ± 1.91mm in 2014 which was significantly broader than that of 12.05 ± 0.34mm in 2010 P < 0.01 . Conclusions The advanced schistosomiasis patents in Shanggao County decreases with years and shows an aging trend. Some advanced schistosomiasis patients are worse therefore the chemotherapy and salvation work still should be strengthened.

Methods:We detected the expression of PIK3R3 in malignant melanoma and normal tis-sues. Efficiency of gene silencing of c-Myc and PIK3R3 was determined by qPCR and Western blot. We detected the proliferate ability of B16-F10 cells after silencing c-Myc and PIK3R3 using EdU assay.

The expression of miR-199a after silencing c-Myc and PIK3R3 using qPCR. The expression of c-Myc and PIK3R3 was detected by qPCR after transfecting miR-199a mimics or miR-199a inhibitor. Dual-luciferase reporter assay system was used to detect miR-199a regulating c-Myc and PIK3R3. Results:Compared normal skin tissue,expression of PIK3R3 was significantly increased in malignant melanoma tissue;after silencing c-Myc and PIK3R3 gene,the proliferation,invasion and metastasis of melanoma cell line B16-F10 were significantly reduced;expression of miR-199a upregulated after silencing c-Myc and PIK3R3 genes, expression of c-Myc and PIK3R3 decreased after transfecting miR-199a mimics, expression of c-Myc and PIK3R3 upregulated after transfecting miR-199a inhibitor, dual luciferase reporter system test results revealed miR-199a can directly regulate c-Myc and PIK3R3 transcription activity. Conclusion: miR199a regulated the expression of c-Myc,then promote proliferation,migration and invasion in malignant melanoma cells.

Objective To evaluate the restorative effects of customarily designed resin bonded fixed partial denture(RBFPD) on single posterior tooth anodontia accompanied by tilted distal abutment,and summarize the indications and characteristics of RBFPD.Methods From 2002 to 2003,18 outpatients with single posterior tooth anodontia accompanied by tilted distal abutment were selected for the present study in the Department of Stomatology,General Hospital of People's Liberation Army.The gradient of tilted abutment was less than 50?.All the teeth with abutments were vital without obvious loosening or abnormal periodontal condition.The position and configuration of occlusion rest and retainer of denture were designed according to the inclination of abutment and cast survey.Titanium alloy or cobalt-chromium porcelain fused to metal RBFPD was prescribed,and all patients were followed up for 5 years.The clinical and X-ray examination were performed at each revisit and the subjective experience of patients was inquired.Results The average gradient of tilted distal abutment was 33?.During the period of 5-year follow-up,in all the 18 patients but 2,all the dentures were in function without detachment.The gum of abutment and the bottom of the pontic were in good condition,and no periodontitis in abutment was observed.There was no obvious change of abutment examined by X-ray during the period of follow-up.The patients were satisfactory with the prosthesis,and the success rate was 88.9% during the period of 5-year follow-up.Conclusion RBFDP used to restore the posterior single tooth anodontia with tilted abutment has the merit of less tooth reduction and reliable clinical effects,and root canal therapy is not necessary for tilted abutment.
