[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 investigate the trends in and characteristics of syphilis epidemiology in China,and to provide a scientific basis for the development of control strategies.Methods An epidemiological study was performed on syphilis cases reported from 31 provinces,autonomous regions and municipalities between 2000 and 2013.Results The reported syphilis incidence increased yearly from 6.43 per 100 000 person-years in 2000 to 32.86 per 100 000 person-years in 2013,with an average annual growth rate of 13.37％.Syphilis was reported in most (99％) counties/districts in China mainland except for a few remote mountain areas,with a significant difference in the incidence of syphilis between different regions.The regions with a high incidence of syphilis included minority areas in Northwest China (Xinjiang,Qinghai and Ningxia),Minjiang River area,Yangtze River Delta (Zhejiang,Shanghai),Zhujiang River Delta (Guangxi,Guangdong),etc.There had been a rapid increase in the incidence of syphilis in some regions previously reported to have a low incidence (such as Guizhou,Shaanxi,Henan,etc).Among the reported cases,female patients predominated with an average male/female ratio of 0.92 ∶ 1.The incidence of syphilis was highest in the age group of 20-39 years,but increased yearly by more than 30％ in the population aged ＞ 60 years.Of 20 occupations,peasant workers accounted for the highest proportion (31.56％) of syphilis cases,and retired population showed the most rapid increase by about 27.35％ per year.The constituent ratio of primary and secondary syphilis in all the syphilis cases had declined yearly,while that of latent syphilis increased by more than 50％ after 2010.Conclusions Syphilis remains a major public health issue in China,and measures based on the epidemiological features are urgently needed to effectively control epidemic syphilis.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of MR in carotid-cavernous sinus fistulae(CCF). Methods Conventional MRI and 3D TOF MRA were performed in 23 cases of CCF confirmed by DSA. The MRI and MRA appearances of CCF were reviewed. Results The main MRI and MRA findings of CCF included enlargement of cavernous sinus, distortion and dilatation of the superior ophthalmic vein in the involved side in all cases.Dilatation of the inferior ophthalmic vein in 3 cases, superficial cerebral veins in 5 cases,dilatation of pterygoid venous plexus in 2 cases, superior petrosal sinus in 3 cases, and inferior pertrosal sinus in 2 cases. In the counterside, dilatation of cavernous sinus were found in 3 cases. Opening of posterior communicating artery in the circle of Willis happened in 17 cases. Conclusion MRI combined with MRA is able to make a reliable diagnosis of CCF, and is also able to demonstrate the condition of compensatory blood supply in brain, which is useful in the decision of the theraputic plan.
