Objective To investigate the effect of total flavones of Rhizoma Drynariae on femur distraction osteogenesis in the rabbits. Methods Thirty-two healthy rabbits were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 16 rabbits in each group. The femoral fracture was treated with unilateral femoral distraction and was fixed with a self-made distraction instrument. After 7-day intermittent period, the fractured femur was distracted at a rate of 1 mm/d, twice a day for 10 continuous days. The treatment group was fed with total flavones of Rhizoma Drynariae from the first post-operative day to the end of the experiment. And then all of the animals were sacrificed after fixation for 28 days. The bone specimens were used for histological observation and immunohistochemical detection. Results The area of mature bone in the newborn bone tissue of the treatment group was increased, and osteoblasts number and the percentage of trabecular bone area were significantly higher than those of the control group . The bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were stained brown deeply, the staining degree being stronger than that of the control group. Conclusion Rhizoma Drynariae total flavones can effectively accelerate the formation and maturation of newborn bone tissue during bone distraction.

Objective To investigate the influence of gene transfection antiangiogenesis on microvessel and relative cytokine of hypertrophic scar of rabbits' ear.Methods The hypertrophic scar of rabbtis' ear was reproduced.On the 10th day after epithelization,Ad-METH-1 was injected into tissue of scar.30 days later,the microvessel of scar-tissue was detected by microcirculation microscope.Meanwhile.H&E and immunohistochemical stains were performed.Then the results were analyzed.Results 30 days after Ad-METH-1 injection.in experimental groups,the microvascular count of scar tissue was 12.38±2.56,the percentage of VEGF positive cells was 17.64%,and the percentage of bFGF positive cell was 18.24%:while in the control groups,the microvascular count of scar tissue was 48.12±6.46.the percentage of VEGF positive cell was 31.34%.and the percentage of bFGF positive eell was 28.26%.Results revealed that the count of microvessel of scar tissue in the experimental groups was lower than that in the control groups,between which there was the difference in statistics(P＜0.01).and that the percentage of VEGF and bFGF positive cells of scar tissue in the expenmental groups were lower than that in the control groups.between which there was the difference in statistics(P＜0.05).Conclusion Ad-METH-1 has marked inhibitory effects on scar tissue hyperplasia of rabbits' ear,angiogenesis and expression of VEGF and bFGF.Using antiangiogenesis therapy at the early phase could inhibit the formation of hypertrophic scar.Gene transfection antiangiogenesis therapy could bid fair to become an effective method to prevent and treat hypertrophic scar.

Objective:To investigate the possible role of NKT cells in unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion by measuring the NKT cell numbers,maturity and cytokine secretion of the placenta of mice with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion.Methods:Normal pregnancy model in hybrid by feeding CBA / J and BABL/C in a cage,and the model of unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion was established by feeding CBA / J and DBA2/J in a cage.The number of NKT and CD3~+T cells was determined by flow-cytometry;Th1/Th2-relative cytokines were assayed by ELISA and T-bet expression was determinded by fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results:There was not significant change of CD3~+ T cells when compared between normal pregnancy and unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion group (P＞0.05).In the course of normal pregnancy,the IFN-γ secreted by placenta lymphocytes decreased gradually,accompanied by the decline of NKT cell number and the proportion of mature cells;whereas in the course of unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion,it was on the opposite.There was significant difference of T-bet mRNA expression between the two groups.T-bet mRNA expression was related to the proportion of mature NKT cells or placenta IFN-γ secretion by lymphocytes.Conclusion:Unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion may be related to NKT cells disorders,NKT cells are of low-mature proportion and inadequate secretion of IFN-γ during early pregnancy,whereas are shown high-mature proportion and excessive secretion of IFN-γ during latter pregnancy;the anomaly of T-bet mRNA expression may be one of the factors leading to NKT cells disorder.

Objective To understand the prevalence state of drinking-tea type fluorosis in Hainan Prefecture,Qinghai Province,and provide scientific data for its prevention and control.Methods In 2016,a cross-sectional survey method was used to select five counties of Guide,Guinan,Xinghai,Gonghe and Tongde in Hainan according to "National Investigation Measure of Prevalence of Drinking-tea Type Fluorosis".In each county,5 villages (towns) were selected according to the directions of east,west,north,south and center positions,and 1 administrative village was randomly selected in each village (town) as the survey site.All the children aged 8 to 12 years old at the survey site and 60 adults aged 16 years old and older at each survey site were selected as the survey subjects.We investigated the volume of brick-tea water consumed per day among objective population with questionnaire,and collected water,brick-tea water and urine samples (if each region has one water source,we collected one water sample,if this place have different water sources,we collected all the water samples from each water source;brick-tea water samples were collected based on different locations;more than 12 urine samples were collected in each survey site).The fluoride concentration in water,urine and tea water were detected with fluoride ion-selective electrode,the dental fluorosis of children aged 8-12 years were diagnosed by "Diagnosis of Dental Fluorosis" (WS/T 208-2011),and clinic skeletal fluorosis of population was diagnosed based on the "Diagnostic Criteria for Endemic Skeletal Fluorosis" (WS 192-2008).Results The medians of fluoride in drinking water,drinking-tea water were 0.29 and 1.43 mg/L,respectively.The mean of daily fluoride intake of each person was 1.82 mg,and the geometric mean of urinary fluoride was 0.83 mg/L;the rate of dental fluorosis among children was 14.06％ (559/3 975),its index was 0.24,the prevalence rate of clinic skeletal fluorosis among adult was 8.01％ (119/1 484).The rate of dental fluorosis among children in Tongde County was the highest,about 15.96％ (83/520),while the rate of dental fluorosis among children in Guinan County was the lowest,about 10.76％ (111/1 032).The prevalence rate of clinic skeletal fluorosis among adult in Xinghai County was the highest,about 10.87％ (30/276),while Tongde County was the lowest,about 5.75％ (15/261).Conclusions The prevalence of drinking-tea type fluorosis is relative low.However,the local population are still under the risk of brick-tea with high fluoride,so it is necessary to strengthen the health education propaganda to keep the population healthy.

Objective To analyze the radiographic characteristics of right hand X-ray film of adult patients with Kaschin-Beck disease (KBD) in Qinghai Province, to understand the most affected locations in adult KBD. Methods According to the criteria of KBD diagnose (WS/T 207-2010), 111 cases of patients were taken X-ray films of right hands. Joint space narrow, joint deformity, subchondral sclerosis, osteophyte, coarse and irregularity of joint, marginal retraction sign and capsule changes were chosen as the descriptive indexes, and these indexes were analyzed with SPSS 17.0. Results A total of 111 cases adult patients with KBD were examined right hand by X-ray, abnormality on X-ray film were 103 cases, the abnormal rate was 92.79%. The most affected fingers were Ⅱ- Ⅳphalanx bones, Ⅱphalanx bones accounted for about 92.23% (95/103), Ⅲ phalanx bones accounted for about 99.03% (102/103), and Ⅳ phalanx bones accounted for about 99.03% (102/103). There was significant difference of the abnormality between th e proximal phalanx and the middle phalanx among the Ⅱ - Ⅳ phalanx bones(χ2=79.33, P<0.05). Abnormal numbers of joint deformity, marginal retraction sign, coarse and irregularity of joint, osteophyte, capsule changes and joint space narrow in the proximal phalanx were 212, 7, 134, 47, 15 and 115 in Ⅱ - Ⅳ proximal phalanx, respectively; while the abnormal numbers of joint deformity, marginal retraction sign, coarse and irregularity of joint, osteophyte, capsule changes and joint space narrow in the middle phalanx were 77, 37, 137, 26, 19 and 126 in Ⅱ - Ⅳmiddle phalanx, respectively. Conclusion The Ⅱ - Ⅳ phalanx bones of right hand are the most affected locations in adult KBD.

Objective: To investigates the role of piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNA) in the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: Second-generation small RNA sequencing was performed on cancer and paracancerous tissues, metastatic and non-metastatic liver cancer tissues of patients with liver cancer, and the sequencing data were filtered out for the common RNA sequences to be repeated. The piRNA predictor was used to forecast the possible new piRNA merged with the downloaded known piRNA to screen out distinction. A miRanda algorithm was used to predict the corresponding target genes and functional enrichment analysis. piRNA was selected for experimental functional (migration) analysis. An independent t-test was used to compare means between the two groups. Results: 66 772 piRNAs (known 149) were obtained by sequencing. 241 piRNAs were found in cancer and paracancerous tissues, and 1 634 piRNAs were found in metastatic and non-metastatic tumors. Analysis of the GO and KEGG pathways of the target genes of differential piRNAs revealed that they were mainly involved in cell adhesion. An experimental functional analysis was performed on the selected Pirna (PIR1/97), which showed that it promoted the migration of hepatoma cells (LM3: t = 8.829, P < 0.05; PLC: t = 7.318, P < 0.05). Conclusion The expression levels of piRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma patients with cancer and paracancerous tissues, metastasis and non-metastatic liver cancer tissues are different and it could be entailed in the metastasis process of hepatocellular carcinoma. Hence, experimental functional analysis is required for research and experimental confirmation.

Objective:To understand the situation of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis (short for drinking water fluorosis) in Huangzhong, Ping'an and Ledu districts of Qinghai Province and operation status of water improvement projects, and to evaluate the effect of control measures.Methods:In historical drinking water fluorosis villages of Huangzhong, Ping'an and Ledu districts of Qinghai Province in 2018, the status of water improvement, the operation of water improvement projects and the content of water fluoride were investigated; the dental fluorosis of 8-12 years old children in all investigated villages was checked; 3 villages from 3 districts were selected, X-ray examination for skeletal fluorosis and urinary fluoride detection of adults over 25 years old of age were performed.Results:Eight-two historical drinking water fluorosis villages in 3 districts were investigated and all the villages had water improvement projects, in addition, the water improvement projects were operating normally, and the water fluoride content ranged from 0.10 to 0.37 mg/L, which were in line with the drinking water fluoride content standard (< 1.2 mg/L). Totally 2 503 children aged 8-12 years old were examined, the detection rate of dental fluorosis was 6.03% (151/2 503), the index of dental fluorosis was 0.13, the epidemic intensity was negative; the detection rates of dental fluorosis in 3 districts were 6.24% (129/2 068), 4.05% (7/173), 5.73% (15/262), respectively, reaching the control standard (< 30%), and the detection rate of dental fluorosis in 81 villages was less than 30%; 198 adults over 25 years old were examined, the detection rate of skeletal fluorosis was 5.05% (10/198), the geometric mean of urinary fluoride was 0.81 mg/L, and skeletal fluorosis cases were mainly in the age group over 40 years old, all of them were mild cases.Conclusions:The fluoride content in drinking water and the detection rate of children's dental fluorosis are all up to the control standard, and the condition of skeletal fluorosis is significantly reduced after the implementation of water improvement measures in Huangzhong, Ping'an and Ledu districts. It can be seen that the prevention and control of drinking water fluorosis in Huangzhong, Ping'an and Ledu districts have achieved good results, but later management and condition monitoring of water improvement projects should be strengthened to prevent the disease from rebounding.

Objective:To investigate the dietary iodine intake of people in different areas of Qinghai Province, and to provide the basis for scientific iodine supplementation and continuous elimination of iodine deficiency hazards.Methods:From 2018 to 2019, according to administrative division, natural geographical regions, population distribution and economic development level of Qinghai Province, a total of 14 survey sites were selected. One village was selected from each survey site, and 20 households were selected from each village, the salt samples and 24 h urine samples of all family members were collected to detect salt iodine and urinary iodine. One drinking water sample was collected at the five directions of east, west, south, north and middle of each village to detect water iodine. Salt iodine was detected by direct titration, urinary iodine and water iodine were detected by arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry. At the same time, the 3-day weighing method was used to investigate the diet, the daily dietary iodine intake per capita (the result was expressed as average) and the proportion of dietary iodine in urinary iodine were calculated, the daily dietary iodine intake per capita of different production modes (agricultural region and pastoral region), different geographical environment (Hehuang Valley, Qaidam Basin, Qilian Mountain and Qingnan Plateau), different nationalities (Han, Tibetan, Hui, Mongolian, Tu, Salar) and different economic levels (< 8 000, 8 000 -, 10 000 -, ≥12 000 Yuan) were compared.Results:A total of 999 people from 280 families were surveyed, including 511 males and 488 females. The median water iodine of each survey site was less than 10 μg/L, all of which were environmentally iodine-deficient areas. A total of 280 salt samples were collected, the median salt iodine was 26.0 mg/kg, and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 100% (280/280). A total of 999 urine samples were tested, and the median urinary iodine of people was 192.5 μg/L, which was at an appropriate level of iodine. There was no statistically significant difference ( t =-1.599, P > 0.05) in the daily dietary iodine intake per capita (28.53, 33.44 μg) of people in agricultural region ( n = 643) and pastoral region ( n = 356). The daily dietary iodine intake per capita (25.38, 33.30, 32.98, 34.79 μg) of people in Hehuang Valley ( n = 448), Qaidam Basin ( n = 125), Qilian Mountain ( n = 157), and Qingnan Plateau ( n = 269) were compared, the difference was statistically significant ( F = 2.883, P < 0.05); among them, the daily dietary iodine intake per capita in Hehuang Valley was lower than that in Qingnan Plateau ( P < 0.05). The daily dietary iodine intake per capita of different nationalities were compared, the difference was statistically significant ( F = 3.647, P < 0.05), Salar ( n = 68) and Tibetan ( n = 239) were higher (37.21 and 32.21 μg). The daily dietary iodine intake per capita (38.97, 17.01, 30.86, 33.14 μg) of annual per capita disposable income < 8 000 ( n = 194), 8 000-( n = 221), 10 000-( n = 302), ≥12 000 Yuan ( n = 282) were compared, the difference was statistically significant ( F = 9.407, P < 0.05). The proportions of dietary iodine in urinary iodine of various population ranged from 5.35% to 15.54%. Conclusions:The iodine nutrition of people in Qinghai Province is suitable, the dietary iodine intake of people is closely related to geographical environment, nationality and economic level. But the proportion of dietary iodine in urinary iodine is relatively low, the consumption of iodized salt is still the main way for people to intake iodine, and it is also the main measure to continuously eliminate the harm of iodine deficiency in Qinghai Province.
