As a node between the skull and the spine, atlantoaxial joint plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of head and neck activities, as well as the connection between the brains and the spine. The biomechanical characteristics of stlantoaxial joint, together with traumatic factors, contribute to determine the site, type and character of atlantoaxial joint fracture and dislocation, they also affect the treatment of atlantoaxial joint injury. With the materials technique development and accumulated experience of clinical operations, various types of new implants are increasing and used for clinical practice, accordingly the surgical approach and therapy regimen of atlantoaxial disease have been greatly enriched. At present, the use of implant mainly aims to promote the atlantoaxial fusion or enhance the connection and fixation between atlantoaxial joints. However, the head and neck activities are also limited simultaneously while the implant enhances the atlantoaxial joint stability. Further studies require to handle the correlation between joint stability and joint flexibility and to maximize the physiological function recovery of atlantoaxial joints when ensuring the atlantoaxial joint stability.

Present study investigated the effect of endotoxin from Bacteroides melaninogenicus ATCC 25845 on release of colony-stimulating factor (CSF)in mice. The bone marrow cells were cultured in semisolid agar medium,the number of colonies was as a level index of CSF. The results showed that as much as 0.1?g endotoxin could induce the release of CSF,moreover, The level of CSF increased with dose of endotoxin untill 50 ?g. The colony-stimulatin factor level of B. melaninogenicus endotoxin was 66.6?8.5(CFU-C). This endotoxin showed significant effect on bone marrow cells of mice.

Objective To study the association between three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP; rs2241766,rs1501299 and rs12495941) variants of the adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in PCOS family trios.Methods A total of 224 unrelated PCOS probands,their biological parents were recruited.Anthropometric variables such as waist circumference (WC),hip circumference (HC),height and weight were measured in all subjects during the first visit to the outpatient department.Body mass index (BMI) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) were calculated.Serum fasting glucose (FBG),fasting insulin (FINS),total cholesterol (TC),triglycerides (TG),low-density lipoprotein and highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) levels were measured.PCOS patients were divided into two groups based on BMh group A (BMI＜25 kg/m2) and group B (BMI≥25 kg/m2).Parents of PCOS patients were accordingly categorized into group C,D (fathers) and group E,F (mothers).The transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) was used to analyze the association between three SNP of ADIPOQ and PCOS.Results (1) A significant positive association was detected between SNP rs1501299 and PCOS (x2=7.093,P=0.008).However we failed to find significant overtransmission of the other two SNP rs2241766 and rs12495941 from parents to PCOS offsprings (x2=1.620,P=0.203; x2=0.713,P=0.398).(2) Linkage disequilibrium (LD) was analyzed in the subjects,rs1501299 and rs2241766 were in weak LD (r2=0.063,D'=0.621).(3) The levels of WC,HC,WHR,testosterone,TG,HDL and FINS were significantly differences between obese and lean PCOS patients (P＜0.05).While in fathers we only found WC,HC,TC levels being statistically different (P＜ 0.05).Mothers of obese PCOS patients had increased levels of FINS compared with mothers of lean PCOS patients (P＜0.05).The genotype frequencies of the three SNP were not different in obese and lean PCOS patients and their parents (P＞0.05).Conclusions TDT confirms that SNP rs1501299 in the ADIPOQ is significantly associated with the risk of PCOS in the Chinese Han population.The three SNP of the ADIPOQ were not associated with the obesity of PCOS.

This study was aimed to exploreBi-Min-Gan (BMG) granules induced immune tolerance for allergic rhinitis cases through changes of Treg cells to achieve the goal of treatment. SD rats were used as experimental animal, which were divided into the blank group, model group and BMG granules group. Allergic rhinitis rat model was established. Intragastric administration of BMG granules was given. Levels of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg and IL-4, IL-10, TGF-β1, IL-13 were detected with flow cytometry and ELISA assay. The results of flow cytometry showed that CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg decreased after the successful establishment of the model (P<0.05); but it increased after treatment of BMG granules (P<0.05) to reach the level of the normal blank group (P>0.05). ELISA showed the concentrations of IL-10 and TGF-β1 decreased significantly after the successful establishment of the model (P<0.0001); concentrations of IL-4 and IL-13 increased significantly (P<0.0001). While, after treatment of BMG granules, concentrations of IL-10 and TGF-β1 in blood rebound but did not reach the level of the normal blank group;concentrations of IL-4 and IL-13 in the blood decreased but did not reach the level of the normal blank group. It was concluded that BMG granules can upregulate the number of Treg cells in allergic rhinitis rat, increase the secretion of IL-10 and TGF-β1, inhibit Th2 cell activity, and reduce secretion of IL-4 and IL-13, so as to improve symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

Objective To study the clinical significance of end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PetCO2 ) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and seek the fixed value according which to decide if we should and when to give up.Methods This was a prospective,observational study.A total of 124 patients with cardiac arrest in or out-of-hospital from may 2003 to March 2009 in emergency department of our hospital were selected.All of them had definite etiological factors.Changes of PetCO2 in 124 cardiac arrest patients during CPR were tracked.Results The gender,age,rescue time in seventy-one patients with the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after endotracheal intubation have a significant difference with that in fifty-three patients without ROSC (P ＜0.01 ).The PetCO2 of the survival were higher than that of patients without ROSC or with ROSC,but finally died (P ＜0.01 ).A fixed point 14.4 mmHg of PetCO2 after 20 minutes' CPR can be used as a reference value to guide CPR or predict prognosis.Conclusions Monitoring PetCO2 during CPR has a predictive value on the success of resuscitation.
