Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2008;7(7):459-461
Objective To evaluate the value of serum granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF),interlukin-8(IL-8)and white blood cell count(WBC)in detecting acute surgical bacterial infections.Methods A total of 36 patients with infections and 32 with traumatic diseases admitted in Beijing Tongren Hospital without use of antibiotics before admission were recruited,as well as 30 normal healthy controls.Three milliliters of peripheral blood were collected from each of them.Serum G-CSF and IL-8 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results Of all the 68 patients,serum G-CSF Was(82±71)ng/L in average in those with infections,significantly higher than that in those with trauma(15±7)ng/L(P<0.01)and controls(7±4)ng/L(P<0.01).Conclusions Serum G-CSF may be used as a sensitive indicator for acute surgical bacterial infections.

BACKGROUND:Stem cel transplantation has been shown to have many advantages in treatment of diseases. Its application can treat various diseases in many systems such as nervous system, immune system and endocrine system. Its advantage is incomparable. These are al credit to the special abilities, including easy sample colection, strong self proliferative ability, wide differentiation range, repair of injured tissue and immunoloregulation. OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical effects of stem cel transplantation in treatment of nonunion. METHODS:A computer search was performed in CNKI database for articles concerning stem cel transplantation for nonunion published from 2005 to 2014. The key words were stem cels, nonunion in Chinese. 244 articles were analyzed, and typical literatures were further compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Stem cels have the abilities of self-renewal and differentiation. Their source is not limited, and the sample colection is convenient. Stem cels have smal injury to the donor, do not have immunogenicity, and have fewer complications. The cost is low. Stem cels are easily isolated and cultured, can proliferate infinitely, and provide a pathway for severe bone injury such as nonunion, bone defects and comminuted fracture. The deep study of stem cels creates a new direction for nonunion treatment, and has achieved certain results in clinical trials.

BACKGROUND:Health has been paid more and more attention in modern society, the health of those special groups, such as the elderly and the disabled, should also be brought to the forefront. As fitness equipment is more and more popular in contemporary, our focus should be transferred to the use of fitness equipment for these special groups.
OBJECTIVE:To put forward the design strategy of fitness equipment control interface, for the special groups to use common fitness equipment comfortably and conveniently.
METHODS:Based on the research of existing fitness equipment control interface, according to the usage habits and cognitive awareness of special groups on control interface, a new design strategy has been put forward using the general design method and ergonomics.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Based on the existing 45 kinds of exercise bikes, 84 kinds of running machines and 129 kinds of treadmil fitness equipments, we found that these equipments are designed for common users in the aspects of design and production process and control interface. Universal design is a design concept beyond the lack of capacity to meet the different needs of different populations, and designed products can reduce or even eliminate the difference in the ability of special populations and the general population in use. The new strategy makes design of fitness equipment control interface generalized and good man-machine interactive, which can meet the demand of the special groups and help them do fitness exercise to improve their health and body function.

Traditional capsule image collects and transmits analog image, with weak anti-interference ability, low frame rate, low resolution. This paper presents a new digital image capsule, which collects and transmits digital image, with frame rate up to 30 frames/sec and pixels resolution of 400 x 400. The image is compressed in the capsule, and is transmitted to the outside of the capsule for decompression and interpolation. A new type of interpolation algorithm is proposed, which is based on the relationship between the image planes, to obtain higher quality colour images. capsule endoscopy, digital image, SCCB protocol, image interpolation

Objective To investigate the radioprotective function and its mechanism of Sulforaphane (SF) in mice acute radiation-induced lung injury.Methods Totally 40 female C57BL/6J mice were equally divided into 5 groups randomly.Group A,treated by SF 3 mg/kg plus radiation;group B,treated by SF 5 mg/kg plus radiation;group C,treated by SF 10 mg/kg plus radiation;radiation group with a single dose of 12 Gy in 6 MV X-ray by a linear accelerator,and control group with sham radiation.The mice in drug group were administered intraperitoneally with different concentration of SF every other day from 7 d before irradiation to 7 d after irradiation,while the same volume of DMSO plus physiological saline solvent was given in the control and radiation groups.After being sacrificed at 14 d of SF administration,the pathomorphological changes of mice were observed in trauma lung tissue,the positioning and expression of NLRP3 was observed by immunohistochemical staining,the levels of IL-6,TNF-α and TGF-β1 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured by ELISA,the expressions of NLRP3 and IL-1β mRNA in lung tissue were assayed by qRT-PCR,the expressions of NF-κB p65,NLRP3 and IL-1β proteins in lung tissue were assayed by Western blot,the activity of NF-κB was detected by EMSA.Results In comparison with radiation group,there was an obvious amelioration in pathological injury of lung tissue in the treatment groups:the expression of NLRP3 in lung tissue decreased;the concentration of NLRP3 in the drug intervention group (SF 10 mg / kg) markedly decreased (F =42.750,P < 0.05).the IL-6,TNF-a and TGF-β1 levels in BALF decreased (tIL-6 =-62.65-21.00;tTNF-α =-32.18-16.57;tTGF-β1 =-58.22-46.11,P < 0.05);the expressions of NLRP3 and IL-1β mRNA markedly decreased (tNLRP3 =-6.56-5.68;tIL-1β =-29.75--21.20,P < 0.05),and the expressions of NF-κB p65,NLRP3 and IL-1β proteins decreased (tNF-κB p65 =-34.00--1.71,tNLRP3 =-25.01--16.91,tIL-1β =-73.70--55.14,P < 0.05);the relative expressions of NF-κB p65 and NLRP3 were reduced in a dose-dependent manner (r =0.945,0.926);and the activity of NF-κB were obviously reduced (tNF-κB =-38.68,-614.82,-2 831.40,P < 0.05).Conclusions Sulforaphane effectively alleviates the RILI in lung of mice by downregulating the expressions of inflammatory factor NLRP3.

Objective To analyze the incidence and risk factors of microalbuminuria in newly diagnosed and hospitalized type 2 diabetes mellitus patients,and to provide the theoretical basis for therapy of diabetes and diabetic chronic complications.Methods The blood glucose,lipid profile,24h-urinaryalbumin,fasting and postprandial serum insulin and peptid C were measured in 286 newly diagnosed and hospitalized type 2 diabetic patients from Mar.2006 to Sep.2009.Microalbuminuria was defined as the 24h-urinary albumin between 30 to 300 mg twice.Insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was recorded and all the patients received fundus examination by ophthalmologists after expansion of the pupil to ensure whether there was retinopathy or not.Results (1)The incidence rate of microalbuminuria in this study was 19.58% (56/286).(2)Normal albuminuria group and MA group combined DR were 19.57% (45/230) and 33.93 % ( 19/56 ) respectively,and the difference was statistically significant( x2 =5.349,P =0.021 ).Compared with control,the FPG,HbA1c and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in microalbuminuria group ( FPG:[ 11.08 ± 1.76 ] mmol/L vs [9.24 ±1.65]mmol/L,t =-6.148,P <0.001;HbA1c:[11.54 ± 1.59]% vs [9.39 ± 1.64]%,t =-7.533,P <0.001 ;HOMA-IR:[3.73 ±0.42] vs [3.50 ±0.30],t =-3.774,P <0.001 ).(3) Pearson correlation analysis revealed microalbuminuria was positively correlated with FPG( r =0.460),HbA1 c ( r =0.499),HOMA-IR( r =0.308)and combined DR(r =0.405)(P <0.01).(4)Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that FPG (ββ =- 0.804,P < 0.01 ),HbA1 c (β =- 0.455,P < 0.01 ) and combined DR (β =1.527,P < 0.05 ) were independently risk factors of microalbuminuria.Conclusion The development of microalbuminuria in newly diagnosed and hospitalized type 2 diabetic patients is associated with FPG,HbA1c and HOMA-IR,and will be easier to merge diabetic retinopathy.
