Objective To Study on CXCR1/CXCR2 antagonist G31P anti-inflammatory reaction mediated by neutrophils.Methods Detect whether G31P can block chemotaxis of neutrophils induced by human IL-8 and inhibit the release of IL-8 by epithelia of segmental bronchus;establish HEK293 cell line transfected by pcDNA3.0-CXCR1 ,2,4 and detect the chemotaxis of IL-8 for HEK293 ;establish the experi-mental model of pneumonia induced by the P.aeruginosa,take count of the nucleated cells in the bronchoal-veolar lavage fluid(BALF),analyze myeloperoxidase(MPO) of lung tissue and observe the histopathology changing of it.Results G31P can inhibit the chemotaxis for neutrophils and transfected HEK293 cell line,inhibit the A549 releasing of inflammatory mediators;the proportion of neutrophils declines in G31P treat-ment group,pathology examination appears clear discrepancy.Conclusion G31P can block the chemotaxis of chemotactic factor with ELR+ CXC to neutrophils,block the combination of chemotactic factor with its re-ceptor CXCR2,block the CXCR2 on the surface of alveolar epithelia and vascular endothelial cells.Accordingly,neutrophils recruiting to topoinflammation can be prevented.

Insulin secretion and insulin resistance were evaluated in 152 subjects with normal glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and (or) impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). The data showed that subjects with IGT exhibited an evident deficit in the early and late phases of insulin secretion after glucose load and mild insulin resistance, and subjects with IFG demostrated evident insulin resistant and a great decline in early phase insulin response and HOMA-β.

OBJECTIVES:
Currently, the research results regarding the bilateral temporomandibular joint symmetry in patients at different ages with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) are still controversial. In this study, the position of condyle in the articular fossa and morphology of condyle in UCLP patients at different developmental stages was measured and analyzed to explore the asymmetry difference, which can provide a new theoretical basis for the sequential therapy.
METHODS:
A total of 90 patients with UCLP were divided into a mixed dentition group (31 cases), a young permanent dentition group (31 cases) and an old permanent dentition group (28 cases) according to age and dentition development. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were imported into Invivo5 software for 3D reconstruction, and the joint space, anteroposterior diameter, medio-lateral diameter, and height of condylar were measured, and its asymmetry index was calculated.
RESULTS:
The asymmetry index of condylar height and anteroposterior diameter among the 3 groups, from small to large, was the mixed dentition group
