Objective To explore the clinical results of cervical cerclage in the treatment of cervical incom -petence.Methods Selected 63 cases of cervical incompetence of pregnant women ,according to the patient′s treat-ment voluntarily that they were divided into the observation group (cervical cerclage +conservative therapy)40 cases and the control group (conservative therapy)23 cases,indicators of pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups .Results There were 3 cases the late abortions ,8 cases premature deliveries ,29 cases full-term pregnan-cies in the observation group ,there were 9 cases the late abortions ,9 cases premature deliveries ,5 cases full -term pregnancies in the control group,using test,there were the differences of the statistical significants between them (χ2 =16.623,P<0.01);In the observation group,there were 0 case the late abortions,6 cases premature deliveries, 20 cases full-term pregnancies at 10~16 gestational weeks among 20 cases,there were 9 cases the late abortions,9 cases premature deliveries ,5 cases full-term pregnancies at 17~25 gestational weeks among the other 20 cases,using test,there were the differences of the statistical significants between the two time stages (χ2 =10.882,P<0.05). Conclusion For pregnant women with cervical incompetence ,cervical cerclage was made early in the pregnancy ,can extend effectively the gestational times ,improve the fetal survival .

Objective To explore the abdomen surgical incision infection risk factors,and to put forward prevention countermeasures.Methods 1 854 patients with abdominal surgery were selected as subjects.According to whether had surgical incision infection,they were divided into the infection group(76 cases)and the non -infection group(1 778 cases).Single factor analysis and Pearson correlation analysis were used to summarize abdominal surgical incision infection risk factors.Results Single factor analysis results showed that age,BMI,category of incision,operation timing,operation time,diabetes mellitus,drainage tube placement,summer were risk factors for abdominal surgery incision infection (t or χ2 =8.925,5.840,5.376,5.445,5.846,19.674,5.846,19.674,all P <0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that age,BMI,category of incision,operation timing,operation time,diabetes mellitus, drainage tube placement and summer surgery were risk factors for abdominal surgery incision infection (r =0.746, 0.689,0.746,0.689,0.691,0.548,0.760,0.548,all P <0.05).Conclusion Abdominal surgery incision infection is associated with many factors.It is necessary for all kinds of risk factors for targeted intervention to reduce incision infection rate.

Objective To study the effect of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) on the suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) in the kidney of MRL/lpr mice and evaluate the protection of HCQ on lupus nephritis.Methods Twenty-six rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:the control group which was consisted of 6 mice; the MRL/lpr group which was consisted of 10 mice; and the HCQ group which was consisted of 10.24-hour urinary protein level and anti dsDNA levels were tested.The expressions of SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 protein were determined by western blot.Analysis of variance was used to determine statistically significant differences between the two groups.A P value less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of 24-hour urinary protein [(2 356.6±509.3) mg vs (440.3±90.1)mg] and anti ds-DNA (128.7±32.3 vs 14.9±1.4) were significantly increased in the MRL/lpr group,the expression levels of SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 protein were increased.After treated with HCQ,the levels of 24-hour urinary protein [(70.8±11.1) mg vs (2 356.6±509.3) mg] and anti-dsDNA (111.8±330.1 vs 128.7±32.3)were significantly decreased,the expression level of SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 protein decreased significantly (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion HCQ can inhibit SOCS expression in the kidney of lupus mice,reduce proteinuria and delay progression of immune disorders and lupus nephritis.

Objective To examine the relationships among measures of gait recovery and community integra-tion index in people with brain injury.Methods 142 brain injured patients were chosen in this study.Community Balance and Mobility Scale,Dynamic Gait Index,Ten-Meter Walk Test for gait speed,and the Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ) was measured.Results Average walk speed was 0.31-5.30 (1.36 ±0.88)m/s;DGI score was 5-24 (18.6 ±5.44) points;CMBS score was 0 -96 (54.1 ±25.3) points;CIQ subscale 6 -29 (16.2 ± 5.1)points,CIQ family subscale was 0-10 (4.8 ±3.0)points;CIQ society subscale was 4-12(8.2 ±2.1)points;CIQ productivity subscale was 0-7(3.8 ±2.2).The correlation between age and Ten-Meter Walk Test was nega-tive significantly (r=-0.50,P<0.05).All 3 balance/gait measures correlated significantly with the CIQ Productiv-ity subscale (r=0.35-0.58,P<0.05).Conclusion The ability of people with brain injury to engage in work/school/volunteer activity may be reduced by impairments in balance and mobility.

In order to study of etiology, pathogenesis, and therapy of endometriosis(EM) through animal models, we review the literature on rodent and primate models of endometriosis, including establishment of models and their applications.We hope that animal models provide useful tools for the studies of endometriosis.

Objectives To investigate the outcomes of neonatals with abnormal hepatitis B virus (HBV) serological markers. Methods Twenty-eight neonatals who had abnormal HBV serological markers and whose mothers had positive HBsAg, HbeAg and HbcAb were studied. Among them, 21 neonatals who had positive HBsAg, HbeAg and HbcAb were included in vertical transmission group;7 neonatals who had positive HbeAg, HbcAb and negative HBsAg were included in suspicious group. The quantities of HBV serological markers were determined by time-resolved immunofluorometric assay (IFMA) and the level of HBV DNA were measured by fluorescence quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR). Results Serum HBeAg and HBsAg levels in suspi-cious group were lower than those in vertical transmission group (P<0.05). The results showed that HBeAg level (0.55 ± 0.19 PEIU/ml) three months after birth was lower than that (4.02 ± 2.00 PEIU/ml) 7 days after birth in suspicious group (P<0.05). Conclusions Early interference has positive effect in mothers and neonatls with abnormal HBV serological markers.

L-Carnitine plays an essential role in the transfer of long chain fatty acids from the cytoplasm of a cell into the mitochondrion,where they undergo ?-oxidation.Carnitine deficiency is characterized by plasma and tissue carnitine concentrations below those required for the normal functions of the organism,including cardiomyopathy,myopathy,hypoketonemia,hypoglycemia,hyperammonemia.Studies show that supplement of carnitine could improve the clinical symptoms of some diseases.

Objective To compare expression and distribution of CD68 protein and TRAP positive protein in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), and normal synovial tissues to study the differentiation of osteoclast in synovial tissues obtained from AS patients and its role in the pathogenesis of bone destruction in AS. Methods Immunohistochemical analysis was performed using CD68 monoclonal antibody to detect CD68 expression, and the distribution of TRAP positive cells in the synovial tissues was examined by enzyme histochemistry in 13 AS, 16 RA, 17 OA patients and 6 healthy controls. The above two variables were quantified in the labeled sections by digital image analysis and semiquantitative analysis to compare the expression of CD68 positive cells in different patient groups and normal subjects. Results Positive CD68 staining was seen in synovial cells from all the patients with AS, RA, OA and normal subjects, and the expression levels of CD68 from patients with AS and RA were higher than those from OA patients and healthy subjects. The CD68 positive cells were abundant mainly in lining layer. In areas where elevated RANKL expression levels were present, the number of TRAP positive cells was found significantly increased in AS and RA synovium. TRAP positive cells were rarely observed in synovium from OA patients and normal controls. There was positive correlation between the number of TRAP positive cells and the RANKL expression (r=0.442, P=0.043) in RA patients. Conclusions An obvious increase in the number of CD68 positive cells and TRAP positive cells in synovium may provide a main source of osteoclastogenesis in AS patients. The up-regulation of activity and quantity of osteoclast may have an important role in peripheral articular destruction in patients with AS.
