Objective:To investigate the feasibility of improving the corrosion resistance of nickel-chromium alloys by the means of cryogenic treatment. Methods:16 disk samples were divided into 4 groups, including control group(C), cryotreat group(E1),tempering after cryotreat group(E2) and simulative porcelain sintering after cryotreat group(E3). All samples were subjected to electrochemical potentiodynamic polarization after immersed in the artificial saliva ISO/TR 10271:1993(E) pH 6.8 for 24 h at ambient temperature. The metallography of all groups were observed by SEM. Results:①Cryogenic treatment elevated the pitting corrosion potential and dropped the corrosion current of Ni-Cr alloys. Following simulative porcelain sintering,as well as tempering after cryotreat, decreased the corrosion current. But the corrosion potential of Ni-Cr alloys fell after cryotreat and following simulative porcelain sintering. Tempering after cryotreat did not affect the pitting corrosion potential. ②Much small secondary substance separated out and evenly distributed along the crystals of Ni-Cr alloys after cryotreat. Conclusion:Cryogenic treatment effectively improves the electrochemical corrosion resistance of Ni-Cr alloys, and tempering following cryotreat is unnecessary. It is not recommended to sintering porcelain after cryogenic treatment.

Objective To analyze the typing and clinical characteristics of neurosyphilis and provide evidences to improve early diagnostic.Methods Retrospective study of 18 cases of neurosyphilis was performed.Results Acute or subacute onset was observed in most cases; The interstitial neurosyphilis was the commonest, of which the clinical features varied widely and arose primarily from corresponding vascular infarctions; CSF examination revealed increase in pressure, protein and cells.TPHA and RPR were of the highest specificity among the serologic indexes;CT/MRI findings of brain revealed multiple, asymmetrical lesions which were different from those of infarctions caused by hypertension or arteriosclerosis.Conclusion Misdiagnosis rate is high at the initial reception.The clinical manifestations of neurosyphilis are closely related to pathological types. The lab tests and radiological findings are important clues to early diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the expression of microRNA (miR)-938, its effect on cell proliferation and its regulatory mechanism in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:HCC and paracancerous tissues were collected from 40 patients with HCC who underwent surgical resection in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from January 2015 to June 2019, including 25 males and 15 females, with an average age of 61.4 years. HepG2 cells in the miR-938 overexpression group were transfected with miR-938 mimics, and the negative control group was transfected with the negative control sequence. Cell proliferation was detected by kit, the expression of miR-938 and the succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit D (SDHD) was detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and SDHD protein expression was detected by Western blot. The target genes of miR-938 were verified by dual luciferase reporting.Results:The relative expression of miR-938 in HCC tissues was (0.060±0.002), which was higher than that in adjacent tissues (0.030±0.002), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The mRNA relative expression of SDHD in HCC tissues was (0.028±0.002), lower than that in adjacent tissues (0.062±0.002), and the protein expression of SDHD in HCC tissues was (0.963±0.008), lower than that in adjacent tissues (1.083±0.037), with statistical significance (both P<0.05). The proliferation activity of miR-938 overexpression group was significantly higher than that of negative control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). MiR-938 significantly inhibited the luciferase activity of SDHD wild-type 3’-untranslated regions. In the overexpression miR-938 cells, SDHD mRNA and protein levels were significantly lower than those in the negative control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:MiR-938 was highly expressed in HCC tissues. MiR-938 promoted the proliferation of HCC cells by inhibiting the expression of SDHD.

BACKGROUND:Spinal tuberculosis seldom involves cervical vertebra. The application of anti-tuberculosis drug has slight effects on patients combined with nerve dysfunction and severe vertebral destruction, which results in unstable cervical vertebra. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate biocompatibility of graft and host after one-stage anterior debridement graft fusion and internal fixation in the repair of adult cervical tuberculosis. METHODS: A total of 14 patients who suffered from cervical tuberculosis were admitted into Department of Spinal Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital, Xinjiang Medical University between May 2010 and June 2012. They underwent Zephir anterior cervical plate for one-stage anterior debridement graft fusion and internal fixation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with pre-fixation, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein and visual analog scale score were lower in final folow-up (P < 0.05), and Japanese Orthopaedic Association score increased (P < 0.05). Except that Frankel grade recovered to grade D from grade C in one case, Frankel grade did not alter in the remaining patients. Compared with pre-fixation, Cobb angle was apparently shortened in seven patients with kyphosis. Folowing internal fixation, bone trabecula was visible between the vertebral body and graft region after fixation. No displacement, bone resorption, nonunion or pseudoarthrosis occurred. Neck pain and limited function relieved or disappeared to different degrees after fixation. These findings suggest this method can effectively treat cervical tuberculosis. Moreover, the biocompatibility of the plate and host is good.

Objective To detect biofilm formation and biofilm-associated genes of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in clinical isolates. Methods The biofilm were determined by microtiter plate assay (MPA) and congo red agar (CRA) and the biofilm-associated genes icaA,sarA,fnbA,fnbB were detected by PCR in 33 strains of MRSA in clinical isolates. Results Of the 33 MRSA isolates, 29(87.9%) were MPA positive, 16(48.5%) were CRA positive; The icaA gene was present in 39.4% of isolated strains. Furthermore, 69.7% of strains harboured the sarA gene, 39.4% were fnbA positive and 75.8% were fnbB positive. As many as 87.9% strains had the ability to form biofilm in vitro. 44.8% of MRSA formed biofilm in ica-dependent mechanism and 55.2% of MRSA isolates formed biofilm in ica-independent mechanism. Of the biofilm positive MRSA, 75.9% were sarA positive, 37.9% were fnbA positive and 79.3% were fnbB positive. Conclusion Most of the MRSA strains formed biofilm in ica-independent mechanism. fnbB and sarA gene shows higher frequency among the biofilm-associated genes of MRSA, it may infer that most of the MRSA strains biofilm formation are fnbB-mediated. Meanwhile, sarA may be a positive regulator of fnbB, and thus drives the biofilm formation.
