Objectives To compare the co-infection statues of HSV, HBV and HCV in patients with STD and HIV infection for providing evidence of developing prevention and control strategies. Methods Serum samples confirmed to be infected with HIV/AIDS by Western blot, and serum samples of patients with STDs (syphilis, gonorrhoea and chlamydial infection) were tested for HSV2-IgG, HSV2-IgM, HBsAg and HCV-IgG by ELISA. The detection levels were compared between the two groups. Results Out of 76 specimens in STD group, HSV2-IgG was detected in 24 specimens (31.58%), HSV2-IgM in one specimen (1.32%), HBsAg positive in 8 (10.53%), and HCV antibody positive in 4 (1.32%). In 14 specimens of HIV/AIDS group, HSV2-IgG were detected in 7 (50.00%); HSV2-IgM in 5 (35.71%);8 (578.14%) were positive for HBsAg and 3 (21.43%) for HCV. In a total of 90 specimens, both HSV and HBV were detected in 6 specimens, both HSV-IgM and HBV in 2, and the four above-mentioned antibodies in 2. The infection rates of HSV, HBV and HCV were significantly higher in HIV-infected specimens than those in the STD specimens (P

Objective To understand the malaria epidemic situation and characteristics in Jiangsu Province in 2012,so as to provide the evidence for formulating and adjusting effective malaria elimination strategies and measures. Methods The reported malaria cases from the Internet Reporting System and the epidemiological data of malaria in Jiangsu Province were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 198 malaria cases were reported in Jiangsu Province in 2012 with the incidence of 0.026/10 000, which decreased by 47.06%compared with that in 2011(374 cases). A total of 198 malaria cases were reported from 13 prefec-tures of Jiangsu and the cases were mainly distributed in Yangzhou(34 cases),Nantong(31 cases),Nanjing(22 cases),Tai-zhou(21 cases),Xuzhou(17 cases)and Huaian(17 cases),which accounted for 71.72%(142/198)among the total cases of the province. There were no local malaria cases reported from Jiangsu in 2012,and the imported malaria cases from other countries de-creased by 45.15%compared with that in 2011. Conclusions For the first time,there are no local malaria cases reported from Ji-angsu in 2012. However,the imported case distribution is further expanded and the infected plasmodium parasites are more di-verse. Imported malaria from other countries remains the key for malaria control in Jiangsu Province.

Objective To establish a fast and sensitive method to detect Plasmodium sporozoites in mosquitoes. Methods Anopheles anthropophagus (An.a) artificially infected with Plasmodium vivax (P.v), Anopheles dirus (An.d) infected with Plasmodium falciparum (P.f) and both of P.v and P.f, field mosquitoes of Anopheles sinensis (An.s) captured in epidemic seasons were detected by nested-PCR. Results The results of 28 batches of An.a infected with P.v, 2 batches of An.d with P.f and 1 batch of An.d mixed with P.v and P.f by nested-PCR were accorded with the microscopical examination absolutely. Two positives of 589 An.s field mosquitoes were discovered with a positive rate of 0.34%. Conclusion The nested-PCR is fast and sensitive for detecting different species of Plasmodium in mosquitoes.

In order to study the resistance of Neisseria (N.) gonorrhoeae to the fluoroquinolone and detect mutation patterns of quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of clinical isolates in Shanghai,China,a total of 80 clinical isolates of N.gonorrhoeae were consecutively collected from Shanghai.The MIC of fluoroquinolone for the isolates was examined by using the agar dilution method and the mutation profiles of the QRDRs of gyrA and parC were analyzed by sequencing and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).Chi-square test was used for comparison of the mutation patterns.The results showed that:(1) High percentages of the 8 isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin (95.0%),ofloxacin (95.0%) and lomefloxacin (97.5%),only one strain was susceptible to the ciprofloxacin.(2) Sensitive strains had a substitute of Asp95→Ala in the gyrA,and all isolates that were resistant or intermediated to the ciprofloxacin,had a double mutation in the gyrA (Set91,Ala 92 and Asp95).Some strains also had a mutation in the parC.(3) The MICs of these isolates were significantly associated with the mutation patterns in the gyrA and parC.A double mutation of gyrA combined with parC87 mutation was a predominant pattern in Shanghai and could mediate high level resistance to ciprofloxacin.It suggests that mutations in the QRDRs of gyrA and parC .may be re-sponsible for the fluoroquinolone resistance.And fluoroquinolone could not be used as the first line antibiotics for gonorrhea treatment any more in Shanghai,China.

Objective:To study the biomechanical basis of swan like memory compressive connector (SMC) for treating fractures and nonunions of humerus. Methods:The study was performed by electrometric, two and three dimensional (3D) photoelasticity techniques. By gauging and multiple time standardization, load strain curve was got, then the dynamic memory force of SMC was calculated. The dynamically compressive force of swan neck compressive part was calculated by 2D photoelasticity. By precision moulding, the epoxy resin 3D photoelasticity humeral model was established, then it was fixated by SMC, meanwhile, an epoxy resin cirque was used to share the continuously memorial compress. The 3D stress distribution of humeral model was got, and 6 space component stress of the inspected node was divided by Leize polarizing microscope. Results:The continuously memory force of SMC was 110.35 N. The longitudinal dynamical compressive memory force was 163.88 N. 3D photoelasticity method showed that the swan neck compressive part of SMC, swan body connecting part of SMC and swan wing holding part of SMC were in consistent with each other, memorably holding bone, 3D fixation style was formed, and overall stress distribution was produced.. Conclusion:The stress field produced by 3D memory fixation of SMC is good for the treatment of fractures and nonunions. Early function exercises are allowed, and the fracture healing is prompted.

Objective To analyze the occurrence of traumatic carotid cavemons fistula (TCCF) resulted from the fracture of basilaris cranii, in order to find out the related factors to outcomes and to discuss the approaches to improving prognosis.Method Data of 312 patients with the fracture of skull base complicatcd with TCCF con-firmed angiography from 1999 to 2005 were analyzed. These patients were classified into patients with disable and patients without disabed. The factors potentially impacting on outcomes were analyzed. Results The overall inci-dence of TCCF in 312 patients with fracture of basilaris cranii was 3.8% .The incideucs of TCCF occurred in pa-tients with the fracture of anterior fossa, middle fossa and posterior fossa accounted for 2.4%, 8.3 % and 1.7 %, respectively. Between two cohorts of patients, there were no difference in age, gender, number of embelization proce-dares performed and the time from injury to appearence of the first symptom except the differencc in time from ap-pearence of the first symptom to the intravascular embohzation performed (P>0.05). Conclusions A relatively high incidence of TCCF occurs in patients with middle fossa fractures, especially those with transverse or oblique fractures. Prompt diagnosis and intervention can not be emphasized in case of patients with TCCF, and non inva-sive techniques for the early detection of TCCF under certain circumstance after brain or facial trauma should be considered so as to avoid a miss in the early diagnosis of middle fossa fracture to ensure favourable outcomes.
