Conclusion The proposed triple level registration strategy is a registration strategy to be able to harmonize precision, speed and disregistrated rate effectively.

Objective To study the relationship between common photoallergens and melasma.Methods Twenty allergens were selected according to the National Diagnostic Criteria for Photosensitive Dermatitis induced by cosmetics,National Diagnostic Criteria for Contact Dermatitis induced by cosmetics and National Diagnostic Criteria for Occupational Skin Diseases.Based on the standard procedures for photopatch test recommended by the British Photodermatology Group (BPG),photopatch test was performed on 50 patients with melasma and 30 normal controls.Results The positivity rate of photopatch test was 48.0%(24/50)in patients suffering from melasma,significantly higher than in the controls[23.33%(7/30),P<0.05].Conclusion Patients with melasma appear more likely to have positive photopatch test than normal controls.

In the magnetic induction tomography(MIT) system,the electrical conductivity of biological tissue is direct proportion to the phase difference between the excitation signal and the detection signal.To obtain the image of the contribution of tissue's electrical conductivity,the system must have the function of phase detection with high accuracy.The paper focuses on the means of digital phase detection,including FFT method,the correlation method and the classic method,which are ultimately compared with analogue phase detection method.The experimental results show that FFT method and the correlation method,with low error level and high linearity,can better detect the phase difference with the level of 0.1?.The digital phase difference detection provides a kind of effective method for MIT system.

BACKGROUND: Al ogeneic hematopoietic stem cel transplantation is the main method to cure leukemia, but the patients receiving al ogeneic hematopoietic stem cel transplantation stil have to face the risk of recurrence. Myeloid sarcoma is a rare extramedul ary relapse mode with worse clinical outcomes, so it is necessary to understand the characteristics of myeloid sarcoma and relative treatment methods. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment methods of myeliod sarcomas in cardio-phrenic angle after al ogeneic peripheral blood stem cel transplantation. METHODS: One case was diagnosed as single myeloid sacoma in the cardio-phrenic angle after al ogeneic peripheral blood stem cel transplantation. The patient underwent surgical resection of the mass, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The clinical effect, complications and survival situation were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The patient suffered from bacteremia, fungal pneumonia and even life-threatening sepsis shock during two courses chemotherapies. Then, the patient received radiotherapy for mediastinum and the myeloid sacoma never relapsed. However, the patient suffered central nervous system leukemia after free of the disease for 25 months. Myeliod sarcoma after al ogeneic hematopoietic stem cel transplantation is rare and its manifestation is changeful. The diagnosis mainly depends on histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, second transplantation and molecular targeted drugs are the choices of treatment strategy. However, the optimal treatment strategy for individual patients remains to be determined.

Objective To investigate the adjuvant effect of dimo-thylidioctyl ammonium bromide (DDA) and/or DDA-BCG polysaccharide nucleic acid( BCG-PSN), which was combined with a Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein AMM ( Ag 8 5 B - MPT64190-198 - Mtb8.4 ) to boost BCG primed immunization. Methods DDA with or without BCG PSN was mixed with the fusion protein AMM to construct the boosting vaccine. Mice were immunized with BCG and then boosted twice with AMM formulated with the adjuvant DDA with or without BCG-PSN. PBS or BCG vaccination without boosting was used as control. The humoral and cell-mediated immune responses were analyzed by ELISA and ELISPOT. Moreover, the protective efficacy of BCG prime-AMM subunit vaccine boosting against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection was analyzed. Results With in vitro stimulation of Ag85B and PPD( purified protein derivative) antigen, the number of IFN-γ secreting cells from the mice boosted twice by AMM/DDA/BCG-PSN and AMM/DDA were higher than BCG and PBS group (P <0.05). The CFU in lungs of mice boosted with AMM/DDA/BCG-PSN was less than that of PBS group(P <0.05), while the CFU of AMM/DDA-boosted mice was less than that of BCG and PBS group(P < 0.05).However, fewer lesions were seen in lungs of mice immunized with BCG alone or BCG-prime-AMM/DDA/BCG-PSN boosting than the other groups. Conclusion DDA is an idea adjuvant for tuberculosis subunit vaccine;BCG-PSN might play a role in alleviating the immunity-mediated pathology.

Methods Via exposing to a series of X￣ray (2, 4, 6, 8 Gy, 3 times for each dose), radio￣resistant cell subline CNE￣2R was established from human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell CNE￣2.Radiosensitivity was detected by clone formation assay.CNE￣2R and CNE￣2 cell lines were exposed to 25, 50, 75 μmol.L-1 celecoxib, respectively.Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of COX￣2.Clone formation assay was performed to measure the survival fraction of CNE￣2 and CNE￣2R after radiotherapy alone or radiotherapy combined with 30 μmol.L-1 celecoxib treatment.Flow cytometry was used to measure influence of radiotherapy alone or radiotherapy combined with 30 μmol.L￣1celecoxib treatment on cell apoptosis.Number of residual γ￣H2AX foci was observed by immunofluorescence assay. Results The colony forming assay demonstrated that the values of SF2, D0 , Dq , and N of CNE￣2R cell subline [(0.81±0.05), (2.15±0.07) Gy, (2.94±0.08) Gy, (3.91±0.07), respectively] was significant higher than those of CNE￣2 cell line [(0.61±0.08), (1.47±0.06) Gy, (1. 68 ± 0. 10) Gy, (3. 13 ± 0. 05), respectively]. The expression of COX￣2 protein was significantly downregulated with increasing celecoxib concentration.Surviving fraction was decreased in both CNE￣2 and CNE￣2R cell lines after irradiation.After radiotherapy combined with celecoxib, apoptosis rates of CNE￣2 and CNE￣2R cell lines [(13.10±0.63)%, (5.30±0.75)%] were higher than those of the corresponding control groups [(4.90±0.71)%, (1.82±0.82)%].Celecoxib increased radiosensitivity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE￣2R and CNE￣2 cell lines.The number of residual γ￣H2AX foci after irradiation was increased by celecoxib pretreatment.The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Celecoxib can enhance radiosensitivity of radio￣resistant cell subline CNE￣2R of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma in vitro.

The aim of this study was to compare the pain experience among orthodontic patients treated with self-ligating brackets SmartClip® (3M Unitek, Monrovia, California, USA) and conventional brackets Victory series® (3M Unitek, Monrovia, California, USA). We used a controlled clinical trial study design to compare 69 patients treated with self-ligating to 70 patients treated by conventional brackets. The nickel-titanium archwires 0.012-in were engaged after bonding both arches on the first day; and the visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the pain experience of subjects for the first seven treatment days. The pre-treatment dental study models were assessed by the Little’s irregularity index to quantify the groups’ malalignment characteristics. The self-ligating brackets reported lower pain experience than the conventional group on the first five treatment days. However, the sixth day showed 1.75 mm higher visual analogue score than conventional brackets, with almost equal pain level on the seventh day. The group differences throughout the first week were neither clinically nor statistically significant. The pain experiences in both groups decreased steadily from the third treatment day to the end of the first week of treatment. Based on the study findings, the pain experience during initial alignment is not influenced by the brackets’ ligation type. The pain experience tends to decrease steadily from the third treatment day to the end of the first week of treatment irrespective of the bracket type used.

BACKGROUND:Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) in the synovial lining layer are related to the cell proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis as well as bone resorption in rheumatoid arthritis. OBJECTIVE:To compare the migration and invasion abilities of FLS (MH7A) in rheumatoid arthritis and normal FLS (HFLS). METHODS:The capacities of cell migration and invasion were evaluated by Transwell cell migration and invasion assays. The primers of the indicated microRNAs were designed and synthesized, and the expression levels of miRNAs were determined by real-time PCR according to the SYBR?PrimeScript?miRNA RT-PCR Kit instruction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:MH7A possessed stronger migration and invasion abilities than HFLS. Compared with HFLS, obviously upregulated miR-132, -155, -203, -223 and -124, and significantly downregulated miR-15a, -16, 18a, -19a, -26a and -146a were found in MH7A. These findings suggest that the differentially expressed 11 kinds of rheumatoid arthritis-associated miRNAs participate in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis probably by enhancing the migration and invasion capacities of MH7A.
