Objective To explore the effect of swimming and caressing on neonatal jaundice and weight.Methods Two hundred and forty newborns were divided equally into control and observation group with random digits table.The former received care with caressing and the latter with swimming and caressing.The two groups were compared in terms of weights and jaundice indices at birth and 7d after birth.Results Seven days after birth,the jaundice index in the observation group were lower than that of the control group and the weights of the observation group were larger(P<0.05).Conclusion Swimming and caressing are helpful for the development of neonates by C-sect and the reduction of jaundice duration.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of uterine artery embolization chemotherapy in the treatment of special site pregnancy .Methods 36 patients with special site pregnacy were randomly divided into the observation group and control group .The control group received uterine curettage after uterine artery embolization treatment,the observation group received bilateral uterine artery perfusion of methotrexate combined with uterine cu -rettage after embolization therapy .Time of-HCG returned to normal ,intraoperative blood loss ,hospitalization time and incidence rate of complications were compared between the two groups .Results After treatment,the time of -HCG returned to normal,intraoperative blood loss and hospitalization time in the observation group were (27.3 ±3.2)h, (120.5 ±18.3) mL,(85.6 ±8.4) h,which were significantly less than (76.4 ±8.2) h,(375.1 ±68.4) ml and (147.1 ±10.5)h in the control group (t=6.75,4.54,4.43,all P<0.05).The incidence rate of complication in the observation group was 16.8%,which was significantly lower than 50.1% in the control group (χ2 =4.49,P <0.05).Conclusion The uterine artery chemotherapy and embolization in the treatment of special parts of pregnancy can significantly shorten the hospitalization time and time of -HCG returned to normal ,reduce the intraoperative blood loss,the clinical effect is good ,it can be used as an effective method for the treatment of special site pregnancy .

Objective:To evaluate immune response of murine peritoneal macrophage challenging by methicillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)after pretreatment with Pam3Csk4(TLR2 agonist).Methods: Murine peritoneal macrophage was pretreated with Pam3Csk4(1 μg/ml).Following pretreatment 12 h later,heat-killed MRSA( HK-MRSA) was added and incubated for another 2 or 6 hours.The protein and mRNA level of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1 were determined by ELISA and Q-PCR, respectively.To estimate phagocytosis of macrophage,HK-MRSA/MSSA labeled with FITC( FITC-HK-MRSA/MSSA) were added to well and incubated for 30 min.After washing 5 times with PBS,intracellular FITC-HK-MRSA was detected by flow cytometry.To estimate antimicrobal activity of macrophage,live MRSA and MSSA were added to well and incubated at indication time,the CFU of s.aureus was estimated via a 10-fold serial dilution on agar media.cDNA was further quantitative assessed using primers for mouse FCR-Ⅰ,FCR-Ⅲ,CR-1,CR-3,iNOS and LL37 by Q-PCR .Results: Compared with saline-pretreated cell, the protein and mRNA level of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1 were markely reduced, respectively.However, both the phagocytosis and antimicrobal activity to S.aureus were significantly increased in macrophages pretreated with Pam3Csk4.Further study found that the macrophages had higher FCR-Ⅰ,FCR-Ⅲ,CR-1,CR-3,iNOS and LL37 expression at 6 h and 12 h post-stimulation Pam3Csk4.Conclusion: The results suggest that Pam3Csk4 could activate murine antimicrobal activity of peritoneal macrophage challenging by methicillin-resistant Saureus via increasing opsonophagocytosis in depended antibodies, complements manners.The results suggest Pam3Csk4 probably be a novel immunotherapy candidate against MRSA.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the surgery-first approach in sequential combined orthodontic-orthognathic treatment to shorten total treatment duration and improve the clinical outcome. Methods: This study included 185 patients with Angle classⅢ malocclusion. The patients were divided into 3 different types according to cephalometry analyses and facial features. ①Type Ⅰ: mandibular prognathism or asymmetry mandibular prognathism; ②Type Ⅱ: mandibular prognathism and maxillary retrusion; ③ Type Ⅲ: mild Angle′s Class Ⅲ malocclusion, cross bite in anterior teeth, or normal overlap and overbite relation with midfacial hypoplasia. All of patients received surgery first approach therapy. The surgical procedures were chosen according to different malformation types. Type Ⅰ was treated with the sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO). Type Ⅱ was treated by Le Fort Ⅰmaxillary osteotomy combined with SSRO. Type Ⅲ underwent anterior subapical osteotomy combined pyriform aperture augmentation with biomaterials as well as maxillary anterior orthodontics. All patients received postoperative rapid orthodontic treatment for 6-12 month after 2 weeks of operation. Using the straight arch wire techniques and the class Ⅲ intermaxillary traction, we removed the overcrowding upper and lower teeth, the compensatory axial tilt of teeth, and the deviation of the dental arch and maintained the neutral relationship of the molar. The mandible Hawley retaining devices were used during the maintaining stage. Results: The cases in study acquired satisfactory clinical outcome, which included the shortened overall treatment duration, the significantly improved facial features, the corrected occlusion relationship, and the restored function of mastication and temporomandibular joint. There were some complications as follows: intraoperative fracture (6 cases, 3.24%), the inferior alveolar nerve bundle injury (2 cases, 1.1%), and temporary open-bite that diminished by inter-maxillary elastic distraction one month after operation (19 cases, 10%). All cases in this study accepted postoperative orthodontic treatment. Follow-up time ranged from 6 months to 5 years. The cephalometric analysis results of 126 cases who had complete image data and over 6 months of follow-up showed that hard and soft tissue indexes were restored to normal range after combined orthognathic-orthodontic treatment. The stability of the maxillary and occlusive relationship of SFA(surgery-first approach) was similar to that of the COS(conventional orthodontics-first system) [relapse ratio=(T2-T1)/(T1-T0)×100%]. Over six months of follow-up , SNB and ANB showed that the average relapse ratio were 22% and 19.8%, whereas the relapse angle are less than 2°. Conclusions The Surgery-first approach could be used to treat most patients with Angle skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion, but the indications and the surgical procedures should be noticed and chosen.

BACKGROUND: The onset and clinical presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are sex-related. Few studies have investigated the distinctions in clinical characteristics and treatment preferences in male and female SLE patients in the initial cohort. This study aimed to improve the understanding of Chinese SLE patients by characterizing the different sexes of SLE patients in the inception cohort. METHODS: Based on the initial patient cohort established by the Chinese SLE Treatment and Research Group, a total of 8713 patients (795 men and 7918 women) with newly diagnosed SLE were enrolled between April 2009 and March 2021. Of these, 2900 patients (347 men and 2553 women) were eligible for lupus nephritis (LN). A cross-sectional analysis of the baseline demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory parameters, organ damage, initial treatment regimens, and renal pathology classification was performed according to sex. RESULTS: In the SLE group, as compared to female patients, male patients had a later age of onset (male vs. female: 37.0 ± 15.8 years vs. 35.1 ± 13.7 years, P  = 0.006) and a higher SLE International Collaborative Clinic/American College of Rheumatology damage index score (male vs. female: 0.47 ± 1.13 vs. 0.34 ± 0.81, P  = 0.015), LN (male vs. female: 43.6% vs. 32.2%, P < 0.001), fever (male vs. female: 18.0% vs. 14.6%, P  = 0.010), thrombocytopenia (male vs. female: 21.4% vs. 18.5%, P  = 0.050), serositis (male vs. female: 14.7% vs. 11.7%, P  = 0.013), renal damage (male vs. female: 11.1% vs. 7.4%, P < 0.001), and treatment with cyclophosphamide (CYC) (P < 0.001). The frequency of leukopenia (male vs. female: 20.5% vs. 25.4%, P  = 0.002) and arthritis (male vs. female: 22.0% vs. 29.9%, P < 0.001) was less in male patients with SLE. In LN, no differences were observed in disease duration, SLE Disease Activity Index score, renal biopsy pathological typing, or 24-h urine protein quantification among the sexes. In comparisons with female patients with LN, male patients had later onset ages (P  = 0.026), high serum creatinine (P < 0.001), higher end-stage renal failure rates (P  = 0.002), musculoskeletal damage (P  = 0.023), cardiovascular impairment (P  = 0.009), and CYC use (P  = 0.001); while leukopenia (P  = 0.017), arthritis (P  = 0.014), and mycophenolate usage (P  = 0.013) rates were lower. CONCLUSIONS Male SLE patients had more severe organ damage and a higher LN incidence compared with female SLE patients; therefore, they may require more aggressive initial treatment compared to female patients.
