Objective To elucidate the mechanism of SSA/Ro formation after UV exposure,and its significance in the pathogenesis of photosensitive LE skin lesion.Methods Human keratinocytes(HKC)were cultured in Medium-154.After ultraviolet-B light(UVB)irradiation,the morphological change of apoptotic HKC was observed under phase contrast microscopy,the DNA fragment of apoptotic cell was de-tected by in situ nick end-labeling.And the expression of SSA/Ro was detected by indirect immunofluores-cence(IIF).As target cells,UVB irradiated keratinocytes were incubated with affinity-purified anti-SSA/Ro sera,with or without freshly prepared human sera.SSA/Ro antigen from supernatant of irradiated ker-atinocytes was also detected with an ELISA method.Results The treatment of keratinocytes with serial dos-es(52.8mJ/cm 2 ?105.6mJ/cm 2 ?158.4mJ/cm 2 ?200mJ/cm 2 ?211mJ/cm 2 )of UVB induced SSA/Ro expression on cell membrane and apoptosis,leading to apoptotic bleb formation on cell surface,which were proved con-taining SSA/Ro and ribonucleoprotein.SSA/Ro antigen expressed on UVB irradiated keratinocytes was proved to be bound to affinity purified anti-SSA/Ro sera and lead to complement-depend cytotoxicity.But no SSA/Ro in supernatant was detected.Conclusions UVB irradiation induces SSA/Ro expression on the HKC sur-face through apoptosis,and no SSA/Ro antigen was found in supernatant.The result suggests that SSA/Ro anti-gen expressed on UVB irradiated keratinocytes could be recognized and presented to immune cells by direct cell-cell contact.

BACKGROUND: It has been proved that interleukin-18 (IL-18) involves in the development of acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and is positively correlated with the time of brain stroke onset, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), as well as neurological deficit and low-density value of brain CT.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the dynamic changes of serum IL-18 in the course of ACI.DESIGN: Verification analysis with patients as subjects and healthy volunteers as controls.SETTING: Department of neurology of a municipal hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 46 inpatients (29 males and 17 females) with ACI were randomly selected from the Department of Neurology of People's Hospital, Maoming City, between December 2002 and January 2004.Meanwhile, 40 healthy controls (27 males and 13 females) were recruited from those who came to the hospital for routine physical examination. All the participants signed informed consent.METHODS: Fasting peripheral vein blood of 2 mL was collected from the patients on the 1st, 7rh, 14th and 21st days of ACI onset, and from healthy controls on the day of routine examination. The blood samples were centrifuged at 3 000 r/minute for 15 minutes at 4 ℃, and then the supernatant was collected for detecting IL-18 level by ELISA.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The serum IL-18 level of patients on the 1st, 7th 14th and 21st days of ACI onset and that of healthy controls on the day of routine examination.RFSULTS: Totally 46 patients and 40 healthy controls were enrolled in this study and all data were statistically analyzed. The level of serum IL-18 was significantly higher in the patients with ACI than in normal controls on the 1st and 7th days of onset [(178±41) ng/L, (104±34) ng/L, (65±14) ng/L, P ＜ 0.01],but was similar on the 14th and 21st days [(88±36) ng/L, (72±33) ng/L,(65±14) ng/L, P＞ 0.05]. The level of serum IL-18 in ACI patients was significantly higher on the 1st day than on the 7th, 14th and 21 st days of the onset (P ＜ 0.05-0.01); moreover, it was also significantly higher on the 7th day than on the 21st day of the onset (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: The level of IL-18 increases obviously on the 1st day of ACI onset, and gradually decreases with the extended course of disease and time of treatment.

Objective To study the current status of antimicrobial resistance of clinical Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates in China by analyzing the surveillance results in 2008.Methods N. gonorrhoeae strains were collected from 951 eligible patients at national monitoring sites for resistance of N. gonorrheae,including 156 patients from Jiangsu province,71 from Zhejiang province,102 from Fujian province,207 from Guangdong province,77 from Guangxi province,43 from Hainan province,80 from Sichuan province,44 from Chongqing,45 from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,72 from Shaanxi province,and 54 from Tianjin.The production of β-lactamase was detected by paper acidometric testing,and minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs)were determined by agar dilution method for spectinomycin,ciprofloxacin,cefiriaxone,tetracycline,respectively.Results Among the 951 N. gonorrhoeae isolates,2(0.21%)were resistant to spectinomycin,451(47.42%)showed reduced sensitivity to ceflriaxone,928(97.58%)were resistant to ciprofloxacin.Penicillinase-producing N.gonorrhoeae (PPNG) and plasmid mediated tetracycline-resistant N. gonorrhoeae (TRNG) accounted for 34.91%(332/951)and 51.21%(487/951) of these isolates respectively.Kendall rank correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between the positivity rate of TRNG and PPNG(r=0.20,P<0.01),but a negative correlation between the susceptibility to cefiriaxone in N.gonorrhoeae and positivity rate of PPNG(r=-0.09,P<0.01).No correlation was observed between the susceptibility to cefiriaxone and susceptibility to ciprofloxacin or the positivity rate of TRNG,or between the susceptibility to ciprofloxacin and positivity rate of PPNG or TRNG.Chi-square analysis showed a marked increase in the percentage of N.gonorrhoeae isolates with reduced susceptibility to ceftriaxone in Guangxi province,Hainan province,Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Shaanxi province,the percentage of N.gonorrhoeae isolates with resisitance to spectinomycin in Shaanxi province,prevelance of TRNG in Guangdong province,and prevelance of PPNG in Sichuan and Zhejiang provinces compared with the average level (all P<0.05).Conclusions Thero is a significant diffefence in antimicrobial susceptibility of N.gonorrhoeae from difierent areas of China.A significant elevation is observed in the percentage of N.gonorrhoeae with reduced susceptibihty to cefifiaxone and resistance to spectinomycin in Shaanxi province.to which close attention should be paid.

Objective This study aimed to survey students' satisfaction and cognitive attitude of elaborate course of social medicine to provide a basis for exploring appropriate teaching mode. Methods Purposive sampling was used with questionnaire to survey 646 students who had learned social medicine in 5 universities in Guangdong province. The survey included the social medicine curriculum, teaching situation, students' satisfaction and cognitive attitude of elaborate course of so-cial medicine. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to describe the demographic characteristics and curriculum. The t test and one-way ANOVA were used to compare the means of students' satisfaction and cognitive attitude of elaborate course in different universities, using the test level of 0.05. Results The lecture-based learning was the main teaching mode. 335(52.7%) students thought it necessary to learn social medicine, but only 27.2%of the students(173 students) were interested in social medicine and 65(10.2%) students could take the initiative to read about extracurricular books. Overall satisfac-tion with using network resources of elaborate course in two universities that had university-level elab-orate course of social medicine were (2.78 ± 0.55) and (3.01 ± 0.30) respectively and the difference was statistically significant(t=-3.97,P<0.01). The cognitive attitude of the students in 5 universities with using network resources of elaborate course was (3.09±0.66) and the difference was statistically significant(F=3.70,P<0.01). Conclusion Social medicine teaching has been paid attention to in 5 universities, but there were some common problems: ①putting emphasis on theory and ignoring prac-tice in teaching mode; ②putting emphasis on credit and ignoring effectiveness in learning; ③and putting emphasis on construction and ignoring using in network resources of elaborate course of social medicine.

Objective To compare the differences of optic disc parameters and the thickness of circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (CP-RNFL) in acute uveitis Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome with different degrees of optic disc edema. Methods This is a retrospective study including 40 eyes of 23 VKH patients. The eyes were divided into 2 groups according to the results of fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA). The discs with hyperfluorescence but no leakage were in mild optic disc edema group (group A, 13 patients and 25 eyes), and the discs with hyperfluorescence and leakage were in severe optic disc edema group (group B, 10 patients and 15 eyes). The patients were significantly older in group B than in group A (t=-2.17, P<0.05). The differences of gender, diseased time (t=-1.67) and corrected visual acuity (t=-0.76) between 2 groups were not significant (P>0.05). Eighty eyes of 46 normal healthy subjects, matching group A and group B with age and gender, were divided into group C (26 subjects and 50 eyes) and group D (20 subjects and 30 eyes) respectively.All subjects underwent three dimensional optical coherence tomography examinations. The parameters included average thickness of entire circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (CP-RNFL), thickness of nasal, superior, temporal and inferior quadrant of CP-RNFL, disc area, disc cup area, rim area, cup/disc (C/D) area ratio, C/D horizontal diameter ratio and C/D vertical diameter ratio. Results The disc area, disc cup area and rim area were bigger, the thickness of mean CP-RNFL and the nasal and temporal quadrants of CP-RNFL were thicker in group A than those in group C (P<0.05). The disc area and rim area were bigger, the thickness of mean CP-RNFL and the nasal, superior, temporal and inferior quadrant of CP-RNFL were thicker, C/D area ratio and C/D diameter ratio were smaller in group B than those in group D (P<0.05). The disc area was bigger, disc cup area, C/D area ratio and C/D diameter ratio were smaller, the thickness of mean CP-RNFL and the nasal , superior and inferior quadrants of CP-RNFL were thicker in group B than those in group A (P<0.05). Conclusions Acute VKH uveitis with mild optic disc edema has thicker CP-RNFL in the nasal and temporal quadrants; with severe optic disc edema has thicker CP-RNFL in all 4 quadrants. Acute VKH uveitis also has smaller C/D area ratio and C/D diameter ratio.

OBJECTIVETo understand status of health literacy among diabetics and their health management behaviors, and analyze the relationship of health literacy and health management.

METHODSA two-staged cluster randomized sampling method was used to investigate 1 130 diabetics in Beijing, Ningbo and Xiamen from October to November in 2012. All participants should be diagnosed by primary hospital and above and have lived in the community over six months. Diabetic patients who indicated that they had severely impaired vision or cognitive disorder, or had severe physical deterioration, or did not live in the address provided were excluded. A total of 1 130 questionnaires were sent out and 1 083 eligible questionnaires were taken back, accounting for 96.87%. Multivariate logistic regression was adopted to analyze the association between health literacy and health management behaviors and blood glucose level.

RESULTSAmong those participants, 47.7% (517) were men, 52.3% (566) were women, the age was (67.0 ± 9.5). According to diabetes health literacy scores, 73.7% (798/1 083) of them were classified as poor health literacy and 26.1% (283/1 083) as essential health literacy. Health literacy was associated with health management behaviors independently, demonstrating that the probability of utilizing health education, free physical examination, lifestyle guidance, monitoring blood glucose on their own, measuring blood glucose more than once a week and taking hypoglycemic agent regularly among diabetics with essential health literacy were 1.40 (95%CI:1.03-1.91), 1.65 (95%CI: 1.19-2.28), 2.70 (95%CI:1.98-3.69), 2.05 (95%CI:1.34-3.15), 2.56 (95%CI:1.85-3.56) , 1.48 (95%CI:1.07-2.06) times of those in diabetics with poor health literacy (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONHealth literacy may affect health management behaviors among diabetics. More activities targeted on diabetics with low health literacy were suggested to improve their' health literacy and their skills about diabetes mellitus management.
