Objective To investigate the serological patterns of hepatitis B, understand the prevalence of hepatitis B infection in neonates, infants and preschool children based on hospital data in Zhejiang province and provide a basis for prevention and control of local pediatric hepatitis B infection. Methods Five serological markers were detected on electrochemiluminescence analyzer Roche E601. The results of all serological markers in children with hepatitis B from 2006 to 2010 were exported from laboratory information system and 24 892 (15 810 boys and 9 082 girls) cases were selected for further analysis according to the exclusion criterion including duplicate analysis, children older than 7 years and children living out of Zhejiang province. SPSS13.0 software and EXCEL 2003 were employed for statistical analysis in this study. Results Average HBV vaccination coverage rates among 15 413 boys and 8 840 girls were 99. 16%(98. 87% -99. 45%) and 99. 17% (98. 29% -99. 53%), respectively. Seventeen serological patterns of hepatitis B were observed, and "anti-HBs(+)alone"(64. 997%) was the dominant patterns followed by "negative" (18. 231%), "anti-HBc(+)anti-HBs(+)"(9.911%) and "anti-HBe(+)antiHBc(+) anti-HBs(+)"(4.395%), and the positive rates for other patters were 0. 004% -0. 992%. There were significant difference of detection rates for "anti-HBc(+)alone" and "anti-HBe(+)anti-HBs(+)"patterns between male and female (χ2=7.143,8.123, all P<0.01), and there were no significant difference of detection rates for the other 15 patterns between male and female (all P >0.05). Ninety-four HBsAg positive cases were detected, accounting for 0.38%. Totally 19 899 anti-HBs positive cases were detected, accounting for 79.94%. Totally 16 187 cases were "anti-HBs(+) alone", accounting for 81.3%of the total anti-HBs(+) cases. The group of 1-2 years and 2 day-2 week had the highest and lowest rate for anti-HBs(+)alone respectively. The ratios in three groups with different anti-HBs levels (10-100 mIU/ml,100-1000 mIU/ml and > 1000 mIU/ml) in 16 178 anti-HBs(+) children were 23. 64%, 27.66% and 13. 70%, respectively. Totally 3 904 cases with anti-HBc(+) were detected, accounting for 15.68%. The highest positivity rate and lowest positivity rate were in the group of 2-4 week and 3-4 week respectively. In total 1 565 cases with negative results, the lowest negativity rate and highest negativity rate were in the group of 9-12 month (3. 25%) and 6-7 age (36. 21%) respectively. Conclusions The dominant serological patterns of hepatitis B in local young children is "anti-HBs (+) alone" and most of the anti-HBs concentrations ranged from 100 to 1000 mIU/ml, followed by "negative". The total positive rate of HBsAg is mild. The rate of hepatitis B serological patterns in children is associated with ages but independent of gender. For interpretation of serological patterns of HBV in children below 12 months (especially in 3 months) the status of their mothers' HBV infection should also be taken into consideration.

Objective To report the method for repair of the heel and ankle.Method On the basis of applied anatomy,the reversed island flap based on sural neurovascular pedicle has been designed for repair of heel and ankle defects.Results The flaps have been used in 14 cases,the maximum size 9 cm×15 cm,and all flaps were survival compeletely except partial necrosis in one flap.Conclusion The blood supply of the flap is good.The length of pedicle can reach 12 cm.It is an effective method for repair of heel and ankle defects.

Objective:
To investigate the effects of tanshinone ⅡA on atherosclerosis plaque formation and adventitial mast cells activation in high-fat-diet induced Apo E-/- mice model.
Methods:
Sixteen 8-week-old Apo E-/-male mice and eight 8-week-old C57BL/6 male mice were randomly allocated into following group: the control group (C57BL/6 + carboxymethyl cellulose per gavage), the atherogenic group (Apo E-/-+carboxymethyl cellulose per gavage) and the tanshinoneⅡA intervention group (Apo E-/-+30 mg/kg tanshinone ⅡA per gavage). All three groups were fed with high-fat-diet for 26 weeks. Tanshinone ⅡA/carboxymethyl cellulose was applied by the method of gavage administration 6 weeks before execution. After 26 weeks, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) andinterleukin (IL)-6 levels in serum were assessed by ELISA. Carotid artery was removed, fixed with paraformaldehyde, embedded with paraffin and sectioned. Percentage of stenosis was evaluated on HE stained sections. Plaque progression was assessed by Movat staining. Toluidine blue staining was used to evaluate mast cells infiltration and activation. Immunochemistry staining was used to assess 5-HT, TNF-α and IL-6 expression. mRNA expression of mast cell marker Fcer1a in adventitial tissue was detected by real time-PCR.
Results:
After high-fat-diet for 26 weeks, the mice in the atherogenic group showed advanced atherosclerosis, tanshinoneⅡA intervention reduced the percentage of carotid artery stenosis caused by atherosclerotic plaque formation ((58.48±8.07)% vs. (80.31±4.08)%,
