Objective:To investigate the influence of type A behavior in the occurrence and development of chromic periodontitis and compare the differences among people with different behavior types in the occurrence and development of chronic periodontitis, and to explore the influence of psychological factors in the process of periodontitis.Methods:According the same standard,132 patients with periodontitis were selected as periodontitis group,and 126 patients without periodontitis were used as control group.OralSurveys Basic Methods proposed by WHO in 1987 and ReferenceStandard of Diagnosis and Treatment of Periodontitis made by AAP in 2000 were used to dignose the periodontitis.All subjects finished type A behavior and SCL-90 questionnaire (ZHANG Boyuan 1983,revision in 1985 ), their scores were recorded and the results were analyzed by t test. Results:The proportion of type A behavior in periodontits group (68.94%)was higher than that in control group (27.78%) (P<0.05)compared with type M and type B behavior.The scores of hostility (1.54±0.38),anxiety (1.47± 0.39),depression (1.41 ± 0.37),interpersonal sensitivity (1.23 ± 0.39),compulsive (1.72 ± 0.46),and somatizition (1.47 ± 0.38)were significantly higher than those in control group (1.32 ± 0.30, 1.29 ± 0.24, 1.25±0.23,1.04± 0.17,1.41 ± 0.35,1.25 ± 0.24).The calculus index (CI)of the people with type A behavior was higher than those of the people with other types of behavior (P<0.05).Conclusion:The people with tyep A behawior is easier to get periodontitis than other people.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effects and mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) transplantation in mice autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).Methods AIH model was established in 44 C57BL/6 mice,which were induced by homologous series liver-specific antigen S-100 and Freund's complete adjuvant.After modeling,six mice were collected for AIH model confirming.The other 38 mice were divided into three groups.Fourteen mice of MSC transplantation group (group A) were treated by MSC tail vein injection,12 mice of dexamethasone (DXM) group (group B) were treated by DXM intraperitoneal injection,and 12 mice of PBS control group (group C) received phosphate buffer saline (PBS) intraperitoneal injection.Eighteen mice of healthy control group (group D) weren't modeled and received no treatment.At the 5th and 9th week,the mice weights and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level were tested,mice liver tissues of each group were estimated by pathological examination and Knodell scoring,and spleen T lymphocytes of mice were isolated for proliferation-inhibition examination.The data were analyzed by rank sum test,ANOVA and t test.Results After treatment,mice weights of both group A and B showed upward trend (F=15.678,P＜0.01; F=3.730,P=0.037).Before and after treatment,there was no significant difference in group C (P＞0.05).At the 5th and 9th week,the ALT level of group A and B gradually decreased,there was statistical significance between the time points (F=20.267,P＜0.01; F=4.277,P=0.034).Before and after treatment,there was no significant difference in ALT level of group C (P＞0.05).At the 5th and 9th week,the degree of mice serum ALT reduction of group A was larger than that of group B,and the difference was statistically significant (t=3.566 and 3.218,both P＜0.05).At the 5th and 9th week,the Kondell scores of group A and B gradually decreased,there was statistical significance between the time points (F=8.070,P=0.003; F=6.547,P=0.009).Before and after treatment,there was no significant difference in Kondell scores of group C (P＞0.05).At the 9th week,there was statistical significance in Kondell scores among group A,group B and group C (F =4.477,P =0.029).The in vitro spleen lymphocytes proliferation-inhibition experiment demonstrated that the supernatant of MSC could significantly inhibit the proliferation of T lymphocytes stimulated by S-100 antigen and concanavalin A,the absorbance values were0.267±0.167 vs.0.217±0.128 and0.165±0.187 vs.0.082±0.051 respectively,the differences were statistically significant (t =7.187 and 4.602,both P＜ 0.01).Conclusion MSC transplantation may play a therapeutic role in mice AIH through inhibiting T lymphocyte proliferation.

Objective To explore the role and possible mechanism of CD28/B7 molecules in T cell ab-normal activation by establishing a mouse model of the autoimmune aplastic anemia. Methods Unmanipulated B6D2F1 or CByB6F1 hybrid mice were infused with about 40 × 106 lymph node (LN) cells from their C57BL/6 (B6) parent. Distribution of the injected T cells was assayed by CFDA-SE fluorescent staining. Anti-D80 and anti-CD86 monoclonal antibodies were used to block CD28/B7 signal transduction pathways and to test the change of peripheral blood of F1 mice at different times. Damage was assessed by histological staining. Bone marrow (BM) cells and LN iymphocytes were cultured to observe the effect of different number of lymphocytes in the LN on BM cells' hematopoiesis by the count of hematopoietic colony-forming cells, and to test the effect of cyclosporine A of different concentration on BM cells' hematopoiesis. Results Infusion of about 40 × 106/mouse B6 LN cells led to the development of BM failure in the fifth day: anemia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. At 21st day recipients began to appear death. Frozen section revealed the injected lymph node major in myeloid tissue. Pathological sec-tion revealed obvious immune-induced marrow destruction and tissue destruction. There was similar performance of the above in the recipients infused with anti-D80 and anti-CD86 monoclonal antibodies. B6 LN five times the num-ber of lymphocytes in the blood cells F1, CFU-E and CFU-G colony formation of a blank group difference was not significant (P >0.05); When B6 LN 10 times the number of lymphocytes in the blood cells F1, CFU-E colony forming significantly reduce the number of (P < 0.05) ; When B6 LN lymphocytes 50 times in F1 hematopoietic cells, not observed CFU-E colony formation. CFU-E and CFU-G colony formation reducing the number of lympho-cytes showed a dose-dependent. Cyclosporine A can significantly increase the CFU-E and CFU-G colony forming rate. Conclusion This mouse model indicates that activated lymphocytes play important roles in marrow destruc-tion in lymphocyte infusion-induced BM failure. Only blocking the CD28/B7 signal transduction can not block the abnormal T-cells activated.

Objective To study the correlation between ABO blood groups and leukemia and lymphoma, and the regional difference. Methods A case-control study had been conducted. The distribution of ABO blood groups was investigated in leukemia patients, lymphoma patients and controls, respectively. Also ABO blood group distribution of leukemia and lymphoma were compared in different areas. Results The distribution of ABO blood groups between patients with acute non-lymphocytic leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and health person was significantly different (χ2 = 21.23, χ2 =8.36, χ2 = 9.39,P <0.05). There were regional differences in the ABO blood groups distribution of leukemia and lymphoma,especially ABO blood groups were significantly different in leukemia patients (χ2 = 50.65, P <0.05).Conclusion ABO blood groups might be a genetic susceptible factor of leukemia and lymphoma, but the geography might be a major influential factor.

Objective To observe the preventive effects of puerarinon development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in elderly women with osteoporosis after hip replacement. Methods 100 elderly women with osteoporosis who scheduled for femoral head arthrolastybetween January 2012 and January 2014 in Cangzhou Central Hospital were selected and then randomly divided into a study group (n=50) and a control group (n=50). The control group received routine anti?inflammatory and anticoagulant therapy ,while the study group received intravenous drip of puerarinof 400 mg mixed with 5%glucose liquid 500 ml daily for 15 days as a treatment course. After the treatment, DVT incidence rate ,change of early diagnostic indexes and hemorheology were compared with their baselines. Results DVT incidence rate was significantly lowerin the study group than in the control group (8.0%vs. 24.0%, P<0.05). Ascompare with the control group,thromboxane A2/prostacyclin,plasma homocysteine and hemorheology?were significantly reduced (P < 0.05). Conclusions Puerarin has a preventive effect for deep vein thrombosis in elderly women with osteoporosis after hip replacement.

Currently, invasive urodynamic testing is the " gold standard" for the diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). However, this test is invasive, easy to cause hematuria, urinary tract infection and other complications, the application conditions are limited.In order to solve this problem, various non-invasive methods to diagnose or predict BOO have been studied.The use of existing inspection indicators such as ultrasound measurement, penile cuff test, near infrared spectroscopy and other new non-invasive methods provide a new research direction for the non-invasive diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction.

Detection of circulating tumor DNAs (ctDNAs) in cancer patients is an important com-ponent of cancer precision medicine ctDNAs. Compared to the traditional physical and biochemical methods, blood-based ctDNA detection offers a non-invasive and easily accessible way for cancer diagnosis, prognostic determination, and guidance for treatment. While studies on this topic are currently underway, clinical translation of ctDNA detection in various types of cancers has been attracting much attention, due to the great potential of ctDNA as blood-based biomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment of cancers. ctDNAs are detected and tracked primarily based on tumor-related genetic and epigenetic alterations. In this article, we reviewed the available studies on ctDNA detection and described the representative methods. We also discussed the current understanding of ctDNAs in cancer patients and their availability as potential biomarkers for clin-ical purposes. Considering the progress made and challenges involved in accurate detection of speci-fic cell-free nucleic acids, ctDNAs hold promise to serve as biomarkers for cancer patients, and further validation is needed prior to their broad clinical use.

Objective To investigate a Chinese pedigree suffering from Leydig cell hypoplasia ( LCH) based on clinical data and genetic diagnosis. Methods The patient was diagnosed by means of clinical data, hormone profiles, and human chorionic gonadotropin ( hCC) test. The luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotropin receptor(LHCGR) gene of the patient and family members was amplified and sequenced. Results The patient presented with male pseudohermaphroditism, low level of testosterone, which did not respond to hCG. Genetic analysis of the LHCGR revealed two novel mutations: a missense mutation located in exon 5, resulting in Ile replaced by Thr in the extracellular domain; and a splice site mutation in the 3' terminal of intron 6( IVS6-3 C→A). Proband's sister (46, XX) who lacked clinical manifestations showed the identical genotype with the patient. Conclusions A mutation in the consensus sequence of 3' splice site, in addition to a missense mutation (Ile 152Thr)in the extracellular ligand-binding domain is the cause of inactivation of the LHCGR gene in patient with Leydig cell hypoplasia.

Disease-centered problem-based learning (PBL) integrated course inspires the thinking of medical students in the case scenario to stimulate students' motivation of active learning. In this paper, the study of diabetes cases was taken as an example. Through the design of PBL cases, the scenario was reconstructed and information was provided step by step, so as to induce the students to discuss and learn the related knowledge of glucose metabolism and understand the predisposing factors of diabetes. Furthermore, students' critical thinking could be inspired through the information of the misdiagnose and mistreatment to recognize the clinical presentation and inducement of diabetic ketoacidosis. This teaching model is conducive to the cultivation of medical students' questioning spirit and critical thinking, laying a foundation for the cultivation of innovative medical talents.

Objective To investigate image quality and clinical value of dual-source dual energy virtual non-contrast (VNC) CT of the head. MethodsSixty-two patients suspected of cerebrovascular diseases underwent conventional non-contrast (CNC) CT and dual energy CTA examination of the head with dual-source CT. Virtual non-contrast images were reconstructed using dual energy software. The CT values of gray matter, white matter, cerebrospinal fluid, hyperdense hemorrhagic lesion and hypodense ischemic lesion were compared between CNC and VNC images. A four-score scale was used to assess image quality subjectively. Image noise, radiation dosage and detection rate were compared between CNC and VNC images. Paired t test, Wilcoxon signed ranks test and Chi-square test (McNemar test and Kappa test) were used. Results The CT value on CNC and VNC images, were (43. 3 ± 1.5) and (33. 2 ± 1.3) HU for gray matter (t = 46.98, P ＜ 0. 01), (32. 9 ± 1.3) and (28.8 ± 1.6) HU for white matter(t = 16. 28, P ＜0.01), (9.0 ± 1.4) and (5.3 ± 1.9) HU for cerebrospinal fluid (t=12.41, P＜0.01),(62.8 ±10.0) and (51.3 ± 11.5) HU for hyperdense lesion (Z = -4.37, P ＜ 0.01), (20.7 ±4.7) and (18.0 ±6. 9) HU for hypodense lesion (t = 3. 84, P ＜ 0. 01), respectively. VNC images[(1.63 ±0.34) HU]had more noise than CNC images[(0.99±0.18) HU](Z= -6.41, P＜0.01). VNC [(0. 53 ± 0. 08) mSv]had less effective dose than CNC[(1.37 ± 0. 23) mSy](Z= - 6. 45, P ＜ 0. 01).In subjective assessment, VNC images had more noise (2. 7 ± 0. 5 for VNC and 3.9 ± 0. 3 for CNC,Z = -6. 84, P ＜ 0. 01) and skull base-related artifacts (2. 4 ± 0. 9 for VNC and 3.7 ± 0. 5 for CNC,Z = -6. 15, P ＜0. 01) than CNC images. The gray/white matter contrast (1.3 ± 0. 5 for VNC and 3.3 ±0. 6 for CNC, Z = - 7. 01, P ＜ 0. 01), hyperdense lesion display (3.0 ± 0. 4 for VNC and 4. 0 ± 0. 0 for CNC,Z = -4. 52, P ＜ 0. 01) and hypodense lesion display (3.2 ± 0. 8 for VNC and 3.9 ± 0. 3 for CNC,Z= -3. 12, P ＜0. 01) on VNC images were lower than those on CNC images. In per-patient analysis,29 cases of hyperdense lesion (hemorrhage) were found on VNC images without misdiagnosis. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were all 100. 0% (29/29,33/33, 29/29, 33/33). VNC images had the same detection rate of hyperdense lesions as CNC images (P ＞0. 05, Kappa = 1. 000) at per-patient level. Twenty-two patients with hypodense ischemic lesions were found on VNC images with one false positive case and two false negative cases. The sensitivity,specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 91.3% (21/23), 97.4%(38/39), 95.5% (21/22) and 95.0% (38/40) respectively. No statistical difference was found in detecting hypodense lesions between VNC and CNC images (χ2 = 0. 00, P ＞ 0. 05, Kappa = 0. 895). In per-lesion analysis, 53 hemorrhage lesions were found on VNC images with false negative results of four lesions and no false positive result. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 93.0% (53/57), 100. 0% (38/38), 100. 0% (53/53) and 90. 5% (38/42)respectively. There was no significant difference in detection rate of hyperdense lesion between VNC and CNC images (χ2 =2. 25, P ＞0. 05, Kappa =0. 914). Thirty-eight hypodense lesions were found on VNC images with 2 false positive lesions and 13 false negative lesions. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 73.5% (36/49), 96.4% (53/55), 94. 7% (36/38)and 80. 3% (53/66) respectively. The detection rate of hypodense lesion on VNC images was lower than that on CNC images (χ2 = 6. 67 ,P ＜ 0.01, Kappa = 0. 707). Conclusion Compared with CNC images,head VNC images have reduced image quality and radiation dosage. VNC images can replace CNC images potentially in detecting intracranial hemorrhage and provide information for ischemic cerebrovascular diseases to some extent.
