Objective To investigate the correlation of HIF-1α and hypoxia in keloids fibroblasts, and to investigate the mechanism that hypoxia promotes abnormal scarring by HIF-1α pathway. Methods Keloid fibroblasts cultured in vitro were placed in an incubator with different O2 concentrations. After 24 h, the keloid fibroblasts were collected for further study. Western blotting was performed to detect the expression of HIF-1α in the keloid fibroblasts. Results Relative amounts of HIF-1α in keloid fibroblasts cultured under O2 concentrations at 20 %, 10 %, 5 % and 1 % were 0. 007 ±0. 006, 0. 133 ±0. 006, 0. 537±0. 015 and 0. 903±0. 021, respectively. It indicated that hypoxia could increase the expression of HIF-lα in keloid fibroblasts. Conclusions Hypoxia can induce the expression of HIF-1α in fibroblasts of keloids. Moreover, there still is a positive relation between hypoxia and the expression of HIF-1α. Therefore, a close relationship exists between abnormal scarring and HIF-1α pathway by hypoxia.

Objective:To evaluate the identification rate of separating gel or HB&L pretreatment methods of MALDI-TOF-MS, thereby to provide a new idea for the rapid and accurate identification of pathogens of bloodstream infections in daily clinic practice.Methods:A total of 149 alarmed positive blood culture samples of single bacterial infection by routine laboratory methods were collected between January to December 2020 from the Sixth Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital. Samples were pretreated with the separation gel accelerating tube method or the HB&L microbial culture system, followed by direct MALDI-TOF MS bacterial identification, the identification rates of the two pretreatment methods were compared and results from the traditional method were used as the standard control.Results:Among the 149 positive blood culture samples, 47.0% (70/149) were gram-negative (G -) bacteria and 53.0% (79/149) were gram-positive (G +) bacteria. Identification rate of G -strain level was 78.6% (55/70) by serum separation gel coagulation tube method and 91.4% (64/70) by HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.033). Identification rate of G +strain levels was 73.4% (58/79) by serum separation gel coagulation tube method and 87.3% (69/79) by HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.028). For G -bacteria in the range of 3.000-2.300, the identification rate was 22.9% (16/70) by serum separation gel accelerating tube method and 38.6% (27/70) by the HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.044). For G +bacteria in the range of 3.000-2.300, the identification rate was 19.0% (15/79) by serum separation gel accelerating tube method and 34.2% (27/79) by the HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.031). Conclusion:The identification rate of HB&L microbial culture system is higher than that of serum separation gel coagulation tube method. Direct MALDI-TOF MS identification of pathogenic bacteria in positive blood culture samples after pretreatment is feasible in daily clinical practice.

Objective · To observe short and medium term survival of implants in patients with chronic periodontitis after implantation. Methods · 54 patients with chronic periodontitis (133 implants) were enrolled from August 2011 to August 2013. The survival of implants was observed and the periimplant diseases were compared and analyzed between patients with different degrees of chronic periodontitis. Results · The 3-year survival rate of implants was 97.74%. The differences between patients with different degrees of chronic periodontitis were not statistically significant (P=0.452). Periodontal pocket depth (PPD) and modified plaque index (mPLI) were significantly higher in patients with severe chronic periodontitis than in patients with mild and moderate chronic periodontitis. For patients not receiving supportive periodontal therapy (SPT), the peri-implantitis rate in patients with severe chronic periodontitis was significantly higher than that in patients with mild and moderate chronic periodontitis (P=0.009). For smokers, the periimplantitis rate in patients with severe chronic periodontitis was significantly higher than that in patients with mild and moderate chronic periodontitis (P=0.016). Conclusion · For patients with chronic periodontitis, the theraputic effect of implant treatment is good. Plaque control, SPT, and smoking cessation can reduce the incidence of peri-implantitis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the health status of the thyroid and related influencing factors in the seamen in Zhoushan, China.

METHODSA total of 136 coastal seamen (coastal group), 104 deep-sea seamen (deep-sea group), and 272 base staff (base group) who underwent physical examinations in 2014 were selected. Questionnaire survey and ultrasound were performed, and levels of thyroid hormone and urinary iodine were measured.

RESULTSCompared with the coastal group and the base group, the deep-sea group had a significantly higher rate of abnormal ultrasound findings (49.04% vs 30.88%/28.67%, P<0.05), as well as a significantly higher rate of abnormal serum free thyroxine (FT4) (25.00% vs 9.56%/6.25%, P<0.05). The logistic regression analysis showed that in the coastal group, the risk factors for thyroid abnormality on ultrasound were obesity shown by body mass index (BMI) (OR=2.55, 95% CI=1.13~4.13) and annual working time>6 months (OR=4.25, 95% CI=2.02~8.26) (both P<0.05); in the deep-sea group, the risk factors for thyroid abnormality on ultrasound were obesity shown by BMI (OR=3.45, 95% CI=1.28~7.02) and annual working time>6 months (OR=5.33, 95% CI=3.18~9.23) (both P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe thyroid abnormality in deep-sea seamen is caused by various reasons and is correlated with annual working time, working environment and area, and iodine nutritional status.

ObjectiveTo identify mutations ofGATA4 andGATA6 genes in children with isolated congenital atrial septal defect (ASD).Methods From November 2012 to November 2013, 101 patients with ASD (99 unrelated patients and one twin) who were submitted to catheter-based intervention and 100 ethnicity-matched children without congenital heart disease, blood disorders and chromosomal abnormalities were enrolled. The blood was collected. The coding regions and lfanking regions of theGATA4 andGATA6 genes were ampliifed by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced using the dideoxvnucleotide chain termination technique, and then compared with the normal sequence in the Genbank.Results Two novel heterozygous missense GATA6mutations, c. G145A and c. G151A, were identiifed in 2 unrelated ASD patients, which were not present in the controls. These two mutations predicted the conversion of glycine into serine at amino acid residue 49 (G49S) and glutamate into lysine at amino acid residue 52 (K52E). A heterozygous missenseGATA6 mutation c.43 G>C, which caused a conversion from glycine to arginine, was found in 9 ASD patients and 7 controls. A single nucleotide polymorphism c.99G>T, which did not cause amino acid conversion inGATA4 gene, was found.ConclusionsGATA6 gene is an important transcription factor in heart development. The mutation ofGATA6 gene may cause the change of its transcriptional activity, and lead to ASD.
