Methods A total of 73 patients were randomly divided into treatment group (37 cases) and control group (36 cases). The control group was given conventional western medicine treatment, while the treatment group was given Xisui Huangu Formula on the basis of conventional western medicine treatment. Clinical symptoms and joint function of the two groups were observed before and after treatment, and the clinical effects were compared. Results In the treatment group, 17 cases were cured, 17 cases improved, 3 cases were unrecovered, and the effective rate was 91.89%. In the control group, 4 cases were cured, 25 cases improved, 7 cases were unrecovered, and the effective rate was 80.56%. The difference was statistically significant between the two groups (P<0.05). Improvement of joint pain, lameness, dysfunction, and joint function in the treatment group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Xisui Huangu Formula can significantly improve clinical symptoms of ANFH. Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy is helpful to alleviate ANFH disease progression.

Objective:To observe the effect on ovarian cancer immunotherapy by dendritic cells (DC) which activated by Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) induce antigen-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and to provide some help to ovarian cancer immunotherapy.Methods: Interleukin (IL)-12,and IL-10 of DC were tested after inducing by EpCAM.Subsequently,EpCAM specific CTL CD8+ was induced by EpCAM-DC.The therapeutic effect and interferon (IFN)-γ of EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL on normal ovarian epithelial cells IOSE80 and ovarian cancer cell SKVO3 was detected.After treatment of EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL,the volume of ovarian tumor of bearing BALB/c-nu/nu mice was detected.Meanwhile,the morphology changes of tumor tissue were observed by HE staining.Results: Compared with PBS,EpCAM stimulation significantly inceased surface markers DC80,DC83,DC86 and HLA-DR levels,and added up to 4.79,4.85,4.60 and 10.91 times (P<0.05).EpCAM stimulation significantly increased the expression of IL-12 and reduced the secretion of IL-10 (P<0.05).Both of DC-CD8+ CTL and EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL resulted in minute amount of IOSE80 cell killing (P>0.05).However,the killing rate of EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL on SKVO3 cells was 6.82-folds as much as that of DC-CD8+ CTL.Animal experiments showed that ovarian cancer transplantation tumor volume ratio after EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL treatment,was significantly lower than PBS group and DC-CD8+ CTL group,which reached 0.27 and 0.28 times,respectively (P<0.05).HE staining showed that EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL treatment resulted in significant changes of tumor tissues in pathology.Conclusion: EpCAM protein stimulated the maturation of DC that induced the production of EpCAM specific CD8+ CTL.EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL can effectively kill ovarian tumor cells and delay the growth of tumor,which is of great significance for the immunotherapy of ovarian cancer.

Objective To understand the association between rs1079727 polymorphism in the DRD2 gene and the distractibility in the school-age children.Method The rs1079727 polymorphisms were genotyped using Sequenom Mass Array and the distractibility was measured based on the Middle Childhood Temperament Questionnaire (MCTQ) in 121 children aged from 8 to 12 years,in order to analyze the function of rs1079727 polymorphism and its interaction with gender or the delivery mode on the distractibility.The results were analyzcd with oneway ANOVA and logistic regression analysis.Results There was association between the distractibility and rs1079727 polymorphism or delivery mode respectively.The means of distractibility for the genotypes of GG (4.37 ±0.53) and AG (4.27±0.69) were significantly higher than that of the genotype of AA(4.01±0.67) (P＜0.05).The proportion of high distractibility in the cesarean children (48.28％) was significantly higher than that in the natural labor children (33.90％) (P＜0.05).The child distractibility occurred through an interaction between rs1079727 polymorphism and gender/delivery mode.The girls with G alleles possessed increased risk of distractibility (OR=2.231,P＜0.05),and the natural labor children with A alleles were tend to be associated with low distractibility(OR =0.048,P＜0.01).Condusion The distractibility based the temperament for the school-age children might be influenced by delivery mode,rs1079727 polymorphism and its interaction with gender/delivery mode.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis and its clinical features.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients diagnosed with psoriasis from January 2014 to January 2015.Through a questionnaire survey,the diagnosis of PsA was confirmed according to the Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR) in patients with suspected PsA.Clinical data were collected from patients with newly and previously diagnosed PsA.Statistical analysis was carried out by t test for two-group comparisons,one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for multi-group comparisons,and chi-square test for comparisons of rates.All the statistical tests were two-sided.Results Totally,1 062 outpatients with psoriasis were enrolled into this study,and 125 were suspected to have PsA.According to the CASPAR,70 (6.59％) patients were finally diagnosed with PsA,with the ratio of male to female being 2.1 ∶ 1,and 45 of them (64.29％) were newly diagnosed.Psoriasis vulgaris lesions were observed in 50 (71.43％) patients with PsA,and were the most common type of skin lesions in patients with PsA.There were 5 clinical types of PsA in these patients,including asymmetrical oligoarthritis (23 cases,32.86％),symmetric polyarthritis (19 cases,27.14％),distal interphalangeal predominant arthritis (10 cases,14.29％),vertebral or sacroiliac arthropathy (7 cases,10.00％),and arthritis mutilans (11 cases,15.71％),with some overlap among these clinical types.As relatively distinctive manifestations of PsA,dactylitis and enthesitis were observed in 14 (20.00％) and 8 cases (11.43％) respectively.In addition,43 (61.43％) cases had nail involvements.Conclusion To master clinical features of PsA and to diagnose it early are of great significance for long-term prognosis of PsA patients.

Objective To investigate the in vivo effect of silenced actin-associated protein Transgelin on the growth of human pancreatic carcinoma xenograft in nude mice.Methods Human pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC3 were transfected with small hairpin RNA (shRNA) eukaryotic expression vector targeting Transgelin gene.RT-PCR and Western blot were used to analyze Transgelin expression after transfection.24 animal models were randomly divided into three groups with 8 in each:Experimental group (transplanted BxPC3/Transgelin shRNA),negative control group (transplanted BxPC3/Neo) and untreated group (transplanted BxPC3).Tumor size was measured weekly.All mice were sacrificed after 28 days.Tumor volume was calculated,inhibitory effect was analyzed.Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin sections for Transgelin and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) proteins were performed.Results Tumors varied in sizes among 3 groups (all P ＜ 0.05).On day 21 and 28 tumor was significantly smaller in experimental group than those in control groups.Tumor weighed(0.74 ±0.21) g in experimental group,lower than that in negative control group(1.42 ± 0.28) g and untreated group(1.59 ± 0.24) g (all P ＜ 0.05).The inhibitory effect was 53.5％ in experimental group.The PCNA index was significantly lower in experimental group than those in control groups (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Deletion of Transgelin gene can significantly inhibit the proliferation and tumor growth of BxPC3 cells in nude mice.

Objective To investigate illness uncertainty state and explore its influencing factors in hospitalized children and adolescents with cancer.Methods A cross-sectional survey was performed in 112 children and adolescents with cancer aged 7～18 years old from two hospitals with the Chinese version of Uncertainty Scale for Kids-20 and the self-designed demographic questionnaire.Results The mean total scores of illness uncertainty was (45.16±6.67) points.The results of single-factor analysis showed that the factors influencing the uncertainty in illness of children and adolescents with cancer were as follows:age,personality characteristics,course of disease,the methods of treatment,current disease status,absence from school or not,the times of hospitalization,family monthly income,and the extent of parents' understanding about the disease-related knowledge.Multi-factor stepwise regression analysis showed that the main influencing factors of the uncertainty in illness were the current condition,family monthly income,absence from school or not and the extent of parents' understanding about the disease-related knowledge.Conclusions Illness uncertainty is common in children and adolescents with cancer.Nurses should attach importance to the impacts of illness uncertainty,and take effective interventions to decrease it,alleviate psychological pressure and improve quality of life in children and adolescents with cancer.
