Objective To investigate the residual risks of transfusion-transmitted HBV/HCV/HIV in current donor screening system of Qingdao area.Methods After the ELISA tests(HbsAg,anti-HCV,anti-HIV) were performed,NAT tests of HBV-DNA,HCV-RNA,and HIV-RNA on plasma samples were conducted.Such specimens as have discrepant ELISA and NAT results(N+/E-,or N-/E+) were subject to further follow-up confirmation tests.Results Among 12000 donor samples,no sample with anti-HCV(-)/HCV-RNA(+) or with anti-HIV(-)/HIV-RNA(+) was detected.However,2 individuals were detected as HBsAg(-)/HBV-DNA(+).One donor had negative ELISA test results in HBsAb,HBeAg,HBeAb,and HBcAb at the first screening.But the HBsAg,HBeAg and HBcAb were confirmed positive along with HBV-DNA after 11 weeks.The other donor was negative for HBsAb,HBeAg,and HBeAb but positive for HBcAb.Follow up tests after 3 weeks indicated the same serological results,with a similar low viralload at about 1000 IU/mL.Conclusion Due to the window period and occult HBV infection,current blood donor screening system has some residual risks of transfusion-transmitted HBV.NAT and HBcAb tests should be implemented to reduce the residual risks of transfusion-transmitted HBV.

Aim To study the effect of montelukast on eosinophilic airway inflammation of asthmatic guinea pigs,and explore possible mechanism of montelukast. Methods Experimental asthma model of guinea pigs was induced by ovalbumin in vivo. The eosinophils in BALF were separated by density gradient centrifugation. The apoptosis of eosinophils was labeled by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)technique. The content of IL-5 in BALF was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The level of ECP in BALF was detected through fluorescence enzyme-labeled assay. Results In BALF of asthmatic guinea pigs model, the number of eosinophils and content of IL-5 and ECP increased obviously, while the apoptosis index of eosinophils was lowered. After treatment with montelukast, the number of eosinophils and content of IL-5 and ECP in BALF of asthmatic guinea pigs decreased significantly, while the apoptosis index of eosinophils was elevated significantly. Conclusion Montelukast can inhibit the eosinophilic airway inflammation of asthmatic guinea pigs. Lowering the levels of IL-5 and ECP in BALF, promoting apoptosis of eosinophils and relieving airway infiltration of eosinophils may be important mechanisms for montelukast to antagonize airway inflammation of asthma.

BACKGROUND:Because of osteoporosis, short-segment transpedicular fixation or screw-rod system fixation is prone to screw loosening depending on its poor anti-pul-out strength in patients with thoracolumbar fracture with ankylosing spondylitis.
OBJECTIVE:To probe the clinic outcomes of multi-segment transpedicle spinal fixation for thoracolumbar fractures with ankylosing spondylitis.
METHODS:Eleven patients with ankylosing spondylitis combined with thoracolumbar fracture in the Fourth Department of Orthopedics, Meizhou Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, China from January 2009 to December 2012 were selected. Al the patients underwent posterior reduction and multi-segment transpedicle spinal fixation, among whom, six cases were subjected to internal fixation through the pedicle of fractured vertebra.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al of the 11 patients were fol owed up for 13 to 36 months. Solid bone healing was achieved in al of the patients, and there were no complications related to the internal fixation systems such as loosening or breakage. Three cases of spinal cord injury achieved Frankel’s class E from class C recovery. Lumbodorsal pain rate achieved 100%according to the Japanese Orthopaedic Association scoring. Results confirmed that it is effective to treat thoracolumbar fractures with ankylosing spondylitis by posterior reduction and multi-segment transpedicle spinal fixation. Strong internal fixation and fracture union can be achieved by operation.

Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of CD 8 +CD28 -T lymphocytes in the patients with endometriosis ( EMT) complicating with pelvic fluid .Methods Eighty patients with endometriosis complicating with pelvic fluid ( ca-ses of ⅠtoⅣwere 15, 12, 22, and 31, respectively) were enrolled.The peripheral blood as well as the pelvic fluid were collected and flow cytometry was applied to detect the frequencies of CD 8 +CD28 -T lymphocytes and their intracellular cytokines , including transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and interleukin 10 (IL-10).Twenty health women with the same range of age were enrolled as the control group .Results Compared with the control ones , the frequencies of peripheral blood CD 8 +CD28 -T lymphocytes , TGF-β1, and IL-10 of the EMT subjects were increased significantly (all P <0.05), which presented the order Ⅳ>Ⅲ>Ⅱ>Ⅰand the difference between every two of the Ⅰ~Ⅳgroups was significant (all P <0.05).Similarly, the data of CD8 +CD28 -T lymphocytes, TGF-β1, and IL-10 in pelvic fluid also presented as Ⅳ>Ⅲ>Ⅱ>Ⅰ.Moreover, the difference of pelvic fluid TGF-β1 between any two groups was more apparent compared with CD 8 +CD28 -T lymphocytes and IL-10 ( P <0.05 ) .Spearman correlation analysis showed that any one of CD8 +CD28 -T lymphocytes, TGF-β1, and IL-10 positively correlated with any stage of ⅠtoⅣ( rs =0.791, 0.753,0.726 and all P <0.05).Conclusions CD8 +CD28 -T lymphocytes, TGF-β1, and IL-10 were closely related to the stages and could be the negative roles in the pathogenesis of EMT .TGF-β1 played a vital role in the formation of pelvic fluid .
