BACKGROUND:Peri-fracture nerve injury can inhibit osteoclast activity and promote early fracture healing. OBJECTIVE:To investigate dynamical y the effects of traumatic brain injury on the bone mineral density, microstructure, biomechanics property and bone metabolism in rat models of fractures. METHODS:Sixty-three male rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham group, simple fracture group and fracture combined with brain injury group. After 3, 6, and 3 months, the animals were sacrificed in batches under anesthesia, and then, the bones and serum specimens were used to detect the bone mineral density, microstructure, biomechanics property, serum cross-linked N-telopeptide of col agen type I and osteocalcin levels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the simple fracture group, the fracture combined brain injury group had significantly increased bone mineral density of the proximal tibia, bone volume fraction of the cancel ous bone, trabecular thickness, cross-sectional area of tibial cortical bone and total area of the bone marrow, ultimate load and stress of the tibia, serum cross-linked N-telopeptide of col agen type I and osteocalcin levels at 3 and 6 weeks after modeling (P<0.05), but no differences in the above-mentioned indexes were found among the three groups at 3 months after modeling. These findings indicate that traumatic brain injury can increase the bone mineral density at the fracture site, improve bone microstructure and enhance biomechanical properties, thereby promoting bone healing and bone metabolism at the fracture site.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of flow cytometry in detecting HPV E6/E7 mRNA of human papilloma virus (HPV) in the diagnosis of cervical lesions. Methods From January 2017 to September 2018,119 women with suspected cervical lesions in the department of gynecology and obstetrics of Shanxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected. Flow cytometry was used to detect HPV E6 / E7 mRNA in cervical exfoliated cells of women,and the DNA of HPV was detected by the method of hybrid capture 2 (HC2). Results 31. 09%(37/119) HPV E6/E7 mRNA and 57. 14%(68 / 119) HPV DNA were positive in 119 cases. The positive rate of HPV E6/E7 mRNA in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia ( CIN)2+ group was 77. 78%(28/36),which was statistically significant compared with 20. 00%(4/20) in CIN1 group (χ2=15. 246,P<0. 01),and was statistically significant compared with 7. 94%(5/63) in nilm group (χ2=50. 286,P<0. 01) . In nilm group,HPV E6 / E7 mRNA positive rate was 7. 94%(5/63) and HPV DNA positive rate was 30. 16%(19 / 63),which was statistically significant (χ2=10. 088,P=0. 001) . In cin1 group,HPV E6/ E7 mRNA positive rate was 20. 00%(4 / 20) and HPV DNA positive rate was

Objective:To explore the relationship between blocking antibody and lymphocyte subsets in elderly patients (age≥35 years old) with recurrent spontaneous abortion(RSA).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted on the patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion who met the inclusion criteria from October 2014 to September 2019 in the Reproductive Center of Women Health Center of Shanxi.They were divided into two groups according to their ages: 66 cases in RSA group and 334 cases in normal pregnant age group.The blocking antibody and lymphocyte subsets were detected by flow cytometry.Results:The negative rate of blocking antibody in elderly recurrent spontaneous abortion patients was 77.27% (51/66), which was not significantly different from that in normal gestational recurrent spontaneous abortion patients (83.53%(279/334)) ( P=0.221), but significantly higher than that in normal women (23.46%(42/179)) ( P=0.001). The blocking antibody′s blocking efficiency results showed that the CD3′s blocking efficiency of elderly recurrent spontaneous abortion patients (0.10 (-0.50, 0.60)) was significantly lower than that of normal women (0.60 (0.00, 1.30)), the difference was statistically( P=0.001). The CD8 blocking efficiency of elderly recurrent spontaneous abortion patients (0.00 (-0.60, 0.63)) was significantly lower than that of normal women (0.30 (0.00, 0.70)), the difference was statistically( P=0.016). Lymphocyte subsets showed that the CD8 + T cell ratio in elderly recurrent spontaneous abortion patients (26.93±7.25) was significantly lower than that in normal gestational recurrent spontaneous abortion patients (29.22±7.29), the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.020). The CD4 + /CD8 + ratio in elderly recurrent spontaneous abortion patients (1.64±0.99) was significantly higher than that in normal gestational age recurrent spontaneous abortion patients (1.37±0.50), the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.030). The ratio of natural killer cells in elderly recurrent spontaneous abortion patients (16.13±7.10) was significantly higher than that in normal women (14.04±2.35), the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.022), and higher than that in normal gestational age recurrent spontaneous abortion women (15.57±7.02). Conclusion:There were differences in lymphocyte subsets between elderly RSA patients and normal pregnant women, and the increase of natural killer cell ratio may be an important factor in the occurrence of RSA, especially in elderly RSA patients.

BACKGROUND:As a unique structure of the cervical spine,the occurrence,development and progression of the uncovertebral joint directly affect the stability and range of motion of the cervical spine,and are also closely related to the pathogenesis of cervical spondylosis.A thorough understanding of the developmental characteristics of the uncovertebral joint is of great significance for the pathogenesis,diagnosis,and treatment of cervical spondylosis. OBJECTIVE:By using imaging and three-dimensional reconstruction technology to measure and observe the cervical uncinate process-related angle in a large sample of different age groups,the aim is to reveal the characteristics of its changes with age and vertebral growth,as well as its relationship with cervical spine stability. METHODS:Using a retrospective research design,we collected 1 447 cases of raw CT imaging data that meet the study requirements for complete cervical spine segments.The raw data were imported into Mimics 21.0 software in DICOM format for post-processing and measurement of angle of uncinate process and sagittal angle of uncinate process.The data were grouped based on gender,age,and side. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the increase of vertebral sequence,the angle of uncinate process increased in a V-shaped shape,and the lowest peak was at C5.The overall population showed a sharp peak with the increase of age,and the peak value mostly occurred in the age range of 30-39 years.(2)The sagittal angle of the uncinate process increased like a fishhook with the increase of the vertebral sequence,and the overall angle of the uncinate process increased with age,and the peak value mostly occurred in the age range of 20-29 years.The uncinate process angle and sagittal angle showed only partial significant differences between sides and genders(P<0.05).(3)It is concluded that the angle of the uncinate process increased with the increase of vertebral sequence in a V-shaped manner.The sagittal angle of the uncinate process increases like a fish hook with increasing vertebral order,while the two angles generally peak with increasing age.The angle of the uncinate process is about 131°,which may be closely related to the stability of the cervical spine,while the sagittal angle of the uncinate process is about 14°,and its function may play a certain role in limiting the excessive rotation of the cervical spine.
