Object To observe antitumor effects of different extract fractions from Qinglongyi (DEQ). Methods S180-mice and H22-mice were given by ip as model. Antitumor effects of DEQ on S180-mice were observed, and also the effect on indexes of thymus and spleen, sialic acid (SA) content in cancer cell membrane and erythrocyte membrane in S180-mice and H22-mice. Results The two extract fractions by cold and hot alcohol have obvious antitumor effects in a dose-effect manner to S180-mice, and can prolong H22-mice life. The two extract fractions from Qinlongyi can significantly decrease SA in cancer cell membrane and increase SA in erythrocyte membrane. Conclusion The two extract fractions from Qinglongyi have antitumor effects.

The present study retrospectively analyzed 13 patients with fibrous dysplasia of the adult proximal femur who received treatment at the Department of Orthopedics,Shenzhen Hospital,Peking University between March 2000 and June 2006.These patients comprised 6 males and 7 females,with an age of 21-35 years.Among 11 patients suffering from mild hip pain,6 presented with mild limping due to worsened pains,and 2 exhibited obvious manifestations of bone fracture.All patients underwent X-ray,CT examinations,and 3 were subjected to MRI examinations,prior to bone grafting and internal fixation.Monostotic lesion was observed in 10 patients and polystotic lesion in 3 patients,but endocrine disturbance was not observed in any patient.Nine patients suffered from lesions in the femoral neck and 4 from lesions in the femoral rotator.Curettage,autogenous and allogeneic bone grafting,and internal fixation with dynamic hip screws and proximal femoral nails were successfully performed in each patient.Internal fixation time averaged 165 minutes (range 120-210 minutes).During the early stage after surgery,weight-bearing activities were not permitted.Bone fracture healed after an average of 3 months.Eighteen to forty-eight months of follow-up demonstrated that clinical symptoms were relieved,with good hip joint function and basically normal gait.X-ray plains showed thickened cortical bone,as well as compacted ossification shadow in bone grafting region.In addition,partial bone absorption,but not recurrent clinically,was observed in 4 patients.These findings imply that thorough curettage,autogenous and allogeneic bone grafting,and internal fixation with dynamic hip screws and proximal femoral nails is a reliable method to treat fibrous dysplasia of the adult proximal femur and it can acquire satisfactory curative effects.

Objective To analyze and compare the pathological changes of lung tissue in mice infected with the novel H7N9 influenza virus and 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus, respectively, and to preliminarily study the mecha-nisms of acute lung injury induced by those virus infection .Methods SPF 6-week old BALB/c mice ( body weight 18-20 g, male∶female=1∶1) (n=3 in each subgroup) were intranasally infected with H7N9 virus and H1N1 virus, respec-tively.The behavior and survival time of mice after virus infection were observed and the survival rates were analyzed .The heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, intestines, and brain were collected at indicated time points for histopathological exami-nation using H&E staining .The distribution of virus antigen was detected by immunohistochemistry .The neutrophil infiltra-tion was also observed .The correlation of lung injury with virus replication and host immune responses was analyzed .Re-sults The lung and spleen injury of mice infected with H 7N9 virus was slighter and their survival rate (100%) was high-er than those of mice infected with H1N1 virus.The damages of the lung and spleen in H1N1virus-infected mice were more severe than that in H7N9 virus-infected mice, and all the 10 mice in this group died within 9 days after virus inoculation . The distributions of both the virus antigens were mainly in the bronchial epithelial cells , a few stromal cells and alveolar ep-ithelial cells .The levels of virus replication in the two groups were not significantly different .There were more intense neu-trophil infiltration in the lung and inflammatory response in the H 1N1 virus-infected mice than those in the H7N9 virus-in-fected mice .Conclusions There are some differences of the pathological characteristics and extent of lung injury in the mice infected with H7N9 virus and H1N1 virus, respectively.The virus replication is a precipitating factor but not the deci-sive factor of the lung injury , and there is a close relationship between the host immune responses and acute lung injury .

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in es-tradiol(E2 ) induced advance of puberty onset in rats. METHODS Postnatal day 18 SD rats were given a daily intragastric administration of corn oil or E2(50 μg.kg-1 ) for consecutive 5 d. The day of vaginal opening (VO), pathological changes in ovary and protein expression levels of GnRH, G protein-coupled receptor 54 ( GPR54) and phospholipase C ( PLC) in hypothalamus were observed. RESULTS As compared to corn oil controll group, VO was advanced by about 12.2 d, corpus luteum was observed in the ovary section, and the protein expression levels of GnRH,GPR54 and PLC in hypothalamus were significantly increased by 47%, 55% and 56% in E2 group, respectively. CONCLUSION E2 induced onset of puberty advance may be closely related to regulation of the expression of GnRH, GPR54 and PLC in hypothalamus.

Objective:To explore the risk factors and time distribution of renal relapse in patients with lupus nephritis (LN).Methods:Clinical, pathological characteristics and long-term outcomes of LN patients who were diagnosed and followed in Jinling Hospital from January 2004 to December 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into relapse group and non-relapse group. The differences of clinical pathological characteristics between the two groups were compared. The multivariate Cox proportion risk model was used to analyze the risk factors affecting renal relapse in LN. The risk factors and time distribution of renal relapse were analyzed with annual relapse risk-time curve.Results:A total of 814 patients with LN were included in the study, with 419 cases (51.5%) of complete remission and 395 cases (48.5%) of partial remission. The age was (30.24±10.90) years old, and there were 112 males (13.8%). There were 367 patients suffering renal relapse. The time of first renal relapse was (3.21±2.70) years. The results of multivariate Cox regression showed that age ( HR=0.976, 95% CI 0.966-0.986, P<0.001), renal pathological activity index (AI) score ( HR=1.039, 95% CI 1.013-1.065, P=0.003), remission status after induction treatment ( HR=0.671, 95% CI 0.504-0.894, P=0.006), 24 h urinary protein quantitation ( HR=1.297, 95% CI 1.115-1.508, P=0.001), anti-double strand DNA antibody (A-dsDNA, HR=1.450, 95% CI 1.139-1.846, P=0.003) and complement C3 ( HR=0.223, 95% CI 0.128-0.389, P<0.001) were correlated with increasing risk of renal relapse in LN. The annual relapse risk profile was unimodal, with a peak period of the second year after maintenance treatment. Similar patterns of relapse were presented in subgroup analysis. Conclusions:Age, renal pathological AI score, remission status after induction therapy, 24 h urine protein, A-dsDNA and blood complement C3 are the influencing factors for relapse of LN patients. The peak period of renal relapse in patients with LN is in the second year of maintenance therapy.

Objective To analyze the treatment outcomes of multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (MDR-TB) cases in Hubei Province. Methods From October 2006 to June 2017, a retrospective cohort analysis of treatment outcomes for 1 447 patients with MDR-TB who were included in treatment was performed. Excel worksheet was created to establish database by monthly and quarterly reports. The statistical analysis of data was conducted using SPSS 21.0 software. Results Among 1 447 MDR-TB patients, 1 076 were males and 371 were females, with an average age of 44.44±14.28 years. 798 patients were cured, 63 patients completed the course of treatment, and the overall treatment success rate was 59.50% (861/1 447). The treatment success rate was68.02% (268/394) in newly diagnosed cases, and 56.32% (593/1 053) in relapse cases. There was a significance difference between the two groups (χ²=16.30，P<0.05). The treatment success rate [78.41% (672/857)] in patients with negative sputum culture at the end of 6th month was higher than the rate [38.71% (12/31)] of negative sputum culture at the end of 12nd month, with a statistical significance difference (χ²=26.65，P<0.05). The treatment success rate [12.07% (14/116)] in patients with continued positive sputum culture at the end of 6th month was higher than the rate [4.44% (2/45)] of negative sputum culture at the end of 12th month, with a significance difference (χ²=1.34，P=0.25). Conclusion It is extremely important to screen drug-resistant individuals for smear-positive patients, and to detect and treat drug-resistant patients timely. The negative conversion of sputum bacteria at the end of 6th month had important predictive significance for the treatment outcomes of MDR-TB patients. The patients with continued positive sputum at the end of 6th month should be closely monitored to adjust treatment according to the progress of the patient's condition and to explore a way to shorten the treatment course.
