Objective To find the changes of human fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 genone during development.Method Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA isolated from adult and fetal tissues. Result Adult FGFR1 gene structure is different from its embryonic counterpart. Conclusion The disserence might lead to changes of FGFR1 expression as wel as functions of the cells.

Objective To explore the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the phenotypes of photo-aging fibroblasts.Methods A photoaging cell model by repeating UVB irradiation was treated using appropriate concentration of PRP;Cell morphology and the rate of aging dying were observed under inverted microscope 24 hours later after establishment of the cell model;The expression of ROS between experimental and control group was detected using fluorescence microscope after single UVB irradiation.The relative intensity of fluorescence was analyzed using flow cytometry.Results PRP could ameliorate the large and sprawl appearance of photoaging fibroblasts obviously,reduce the generation of ROS as well as decrease the relative intensity of ROS.Conclusions PRP can decrease the level of intracellular oxidative stress caused by UVB irradiation,reduce the generation of ROS and ameliorate the senescence-like phenotypes of pho toaging fibroblasts.

OBJECTIVEThe purpose of this study was to investigate the blood lead level of 3 - 5 year old children living in the cities in China and to provide scientific data for making policy on environmental lead pollution for children health protection.
METHODSSix thousand five hundred and two vein blood samples from 3 - 5 year old children in nineteen cities of nine provinces were sampled. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) were employed to determine lead level in whole blood after microwave digestion for sample preparation and questionnaire survey was also performed. Data were analyzed with multiple regression on factors which affecting blood lead levels.
RESULTSResults showed that mean blood lead level was 88.3 micro g/L for 3 - 5 year old children living in the cities in China and mean blood lead level of boys (91.1 micro g/L) was higher than that of girls (87.3 micro g/L). Twenty-nine point nine one per cent of the children's blood lead level exceeded 100 micro g/L. The research finding showed: (1) higher blood lead levels had negative effects on children's physical growth, language ability etc. (2) behavior of parents had certain effects on children's blood lead levels. (3) blood lead levels of children were affected by unhealthy habits.
CONCLUSIONSProblem of childhood lead poisoning in China has become more serious. During the past ten years, blood lead levels of children has been increased in China while decreasing in developed countries. Blood lead levels of children in China are higher than that of developed countries, which called for special concern by government and society.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic irrigation combined with surgical debridement in the treatment of shoulder infection after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Methods:
Data of 4 post-operative infected patients [(male 3 cases, female 1 case; 55 years (51-61 years)] after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair who underwent arthroscopic irrigation combined with surgical debridement from January 2016 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Less than 1 month after surgery, swelling, pain in the surgical area occurred and all patients had fever, abscess and sinus. Hematology and radiology were conducted immediately after admission. Antibiotic treatment was applied, and adjusted according to the culture results timely. All patients underwent arthroscopic irrigation combined with surgical debridement. Antibiotics continued accordingly after the operation. Blood routine, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, X-ray, etc. were rechecked regularly to evaluate the symptomatic relief of the infection and prognosis. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score were used to evaluate shoulder function during the pre-operative and post-operative follow-up period.
Results:
The surgery was successfully completed in all 4 patients. One was treated with VSD for vacuum suction and the wound was closed one week later. The results of microbial culture showed that 2 cases were Mycobacterium tuberculosis positive, 1 case Pseudomonas aeruginosa positive, and 1 case was Staphylococcus aureus positive. After treatment, the shoulder sinuses of all patients were healed, without swelling, pain, etc. The follow-up time was 3, 4, 32, and 33 months, respectively. There was no recurrence of infection until the latest follow-up. The joint mobility and scores were better than the situation of preoperative. The VAS score and ASES score of 2 patients with early debridement (< 1 month duration of infected symptoms) were respectively improved significantly from 5 and 40, 6 and 23 before operation to 1 and 80, 1 and 73 respectively at the latest follow up. The VAS score and ASES score of other 2 patients (> 6 months duration of infected symptoms) were respectively improved from 6 and 28, 6 and 32 to 1 and 62, 2 and 65 respectively. All patients were satisfied with the results.
Conclusion
Early arthroscopic irrigation combined with surgical debridement is an effective method to treat the post-operative infections after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
