Objective To compare the safety of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-Fc (rhTNFR:Fc) and other DMARDs,in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA),ankylosing spondylitis (AS),juvenile idiopathetic arthritis (JIA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA).Methods Patients who received rhTNFR:Fc 25 mg twice weekly from May 2006 to March 2009 were involved in this open-lable study.Safety assessments were carried out at regular intervals.Results Of the 2014 patients enrolled in the open-label trial,1388,421 and 232 were RA,AS or other diseases,such as JIA and P.sA respectively.Frequent adverse events included injection-site reactions (2.67％),rash (1.87％) and hyperamino transferase (1.80％) in RA patients.Similarly,injection-site reactions (5.23％),hyperaminotransferase (2.38％) and rash (0.71％) were frequent in AS patients.Upper respiratory infection was most frequent among infectious adverse events.There were no reports of patients with serious adverse events,dead case,TB infection and malignancies.Conclusion rhTNFR:Fc has shown a favourable safety profile in Chinese rheumatic disease patients.

Objective To investigate the metabolic rules of surfactant protein A and D(SP- A,SP- D )in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)in human fetal lungs during gestational ages. Methods BALF with 30 mL saline was performed on clinically collected human fetus with induction of labor by water- bag Their BALF was respectively retrieved [total retrieval rate(85. 6% ? 13 1)% ]for analysis of protein content. The BALF SP - A and SP - D from fetus of various gestational ages or newboms were detected by RPHA and ELISA. Results The total protein in BALF gradually increased since 10th week to newborn peak during lung development. And SP - A and SP D were respectively updated from(0.34 ?0.07 ) ,(0.05?0.01) ng/L to newborn climax[ (6 42 ? 0 36),(1.22 ? 0 13)ng/L] .Conclusions The protein in BALF gradually increases with fetal growth and lung development. SP-A and SP- D may reach prenatal climax and become the main indicator of newborn lung maturity.

It proved that the probe was of highly speciality.Conclusion Reverse dot blot is a good method of quickly identification of haemophilus influenzae.

Objective To know the expression of 47 kD protein of orientia tsutsugamushi(Ot) Karp strain and test its immunogenicity and antigenicity.Methods Forty-seven kD protein gene that code the whole mat peptide was amplified from the genomic DNA of Ot.Karp strain by PCR and constructed to a recombinant plasmid pGEX-47.The E. coli cells BL21 were transformed with pGEX-47,then the transformants were induced to express the recombinant 47 kD protein by IPTG. The antigenicity and immunogeni-(city) were identified by Dot Blot method and the experiment of immunizing mice respectively.Results 1. The PCR product of 47 kD protein gene of Ot.Karp strain was obtained and its sequence was the same as the published 47 kD protein gene.2. The E.coli expression plasmid pGEX-47 constructed was identified containing the 47 kD protein gene fragment by restrication analysis and PCR identification,and an expression band about 47 kD was detected by SDS-PAGE of the purified product from GST-fusson protein expressed by pGEX-47. 3.Dot Blot analysis and the experiment of immunizing mice testified its antigenicity and immunogenicity.Conclusions The 47 kD protein gene of Ot Karp strain is amplified that code the whole mat peptide, which can be expressed in prokaryotic cells and the expressed protein has antigenicity and immunogenicity.

Objective To explore the effect of hyperoxia through mechanical ventilation induced lung injury(VILI) in newborn rabbit.Methods One hundred newborn rabbits aged 1-5 days were randomly divided into 4 groups: with 900 mL/L O2 and mechanical ventilation(MV),group A received high peak inspiratory pressure(HPIP),group B received moderate peak inspiratory pressure(MPIP),group C received low peak inspiratory pressure(LPIP),and group D with no mechanical ventilation with room air.There were 30 rabbits in group A,B,C,10 rabbits in D group.All rabbits were killed at 1,3,6 h after trial respectively.Wet-to-dry weight ratio(W/D) of left lung,and white blood cell(WBC)counts in broncho alveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were measured.The changes of lung histopathology were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining and observed under light microscope.Results Compared with group B and C,the group A demonstrated more pulmonary hemorrhage and pulmonary bullae formation,and the WBC and neutrophils counts in BALF increased and the W/D was higher compared with group B and group C.Meanwhile,alveolar epithelial cellⅡ(AECⅡ) hyperplasy transformed to AECⅠ.In group C,AECⅡswelled and lung tissue edema showed obviously,after 6 hours collagen fibers hyperplasia appeared.Part pulmonary atelectasis was obvious in group C.Conclusions HPIP ventilation can increase lung injury induced by hyperoxia in newborn rabbits,but has minimal effects on MPIP and LPIP ventilation.Pulmonary histopathologic changes participate in the newborn rabbit machine ventilation induced lung injury.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 192Ir intraluminal brachytherapy for the prevention of urethral re-stricture after transurethral incision or transurethral resection of scar. Methods From Mar. 2004 to Jun. 2006,48 patients aging 18-81 years were treated by 192Ir intraluminal brachytherapy. The length of stricture(0.5-5.5 era) was≤3.0 cm in 90% of the patients. The stricture was caused by trauma in 23 patients and prostate hyperplasia operation in 19 patients. The cause of remaining 6 patients was unclear. All patients were diagnosed by urethra photograph or endoscopy. Radiotherapy was the initial treatment in 26 patients and the second time treatment in 22. The irradiation dose was from 14 Gy to 18 Gy.Results The median follow up was 10 months,and the total response rate was 98%. Only one patient recurred and received transurethral incision again. The uresis was fluency in 47 patients and the maximum flow rate was 13.9-36.4(19.2±10.3) ml/s. No secondary urethral bleeding or urethral cancer was observed.Conclusions Being a safe and feasible treatment, ,192Ir intraluminal brachytherapy following transurethral incision or transurethral resection of scar can effectively prevent urethral re-stricture.

There is increasing evidence that microcirculation hypoxia plays an important role in pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs)are transcriptional factors that serve as master regulators in ischemic and hypoxia injuries.Aims:To investigate the effect of HIF-2αon dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice and its possible mechanism.Methods:Mx-Cre/LoxP recombination system was utilized to establish a conditional HIF-2αgene knockout (HIF-2α-/-)mouse model.C57BL/6,HIF-2α+/+and HIF-2α-/-mice were randomly allocated into DSS colitis group and water drinking group,respectively.Experimental colitis was induced by treatment with 4% DSS in drinking water for 7 days,and the disease activity index (DAI)was assessed daily.Mice in each group were sacrificed on day 1,3,5 and 7 in batch;the histopathological changes of colonic tissue were observed, and mRNA expressions of HIF-2αand tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were measured by real-time PCR.Results:During model establishment,expression of HIF-2αmRNA in colonic tissue was elevated in C57BL/6 and HIF-2α+/+DSS colitis groups,and the DAI and colonic inflammatory score were significantly higher than those in C57BL/6 water drinking group (P<0.05 on day 5 and day 7).Compared with HIF-2α+/+DSS colitis group,HIF-2α-/-DSS colitis group had more severe colonic inflammatory injury and the DAI and inflammatory score were further increased (P all<0.05,except the inflammatory score on day 7);expression of TNF-αmRNA in colonic tissue was also increased significantly in HIF-2α-/-DSS colitis group (P<0.05 on day 5 and day 7).Conclusions:HIF-2αmay ameliorate colonic inflammatory injury in mice with DSS colitis via inhibition of TNF-αexpression.

Objective To understand the epidemic situation and characteristics of malaria in Yunnan Province,so as to pro?vide the reference for malaria elimination. Methods The data of malaria reported in the information system were collected and analyzed in Yunnan Province from 2011 to 2013. Results From 2011 to 2013,totally 2 256 malaria cases were found in Yun?nan Province,with a morbidity of 0.162 8 per million and three of them were death cases. The local cases mainly distributed along the boundary and accounted for 29.48%,while the imported cases mainly came from Myanmar and accounted for 70.52%. The number of endemic counties with local malaria cases decreased from 37 to 10 during the three years. The number of import?ed cases reached the peak in May and the local cases in June. The patients were mainly aged from 20 to 49 years old(accounted for 70.58%),and 85.24% of the cases were peasants and laborers. Totally 86.66% of cases were laboratory confirmed cases, and 13.14% were clinically diagnosed. The proportions of cases reported by hospitals,health service centers and CDCs were 33.02%,37.06% and 29.92%,respectively. Conclusions The prevalence of malaria in Yunnan Province decreased from 2011 to 2013. The work of malaria cases double?checked by province?level CDCs is effective. However,the awareness and accurately diagnostic capability of clinical doctors still should be strengthened.
