Objective To analyze human plague from 2001 to 2011 in Qinghai Province and to provide a scientific basis for formulating prevention and control measures.Methods Using the descriptive epidemiological methods,epidemiological field survey data and medical records of each case of human plague were collected from 2001 to 2011 in Qinghai Province.Human plague was judged in accordance with the Plague Diagnostic Criteria (WS 279-2008).Results From 2001 to 2011,human plague was reported 14 times,with incidence of 38 cases,17 dead and death rate was 44.74％ in Qinghai Province.Epidemic areas mainly distributed in the 12 townships of 9 counties.Prevalent season was from May to October,September and October accounted for 57.89％ (22/38).There were cases of Tibetan herders and Han farmers,accounting for 76.32％ (29/38) and 23.68％ (9/38),respectively;onset age from 5 to 67 years,mainly around the age of 20-45 [68.42％ (26/38)].The most prevalent clinical types were pneumonic and septicemic plague and initial case was caused by actively contact with infected plague animals.Conclusions Qinghai human plague is mainly caused by approaching the plague infected animals,human plague in Qinghai Province is on the rise,the risk of long-distance transmission of the plague is significantly increased.

Autoimmune disease is an own organization inflammatory lesions,mainly caused by destroying the adaptive immune tolerance mechanism of differentiatingself andnon-self,whose character is appearing the autoantibodies and self-reactive T cells in the body.Autoinflammatory disease is a group of genetic,recurrent and noninvasive inflammatory disease,whose characteristics are fever,rash,joint pain,arthritis,ophthalmic pathological changes and increasing of acute phase proteins,and it can affect many organ systems.These diseases are different in the mode of onset and clinical manifestations,but also can have similar and overlapped symptoms and signs,and often confused with other systemic diseases.Therefore,clinical misdiagnoses or missed diagnoses easily occur.To understand correctly and master the laboratory examination characteristics and its clinical is essential,which has significant value in the clinical diagnosis,differential diagnosis,evaluation and treatment of these diseases.

Objective To investigate the prevention and nursing measures of chemotherapeutic phlebitis in hematonosis children.Methods 233 children with first-attack of hematonosis were admitted to our department from January 2010 to January 2012,among whom 80 cases appeared different degrees of chemotherapeutic phlebitis.The related factors of chemotherapeutic phlebitis were explained and the nursing measures were established.Results After effective nursing measures,the chemotherapeutic phlebitis were properly handled.Conclusions Correct selection of vascular puncture site,strict aseptic operation and implementation of relevant nursing measures can prevent the incidence of chemotherapeutic phlebitis,and local closure,using of patches and external application of scald ointment can be adopted to treat chemotherapeutic phlebitis.

Objective To observe the changes and clinical significances of ischemia modified albumin (IMA),cardiac triponin T (cTnT) and creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) in transient myocardial ischemia induced by radio frequency ablation ( RFA ) in patients with arrhythmia.Methods One hundred and twelve patients with arrhythmia undergoing RFA and 91 patients undergoing CAG were evaluated with blood levels of IMA,cTnT and CK-MB before and 3 and 6 hours after operation.Results Serum levels of IMA at 3 h [ (80.62 ± 7.53 )U/ml ] and 6 h [ (76.37 ± 9.21 ) U/ml ] after operation rose significantly (P ＜ 0.05 ) in the 112 cases of RFA compared with the preoperative [ ( 45.42 ± 7.00 ) U/ml ].While the levels of IMA were not significantly different at 3 and 6 hours after CAG in the 91 patients compared with before sugery ( P ＞ 0.05).The levels of cTnT and CK-MB remained unchanged between the two groups after the procedures ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion The levels of IMA were quickly increased after myocardial ischemia induced by RFA and this change occurred earlier than that of cTnT.IMA is an early diagnostic biochemical marker of myocardial ischemia.

BACKGROUND: The glycoprotein which ends of a-galactosyi residues (a-Gal) is the major heterogenic antigen for hyperacute rejection. OBJECTIVE: To observe the distribution characteristic of the small tissue engineered vessel scaffold, and a-Gal in endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells of Wistar rats and Japanese white rabbits, in addition, to discuss the feasibility of applying acellular tissue vessel scaffold to heterogeneous blood vessel transplantation. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The contrast observation was conducted at the Department of Human Anatomy of China Medical University between March 2003 and December 2004. MATERIALS: Totally 30 caudal arteries of Wistar rats were collected. Fifteen of which were prepared for small vessel scaffold (small vessel scaffold group), the remained 15 served as caudal artery group. Additionally, 15 central arteries were obtained from each ear of Japanese white rabbits (central artery group). METHODS: Totally 16 mg/L Bandeiraea Simplicifolia I Isolectin B4 (BSI-B4) was added for DAB staining with Affinity histochemistry method. Then MetaMorth/C5050/BX41 microscopic image analysis system was used to detect the positive reaction product of a-Gal. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Color changes of vascular wall were observed under light microscope; the optical density of the positive reaction product of a-Gal was measured. RESULTS: The expression of a-Gal was mainly located in the cell membrane, as well as cell nucleus of endothelial cells in the central artery group. The expression of a-Gal of endothelial cell was strong positive in the caudal artery group, which was weak or negative expressed in the small vessel scaffold group. The optical density of a-Gal expression was lowest in the tunica intima of small vessel scaffold group, which was less in the central artery group than the caudal artery group (P < 0.001). The a-Gal expression in the tunica media of small vessel scaffold group was less than the central artery and the caudal artery groups (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: In the caudal artery of Wistar rat, the expression of a-Gal is higher than that in the central artery of Japanese white rabbit. Therefore, the heterogeneous tissue engineered vessel material from acellular caudal artery of Wistar rats can be used in blood vessel transplantation.

Objective To study the genetic toxicity of aluminium trichloride on reproductive cells of male mice.Methods Twenty healthy male KM mice were randomly divided into four groups,the experimental groups(50,75,100 mg/kg AlCl3 respectively) and the normal control group(0.9% NS),all of the groups were exposed by intraperitoneal injection,2 consecutive days with one day interval,for 2 weeks.The variation of body weight and index of testicle was observed,olive tail moment was evaluated by comet assay while sperm nucleus immaturity rate was examined by fluorescent staining sperm nucleus.Results Compared with the negative control group,the index of testicle in each AlCl3 treated group decreased significantly(P

Objective To observe and compare the accurate dynamic changes of types Ⅰ, Ⅲ, Ⅴ, and Ⅵ collagens in the wound healing processes of the rabbit cornea undergoing laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) or photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and to investigate the possible mechanisms of corneal haze and myopic regression. Methods New Zealand White rabbits were divided into 8 groups: normal control group (n=6), 1, 7 d, and 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 month groups (n=14). Every rabbit underwent LASEK in one eye while the other one with PRK. We used Western blot analysis to compare the wound healing process of dynamic changes of types Ⅰ, Ⅲ, Ⅴ, and Ⅵ collagens in the rabbit cornea at every time point. The results were analyzed with data analysis software. Results Western blot analysis showed that after LASEK, the cornea wound healing with types Ⅰand Ⅲ collagens were much faster than that of PRK, and the wound response was also much weaker. Whereas for types Ⅴ and Ⅵ collagens, their dynamic changes were similar between LASEK and PRK, and they both reached the peak value at 3 month after the surgery, but LASEK group returned to normal earlier than PRK group. The value of these two types of collagens after PRK was higher than that by LASEK. The changes of these four types of collagens may offer us at least partial explanation to the difference of formation of corneal haze and refractive regression. Conclusion There are significant differences between LASEK and PRK in types Ⅰ, Ⅲ, Ⅴ, and Ⅵ collagens or the time of reacting, reaching apex, and returning to normal. LASEK has slighter intensity of reaction. The results indicate that there is excessive aggradation of collagens after PRK, which may be the histological foundation of obvious haze and myopia regression.
