Objective To investigate the influence of human chorionic gonadotropin on testicular germ cell apoptosis of bilateral cryptorchidism in rats.Methods Immature male rats (22 day-old Sprague Dawley) were subjected to bilateral cryptorchidism and injected with 20 U human chorionic gonadotropin from the 22th day to the 34th day every other day. Sham operation rats were as control group. At age 35 days and 60 days, rats were sacrificed for detection germ cell apoptosis by terminal- deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated d-UTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). Results There were significant difference of apoptosis index (AI) between bilateral cryptorchidism and sham operation groups(P0.05).Conclusion AI of cryptorchidism increases and HCG addes the number of apoptotic germ cells.

OBJECTIVE To study the current infection control issues and discuss protocols of nosocomial infection management. METHODS Based on the characteristics and progresses of domestic and international nosocomial infection management,we analyzed the existing problems and countermeasures of some key issues. RESULTS Enhancing nosocomial infection objective-surveillance,the personnel construction,information technology,etc are the chief methods to improve the quality of nosocomial infection control. CONCLUSIONS Adopting some new measures to strengthen the nosocomial infection management is essential and important to the security of medical treatment.

Objective To explore the influence of human chorionic gonadotropin(HCG)on testicular germ cell apoptosis of experimental unilateral cryptorchidism in rats.Methods Forty immature male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into unilateral cryptorchi-dism group(n=20) and sham operation group(n=20).The 2 groups were divided into group treated with HCG and group without HCG.At age 21 days,unilateral cryptorchidism was produced.Half of the rats were injected with 20 U HCG from day 22 to 34 every other day.At age of 35 d and 60 d,rats were sacrificed for detection germ cell apoptosis by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL).Results Apoptosis index(AI) of cryptorchidism testis were higher compared with the scrotal testis in sham operation group(P0.05).AI of the scrotal testis of sham operation group and unilateral cryptorchidism group with HCG was higher compared with the correspond groups without HCG,and there were significant difference of AI between sham operation group and the correspond group without HCG at age 35 days(P0.05).Conclusions AI of testicular is increased both in cryptorchidism testis and scrotal testis in experimental unilateral cryptorchidism;HCG adds the number of apoptotic germ cells,and histology damage of testis is not completely recovery after stop using HCG.So clinical application of HCG must be cautious and operation ought to be done as early as possible in cryptorchidism.

ObjectiveTo observe testis tissue changes of experimental cryptorchidism after orchiopexy in various-day-rats.MethodsSeventy-two Sprague-Dawley(SD) male rats were divided into 3 groups randomly and made artificial cryptorchidism:unilateral cryptorchidism group(n=24),bilateral cryptorchidism group(n=24)and sham operation group(n=24)at age 21-day-old.Intra-abdominal testicle was resetting in 2 weeks,at age 40 days and 60 days,the rats were sacrificed for detection tubular fertility index(TFI) and mean tubular diametar(MTD) with hematoxylin-eosine staining and germ cell apoptosis by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated d-UTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) assay.ResultsThere were significant differences of MTD,TFI and apoptosis index(AI) between cryptorchidism and scrotal testes(P0.05).The AI of cryptorchidism testes of unilateral cryptorchidism group were significantly lower than that of bilateral cryptorchidism group in 40 days(P0.05).ConclusionsAI of artificial resetting testis is increased and contralateral descended testes in unila-teral cryptorchidism have various damage.It is to lighten that pathological damage of testes of cryptorchidism with prolongation of reset time.

Objective To evaluate the features of the encapsulated papillary thyroid carcinoma (EPTC) by ultrasound and histopathology.Methods The EPTC were classified into the following two types based on the shape,characteristics of the border,size of the nodule,echogenicity,a hypoechoic halo and microcalcification by ultrasound features:papillary carcinoma (PC) type and follicular tumor (FT) type.Results Of all the 33 cases,21 cases were PC type and 12 cases were FT type.The histopathological result of PC type was papillary carcinoma.PC type had a jagged border,an irregular tumor shape with marked hypoechogenicity by ultrasound.PC type were composed of papillae by histopathology,completely surrounded by a fibrous capsule with tumor cells having the nuclear features of papillary thyroid carcinoma,densely interstitial fibrosis and microcalcification;FT type had a smooth border,a regular shape (spherical to oval),isoechogenicity and a hypoechoic halo by ultrasound.FT type were completely or significantly composed of follicles by histopathology,completely surrounded by a fibrous capsule with tumor cells having the nuclear features of papillary thyroid carcinoma.Hypoechoic halo were more frequently observed in FT type than in PC type.The nodule size of FT type(1.8-7.0 cm)was larger than that of PC type(0.8-5.2 cm).Fine and multiple strong echoes were characteristically present only in PC type.Conclusion The EPTC have characteristic features that are similar to those of the benign follicular thyroid tumor by ultrasound.

Objective To explore a technical modification by transperineal Da- W anorectoplasty (Da WARP) on treating low, intermediate anorectal anomalies(AA) and to evaluate the results of long - term follow up. Methods Forty six cases of AA underwent a Da-W ARP,which involved preservation of the rectal end of the fistula and invagination of the perineal skin flap through the neoanus.The clinical records were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. Results The median follow - up period was 7 years and 2 months. All of them achieved a good fecal continence exception of 1 patient with intermediate AA and associated anomaly,had fair result. Conclusions The Da - WARP is relatively simple and practical methods for surgical treatment of low, intermediate AA, with good long - term results.

Objective: To construct the expression plasmid of a novel gene human NBEAL1 (neurobeachin like 1), and to study its relationship with the pathological grades of glioma. Methods: Total RNA of human glioma cell line U251 was extracted. NBEAL1 expression plasmid pGEX-KG/NBEAL1 was constructed and transferred into E. coli BL21. Recombinant NBEAL1 protein was induced by IPTG and further purified by GST affinity chromatographic column. The purity of recombinant NBEAL1 protein was examined by Western blotting analysis. A NBEAL1 protein specific monoclonal antibody was prepared and was used to study the relationship of NBEAL1 expression with pathological grades of glioma. Results: The NBEAL1 gene fragment was successfully cloned into pGEX-KG expression plasmid and verified by DNA sequencing. The recombinant NBEAL1 protein was expressed in inclusion bodies, with a yield of more than 30% of total bacterial proteins; the purity of purified NBEAL1 protein was above 95%. Western blotting analysis confirmed that the purified protein containing GST tag and NBEAL protein. NBEAL1 protein was lowly expressed in normal brain tissues and highly expressed in low grade glioma tissues; and the expression of NBEAL1 decreased with the increase of glioma malignancy. Conclusion: The NBEAL1 protein has been successfully cloned, expressed and purified. NBEAL1 protein expression in glioma tissues is negatively associated with the pathological grades of glioma.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of domestic faropenem in the treatment of acute bacterial infections. Methods: A multicenter, randomized, double blind and double simulation clinical study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of faropenem and cefaclor in the treatment of acute bacterial infection. Patients in trial group(n = 122) were given faropenem 250 mg，and in control group (n = 118) were given cefaclor 200 mg，3 times daily for 7 to 10 days.Results: The clinical cure rates were 33.61% and 27.12% in trail and control groups respectively and the clinical effective rates were 87.70% and 83.05% respectively. There was no significant difference in terms of clinical effectiveness between the two groups（P > 0.05）. The adverse reaction rates were 7.32% in trial group and 3.36% in control group（P > 0.05）. The adverse reaction of the trial group was mainly exaltation of aminotransferase, which did not affect the therapy. No severe adverse reaction was found.Conclusion: Domestic faropenem is effective and safe for the treatment of bacterial respiratory tract and urinary tract infections.
