Objective To study the induction of imiquimod on interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) in the peripheral blood of patients with condyloma acuminatum. Methods Twenty-two adult patients with condyloma acuminatum and twenty health control were sequentially enrolled in this study. Serum levels of IFN-γmRNA were measured by realtime polymerase chain reaction in 22 cases with condyloma acuminatum before and after treatment with imiquimod for 8 weeks and 20 health control. Results The serum level of IFN-γ mRNA before treatment was significantly lower than that of health control (t = - 2.87, P = 0.0071). Expression of serum IFN-γmRNA in condyloma acuminatum was significantly increased after 8 weeks imiquimod treatment (t = - 2.51 ,P = 0.0159). The serum level of IFN-γmRNA had no significant difference compared with after treatment group and health control group (t = - 1. 07, P =0. 2922). Conclusion Imiquimod could increase the low expression of IFN-γ mRNA in patients with condyloma acuminatum.

To explain the relation between diabetic vasculopathy and'Blood blocking collaterals and phlegm turbidness not being removed'proposed by Mr.ZHU Kan-yu.It is believed that the turbidness is the basic pathological product during the development of diabetes.Blood glucose remains high,which reflects the disorders of transportation and distribution of turbid yin and qi in the body.That is to say that the thick coreal nutrients in the vessels are unable to be distributed and absorbed but stay in the vessels as turbid pathologic factors.Blood stasis and phlegm is the further result of turbid pathologic factors.The TCM explanation of diabetic vasculopathy is that phlegm,turbidness,blood stasis block the meridians and collaterals.Those visible pathological factors deposit in vessels and cause narrow vessels and thick walls.Meanwhile the deposit stimulates,spreads,erodes and burns the walls and finally ruins the walls.

A Co2+ ion-mediated formaldehyde imprinted polymer ( MIP) was prepared by coordination polymerization method in present work and its surface structure characterized by using IR spectrum and scanning electron microscope ( SEM). Inversed phase gas chromatography ( IGC) technique using this formaldehyde imprinted polymer as stationary phase was utilized to investigate on the retention selectivity, isotherm adsorption and adsorption thermodynamics for this imprint material toward the template and its structural analogue. Also, the ability of this polymer in the removal of formaldehyde from room atmosphere was explored. Results indicated that the capacity of the template on the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) column was much higher than that of aldehyde and the lower column temperature and flow rate of carrier gas was beneficial for the selective retention of imprint material toward the template molecule, possessing a higher capacity factor of 61. 1 for the template and a higher separation factor of 10. 66 for this imprint polymer toward formaldehyde and aldehyde under the optimized chromatographic conditions ( column temperature: 363 K;flow rate of carrier gase: 7. 0 mL/ min; injection volume: 3. 0 μL). An approximate linear adsorption isotherm for the template and a BET Ⅲ one for the analogue on the MIPs was observed. In addition, this molecularly imprinted polymer was shown with higher capability in the removal of formaldehyde from room atmosphere.

Objective: To investigate the predictive value of an early inflammatory response factor, Rho kinase activity for left ventricle remodeling (LVR) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods: A total of 120 acute STEMI patients treated in our hospital from 2010-10 to 2013-06 were studied, all patients were ifrst time received primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. Rho kinase activity and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) were measured before PCI, echocardiography was conducted at 24 hours and 12 months after STEMI respectively to clarify LVR diagnosis. The patients were divided into 2 groups as LVR group, n=97 and Non-LVR group, n=23, the above indexes were compared between 2 groups.
Results: The level of Rho kinase was higher in LVR group than that in Non-LVR group, P<0.001, after adjustment, Rho kinase was the independent predictor for LVR (OR 3.36, 95%CI 2.01–5.78, P<0.001). The ROC of Rho kinase was 0.88 (95%CI 0.82–0.94) and the ROC of BNP was 0.54 (95%CI 0.41–0.70).
Conclusion: High Rho kinase activity could predict LVR in acute STEMI patients with primary PCI and stent implantation.

Objective:To analyze the maternal gestational weight gain (GWG) in women with pre-pregnancy obesity and its relationships with adverse pregnancy outcomes.Methods:This retrospective cohort study recruited 513 obese women (pre-pregnancy body mass index ≥30 kg/m 2) with singleton pregnancy in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2014 to December 2016. All participants were divided into three groups according to GWG: inadequate (GWG<5 kg, n=83), adequate (5 kg≤GWG≤9 kg, n=154), and excessive (GWG>9 kg, n=276) groups. Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the clinical data among the three groups, including GWG, pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, and labor process. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to analyze the association between maternal GWG and main pregnancy complications associated with obesity. Results:(1) Among 238 participants who gained more than 2.0 kg in the first trimester, 75.6% (180/238) were in the excessive group, while the rate was 34.9%(96/275) among the participants who gained less than 2.0 kg. (2) Postpartum body mass index retention (body mass index at six weeks postpartum minus pre-pregnancy body mass index) was the highest in the excessive group, followed by the adequate group and the inadequate group [0.8 kg/m 2 (0.0-2.2 kg/m 2) vs -0.7 kg/m 2 (-1.6 to 0.0 kg/m 2) vs -2.5 kg/m 2 (-3.2 to -1.5 kg/m 2), all P<0.05]. (3) The rates of primary cesarean section in the inadequate and adequate groups were 29.9% (20/67) and 32.6% (42/129), which were lower than that in the excessive group [43.3% (104/240), χ2=3.955 and 4.047, both P<0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of gestational hypertension, small/large for gestational age, or other major adverse pregnancy outcomes among the three groups (all P>0.05). The weight gain in the first trimester and before the oral glucose tolerance test were not correlated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) ( aOR=1.038, 95% CI: 0.986-1.094, P=0.157; aOR=1.055, 95% CI: 1.000-1.113, P=0.051). The maternal weight gain of women with GDM during the 2nd, the 3rd, and the whole trimesters were lower than women without GDM respectively [3.0 kg (1.3-4.0 kg) vs 3.0 kg (2.0-5.0 kg), 4.0 kg (2.0-6.0 kg) vs 6.0 kg (4.0-8.0 kg), 9.0 kg (5.0-12.0 kg) vs 10.7 kg (7.5-15.0 kg); Z =-2.938, -6.352 and-4.104, all P<0.01]. Conclusions:In women with pre-pregnancy obesity, the first trimester is the critical window to control maternal GWG. GWG guidelines recommended by the Institute of Medicine could help to reduce the weight retention at six weeks postpartum, but couldn't reduce the risk of GDM, gestational hypertension, small/large for gestational age, or other major adverse pregnancy outcomes.
