Objective To explore the spatial distribution and spatial clustering of brucellosis in Zibo,2013-2015.Methods Spatial autocorrelation analysis was used to analyze the surveillance data of brucellosis at town level.Township as a spatial analysis unit,spatial distribution of brucellosis in small scale in Zibo City was analyzed.Results The global Moran's I indexes of brucellosis were not significantly different in 2013-2015.According to local Moran's Ⅰ statistic,the high-high regions were Xindian Street and Jiangjunlu Street in 2013.The high-high regions were Tangfang Town,Jinshan Town,Luocun Town,Zhaili Town,Xihe Town and Longquan Town in 2014.The high-high region was Wangcun Town in 2015.Condusions Our study has showed that the spatial distribution of brucellosis is local clustered in Zibo.The detection of hotspots could provide guidance for formulating regional prevention and control strategies.

Some types of bacteria swim through rotating their flagella. The swimming mechanism of bacteria during flagella bundling and tumble process is analyzed. The effects of body rotation and flagellum′s polymorphic transitions on bundling processes and the wall effect phenomenon are also discussed. Finally, based on dynamics similarity, a new microrobot module is put forward to further studying the flagella swimming phenomena. The research would be very helpful for constructing the bionic swimming robots under the low Reynolds number.

Objective: To observe the difference in anti-inflammatory effect between living rhino horn and rhino horn by the method of comparative research to provide the experimental basis for the replacement of rhino horn by living rhino horn.Methods: The anti-inflammatory effects of living rhino horn and rhino horn were studied by the methods of paw edema in rats, cotton ball granuloma in mice, auricle swelling and peritoneal dye penetration.Results: Compared with that in the model control group, the foot metatarsus swelling degree at all time points in high (440 mg·kg-1) dose group and middle (220 mg·kg-1) dose group of living rhino horn and three doses groups of rhino horn showed statistical differences (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The high dose group (700 mg·kg-1) and middle dose group (350 mg·kg-1) of living rhino horn and rhino horn could significantly reduce the weight of cotton ball granuloma in mice (P＜0.05).Three doses groups (700, 350 and 175 mg·kg-1) of living rhino horn and rhino horn could significantly reduce auricle swelling in mice induced by xylene (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The absorbance of Evansan in the abdominal cavity in the middle dose group (350 mg·kg-1) of rhino horn and the high dose group (700 mg·kg-1) and middle (350 mg·kg-1) dose group of living rhino horn was significantly reduced (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the anti-inflammatory effect between living rhino horn and rhino horn at the same dose.Conclusion: Living rhino horn and rhino horn have a certain anti-inflammatory effect.The anti-inflammatory effect of living rhino horn is similar to those of the rhino horn, and living rhino horn can be used as a substitute of rhino horn.

Objective To investigate the anti-tumor efficiency of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) induced by activated B lymphocyte after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) alpha fetoprotein (AFP) mRNA transfection.Methods B lymphocytes were fractionated,purified and activated by recombinant human soluble sCD40L.PGEM4Z/AFP/A64-EGFP plasmid was established in vitro,mixed with polymerase T7RNA,and then transcribed into AFP mRNA with Poly (A) sequence.B lymphocytes electrotransfected with AFP mRNA were in the experimental group,B lymphocytes electrotransfected with GAPDH mRNA were in the negative control group,and untreated B lymphocytes were in the blank control group.The expressions of antigen-presenting cell (APC)markers (CD19,CD20,CD21,CD40,CD80,CD83) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of the 3 groups were detected.B lymphocytes of the 3 groups were cultured with T lymphocytes at ratios of 1∶40,1 ∶ 20,1∶10 and 1∶5 to induce and ampify CTL,and then the absorbance values were detected to evaluate the proliferation ability of T lymphocytes.The killing activity of CTL was investigated with HCC cell line SMMC7721 as the target cells.All data were analyzed using the paired t test,one-way analysis of variance or Tamhane's T2 test.Results The expressions of CD19,CD20,CD21,CD40,CD80 and CD83 of the experimental group were 74 ± 11,78 ±8,80 ± 10,90 ± 11,82 ± 6,56 ± 5,which were significantly higher than 51 ± 5,60 ± 7,53 ± 5,73 ± 8,50 ± 5 and 49 ± 6 of the negative control group,and 46 ± 3,54 ± 5,41 ± 3,56 ± 5,52 ± 6 and 21 ± 4 of the blank control group (t =5.302,4.812,7.627,5.932,9.142,7.813; 11.581,7.036,13.592,12.873,9.235,14.619,P ＜ 0.01).The proliferation of CTL of the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the negative control group and blank control group (t =18.203,23.714,15.062,9.417 ; 16.833,19.392,13.871,6.592,P ＜0.01).When the T lymphocytes were mixed with the HCC cell line SMMC7721 at the ratios of 40∶ 1,20∶1and 10∶1,the killing rates of HCC cells by CTL of the exprimental group were 43％ 4％,32％ ± 4％ and 22％ ±3％,which were significantly higher than 15％ ± 5％,7％ ± 3％ and 6％ ±2％ of the negative control group,and 7％±3％,8％±3％ and 9％±4％ of the blank control group (t =9.141,13.272,11.901; 14.372,12.835,9.507,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Activated B lymphocytes after HCC AFP mRNA transfection may effectively induce CTL to kill HCC cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of internal fixation of plates on displaced intra-articular fracture of the calcaneus. Methods 27 patients with calcaneal fracture and treated surgically with open reduction and internal fixation were analyzed retrospectively. Results All the cases are closed fracture. According to the Sanders classification, 18 cases were type 2 calcaneal fractures, and 9 were type 3. 6 cases (22.2%) showed wound-healing problems. The average Bohler's angle before and after surgery was 7.5° and 27.54° respectively. 20 patients were followed up for average 16.8 months, and all showed excellent walking ability and normal gait, and no shoe wear complaints. Conclusion Open reduction and internal fixation can guarantee the anatomic reduction of displaced calcaneal fractures, and the outcomes are satisfied.

Objective:To use polyamidoamine(PAMAM)dendrimer as gene delivery system for survivin gene anti- sense oligodeoxynucleotide(asODN)transfection for inhibition of HepG2 cancer cell growth.Methods:The first to the fifth generation of PAMAM and asODN were used to prepare a complex:PAMAM-asODN.The morphology of PAMAM- asODN was observed using agrose electrophoresis and atomic force microscope(AFM).PAMAM-asODN was then used to transfect HepG2 cells and cells transfected with asODN served as control.The transfection efficacy of PAMAM-asODN into HepG2 cells was observed under confocol microscope,the surviving mRNA expression was analyzed by RT-PCR,and the inhibition of HepG2 cell growth was determined by MTT assay.Results:Agrose electrophoresis showed strong complexing action between PAMAM and asODN and they formed a complex with a diameter of 25 nm.Confocol microscope showed the transfection efficacy of PAMAM-asODN was higher than that of asODN.RT-PCR showed a decreased expression of sur- vivin mRNA in PAMAM-asODN transfected cells.MTF results demonstrated that the growth of HepG2 cell was obviously inhibited after transfection of PAMAM-asODN and the inhibition rate increased with culture time,concentration of com- plex,the generation of PAMAM.PAMAM-asODN at 6.0?mol/L G4.0 resulted in a 55% inhibition of HepG2 cells 96 h after culture.Conclusion:PAMAM dendrimers can efficiently mediate the entry of survivin asODN into HepG2 cells,re- sulting in inhibition of HepG2 cells.PAMAM might be a promising gene carrier for potential molecular therapy of cancer.
