The introduction of pertussis vaccines has greatly decreased the incidence of pertussis,but pertussis is still one of the most common epidemic diseases responsible for infant and child morbidity and mortality,and is perceived as a serious public health problem in many countries.The advent of acellular vaccines has constituted an important advance in the acceptance of the immunization and consequently the control of the disease.Acellular pertussis vaccines result in fewer adverse reactions compared with whole-cell pertussis vaccines,and the efficacy of acellular vaccines is similar to whole-cell pertussis vaccines.This review summarizes the characteristics of virulence factors of Bordetella pertussis.Acellular pertussis vaccines in term of efficacy,safety,and use are discussed emphatically.

0.4?g was defined as the cutoff,then these patients were divided into two groups,the elevated group and the normal group,and were followed up for a month to compared with the rate of cardiac events.Results Among the 62 cases,there were 8 cardiac events in the evelated group of 24 patients.2 cardiac events in the normal group of 38 patients.There was a significant difference between the two groups(P

BACKGROUND:Proximal humeral internal locking system (PHILOS) and locking proximal humerus plate (LPHP) are both new types of internal fixation plates, and have satisfactory effects in the treatment of proximal humerus fractures. However, which is better?
OBJECTIVE:To compare the short-term efficacy of PHILOS and LPHP in the treatment of elderly patients with proximal humeral fractures.
METHODS:The fol ow-up data of 61 elderly patients with proximal humeral fractures were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into PHILOS group (n=34) and LPHP group (n=27). According to the Neer system, there were two parts of fractures in seven cases, three parts of fractures in 11 cases, four parts of fractures in nine cases in LPHP group;there were two parts of fractures in nine cases, three parts of fractures in 14 cases, four parts of fractures in 11 cases in PHILOS group. The operation time, blood loss, and drainage volume were recorded. The time of fracture healing, functional recovery, and complications were observed. Statistical analysis was performed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al 61 patients were fol owed up for 12-36 months (mean 20.6 months). There was no statistical difference in operation time, blood loss, drainage volume, time of fracture healing, functional recovery and complications between the two groups (P>0.05). Both LPHP and PHILOS groups could obtain good effects in treatment of senile proximal humeral fractures. The excellent and good rate was respectively 81.5%and 82.4%in two groups. They have advantages of reliable fixation, few complications, and high satisfaction rate. Currently these locking plates have a high clinical value and can be considered as useful implants for ORIF of displaced and unstable proximal humeral fractures.

Objective To systematically study the chemical constituents in the roots of Gentiana macrophylla from Shaanxi Province. Methods Various column chromatographic techniques were used for isolation and purification of the principles. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data (UV, IR, MS, (~1H-NMR), (~(13)C-NMR), (~1H-~1H COSY) and (~1H-~(13)C COSY), HMBC, and HMQC) and identified by comparing with the authentic substance. Results Five compounds were got from fat-soluble fraction. They are identified as: N-pentacosyl-2-carboxy-benzoyl amide (Ⅰ), 5-carboxyl-3, 4-dihydrogen-1H-2-benzopyran-1-one (Ⅱ), erythrocentaurin (Ⅲ), roburic acid (Ⅳ), oleanolic acid (Ⅴ).

Their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis. Three new xanthones were purified and identified as 1,2,5-trihydroxy-6-methoxyxanthone (1), 1,4,6-trihydroxy-5-methoxyxanthone (2), 1,2,7-trihydroxy-4-( 1,1-dimethylallyl) xanthone (3).

Objective To study the mechanism of oxidative damage in myocardial tissue after limb ischemia reperfusion (IR), and the protective effects of heme oxygenase-1 on myocardial injury in experimental rats. Method The models of bilateral hind limbs ischemia and reperfusion in rats were established by using tourniquets applied to the roots of both hind limbs until palm blanched and pulseless for 4 hours. A total of 56 SD rats were randomly (random number) divided into 7 groups, namely one normal control group ( n = 8) and 6 ischemia-reperfusion groups as per different lengths of reperfusion time, e. g. 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 8 hrs, 16 h rs and 24 hr ( n = 8 each). The experimental rats were sacrificed after different lengths of reperfusion time. Specimens of myocardium and blood were taken for assays of malonaldehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and myeloperoxidase (MPO), and pathological changes of myocardium were observed, and the expressions of HO-1 mRNA in myocardium were detected. Data were analyzed with ANOVA. Results (1) Compared with the control group, the levels of serum MDA and myocardial MDA of rats were increased in all IR groups and were higher (P < 0.05), and the levels of MDA reached the peak after reperfusion for 4 hours. The levels of serum SOD and myocardial SOD in rats of all IR groups were decreased and lower than those in rats of the control group ( P < 0.05), and the levels of serum SOD dropped away to the lowest point after reperfusion for 4 hours, and the levels of myocardial SOD fell off to the bottom after reperfusion for 8 hours. The levels of serum MPO and myocardial MPO were significantly increased in rats of all IR groups compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The levels of serum MPO reached peak after reperfusion for 4 hours, and the levels of myocardial MPO were increased to the highest spot after reperfusion for 6 hours. (2) The pathological changes in myocardium showed the most severe damage after reperfusionfor 4-6 hours.(3) After reperfusion for 2 hours, there were no significant differences in the expression of HO-1 mRNA between IR groups and control group (P >0.05), and after reperfusion for 4 hours and over, the expressions of HO-1 mRNA were markedly increased in IR groups and reached peak after reperfusion for 16 hours in comparison with the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions The activation of neutrophils and free radicals may play a primarily adverse role in myocardial injury after limb IR, and the increase in the expression of HO-1 mRNA lessens the harm effects of IR on myocardium.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have confirmed that rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can differentiate into osteoblasts under osteogenic induction in vitro, stably express the specific phenotype of osteoblasts and have osteogenic ability. Calf cortical bone scaffold with partial cancellous bone has good biocompatibility and degradability, which can be used as a carrier material of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE: To combine rabbit BMSCs with calf bone composite according to the basic principles of bone tissue engineering and to observe the osteogenesis in the New Zealand white rabbits after implantation of BMSCs/calf bone composite into the ilium, thereby providing a direct evidence for preliminary clinical application of tissue-engineered bone products.METHODS: BMSCs/calf cortical bone scaffold with partial cancellous bone (tissue-engineered bone group), simple calf heterogeneous bone (heterogeneous bone group) or autologous iliac bone (autologous iliac bone group) was randomly implanted into the rabbit ilium. The changes of implant surface and tissue reactions around the implant were observed.X-ray examination was performed to observe osteogenic changes at 4, 8, 12, 24 weeks after implantation. Immunohistochemistry staining was used to observe the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After heterogeneous bone implantation, the wound healed well, and there were no systemic or local inflammation and toxicity reactions in all groups. The X-ray results showed that at postoperative 24 weeks, the implant was basically fused with the host bone in the tissue-engineered bone group, but the fusion was unsatisfactory in the heterogeneous bone group. The process of ossifications from cartilages was observed in all groups by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and bone morphogenetic protein 2 was positive for immunohistochemical staining. Findings from in vivo experiments indicate that rabbit BMSCs seeded onto the calf cortical bone scaffold with partial cancellous bone could construct tissue-engineered bone by osteoinductation in vitro in the rabbits.
