ve To explore the sanitary quality of swimming pool water of public places. Methods The sanitary quality of swimming pool water of 7 public places was monitored, and the sanitory facilities equiped in swim-ming pools were investigated in Jiangyin. Results The pH values, the levels of turbidity and urea in swimming pool water all accorded with the related sanitary standards, and their related qualified rates were 93.9% , 98.5% and 98.5% respectively. For water temperature and residual chlorine, the qualified rates were lower, 3.0% and 19.7% respectively. Both the levels of turbidity and urea were positively correlated with the openning durations of swimming pools (P

Objective To investigate the effect of a novel isoflavone compound(F11) on the plasma lipid and cholesterol of the ovarectomied rat.Methods Female SD rats at age of 3 months old were randomly divided into 6 groups,that is,sham operation group(Sham),normal saline group(2 ml/d),estradiol group(E2,50 ?g?kg-1?d-1),and 3 F11 groups(15,50,150 mg?kg-1?d-1).Besides the Sham group,the ovary of the rats from other groups were resected,and received the injection as above mentioned.All rats were killed 10 weeks later,and their plasma lipid,total cholesterol,LDL,HDL,and body weight and uterine weight were measured.Results The plasma lipid,total cholesterol,LDL,HDL were significantly different in normal saline group and 4 treatment group(P

Objective To identify the important regulatory elements in the promoter of human CD2 associated protein(CD2AP) by conserved sequence analysis among different species and luciferase functional detection. Methods The promoter sequences of CD2AP from different species were analyzed by BLAST. Plasmids containing different length of deletion mutations of human CD2AP promoter were constructed. Pro-moter activities were tested in 3 kinds of cells from different species by luciferase analysis and were tested in HEK-293 cells treated with all-trans-retinoic acid. Results Homologous sequence comparison in CD2AP promoter area among human, cattle and pig showed that putative specific protein 1 (Sp1) sites and down-stream promoter element (DPE) were highly evolutional]y conserved. Progressive deletion luciferase analysis of DNA fragments revealed similar promoter activity style among 3 different cell lines from 3 different spe-cies, HEK-293, BHK-21 and Vero cells. One basic promoter activity located within 500 bp upstream of ATG. Fragments of further upstream 100 bp or more had drastically 10 times increased promoter activity. Two putative Sp1 sites were in this 100 bp region. All-trans-retinoic acid decreased the luciferase activity of CD2AP promoter. Conclusion Putative Spl sites and DPE have important functions in the promoter activity of CD2AP.

OBJECTIVETo dicuss the application and therapeutic effect of middle-forearm flap based on perforator of ulnar artery for electrical burn wound on the wrist.

METHODSFrom Oct. 2009 to Oct. 2012, 10 cases of electrical burn wounds on the wrist were treated. A line from radialis medial epicondyle of humerus to the interior radialis pisiform bone was connected as flap axis. At the midpoint of the line, Doppler flow imaging meter was used to detect the emerging point of perforator vessel. The flap was designed and harvested. The flap was transferred reversely, with superficial vein retaining which was anastomosed with vein at recipient sites in 3 cases. The wounds in the donor sites were closed directly in 2 cases, and with skin graft in 8 cases.

RESULTSAll the 10 flaps survived completely. 7 cases without vein anastomosis underwent obvious flap edema during 2-4 days postoperatively, which resovled 1 week later. Sub-flap tissue necrosis and infection happened in 2 cases, which healed after dressing and drainage. Patients were followed up for 3-36 months with satisfactory results.

CONCLUSIONSThe middle-forearm flap based on perforator of ulnar artery has a stable and reliable blood supply. It offers a new choice for the electric burn wound on the wrist, especially at the ulnar side.

Objective To evaluate the value of interventional therapy in treatment of iliac compression syndrome (ICS) and subsequent venous thrombosis. Methods Examined by DSA, 125 cases were diagnosed of iliac vein compression and subsequent thrombosis. In 39 cases of ICS ( group 1 ), left: right = 4.6: 1. In 86 cases of ICS complicated with subsequent thrombosis (group 2), left: right = 4.7: 1. The patients of iliac vein compression and compression-related iliac vein stenosis or occlusion without fresh thrombus were treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and self-expandable stenting. In those cases with fresh thrombosis the inferior vena cava filter were inserted before thrombosis suction, mechanical thrombus ablation, PTA, stenting and transcatheter thrombolysis. The Chi-square test for comparison of proportions was used to test statistical significance. Results In 39 cases of ICS, 38 cases were treated by PTA and stenting. In 86 cases of deep vein thrombosis complicated with ICS, 83 cases were treated by various interventional therapy. There was no significant difference in the efficiency of intraluminal treatment between the two groups at discharge (97.4% and 96.5%, X2 =0.000,P >0.05) and at 6 months follow-up(96.3% and 90.2%, X2 = 0.266, P > 0.05 ), the difference in excellent-good rate of the two groups was significant at discharge (94.9% and 79.1%, X2=3.879, P <0.05) and at 6 months follow-up (92.6% and 68.6% ,X2 =4.441,P <0.05). Conclusions Interventioual treatment for ICS and secondary thrombosis is safe and effective.

PDGF-A gene was transfected into DMSCs with the help of Fugene 6 transfection reagent. Results Full cDNA sequence encoding human PDGF-A gene had been cloned, which sequence was consistent with the reported sequence in GenBank by sequence assaying. Conclusion cDNA sequence encoding human PDGF-A gene was successfully cloned into pEGFP-N1. The transient expression of PDGF-A gene in DMSCs has been realized.

Amniotic membrane is composed of amniotic epithelium, basement-membrane and stroma. Amniotic membrane is an easily obtained biomaterial and easily to be also processed, preserved and transported. However, its applicability will not be destroyed after it has been preserved for a long time(about one year). Thus it has been utilized widely in laboratory and clinical surgery. Generally, homologous amniotic membrane does not induce rejection after allotransplantation, and it is a bio-absorbable and degradable material. The purpose of this paper is to review the characteristics of amniotic membrane that makes it potentially useful in promoting tissue repair.
