Objective:To differentitate the myogenic from arthrogenic component of knee contracture resulting from being immobilized in extension for 4 weeks. Method:Ten rabbits were used as experimental animals. The right hindlimbs were immobilized with knee in extension for 4 weeks, while the left severed as controls. The range of motion ( ROM ) of both knees were measured before and after myotomy. Result:In immobilized and control hindlimbs, the mean ROM of the knee were 79.5°and 138.5°, respectively. The gain of ROM after myotomy in immobilized and control hindlimbs were 8.7° ±0. 45°, 11.6° +0.58°, respectively. Only 14.75% of the limitation of motion in ROM were accounted for by the myotomy component. Conclusion:After immobilizing for 4 weeks, the ROM of knee was significantly limited. However, the myogenic part was small and not different from normals.

Objective To investigate the influence of gene therapy using survivin as a gene target on biological behavior of pancreatic carcinoma cell line. Methods Chemically synthesized siRNA and shRNA in pGCSi vector were used to silence survivin expression of pancreatic carcinoma cell line PaTu8988. The therapeutical effects of survivin as a gene target were evaluated through determination of the down-regulation of survivin gene expression, cellular shape, cell apoptosis, cell viability and apoptosis signal pathway changes. Results After transfection of different arrays of siRNA and shRNA vectors to silence the survivin expression, survivin mRNA and protein levels were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) ; PI staining revealed the presence of karyopyknosis, the cell apoptosis index was more than 20%; hypodiploid DNA content before G0/G1 detected by flow cytometry ; cell viability measured by MTT assay was significantly decreased (P <0.05) ; the activity of caspase-3 remarkably increased (P < 0. 05). Conclusions The pancreatic carcinoma cell line PaTu8988 be induced to promote spontaneous apoptosis procedure through silencing survivin expression by RNAi, which could accelerate carcinoma cell apoptosis and improve therapeutic effect on pancreatic carcinoma.

Objective:
To investigate the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis in Ningbo City from 2015 to 2020, so as to provide insights into tuberculosis control.
Methods:
The data of pulmonary tuberculosis cases in Ningbo City from 2015 to 2020 were collected from Tuberculosis Management Information System of China Disease Control and Prevention Information System, and were linked with the geographic information database of Ningbo Planning Design and Research Institute. The software SaTScan version 10.3 was employed for monthly spatio-temporal scanning and cluster analysis of reported pulmonary tuberculosis cases, populations, longitude and latitude in 153 townships of Ningbo City from 2015 to 2020.
Results:
There were one class Ⅰ cluster and two class Ⅱ clusters of pulmonary tuberculosis cases in Ningbo City from 2015 to 2020, and the class Ⅰ cluster was centered in Song'ao Township and covered 37 townships, with aggregation time from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017, while class Ⅱ clusters were covered 38 tounships which were centered in Sanqishi Township of Yuyao County, and one township in Hangzhou Bay New Town. The aggregation time was from January to June in 2015 and 2016, from March to August between 2017 and 2019 and between May and October, 2020. The overall reported incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis appeared a tendency towards a decline in each township of Ningbo City from 2015 to 2020; however, the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis was more than 80 per 100 thousand in Fuming Township of Yinzhou District and Juexi Township of Xiangshan County in 2020.
Conclusions
There were significant spatio-temporal clustering characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis incidence at a township level in Ningbo City from 2015 to 2020, and the clusters were mainly concentrated in the central and eastern Ningbo City. The reported incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis is high in Fuming Township of Yinzhou District and Juexi Township of Xiangshan County, where targeted regional tuberculosis control strategies should be implemented.

Objective To assess the efficacy of triple therapy including proton pump inhibitor (PPI), levofloxacin and amoxicillin for the first-line treatment of H. pylori infection, and the relation between H. pylori eradication and CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism. Methods Two hundred and five H. pylori-positive patients were divided into group E_(20) (esomeprazole 20 mg twice daily), group E_(40)(esomeprazote 40 mg twice daily),group R (rabeprazole 10 mg twice daily) and group L (lansoprazole 30 mg twice daily). Besides PPI, all patients were received levofloxacin 500 mg daily and amoxicillin 1000 mg twice daily for 1 week. The CYP2C19 genotypes were detected in 161 patients. The eradication of H. pylori were analyzed by intention-to-treat (ITT) and per protocol (PP) methods.ResultsThe H. pylori eradication was 86.70% in group E_(20), 88.5% in group E_(40),73.5% in group R and 78.1% in group L. Whereas the H. pylori eradication was 90% in patients with PM genotype,81.5% in patients with HetEM genotype and 82.1% in patients with HomEM genotype. The H.pylori eradication was 83.4% and 79.00% by per protocol (PP) and intention-to-treat (ITT) analyses,respectively. There was no significant difference in H. pylori eradication among four groups (P>0.05), and no relation was found between H. pylori eradication and genotypes (P>0.05). Conclusions PPI based triple therapy was effective in eradication of H. pylori, which is not influenced by CYP2C19 genotypes.
