Objective To compare the immune protective effect of different antigens of Trichinella spiralis:excretory-secretory(ES) antigen of adult worms, ES antigen of muscle larva and their mixed antigens in mice. Methods ES antigens of Trichinella spiralis adult worms and muscle larva were produced by the physiological saline culture methods. The ES antigens of Trichinella spiralis adult worms, muscle larva and the mix were used to immunize mice 3 times at 7 day interval, adjuvant control and normal control were set up. Seven day after the final immunization, each mouse was orally challenged with 200 Trichinella spiralis larva. Intestinal adult worms and muscle larva of Trichinella spiralis of each group were recoveried and examined on Day 7 and Day 30 post-challenge,respectively. Results The intestinal adult worms of Trichinella spiralis reduced by 87.95%, 69.48% and 84.34% in the adult worm ES antigen group, muscle larval ES antigen group and their mixed antigen group, respectively, while muscle larva reduced by 74.79%, 87.97% and 86.87% respectively. Adult worm reduction rates of the adult worm ES antigen group and mixed antigen group were higher than those of muscle larval ES antigen group (P

ObjectiveTo assess the relationship between Candida adhesivity and biofilm formation. MethodsEight Candida strains belonging to 8 species and 1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain were cultured in yeast peptone dextrose (YPD) fluid and agar medium respectively. The flocculation and adhesion of Candida were observed. Candida biofilm models were developed in 96-well microculture plates. The kinetics of biofilm formation was measured. ResultsAll the 9 fungal strains had flocculation capability and could adhere to the surface of the yeast peptone dextrose agar medium. After mild shaking of the fluid medium, it is difficult for C. albicans, C. kefyr, C. glabrata and C. tropicalis to resuspend, but easy for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The adhesivity of C. albicans, C. kefyr, C. glabrata and C. tropicalis was stronger than that of the other Candida strains. Common pathogenic Candida strains could form biofilm, and the metabolic activity of Candida cells in the biofilm increased over time. A significant increment was observed in the ability of C. albicans and C. kefyr to form biofilm compared with the other species(all P ＜ 0.05), and in that of C. tropicalis and C. glabrata compared with C. krusei, C. parapsilosis and C. gulliermondii (all P ＜ 0.05). The nonpathogenic Saccharomyces cerevisiae could not form biofilm. ConclusionsCandida has the ability to adhere and form biofilm,and the ability varies with Candida species. Moreover, the ability to form biofilm positively correlates with the adhesivity of Candida.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of adefovir dipivoxil in antiviral treatment of chronic hepatitis B and its effect on peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets.Methods 40 cases of patients with chronic hepatitis B were selected from The Fourth People’s Hospital of Qinghai in October 2009 to June 2012,the patients were given the antiviral treatment of adefovir dipivoxil.Before treatment,3 months,6 months and 12 months after treatment,the changes of liver function indicators of alanine transaminase(ALT),aspartate transaminase(AST)and total bilirubin(TBiL),and hepatitis B virus-DNA(HBV-DNA)were recorded;the total effective rate was observed;the peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets changes was tested and analyzed by flow cytometry.Results The ALT,AST and TBiL of the patients all improved good,and the indicators of ALT,AST and TBiL after 12 months decreased significantly than before treatment,the HBV-DNA testing of the patients recovered negative,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 );the total effective rate of hepatitis B patients is 92.5%;the peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets has no significant improvement in patients after antiviral treatment for 3 months.After the treatment for 6 months and 12 months,the CD4 +T and CD4 +/CD8 +T were significantly higher than those before treatment,there was no significant changes in CD3 +T and CD8 +T before and after treatment.Conclusion Adefovir dipivoxil has a good clinical efficacy in antiviral treatment of chronic hepatitis B,and can significantly improve the patients’liver function,improve peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets imbalance.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different phototherapy intensities on the levels of malondialdehyde, a peroxidation product of intralipid, vitamin C and vitamin E in parenteral nutrition for premature infants.Methods:The parenteral nutrition for premature infants was prepared under strict aseptic condition and was divided into four groups based on different phototherapy intensities in simulated clinical settings, which were indoor light group, single-, double-, and three-sided phototherapy group. According to whether the nutrient solution shielded for light or not, each group was further divided into two subgroups: exposure or non-exposure group. The levels of malondialdehyde, vitamin C and vitamin E in all groups before phototherapy and 6, 12, 18, and 24 h after phototherapy were measured. Ten samples of parenteral nutrient solutions were prepared for each group, of which 2 ml were extracted for test at different time points. Repeated measurement analysis of variance was used for data analysis and the results were adjusted using Greenhouse-Geisser method if failed in Mauchly sphere test.Results:With the increase of phototherapy time, the malondialdehyde level increased in the exposure and the non-exposure subgroups in the one-sided phototherapy group [before phototherapy: (3.777±0.112) vs (3.746±0.141) nmol/ml; phototherapy for 6 h: (3.808±0.122) vs (3.715±0.145) nmol/ml; 12 h: (4.546±0.138) vs (4.507±0.136) nmol/ml; 18 h: (6.116±0.151) vs (5.239±0.156) nmol/ml; 24 h: (7.569±0.136) vs (5.300±0.200) nmol/ml; all P<0.05], but the level of vitamin C [before phototherapy: (62.507±0.205) vs (62.341±0.144)μg/ml; phototherapy for 6 h: (51.211±0.086) vs (58.128±0.076) μg/ml; 12 h: (43.288±0.084) vs (55.351±0.050) μg/ml; 18 h: (35.758±0.113) vs (51.215±0.093) μg/ml; 24 h: (33.473±0.075) vs (48.473±0.080)μg/ml] and vitamin E decreased [before phototherapy: (4.101±0.132) vs (4.084±0.141) μg/ml; phototherapy for 6 h: (3.761±0.119) vs (3.904±0.075) μg/ml; 12 h: (3.654±0.092) vs (3.729±0.087) μg/ml; 18 h: (3.385±0.102) vs (3.582±0.119) μg/ml; 24 h: (3.313±0.127) vs (3.438±0.113) μg/ml, all P<0.05]. The same situation was also observed in indoor light group, double-, and three-sided phototherapy groups. The malondialdehyde level at different time in the exposure subgroups were higher but the vitamin C and vitamin E levels were lower than those in the non-exposure subgroups, regardless of the phototherapy intensities (all P<0.001). (2) The analysis of all exposure phototherapy subgroups showed that the higher the intensity of light therapy, the higher the malondialdehyde level, and the lower the level of vitamin C and vitamin E, with statistical significance differences in any pairwise comparison. Analysis of all non-exposure subgroups showed statistically significant differences in the malondialdehyde level in any pairwise comparison (all P<0.05) except for the comparison between indoor light group and single-sided phototherapy group ( F=2.383. P=0.140). Moreover, the greater the phototherapy intensities, the lower vitamin C level, with statistically significant differences in any pairwise comparison. And statistical significance differences were observed in the vitamin E level in any pairwise comparison (all P<0.05) except for the comparison between double- and three-sided phototherapy groups ( F=1.358, P=0.259). Conclusions:Phototherapy can increase the malondialdehyde level in parenteral nutrient solution for premature infants and the degree of intralipid peroxidation, but can also lead to vitamin C and vitamin E loss in the parenteral nutrient and weaken its antioxidant capacity.

Objective To investigate the factors related with plagiocephaly and brachycephaly. Methods 239 infants with plagiocephaly and brachycephaly were investigated, and analyzed with univariate analyses and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results The factors, such as gestational age birth (OR=0.636, P<0.001), birth weight (OR=0.095, P<0.001), time of hospitalization (OR=1.307, P<0.001), preterm birth (OR=2.649, P<0.001), stay in newborn intensive care unit (OR=4.456, P<0.001), change the position (OR=0.046, P<0.001), accepted early intervention guidance (OR=0.054, P<0.001), were significantly related with plagiocephaly and brachycephaly. Conclusion Preterm birth, low birth weight, and newborn complications are the risk factors for plagiocephaly and brachycephaly, while change the position and early intervention may prevent it.

A total of 11 200 subjects from urban and rural areas of Taocheng of Hebei Province were surveyed for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) knowledge with self-made questionnaire. Our results showed that of the 11200 participants, there were 3708 subjects (33.11%) knew CPR; 6105 subjects (54.51%) knew but couldnt put it into practice; and 1387 subjects (12.38%) didn't know CPR. There was a significant difference in CPR awareness rate among people with different education level and profession (P <0.01). Awareness of emergency treatment and therapeutic technique was proved to be low among urban and rural residents, especially those living at poor-educated small towns. We suggest that more attention should be paid to increased awareness of CPR and its technique to improve to outcome of the treatment.

Objective To study the value of copeptin and APACHE Ⅱ used for assessing acute paraquat poisoning (APP). Methods One hundred and twenty six APP patients were divided into survival group (n = 58) and death group (n = 68), with clinical death as the endpoint of observation. 3 mL blood was obtained from each subject at 2 h , 24 h and 7 d after admission for detecting the levels of copeptin , and APACHE Ⅱ scores were recorded at the same time. Results There was significant difference in dosages of paraquat taken in the death group and the survival group , but the differences were significant in the rescue time , the first time for hemoperfusion and the times for hemoperfusion. 2 h after admission , the death group and survival group had significant difference in elevated copeptin but no significant difference in scores by APACHE Ⅱ. 24 h after admission copeptin decreased to normal level in the survival group but maintained at a higher level in the death group, while the scores by APACHE Ⅱ had insignificant difference between two groups. 7 d after admission, copeptin kept at a higher level and the scores by APACHE Ⅱwere significantly increased in the death group , with significant differences compared to the survival group. The oral doses of pesticides the patients took were positively correlated with copeptin level and scores by APACHE Ⅱ. Conclusion Repeated detection of copeptin and APACHE Ⅱ score are of clinical importance for the assessment of prognosis of APP patients and reasonable distribution of medical resources.

Objective To investigate the possible association between the thrombospandin-1(TSP-1) gene GI678A (Ala523Thr)polymorphism and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in a Chinese Han population.Method he ease cohort studied was compsed of 412 hospitalized patients with ACS recruited from four participating hospitals between November 2003 and May 2006.The diagnosis of ACS was based on the criteria of AHA/ACC set in 2002.The eontrul group was consisted of 319 age- and sex-matched subjects from partiei pating hospitals,and they were free from coronary artery disease judged by history,clinical examination,electrocardiography,exercise test and angiography.The TSP-1 GI678A polymorphism was determined by polymerase ehain reaction and restriction fragment length polymurphism analysis(PCR-RFLP).Results The prevalence OfAA genotype of the G1678A polymorphismin patients with ACS was significantly higher than that in the control subjects (49.5%% vs.40.4%,P=0.015).The frequencies of GA and GG genotypes were not significantly different between patients with ACS and controls (CA:39.3% vs.46.1%,P=0.070;CA;11.2% vs.13.5%,P=0.340).The frequencies of A allele in the ACS group and control group were 69.2% and 63.5%,respectively (P=0.022).Furthermore,multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the AA genotype was a significant risk factor for ACS (OR=1.52;95% CI:1.11～2.08;P=0.010).Conclusions The present findings suggest that the AA genotype in TSP-1 gene GI678A polymorphism may be associated with a risk factor for ACS in the Hart nationality of China.The AA genotype may be a genetic marker of the liability to the inheritance of AC,S.
