OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the rational use of antibiotics in outpatients who had genital tract Mycoplas-ma infections in Yulin area. METHODS:Using the integration culture plate,19 836 outpatient's specimens with suspected Myco-plasma infection from Yulin Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital during 2012 to 2014 were tested,and then the results of drug susceptibility test were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS:In the total of 19 836 inspected specimens,5 640 cases were positive with the rate of 28.4%. The positive rate of Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu),Mycoplasma hominis(Mh),mixed(Uu+ Mh)infection were 88.0%,3.8% and 8.2% respectively. The positive rate of male patient with Mycoplasma infection was lower than female pa-tient(P<0.05). Male and female patients with positive maximum age respectively at the age of 25 to 40 (81.3%) and 20 to 35 years old(78.6%). From 2012 to 2014,Mycoplasma showed different degree of drug resistance to 9 kinds of antibiotics. In gener-al,the resistance rate of Uu to lincocin was close to 100%,Mh to erythromycin,roxithromycin and azithromycin were higher than 70%,and those of Uu+Mh were lower than 10% only to josamcine,minocycline and doxycycline. CONCLUSIONS:During 2012 to 2014,the rate of genital tract Mycoplasma infection in male and female outpatients of Yulin region increased year by year,and the infection mainly caused by Uu with a serious drug resistance. We should also pay attentions to the increase of Mh infection and mixed infection. Josamycin,minocycline and doxcycline can be used as a drug choice for empiric preferred treatment,and other an-tibiotics should be used based on antibiotics susceptibility test results.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive plate oseoynthesis (MIPO) assisted by a self-designed lower limb axial tractor in the treatment of complex tibial plateau fractures. Methods: The data were retrospectively analyzed of the 31 patients who had undergone surgical treatment for complex tibial plateau fractures from June 2015 to April 2018 at Department of Orthopeadics, Hospital Affiliated to Binzhou Medical College. MIPO was conducted with the assistance of the axial tractor in 17 of them. They were 12 men and 5 women with an age of 50.8±14.7 years, with 8 cases of Schatzker type Ⅴ and 9 ones of Schatzker type Ⅵ. MIPO was conducted without the assistance of the axial tractor but with the assistance of manipulation reduction in the other 14 patients. They were 9 men and 5 women with an age of 48.9±9.5 years, with 6 cases of Schatzker type Ⅴ and 8 ones of Schatzker type Ⅵ. The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, intraoperative bleeding, and Rasmussen scores for knee function and medial angle of the proximal tibia at the last follow-up. Results: The 2 groups were comparable due to insignificant differences in the preoperative general data between them (P>0.05). The tractor and manipulation groups were followed up for a mean of 9.8 months and 10.9 months respectively. Bone healing was achieved in all patients. For the tractor and manipulation groups, respectively, the operation time was127.8±40.8 min and 174.1±66.8 min, and the intraoperative bleeding 115.6±41.7 mL and 184.3±91.4 mL, showing significant differences between them (P<0.05). In the tractor group at the last follow-up, the knee flexion was 126.1°±9.3°, the medial angle of the proximal tibial 87.8°±1.4°, the posterior inclination angle 8.7°±3.8° and the Rasmussen score 26.5±2.9 points; in the manipulation group at the final follow-up, the knee flexion was 124.7°±8.9°, the medial angle of the proximal tibial 86.9°±2.1°, the posterior inclination angle 9.8°±4.1° and the Rasmussen score 25.6±3.2 points. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in the above items (P>0.05). Loss of force line was observed in none of the patients at the last follow-up. Conclusion Compared with conventional manipulation reduction, use of our self-designed lower limb axial tractor can shorten operation time, reduce bleeding and facilitate reduction of fracture fragments in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures of Schatzker types Ⅴ and Ⅵ.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic chronic inflammatory disease of unclear pathogenesis that is manifested by a progressive and destructive poly-arthritis. The early diagnosis of RA is critical to determine the severity of the disease, which may have an impact on improving the prognosis and life quality of patients with RA. A variety of autoantibodies and protein biomarkers have been reported in the serum of RA patients. Herein will be reviewed updates in the field of serum autoantibodies and biomarkers of RA, as well as their application in diagnosis, prognosis, and potential future directions for study.

Objective To investigate the effect of periosteum deficiency on the treatment of segmental bone defect of lower extremity by Ilizarov bone transport Technique.Methods From April 2009 to April 2016,data of 54 cases with lower limb segmental bone defect who were treated by Ilizarov bone transport technique were retrospectively analyzed.According to intraoperative observation of the distribution of periosteum at the osteotomy site,all cases were divided into two groups.There were 10 cases in absent periosteum group,including 6 males and 4 females,aged from 23 to 57 years old (mean,38.20±9.90 years old).There were 3 cases locating at femur,and 7 cases at tibia.4 cases had non-infective bone defect,while the other 6 had infective bone defect.Segmental bone defect ranged from 4.0 to 14.0 cm (mean,6.85±2.87 cm).There were 44 cases in normal periosteum group,including 32 males and 12 females,aged from 22 to 65 years old (mean,38.90±10.10 years old).There were 9 cases locating at femur and 35 cases at tibia.12 cases had non-infective bone defect,while 32 cases had infective bone defect.Segmental bone defect ranged from 4.0 to 9.0 cm (mean,6.09±1.54 cm).Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to estimate the pain during bone transport.The distraction index,bone healing index,external fixator index was collected to evaluate the distraction osteogenesis and mineralization.The Paley method was utilized to appraisal the function of proximal joints in bone transport.Results All the 54 cases were followed up for 24-48 months,with an average of 28.50±5.70 months.All skin and soft tissue defects were satisfied healed.All limbs were restored to their original lengths,and bone healing was eventually achieved.There were no statistically significant differences in the distraction index,bone healing index,external fixator index,VAS between absent periosteum group (12.29± 1.04 d/cm,39.00±3.96 d/cm,51.25±3.69 d/cm,3.30± 1.77 score) and normal periosteum group (11.67±0.96 d/cm,38.07±4.22 d/cm,49.74±4.25 d/cm,3.36± 1.66 score)(P ＞ 0.05).Paley adjacent joint function evaluation showed no statistically difference between absent periosteum group [good rate 100％(10/10)] and normal periosteum group [good rate 97.7％ (43/44)] (P=0.901).The overall incidence of complications was 20.0％ (2/10) in the absence of periosteum group,with 1 case of mild infection and 1 cases of tissue contracture incarcerated at the docking site.The overall incidence of complications was 27.3％ (12/44) in the normal of periosteum group,with 2 cases of mild infection,3 cases of poor limb strength alignment,6 cases of tissue contracture incarcerated at the docking site and 1 case of severe foot drop deformity.There was no statistically significant difference in the overall incidence of complications between the two groups (P=0.636).Conclusion The absence of periosteum at the epiphyseal osteotomy site hasno significant effect on Ilizarov bone transport technique in the treatment of segmental bone defects of lower limbs in bone regeneration and healing,mineralization and bone remodeling,and does not increase the incidence of complications.

【Objective】 To establish deferral criterion of HIV ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and electrochemiluminescence immunoassay(ECLIA) by using receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) method to screen HIV reactive blood donors suitable for entering the re-entry process and improve the management efficiency of reactive blood donors. 【Methods】 The test results of 92 001 blood donors from February to September 2019 were analyzed, and 177 reactive samples were screened by conventional screening mode (twice ELISA and once nucleic acid), supplemented with electrochemiluminescence immunoassay assay (ECLIA), and confirmed by Western blotting (WB). Screening reactive samples were divided into three groups: group A was both serological and nucleic acid reactivity, group B was only serological reactive, and group C was only nucleic acid reactivity. Its efficacy in blood donor classification was assessed by drawing ROC curves with 99% specific corresponding S/CO low values as the deferral criterion of the corresponding serological method. 【Results】 1) A total of 177 HIV reactive samples were detected in conventional mode, including 34 in group A, 142 in Group B and 1 in Group C. The positive predictive value (PPV) was 100%, 0.75% and 100%, respectively. ECLIA detection mode (once ECLIA and once NAT), a total of 67 HIV reactive samples including 34 in group A, 32 in group B and 1 in group C, with positive predictive values of 100%, 3.7% and 100%, respectively.2) The HIV test results showed diversity, with 36 true positive samples including 1 HIV elite controller and 3 early HIV infections (1 HIV ELISA antigen/antibody window and 2 ELISA HIV antibody window), and 32 serological and NAT cases were reactive infections.3) The deferral limit of ELISA 1 and ELISA 2 in conventional screening mode were 20.25 and 9.85, respectively, can screen 97.14% (34/35) of all true positive samples in group A and B, except for one ELISA HIV antibody window (ELISA 2 reactivity). The positive predictive values were 93.94% and 92.85%, respectively. The ECLIA deferral limit of 7.83 can screens all true positive samples in Groups A and B (35/35)in ECLIA mode. The positive predictive value was 94.59%. 【Conclusion】 The establishment of deferral limits in this study can effectively screen HIV-positive blood donors, and the number of screened blood donors is greatly reduced, which is helpful to fine and scientific management of HIV-reactive blood donors. The deferral limit values of different testing reagents are quite different, so each laboratory should choose appropriate testing methods to establish the deferral limit values suitable for the laboratory according to its own testing ability, so as to provide technical support for optimizing the process of returning blood donors to the team.

BACKGROUND:Internal tension-reduction technique is to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament through high-strength suture system combined with tendon.It can effectively reduce graft relaxation and frets by sharing the internal load of the knee joint,and has achieved good biomechanical results and clinical efficacy.However,whether it can reduce cartilage degeneration after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction through stress sharing reduction has not been studied. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of internal tension-reduction technique on articular cartilage degeneration in southern Yunnan small-ear pigs undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. METHODS:Ten adult female Yunnan small-ear pigs were selected,and the ipsilateral knee Achilles tendon was taken from the left knee joint for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction(normal group,n=10),and the ipsilateral knee Achilles tendon from the right knee joint combined with internal tension-reduction and augmentation system for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction(tension-reduction group,n=10).One year after surgery,the experimental pigs were sacrificed,and the left and right knee cartilage was taken for hematoxylin-eosin staining,Safranin O-fast green staining,Osteoarthritis Research Society International scoring,and immunohistochemistry staining of type Ⅱ collagen,interleukin-1β,and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the cartilage. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that in the tension-reduction group,there were mild pathologic changes of osteoarthritis,with a low number of empty bone lacunae and no obvious pathological changes such as fibrosis or cell layer breakage;in the normal group,more severe cartilage damage,with an increased number of empty bone lacunae,loss of chondrocytes near the bone and even the formation of fissures.Safranin O-fast green staining indicated that the tension-reduction group had normal cartilage tissue thickness,flat cartilage surface,a neat cell arrangement in a polar pattern,and no swelling or apoptosis,while in the normal group,the thickness of cartilage tissue was obviously thinner,the cell arrangement was disordered with no polarity,the number of cells was reduced,obvious cartilage fractures and cartilage vacuoles formed,and the absence of cells near the central bone was obvious.The Osteoarthritis Research Society International score was significantly lower in the tension-reduction group than in the normal group(P＜0.05).Immunohistochemical findings showed that the protein expression of type Ⅱ collagen in cartilage tissue of the tension-reducing group was higher than that of the normal group(P＜0.05),and the protein expression of interleukin 1β and tumor necrosis factor ɑ in cartilage tissue was lower than that of normal group(P＜0.05).To conclude,internal tension-reduction technique can delay the degeneration of articular cartilage in Yunnan small-eared pigs following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

AIM:To investigate the effect of gastrodin(GAS)on microglia-mediated inflammatory response after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD)neonatal mice by regulating the expression of JAK1/STAT1 pathway through C-C chemokine recepeor 5(CCR5).METHODS:Forty-eight C57BL/6J mice at about 10 days after birth were randomly divided into sham group,HIBD model group and HIBD+GAS group.BV-2 microglia were divided into control(Con)group,oxygen glucose deprivation(OGD)group,oxygen glucose deprivation with gastrodin intervention(OGD+GAS)group,GAS group,Maraviroc(MVC)group,OGD+MVC group,and OGD+MVC+GAS group.The mRNA expression of CCL4 and CCR5 were detected by RT-qPCR.The protein expression of CCR5,p-JAK1,p-STAT1,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1β(IL-1β)were detected by Western blot.The expression of CCR5,p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 in cells were observed by immunofluorescence staining.RESULTS:(1)Compared with sham group,the expression levels of CCL4 and CCR5 mRNA,and CCR5,p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 proteins were significantly higher in the ischemic side of the corpus callosum in HIBD group(P＜0.05).(2)Compared with Con group,the protein levels of CCR5,p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 significantly increased in BV-2 cells of OGD group(P＜0.05).The protein levels of CCR5,p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 in BV-2 cells of OGD+GAS group were significantly lower than those of OGD group(P＜0.05).(3)Maraviroc did not cause significant BV-2 cell death in the 0～80 μmol/L range.The p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 protein levels in MVC+OGD group were significantly lowered compared with OGD group(P＜0.05),but no significant difference was found between MVC+ OGD and OGD+MVC+GAS groups.CONCLUSION:Gastrodin can exert neuroprotective effects via CCR5/JAK1/STAT1 signaling pathway.

【Objective】 To perform electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) and Western blotting (WB) confirmation tests for HIV reactive samples in blood screening, and analyze the correlation between ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), ECLIA results and confirmed infection, so as to provide data support for the application of ECLIA in blood screening. 【Methods】 177 HIV reactive samples in blood screening testing detected by our laboratory from February to October 2019 were collected, of which 137 were reactiv to isolated ELISA reagent e, 39 to dual ELISA reagent, and 1 in window period. Ten maker-negative samples were randomly selected to undergo ECLIA with the above 177 samples. HIV reactive samples were sent to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for confirmation tests, and the results were analyzed and compared. 【Results】 Among the 177 HIV reactive samples, 66 were ECLIA reactive, 111 negative, and the 10 maker-negative samples remained negative. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and total concordance rate of ECLIA were 97.1%, 81.1%, 55%, 99.1% and 84.2%, respectively, showing better performance than that of two ELISA reagents(P<0.05) with exception of sensitivity(P>0.05). The positive predictive value and specificity were tested by chi-square test, and the difference between ECLIA and reagent 2 was statistically significant (P<0.05). The ECLIA results showed significant correlation with the confirmation results with good consistency(examed by Kappa test). Among the three reagents, ECLIA presented highest accuracy and largest Youden index. 【Conclusion】 ECLIA presents high detection sensitivity, which can improve the detection ability of early HIV infection and shorten the window period of HIV detection, therefore should be popularized in blood screening.
