Uveitis is an important autoimmune disease.Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27-associated anterior uveitis is the most common form of anterior uveitis.HLA-B27-associated anterior uveitis has distinct ocular,systemic,and genetic features.It attacks young subjects and leads to the damage of visual function due to the recurrence and complications.However,the pathologic mechanism of HLA-B27-associated anterior uveitis is still not thoroughly understood,and effective therapy is still unavailable.There are currently many experimental researches which attamp to study the etiology and develop an effective therapy for HLA-B27 acute anterior uveitis.Thus,various animal models of acute anterior uveitis such as endotoxin-induced uveitis and HLA-B27 transgenic animals including rat and mouse are established.Different therapy regimens have been designed both in clinical trial and experimental study and aquired promising achievements.Epidemiology,pathologic mechanism,different animal models and potential new therapies such as anti-TNFα,oral associated peptides tolerance and gene therapy are overviewed.

Objective To analyze the current situation of voluntary counseling and testing(VCT) and improve HIV/AIDS prevention and control in Jiangxi province.Method VCT services in the province were analyzed using descriptive methodology.Result The province is in shortage of full time VCT workers.Of the individuals receiving pre-testing counseling,those receiving post-testing counseling and receiving referral counseling accounted for 5.22% and 1.39%,respectively.The individuals receiving tests mostly were aged 20-29 years,and a little less were aged 30-39 years.Higher positive rates of HIV screening tests were found in Pingxiang and Nanchang cities,accounting for 39.13% and 26.09%,respectively.Conclusion To improve VCT service and contain the spread of HIV/AIDS in this province,it is necessary to establish VCT networks,upgrade quality of counseling service and publicize VCT and its outreach activities among target population.

Hospital business process optimization and reengineering is an effective method and channel for hospitals to enhance medical and management quality, realize cost minimization, improve efficiency, and increase benefits. The paper gives an account of the theories, methods, steps, relevant techniques, and tools of hospital business process optimization and reengineering, discusses the systematic framework for hospital business process improvement and key success factors and obstacles for hospital business process reengineering, analyzes the relationship of business process reengineering with hospital organizational structures and hospital information systems, and puts forward assessment criteria for hospital business process optimization and reengineering.

OBJECTIVE: Polymorphism of interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) gene was found being related with the susceptibility to several immune-related diseases. For the terminal differentiation of IL-17-producing effecter T-helper cells in vivo, the IL-23R gene is very important. As proved recently, Th17 cells might have a great influence to the pathogenesis of allergic airways disease. Our intention was paid to find any association between the polymorphisms in the IL-23R gene and allergic rhinitis(AR) in Chinese population. METHOD: A group of patients was involved in a case-control comparison, consisted of 239 AR patients and 271 control Chinese subjects. The study claimed to take some blood samples for DNA extraction and select 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in IL-23R individually genotyped by the PCR-RFLP method. RESULT: Comparison with the controls, a great growing prevalence of the homozygous rs7517847 GG genotype and G allele appeared in AR patients (P < 0.05, respectively). Besides, a great increased frequency of the GGA haplotypes was presented in AR patients in comparison with the controls (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The results demonstrated a important association pattern between polymorphisms in IL-23R and AR in Chinese population. Between rs7517847 in an SNP of IL-23R and AR, a great association was identified.

Objective To explore the clinical value of transvaginal three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound in assessing effects of Chinese herbal drugs on improving endometrial receptivity in patients with thin endometrium.Methods A total of 76 cases of patients diagnosed with thin endometrium in Jiangbei District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2015 to October 2016 were selected and treated with Chinese herbal prescription for three months.The endometrial thickness,endometrial volume and blood flow indexes before and after treatment were measured by using transvaginal three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound.Results After 3 months treatment,the endometrial thickness and endometrial volume were increased,and the pulse index (PI) and resistance index (RI) of endometrial blood flow were decreased,compared with those before treatment,there were statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The results of three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound indicates that after 3 months treatment the vascularization index (VI),flow index (FI) and vascularization flow index (VFI) were significantly higher than those before treatment,there were statistically significant differences (P＜0.05).Conclusion The Chinese herbal prescription could increase the thickness and volume of endometrium,augment blood supply,and improve endometrial receptivity significantly.Transvaginal color three-dimensional Doppler ultrasound is a convenient and objective method for evaluating clinical efficacy of Chinese herbal prescription in patients with thin endometrium,which has high practical value.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus umbilicus application with Chinese medicine for detrusor underactivity.Methods:A total of 46 male patients with detrusor underactivity who were admitted to our hospital between January and December 2017 were randomized into a control group and an observation group,with 23 cases in each group.The control group received intermittent catheterization and routine nursing,and the observation group was treated with acupuncture plus umbilicus application with Chinese medicine on the basis of the treatment of the control group.The comprehensive efficacy,the improvement of bladder urine residue and maximum flow rate of the two groups were observed.Results:No cases dropped out in the two groups.After the intervention,the total effective rate of the observation group was 78.3％,which was significantly higher than 52.2％ of the control group (P＜0.05).After intervention,the improvements of bladder urine residue and maximum flow rate in the observation group were statistically different from those in the control group (both P＜0.05).Conclusion:The combination of acupuncture and umbilicus application with Chinese medicine added on the basis of intermittent catheterization and routine nursing has a certain effect in treating male patients with detrusor underactivity,and is worth further clinical study.

Proteins extracted from two varieties of Chinese roses leaves were separated by two- dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE) with immobilized pH gradient (IPG). Many difference proteins were isolated with molecular weights ranging 10-30 kDa and pI5-6. Three proteins of high levels observed in a gel were excised and identified using peptide mass fingerprinting and MS-MS. A summary of the identified proteins and their putative functions are presented. They are identified as eIF-5A、LEA protein and Hsp17. 5. Functions of these proteins in plant tolerance to high temperature were discussed.
