Objective:To analyze the polymorphism of urease B gene(ureB) from different Hp strains. Methods:The sequences of ureB gene from 14 different Hp strains were amplified by PCR to analyze PCR-RFLP with HaeⅢ digestion.At the same time,the sequence of ureB gene was analyzed with biochemical software to compare the homology of nucleotide and amino acid sequence and to profile the phylogenetic tree. Results: The results of 1.7 kb ureB gene digested with HaeⅢ showed there were 2-5 band types in 14 different Hp strains and formed five distinct RFLP types.The two reference strains had the same RFLP type as 3 clinical isolates while the other clinical isolates and 3 isolates from animal model belong to 4 different RFLP types respectively.The nucleotide sequences and putative amino acide sequences of Hp ureB were compared.The various ureB sequences had high homologies(more than 96.6% and 98% in nucleotide sequences and amino acide sequences respectively) among 14 Hp strains.Particularly,there was the highest homologies(100%) between CCS9801、CCS9806、M3 and M10.Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that two reference strains and other isolates from clinical patients and Hp-infected mice model were located in two different lineage respectively in phylogenetic tree of nucleotide sequences while there were some variance in phylogenetic tree of amino acide sequences. Conclusion: Hp ureB was high conserved and homologous in the gene level as well as in the protein level.

Objective To observe the effect of dexamethasone(Dex)on the proliferation and os- teogenic differentiation of human marrow stromal cells(MSCs)in vitro.Methods The primary human MSCs were isolated and cultured by Ficoll seperation culture in vitro.In subcultures,human MSCs were respectively treated with dexamethasone 10~(-9),10~(-8) and 10~(-7) mol/L.The proliferation of human MSCs was measured using MTF method;cytoplasmic alkaline phosphatase(ALP)activity was measured;the osteogenic marker osteopontin (OPN)mRNA were examined by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results The op- tical density values in cultures treated with dexamethasone 10~(-8) and 10~(-7) mol/L for 8 days were significantly lower than those in the controls(P<0.05).Treatment of cells with Dex for 12 days led to a significant increase in cytoplasmic ALP activity(P<0.05)in a dose-dependent manner.Dex induced OPN mRNA.Conclusion Dex inhibits the proliferation of human MSCs and dexamethasone 10~(-7) mol/L leads to a strong decrease in cell number.Dex induces human MSCs differentiate to osteoblastic cells.

Thymus,a main organ for T cell development,plays a pivotal role in adaptive immune response and dealing with the threaten from pathogens and tumors.With the deep understanding of the thymus,people have been realizing that the thymus is extremely sensitive to acute and chronic injuries as well as involution with age.Thymus regeneration can recover its function to a certain level.Up to now,these methods including adoptive thymic epithelial progenitor cells immunotherapy,injection of IL-2 and angiogenesis factor and regulation of c-Met signal are able to promote thymus recovery and T cell regeneration.

BACKGROUND: Xinjiang is a multi-ethnic region with significant differences in local geographical position, economic development and climatic environment. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the occurrence and development tendency of birth defects, disease categories and disparity among different ethnic groups and regions in Xinjiang.METHODS: A stratified cluster random sampling observation was performed in 13 counties (cities) according to the status of ethnical distribution and local economics of Xinjiang. Quarter Report Sheet on Babies and The defect babies register card were filled as the scheme of Chinese birth defect monitoring, and ICD10 diagnostic code was adopted in birth defect diagnosis. The birth defects rate was calculated from January 2005 to December 2008, and the disease categories and disparity among different ethnic groups and regions in Xinjiang were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The average incidence rate of birth defect was 9.74‰, which was dramatically descended in 2006 and ascended afterward yearly. The incidence rate of countryside was higher than city, and male more than female. In geography, south of Tianshan Mountain was higher than north and east in birth defect incidence. Among major ethnic groups in Xinjiang, Sibe and Uygur had the highest birth defect incidence rate, followed by Man, Hazakh, and Han. The birth defect incidence of Han, Uygur and Hazakh people showed descend tendency, Hui, Mongolia, and Man people fluctuated, yet Sibe's rate had a change of rise and fall. The first five birth defect entities were neural tube deformity, cleft lips, anencephaly, congenital hydrocephalus and cleft palate combined with cleft lips. The birth defects rates are different from ethnic groups and regions in Xinjiang.

Objective To observe the effects of tissue factor pathway inhibitor(TFPI) on thrombosis formation in rabbit carotid arteries after ballon injury. Methods Fouty rabbits with the weight 2.5-3.0 kg were respectively divided into 4 groups, Ad-TFPI, Ad-LacZ, PBS and normal control groups. The normal control group was not given any treatment and other 3 groups were given 0.2 ml Ad-TFPI, Ad-LacZ or PBS reproduced by the Dispatch catheter respectively after the PTCA balloon iniury on the right carotid arteries. Ten days after gene transfer the repeated balloon injury was performed in the 3 groups, and the first balloon injury was performed in the normal control group by the same method. The carotid blood flow was recovered immediately after the injury. Thirty minutes later all the animals were sacrificed. The injured carotid arteries and one part of contralateral normal artery were cut down, scissored along the long axis, flattened and fixed in the 2% glutaral. The platelet aggregation and thrombosis formation on the luminal surfaces was observed under electron microscope. Results The electron microscope results showed that the vascular endothelial cell structure was integrated and lined up in order in the nomal artery which had no any injury. After the balloon injury in the normal control group, the structure of the endothelial cell was disintegrated, and there was some platelet aggregation but no fibrosis formation. A large amount of platelet aggregated but no fibrosis formed in Ad-TFPI group after the repeated balloon injury. A large amount of fibrosis formed and red cells piled up in the Ad-LacZ and PBS group. The positive rate of thrombosis formation among groups had siginificant differences(χ2=14.95, P<0.01). The positive rate in Ad-TFPI group(20%) was lower than that in Ad-LacZ group(80%, χ2=7.20, P<0.01) and PBS group(70%, χ2=5.05, P<0.05), but was higher than that in the normal control group(10%, χ2=0.39, P>0.05). The positive rate in Ad-LacZ group(80%) was higher than in the normal control group(10%, χ2=9.90, P<0.01) and in the PBS group(70%, χ2=0.27, P> 0.05). The positive rate in PBS group(70%) was higher than that in the normal control group(10%, χ2=7.50, P< 0.01). Conclusions The repeated balloon injury method can cause a large amount of fibrosis formation in the rabbit carotid. TFPI gene inhibits thrombosis formation in balloon-injured rabbit carotid arteries.

OBJECTIVE Through nosocomial infection targeted surveillance in intensive care unit(ICU),to evaluate the characteristics of nosocomical infection and their its correlation with the results of environmental monitoring at the same period.METHODS Nosocomial infection monitoring was explored on patients who were in ICU more than 48 h from Jan 1997 to Jun 2008.Correlation analysis was conducted between the rate of nosocomial infection in ICU and the same period environmental monitoring results.Data were analyzed with the SPSS10.34 software.RESULTS There was significant difference(P0.05)in the rate of infection cases before and after target monitoring was practiced.The site of infection was mainly in respiratory tract,followed by the gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract;The full-time personnel in duty for nosocomial infection surveillance monitored the indoor air,object surface,medical personnel's hands in ICU,their qualified rate was 78.28%,90.94% and 95.83%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS There are many risk factors in patients in ICU,ICU should be looked as one of the important nosocomial infection monitoring department.The target monitoring of nosocomial infection is an effective method;the nosocomial infection rate in ICU and the environmental result at the same period don't show relevance,the environmental hygiene monitoring should be scientific and practical.
