Objective To evaluate the effects of mechanical stretch on pentraxin-3(PTX-3)mRNA and protein expression in human alveolar epithelial cells (A549 cells).Methods The human lung epithelial adenocarcinoma cells A549(A549 cells)were purchased from cell biology laboratory,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology.The cultured A549 cells were inoculated on collagen Ⅰ BioFlex plates and divided into 5 groups(n=3 wells each):group Ⅰ normal control;groupⅡsham mechanical stretch;group Ⅲ mechanical stretch;groupⅣsiRNA and groupⅤ siRNA+mechanical stretch.In group Ⅲ the cells underwent square cyclic mechanical stretch for 4 h using the Flexercell Systcm.In group Ⅳ the cells were transfected with chemosynthetic PTX-3 specific siRNA by RNAi technique.In group Ⅴ at 24 h after being transfected with PTX-3 siRNA the cells underwent mechanical stretch for 4 h.In groupⅡ mechanical stretch of the cells were prevented by Flexstep.The expression of PTX-3 mRNA in the cells was detected by real-time PCR and the expression of PTX-3 protein in the culture media was determined by Western blotting.Apoptosis of the cells was measured bv flow cytometry(Beeten-Dickinson,USA).Results PTX-3 mRNA and protein expression was signlficantly up-regulated by mechanical stretch in groupⅢand decreased by transfection with siRNA in group Ⅳand Ⅴ as compared with group Ⅰ andⅡ(P＜0.05 or 0.01).The apoptosis ratio was significantly higher in group Ⅲ and Ⅴ than in groupⅡ and was significantly lower in group Ⅴ thanin group Ⅲ(P＜0.01).Conclusion Mechanical stretch can up-regulate PTX-3 mRNA expression in A549 cells.

Objective To investigate the causes and treatment measures of an outbreak of Norwegian scabies oc-curred in a hospital.Methods In May 2013,an outbreak of Norwegian scabies among health care workers(HCWs) occurred because of the misdiagnosis of a patient with Norwegian scabies,epidemiological investigation was carried out by healthcare-associated infection(HAI)control department,medical intervention and disinfection and isolation measures were performed.Results A total of 27 HCWs and patients’relatives developed Norwegian scabies.After active medical treatment,patients’condition improved;all appliances used by patients were cleaned and disinfected after being wrapped and sealed with plastic bags for one week.Epidemic trend of infection was under control and no new case was found.Conclusion With highly contagious,Norwegian scabies can be spread in local area,it is neces-sary to improve HCWs’diagnostic ability to this disease and take effective measures to prevent the epidemic once HAI occur.

Objective To investigate the stress in the periodontal tissues using three-dimansional finite element method when Richtts Arch was used.Methods Three-dimensional finite element models of the lower left central incisor and first molar were set up by means of CT.Stress distribution in root,PDL and alveolar bone,and the tendency of the tooth movement were obtained by calculation under Richtts Arch.Results The value of the force at the left lower incisor was -0.34 Newton and the value of the force at the left lower molar was 0.65 Newton.The molar model revealed that the tensile stress concentration was at the mesial root cervix and the compressive stress was at the distal root cervix.The incisor model showed that the tensile stress was concentrated at the lingual cervix and the compressive stress was concentrated at the apical tip.The arch wire exerted intruding force,lingual force and the incisor tended to lingual movement and intruding movement.The molar had the tendency of lingual movement and distal tipping movement.Conclusion The anchorage molar will incline mesially when Richtts Arch is used in treatment of deep overbite,the additional torque must be used in the anchorage molar.

Objective To establish a new methodology of evaluating rehabilitation status of local muscle injured by measuring the impedance and phase information.Methods An evaluation method was set up,which take symmetrical parts of injured muscle as control group during the measurement.Impedance and phase values of injured muscle were extracted with local impedance measurement method before and after rehabilitation to evaluate muscle recovery.Results Injured muscle tissue impedance values decreased significantly.In the process of rehabilitation of injured muscle,the impedance and phase values of the injured muscles were gradually approaching that of healthy muscle,and then achieved basically the same as reference values after rehabilitation.Conclusions Local impedance measurement method may provide a new,non-invasive and convenient evaluation method for the recovery of injured muscle tissue,and it has good prospects for clinical application.

Objective To assess the prevalence of hand hygiene compliance rates of health care workers (HCWs) at general hospitals in China in 2010-2012. Methods Literatures about hand hygiene compliance of HCWs from 2010 to 2012 were retrieved from China Biology Medicine disc (CBM),China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Wan Fang database,VIP ,and PubMed database ,Comprehensive Meta Analysis V2 software and Stata 1 2 .0 software were adopted to conduct statistical analysis . Results Ninety literatures were selected with heterogeneity (Q= 48 118.32,P<0.01),random effect model was used. The overall hand hygiene compliance rate of HCWs was 47.83% (95% CI:43.27% -52.42% );When stratified by occupation group,the overall compliance rate of doctors,nur-ses,and unclassified HCWs was 40.36% (95% CI:35.42% -45.49% ),46.70% (95% CI:41.81% -51.65% ),and 40.72% (95% CI:27.75% -55.13% )respectively. According to subgroup analysis,there was no statistical difference in compliance rate between doctors and nurses(Q= 3.12,P>0.05);the compliance rate after patient contact was higher than before patient contact (54.33% [95% CI :44.76% -63.59% ]vs 20.21% [95% CI:14.12% -28.06% ])(Q= 32.59, P<0.01 );hand compliance rate from field observation was higher than from covert observation (70.91% [95% CI :70.71% - 71.10% ]vs 41.20% [95% CI:37.55% -44.94% ])(Q= 247.66,P<0.01).Conclusion The overall hand hygiene compliance rate of HCWs in 2010-2012 was low,in order to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infec-tion,hand hygiene compliance of HCWs need to be increased .

Objective: To discuss the clinical features of basaloid squamous carcinoma(BSC)and the factors relating to its prognosis and to compare patient survival between poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma(PDSC)and BSC. Methods: Clinical and pathological data of BSC and PDSC cases seen in our hospital between January 2004 and December 2008 were reviewed. Results: There were no statistical differences in demographic and clinical features between PDSC and BSC patients,with the exception that a larger proportion of BSC patients were female(P=-0.001).Additionally,higher tobacco consumption was observed among BSC male patients (P=0.003).There were no significant differences in survival rate between BSC and PDSC groups(X2=0.03,P=0.5470).The median survival time of BSC and PDSC patients was 19 months and 30 months，respectively.The 4-year survival rate was 22.4%and 36.1%，respectively(u=0.740,P=0.230).No significant difference was found in survival rate between stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ patients(X~2=0.109，P=0.2974).The median survival time of stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ patients was 19 months and 46 months，respectively；and the 4-year survival rate of stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ patients was 47.3% and 45.2%，respectively(u=0.122，P=0.450).Using Cox proportional hazard model，we found that surgical types and clinical stages of BSC were correlated with its prognosis.Compared with that of patients who received lobectomy,the postoperative mortality hazard of patients who received pneumonectomy and segmentectomy was increased by 1.379 times(P=0.031)and 1.634 times(P=0.061)，respectively.A more advanced clinical stage was associated with an increase in the postoperative morta,ty hazard ratio(X~2=14.12,P=0.000).The postoperative mortality hazard of patients of stage Ⅲ and stage Ⅳ was 2.437 times higher than that of stage Ⅰ patients(P=0.018).There were no statistical differences in postoperative mortality risk between stage Ⅰ patients and stage Ⅱ patients(P=0.057). Conclusion: Compared with that of PDSC,the incidence of BSC is higher among females.However,there is no difference in the prognosis between BSC and PDSC.BSC can be treated with the same therapies as those for other types of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).

Objective:To compare postoperative analgesic effect of flurbiprofen axetil and parecoxib sodium in patients with humeral shaft fracture in painless ward.Methods:All of 200 hospitalized humeral fractures patients were retrospectively studied in the painless ward of the Forth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to September 2019 , the clinical effects of flurbiprofen axetil and parecoxib were compared.Results:Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) scores after 3 d of two groups of patients were significantly lower, compared with preoperative results: (4.26±0.96) scores vs. (6.09±1.38) scores, (4.04±1.19) scores vs. (6.04±1.11) scores, and the differences were statistical significantly ( P<0.01). Postoperative VAS score after 3 d of two groups had no statistical significance ( P>0.05). Two groups had different degree of adverse reactions after operation, and flurbiprofen axetil group had singnificant gastrointestinal adverse reaction: 22 patients vs. 3 patients( P<0.05). The number of patients in the parecoxib group were more than that in the flubiprofen axetil group without troubled sleep: 20 patients vs. 8 patients. Two groups of patients were satisfied with the pain care during hospitalization. Conclusions:Two analgestic drugs can obtain obvious analgesic effect in the treatment of bones surgery. The side effects and sleep disturbance in the flurbiprofen axetil group are higher than those in the parecoxib group. Good pain control can improve patients satisfaction with pain care.
