Objective:To design an intelligent system of leak detection for AK200Shemodialysis machine so as to fast troubleshoot the range of leaked point for helpingengineer. Methods: The likely leaked part of flow paths of hemodialysis were simplified basedon routine detection experiment and the statistical record and data of faults. And then, testmode of pressure when hemodailysis implemented self-inspection for leakage was imitated. There was a air pumpwas connected with aimed flow paths, and the positive and negative pressure generated by controlling an externalair pump and the connected magnetic valve were applied at different time and different section, respectively. Afterincreased pressure, depended on the comparison of intra pressures from pressure sensors for one part of pipelinebetween pre- and post of one spell to analyze and decide whether this section exist leak. And the judgment standardwas if the difference of pressure was less than 5mmHg, there was not leak in this flow path, otherwise, the likely leakpoint should be troubleshot in further detection. Results: 183 detections were implemented at AK200S/AK200USwhich once happened alarm of leakage. And in the 183 detections, the detection system for leakage has found theranges of leaked point in 171 detection. The distribution of leaked points was: 73 times were from filter to DRVAsection, 19 times were from DRVA section to DIVA section, 79 times were from DIVA section to champ of flexiblepipe at terminal of EVVA. On the other hand, in the leaked points, 162 points were at seal ring, 1 point was at filmof valve, 8 points were at connector, and the success rate of detection for leaked fault was more than 90%. Besides,the success rate of detection for leakage on flow paths of prepare troubleshooting under normal temperature was100%. Conclusion: The detection system of self-dependant development for leakage can help engineer to save timeof troubleshooting for leaked point and enhance the work efficiency.

Objective To analyze the effects of community-based intervention on improving early detection of individuals with high risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma and to explore the interventional mechanism of prevention and treatment in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods Total of 139 344 residents of the Second Chinese Medicine Hospi-tal of Guangdong Province Hospital Community were detected per year.Individuals with high risk nasopharyngeal car-cinoma or nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were divided into intervention group(69 616 cases) and control group (69 728 cases) according to the random number table.The two groups were given conventional treatment (radiothera-py,chemotherapy and surgery treatment) after diagnosed.The intervention group was interfered with long -term prevention,health care,medical care,rehabilitation,health education and psychological intervention by full-time phy-sician,while the control group was only treated by general education intervention.The awareness of early symptoms and the risk factor of nasopharyngeal carcinoma were analyzed.Additionally,the behavior,knowledge and attitude on nasopharyngeal carcinoma were detected before and after the intervention.Results Community-based intervention significantly improved the rate of early detection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma high-risk individuals ( 75.31% vs. 44.37%,χ2 =5.32,P<0.01) .The awareness rates of major symptoms and the damage of nasopharyngeal carcinoma were 89.34%and 91.78%in the intervention group.In the control group,the rates were 42.17%and 28.47%.The differences of the two groups were significant(P<0.05).Additionally,the awareness of diagnosis standard and good habits were improved significantly in the intervention group compared with the control group(P<0.01).Our results showed that intervention changed the attitude and understanding of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and improved the quality of life of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Conclusion Intervention increased the early diagnostic rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and promoted the quality of life of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the effect of gradient heat stress on phagocytosis of hepatic Kupffer cells (KCs) in vitro in rats. Methods Rat Kupffer cells were isolated in vitro and the temperature for gradient heat stress was set at 37, 39, 41 and 43℃. After thermal stimulation, cell injury was detected by PI and Hochest33342 staining. CCK-8 assay was used to investigate difference in cellular proliferation rate over 24h between the groups. Flow cytometry was used to investigate the influence of heat stress on the phagocytosis of KCs. Results Compared to the normal control group, cells in each heat stress group exhibited varying degrees of damage, especially cells in 43℃ group. The ratio of damage cells increased with the increase of heat stress severity (P<0.05). Proliferation assay indicated that the proliferation rate of cells in each heat stress group was significantly decreased in comparison with normal control group 6h after heat stress (P<0.05). After 12h recovery, decrease in proliferation rate was observed only in 43℃ group (P<0.001), and no difference in the rate of proliferation could be observed between the heat stress groups and normal control group after 24h recovery. Flow cytometry showed, that the phagocytosis of KCs decreased in heat stress groups compared with control group, especially in 43℃ group (P<0.05). This phenomenon disappeared after 24h recovery. Conclusion Heat stress can inhibit the phagocytosis of rat liver KCs through its cytotoxic effect on KCs, and subsequently inhibits its proliferative ability. Further investigation of the effect of heat stress on KCs may help understand the pathogenesis of heat stress.

Objective To analyze the gene expression of pathogenic factors in vaginal secretions of patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis by using Oligo chips. Methods RNA was extracted from vaginal secretions of 10 patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis and 3 asymptomatic carriers, and hybridized with oligonuscreened followed by a bioinformatic analysis. Results Comparing with the asymptomatic carriers, the patients showed a higher expression of 44 genes and lower expression of 17 genes. Of these differentially expressed (TLR) 4, HWP1, SAP2, SAP5, LIP4, EFG1 and CPH1 were highly expressed in more than 80% of the secretion samples from patients with an average ratio of 4.013, while LIP6 and WH11 were lowly expressed in more IFN-γ and TLR4 were associated with native immunity, HWP1 associated with hyphal adhesion and formation, SAP2, SAP5, LIP4 and LIP6 associated with extracellular hydrolysis, and EFG1, CPH1 and WH11 associated with phenotypic switching. Conclusions Both the host adaptive immunity deficiency and increased virulence of Candida species are involved in the pathogenesis of vulvovaginal candidiasis, and TLR4 possibly plays a certain role in the local immunity of patients with this entity.

Objective To investigate the correlation of serum total bile acid (TBA) levels with the inflammation grades of liver tissue in chronic liver diseases.Methods Cyclophorase assay was used to detect the serum TBA levels in 172 patients with various chronic liver diseases,and the inflammation grades of liver tissue were determined by liver biopsy.The correlation between serum TBA levels and the inflammation grades of liver tissue was evaluated using SPSS 12.0 software.Results Serum TBA level was positively correlated with the inflammation grade of liver tissue ( r =0.275,P ＜ 0.01 ).The inflammation grade reached G2 when serum TBA was 20 μmol/L.Conclusion Serum TBA level may be useful for evaluating the inflammation grade of liver tissue in chronic liver diseases.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of heat shock protein (HSP) 70 on the acute lung injury (ALI) of rats with heat stroke.Methods Sixty four rats were randomly (by employing a random number table) assigned into a sham-heated group (Sham group),heat stress group (HS group),and HS plus gluttamine treatment group (HS+GLN group) and HS plus quercet in treatment group (HS+QU group),16 each.All rats were housed in a artificial climate chamber,with the rats in the sham groups exposed to a temperature of 23 ℃ and humidity of 55％ ± 5％,while the rats of HS,HS+GLN and HS+QU groups to an ambient temperature of 39 ℃ and humidity of 65％.During heat stress or sham heating,rectal temperature (Tr),systolic blood pressure (SBP) and pulse rate (PR) were monitored to observe the difference in heat stress response among the groups.The time point at which the SBP started to drop from the peak level was taken as the point of HS onset.At the onset of HS,heat exposure was terminated,then the rats were immediately removed from the chamber,and returned to room temperature.The rats were scarified 0h and 6h after HS onset respectively.After bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected,the lungs of all animals were harvested for pathological examination of lung injury.The concentrations of IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-6 in BALF and HSP70 in lung homogenate were measured by using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay kit.Results Compared with HS and HS+QU groups,the rats in HS+GLN group required significantly greater heat load to induce HS (P＜0.001),and had longer survival time span after HS onset.Compared with Sham group,the concentration of HSP70 in lung homogenate in HS group increased in a time-dependent manner (P＜0.001).In comparison with HS group,the concentration of HSP70 in lung homogenate from HS+GLN group was significantly elevated at each time point (P＜0.001),while the treatment with QU significantly inhibited the expression of HSP70 (P＜0.001).The concentration of IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-6 in BALF significantly decreased in HS+GLN group compared with those in HS group and HS+QU group (P＜0.001).The pathological results showed that the lung injury was milder in HS+GLN group,while the opposite in HS+QU group.Conclusion HSP70 could protect HS rats against ALI by enhancing their thermo-tolerance and inhibiting inflammatory response.

Objective To investigate the role of oxidative stress in acute liver injury in a heat stroke model of conscious rats,and to explore its underlying mechanism.Methods Thirty-two rats were randomly (by using a random number table) assigned into a sham-heated control group (Sham group,n=8),a sham-heated group treated with NAC (Sham-NAC group,n=8),a heat stroke group (HS group,n=8) and a heat stoke group treated with NAC (HS-NAC,n=8).Rats were prepared with pre-warm chamber to initiate heat stoke.The change of rectum temperature (Tr),heart rate (HR) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were monitored,and the time point of HS onset was recorded.Rats were sacrificed 12h after HS onset.ALT,serum TBIL,IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,MDA,T-SOD and GSH in the liver homogenates were measured.Liver tissues were harvested for determining the concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS),neutrophil infiltration and the histological changes.Results During HS onset,no significant differences were observed in Tr,HR,SBP and heat exposure time between HS group and HS-NAC group (P＞0.05).However,the survival time was significantly longer in HS-NAC group than in HS group (P=0.039).12 hours after HS onset,the concentrations of ROS and MDA in the liver homogenates were significantly higher in HS group than in the other groups (P=0.000),while the concentrations of T-SOD and GSH were much lower than in the other groups (P=0.000).The serum concentrations of ALT and TBIL were significantly higher in HS group than in the other groups (P=0.000).Compare with HS group,the pathological injury was alleviated in HS-NAC group (P=0.000).The neutrophil infiltration level and the concentrations of IL-6,IL-1 β and TNF-α in liver tissue were significantly higher in HS group than in HS-NAC group (P=0.000).Conclusion Oxidative stress may play an important role in the pathogenesis of HS liver injury through its cytotoxic effect and by inducing inflammatory responses.
