Overall detection rate of UU and CT was 42.77% and 11.59% respectively. 122 cases were detected with positive UU + MH, accounting for 3.72%. Female infection rate was higher than that of males (P < 0.01 ) ; UU, MH, MH + UU were more sensitive to azithremycin, Josamycin, doxycycline, roxithromycin, Minocycline. Conclusion The infection rate of urogenital mycoplasma and ehlamydia is higher and drug resistance rate is different. Azithromycin and Josamycin are the best to treat mycoplasma infection, followed by doxycycline, Pyronine Doxycycline, Minocycline.

Mixed reality technology can achieve a 3D reconstruction of the patient's imaging data and organically combine the real scene. This allows to simulate a real medical operation in clinical teaching. Combined with large data analysis, mixed reality technology allows to build situational awareness data models, thus providing data support for teaching interaction and disease simulations. In the present work, the application of mixed reality technology and situational awareness in clinical teaching of cardiac macrovascular surgery is explored innovatively. These technologies open a new avenue for teaching, solving the issue that stymies traditional teaching approaches and improving the teaching efficiency. It is thus important to explore and promote the applications of this innovative teaching methodology particularly in clinical teaching.

BACKGROUND:Electromagnetic fields can cause changes of the body,especially the nervous system.Effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields(PEMFs)on neural stem cells has been detected.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of prenatal pulsed electromagnetic fields(PPEMFs)on neural stem cell proliferation and nestin protein expression in the hippocampus of rat offspdng.METHODS:Sprague Dawley female rats weighing 240-260 g were included and randomly divided into two groups:control and PPEMFs.Rats from the control group were given no interventions.Rats from the PPEMFs group were given PEMFs stress at gestational days 14-20.Each stress was given three times daily for 10 minutes.The male and female offspring rats were sacrificed at 1 month of age and their brains were sectioned to determine the expression of nestin protein and Brdu-positive cells in the hippocampus by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS:The expression of nestin-and Brdu-positive cells in the hippocampus of female and male PEMFS offspring were significantly higher compared with the control group(P<0.001),and there was a significant difference between female and male offspring(P<0.001).The nestin-and Brdu-positive cells in female offspring outnumbered those in male offspring(P<0.001);however,there was no significant difference between female and male offspring in the control group(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:PPEMFs can increase the number and proliferative capability of the neural stem cells in offspring.It may be a pdmary stage of the cascade reaction of the body to the brain damage caused by PPEMFs stress.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of drinking on hearing loss of pilot students, especially on high frequency hearing loss. METHOD: According to whether drinking, 517 male pilot students were divided into two groups. The balance of all the factors in addition to drinking in both groups was compared. All the students were examined by pure tone audiometry. The statistical data of this research was processed based on a retrospective cohort study. RESULT: The damage of high frequency (4-8 kHz) auditory threshold in left and right ear in drinking group were obviously higher compared with control group (P < 0.01). The Morbidity of hearing loss in drinking group was significantly higher compared to control group (χ2 =16.620, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Drinking is associated with the hearing loss in pilot students and particularly affects the hearing of high frequency spectrum.

BACKGROUND:Because the geographical environment and diet cause obesity and osteoarthritis in Xinjiang Uygur local patients, the number of patients became more. At present, more and more patients received artificial knee replacement. How to master and further apply the technology of soft tissue balance during artificial knee replacement in patients of different physical fitness and nations becomes the focus of many scholars. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the clinical efficacy of soft tissue balance in Xinjiang Uygur patients with knee valgus in total knee replacement. METHODS:A total of 60 cases (72 knees) with severe knee osteoarthritis with a certain degree of knee valgus were subjected to total knee replacement through anterior lateral approach and individualized soft tissue balance from February 2009 to December 2010. Folow-up mode was the clinic visit. X-ray was used to measure tibiofemoral angle (i.e., the supplementary angle of the included angle between anatomic axis of femur and tibia). Clinical score and functional score of American knee society knee score were applied to assess knee joint function. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 57 patients were folowed up for 6-35 months. The tibiofemoral angle decreased from 27.9° preoperatively to 5.6° postoperatively. Clinical score of American knee society knee score elevated from 16.7 points preoperatively to 87.5 postoperatively. Functional score of American knee society knee score elevated from 7.9 points preoperatively to 85.2 postoperatively. Significant differences in preoperative and final folow-up scores were detected (P < 0.01). Valgus deformity was corrected and joint stability was good in 57 patients after replacement. These findings indicate that in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis and valgus deformity, to select individualized treatment of soft tissue balance can effectively correct soft tissue imbalance and get more satisfactory clinical results.

In this study, the adsorption behavior of epirubicin hydrochloride (EPI) on carboxylated single-walled carbon nanotubes (c-SWNTs) obtained by mixture acid treatment was investigated. The results indicated that the dispersion of c-SWNTs in water was obviously improved. The absorption of EPI on c-SWNTs came to equilibrium after 240 min and could be explained by pseudo-second-order model. Moreover, there were heterogeneous distribution of active sites onto c-SWNTs surface and the Freundlich isotherm model was better fit to describe the absorption precess of EPI on c-SWNTs. The absorption capacity of EPI on c-SWNTs increased obviously with the increasing pH and decreasing temperature. Compared with multi-walled carbon nanotubes, carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes, SWNTs, c-SWNTs possessed higher absorption capacity for EPI. The controlled, targeted and sustained release of EPI from c-SWNTs-EPI could be instructive for the development of nano-carrier.

Laser techniques are widely applied in medical research and military affairs. The characters of laser make it the best way to evoke pain.Pain induced by laser stimuli is influenced by laser parameters such as wavelength, pulse duration and stimulus area in addition to the properties of skin such as the distance from the brain, type and color of skin. In this review,both laser evoked pain and factors influencing it are discussed.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of serum Anti-sperm antibodies(AsAb) in group of prepubertal boys with cryptor-chidism before and after surgery,and explore whether it may be influenced by testicular location,orchiopexy,unilateral or bilateral cryptorchi-dism and deferens and(or) epididymis abnormality.Methods Serum AsAb was examined in 50 prepubertal boys with cryptorchidism and 50 boys with oblique inguinal hernia before and 6 months after surgery.Fifty boys who were normal were served as controls.IgG and IgM AsAb were determined by the immunodotting method.Results The preoperative and post-orchiopexy serum AsAb positive rates in cryptorchid boys were significantly higher than the preoperative and post-high ligation of hernial sac ones respectively in boys with oblique inguinal hernia(Pa0.05).Conclusion Cryptorchidism may induce an autoimmune response against sperm antigen in prepuberty independent of testicular location,orchiopexy,unilateral or bilateral cryptorchidism and deferens and(or) epididymis abnormality.
