Objective To understand and raise the level of osteopomsis-relied knowledge, attitudes and behaviors for prevention and treatment of osteoperosis(OP)in residents of a community. Methods A survey was performed with a questionnaires method targeting at the elderly residents in Changfeng community.The survey was conducted with a specifically designed questionnaire,followed by a second survey.during which health edueafion was stressed.Data were analyzed with SPSS 11.0 software. Results In 3524 residents.3367 responded positively.The ratio of male to female was 1:2.10.The average age of the respondents was 61.34 years.They demonstrated a low level of OP KAP.76.72% of them heard the term of OP,60.11% had a correct judgment of their own bone heahh,42.26% knew the cause of OP.and 37.75% understood the diagnostic method of OP.The level of OP KAP varied in different groups of targeted residents.Of all the questions.the understanding of the diagnosis ranked the lowest.2281 people participated in the second survey,which showed improvement in their OP KAP.The difference was statistically significant.1439 people auended the consultation.99.86% of them considered the activities necessary,96.92% expressed their satisfaction,and 98.54% planed tO take measures to improve their bone health.Conclusion The poor understanding of bone heaith status and the knowledge about prevention and treatment of OP is why it is widely spread in the modem society,which however Call be improved by education.

Objectives:To observe the influence of PN treatment on the postoperative patients of advanced ovarian cancer. Methods:The patients were divided into two groups.Thirty cases of patients(PN group) were treated with PN after the operation for the ovarian cancer.Thirty five cases of patients(control group) were treated regularly without PN.The biochemical indicators,complications and mortality rate were compared between the two groups. Results:The biochemical indicators in PN group were better than those in control group.The incidence of complications and mortality rate in PN group were significantly lower than those in control group. Conclusions:PN can improve the general status of postoperative patients with advanced ovarian cancer and decrease the complication incidence and motality rate.

OBJECTIVE To study the existence of integron and metallo-?-lactamase in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in our hospital.METHODS The antibiotic susceptibility was tested by K-B method.The genomic DNA and their plasmids were extracted.The integron and metallo-?-lactamase gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).RESULTS L1 and L2 genes were amplified in chromosomes and plasmids.Integrons Ⅰ and Ⅱ were detected in genomic DNA.CONCLUSIONS Existence of metallo-?-lactamase is one of reasons of multi-drug resistance in S.maltophilia.S.maltophilia can receive integrons and gain its multi-drug resistance from other strains.

Objective To investigate the role of interleukin-27 (IL-27) in proliferation and differentiation of CD4+ T cells in ankylosing spondylitis(AS).Methods CD4+ T cells were separated from peripheral blood which collected from AS patients and health controls(HCs).Cells proliferation was detected by CCK-8 kit,and cytokines were analyzed by ELISA.Real-time PCR was used to determine the mRNA expression of T-bet and GATA3.Results Serum IL-27 level in patients with AS was obviously higher than that in HCs(P ＜0.01).The proliferation rate of CD4+ T cells and the level of IFN-γin cultured medium in AS were higher than those in HCs group after IL-27 stimulation (P ＜ 0.01).IL-27 could induce T-bet mRNA expression in CD4+ T cells in AS (t =14.3,P ＜ 0.01),but no change was found in GATA3 mRNA expression.Conclusions IL-27 could induce the proliferation of CD4+ T cells and the activation of T-bet pathway in AS.Furthermore,Th1 immune response and related cytokines could be induced by IL-27 in AS.These implicate that IL-27 may play an important role in AS related inflammation.

objective To detect the serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF)and interlbukin (IL)-17,IL-23 levels in rheumatoid arthritis patients with atherosclerosis and to analyze the association between them and their role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis patients.Methods Total of 69 patients with RA were divided into atherosclerosis group(AS group)and those without atherosclerosis group(NAS group)according to neck vascular ultrasonography.Sixty-four healthy controls(the control group)were also enrolled into this study.MIF and IL-17,IL-23 levels were determined bv ELISA assay.The t test of two independent-samples and One-way ANOVA were used to compare the levels of MIF.IL-17 and IL-23 in different groups of patients and healthy individuals.The correlation between diffrent paramenters was assesed by Pearson's coefficient of correlation and Logistic regression.Results The serum MIF level in the AS group was significantly higher than that in the NAS group and healthy controls(15.2±1.7,13.8±2.2,8.0±2.9,P<0.05),and there were significant correlations between the serum MIF concentration,carotid intima-media thickness(IMT)(r=0.271,P=0.036).the size of atherosclerotic plaques(r=0.291,P=0.024),the serum level of IL-17(r=0.328,P=0.007)and IL-23(r=0.316,p=0.010).The serum IL-17 and IL-23 level in the AS group was higher than healthy controls(2.8±2.0 vs 2.0±0.8,449±174 vs 341±113),while there were no significant differences between AS group and NAS group.The serum MIF level in RA patients was positively correlated with atherosclerosis according to Logistic regression analysis.Conclusion The serum MIF level in RA patients with AS is significantly higher than that in NAS group and healthy controls,and it may be related with the serum level of IL-17 and IL-23.The elevated serum MIF level may be a predictor for atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective To identify the dynamic influence of antibiotics use on T helper cell(Th) 1/Th2 cytokine balance in neonatal rats in their early life.Methods Twenty-four newborn SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups including 2dCef group,7dCef group and a control group (n =8).SD rats at 2 or 7 days of age were injected Cefotaxime sodium intraperitoneally for 3 consecutive days.The control group was injected the same amount of phosphate buffer saline.Serum and bronchoaveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples were collected on 35 days old and diffe-rential cell count in BALF was done.Enzyme linked immunosorbent was used to detect the concentration of interleukin(IL)-12,interferon-γ(IFN-γ),IL-4 and IL-5 in serum and BALF,and real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect mRNA expression of those cytokines in lung tissues.Results The number of total cells,neutrophils,and lymphocytes in Cefotaxime treated on 2nd day after birth were significantly higher than those in the controls and 7th day group (F =93.78,15.84,7.36,all P ＜0.05).For Thl cytokines detection:the IL-12 secretion in BALF and serum and INF -γsecretion in BALF of the 2 antibiotic groups were lower than those in control group (F =26.53,12.95,47.18,all P ＜ 0.05),the decrease in 2dCef group were more obviously than 7dCef group [(127.72 ± 12.35) ng/L vs (198.15 ± 18.93) ng/L,(105.91±13.61) ng/Lvs (133.63 ±13.82) ng/L,(147.23 ±24.10) ng/Lvs (178.52±12.46) ng/L,all P ＜0.05].The mRNA expression of IL-12 in antibiotic groups were lower than those in control group (F =33.60,P ＜0.05),and the decrease in 2dCef group was more obvious than that in 7 dCef group (0.073 ± 0.023 vs 0.093 ± 0.028,P ＜0.05).For the Th2 cytokines:the IL-4 secretion concentration and mRNA expression in the 2 antibiotic groups were higher than those in the control group (BALF,serum and lung) (F =64.26,13.79,11.54,all P ＜ 0.05),the increase in 2dCef group was more obvious than that in 7dCef group[(103.65 ± 7.68) ng/L vs (82.04 ± 8.77) ng/L,(87.81 ± 4.72) ng/L vs (69.69 ± 7.79) ng/L,(0.067 ± 0.036) ng/L vs (0.051 ± 0.055),all P ＜ 0.05];however,no significant differences of IL-5 either mRNA or cytokine secretion being detected among these 3 groups (F =0.50,0.75,0.08,all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Antibiotic use during early time of neonate rats alters postnatal immune cells distribution in the lung and promotes the shift in cytokine balance towards a Th2 profile,and the earlier the antibiotic use,the more serious the impact.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of transient elastography in adult after liver transplantation,by means of evaluating the correlation of liver stiffness measured by FibroScan with liver/renal functions.Method Forty-three patients received orthotopic liver transplant in our hospital during Dec.10,2013 and Mar.19,2014 were included in this study.Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) was performed after transplantation.Clinical data and laboratory tests including liver function and renal function were collected and analyzed.Result Bivariate correlation showed that body mass index (BMI),MELD score,graft-to-recipient weight ratio (GRWR) and warm ischemia time had no correlation with LSM.LSM at the 1st day after transplantation (LSM-1) showed no correlation with cold ischemia time,but LSM at the 7th day after transplantation (LSM-7) did,with R =0.335,P =0.028.LSM-1 showed positive correlation with the ICU time (R =0.488,P =0.001),but LSM-7 didn't.There was significantly positive correlation between LSM and aspartate aminotransferase,bile acid and creatinine,but no significant correlations were found between LSM and alanine arninotransferase,alkaline phosphatase,cholinesterase,gamma-glutamyl transferase,total bilirubin,direct bilirubin,indirect bilirubin,urea nitrogen and uric acid.The group with higher LSM-1 had longer ICU time than the lower group (9 d vs,7 d,P =0.013),and so was the hospital stay (34 d vs.23 d,P =0.023).For the LSM-7,there was no significant difference in ICU time and hospital stay between the two groups.The group with higher LSM-1 had higher serious complication incidence than the lower group (78.57％ vs.27.59％,P =0.002),but the two groups in LSM-7 showed no significant difference in serious complication incidence.Conclusion The LSM partially correlates with the liver function and renal function of liver transplantation recipient,and may have its clinical value for assessing the early prognosis after liver transplantation.

Objective To investigate vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2(VEGFR-2)and its phosphorylated state in cancerous and peri-cancerous tissues of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE).Methods Forty-three cases of second-stage surgery of HCC after TACE(TACE & surgery group)and twenty cases of surgery without TACE(direct surgery group)were performed.Surgical specimens were made into paraffin-embedded slices.VEGFR-2,phosphorylated VEGFR-2,hypoxia induced factor-1α(HIF-1α)and microvessel density(MVD,labeled by CD31)were detected using immunohistochemical method.All data was statistically processed with SPSS for Windows.Results The absorption factor(A factor)of phosphorylated VEGFR-2 and HIF-1α in the cancerous tissue of HCC were(0.034±0.016)and(0.047±0.021)in TACE & surgery group,and(0.024±0.009)and(0.035±0.016)in direct-surgery group,which showed statistically significant difference(F=6.75,4.77,P＜0.05).The A factors of VEGFR-2,phosphorylated VEGFR-2 and HIF-1α in the peri-cancerous tissue were(0.040±0.017),(0.031±0.011)and(0.037±0.015)respectively in TACE & surgery group,and(0.030±0.015),(0.020±0.008)and(0.024±0.014)respectively in direct-surgery group,all of which showed statistically significant difference(F=4.60,13.72,11.65,P＜0.05).MVD of the peri-cancerous tissue was(58.3±15.2)/HP in TACE & surgery group and(44.4±10.5)/HP in direct-surgery group,which showed statistically significant difference(χ2=13.64,P＜0.05).Conclusion The cancerous and peri-cancerous tissues in HCC after TACE showed more hypoxic changes.Both expression and function of VEGFR-2 were enhanced following TACE.

Objective To establish the cell line from specimens of resectable human gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and to verify the characteristics of cell biology in vitro. Methods The tissues from biopsies of human GIST were cultured in RPMI 1640 media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. After growing to 90% confluence,the cells were detached for subculture and their characteristics,including morphology,growth kinetics,karyotype analysis,immunohistochemical analysis and tumorigenicity in nude mice were determined. Results GIST named GIST-H1 was successfully established. The cell line was passaged for more than 60 times 1 year. The characteristics demonstrated: The population doubling time calculated in the log phase of growth was 47.5 h. The cloning efficiency in the soft agar averaged 24.8%.Electronmicroscopically,there were rich ribosomes and mitochondrion in the cytoplasm. Immunohistochemical analysis showed CD117(+),SMA(+),dog-1(+),CD34(-),and S-100(-).Karyotype analysis illustrated aneuploidy with the modal chromosomal number 60-98.The GIST cells transplanted in nude mice had high tumorigenicity. Conclusion The immortalized GIST cells are devoloped in vitro and have specific characteristics of GIST.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the role of 3-dimensioual conformal radiotherapy (3-DCRT) after percutaneous transhepatic portal vein stenting and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (PTPVS-TACE) in the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated by main portal vein tumor throw.bus (MPVTT).Methods Between July 2002 and July 2007,45 patients with HCC complicated by MPVTT were treated by PTPVS-TACE.Among them,3-DCRT were undertaken for MPVTT in 16 patients (group A),the other 29 patients were not treated with 3-DCRT(group B).The clinical effects,complication,stent patency rates,cumulative survival rates were evaluated among groups.The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for survival analysis.Results No patient died during stent placement or within the preceding first 24 hours.No severe procedure-related complications were observed.The 60--,180--,360--day cumulative stent patency rates were 100.0%,62.2% and 34.6% in group A,and 58.6%,21.7% and 10.8% in group B,respectively,showing significant difference between the two groups (X2 =9.672,P <0.01).The mean patency time was(475±137) and (200±61)days,respectively.The 60--,180--,and 360--day cumulative survival rates were 93.8%,81.3% and 32.5% for group A,86.2%,13.8% and 6.9% for group B,respectively.There were significant statistical differences between the two groups(X2=9.672,14.596,P < 0.01).Conclusion Treatment with PTPVS-TACE-3-DCRT is a more effective modality than PTPVS-TACE for HCC complicated by MPVTT.
