Objective To observe the efficacy of inhaled tiotropium bromide combined with budesonide/formoterol on reducing the frequency of acute episodes of symptom exacerbation and improving lung function,health status in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Eighty-six patients with COPD were divided into 3 groups, combination group[29 cases, inhaled budesonide/formoterol (160 μg/4.5 μg, twice one day ) and tiotropium bromide ( 18 μg, once one day)], budesonide/formoterol group( 29 cases, 160 μg/4.5 μg, twice one day) and tiotropium bromide group(28 cases, 18 μg, once one day). The treatment continued for 3 months. Results Lung function, symptoms and health status improved obviously in three groups. The forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) of combination group after treatment was (1.24±0.18) L , which was improved by 11.7% compared with before treatment. It was significantly higher than that in budesenide/formoterol group and fiotropium bromide group (P < 0.01 ). The rescue medication consumptions and the times of acute episode of combination group were significantly decreased compared with those in the other groups,and there was significant difference (P <0.01). The SGRQ score of combination group was (35.6±13.9) points which was significantly lower than that of budesonide/formoterol group and tiotropium bromide group,and there was significant difference (P < 0.01 ).There was no statistical difference in the adverse events occurred in three groups (P > 0.05 ). Conclusions Combination treatment produces better control of symptoms and lung function and has no greater risk of sideeffects, compared with the treatment of budesonide/formoterol alone and tiotropium bromide alone. The combination treatment should be considered for patients with COPD.

Objective To investigate the correlation between GSTP1 exon5 A/G polymorphism and clinic phenotype of COPD in the population of the Han nationality from southwest China.Methods Using PCR followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP),genotypes of Ile105Val polymorphism in exon5 of GSTP1 were determined in 91 patients with COPD and 87 healthy control subjects.Results No significant differences were observed in the frequencies of genotypes and alleles of exon5 of GSTP1 between COPD patients and the healthy controls.The frequency of Ile105 in pink puffer patients was much more than that in the blue bloater patients.The CT scores of emphysema in patients with Ile105 was significantly higher than those with Val105.Conclusions The genetic polymorphism of exon5 of GSTP1 may not be associated with the susceptivity of COPD in the populations of the Han nationality from southwest China,but may be correlated with clinical phenotypes and lung parenchyma damage of COPD patients in the present population.

AIM To explore the molecular mechanism of hydroquinone genotoxicity in human bronchial epithelial cells and investigate whether human X-ray repair cross complementing group 1 (XRCC1)was involved in protecting cells from the damage caused by hydroquinone. METHODS XRCC1 gene was knocked down by RNA interference and XRCC1-deficient cell was established by transfected recombinant plasmid pEGFP-C1-pU6-dsRNA. Normal human bronchial epithelial cells (normal cells) and cells transfected with the empty vector of pEGFP-C1 (vector cells) were used as the normal control and vector control. All cells were treated with different concentrations of hydroquinone (10-100 μmol·L-1) for 4 h. MTT assay was used to test cell viability and comet assay was used to detect the DNA damage and repairment. RESULTS MTT assay showed that hydroquinone inhibited the growth of cells in a concentration-dependant manner and the survival number of XRCC1-deficient cell was less than that of the two control groups. Comet assay revealed that different concentrations of hydroquinone caused more severe DNA damage in XRCC1-deficient cell line than in control cells and there were no significant difference in the two control groups. CONCLUSION The results suggest XRCC1 be involved in preventing cells from damage caused by hydroquinone.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the mierosatellite polymorphism of heme oxygenase-1(HOX-1)gene promoter and susceptibility to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)in Han nationality of Southwest China and CT imaging.Method The alleles frequencies with varying number of(GT)n repeatings in the Hox-1 gene in 180 smokers with COPD and in 150 healthy smokers were analyzed.Results Polymorphisms of the(GT)n repeats were grouped into three classes:S(≤25 repeats),M(26-31 repeats),L(≥32repeats).The proportion of genotypic frequencies in the group with class L alleles(L/S,L/M,I/L)was significantly higher in the smokers with COPD than in healthy smokers(29.4%vs18.7%,P=0.023,OR=1.8,95%CI 1.1-3.1).However,there was no relationship between the polymorphism of HOX-1 gene and subtypes of COPD by CT imaging in COPD patients(P＞0.05).Conclusion Genetic polymorphism in Hox-1 is associated with development of COPD in Han nationality of Southwest China.But the polymorphism of HOX-1 gene is not associated with subtypes of COPD by CT imaging.

Objective Iodine loading would be carried out on orthopedic titanium Kirschner-wire by electrophoretic deposition.And by this,a kind of orthopedic iodine-coated implant with antibacterial properties was supposed to be developed,that would provide a theoretical basis for the development of clinical orthopedic implants with antibacterial properties.Methods Iodine loading on the surface of titanium Kirschner-wire was carried out by electrophoretic deposition.PVP-I solution as 1 000 ppm,2 000 ppm and 4 000 ppm was prepared respectively (1 ppm=1 mg/kg=1 mg/L).Three kinds of iodine-coated orthopedic titanium Kirschner-wires with different iodine content were prepared by electrophoretic deposition at 200 V voltage for 30 min and then stoved after being washed with distilled water.The surface signs and composition structure of iodine coated titanium Kirschnerwire were studied through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS).Antibacterial experiments of Iodine coating titanium Kirschner needle were performed in vitro.Antimicrobial test:10 pieces of uncoated titanium Kirschner-wires;10 pieces of iodine-coated titanium Kirschner-wires with 1 000 ppm;10 pieces of iodine-coated titanium Kirschner-wires with 2 000 ppm;10 pieces of iodine-coated titanium wires with 4 000 ppm.Because iodine is easy to sublimate and does not withstand high temperature,all the titanium Kirschner needles are fumigated and disinfected by ethylene oxide (supported by the supply room of our hospital).Titanium wires were immersed respectively in 106 CFUJ/ml (ATCC25923) bacterial suspension of standard Staphylococcus aureus so that bacteria would be fully inoculated on the surface of the titanium wire.The sterilized titanium Kirschner needle was placed in a sterile culture cup and 30 ml suspension was added into the culture cup.The sterilized titanium Kirschner needle was completely immersed in the bacterial solutionand was kept at 37°C for 6 h before taking out.Take out the titanium Kirschner needle slowly,rinse the titanium Kirschner needle with 5 ml sterile PBS buffer,after rinsing the surface of titanium Kirschner needle,transfer the titanium Kirschner needle to the new sterile culture cup and add 5 ml sterile saline until the titanium Kirschner needle is completely immersed.Then put the titanium Kirschner needle into the ultrasonic oscillator to wash the surface of the bacteria fully.After 10 000 times dilution,100 μl was smeared on agar medium for culture (37°C) and the number of colonies was observed and counted 24 h later.Results The surface of three kinds of iodine coating titanium Kirschner-wires was covered with uniform iodized compound coating and had a brown look.The film structure was stable and there was no falling off after ultrasonic cleaning.SEM exhibited that the surface of Titanium Kirschner-wire is covered with a compact coating;the appearance structure is relatively flat and a slight collapse can be seen scattered in the surface of the wire.The results of EDS showed that the iodine content in the surface coating of 3 groups was 4.38 wt％,9.05 wt％ and 14.48 wt％.The bacteria growing on the surface of titanium needle were shaken down by ultrasonic vibration.The CFU counting was carried out after the bacterial solution being diluted,coated and cultured for 24 h.It can be seen that the antibacterial property increases continuously with the increase of iodine coating content.The antibacterial properties of iodine-coated implant which content 14.48 wt％ iodine was more than 1 orders of magnitude than the control group.The results showed that the plants coated with iodine had obvious antibacterial effect.Conclusion The iodine coated titanium wire was prepared by electrophoretic deposition,after being characterized by SEM,EDS and quantitative measurement,the successful loading of iodine was proved,the antibacterial experiment proved that the iodinecoated orthopedic titanium Kirschner-wire has a stronger antibacterial properties than the ordinary titanium Kirschner-wire under laboratory conditions.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of preparing an iodine-coated titanium plate with potassium iodide and verify its antibacterial performance.Methods:Iodine was coated onto the surface of a titanium plate in electrolyte of potassium iodide using the electrophoretic deposition method. The signs and composition of the surface of the iodine-coated titanium plate were observed by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The experiment was conducted in a control group and 3 antibacterial test groups. The control group consisted of 10 titanium plates which had been pretreated but not loaded with iodine; the 3 experimental groups also had in each 10 titanium plates which had been pretreated and loaded with iodine in the electrolytes of concentrations of 1,000 mg/L, 2,000 mg/L and 4,000 mg/L, respectively. The antimicrobial tests in vitro were conducted with standard strains of staphylococcus aureus [1×10 6 Colony-Forming Units (CFU)/mL ATCC25923] to determine the antibacterial property of the plates. Results:The iodine-coated titanium plates appeared grey and their surface was evenly covered with a flat coating with no collapse. The scanning electron microscopy observed on the surface of the iodine-coated titanium plates an iodine coating with scattered irregular collapses in different sizes. The iodine content was 0 mass%, 5.10 mass%, 10.32 mass% and 15.05 mass%, respectively, in the control, 1,000 mg/L, 2,000 mg/L and 4 000 mg/L groups under the energy dispersive spectroscopy. Their counts of in vitro antibacterial colony were 56.00±5.09, 21.40±2.76, 9.10±2.51, and 2.00±1.88, respectively, showing significant differences between groups ( P< 0.05). Conclusions:A titanium plate with a steady and even iodine coating can be prepared by virtue of the electrophoretic deposition method in electrolyte of potassium iodide. The antibacterial property of an iodine-coated titanium plate is superior to that of a titanium plate without iodine coating.

Objective:To explore the influence of organizational management mode and regional medical resource allocation on thrombolysis rate of stroke.Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out in 61 thrombolytic units distributed at 16 administrative districts of Shanghai to collect information including the number of imaging equipment, neurologists and nurses, hospital organization and management mode, thrombolytic rate, etc. Using SPSS 19.0 statistical software, simple linear regression analysis and chi square test were used to analyze the correlation between related indexes and thrombolysis rate.Results:There was no linear correlation between imaging equipment, human resources and regional thrombolysis rate. The key factor to improve thrombolysis rate was the organizational management of stroke( OR=1.488, 95% CI=1.357-1.631, P<0.001). Conclusions:An effective hospital organization and management model, including the establishment of multi department cooperation, stroke emergency team, stroke green channel, can significantly improve the thrombolysis rate of stroke.
