ObjectiveToexplorethedynamicchangesofoxidativestressandcytokinesinMongoliangerbilswith nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD) and their significance.Methods Forty-eight healthy male gerbils were randomly divided into normal group and model group , 24 in each group .Gerbils of the model group were fed with high fat diet while those of the normal group with normal diet .Eight gerbils in each group were killed at the end of 4 w, 8 w and 16 w, respectively .MDA content and SOD , GSH-PX and T-AOC activity in the liver tissue were detected by chemical method, and serum TNF-α, INF-γand IL-10 levels were determined using liquid suspension chip .Results With the development of NAFLD , MDA content in liver increased gradually , and the MDA contents were all significantly higher than those of the normal group ( P<0.01 ); T-AOC level slightly increased , and then decreased , the levels at 4 w and 16 w were markedly decreased compared with those of the normal group (P<0.05);SOD level was significantly increased and then markedly reduced, the level of the model group at 4 w was significantly increased (P<0.05), while that at 8 w and 16 w were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01).The level of GSH-PX was decreased gradually , the levels at 8 w and 16 w were significantly lower than those of the normal group (P<0.05).With the progression of NAFLD,serum TNF-αand IFN-γwere increased gradually , while the level of IL-10 decreased gradually , and the levels at 8 w and 16 w were significantly lower than those of the normal group ( P <0.05, P <0.01).Conclusions The oxidative stress-related indicators and inflammatory cytokines in the gerbil NAFLD models induced by high fat diet are significantly changed as simple fatty liver develops into steatohepatitis , liver fibrosis and cirrhosis , and participate in the development and progression of NAFLD .

Objective To research and prepare the individualized knee in vitro guided plate by 3D printing technique and to investigate the feasibility of its application in 8-plate epiphysiodesis.Methods Twelve children patients with knee varus or valgum in our hospital from January 2014 and November 2016,7 boys and 5 girls,average age of 8.2 years old,were performed the lower extremity continuous spiral CT scanning in the knee straight position.The Dicom format stored CT data were imported into software Mimics 15.0 for reconstructing the knee joint 3D model.The knee joint data after reconstruction were guided into software Geomagic1 1.0 with the.stl format.According to the demand that screws without perforating epiphyseal and joint surface,paralle ling to the epiphyseal and locating in the anterior-posterior median line of epiphyseal,the 8-plate placing screw navigation template was designed and printed by using the 3D printing technique;the 8-plate plate and screw internal fixation was conducted by intraoperative template location.The placed screw position was evaluated by postoperative CT.Results The imaging identification showed that 8-plate epiphysiodesis by using 3D printing individualized in vitro guided plate had accurate screw placement.The cases were followed from 6 months to 2 years,the satisfactory orthopedic effect was obtained in all cases.Conclusion Preparing the individualized knee in vitro guided plate by applying 3D printing technique in assisted 8-plate epiphysiodesis for treating child knee varus or valgum has accurate screw position and satisfactory effect.

Objective:To investigate the variation characteristics and influencing factors of HIV/AIDS subtypes in Wuxi city of Jiangsu Province from 2014 to 2016.Methods:HIV/AIDS population in Wuxi city in 2014 was selected as the research object, and the HIV molecular epidemiology and follow-up study were carried out. Collect epidemiological information, extract DNA from blood samples, amplify pol gene fragment by nest-PCR and sequence, use ChromasPro 1.6 software and MEGA 7.0 software to construct the HIV-1 sequence database, and use FastTree2.1.10 software to construct the phylogenetic tree to confirm the subtype; in 2016, the same population was followed up, and the HIV subtype variation was analyzed, and the influencing factors of subtype variation were explored by multivariate logistic regression. Results:A total of 612 HIV/AIDS cases in 2014 and 2016 were collected. The age of the subjects was mainly 30 years old or above (85.46%, 523/612), and the proportion of people over 50 years old was higher (228/612, 37.25%). The main route of transmission was homosexuality, accounting for 49.67%. A total of 1224 samples were detected and CRF01 _ AE、CRF07_ BC、B、CRF08_ BC、CRF67_ 01B、CRF55_ 01B、CRF68_ 01B, 7 subtypes of HIV-1 and 5 unique recombinant types (URFs) was detected. CRF01_ AE and CRF07_ BC was still the main genotype in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, accounting for 66.75%. There were 29 cases (3.56%) of URFs recombinant strains. During 2014-2016, the variation rate of subtypes was 14.63%, and the most common variation was CRF01_ AE changes to CRF07_ BC(13.95%). Marital status (OR=0.363, 95% CI: 0.137-0.964) and baseline CD4 level (OR=0.414, 95% CI: 0.192-0.891) were associated with subtype variation.Conclusions:The HIV-1 subtypes of HIV/AIDS patients in Wuxi city are diverse and complex, the proportion of recombinant subtypes is rising, the URFs that are difficult to determine the genotype increase significantly, and the variation rate of HIV-1 subtypes among HIV/AIDS infected people is high. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of HIV-1 subtypes.
