Objective To investigate the effect of arthroscopic arthroplasty on the short-term efficacy and stress factors in patients with primary osteoarthritis of the elbow and to guide the clinical application.Methods From February 2013 to February 2016,32 patients with primary primary osteoarthritis of the elbow underwent arthroscopic arthroplasty in Xiaogan Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology.The levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6,IL-10,adrenocorticotrophic hormone(ACTH) and other stress factors were measured before and after the operation.The ROM,MEPS and VAS were used to evaluate the curative effect before,3 months and 6 months after operation.Results All patients were followed up successfully.The excellent rate was 96.9%(31/32) 1 year after the operation.Preoperative ROM,MEPS score,VAS score were (83.2±18.6) °,(63.2±14.5) points,(3.2±1.8) points;3 months,6 months postoperative ROM were (102.3±18.9) °,(124.3±15.4) °,and MEPS scores were (75.4±16.8) points and (89.5±14.3) points respectively,which were significantly higher than those before operation (ROM F value of 43.19,P<0.001;MEPS F value of 23.86,P<0.001).Three months,6 months postoperative VAS scores were (0.5±0.2) points and (0.3±0.1) points,which was significantly decreased(76.55,P<0.001);preoperative TNF-α,IL-6I,L-10,ACTH were respectively (12.5±2.5) μg/L,(5.4±2.3) ng/L,(10.5±4.0) ng/L,(22.4±6.3) ng/L,and were (38.4±8.6) μg/L,(25.6±8.4) ng/L,(23.1±4.8) μg/L,(58.6 ± 15.0) μg/L 1 day after surgery,which significantly increased compared with preoperative levels(P<0.05);1 week after patient TNF-α,IL-10 were respectively (9.4±1.2) μg/L,(7.5±3.5) ng/L,which decreased significantly(P<0.001).IL-6,ACTH were respectively (3.1±0.9) μg/L,(19.5±5.8) ng/L,which showed no significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusion For the modest primary osteoarthritis of the elbow,arthroscopy arthroplasty can achieve good therapeutic effect,improve the patient′s motor function and life quality,and minimally invasive surgical approach is conducive to relieve systemic stress.

Objective To investigate the relation between CAG expansion length and clinical symptoms in hunting-ton′s disease ( HD) ,and to evaluate the value of CAG age product ( CAP score) in the clinical practice. Methods Two Han Chinese HD family members’ clinical data, including clinical symptoms and signs, the Cambridge cog-nitive examination-Chinese version ( CAMCOG-C) and Hamilton depression rating scale were collected, and these two families pedigree trees were drawn. Volunteers peripheral venous blood was extracted to pursue IT15 genetic test. CAP scores among members whose CAG repeat number was more than 35 were calculated. Results The pedi-gree trees indicated that HD was autosomal dominant inheritance. Among 6 participants who had pursued genetic test,1 was normal and 5 were carring expanded allele; according to fomal clinical diagnosis criteria,2 participants were in manifest period and 3 were in pre-manifest period. Individuals in manifest period had clinical triad,and in-divudals in premanifest period,though hadn’ t been clinically diagnoseded, were characterized by subtle motor,cog-nitive,behavioural or personality changes. Conclusion HD prior to clinical diagnosis may have mild clinical symptoms;the more CAG repeats indicate earlier onset, the heavier the symptoms. CAP score as a parameter, combined with the CAG repeat number and the age, is of great significance for predicting the onset age, clinical tri-al subjects grouping, and give a better understanding of the natural history of HD.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of levamlodipine besylate combined with benazepril in treatment of primary hypertension with left ventricular hypertophy.MethodsNinety-eight primary hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy patients were divided into two groups by random number table.Observation group(49 cases) was treated with levamlodipine besylate combined with benazepril,and control group (49 cases) was only treated with levamlodipine besylate.The clinical effect,the levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),left ventricular posterior wall (LVPW),interventricular septal thickness (IVST),left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were compared between two groups.ResultsThe total effective rate in observation group was 93.9％ ( 46/49 ),which was significantly higher than that in control group (77.6％,38/49 ) ( x2 =5.333,P ＜0.05).Before treatment,the differences were not statistically significant in the levels of SBP and DBP (P ＞0.05).After treatment,the levels of SBP,DBP,LVPW,IVST,LVEDD and LVMI were significantly decreased in both groups (P＜0.05).Moreover,the levels of SBP,DBP,LVPW,IVST,LVEDD and LVMI in observation group after treatment were significantly lower than those in control group[ ( 121.27 ± 8.69 ) mmHg( 1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) vs.( 131.54 ± 9.85 ) mm Hg,( 82.45 ± 4.69 ) mm Hg vs.( 88.49 ± 5.14 ) mmHg,(9.42 ± 1.58 ) mm vs.( 11.41 ± 1.92 ) mm,(9.56 ± 1.31 )mm vs.( 11.38 ± 1.85 ) mm,(47.86 ± 2.38 ) mm vs.(51.46 ±3.25) mm,(108.16 ±6.24) g/m2 vs.(119.21 ±7.68) g/m2] (P ＜0.05).Conclusion Levamlodipine besylate combined with benazepril in treatment of primary hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy can improve the clinical effects and ease left ventricular hypertrophy status,which can be applied in clinic.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the early events of norcantharidin (NCTD) induced cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, the variation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the NF-E2-relate? dactor 2/antioxidant response element(Nrf2/ARE) pathway in human HepG2 cells. METHODS The cyto?toxicity was measured by MTT assay. Apoptosis and cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. The intra toxicity ROS production was evaluated by flow cytometry analysis with DCFH-DA probe and the effect of NCTD on Nrf2/ARE pathway was detected by luciferase assay in HepG2C8 cells under the same condition. The mRNA expression of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1(NQO1) antioxidase gene in Nrf2/ARE pathway downstream was evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR. RESULTS No significant cytotoxicity was detected after HepG2 cells were treated with NCTD 30, 60 and 120 μmol · L- 1 for 3 and 6 h, but cellular viability was inhibited significantly by NCTD 30, 60 and 120μmol·L-1 for 24, 48 and 72 h(P<0.01). Cell apoptosis and G2/M phase arrest occurred after HepG2 cells were treated with NCTD 60μmol · L-1 for 12, 24 and 48 h. The percentage of apoptosis increased from (4.00 ± 1.98)%to (12.10 ± 1.70)%for 12 h, from (4.05 ± 0.21)%to (31.8 ± 6.50)%for 24 h, and from (3.90 ± 0.85)% to (33.30 ± 1.41)% for 48 h, respectively. The percentage of G2/M phase increased from (16.51 ± 1.58)% to (40.89 ± 0.18)% for 12 h, from (16.99 ± 1.32)% to (55.29 ± 3.99)% for 24 h, and from (14.45 ± 0.59)% to (50.66 ± 5.88)% for 48 h, respectively. Compared with cell control group, the percentage of G1 phase had a significant decrease in the group with NCTD treated at different time points(P<0.01). No significant change in ROS in HepG2 cells was detected after the treatment with NCTD 30, 60 and 120μmol · L-1 for 3, 6 and 12 h. Nrf2/ARE pathway in HepG2C8 cells was activated by NCTD 30, 60 and 120μmol·L-1 for 6 and 12 h. mRNA expression of HO-1 and NQO1 had a signifi?cant activation in HepG2 cells after treatment with NCTD 30, 60 and 120 μmol · L-1 for 6 and 12 h (P<0.05). CONCLUSION NCTD can activate Nrf2/ARE pathway in the early stage in HepG2 cells, which may inhibit the intracellular ROS production in the early stage. Activation of ROS may not be the main event in NCTD induced HepG2 cell apoptosis and G2/M phase arrest.

Objective To investigate the resistance of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (STM) to quinolone. Methods A total of 33 salmonella typhimurium resistant to Ciprofloxacin in stool of outpatients from July 1st. 2004 to Oct 31st was isolated. in four hospitals in Wuhan. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was conducted by the Agar Dilution method. All of the strains were studied for the occurrence of mutations in the genes coding for QRDR by PCR and REP-PCR. Results The sequencing of QRDR of these genes in highly quinolone-resistant mutants (MICs of 4 to 16?g/ml) of the 25 STM revealed the presence of gyrA mutation, and inserted base in the gyrB and parE genes were found only in 5 STM. With aid of REP-PCR, the 32 strains were divided into 9 profiles which were correlated to the antibiotic susceptibility spectrums. Conclusions The resistance of STM from community acquired infection in WuHan is very severe. The resistance mechanism was associated with mutations of the quinolone resistance-determining regions. It suggests an outbreak in the community.

OBJECTIVE To explore the gene gyrA mutation in nalidixic acid-resistant Salmonella paratyphi A(SPA) in Shaoxing area.METHODS Fifty-two strains of SPA gene were assessed by amplification and purification and the PCR products were detected by two directional sequencing methods.The sequences of DNA gyrase A were compared and analyzed with the OMIGA2.0 software,and the gene gyrA mutation was identified.RESULTS The mutation in nalidixic acid-resistant SPA was discovered in No.83 or No.87 animo acid site of gyrA quinolones resistant determinate region(QRDR),and the mutation of 51 strains occurred in No.83 site,1 strain occurred in No.87 site.The simultaneous mutation of two sites was not discovered,No mutations were found in other sites of gyrA QRDR.CONCLUSIONS No.83 site mutations of gene gyrA has a direct relation to nalidixic acid-resistant SPA.No.87 site mutation of gene gyrA might also cause nalidixic acid-resistantce.The nalidixic acid-resistant SPA is mainly mutated in No.83 site by TCC→TTC(Ser→Phe) in Shaoxing area.

Cancer stem cells are a new field with the gradual deep understanding of the stem cell research.Although its history is not long,the rapid development showed a good potential prospect.The existence of cancer stem cells and its use as tumor formation,growth and metastasis-based approach has been widely recognized.In theory,cancer stem cells derived from normal stem cells can transform.Cancer-causing factors can also be derived from the dedifferentiation induced cells.Because it contains all-round,multi-and single stem cell,with the proliferation and differentiation potential of different directions,it is possible to explain the heterogeneity of tumor cells,and reasons for hypoxic environment,anti-cancer drugs and radiation resilience.In this area,it has been made a lot of progress in recent years.However,there are still some problems to be solved.Such as the identification of cancer stem cells,biological function and mechanism.
