Objective To study the relationship between the different courses of Treponema pallidum(TP)infection and the immunological changes of the host.Methods ELISA was used to detect the anti-TP antibody in the sera of patients with primary syphilis and secondary syphilis.The MTT chromatometry was used to detect the effect of syphilitic sera on the proliferation of lymphocyte from umbilical cord blood.ABC-ELISA was used to detect the serum level of IL-2,IL-4in syphilis patients.Results The activity index(AI)of anti-TP antibody in secondary syphilis was higher than that in primary syphilis(t=3.919,P0.05).Conclusions The anti-Treponema pallidum antibody significantly increases as the course progresses from primary syphilis to the secondary stage.It seems that the celluar immunity in syphilis patients is suppressed along with the progress of course from primary stage to secondary stage.

AIM: To research how to separate the active component in Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort by high speed counter current chromatography. METHODS: Senkyunolide A and Z-ligustilide,the main components of volatile oil in Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort were one step separated by high speed counter current chromatography. n-hexane-ethyl acetate-ethanol-water,1 ∶ 1 ∶ 1 ∶ 1(v/v),was used as the solvent system for HSCCC. Top phase and bottom phase were respectively used as static phase and mobile phase. Optimum speed and flow rate were 900 r/min and 1. 2 mL/min respectively. RESULTS: Collected fractions were analyzed by HPLC and identified by EI-MS and 1HNMR. Purity could reach more than 95% . CONCLUSION: Lactone is fit to be separated and prepared by high speed counter current chromatography with good resolution and high purity. We find a fast and efficient way to separate these.

Objective To compare and analyze MRI characteristics of medical patellofemoral ligament(MPFL) injury patterns in adolescents and adults after acute lateral patellar dislocation.Methods MR images of 42 adolescents and 45 adults after acute lateral patellar dislocation were retrospectively reviewed.Routine MR scanning was performed in axial,sagittal and coronal planes,including T1 WI,T2 WI and fat saturation sequence.The x2-tests were performed to analyze the MPFL injury patterns between adolescent group and adult group.Results The prevalence rate of MPFL injury was 97.6％ (41/42) in adolescent group after acute lateral patellar dislocation,including 57.1％ (24/42) of complete tear and 40.5％ (17/42) of partial tear.The prevalence rate of MPFL injury was 100.0％ (45/45) in adult group,including 64.4％ (29/45) of complete tear and 35.6％ (16/45) of partial tear.There were no statistical difference between adolescents and adults in prevalence rate of MPFL injury,complete MPFL tear,partial MPFL tear (x2 =1.084,0.486,0.223 ; P ＞ 0.05).The prevalence rate of MPFL injury at femoral attachment,patellar attachment and midsubstance were 31.0％ (13/42),78.6％ (33/42) and 26.2％ (11/42) respectively in adolescent group,whereas they were 64.4％ (29/45),40.0％ (18/45) and 15.6％ (7/45) respectively in adult group.It occurred at multiple sites in 33.3％ (14/42) of adolescents,and in 15.6％ (7/45) of adults.There were significant differences between adolescents and adults in the prevalence rate of MPFL tear at femoral attachments and patellar attachments (x2 =9.759,13.324 ; P ＜ 0.05),but there was no statistical difference at its midsubstance (x2 =1.497,P ＞ 0.05).Although not statistically significant (x2 =3.749,P ＞ 0.05),MPFL tear at multiple locations were seen more in adolescents than in adults (33.3％ vs.15.6％).Conclusion The injury degree and distribution of MPFL are similar in adolescents and adults after acute lateral patellar dislocation,but there is significant difference in the site of MPFL injury distribution between adolescents and adults.MPFL is most easily injured at femoral attachment,secondly at patellar attachment in adults,while MPFL is most easily injured at patellar attachment,secondly at femoral attachment in adolescents.Adolescents are more likely to have multiple-site MPFL injury than adults.

Although 3D heart and torso model with realistic geometry are the basis of simulation computation in LFX Virtual Cardiac Model, the simulation results are mostly output in 2D format. Voxel mapping method is presented to solve this problem and extend the function of LFX Virtual Cardiac Model. Excitation Isochrone Map (EIM), one of the most important simulation results, was mapped from cardiac model with realistic geometry to real Visible Man cardiac model, then the EIM simulation data before and after mapping were visualized in the 4DView which is a real-time 3D medical image visualization platform. With this method, the output format of EIM simulation data of LFX Virtual Cardiac Model was extended from 2D to 4D (time is the 4th dimension) and from cardiac model with realistic geometry to real cardiac model. According to the EIM simulation data visualization results before and after mapping, the LFX virtual cardiac model shows its characteristics with more realistic and effective simulation.

Based on the experience of Public-Private Partnership (PPPs) model in domestic and foreign medical field, this study innovatively explored and designed the Build-Transfer-Operate-Transfer (BTOT) operational structure taking the second phase project of ZP Hospital in Pudong New District as a case study.The exploration results showed that the model established the social capital of private non-profit medical institutions by setting up the project company, and used the asset rental and operating management fees in the form of return path.In view of this, the study put forward some relevant countermeasures and suggestions from the aspects of the institution nature and national treatment, property right ownership and risk mitigation, balancing of interests and the cooperation period and solving the core staff etc.All of these measures were taken in order to explore the replicable PPP model in the field of public hospital reform and development.

On the basis of analysis of the current status and future tendency of development of the health services industry in Shanghai,the authors identified key problems and bottlenecks.Thus they made clear the target positioning and principles of the industry,and proposed the basic ideas and pattern of the industry in the 13 th five-year plan period,focusing on such fields as private and high-end healthcare services,traditional Chinese medicine services,public health services,commercial health insurance,and other related industries.In the end,corresponding supporting polices were proposed.

The digital operating-room, with highly integrated clinical information, is very important for rescuing lives of patients and improving quality of operations. Since equipments in domestic operating-rooms have diversified interface and nonstandard communication protocols, designing and implementing an integrated data sharing program for different kinds of diagnosing, monitoring, and treatment equipments become a key point in construction of digital operating room. This paper addresses interface interconnection and data integration for commonly used clinical equipments from aspects of hardware interface, interface connection and communication protocol, and offers a solution for interconnection and integration of clinical equipments in heterogeneous environment. Based on the solution, a case of an optimal digital operating-room is presented in this paper. Comparing with the international solution for digital operating-room, the solution proposed in this paper is more economical and effective. And finally, this paper provides a proposal for the platform construction of digital perating-room as well as a viewpoint for standardization of domestic clinical equipments.

Objective To learn the acceptance of rural community health workers (CHWs ) following the reform of rural health workers′team building in Pudong New Area.Methods 3 295 CHWs were surveyed with questionnaire for their acceptance of the incentive policies,and chisquare test analysis was used to analyze the differences among CHWs in individual areas.Results Over 80.0% of the CHWs reported that they were motivated by the incentive policies to improve their professional competence, medical service and organizational commitment;40.9% of them reported that the policies improved their social status;and 47.3% of them believed the policies could promote the rural areas to attract and retain talents.When a comparison was made of CHWs′feedbacks on different aspects,significant differences indicated that the proportion of CHWs′positive attitudes was the highest at remote rural communities. Conclusions The rural health workers′team building reform could promote incentive on the CHWs,yet with obvious regional differences.
