In present paper,we studied three kinds of method of assay for IL-1:thymocyte proliferation assay;L_(?) cell proliferation assay and pyrogen assay.Stimultaneously we used ~(125)I-UdR in stead of ~3H-TdR.The results show that all of three kinds of method of assay for IL-1 can measure IL-1 activity of supernatants from cultured rat alveolar M? stimulated by LPS in vitro.It suggests that ~(125)I-UdR can incorporate into DNA synthesis of cell and mouse fibroblast cell line L_(?) can response to IL-1 of supernatant from cultured rat alveolar M? stimulated by LPS.

AlM: To assess the correlation between the features of optical coherencetomography ( OCT ) and fundus fluorescein angiography ( FFA) in diabetic macular edema ( DEM) .
METHODS: Totally 70 patients (135 eyes) with diabetic retinopathy ( DR) were evaluated by central vision, best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure, indirect ophthalmoscopy, slit lamp microscope combined+ 90D front mirror mydriatic fundus examination, mydriatic fundus color photography, OCT, FFA, the correlation between FFA and OCT were analyzed.
RESULTS: ln mild macular oedema cases, abnormalities in FFA was 56 eyes, abnormalities in OCT was 68 eyes (P=0. 0009);FFA showed 12 normal eyes, 10 eyes in OCT were characterized by diffused macular oedema; FFA was performed with cystoid macular oedema, OCT was 46. 7% with cystoid type .
CONCLUSlON: DME is diagnosed by Combination FFA with OCT, OCT is an indispensable tool when following up DME, and it has advantage in early application.

OBJECTIVETo establish the normal MESH diagrams of Chinese in Beijing, and to build a computerized MESH analysis system for orthodontic practice.

METHODSTwenty-eight subjects with normal occlusion were selected in Beijing and their lateral cephalograms were taken at the age of thirteen and eighteen, respectively. Individual MESH diagrams were then established for each subject mainly according to Moorrees' method from the cephalograms orientated in estimated natural head position. Male and female normal MESH diagrams were created. A computerized MESH analysis system was also developed.

RESULTSThe normal MESH diagrams of Chinese in Beijing, thirteen and eighteen years old respective, were established. The computerized MESH analysis system was constructed and used in orthodontic patients.

CONCLUSIONSMESH analysis is a proportional analysis method. It can show the results directly, succinctly and holistically. It is also a favorable complement and amendment to the commonly used angle and linear X-ray analysis methods.

Objective To investigate the effect of recombinant chlamydiaphage phiCPG1 capsid protein Vp1 on Chlamydia trachomatis(Ct) after Vp1 was co-cultured with Ct (reference strains and clinical strains).Methods The recombinant chlamydiaphage phiCPG1 capsid protein Vp1 was expressed and purified.Equal amount of Ct standard strains (E/UW-5/Cx and D/UW-3/Cx) or clinical strains,which had been incubated with Vp1 protein at the concentration of 53 μg/ml for 3 h at room temperature,were inoculated into McCoy.After cell culture,idione stain and transmission electron microscope were used to observe the effect of Vp1 on the Ct.The effect of Vp1 protein on the cell line McCoy was determined by MTT assay,the responses of Escherichia coli BL21 and DH5α toward Vp1 protein were determined using broth microdilution assays.Results Vp1 had obviously inhibitive effect on Ct,the inhibition ratios were about 40％-70％in clinical strains,72％ in reference strain D and 78％ in E,respectively.Abnormally enlarged RBs were observed after Vp1-treatment and Vp1 could arrest chlamydial developmental cycle using electron microscope.There was no effect of Vp1 on McCoy cells or bacteria BL21 or DH5α.Conclusion The recombinant Vp1 from phiCPG1 has obviously inhibitive effect on the growth of Ct,it will be helpful for the treatment of Ct infection in clinic.

Objective To explore the effect of different proportions of mixed blood exchange transfusion on blood circulation in neonates with hemolytic disease.Methods Thirty-one newborn infants with hemolytic disease were treated by peripheral arteriovenous synchronization of exchange transfusion with different proportions mixed blood.AB type plasma was mixed with O type red blood cell(RBC) washing.The proportion for the treatment group was 1:1(the O type RBCs 2 U:the AB type plasma 200 mL),by exchange transfusion of haplotypes,in accordance with 80?mL/kg;the proportion for control group was 2:1(the O type RBC 4 U:the AB type plasma 200 mL),by exchange transfusion of double in accordance with 150-180 mL/kg.The indicators were detected,such as the exchange rate of neonatal serum bilirubin,RBC,hemoglobin(Hb),hematocrit(HCT),and the exchange transfusion quantity and days of hospitalization before and after the exchange transfusion were analyzed.Results The exchange rate of serum bilirubin of treatment group and control group was (44.92?3.99)% and (45.69?5.06)%,respectively,there was no significant difference between 2 groups(P=0.639),there was no significant difference of hospitalization days[(8.13?1.13) d vs(8.19?0.91) d]between 2 groups(P=0.884).After exchange transfusion in treatment group,the average level of the RBC,Hb and HCT were increased(P

OBJECTIVE: To explore the injury mechanism of the human knee in a traffic accident by establishing a 3D finite element (FE) model. METHODS: The FE model, composed of femur, tibia, fibula, patella, meniscus, knee ligaments and surrounding soft tissues, was reconstructed by CT scanning data from a male volunteer. Validation was performed by the lateral impact simulation, and the stress and strain results were obtained to be compared with those previously reported for injury prediction. RESULTS: The results derived from the FE model were found to be similar with those previously reported, most of the ligaments and meniscus wounded at 40 m/s collision, which was readily observed. CONCLUSION The simulation results generated by FE model can be effectively used for the injury mechanism analysis of initial contact.

OBJECTIVETo study the risk factors and abusers' characteristics on childhood sexual abuses among female students to provide reference data for preventive measures on child sexual abuse.

METHODSAnnonymous questionnaire survey of 701 adult female students in a college about their personal experience on childhood sexual abuses, their home conditions and abusers' characteristics.

RESULTSA total number of 701 female students were surveyed. 115 (22.11%) experienced non-physical contact sexual abuses before the age of 18, including 26 (3.71%) who suffered from attempted and 8 (1.14%) were forced with genital or anal sexual intercourse. 117 (16.69%) said they had suffered from sexual abuse before the age of 16. Most abusers were males (99.4%) and only a small percentage of them (3.2%) used violence. Most non-physical contact sexual abuses were from strangers (78.7%), while 71.3% of physical contact abuses were from acquaintances including 12.5% of them were teachers, 17.5% were neighbors and 21.3% were relatives. The risk factors of child sexual abuses were: frequent use of violence, bad hobbies and poor health conditions of parents, tight family relationships, and living in remarried families. Having well-educated fathers was a preventive factor.

CONCLUSIONStudies on childhood sexual abuses among females revealed that the incidents were not rare, and family environment played an important role.

Objective To prove the interaction between hepatitis virus C(HCV)nonstruetural protein 4A(HCV NS4A)and calcium modulating cyclophilin tigand(CAML)with yeast-two hybrid- ization and coimmunoprecipitation.Methods The gene encoding CAML was cloned,and subcloned into the yeast expression vector pGADT7 and eucell expression vector pcDNA3.1/His-A.The back- cross test between HCV NS4A and CAML was performed in yeast cells.After that,the pCMV-Myc/ NS4A plasmid and pcDNA3.1/His-A-CAML plasmid were co transfected into 293 cells and,then, coimmunoprecipitation and Western blot were performed.Results The gene encoding CAML was cloned sucessfully,and then the gene was subcloned into yeast expression vectors,pGADT7.After the interaction between NS4A and CAML was ensured in yeast cells,the eukaryotic expression vec- tors of NS4A and CAML were constructed and their interaction was ensured again by Co-immunopre- cipitation.Conclusions The interaction between HCV NS4A and CAML is proved.CAML is one of the proteins involved in Ca~(2+)signaling,which suggests that the interaction of HCV NS4A and CAML may be a new clue of the chronic mechanism of HCV infection.Future studies will be required to de- fine the physiologic significance of this interaction.
