RNA dot blot hybridization was employed to investigate the alterations in C-myc, C-H-ras transcript levels in bone marrow and peripheral blood cells from 24 patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia. 10 cases of normal bone marrow cells were used as control. We found that the positive rates and intensities of expression of C-myc and C-H-ras in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia were hipher than those of normal control. The C-myc and C-H-ras expressed simultaneously in 10 patients. After having been cultured 5 days with RA and low dose Ara-C combined with low dose Harr, the C-myc transcipt level of C-myc in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia was decreased obviously.

Objective To learn the development of Chinese health management centers,and to provide evidence for discipline planning and development goals.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was used to get the information about the size and personnel structure,discipline and scientific research,academic and talent training,informatization and comprehensive service ability of 103 health management centers.Results About 76％ health management centers occupied a land of more than 1000 square meters.Annual health checkup showed an increasing trend year by year (from 39 500 persons per year in 2009 to 52 500 persons per year in 2011).Nearly 54％ health management centers provided health/disease risk assessment services,and only 21％ provided psychological evaluation services.The main challenges for academic activities in these centers were information collection and record,research topic selection and study design,specific training for chorin disease screening and technique skills.Conclusion Sustainable development of health management industry in China may largely depend on discipline construction of health management.

Objective To evaluate the performance of the third generation ELISA and the fourth generation ELISA for HIV-1 diagnosis assays on acute and early HIV-1 infected samples.Methods Sixtyseven acute/early HIV-1 infected samples were collected from the follow-up gays with seroconversion in Shen Yang city and from clinical patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University with incomplete HIV-1 specific bands in western blot between 2008 and 2010.Third generation ELISA,fourth generation ELISA,western blot and HIV-1 viral load detecting were used for detecting these samples.The sensitivity,consistency were compared between third generation ELISA and fourth generation ELISA to detect the seroconversion samples and the window periods were abserved.Chi square test was used for statistical analysis.Results In the 67 acute/early HIV-1 infected samples,56 were HIV positive and 11 were HIV negative by the third generation ELISA.The sensitivity of the third generation ELISA was 83.6％ (95％ CI:72.5％ -91.5％); 63 were HIV positive,1 was at gray zone and 3 were HIV negative by the fourth generation ELISA.The sensitivity of the fourth generation ELISA was 94.0％ (95％ CI:85.4％ -98.3％),higher than the third generation ELISA(x2 =16.1,P ＜0.01).The consistency of the third generation ELISA and the fourth generation ELISA was 86.6％ ( 95％ CI:76.0％ - 93.7％).The earliest third generation ELISA positive sample was the sample collected 16 days after HIV infection and the earliest fourth generation ELISA positive sample was the sample collected 9 days after HIV infection.There was significantly different on the window periods between the third generation ELISA and the fourth generation ELLSA Conclusion The fourth generation ELISA had a higher sensitivity and shorter window period on acute/early HIV infected samples than the third generation ELISA,which is more suitable for the HIV early infection screening on high risk populations.

Objective To investigate the effect of HCV RNA on virological and immunological response to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART),liver function and blood lipid levels in HIV/HCV co-infected patients.Methods In a cohort study,275 HIV/HCV co-infected former blood donors receiving HAART were followed up every six month in Henan province in China.HCV RNA,HIV RNA,CD+4 T cell counts,indexes of liver function and lipid levels were periodically tested.The differences of HIV viral load suppression,immunological response,liver injury and blood lipid levels between HCV RNA positive group and negative group were compared by x2 test and two independent-samples tests.Result There was no significant difference of HIV viral load suppression between HCV RNA positive group and HCV RNA negative group six-month treatment (45.6% vs.38.5% ,X2=1.150,P>0.05) and CD+4 T cell counts before (286 cells/μ1 vs.209 cells/μ1,Z=0.734,P=0.463)and after 6-month (310 cells/μ1 vs.362 cells/μl,Z=0.562,P=0.574) ,12-month(378 cells/μ1 vs.289 cells/μ1,Z=1.091,P=0.275),18-month(363 cells/μ1 vs.288 cells/μl,Z=1.435,P=0.151) ,24-month(413 cells/μ1 vs.348 cells/μ1,Z=0.939,P=0.348) HAART.The mean levels of serum ALT (55.0 U/L vs.29.5 U/L,Z=6.789,P<0.01),AST(46.0 U/L vs.33.0 U/L,Z=4.890,P<0.01)、TBIL(9.3 mmol/L vs.7.2 mmol/L,Z=3.748,P<0.01)were significantly higher in HCV RNA positive group than that in HCV RNA negative group.HCV RNA was the independent variables associated with liver injury after HAART (aOR=3.8,P<0.01).The serum triglyceride level was higher in HCV RNA positive group than that in HCV RNA negative group(1.2 mmoL/L vs.1.4 mmol/L,Z=1.936,P=0.043) .The serum HDL level was higher in HCV RNA positive group than that in HCV RNA negative group (1.5 mmol/L vs.1.3 mmol/L,Z=2.251,P=0.024).Conclusions HCV RNA does not affect HIV virological responses to HAART and CD+4 T recovery.HCV RNA is an independent risk factor associated with liver injury in HIV/HCV co-infected patients receiving HAART,but appears to provide significant protection against HAART-ieduced hyperlipidemia.

Objective:To explore the influence of elastic band aerobics training on cardiovascular risk factors in adults.Methods:Twenty-four health management centers participated in the competition. Each individual participant learned elastic band aerobics through video and tested their own indexes before and after intervention. Height, body weight (BW), muscle content (MC), fat content (FC), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), body fat rate (BFR), resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) were measured. A paired samples t-test was used to analyze pre-and post-test results.Results:After 8 weeks of elastic band aerobics training, there were significant differences in body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, body fat content, systolic and diastolic blood pressure for male contestants before and after training ( P<0.01). These decreased by 1.39%, 1.45%, 0.98%, 3.61%, 2.28%, 2.34%, and 3.05% respectively. Weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist hip ratio, body fat content and rate of female contestants decreased by 1.25%, 1.59%, 0.65%, 0.99%, 4.22%, and 2.38% respectively ( P<0.01). There were significant differences in absenteeism between the top 10 and bottom 14 teams ( P<0.05). Average absenteeism rates were 2.8% and 10.7% respectively. Overall attendance rate of participants was 92.6%, higher than the clinical standard of an 80% level of compliance. Conclusions:Eight-week elastic band aerobics training can significantly improve body composition of adults, reducing body fat rate and waist circumference. Using competition as an opportunity to exercise promotes implementation and persistence of sports training programs.

Objective: Morphometric and morphological evaluation of the mandibular condyle in adults and to identify its correlation with skeletal malocclusion patterns. Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography scans of 135 adult patients were used in this study and classified into groups according to four criteria: (1) sex (male and female); (2) sagittal skeletal discrepancy (Class I, Class II, and Class III); (3) vertical skeletal discrepancy (hyperdivergent, normodivergent, and hypodivergent); and age (group 1 ≤ 20 years, 21 ≤ group 2 < 30, and group 3 ≥ 30 years). The morphometrical variables were mandibular condyle height and width, and the morphological variable was the mandibular condyle shape in coronal and sagittal sections. Three-dimensional standard tessellation language files were created using itk-snap (open-source software), and measurements were performed using Meshmixer (open-source software). Results: The mandibular condyle height was significantly greater (p < 0.05) in patients with class III malocclusion than in those with class I or II malocclusion;the mandibular condyle width was not significantly different among different sexes, age groups, and sagittal and vertical malocclusions. There were no statistical associations between various mandibular condyle shapes and the sexes, age groups, and skeletal malocclusions. Conclusions The condylar height was greatest in patients with class III malocclusion. The condylar height and width were greater among males than in females. The mandibular condyle shapes observed in sagittal and coronal sections did not affect the skeletal malocclusion patterns.
