Objective:To investigate the relationship between polymorphism of leptin gene -2548A/G and leptin receptor gene ( LEPR) Gln223Arg and asthma and metabolic syndrome.Methods: 82 asthma-combined metabolic syndrome patients,114 asthma patients,100 metabolic syndrome patients and 96 normal controls were conducted.The polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism ( PCR-RFLP) analysis were performed to investigate the polymorphism of leptin gene -2548A/G and LEPR gene Gln223Arg site.In addition, asthma was graded into mild AS and mod-severe AS according to lung function.Then the associations between the polymorphism of leptin gene -2548A/G and LEPR gene Gln223Arg and different grades of asthma were performed.Results:①The biochemical indicators were different compared between each group.②The genotype and allele frequencies in leptin gene polymorphism -2548A/G were significantly difference between metabolic syndrome patients(P=0.047 and 0.046), asthma-combined metabolic syndrome patients( P=0.038 and 0.044) ,mod-severe asthma patients( P=0.019 and 0.028) and control group.③There was a significant difference of genotype and allele frequencies in LEPR gene Gln223Arg between metabolic syndrome patients and controls(P=0.037 and 0.023);between metabolic syndrome patients and asthma patients(P=0.000 and 0.000).There was a significant difference of allele frequencies in LEPR gene Gln223Arg between asthma-combined metabolic syndrome patients and asthma(P=0.032) .Conclusion: Polymorphisms of the leptin gene -2548A/G site may be associated with metabolic syndrome and mod-severe asthma.Polymorphisms of the LEPR gene Gln223Arg site may be only associated with metabolic syndrome.The two genes would be the candidate genes in early prevention and control.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the microsatellite polymorphism of cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) gene and inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) patients in Zhejiang province. Methods One hundred and eighteen IBD patients without consanguinity (99 patients with ulcerative colitis, 19 patients with Crohn's disease) and 140 healthy controls were studied. The (AT) repeats in the 3' untranslated region of exon 4 of CTLA-4 gene were amplified by allele-specific PCR. The amplified products were electrophoresed with 12% polyacrylamide gel, followed by silver staining. Results Twenty alleles were found in IBD patients and healthy controls. The frequency of 122 bp allele was higher in patients with ulcerative colitis (P=0.0001/Pc=0.0025, OR= 11.393, 95% CI:2.574-50.429) and Crohn's disease (P=0.0003/Pc=0.0050, OR=21.061, 95% CI:3.927-112.94) than that in healthy controls. Conclusion CTLA-4 gene microsatellite polymorphism was obviously associated with IBD in Zhejiang province.

Based on its years of experiences,Shenzhen began to openly enroll medical school graduates nationwide since 2010 for standardized residents training.This started the brand new training of resident physicians,which enjoys unreserved policy and budget support from the government.Thanks to training support from a number of medical schools and teaching hospitals with prime resources in the country,training quality is maintained at a high level.As one of the first cities in practicing the standardized residents training,Shenzhen has made an initial success.But the management system and standardized training model still need further improvement and further exploration to improve the training program in the city.

Objective:To observe and analyze the therapeutic effect and safety of tirofiban combined large dose statin in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI),and evaluate its influence on myocardial perfusion and cardiac function.Methods:A total of 97 consecutive AMI patients visited to our hospital from May 2011 to January 2013, who were beyond the emergency PCI time window (≥12h),their chest pain was remissive or not further aggravated were studied.All patients were pumped with tirofiban for 48h continuously;according to combined rosuvastatin dose,they were divided into large dose group (n = 52,20mg,once/d,until one month after infarction,then changed to routine dose of 10mg,once/d)and routine dose group (n=45,10mg,once/d).All patients received se-lective PCI after 7 ~ 10d conservative treatment.Myocardial perfusion level,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)on one week after PCI and 30d after AMI,enzymology changes [creatine (CK),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)]and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)during hospitalization were compared between two groups.Results:Compared with routine dose group,there were significant reductions in thrombus scores in infarct related artery (IRA)[(1.32±1.01)scores vs.(0.81±0.78)scores]and corrected TIMI frame [(32.4±4.73)vs. (26.8±2.34)]in large dose group (P =0.021,P <0.001);after selective PCI,TIMI flow of large dose group was significantly better than that of routine dose group (P =0.024).On one week after PCI,LVEF:(51.4±8.9)% of large dose group was significantly higher than that of routine dose group (47.7±8.7)%,P =0.021;there were no significant difference in levels of CK and LDH between two groups on 7d and 30d after PCI (P >0.05).There was no MACE in both groups during hospitalization and 30d after PCI.Conclusion:Tirofiban combined large dose statin is safe and effective in patients with acute myocardial infarction,it can reduce intra-coronary thrombus burden,im-prove myocardial tissue perfusion and cardiac function without increasing MACE.

Objective To explore the new way of administration and clinical effect of botulinum toxin A in the treatment of focal hyperhidrosis.Methods The clinical efficacy was observed in 132 sites of 28 patients with focal hyperhidrosis,and the degree and range of focal hyperhidrosis were determined by the minor iodine-starch test.50 U of botulinum toxin A was injected in unilateral axillary,palms and soles with BellaVita instrument and 30 U for forehead.Each patient was followed-up in 1 week,2 weeks and every month after injection for 8 months.According to the results of the minor iodine-starch test the objective effect and evaluation score were obtained,and the comprehensive effect evaluation score was calculated with the objective effect evaluation score and the subjective effect evaluation score in each follow-up.Results The comprehensive effect evaluation score before injection of botulinum toxin A was 1.34±3.94,and that after injection was 23.21±9.44 for 1 week,92.41±11.95 for 1 month,98.21±5.60 for 2 months,95.98±5.94 for 3 months,and 86.61±10.17 for 4 months,respectively.Compared with that before injection,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜0.05).The effect decreased slowly after 4 months of injection,and the efficacy was maintained for 8 months (4.46±6.98);compared with that before injection,the difference of the clinical efficacy was not statistically significant (P ＞0.05).Based on the comprehensive effect evaluation scores,the differ ence of the clinical efficacy was not statistically significant between 1 week and 6 months after injection (P＞0.05).Conclusions The clinical effect of botulinum toxin A injected by BellaVita is prompt and effective for focal hyperhidrosis.

BACKGROUND: With the rapid development of digital orthopaedics, navigational template has been widely used in the field of orthopaedics, but the research status of the technique in China based on bibliometric analysis is never reported. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the application status of navigational template in the orthopaedic field and to explore its tendency and hot spot based on bibliometric analysis, thereby providing reference for the development of digital orthopaedics in China.METHODS: A computer-based retrieval of CBMdisc, CNKI, CSPD, CMCI databases was conducted for articles published before December 1, 2016 using the keywords of navigational template and subject heading orthopaedics and the core orthopaedic journals published in 2016 were searched by manual. The articles were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and finally were analyzed by bibilometric study.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) In China, the first paper reporting navigational template was issued in 2008. A total of 199 articles were published in the past 9 years, with more than 10 papers yearly from 2009 to 2014, while there was a rapid increase tendency during 2015 and 2016. (2) The articles were mainly published in the orthopaedic journals and some professional journals closely related to digital orthopaedics, such as biomedical engineering, basic medicine and digital medicine. About 86.9% papers belong to Chinese core journals, including Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma,Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics, and Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research. (3) There is a 99.5% cooperation rate and 6.15 degree of cooperation. Zhang Yuan-zhi, Ding Huan-wen, Lu Sheng, Chen Yu-bing, Hu Yong,Huang Xuan and Zheng Peng-fei are most productive authors, and core authors contribute to 53.8%, indicating that the group of core authors is being formed. First authors are all from hospitals and universities, mostly from Kunming General Hospital of Chengdu Military Command of PLA, General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command of PLA, the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University and South China University of Technology. The cooperation rate of more than two institutes occupies 54.8%, indicating that the study holds a promising future with the strong support of research institutes in universities. About 59.3% articles are sponsored by funding, the national and provincial foundations accounting for 64.0% in 239 projects, and 57.6% articles were supported by more than two foundations, revealing the high research levels and academic values of this technique. (4) The articles are cited by 763 times; Lu Sheng,Chen Yu-bing, and Zhang Yuan-zhi are the highly cited authors; Kunming General Hospital of Chengdu Military Command of PLA, General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command of PLA and Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University are the highly cited institutes, and Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma is the highly cited journal. (5) To conclude, based on product design, manufacture and cadaver studies of the navigational template, it has been extensively applied in the spine surgery (especially cervical surgery), orthopaedic traumatology, bone and joint surgery,bone tumor and pediatric orthopaedics, and has obtained satisfactory clinical outcomes in assisting screw placement,osteotomy and precise resection and functional reconstruction. However, there is still a lack of a large-sample,multicenter, and long-term randomized trial.

The effect and mechanism of α-lipoic acid(ALA)on the injury of kidneys in diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin were investigated.Results showed that ALA decreased the level of oxidative stress,the production of advanced glycation end products(AGE)[(0.087±0.003 vs 0.103 4±0.014)pg/mg protein,P<0.05],and the expression of AGE receptor protein(1.8I±0.04 vs 2.67±0.01,P<0.01)and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)mRNA(1.51 4±0.20 vs 2.04±0.08,P<0.05)in renal cortex of diabetie rats,resulting in reduced kidney injury and improved renal function in diabetic rats.

Background and purpose:The previous research has found that the prostate stromal cells derived from different prostate zones have distinct effect on prostate epithelial cells. We also revealed that LMO2 protein was highly expressed in PZ stromal cells (PZSCs) and prostate cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) compared with TZ stromal cells. This study investigated the effect of LMO2 protein in prostate stromal cells on proliferation and invasion of prostate cancer PC-3 cells and its mechanisms. Methods:Lentivirus overexpression vectors were used to establish LMO2-overexpressed prostate WPMY-1 stromal cell line. shRNA plasmids were used to suppress LMO2 in CAFs. LMO2 mRNA and protein level of both WPMY-1 and CAFs were evaluated by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) and Western blot. Then, PC-3 cells were co-cultured with different prostate stromal cells and the in vitro proliferation and invasion of PC-3 were measured by CCK-8 and matrigel invasion assays respectively. Results:When co-cultured with LMO2-overexpressed prostate stromal cells, both proliferation and in-vasion of PC-3 were improved. However, when co-cultured with CAFs which have inhibited expression of LMO2, the proliferation and invasion of PC-3 were reduced. The protein array proifling found that both interleukin-11 (IL-11) and ifbroblast growth factor-9 (FGF-9) were enhanced extensively in the supernatant collected from LMO2-overexpressed WPMY-1 cells. Conclusion:The expression of LMO2 in prostate stromal cells could be responsible for development of prostate cancer. Paracrine of cytokines, such as IL-11 and FGF-9, from LMO2-overexpressed stromal cells had effects on the proliferation and invasion of prostate cancer cells.

Objective To reveal the difference between the standards for genu varum and genu valgum in the medical standard directory PLA Air Force( PLAAF) for recruitment of flying cadets and those adopted in the United States Air Force ( USAF) , and suggest a method for the reform of our flying cadets recruitment.Methods The rejection rate and comprehe nsive assessment qualification rate of genu varum and genu valgum during physical examinations for recruitment of flying cadets between 2012 and 2015 were analyzed.The different standards for genu varum and genu valgum in PLAAF and USAF flying cadets recruitment were compared and subjected to an empirical study.Results During the final physical examination for selection of flying cadets between 2012 and 2015, only 18 candidates were eliminated because of genu varum and genu valgum, accounting 9.1% of the total eliminated candidates because of orthopadics diseases.Four candidates with genu varum and genu valgum passed the comprehensive assessment in 2014 and 31 in 2015, which accounted for 15%of the candidates with orthopaedics diseases approved by comprehensive assessment.The standards for genu varum and genu valgum in PLAAF were based on morphology while those in the USAF based on the function of knees.According to the USAF medical standard directory, 9 of the candidates rejected because of genu varum and genu valgum were qualified and 9 disqualified.Among the candidates with genu varum and genu valgum approved by comprehensive assessment, 32 were qualified and 3 disqualified.Conclusion The standards for genu varum and genu valgum in PLAAF medical standard directory are of lower accuracy.The standards of USAF should be referred to and the function of knees should be considered in selection of flying cadets.Femur-tibia angle should be measured to improve the morphological standards.

Objective:To provide recommendations for further improvement of resident standardization training in Shenzhen according to carrying on the appraisal to the present stage of the training work.
