Objective To investigate the value of deiminated recombinant rat filaggrin antibodies (ArFA)in predicting the activity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods ArFA was detected with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)in 61 patients with active RA and 48 patients with inactive RA.The ESR,CRP,RF were measured,while tender ioint count,swollen joint count and patient's general assessment were recorded.The level of ArFA in 20 RA patients was measured before and after treatment.Results The level of ArFA in patients with active RA was higher compared with patients with inactive RA [(130±35)U/L cs(66±25)U/L,P=0.004 ],the level of ArFA after treatment was reduced (79.8 U/ml vs 118.2 U/ml,P=0.000).Conclusion The level of ArFA can predict disease activity of RA.

Results The linear range of caffeic acid was 0.052～0.26 ?g (r=0.999 8), with average recovery rate of 97.44% (RSD=0.78%). Conclusion The established method is simple, rapid and accurate, and suitable for the quality control of Chanhou Tieshijin.

Purpose:To explore the effects of stem cell factor(SCF) in combination with erythropoietin (EPO) on erythropoiesis in patients with anemia associated with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Methods:Bone marrow (BM) mononuclear cells (MNC) from NHL patients and normal simples were cultured for 7 consecutives days in the presence or absence of SCF, EPO, and SCF+EPO in liquid medium. Erythropoiesis was analyzed by calculating the fraction of recovered erythroid cells and by flow cytometry. Results:Cultures stimulated with SCF+EPO contained a marked increased fractions of recovered erythroid cells compared to cells cultured in EPO alone in NHL simples (P

Objective To investigate the neurosurgery nurses turnover intention and the psychological contract status to analyze the relationship between them. Methods The Departure Will Scale and Questionnaire of Psychological Contract were used to survey 128 neurosurgery nurses from seven general hospitals in Lishui city. Results Of neurosurgery nurses turnover intention scale was (2.24±0.71) points, whose leaving intend was stronger;Psychological contract items was (4.17±0.67) points, which organization responsibility score wasbelow employees responsibility; Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the psychological contract in the organization responsibility (organization specification responsibility, organization, personal responsibility and organizational development responsibility) could predict neurosurgery nurses′ willingness to leave, which could be able to explain their willingness to leave 13.5%of the variation. Conclusions Neurosurgery nurses′willingness to leave is strong, and psychological contract is an important factors affecting the will of their departure.

Objective To investigate surgical outcomes of treatment of pilon fractures of Ruedi -Allgower types Ⅱ and Ⅲ by raft screws fixation combined with bone grafting.Methods 21 patients with pilon fractures of Ruedi -Allgower types II and Ⅲ received surgery were selected.They were 15 men and 6 women,23 to 68 years of age(average 38.2 years).16 cases were closed and 5 cases open.12 cases were type II and 9 cases type III.Intervals between injury and operation ranged from 7 to 14 days,with 8.5 days on average.All of them were treated with raft screws fixation by plate type L combined with bone grafting.Results All cases were followed up for an average of 12 months(range from 8 to 30 months).Fractures healed from 16 to 24 weeks,with 18.2 weeks on average.According to the Burwell -Charnley radiological criteria,anatomical reduction was achieved in 17 cases,and fair reduction in 4.According to the Mazur clinical criteria,ankle functions were rated as excellent in 8 cases,good in 10 cases,fair in 2 cases and poor in 1 case.The rate of excellent and good was 85.7%.Conclusion Raft screws fixation combined with bone grafting are effective for the pilon fractures of Ruedi -Allgower types II and Ⅲ,preventing articular surface collapse and leading to anatomic reduction,and has stable fixation and early functional rehabilitation.

Aim The present study was designed to investigate the growth inhibition and anti-angiogenesis of arsenic trioxide (As 2O 3) on B16 cells xenografts in C57BL/6J mice and observe the effects of As 2O 3 on cell proliferation, cell morphology, cell cycle and apoptosis in vitro. Methods Mice melanoma cell line B16 was transplanted into C57BL/6J mice. The weight of tumor and percent of tumor development were examined after As 2O 3 intraperitoneal administration. HE staining and immunohistochemistry for Ⅷ-R Ag were performed to detect the microvessel density in tumor tissues. CellTiter 96 Aqueous One was used to determine the cell proliferation. Giemsa and Feulgen staining were used to observe the morphological changes of the cells. Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM). Results As 2O 3 significantly inhibited the tumor growth in vivo, with an inhibitory rate of 81.61%. The microvessel density in tumor tissues was obviously reduced after treated with As 2O 3. There was obviously a concentration-dependent relationship between As 2O 3 and the inhibition of B16 cells proliferation (P

In order to examine the strong anticancer action and low toxicity of Trichostatin A (TSA), the effect of TSA was examined on the growth inhibition, acetylation of histone H3 and apoptosis in HL-60 cells by employing MTT, immunocytochemical techniques, and Annexin-V-FITC/ PI assay. Our results showed that TSA could inhibit proliferation of HL- 60 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and the IC50 at the 36th h was 100 ng/ml. The apoptosis-inducing effect of TSA on HL-60 cells was also time- and dose-dependent. But it didn't demonstrate apparent apoptosis induction in NPBMNCs within specific dose and time range. Both of the acetylation of histone H3 in HL-60 cells and NPBMNCs increased significantly (P<0.05) after treated with 100 ng/ml TSA for 4 h. However, there was no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). It is concluded that TSA can inhibit growth and induce apoptosis of HL-60 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and is able to selectively induce apoptosis in HL-60 cells but does not respond in NPBMNCs under the same conditions. The difference of TSA between HL-60 cells and NPBMNCs can't be explained by the regulation of histone acetylation.

Objective To investigate the circadian change of autonomic nervous system in hyperthyroidism (HT) patients. Methods Recording 24 h dynamic electrocardiography from 33 HT patients( HT group) and 35 controls (control group). The cardiac autonomic nervous function was evaluated by the time domain and frequency domain analysis of heart rate variability( HRV). Results Comparing with control group, the SDNN, SDANN, ASDNN and rMSSD were significantly lower in HT group[ (82.3 ± 29.0)ms vs. (139.4±40.2 ) ms, ( 75.0 ± 27.4) ms vs. ( 130.3 ± 43.9) ms, (29.9 ± 14.9 ) ms vs. (57.3 ± 14.4) ms,( 19.8 ± 10.9 ) ms vs. (29.5 ± 9.4) ms ] (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05 ), the long term total power (TP), high frequency (HF), low frequency (LF) and very low frequency (VLF) were significantly lower in HT group [ (566.1±573.2) ms2/Hz vs. ( 1894.2 ± 984.3)ms2/Hz, (68.1 ± 88.9 ) ms2/Hz vs. (232.7 ± 155.5 ) ms2/Hz, ( 127.4 ±163.0) ms2/Hz vs. (551.3 ± 390.6) ms2/Hz, (330.3 ± 300.6) ms2/Hz vs. (1073.2 ± 570.2) ms2/Hz] (P ＜0.01 ). Comparing with control group, short term VLF was higher in HT group during most time in 24 hours (P＜ 0.05 ). Short term LF was higher in HT group mainly in day time (P＜ 0.05 ). Short term HF was higher in HT group occasionally in the whole day (P＜0.05). Short term LF/HF didn't show significant difference between HT group and control group at most time points (P＞0.05).Conclusion In HT patients, cardiac chronotropic property is impaired, sympathetic activity increases in whole day, vagal activity increases correspondently but the increase in day is more marked than that in night.
