Objective　To investigate the causes of recurrent spontaneous abortion(RSA) and to know the relation between RSA and antiphospholipid thrombosis syndrome(APL-T). Methods　ELISA and PTT-LA were used to detect anticardiolipin antibody(ACA) and lupus anticoagulant(LA) in 32 patients with RSA and 20 normal controls(NC). Results　There were 17 positive of antiphospholipid antibody(APA) in RSA group. The incidence was significantly higher than that in NC group. The incidence of LA was also significantly higher than that in NC group. 8 patients were diagnosed as APL-T. Conclusion　LA may be the more important reason of RSA. It should be considered as APL-T when RSA is unexplained.

Objective Perform a quantitative analysis on the development stage of Universal Health Coverage (UHC)in China and discuss key options for scaling up UHC in China.Methods Quantitative addition model was used to analyze the UHC trend in China from 2003-2011,along with a sensitivity analysis and international comparison with the UK.Results The quantitative analysis showed that the UHC in China,for the year of 2003,2008 and 2011 were 2.79,2.32 and 2.60 respectively.Sensitivity analysis showed the integration of the health insurance schemes and scaling up the risk pooling levels contributed more than other factors to UHC in China.Conclusion The UHC in China has been developed to the mid-stage,but still lags far behind developed countries like the UK.Such general measures as equalization of benefits and scaling up of the risk pooling level should be taken.First of all,equalization of medical benefits for both rural and urban residents makes the fundamental priority and policy in the pursuit of UHC in China.

Objective To know about care experience and medical care demands of caregivers of retinopathy of prematurity children in order to provide reference for clinic. Methods A total of 11 caregivers were interviewed by qualitative research methodology. Data and subjects were refined by Colaizzi methodology. Results Totally 3 subjects about care experience were extracted, which were high psychological pressure, heavy caregiver burden, desire for medical and nursing support. Conclusions Medical care personnel should improve treatment system of retinopathy of prematurity and provide information and psychological support in order to improve quality of life of children.

Objective To investigate the effects of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) on the signal transduction pathway of cigarette smoke-induced mucin (MUC) expression in airway mucous hypersecretion. Methods The cell model of mucous hypersecretion was made by human lung A549 cell stimulated by cigarette smoke extract (CSE),and treated with hemin or ZnPPIX,an inductor or inhibitor of HO-1. The expression of HO-1,dual oxidase 1(Duox1),MUC5AC,epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and p-EGFR were detected. The cell viability treated with hemin or ZnPPIX was assessed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium method (MTT). The cells were divided into 4 groups:a negative control group,a CSE treatment group,an hemin pre-treatment group and a ZnPPIX pre-treatment group. The changes of EGFR mRNA,Duox1 mRNA,HO-1 mRNA and MUC5AC mRNA were examined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The protein expression changes of Duox1,HO-1,p-EGFR and EGFR were measured by Western blot,while the protein of MUC5AC in supernate and endochylema were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The expression levels of MUC5AC mRNA and its protein in supernate liquid and endochylema in the CSE group were (0.660?0.044),(62.80?6.85) ?g/mg and (157.00?3.26) ?g/mg,and those of EGFR were 0.596?0.061 and 0.620?0.051,both of them increased significantly (P0.05),while the protein of p-EGFR,the mRNA and protein of EGFR,Duox1 and MUC5AC increased significantly (P

Serine proteinase inhibitor9(P1-9),a charac-teristic member of serpins,has been identified as the only inhibitor of granzyme B(GrB).Accumulated evidence suggested that PI-9 inhibits GrB-induced apoptosis by blocking DNA fragmentation of target cell.Physiologically,PI-9 could protect cytotoxic lymphocytes from committing autolysis or fratricide,and play an important role in facilitating immunologic tolerance of immune-privileged sites.In addition,evidences in recent years suggest that PI-9 Was also involved in vailous pathologic processes,such as inflammation,trans plantation and immune tolerance of tumor.

Granzyme B is an important effect factor of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the immune killer function,can quickly induce cell apoptosis of the target cell.It is complicated for the reasons and the ways of the occurrence of the cell apoptosis,many genes are involved in gene regulation of cell apoptosis,and the B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 gene family members play a crucial role in the process of cell apoptosis.This paper mainly reviews the correlation of GrB and Bcl-2,Bid with cell apoptosis.

Objective: To view the characteristics and the primary treatment of civilian firearm wound in the maxillofacial region.Methods: 301 cases of the casualties admitted to our hospital were retrospectively investigated,the epidemic, etiology, wound characteristics, and treatments of the patients were viewed respectively. Results: Of all the cases, the ratio of male to female was 5.1∶1.0. 57% of the injuries were caused by gunshot, 66% were with multiple injuries.16% combination wound were craniocerebral injuries. In this group of patients, more than 900 wound tracks were found, 72% of the tracks were nonpenetrating and 67% of those were with foreign bodies lodged in. Burns with blast injuries were the main complex wounds, which mostly occurred in explosion. The treatments mainly included life maintaining, earlier debridement and infection control. Conclusions: The maxillofacial firearm injuries are complex and have their own characteristics depending on the firearms, the wound styles and the regional anatomy. All the factors must be considered when treatment is given.
