Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics for new detecting cases of leprosy in 2012, in Yunnan Province, and provide clue and foundation for prevention and treatment in leprosy control. Methods The date of diagnosed leprosy patients in 2012 in Yunnan Province were collected and analyzed by disease reporting information system. Results 230 new cases were founded in 2012, and the discovery rate was 0.50/100 000. 4.35% of new cases were children, 64.35% of new cases were MB and 19.57% had grade 2 disability. 17 recurrent cases were founded in 2012,and 6 of them had received MDT. By the end of 2012, there were still 1084 present case in Yunnan Province,the prevalence rate was 0.24/10 000,and 485 of them need MDT. Conclusion The prevalence of leprosy was decreased,and the prevalence varies a lot in different regions. Honghe and Wenshan are still the focus regions. Leprosy is still a serious public health and social problem in Yunnan Province. In order to reduce the burden of leprosy and eliminate the leprosy danger, long-term financing investment and prevention are still needed.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the bacterial vaginosis and 8 putative periodontal pathogen infection.Methods A total of 48 patients with bacterial vaginosis were collected and 47 healthy female patients were selectedin the control group.Vaginal secretion and subgingival plaque were obtained from the study group and the control group.The presence of Porphyromonasgingivalis (P.g),Tannerella forsythia (T.f),Treponemas denticola (T.d),Prevotell intermedia (P.i),Prevotella nigrescen (P.n),Peptostreptococcus micros (P.m),Fusobacteriumnucleatum (F.n) and Campylobacterrectas (C.r) was detected by DNA extraction and PCR method.Simultaneously,all the patients underwent a clinical periodontal examination of the teeth in community periodontal index,including plaque index (PLI),bleeding on probing (BOP),probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) Results The prevalence of periodontal disease,PLI,BOP and CAL in the study group was significantly higher than in the control group (P＜0.05) and the PD had no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (P＞O.05).The 2 groups were both detected 8 putative periodontal pathogens in the vaginal secretion and the subgingival plaque samples.The detection ratio of T.dfrom both the vaginal secretion and subgingival plaque samples was significantly higher in the study group than that in the control group (P ＜0.05),and other 7 pathogens showed no statistically significant difference (P ＞0.05) Conclusion The prevalence of periodontal disease was higher among the bacterial vaginosis patients.The 8 putative periodontal pathogens were normal flora in the subgingival plaque and vaginal secretion.Td might be relevant to the pathogenesis of bacterial vaginosis.

OBJECTIVE: To study the therapeutic effect of treating knee arthropathy with total knee arthroplasty using rotating-platform knee prosthesis. METHODS: A total of 62 patients (74 knees) in Provincial Hospital Affiliated To Shandong University from January 2005 to January 2009 were selected, including 36 males (41 knees) and 26 females (33 knees), aged 52-79 years, mean aged 61.5 years; 28 cases with left knee, 22 cases with right knee and 12 cases of both knees. The cases were composed of 34 cases with osteoarthritis, 21 cases with rheumatoid arthritis and 7 cases with traumatic arthritis. All the patients received the total knee arthroplasty for the first time using rotating-platform knee prosthesis, no replacement of the patella. The clinical results of pre-operetion and after-operation were evaluated by the HSS knee rating score system. RESULTS: All the patients were followed-up for averaged 22 months (3-48 months) after operation. Incisions of all the cases were healed, and there was no infection and hematoma. Lower extremity deep venous thrombosis occurred in 2 cases at 3 days after operation. Swelling disappeared through drug treatment 10 days later. Pain and function of all the patients were obviously ameliorated after operation. The average HSS knee rating score was 44.99 (from 34 to 58) before total knee arthroplasty, which was improved to 88.78 (from 69 to 98), and the good-to-excellent rate was 98% (excellent 45 cases, good 16 cases, average 1 case). There were no signs of prosthetic dislocation or loosening in the X-ray films. CONCLUSION: Total knee arthroplasty using rotating-platform knee prosthesis owns advantages of easy surgical operation, tess complications, good recovery and satisfactory results in a short-term.

Objective To investigate the survival of islet isograft in NOD mice treated with islet antigen-specific regulatory T cells.Methods GAD-65 antigen pulsed immature dendritic cells (imDC) were used to induce naive T cells into islet antigen-specific regulatory T cells.NOD mice which had progressed to type 1 diabetes (T1DM),as the recipients,received islet isografts (500 IEQ) under renal capsule from NOD mice without T1DM.In NOD mice in control group without transplantation,the changes in blood glucose (BG) were observed.NOD mice in simple islet transplantation group were given islet isograft without Treg infusion.In experiment group,NOD mice were infused with 1 × 106 islet antigen-specific regulatory T cells on the 1st day before transplantation,subsequently underwent islet isotransplantation.The survival of the islet isograft was evaluated by BG levels and the pathological changes were observed.Results BG levels were sustained above 11.1 mmol/L in control group.In simple islet transplantation group,BG level was decreased to the normal level in 1 ～2 days after transplantation,and began to rebound in 7～ 17 days posttransplantation and maintained at the preoperative level.The mean survival of the islet isograft in the NOD mice was (12.2 ± 2.6) day;In experiment group,BG level was decreased to the normal level in 1 ～2 days after transplantation,rebounded above 11.1 mmol/L in some mice on the 27th day after transplantation,and rebounded above 11.1 rnmol/L on the 43th day in all mice.The mean survival of the islet isograft in the NOD mice was (35.2 ± 4.3) days,which was significantly prolonged compared to simple islet transplantation group (P＜ 0.01).In simple islet transplantation group,the islet isograft was infiltrated by many lymph cells and damaged severely,and only few residual islet cells secreted insulin without complete islet existing in insulin staining.The islet isograft in experiment group was intact on the 15th day,with little lymph cell infiltration and a great number of islets secreting insulin.Conclusion Infusion of islet antigen-specific regulatory T cells induced by imDC and islet antigen GAD-65 in vitro could delay the destruction of autoimmune system and prolong the islet isograft survival in NOD mice.

BACKGROUND:The patients receiving total knee arthroplasty are high in average age, and often accompanied with hypertension, diabetes and other basic diseases. Due to the poor physical conditions of the patients,
perioperative hemorrhage becomes the important factor that affecting the safety of replacement.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze perioperative hidden hemorrhage of primary total knee arthroplasty, and to explore the method of evaluating perioperative blood loss by osteoarthritis severity before total knee arthroplasty.
METHODS:A retrospective analysis of 126 knee osteoarthritis patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty was conducted. Al the patients were divided into two groups according to Kel gren and Lawrecne imaging classification:stage Ⅲ group and stage Ⅳ group. The hidden hemorrhage of the patients in two groups was calculated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The average total blood loss of the patients was 1 560 mL, included hidden hemorrhage 865 mL (55%). The mean blood loss of stage Ⅲ group was 1 290 mL with the mean hidden
hemorrhage of 684 mL (53%). The mean blood loss of stage Ⅳ group was 1 644 mL with the mean hidden
hemorrhage of 921 mL (56%). Statistical analysis showed there were significant differences of total blood loss and hidden hemorrhage between two groups (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the percentage of
hidden hemorrhage. The results indicate that higher grade of osteoarthritis imaging classification, the more of total blood loss and hidden hemorrhage, while the change of the percentage of hidden hemorrhage is not significant. Preoperative evaluation of patients’ blood loss by osteoarthritis severity has great significance for blood
management and surgical safety of patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) genetic transfection on the intimal hyperplasia of venous autografts. MethodsThe external jugular veins were autografted into abdominal aorta arteries in 20 Wistar rats, which were divided evenly into experimental or control groups. The transplanted veins of experimental group were immersed in the adenovirus-mediated eNOS gene solution for 15 minutes just before anastomosis. The transplanted vascular samples were taken out 2 weeks after operation. The intimal thickness(IH), degree of restenosis(DR), expression of PCNA and NOS mRNA were determined with histology and transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ResultsThe IH, DR and PCNA decreased, while the expression of eNOS mRNA increased comparing with control group(P<0.01). ConclusionTransfection of NOS gene can inhibit the intimal hyperplasia of venous autografts.

Objective:To examine the expression of nitric oxide synthase(NOS),the content of nitric oxide and blood flow in nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis guinea pigs,so as to further investigate the mechanism of allergic rhinitis.Methods:One hundred and twenty guinea pigs were randomly divided into control group(injected with normal saline)and allergic group(nasal challenge with egg albumin).The guinea pigs were executed before and immediately,24,48,72 h after the last nasal challenge;the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS)and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)and the content of nitric oxide were examined in mucosa tissues.The blood flow in the nasal mucosa was determined in animals before execution.Linear regression correlation was used to analyze the relationship between the nitric oxide content and blood flow in nasal mucosa.Results:The immunostaining for iNOS in surface epithelium of allergic rhinitis guinea pigs was markedly stronger than that of normal guinea pigs at all time points(P

Objective:To investigate the effects of oxymatrine(OM)on the apoptosis of human hepatoma HepG2 cells and its possible mechanisms.Methods:HepG2 cells were treated with different concentrations of OM.The proliferation inhibition was measured by MTT assay and the apoptosis of HepG2 cells were examined by Hochest staining method.Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis rate.The expression of caspase-3,Bcl-2,Bcl-x_L and Bax proteins was assayed by Western blotting assay.Results:OM inhibited HepG2 cells growth in a time-and dose-dependent manner.After treatment with OM for 24 hours,some cells appeared typical apoptotic characteristics and the apoptosis rate was increased. Treatment with OM also increased caspase-3 activity and Bax expression in HepG2 cells,and decreased the expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x_L.Conclusion:OM can induce HepG2 cell apoptosis,which may be related to the down-regulation of PI3K/Akt signal pathway,suppression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x_L activity,and activation of caspase-3.
