Objective To analyze factors influencing the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and discuss the prevention and treatment of DVT in hip fracture patients. Methods The present study enrolled 531 patients who received surgery between June, 2008 to June, 2010 for hip fractures. They were 242 men with a mean age of 56. 2 years and 289 women with a mean age of 65.2 years. There were 336 femoral neck fractures, 183 femoral intertrochanteric fractures, and 12 femoral subtrochanteric fractures. The associations between DVT incidence and fracture type, plasma D-Dimer, sex, age and preoperative duration of immobilization were statistically analyzed. Inferior yens cava filters were used for patients who suffered DVT while surgery was performed. Results The total incidence of DVT was 10. 4% in this series. DVT occurred in 21 cases of femoral neck fracture, 34 cases of femoral intertrochanteric fracture and 0 case of femoral subtrochanteric fracture. All DVT events happened before surgery. DVT incidence had no significant associations with age or sex (P =0. 347 and 0. 376, respectively), but did with plasma D-Dimer, fracture type and preoperative duration of immobilization (P = 0. 002, 0. 017 and 0. 037, respectively). All the 55 DVT patients underwent a successful surgery. Conclusions The DVT incidence in hip fracture patients may have no significant associations with age or sex, but may do with plasma D-Dimer, fracture type and preoperative duration of immobilization. Inferior vena cava filters can ensure a successful internal fixation of the fracture and an uneventful postoperative rehabilitation.

Objective To compare the phenotypes of abnormal CD4+CD25-Foxp3+ T cells with traditional regulatory T cells (CD4+CD25+Foxp3+) in patients with untreated new-onset lupus (UNoL) and investigate their clinical relevance. Methods The expressions of surface markers (CD25, CD127, CCR4, GITR, CTLA-4) and intracellular marker(Foxp3) on the peripheral blood mononuclear cells from twenty-two UNoL patients were analyzed by flow cytometry analysis, and their clinical relevance were assessed. Results There were no significant differences between CD4+CD25-Foxp3+ and CD4+CD25+Foxp3- T cells in the expressions of GITR, CTLA--4 and CCR4 (P>0.05), but they were significantly lower than those of CD4+CD25+ Foxp3+ T cells in UNoL patients (P<0.01). The percentages of CD127low- in CD4+Foxp3+CD25high,CD4+Foxp3+ CD25low and CD4+Foxp3+CD25+ T cells were (93.8±3.5 )%, (93.7±2.3)% and (92.0±2.1)% respectively (P> 0.05), whereas the expressions of Foxp3 on CD4+CD127low- T subpopulations showed significant differences in CD4+CDI27low-CD25high (91.4±2.6)%, CD4+CD127low-CD25low (71.9±3.3)% and CD4+CD127low-CD25- (9.0± 2.2)% T cells(P<0.01 ). The frequency of CD+CCR4+CD25high T cells correlated negatively with SLEDAI (r=-0.695,P<0.001).and it was significantly lower in lupus nephritis patients(1.10±0.17)%compared with SLE patients without nephritis [(1.61±0.23)%,P<0.01]and healthy controls [(1.75±0.10)%,P<0.01], furthermore,the frequency of CD4+CCR4+CD25low-T cells in lupus nephritis was significantly higher than that in healthy controls[(11.5±2.3)%vs (8.0±1.0)%,P<0.01].Conclusion The increased CD4+CD25-Foxp3+ T cells in the Untreated Newonset Lupus(UNoL)patients mimic activated T effector cells.CD4+CD25high-CD127low-T cells can be used to isolate live CD4+CD25highFoxp3+regulatory T cells.CCR4+regulatory T cells may be involved in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis.

Objective · To explore the biological characteristics of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and its effects on proliferation and differentiation of adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs). Methods · The whole blood was collected from the forelimb vein of healthy beagles to prepare the PRF membrane, which were observed with optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. ADSCs were collected from the inguinaladipose tissue and were isolated and cultured. Identification of multi-directionaldifferentiation potential was performed. ADSCs were assigned to the PRF group and the control group, the former was treated with PRF in vitro. Cell proliferation wasmeasured with CCK-8. Osteogenesis induction was performed for two groups and the expression of genes associated with osteogenesis, including osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN) and collagen I (Col- Ⅰ ), was measured with RT-PCR before induction and 4 and 7 days after induction. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activitywas measured 7 days after induction. Results · PRF is a milk white fibrin glue with elasticity and toughness. PRF can form loose and porous three dimensional network structure, which harbors lots of platelets and leucocytes. The cell proliferation activity was significantly higher in the PRF group than in the control group. After osteogenesis induction, the ALP activity and the mRNA levels of OCN, OPN, and Col- Ⅰ were significantly increased. Conclusion · PRF is a fibrin glue with three dimension network structure and contains lots of platelets, which can slowly release growth factors. PRF can promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs.

IFIT family genes are a kind of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs), and play important roles in antiviral sector and immunity regulation. To study the regulatory effect of IFIT family genes during influenza A virus (IAV) infection, we used RNA-sequencing analysis (RNA-Seq) technique and found that when 293T cells were infected by A/WSN/33 (WSN), the concentration of IFIT family genes were increased. Further study reveals that overexpression of IFIT2 or IFIT3 could inhibit IAV replication and transcription, and cause the dose-dependent inhibition of polymerase activity of vRNP. In addition, IFIT2 and IFIT3 encoding protein could colocalize with NS1 in 293T cells infected by WSN, indicating that they might interact with each other. The results suggest that IFIT family genes can inhibit the replication and transcription of IAV, which contributes to our understanding of the regulatory effect of host factors during influenza virus infection.

Objective To provide a data foundation not only for food safety supervision and pollution source tracing, but also for the clinical treatment of drug-resistant bacteria in barreled drinking water, the drug resistance and type Ⅲ secretion system (T3SS) virulence genes carriage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa detected in barreled drinking water in Hainan Province were investigated, and the correlative relationship between strain ribosomal subtypes and virulence genes were then discussed. Methods The drug resistance of the isolated 55 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was confirmed by using VITEK 2 Compact automatic microbial drug sensitivity system, and the T3SS virulence genes ExoU, ExoS, ExoT and ExoY were amplified by PCR, bacterial strain subtypes and homology were analyzed by the RiboPrinter automatic microbial gene fingerprint identification system. Results The drug sensitivity results showed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from barreled water had relatively low drug resistance, though one strain of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa was discovered, resistant to imipenem, ciprofloxacin and cefepime. The distribution of T3SS virulence genes showed four genotypic combinations: ExoT+/ExoY+/ExoS+/ExoU- (45.45%, 25/55), ExoT+/ExoY+/ExoS-/ExoU+ (34.55%, 19/55), ExoT+/ExoY-/ExoS-/ExoU+(18.18%, 10/55), ExoT+/ExoY+/ExoS+/ExoU+ (1.82%, 1/55). Ribosomal typing results showed that the Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were divided into six subtypes, the numbers of each subtype accounted for 24 (43.64%), 1 (1.82%), 25 (45.45%), 1 (1.82%), 3 (5.45%) and 1 (1.82%) respectively, with subtype Ⅰ and subtype Ⅲ being dominant. The main T3SS genotypes of the top two subtype I and subtype III were ExoT+/ExoY+/ExoS-/ExoU+ (16/24, 66.67%) and ExoT+/ExoY+/ExoS+/ExoU- (22/25, 88%). Conclusions The T3SS secretion system exhibits the characteristics of multiple virulence genes' coordinated expression, and there is a certain correlation between subtypes of bacterial strains and virulence genotypesThe exploration of the relationship between them provides guidance for tracing the source of Pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination, production control, clinical treatment in barrelled drinking water, and preliminarily establishes the initial data of local Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains in barrelled drinking water as well the related drug sensitivity data in Hainan.
