Objective To investigate the clinical significance of bone marrow prolymphocytes increasing range from 5 ％ to 15 ％ after complete remission (CR) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia provide a prognosis index.Methods The cases of the children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia were analyzed retrospectively.They were divided into three groups,namely A group (N ≤ 5 ％),B group (5 ％ ＜ N ≤ 10 ％),C group (10 ％ ＜ N ≤ 15 ％) according to the bone marrow lymphoblast percentage,and their relapse rates were analysed.Results After the CR,the appearance of bone marrow prolymphocytes slightly increased in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia accounted for 40.54 ％ (30/74).When the bone marrow prolymphocytes increased to 5 ％＜ N≤ 10 ％,the difference of relapse rates [21.05 ％ (4/19)] had no statistically significant compared with the negative control group [15.91％ (7/44)] (P =0.895),when they increased to 10 ％ ＜ N ≤ 15 ％,the difference of relapse rates [54.54 ％ (6/11)] had statistically significant compared with the negative control group (P =0.014).The difference of incidence rates of this slightly increasing between children' s B-ALL and T-ALL had no statistically significant (P =0.078).Conclusions The bone marrow prolymphocytes increase slightly (5 ％ ＜ N ≤ 10 ％) after CR in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia might be the normal bone marrow B-lineage lymphocytes' reactive hyperplasia and the prognosis is relatively well.When the bone marrow prolymphocytes increase to 10 ％ ＜ N≤ 15 ％,these prolymphocytes are most likely to be leukemia cells and indicate the possibility of relapse.

Objective To explore the effect of family doctor contracting service combined with drug therapy on the quality of life of patients with hypertension. Methods Selected in May 2016 to May 2017 in a city in a district of three community health service center clinics diagnosed with hypertension in patients with 840 cases, were given amlodipine besylate tablets treatment, and the implementation of conventional health management And community intervention. According to whether or not to accept the family doctor contract service is divided into observation group (a total of 435 cases) and the control group (a total of 405 cases). Health status questionnaire (SF-36) was used to assess the quality of life before and after the intervention, and the blood pressure control and quality of life improvement were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results There was no significant difference in the blood pressure level between the two groups before treatment. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the observation group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in physiological function, physiological function, physical pain, general health, mental health, energy, social function, affective function and total score of SF-36 before treatment. The scores of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group before and after treatment. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Family doctor contract service combined with drug therapy can effectively control the patient's blood pressure levels, improve the quality of life.

Objective:To evaluate the catastrophic health expenditure for poor and lower-income rural residents and the ability of New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme( NRCMS) to alleviate poverty. Methods:We selected Zhe-jiang, Hubei, and Chongqing provinces as sample areas and obtained 1661 questionnaires through a field survey. We calculated the out-of-pocket expenditure per year, incidence, average gap, relative gap, and concentration index of catastrophic health expenditure for participating households. Results:Both before and after compensation, incidence, average gap, and relative gap of catastrophic health payment for poverty group were the highest, followed by low-in-come group. After compensation, the concentration index decreased. This means that catastrophic health expenditure tends to be focused more on families with financial difficulties. Conclusion:To protect poor and low-income rural res-idents from catastrophic health expenditure, we should promote critical illness insurance, improve the medical assis-tance system, implement payment reform, and improve the NRCMS.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of decapeptide, a novel antimicrobial peptide, against several major cariogenic and periodontopathogenic bacteria in vitro. METHODS In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial activity of decapeptide against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), Streptococcus sobrinus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus sanguis, Streptococcus gordonii, Actinomyces viscosus, Actinomyces naeslundii, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, and Saccharomyces albicans in vitro using the agar diffusion method and broth dilution method. Furthermore, a time-kill kinetic study of decapeptide against S. mutans was performed.

RESULTSThe results showed that decapeptide exhibited antimicrobial activity against various oral bacteria and fungi. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of main cariogenic bacteria ranged from 62.5 μg · mL(-1) to 125 μg · mL(-1), and the MIC of periodontopathogenic bacteria tested ranged from 250 μg · mL(-1) to 1,000 μg · mL(-1). Among the bacteria tested, decapeptide had a strong inhibitory effect on cariogenic S. mutans. Results of the time-kill kinetic studies showed that decapeptide reduced the viable counts of S. mutans by more than one order of magnitude after 20 min of incubation, and thoroughly killed S. mutans after 30 min. No viable cells could be detected after 24 h of incubation.

CONCLUSIONThis study suggest that decapeptide might have potential clinical application in treating dental caries by killing S. mutans within dental plaque.

Objective To evaluate the possible factors that may influence the resting energy expenditure (REE) in patients with newly diagnosed esophageal cancer. Methods Totally, 40 patients with newly diagnosed esophageal cancer were prospectively collected from November 2008 to June 2009 in Xinhua Hospital. Nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) was performed. REE and body composition were measured using indirect calorimetry and bioeletrical impedence method, respectively. Results Twenty-seven (67.5%) patients were found with nutrition risk, and NRS score was negatively correlated with prealbumin ( r = - 0.444, P = 0.004) and albumin levels (r = - 0.386, P = 0.014). Measured REE and predicted REE values were ( 6770 ± 1360) and (6021 ± 841 ) kJ/d, respectively (P ＜ 0.001 ). Among all 40 patients, 57.5% of them were hypermetabolic,30.0% were normal, and 12.5% were hypometabolic. Stepwise linear regression analysis showed that fat free mass was the only significant determinant variable for REE (P ＜ 0.001 ). Conclusion Fat free mass is a factor than can influence the energy metabolism in patients with newly diagnosed esophageal cancer.
