Objective To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on serum procalcitonin (PCT), white blood cells(WBC) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in children with necrotising fasciitis (NF) and its efficacy, and explore the diagnosis value of above indicators.Methods From March 2011 to June 2014,50 cases children with acute necrotic fasciitis treated in Children's Hospital of Hebei Province as study group,which were randomly divided into hyperbaric oxygen group (n =25) and routine group (n =25) .The routine group received the routine therapy of incision and drainage to clear the lesion, hyperbaric oxygen group received hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the basis of routine group,while 50 healthy children were selected as control group.The serum PCT, WBC, hs-CRP levels, efficacy, complications, death and hospitalization time were observed and compared.Results The serum PCT, WBC and hs-CRP levels pre-treatment in study group were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).The area under the ROC curve of PCT and hs-CRP was 1.000,respectively, and WBC was 0.804, there were significant difference between PCT and WBC (Z=5.250,P=0.000), between hs-CRP and WBC (Z=5.037,P=0.000).After treatment, the wounds of 23 case patients (92.00%) were cured in hyperbaric oxygen group, and 21 cases in routine group (84.00%) , there were no significant difference in cure rate between two groups.There were six cases(24.00%) of complications and one case (4.00%) of death in hyperbaric oxygen group,while nine cases (36.00%) of complications and two cases (8.00%) of death, there were no significant difference in complications rate and death rate between two groups.The hospitalization time in hyperbaric oxygen group was (39.17 ±6.73) d, which was significantly lower than (52.13 ±4.28) d in routine group(P<0.05).Conclusion PCT and hs-CRP have certain value in diagnosis of children with acute necrotizing fasciitis; incision and drainage combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a better clinical effect in the treatment of children with acute necrotizing fasciitis.

We investigated the carrying status of the virulence genes of Salmonella from different sources in Shijiazhuang City,China,to provide the basic data for the further risk assessment of Salmonella.A total of 186 isolates of Salmonella from different sources were collected and identified serotypes in the area of Shijiazhuang from 2011 to 2016.PCR was performed for eight virulence genes (invA,sopE,agfA,spvR,hilA,stn,pefA,shdA).These Salmonella bacteria were detected in 13 kinds of serotypes.Enteritidis is a significant advantage of the group.The above 8 virulence genes were analyzed,and the virulence genes hilA,stn and invA were the most frequently carried,their respective carrying rate were 90.3％ (168/186),86.6％ (161/186) and 82.8％ (154/186) respectively.We found the virulence genes of Salmonella from different sources were different.It is necessary to take measures to strengthen the food hygiene supervision and prevention and control of the storage and sale of raw poultry stalls in the morning market in Shijiazhuang area.

Objective To investigate the differences and characteristics of virulence genes carried by Salmonella enteritidis from different sources in Shijiazhuang City.Methods One hundred and twenty-four strains of Salmonella enteritidis isolated from morning markets of raw and poultry stalls,slaughterhouses and food poisoning specimens in Shijiazhuang area were collected.Eight virulence genes (invA,sopE,agfA,spvR,hilA,stn,pefA,shdA) were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results Salmonella enteritidis might have different virulence gene profiles.The above eight virulence genes were detected in different strains.The carrying rate of virulence genes invA,sopE,stn,hilA,spvR and pefA in the food poisoning strains was higher than 94％.There was no difference in the carrying rate of 8 virulence gene between the morning raw poultry stalls isolates and the patient strains,but was different with the slaughterhouse strains.Conclusion There were more risks of food poisoning caused by Salmonella enteritidis from morning markets,and the hygiene supervision should be strengthened to prevent and control foodborne disease.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of the microarc oxidation surface on cell morphology and cytoskeleton.

METHODSPure titanium with a diameter of 15 mm and a thickness of 1 mm was divided into four groups: grooved surfaces (group G); sandblasted surfaces (group SB); grooved microarc oxidation surfaces (group GMAO); and sandblasted microarc oxidation surfaces (group SBMAO). Osteoblast cells were cultured in each group. The morphology and proliferation of the cells on the titanium surface were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The cytoskeleton was evaluated by laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM).

RESULTSThe osteoblasts were inoculated after 12 h; these osteoblasts then spread along the surface of the titanium plate. In GMAO and SBMAO groups, the osteoblasts converged in the hole. The actin fibers in each group were clearly visible. In particular, the actin fibers in GMAO and SBMAO groups were arranged in parallel and formed bundles that extended into the holes.

CONCLUSIONAfter microarc oxidation, the titanium surface significantly affected the morphology and cytoskeleton of osteoblasts.
