Objective To study the risk factors related to early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with recurrent cerebral infarction (RCI). Methods Three hundreds and twenty-six RCI patients admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to March 2015 were divided into END group (n = 66) and non-END group (n =260). The clinical and laboratory data were collected, and their cerebrovascular lesions were accessed according to the angiographic findings. Results (1) Single factor analysis showed the level of cholesterol was significantly higher in the END group than that of the non-END group (P < 0.05). The proportion of patients suffering from smoking, arterial occlusions, early onset stroke associated pneumonia (SAP) and hyponatremia was also higher in the END group (all P < 0.05). (2) Logistic regression analysis showed that arterial occlusions (OR = 2.137, 95%CI 1.093~4.181), SAP (OR=2.001, 95%CI 1.023~3.912) and hyponetremia (OR=2.467, 95%CI 1.217~ 5.000) were independent risk factors for END of RCI patients (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Arterial occlusions, SAP and hyponatremia may be used as predictors of the early development of RCI patients.

Objective:To investigate the effects of recombinant human interluekin-1 receptor antogonist (rhIL-1Ra) on the cartilage repair in rat temporomandibular joint(TMJ) with osteoarthritis(OA).Methods:Collagenase-Ⅱ was injected into bilateral TMJs of 24 adult rats for the induction of bilateral TMJOA,1 week after injection,5μg rhIL-1Ra(diluted in 0.05 ml normal saline) was injected into each right TMJ and the left joint received the same amount of normal saline injection as the control.12 animals were sacrificed at 2and 4 weeks after the first injection respectively.HE staining,immunnohistochemical method and RT-PCR examination were conducted.Mankins scere was used to evaluate the TMJOA degree.1 adult SD rat was used as healthy control,and sacrificed at 2 weeks of the experiment.Results:The TMJs of both sides showed typical OA-related cartilage degradation 2 week after IL-1Ra treatment,the Mankin~ score of the IL-1Ra treated and control joints was 1.33±0.52 and 2.00±6.63 (P＞0.05),4 week after treatment that was 3.00± 0.63 and 6.50 ± 0.84 (P＜0.05),respectively.Lower expression of ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5 was observed in the treated joints than in the controls (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Intra-articular injection of IL-1Ra into TMJ can alleviate the cartilage lesion,the mechanism may lie in the inhibition of the expression of ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5.

Objective To investigate the CT features of the central nervous system in congenital syphilis infant. Methods CT findings of central nervous system in 11 infants with clinically proved congenital syphilis were analyzed retrospectively. Results CT findings in 10 syphilis neonates were diffuse hypodense lesions in the white matter, with subarachnoid and intra-encephalic hemorrhage in 3 and 1 cases, respectively. One 2-month-old syphilis infant case and 5 cases of follow-up after 45 days to 6 months of treatment demonstrated bilateral widened sulci and cistern with enlarged ventricles in 3 of them. Conclusion CT findings of the central nervous system in congenital syphilis infant are similar to those of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in neonates, and extra-encephalic hydrocephalus or brain hypogenesis ensues later on.

Ohjective To approach the therapeutic methods of urinary fistula after hypospadias urethroplas- ty.Methods Forteen post-hypospadia repair urethral fistula managed between 2000 to 2005 were reviewed.Differ- ent procedures were carried out according to the size and location of orificium fistulae.Results Eleven repairs were successful after one attempt.The success rate was 78% (11/14).Conclusion The procedure of fistula repair should be chosen according to the size,location and regional condition of orificium fistulae.

Objective:To provide policy recommendations for Beijing public health departments to grasp the dy-namic allocation of healthcare resources and the advantage of medical functional dispersal, and making appropriate health policies to rationally adjust the allocation of health resources. Methods:To study the dynamic function of Bei-jing medical, this study uses the method of accounting of cases summary of the annual report on health finance through the descriptive analysis of the gross fixed capital formation in various regional government-run health facili-ties. Results:The results of this study show that the quality of medical health administrative resources was higher, but effectively dispersed in 2015. By contrast, the basic public health resources allocation was unbalanced. Conclu-sion:This study puts forward the corresponding health policy suggestions. On one hand, it is important to make fur-ther policy to encourage high quality medical resources to be effectively relieved and the regional planning should be done according to market demand by avoiding the blind construction at the early stages. On the other hand, much at-tention should be paid on the balanced development of the basic public health service ability and the coordinated de-velopment of administrative capacity in health, and supporting policies should be formulated, which should rationally allocate the public health resources for a better overall medical functional dispersal.

Objective To investigate the association between the Adiponectin rs266729 and rs2241766 gene polymorphisms and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the Han Chinese population residing in Qingdao. Methods Adiponectin rs266729 and rs2241766 gene polymorphisms were genotyped in patients with NAFLD (n = 336) and healthy controls (n = 280) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Serum lipid profiles and adiponectin levels were determined using biochemical methods. Statistical analyses were performed using Pearson Chi square test, logistic regression analysis, t test, linear regression analysis. Results We found a significant association between the Adiponectin rs266729 genotype frequencies and allele frequencies between NAFLD pa-tients and controls (χ2= 9.929, P = 0.007; χ2= 9.809, P = 0.002). After adjustment of confounding factor, the rs266729 G allele was associated with an increased risk of NAFLD compared to the C allele (OR = 1.410, 95%CI: 1.082-1.831, P = 0.008) No significant differences were found in the rs2241766 genotype frequencies and allele frequencies between NAFLD population and the controls (OR = 1.410, 95%CI: 1.082-1.831, P = 0.008). Conclusion The Han Chinese in Qingdao carrying the rs266729 G allele are at increased risk of NAFLD.

Objective To study the influence of progesterone on the cell proliferation of hormone?dependent breast cancer and observe the co?effect of vitamin D and progesterone of different levels on the proliferation of the cell line T?47D in hormone?dependent breast cancer and the interaction be?tween vitamin D and progesterone. Methods The cultured T?47D cells were divided into the high and the low progesterone mono?treated groups to observe the effects of different levels of progesterone on the cell proliferation of hormone?dependent breast cancer cell line(T?47D). The high and the low vitamin D mono?treated groups were set to observe the effects of different levels of vitamin D on the cell proliferation. Groups treated by differ?ent levels of progesterone combined with vitamin D were set to observe the interaction between them. Normal breast cancer cells were set as the con?trol group. The two?factor two?level parallel factorial experiment was conducted to observe the co?effect of different levels of progesterone and vitamin D on the proliferation of T?47D. The growth and apoptosis of cells was observed through detection of absorbance in each group by MTT. Results The cell concentration in high and low progesterone treated groups was increased than that in the control group,and was increased in the low proges?terone treated group compared with the high progesterone treated group(P<0.05). The cell concentration in dual?low level treated group was de?creased than that in the other three groups which were two?factor treated and the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Progesterone stimulates the cell proliferation of hormone?dependent breast cancer. The concentration?based interaction between vitamin D and progesterone indicates that the bi?directional effect of progesterone on breast cancer cells may be related to the concentration of progesterone and other factors,but the specific interac?tion and the mechanism is unclear.

For attracting more social charity funding into the health field, in-depth interviews are conducted into four health foundations in Beijing, presenting three aspects of existing problems and obstacles in the foundations devel-opment in this article. Firstly, the foundations have low effect in fundraising, poor information publication, little com-munication between other facilities and vague mechanism in donation. Secondly, the social public has erroneous views leading to deviant behavior. Finally, some annual inspection standards of the foundation are not suitable for the health field. Based on the above analysis, suggestions about how to improve transparency and fundraising ability in foundations and change the public erroneous views in donation are proposed. The governments might be suggested to get more relax-ed on the annual inspection standards of the foundations, and build an information platform in healthcare field as well.
