BACKGROUND:Oleic acid can regulate inflammation and immune responses,and has the potential to repair skin wounds.Oleic acid has a short retention time at the lesion.It is prone to self oxidation and deterioration in the air,and suitable drug carriers are needed to fully exert the therapeutic effect of oleic acid. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the efficacy of oleic acid-liposome gel in the treatment of chronic burn wounds. METHODS:Oleic acid liposome solution was prepared by thin film dispersion method,and then dissolved in Poloxamer gel matrix to prepare oleic acid-liposome gel.(1)In vitro experiment:Oleic acid-liposome gel solution was prepared by adding different volumes of oleic acid-liposome gel into cell medium(volume ratio:1:3,1:9,1:27,respectively).Alma-blue reagent was used to detect the effects of different concentrations of oleic acid-liposome gel on the proliferation of human keratinocytes and human fibroblasts.Crystal violet staining was used to observe cell morphology.(2)In vivo experiment:The animal model of chronic burn wounds was established by using full-thickness burn of SD rat back skin combined with local subcutaneous injection of epirubicin.The 30 successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into five groups with six rats in each group.The wounds of oleic acid liposome gel group,oleic acid group,liposome gel group,positive control group and negative control group were applied with gauze of oleic acid liposome gel,oleic acid,liposome gel,recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel and normal saline.The dressing was changed once every other day.A total of 16 doses were administered.The wound healing was observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In vitro experiments:Alma-blue reagent detection and crystal violet staining showed that oleic acid liposome gel solution with volume ratio of 1:9 could promote the proliferation of human keratinocytes and human fibroblasts.(2)In vivo experiment:The wound healing time of the oleic acid liposome gel group was shorter than that of the other four groups(P<0.01),and the wound healing rate at 4,8,12,16,and 20 days was higher than that of the other four groups(P<0.01).After administration,hematoxylin-eosin staining showed epithelialization and healing of wounds in all five groups,and the epidermal thickness of oleic acid liposome gel group was the closest to normal skin and better than the other four groups.Immunohistochemical staining showed that the expressions of cytokeratin 10,tumor protein 63,α-smooth muscle actin,collagen I,tumor necrosis factor α,interleukin 6,malonaldehyde,and superoxide dismutase in oleic acid liposome gel group were closest to those in normal skin,and superior to those in other four groups.On days 12 and 32 of administration,the expressions of tumor necrosis factor α,interleukin 6,malondialdehyde,and superoxide dismutase in wound homogenate supernatant in oleic acid liposome gel group were closest to those in normal skin,and superior to those in other four groups.(3)The results showed that oleic acid liposome gel could promote the proliferation of keratinocytes and fibroblasts,reduce inflammation and oxidative stress injury,and promote the healing of chronic burn wounds.

Objective:
To analyze the etiology and epidemiological characteristics of influenza in Wenzhou from 2009 to 2014, so as to provide the scientific basis for control and prevention of influenza.
Methods:
Throat swab specimens of influenza like illness (ILI) were collected from national influenza surveillance sentinel hospitals for nucleic acid detection with real-time PCR and virus isolation, culture and sequencing, and the results were analyzed with statistical methods.
Results:
During the 8 years, a total of 10 577 089 cases from outpatient and emergency department were monitored in sentinel hospitals. There were 337 896 ILI cases with an average ILI treatment rate of 3.19%. A total of 4 046 ILI samples were detected in children, 511 were positive for influenza, the positive rate was 12.63%. Among the detected influenza types, type B had the highest proportion, followed by H3N2. Among the 6 age groups, the number of flu patients was the highest in 0-3 years old group, the positive rate in 10-12 years old group was the highest (35.03%). There were 28 and 45 amino acid sequence mutations of HA fragment in influenza A and B, respectively, which included multiple mutation of 391 and 145 amino acids. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the strains of type B were different in different years, and Yamagata evolved into Y1 and Y2 two branches.
Conclusions
The prevalence peaks of influenza in children occurred in winter and spring in Wenzhou city, accompanied by small peaks in summer. Three subtypes of serotypes B, H3N2 and A(H1N1) dominated alternatively in Wenzhou during the 8 years. We should focus on strengthening the prevention and control of influenza in preschool children and primary and secondary school students.

Objective :
To investigate the pathogenic factors and clinical manifestations of contact stomatitis, and to provide references for its clinical diagnosis and prevention.
Methods:
The data of 55 subjects with contact stomatitis were analyzed retrospectively, including age, gender, pathogenic factors, type of lesions and site of occurrence.
Results:
Among the 55 patients, contact stomatitis occurred at all ages, 19 were male, 36 were female, and the ratio of males to females was 1∶1.89. Among 55 patients, 78.18% (43/55) were caused by oral mucosal contact with dental materials: amalgam fillings accounted for 52.73% (29/55), metal crowns accounted for 9.09% (5/55), removable denture plastic bases accounted for 9.09% (5/55), resin fillings accounted for 5.45% (3/55), and alginate impression materials accounted for 1.82% (1/55); 21.82% (12/55) were caused by oral mucosal contact with food and daily necessities. The clinical manifestations of contact stomatitis include lichenoid reaction, erythema and erosion. The most common site of contact stomatitis was the cheek, followed by the tongue, and the lips, and the gingival and palatal areas were relatively rare. In the buccal mucosa, the incidence of lichenoid reaction was 55% (22/40), which was higher than that of erosion (20%) and erythema (25%), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). For tongue, lip, gingiva and palate, there was no significant difference in the incidence of the three lesion types(P > 0.05).
Conclusion
Contact stomatitis occurred at all ages, and there are more female patients than males with contact stomatitis. Dental materials, especially metal and acrylic materials (such as the plastic base of removable dentures, resin fillings, adhesives, and self-setting plastics), are the main pathogenic factors. In buccal mucosa, the incidence of lichenoid reaction is higher.
