Objective To establish a convenient, fast, economic and hypersensitive low-density DNA array method to detect the genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) and evaluate its application in clinic services.Methods HPV in cervical swab samples from 355 suspected female patients collected in gynaecology and obstetrics clinic were genotyped by hybrid capture (HC) II method and low-density DNA array simultaneously. HPV in 730 clinic samples from the area of Pearl River delta were genotyped by low-density DNA array.Results Among 355 suspected samples positive HPV-DNA were detectable in 211 (59.4%) samples by DNA array and 222 (62.5%) samples by HCII method. The concordance rate between the two assays was 94.1%. In the HPV genotypes 15 high-risk type and 5 low-risk type were detected by low-density DNA array. The most common high-risk types were HPV-16, 52, 58 and 56. The peak age of HPV infection was 26-30 years. The distribution of genotypes was different from various degree of cervical changes.Conclusion Either single type or multiple type of HPV infection can be detected by low-density DNA array. The combination of HPV detection with cytology detection will provide instruction for cervical cancer screening.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between the expression changes of cytokines, interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8(IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and the wound time following explosive injury to rabbit's chest. METHODS: The rabbit's model of explosive injury was established. The expression levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-alpha in the plasma were detected by ELISA method at different wound time (0.5-12h). RESULTS: The level of IL-6 increased at 3h after wounding and reached peak at 6 h. The level of IL-8 increased at 1 h and reached peak at 6 h. The level of TNF-alpha increased at 0.5 h and reached peak at 3 h. CONCLUSION IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-alpha have a time-related expression after explosive injury.

OBJECTIVETo explore causes of shoulder pain and propose prevention measures in treating acromioclavicular joint dislocation.

METHODSFrom January 2005 to January 2013, 86 patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation (Tossy III) were treated with hook plate fixation, and were divided into two groups. Bsaed on recovery of shoulder function mostly, the patients who suffered from rest pain, motion pain were named as shoulder pain group, while the patients without pain were named as painless group. In shoulder pain group, there were 21 cases including 15 males and and 6 females ranging the age from 22 to 62 years old with an average of (40.6±11.2) years old. There were 8 cases were on the left side and 13 cases were on the right side. In painless group, there were 65 cases including 36 males and and 29 females ranging the age from 19 to 65 years old with an average of (40.0±11.3) years old. There were 33 cases were on the left side and 32 cases were on the right side. The time from injury to operation ranged from 3 h to 8 d with an average of 34.6 h. Shoulder function of all patients were normal before injuried. Postoperative pain, activity of daily living (ADL), range of motion, deltoid muscle strength were compared. Anteflexion,rear protraction, abduction and upthrow of shoulder joint were also compared. Postoperative complications between two groups were observed and compared.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 12 to 48 months with an average of 18.5 months. Constant-Murley score were used to evaluate clinical efficacy at the least following up, and 13 cases got an excellent results, 5 moderate, 2 good and 1 poor in shoulder pain group ; while 61 cases were obtained excellent results, 3 moderate and 1 good in painless group. There were significantly differences between two groups in Constant-Murley score and activity of shoulder joint (P<0.05). In shoulder pain group, 3 cases were disconnected, 1 case occurred stress fracture, 9 cases were subacromial impingement syndrome, 5 cases occurred subluxation, 1 case occurred plate breakage and 11 cases were acromioclavicular arthritis.

CONCLUSIONChosing individual clavicular hook plate, fulfilling anatomic reset, paying attention to the repair of articular capsule ligament, and reducing hook and bone antagonism between stress is the key point of preventing and decreasing postoperative shoulder pain.

Population pharmacokinetics of vancomycin (VAN) in the Chinese patients was described by using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling (NONMEM). 619 VAN serum concentrations data from 260 patients including 177 males and 83 females were collected separately from two centers. A one-compartment model was used to describe this sparse data. No significant difference was observed between two center datasets by introducing SID covariate. The final model was as CL= (θ (base0+ θ(max) x(1 -e(-θ(Age)(Age/72) and V = θ x θ (Age)(Age/72). The creatinine clearance (CL(Cr)) and Age were identified as the most significant covariate in the final model. Typical values of clearance (CL) and volume of distribution (V) in the final model were 2.91 L x h(-1) and 54.76 L, respectively. Internal model validation by Bootstrap and NPDE were performed to evaluate the robustness and prediction of the final model. The median and 95% confidence intervals for the final model parameters were based on 1000 Bootstraps. External model evaluation was conducted using an independent dataset that consisted of 34 patients to predict model performance. Pharmacodynamic assessment for VAN by AUC (0-24 h) to MIC ratios of over 400 was considered to be the best to predict treatment outcomes for patients. AUC (0-24 h) was calculated by clearance based on the above population model. The results indicate that the conventional dosing regimen probably being suboptimal concentrations in aged patients. The approach via population pharmacokinetic of VAN combined with the relationship of MIC, Age, CL(Cr) and AUC(0-24 h)/MIC can predict the rational dose for attaining efficacy.

Objective: To study relationship between exercise and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Methods: A total of 750 military cadres retired or on the job, who received convalescence therapy in Guangzhou sanatorium, were enrolled as survey subjects, and divided into exercise group（488 cases）, and no- exercise group （262 cases）. The cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose（FBS）, total cholesterol （TC）, triglyceride （TG）and uric acid were measured. Questionnaires were used to survey mode of exercise, exercise frequency, exercise duration each time and total exercise time in a day. Results: 1. In no-exercise group, levels of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, BMI, FBS, TC and TG were significantly higher than those of exercise group (P<0.05 all), but there were no significant difference in age and levels of HDL-C, LDL-C and uric acid between the two groups（P＞0.05 all）; 2. （1） Abnormal rate of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases （call for short was risk rate, similarly hereinafter）in different exercise duration each time （≥30 min、＜30 min）and exercise mode（walking, taijiquan）were no significant（P＞0.05 all）;（2）Risk rate in subjects who took exercise >60min in a day was significantly lower than that of those with ≤60min (29.41% vs. 45.59%), in subjects whose exercise intensity with RPE（Borg rating of perceived exertion scale）11~15 was significantly lower than that of with RPE <11 (33.67% vs. 44.64%), P<0.05 all;（3）Risk rate in subjects whose exercise frequency ≥3 times/week was significantly lower than that of with ＜3 times/week （31.47% vs.8.43%）, in subjects whose persistence time of exercise was 10～19 years was significantly lower than that of with ＜10 years, P<0.05 all. Conclusion: 1. Risk extent of cardiovascular diseases is lower in exercise group, and there is additive effect in risk factor for cardiovascular diseases; 2. take exercise >60min/d, Borg rating of perceived exertion scale 11~15, exercise frequency ≥3 times/week and long time persistence are conduce to decrease risk of cardiovascular diseases in middle-aged and aged persons.

Objective To determine the incidence, clinical manifestation and part of lymphokines which represent the balance of Th1 and Th2 in the role of the immunologic mechanisms for IRIS(immune restoration inflammatory syndromes)in patients initiating HAART(Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy).Methods A prospective study of all patients initiating HAART was performed. A period of six months tracking initiating HAART was performed. The incidence of IRIS, time of occurrence and clinical disease spectrum were recorded. The main T lymphokines including IL-2, INF-γ, IL-4, IL-10 which on behalf of the balance of Th1 and Th2 were detected. To explore the immunopathologic mechanisms for IRIS, the levels of T lymphokines at pre-HAART, initiating HAART for 1 month, 3months and 6 months were compared in IRIS group and non-IRIS group, healthy group. Results A total of 212 patients were enrolled in this study. 59 patients were diagnosed as IRIS at a median of 21 days after HAART initiation (QR 19 days).The main disease spectrum included tuberculosis, herpes virus infections, pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia. No matter in the IRIS group or non-IRIS group, the main lymphokines baseline of IL-2, INF-γ reduced and IL-4, IL-10 increased before HAART compared to healthy group (P ＜ 0. 05), which had the tendency to restore balance relations initiating HAART. The lymphokines levels had significant difference between baseline and 6 months initiating HAART (P ＜ 0. 05). The changed levels of lymphokines between IRIS group and non-IRIS group before HAART had significant difference compared to healthy group. IL-2, INF-γ increased level[(11.68 ± 2. 89) pg/ml vs (8.52 ±2.26) pg/ml; (22. 19 ± 6. 22) pg/ml vs (18.34 ±5. 35) pg/ml] and IL-10 decreased level [(19. 21 ± 4. 03) pg/ml vs (23. 19 ± 5.92) pg/ml] had significant difference between IRIS group and non-IRIS group initiating HAART I month(P ＜0. 05). Conclusions The incidence of IRIS during 6 months initiating HAART in HIV/AIDS was 27. 8%, IRIS usually occurred in 1 month initiating HAART. The most common disease spectrum was infectious disease, including tuberculosis and herpes virus infection. Lymphokine of Th1 and Th2 existed unbalance in IRIS group and non-IRIS group before HAART. The unbalance tendency in IRIS group was more obvious. All lymphokines had the trend to recover balance. IL-2, INF-γ significantly increased and IL-10 significantly decreased, which might involve the occurrence of the IRIS.

Background and purpose: Astrocytoma is the most common neuroepithelial neoplasm, and its grading has profound effect on its treatment and prognosis. To investigate the application of stepwise discriminant analysis in grading astrocytomas, this study developed two models of stepwise discriminant analysis according to relevant factors of astrocytoma. Methods: From January 2008 to April 2009, 111 primary astrocytoma patients were enrolled. Each patient was scored based on location, signal intensity on T1WI, signal intensity on T2WI, enhancement, edema, border, cyst or solidness, and mass effect of their magnetic resonance images. With their age score of grading, Fisher stepwise discriminant analysis and the Logistic discdminant were used. The results from the two models were then evaluated and compared. Results: According to Fisher stepwise diseriminant analysis, the predictive accuracy was 87.7% with 80.0% sensitivity, 91.5% specificity and 0.942 area of ROC curve. However, the predictive accuracy of Logistic discriminant analysis was 84.9% with 80.0% sensitivity, 86.8% specificity and 0.940 area of ROC curve. There were no statistically significant differences in terms of accuracy (P=0.250) and areas under ROC curve (Z=0.433, P=0.665) between the two models. Conclusion: Two stepwise discriminant analysis models are meaningful to predict the grading of astrocytoms, and the application of Fisher stepwise discriminant analysis is simpler than the Logistic discriminant analysis.
