Objective To observe the dynamic levels of IL-2,IL-5 and IL-6 produced by Balb/ c mice infected with DEN_2 clinical strains and to study their relation.Methods The Balb/c mouse in- feetion model was established by multiple-site subcutaneous injection with various doses of DEN_2 clini- cal strain.Mouse plasma samples collected from different experiment groups at various time after in fection were tested for IL-2,IL-5 and IL-6 levels with sandwich ELISA.Results After primary in- feeted with DEN_2 B strain,the levels of IL-2,IL-5 and IL-6 of all experimental groups were not sig- nificantly higher than the normal control group while the levels of experimental groups increased sig- nificantly after re-infection.The level of IL-2 reached to peak[average value of(101 522.44?10 465.375)pg/ml]at the 4th day after re-infection(the 20th day after the primary infection),and then the level gradually reduced.The levels of IL-5 in the Balb/c mice of the group 1 and 2 reached to peak at the 1st day after re infection(the 16th day after the primary infection),and there was signifi- cant difference between these two groups and the control group(P＜0.05).The levels of IL-6 in all experimental groups reached to peak at the 1st and the 2nd day after re-infection.The peak value of the third group is the highest comparing with the normal control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Th2 response was predominant in the second infection phase.

Objective To investigate the of 5-fluorouracil effects on the expression of Smad7,TGF-β receptorⅠ,Bcl-2 and Bax in keloid fibroblasts.Methods After primary culture of keloid fibroblasts,4-6 passages of cells were inoculated in 5 different concentrations of 5-fluorouracil(10,20,40,80,160μmol/L)for 24,48 and 72 hours.Proliferative ability of keloid fibroblasts was detected by MTT assay.Expression of Smad 7,TGF-βreceptorⅠ,Bcl-2 and Bax in keloid fibroblasts was measured by Western blot.Results During MTT,5-fluorouracil did not affect cell viability at 24 hour at the concentration of 10 and 20 μmol/L.Compared with the control group,no significant difference was detected(P＞0.05).At other concentrations,fibroblast death was visible in each group(P＜0.01).Western blot analysis showed that the expression of Smad7 significantly decreased and the expression of TGF-β receptor Ⅰ significantly increased in the TGF-β1 group compared with the blank control group(P＜0.0 1).5-fluorouracil could significantly enhance the expression of Smad7(P＜0.01).There was a remarkable decrease of the Bcl-2 expression and marked increase of the Bax expression in different concentrations of 5-fluorouracil compared with the control group(P＜0.05).But,5-fluorouracil did not show any effect on the synthesis of TGF-β receptor Ⅰ.Conclusion 5-fluorouracil could inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis on human keloid fibroblasts in vitro.

Objective To investigate the cytomegalovirus( CMV) infection in children of Wuhu City. Methods Serum samples from children n=874 were tested for CMV-IgM using commercial ELISA kits. Re-sults The CMV-IgM detective rate of serum samples from 874 children was 4. 46%. The positive rate of CMV-IgM was 4. 89%(26/531cases)and 3. 79%(13/343 cases)in boys and girls,respectively. There was no signifi-cant difference in the positive rate of CMV-IgM between boys and girls(χ2 =0. 37,P>0. 05). The positive rate peaked in children at age of >6 months~1 year(10. 19%). Clinical manifestations included liver dysfunction, neurological diseases,jaundice and pneumonia. Conclusion The positive rate of CMV-IgM in children in local district of Wuhu city is high,which should be given due attention.

Objective:BALB/C mice model infected with different Dengue Type 2 virus (DV 2) strains was evaluated and dynamic patterns of humoral immune responses caused by the various viral strains were investigated.Methods:The BALB/C mice were multisubcutaneouly injected by different DV 2 strains. The dynamic changes of the anti-DV 2 IgM/IgG antibody were observed in the infected BALB/C mice by the indrect ELISA and the viremia was observed.Results:The productions of specific antibodies in the infected BALB/C mice after primary and secondary injection with different DV 2 strains showed some difference. Howerer, BALB/C mice infected by the DV 2 B strain from a DHF patient showed the prolonged viremia.Conclusion:The dynamic curve of specific antibody and the viremia induced by various DV 2 strain (DV 2 NGC strain.V.DV 2 B strain) were different in some existence.

Objective:BALB/C mice model infected with DV2 NGC strain was evaluated and dynamic patterns of cytokines were investigated.Methods:The dynamic changes of cytokines were observed in the infected BALB/C mice model by indirect ELISA was observed.Results:The dynamic levels of IL-4、IFN-? in the plasma of BALB/C mice after primary and secondary infected DV2 NGC strain were different.The results showed that the levels of IL-4 were significantly increasing in the early primary infected BALB/C mice while that of IFN-? were lower;In secondary infection ,IL-4 reached a peak on the first day( 4294 668 ? 349 038 pg/ml) and then the levels of IFN-? were higher on the forth and eleventh day.The concentrations of the cytokines produced infectious animals had closely relationship with the doses of DV2.Conclusion:Infection eliciting a dominant humonral immune response induced a high expression of Th2-related cytokines,whereas those show some appearance of Th1 cytokines.Th1 response,as described late for the disease infected with DV2 NGC strain,played a role while it inhibited Th2 response to some extend.Thus,it was responsible to recovery.Th cell and the cytokines were critic to the DV infective diseases.

Objective To evaluate the efficiency of transcatheter closure of secundum artrial septal defect (ASD) using Amplatzer occluder device in 5 years.Methods There were 18 children with ASD.Each ASD was occluded using Amplatzer occluder device through the percutaneous procedure.The closure procedure was guided by fluoroscopy and transthoracic echocardiography.All patients were followed up by physical examination,color flow echocardiography,chest radition,electrocardiography at 48 h,1month,3 month,6 month,one year,two years,three years,four years and five years.Results Cardiac murmur disappeared or lightened.Arrhythmia and right heart volume in all patients were improved after the procedure.A case revealed a trival shunt of short duration and vanished after one month color flow echo.A case has “spring′s beat” in heart when she goes to bed in three years after the procedure.Another patient had serious headach after closure and recoved after heparin therapy.Conclusions Transcatheter closure of secundum ASD using amplatzer occluder device is safe and efficient by follow-up.In order to prevent cerebral embolism,heparin should be injected in vein in two days.

OBJECTIVETo explore effective approaches of treating elderly patients with distal tibiofibular fractures.

METHODSFrom August 2008 to October 2012,175 elderly patients with distal tibiofibular fractures were treated with locking compression plate (LCP) through anterior tibial. There were 112 males and 63 females with an average of 71.3 (ranged 60 to 83) years old. Of them,89 cases were treated by anterior tibial tension reduced incision with LCP,including 62 males and 27 females with a mean age of (71.8 +/- 6.4) years old. Eighty-six patients were treated by distal tibial incision with LCP,including 58 males and 28 females with a mean age of (70.3 +/- 6.7) years old. Swelling time, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, healing time, complications and AOFAS scores were compared between two groups after operation.

RESULTSSwelling time in anterior tension reduced incision with LCP and distal tibial incision with LCP was (5.6 +/- 1.3) and (9.7 +/- 2.1) days, healing time was (4.2 +/- 1.4) and (5.4 +/- 1.9) months,and complications were found 3 in tension reduced incision and 10 in distak tibial incision respectively;and all data shown statistically significant differences between two groups (P < 0.05). At 12 months after operation,AOFAS score was 89.0 +/- 9.7, 87.9 +/- 9.4; and there was no statistically significant difference between two groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONTension reduced incision through anterior tibial combined with locking compression plate fixation in treating elderly patients with distal tibiofibular fractures can provide good clinical effects with quick fracture healing and low complications.
