Objective:To determine the prevalence of Salmonella paratyphi C phage ( SPC-P1 ) in dif-ferent Salmonella serovars and to identify the integration sites in host genome. Methods: Based on the complete genome of SPC-P1 in S. paratyphi C RKS4594, 6 pairs of primers were designed and used to amplify the fragments of SPC-P1 in 11 S. typhi, 11 S. paratyphi A, 12 S. paratyphi B and 23 S. para-typhi C strains. At the same time, 100 complete genomes of Salmonella including 20 serovars available in National Center for Biotechnology Information ( NCBI) database were downloaded and aligned by Mauve 2. 3. 1 to determine the prevalence of SPC-P1 in these serovars. Primers were designed according to the integration sites of SPC-P1 in the genome of RKS4594 , and used to amplify ten strains having SPC-P1 in the genome. The PCR products were sequenced to investigate the integration sites of SPC-P1. Results:SPC-P1 was widely distributed in S. paratyphi C genome. In the study, 14 strains had all 6 fragments and 2 strains had 3-5 fragments. All the amplified fragments showed expected sizes. In contrast, in the ge-nomes of S. typhi, S. paratyphi A and S. paratyphi B, no or only 1-2 fragments could be amplified, and the sizes were smaller than expected. The results from Mauve showed that only in the genome of S. choleraesuis, which was a close relative of S. paratyphi C, there existed an almost complete genome of SPC-P1. The insertion site of SPC-P1 in all the ten S. paratyphi C strains tested was between pgtE and yfdC genes. Conclusion:SPC-P1 is a unique virulence factor of S. paratyphi C. It may play roles in the host range and pathogenicity of S. paratyphi C.

Objective To study change of insulin resistance and beta-cell function of the patients in hyper-tension with normal glucose tolerance(NGT) to phthogonesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Methods 84 pa-tients with hypertension were divided into NGT group,and groups of impaired glucose tolerance(IGT) with groups of T2DM. The blood pressure, height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, high-density lipoproteins (HDL-C)and total cholesterol(TC) ,fasting plasma glucose(FPG) and fasting plasma insulin(FINS) were measured to deter-mine the body mass index(BMI) ,waist/hip ratio(WHR) ,insulin secretion function[ including Homa β-cell function index(HBCI) and fasting β-cell function index(FBCI)] and insulin resistance level [ including Homa model insulin resistance index(IR) and insulin action index(IAI)] ,statistic comparison were measured between the groups of dif-ferent glucose tolerances. Results The BMI, WHR, diastolic blood pressure ( DBP), TC in IGT group and T2DM group were bigger or higher than those in NGT group ( P<0.05, P<0.01 ), the IAI, HOMA-IS and FBCI in T2DM group were lower than those in NGT group with these in NGT group were lower than those in NGT group( P<0.05 ,P<0.01 ). The HOMA-IR in IGT group and T2DM group were higher than those in NGT group with these in T2DM group were higher than those in NGT group. Conclusion T2DM group and IGT group had more insulin resistance level,sensitivity of insulin and islet β-cell function decrease than those in IGT group,the IGT group and T2DM group are analogous at the body weight is heavier, with waist/hips ratio, triglyceride level and DBP are higher than those in the NGT group in clinic.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the changes of portal pressure gradient after selective devascularization with postoperative complications and recurrent bleeding of gastroesophageal varix in patients of portal hypertension. Methods The clinical data of 135 cases of portal hypertension undergoing selective devascularization was collected. Portal pressure gradient was measured before splenectomy and after selective devascularization, and was analyzed against postoperative complications and recurrent bleeding. Results In this study, 135 patients of portal hypertension underwent selective devascularization, two cases died during perioperative period ( 1.5% ). Postoperatively patients were divided into three groups based on PPG < 12 mm Hg after selective devascularization (62 cases), HVPG ≥ 12 mm Hg but a more than 20% of decrease off the pre-splenectomy baseline (41 cases) and HVPG ≥12 mm Hg with less than 20% of decrease from the baseline (32 cases). The postoperative complications between the three groups were of no significant difference ( P > 0. 05 ). The 1,2,3 year cumulative rate of no variceal rebleeding of the three groups were 100% vs. 100% vs. 95%; 100%vs. 97% vs. 90%; and 100% vs. 93% vs. 87% (x2 =6. 859, P = 0. 032). COX regression analysis indicated portal vein pressure gradient was an independent prognostic factor of variceal bleeding recurrence (P=0.002). 1,2,3 year cumulative survival rates of the three groups were 100% vs. 100% vs. 94%; 98% vs. 95% vs. 92%; 97% vs. 93% vs. 88%, there were no significant difference among the three groups ( x2 = 2. 917, P = 0. 233 ). Conclusions The decrease in the PPG after selective devascularization is a predictor for the risk of rebleeding but not for survival after selective devascularization.

BACKGROUND:Short-segment pedicle screw technology has been extensively used in the treatment and repair of thoracolumbar burst fractures. The technique of operative treatment through the paraspinal muscle approach has advantages such as less trauma and bleeding, and rapid recovery. However, it requires further investigations to verify the superiority of the paraspinal muscle approach of two lateral incisions near the posterior median line. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and Cobb’s angle of short-segment pedicle screw fixation through paraspinal muscle approach of two lateral incisions near the posterior median line in the treatment of thoracic and lumbar fractures. METHODS:From September 2010 to June 2012, 56 patients with thoracic and lumbar fractures were included in the retrospective study, including 42 males and14 females, with an average of 45 years (range 18-59 years). According to the surgical approach, patients were divided into two groups, traditional approach (n=25) and paraspinal muscle approach (n=31). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage and postoperative ambulant time in the two groups were observed and compared. The visual analog scale scores at 7 days, 1 month and 6 months postoperatively were recorded. The Cobb’s angles of suffered vertebra were measured preoperatively and at 7 days and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients were fol owed up after internal fixation. The paraspinal muscle approach was superior to traditional approach in the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage and postoperative ambulant time, and visual analog scale scores at 7 days and 1 month postoperatively (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative Cobb’s angle in the two groups (P>0.05). The short-segment pedicle screw fixation through paraspinal muscle approach of two lateral incisions near the posterior median line in the treatment of thoracic and lumbar fractures, is an effective and minimal y invasive treatment, with less trauma, less bleeding, rapid recovery, and simple operations. Similar to open surgery, this treatment can recover the anatomical morphology and reconstruct spinal stability, and had good biocompatibility to the host.

The real-time monitoring of cerebral hemorrhage can reduce its disability and fatality rates greatly. On the basis of magnetic induction phase shift, we in this study used filter and amplifier hardware module, NI-PXI data-acquisition system and LabVIEW software to set up an experiment system. We used Band-pass sample method and correlation phase demodulation algorithm in the system. In order to test and evaluate the performance of the system, we carried out saline simulation experiments of brain hemorrhage. We also carried out rabbit cerebral hemorrhage experiments. The results of both saline simulation and animal experiments suggested that our monitoring system had a high phase detection precision, and it needed only about 0.030 4s to finish a single phase shift measurement, and the change of phase shift was directly proportional to the volume of saline or blood. The experimental results were consistent with theory. As a result, this system has the ability of real-time monitoring the progression of cerebral hemorrhage precisely, with many distinguished features, such as low cost, high phase detection precision, high sensitivity of response so that it has showed a good application prospect.
