Objective To understand the relationship between Demodex and bacteria infection in rosacea (brandy nose), and to find effective means for the treatment. MethodsCellophane tape was used to detect Demodex on the nasolabial grooves and the face; sebum and tissue on face was scraped and cultured to examine bacteria under microscope. The hospital_made anti_rosacea lotion was used on the affected part two times a day for 7 days. Results It was found that 193 (74^2%) of 260 cases with rosacea were infected by Demodex and 209 (80^4%) of the patients were infected by bacteria. The overall effective rate of the treatment for rosacea was 73^5%. Conclusion Bacteria infection in rosacea is an important factor inducing rosacea. The curative effect of the anti_rosacea lotion is good.

And then, initial charge, initial ratio of water to solid, inoculating quantity, and culture temperature impact to sporulation of Streptomyces Men-myco-93-63 were tested. The favorite cultural conditions are developed as the following: the initial charge is 15 g in 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask; initial ratio of water to solid is 1.7:1.0 (V/W, rice hull excluding), inoculating quantity is 7 mL, culture temperature is 28℃.

Objective To explore the expression of osteopontin (OPN) in mucosal epithelium of oral local lesion in patients with oral lichen planus(OLP). Methods Forty patients with pathologically-confirmed OLP (erosive OLP,n=15; reticular OLP,n=25) were investigated,among whom 17 were complicated with mild dysplasia. Mucosal epithelium of oral local lesion was examined for the expression of OPN by immunohistochemical method. Forty healthy subjects were served as normal controls. Results The positive expression rates of OPN were 65.4% and 82.4%,respectively in patients with OLP and those complicated with mild dysplasia,and both were significantly higher than that in normal controls (10.0%) (P0.05),while both were significantly higher than that in normal controls (P

Objective: To investigate the role of CD8+ T cells in the pathogenesis of acute murine colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). Methods: Wild type and CD8 knock-out (CD8-/-) mice with C57BL/6 background were given DSS with concentration of 2% (m/V). The body weight, colon length, pathological changes and disease activity of colitis were observed dynamically. The total RNA was extracted from the distal colon of mice after induction for 10 d. The mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines Il1b, Il6, Il17a, Ifng, Tnf, Il10 and Tgfb1 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Colon tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) and the changes of intestinal histopathology were evaluated, and the infiltration of CD8+ T cells in colon tissue was observed by immunofluorescence staining. The survival rate of mice was observed with 3% and 4% (m/V) DSS solution-induced colitis models. Results: After CD8-/- mice being induced by 2% DSS, the body weight decreased slowly and showed an increasing trend on the 9th day, while the pathological changes of colon tissues of CD8-/- mice were slight. The expression levels of Il1b, Il6, Il17a, Ifng and Tnf mRNA were lower than those of wild-type mice (P<0.05). The number of CD8+ T cells in colonic lamina propria of wild-type mice with 2% DSS induction was higher than that of wild-type mice without DSS treatment (P=0.001). The survival rates of wild-type mice induced by 3% and 4% DSS were 37.5% and 0, and the survival rates of CD8-/- mice were 66.7% and 100%, while the survival rates of CD8-/- mice receiving 3% and 4% DSS were higher than those of wild-type mice (P=0.025, P=0.001). Conclusion: CD8+ T cells can promote the development of murine acute DSS-induced colitis.

Objective: To investigate the regulation of autophagy by SUMO specific peptidase 3 (SENP3, normally called SUMO specific protease 3) in mouse testis. Methods: Immunofluorescence was used to detect the localization of SENP3 in spermatogenic cells and Sertoli cells of testis. Senp3 wild type (Senp3+/+) mice and Senp3 gene knockout heterozygous (Senp3+/-) mice were subjected to starvation treatment to induce autophagy. Testicular tissue proteins were extracted, and the extent of autophagy was detected by Western blotting. The extent of autophagy of Sertoli cells was detected and compared with that of spermatogenic cells in testis by transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence. Results: SENP3 mainly localized in the nucleus of Sertoli cells. Compared to Senp3+/+ mice, the extent of starvation-induced autophagy in Sertoli cells of Senp3+/- mice increased. Conclusion: SENP3 can inhibit autophagy in Sertoli cells during nutrient deficiency, which may play a role in controlling the extent of autophagy.

Objective • To compare the pregnancy outcomes between the patients undergoing single embryo transfer and double embryo transfer by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, and analyze the influencing factors. Methods • From Jan. 2011 to Jun. 2016, women who underwent single embryo transfer or double embryo transfer with in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer and successfully conceived in Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were followed up to the pregnancy outcomes. According to the number of embryo transfer, the patients were divided into single embryo transfer group and double embryo transfer group. Univariate analysis (t test, Chi-square test) and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to compare the pregnancy outcomes between two groups, and analyze the influencing factors of adverse outcomes. Results • A total of 19 030 patients (98.69%) were followed up to the pregnancy outcomes. Stratified analysis showed that there were significant differences in the composition of pregnancy outcomes (P=0.000) and the number of live births (P=0.000) between two groups. For the neonatal birth quality, the infants born by the patients with single embryo transfer had higher birth weights than those born by the patients with double embryo transfer (P=0.000), and the proportions of newborns with low birth weights and full-term newborns with low birth weights were higher among the patients with double embryo transfer compared to those with single embryo transfer (P=0.000). In addition, there was no statistically significant difference in he incidence of birth defects between the infants born by the patients with single embryo transfer and double embryo transfer. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of abortion or labor induction among the patients with double embryo transfer was higher than those with single embryo transfer with age, infertility causes and embryo type adjusted (OR=0.88, P=0.025). Conclusion • The risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes is higher among the patients with double embryo transfer than those with single embryo transfer.

OBJECTIVETo explore the characteristics of cellular immunity in drug abusers with pulmonary tuberculosis.

METHODSSixty drug abusers with pulmonary tuberculosis and 60 non-drug abusers with pulmonary tuberculosis (control) were enrolled in this study. Three days after establishment of a definite diagnosis, peripheral blood was taken from the patients for lymphocyte subgroup (CD3(+), CD3(+)/CD4(+), CD3(+)/CD8(+) T lymphocyte subgroups and NK cells) examination by flow cytometry, and the CD4(+)/CD8+(+) ratio was calculated. The difference of cellular immunity between the drug abusers and control group was analyzed statistically.

RESULTSCD3(+) and CD3(+)/CD4(+) T lymphocytes subgroups and NK cells of the drug abusers were significantly lower than those of the control patients (P=0.037, 0.028 and 0.015), and the former patients had also significantly lower CD4(+)/CD8(+) ratio (P=0.021). The pulmonary tuberculosis types and CD3(+)/CD8(+) T lymphocyte subgroup were not significant different between the two groups (P=0.053 and 0.85).

CONCLUSIONDrug abuse might depress cellular immunity in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, which further complicate the treatment of this disease.
