Objective To investigate the infection of Chlamydia (CT) Untie urea mycoplasma (UU) and person type mycoplasma (MH) in urology outpatients clinic and sexually transmitted diseases clinic and drug resist-ance. Methods A British UNIPATH Clean View Chlamydia rapid immunoassay kits and Tianyang Zhongshan City electronic biosensor Limited production of mycoplasma culture and identification of susceptibility kit were used for the detection of secretion from 3,280 cases of non-gonococcal urethritis (GNU). Results Of 3,280 cases of GNU, only 241 cases were detected with positive CT, accounting for 7.35%, 1163 cases with simply UU positive, ac-counting for 35.46%, only 14 cases with MH positive, accounting for 0.43% ,. Overall detection rate of UU and CT was 42.77% and 11.59% respectively. 122 cases were detected with positive UU + MH, accounting for 3.72%. Female infection rate was higher than that of males (P < 0.01 ) ; UU, MH, MH + UU were more sensitive to azithremycin, Josamycin, doxycycline, roxithromycin, Minocycline. Conclusion The infection rate of urogenital mycoplasma and ehlamydia is higher and drug resistance rate is different. Azithromycin and Josamycin are the best to treat mycoplasma infection, followed by doxycycline, Pyronine Doxycycline, Minocycline.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has shown great potential in targeted therapy efficacy prediction, monitoring, high-risk population screening, differential diagnosis, minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring, and prognosis prediction. The detection of specific gene mutations in ctDNA had been included in clinical practice guidelines for certain tumors to predict the drug efficacy and monitor resistance. A small number of approved companion diagnostic reagents have been used in clinical setting. However, the clinical validity of most ctDNA-related biomarkers it still in the research stage. Besides, the establishment and validation of laboratory-developed tests (LDT) are also problems that need to be solved urgently. Therefore, for the moment, the clinical application of ctDNA analysis is like two sides of a coin, with both opportunities and challenges.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of adiponectin on angiotesin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ)-mediated cardiomyocyte apoptosis,and explore the related mechanism. Methods Cardiomyocytes isolated from neonatal rats were cultured in vitro. The identity of cardiomyocytes was confirmed by morphological examination and staining with anti-sarcomeric ?-actin antibody,and most (more than 95%) of the cells were identified as neonatal rat ventricular myocytes. After being placed in a serum-free medium for 24 hours,the ventricular myocytes were randomly grouped and received the following treatments respectively:placebo,or Ang Ⅱ (1?mol/L),or Ang Ⅱ (1?mmol/L) plus adiponectin (30mg/L). The protein levels of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blotting. The apoptotic rate and the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the ventricular myocytes were determined by flow cytometry. The survival rate of ventricular myocytes was evaluated by trypan blue staining. Results As compared with placebo group,the apoptosis of neonatal rat ventricular myocytes was significantly promoted in 1?mol/L angiotesin Ⅱ group,the survival rate of cardiomyocytes was significantly reduced,with the protein expression of Bax and the ROS level increased,and the protein expression of Bcl-2 decreased (P

This paper reports 23 cases of the large vestibular aqueduct syndrome.All cases are sensori-neural hearing loss,23.91% is moderately severe hearing loss,54.35% is severe hearing loss,and 21.74% is profound hearing loss.The contour of audiogram in high frequency dctcrioration is 74%,che flat contour of audiogram is 13%,the islanded contour audiogram is 13%.Some cases are progressive hearing loss,and the others are sudden hearing loss,two cases among whole cases were found vestibular dysfunction after examination.After high resolution CT scan in inner ear,27 ears were found pathological changes only in vestibular aqueduct enlargement,in addition to these changes,12 ears were found malformation of vestibule and semicircular canals,and 7 ears were showed cochlea malformation.It is said that the disease is caused by abnormal development on endolymphatic duct in early embryonic stage,and the principal inducement is infectious factor.There is not an effective treatment,but the better results can be reached in deaf children with residual hearing,after they wearing hearing aids and getting the auditory-verbal training in the early period of time.If the hearing aid can not reach effective hearing compensation for these patients,cochlea implantation is considered and suggested.

BACKGROUND: Natural bilogical bone-derived materials processed with physical and chemical methods possess natural network pore system. They have good cellular compatibility, and help osteoblasts attach and grow on them, and can be used as the scaffolds of osteoblasts.OBJECTIVE: To observe the osteogenetic effect of partially deproteinised decalcified bone (PDDB) as scaffolds of osteoblasts in vivo.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled trial.SETTING: Central Laboratory of the First Hospital of Kunming Medical College.MATERIALS: Partially deproteinised decalcified bone; human embryonic periosteum-derived osteoblasts; twenty 4-week-old BALB/c nude mice,with the body mass of 25 to 28 g, of either gender.METHODS: This experiment was conducted at the Central Laboratory of the First Affiliated Hospital of Kuming Medical College from January to June 2003. PDDB composited with human embryonic periostea-induced osteoblasts were implanted into the nude mice after cultured for 1 week in vivo, 4 scaffolds in each nude mouse. Composite of scalfolds and cells implanted on the left side of the spine was set as experimental side and simple implanted material on the right side of the spine was set as blank control side. Then alkaline phosphatase activity and routine histological examination were performed 4 and 8 weeks after operation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: General observation, alkaline phosphatase activity and routine histological examination were performed after the materials were taken out.RESULTS: Twenty nude mice entered the stage of result analysis. ① General observation of the implanted materials: No necrosis, ecpyesis, or fluidifying was found around the implanted materials, but ingrowth and enwrapption of soft tissues were found. ② Measurement of alkaline phosphatase activity: alkaline phosphatase activity after PDDB composited osteoblasts in vivo was stronger at week 8 than at week 4 [(22.854±6.018) nkat/g vs(11.286±4.268) nkat/g], and was much stronger than that of the simple implanted materials [(1.217±0.083) nkat/g vs (2.717±0.583) nkat/g]. ③ Results of routine histological examination: Cartilage formed at week 4 and part of cartilage formed new bone and marrow cavity at week 8 at the experimental side, cartilage and new bone formed much more as time went by, but there was no any cartilage or bone formation at the control side.CONCLUSION: Cartilage and bone form after PDDB composited with osteoblasts are implanted, and more cartilage and new bone form as time passes. PDDB can be used as the scaffolds of osteoblasts.

Objective To preliminarily investigate the feasibility of MRI-T2* map in evaluating myocardial iron load of myocardial iron overload rabbit models.Methods Eleven rabbits were included in this study and divided into two groups,myocardial iron overload group (n =10) and the control group (n =1).Iron dextrin (dose of 50 mg/kg) was injected in muscles of thigh once a week,totally 12 weeks.Serum iron test and MRI examination were performed before iron injection,and 1 week to 12 weeks after iron injection.MRI scan protocol included short axial T2* map of the left ventricle and cross-section T2* map of the liver.T2* and R2* of the heart and the liver were measured.One rabbit was killed after MRI examination at pre-iron injection,1 week to 8 weeks,11 weeks and 12 weeks after iron injection,respectively.Heart and liver were avulsed to undergo in vitro MRI scan and then paraffin embedded for pathological slices.MRI scan protocol and measurements of the heart and the liver samples were the same to that of in vivo ones.Pearson correlation was used to calculate the relationships between the parameters.Results Myocardial T2* [(32.5 ± 8.3 ms)] and R2* values [(38.4 ± 7.9) Hz] had significant correlation with injecting iron content(1 033.2 ± 673.4 mg),the Pearson coefficients were-0.799 (P =0.001) and 0.770 (P =0.002),respectively.Myocardial T2 had no significant correlation with liver T2* values (r =0.556,P =0.070).T2* values of heart and liver in vivo [(32.5 ± 8.3) ms and (8.8 ± 5.4) ms],respectively had strong correlation with those in vitro [(19.4 ± 6.5) ms and (9.8 ± 5.0) ms],respectively (r =0.757,P =0.007 and r=0.861,P=0.001).T2* and R2* values of the heart and the liver in vivo and in vitro had no significant correlations with serum iron (P ＞ 0.05).On Prussian blue staining slices,blue particles of myocardium,sinus hepaticus and hepatocyte increased with injecting iron content.Conclusions It is feasible for MRI-T2* map to evaluate the myocardial iron load noninvasively.It may provide reliable information for detecting myocardial iron overload in patients with iron overload at an early stage.
