Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of joints,bone and cartilage erosion,synovial hyperplasia,and the pathogenesis of RA is not clear.γδT cells are a new kind of phenotype and function T lymphocyte subsets,which mainly distribute in the mucosal and epithelial tissue and account for 1％-10％ of the total T cells in the peripheral blood,and bridge innate and adaptive immunity.γδT cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of RA by the functions of antigen-presenting capacity,secretion of proinflammatory cytokines,immunomodulatory effects,and auxiliary function for B cells.

The malignant tumor of bone and soft tissue is conventional rays(X,γrays)resistant. The heavy ion rays 12C+ have following characteristics: high linear energy transfer, Bragg peak, small scattering, high biological effect, lethal damage to tumor cell, and double-strand break to the DNA. Therefore, heavy ion rays Call allow tumor target area obtain high radiation doses while surrounding normal tissues get best protection Recent progress of basic and clinical research on heavy ion treating malignant tumor of bone and soft tissue is discussed.

Objective To evaluate the effects of induction chemotherapy plus radiotherapy (ICRT) and concurrent chemotherapy plus radiotherapy (CCRT) for Stage Ⅱ -Ⅲ non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) . Methods From July 19% to July 1999, 64 patients with Stage Ⅱ -Ⅲ NSCLC were randomized into two groups: ICRT group (32 patients) induction chemotherapy with DDP( 100mg/m2,dl) and VP-16 (100mg/m2,dl-d3) per week, one cycle per 4 weeks was given. Radiation was given after 2-3 cycles. CCRT group (32 patients) received radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy with DDP(20 mg/m2,dl-d5) and VP-16 (50 mg/m2,dl-d5) per week for 8 weeks. In either group, radiation was given with a total dose of 60-70 Gy/6-7 weeks. Results One patient was excluded from ICRT group for development of distant metastasis, and 3 from CCRT group for their acute complications or other diseases. The overall response rates ( CR + PR) of ICRT and CCRT groups were 81.3% and 84.4%, respectively . NR + PD rates of both groups were 18.7% and 15.6% . The median survival periods were 13.4 months in ICRT group and 21.6 months in CCRT group (t = 2.58, P

Objective Through investigating the clinical and laboratory characteristics of Kawasaki disease (KD) in infants younger than 12 months in order to improve the accuracy of early diagnosis of KD and decrease the risk of coronary artery lesion (CAL).Methods Clinical manifestations,diagnosis and treatment of total 106 patients younger than 12 months with KD hospitalized in Chengdu Women and Children's Central Hospital from Jan.2006 to Jan.2014 were reviewed.Results (1) Among 106 cases,72 cases were male and 34 cases were female,the ratio of male to female was 2.1:1.0.The age varied from 2 months to 12 months,and the average age was (8.4 ± 2.7) months.Twenty-eight cases were younger than 6 months,78 cases were within 6 months to 12 months.(2)KD scattered the whole year and occurred more frequently in spring and summer.The average duration of fever before final diagnosis was (8.0 ±3.5) days.The major clinical manifestation were erythema and cracking of lips (77.4％,82/106 cases),rash (73.6％,78/106 cases),eye conjunctival hyperemia (70.8％,75/106 cases),changes in extremities (59.4％,63/ 106 cases),strawberry tongue (48.1％,51/106 cases),cervical lymphadenopathy (40.6％,43/106 cases),respectively.Among 106 cases,33 cases (31.1％) were diagnosed as incomplete KD (IKD),86 cases (78.9％) accompanied with one or more than one systematic or organic lesion,33 cases (31.1％) were misdiagnosed before the final diagnosis of KD,32 cases (30.2％) accompanied with CAL.Ninety-five point nine percent(94/98 cases) were sensitive to the first dose of intravenous immunogloblin (IVIG) therapy.(3)Compared with the infants of KD older than 6 months,the infants younger than 6 months had longer fever duration before the final diagnosis,higher prevalence of IKD,higher incidence of gastrointestinal involvement and anemia,higher white blood count,lower haemoglobin and albumin values,higher incidence of CAL and coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) (all P ＜ 0.05).IVIG treatment response for both groups was sensitive (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions (1) Infants KD,especially younger than 6 months old had higher rate of IKD,often accompanied with other organic lesion,and were easily to be misdiagnosed and missed diagnosis.Most infants KD were sensitive to the first dose of IVIG therapy.(2) Infants of KD younger than 6 months old were more prone to suffer from CAL and CAA.(3) To avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of infants KD,cardiac ultrasonography is important for those who have unexplained fever over 5 days and were not sensitive to the treatment,especially the male.

Objectives To explore the clinical features and pathological types of childhood Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura ne-phritis (HSPN)with proteinuria. Methods Clinical and pathological data of 180 children with HSPN presenting with proteinuria were retrospectively analyzed in groups according to 24-hour urinary protein levels. Results The moderate proteinuria (57 cases, 31.7%) was the most common clinical type, followed by high-grade proteinuria (51 cases, 28.3%), mild proteinuria (46 cases, 25.6%) and microalbuminuria (26 cases, 14.4%). According to the International Study of Kidney Disease of Children , the major pathological type of HSPN are grade II (92 cases, 51.1%) and grade III (73 cases, 40.6%). The main pathological changes of moderate proteinuria were grade II (31 cases, 54.4%), and the main pathological changes of high-grade proteinuria were grade III (33 case, 64.7%). The pathological grade was progressively increased along with severity of proteinuria. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=39.54, P=0.002). The main immunopathological type was IgA+IgM (84 cases, 46.7%), followed by IgA+IgM+IgG (55 cases, 30.6%). No correlation was found among immunopathological typing, pathological typing and clinical typing (P>0.05). Conclusions The HSPN children with massive proteinuria show more severe pathological changes, but the se-verity of clinical symptoms is not completely consistent with the pathological damages.

Objective To understand the prevalence and risk factors of agricultural activities related injuries among rural residents in Shandong province. Methods A retrospective investigation was conducted among agricultural profession-related workers in 20 villages with multistage cluster sampling method in Shandong province. Four times face-to-face interview were conducted by trained interviewers, including 32 students and local medical personnel under constructed questionnaires.Accidental injuries occurred in the activities or in the agricultural profession-related jobs were recorded, from May 1st 2009 to April 30st 2010. Data was input and analyzed by SPSS 13.0 statistical software. Results A total of 837 cases reported at least 1 job-related injury out of the 11 902 people who had been surveyed in one year. The crude incidence rate was 7.03% and the standardized incidence rate was 7.36%, higher in males (9.01%) than in females (4.10%), X2= 105.53, P=0.000.Children and adolescents (≤ 14 aged) had the higher incidence rate (9.50%), X2=9.70, P=0.008.People working in the area of commercial service related to agricultural products had the highest incidence rate (12.94%). In particular, those occupations that related to agricultural construction or materials appeared to have had higher incidence rates as 16.80% and 15.59% respectively, than other kinds of jobs (X2= 167.30, P=0.000). There were higher proportion of injuries occurred in the roads (28.79%), in the fields(28.08%) during labor work(38.00%) transportation(27.97%), respectively.The seasonality of agricultural injures mostly occurred between June and August, accounted for 47.43%. Major external causes related to injuries were instruments or tools (31.42%) being used,transportation (24.13%) and falls (20.19%). Wounds on limbs took the majority (56.39%). The accidental self-inflicted injury occupied 76.82%, while accidents to passive injuries occupied 11.47%,other kinds accounted for 11.71%. Most of the accidents caused mild or moderate damage, accounted for 60.22% and 30.34% respectively. 7 cases died of injuries, with the fatality rate as 0.84% and the mortality rate was 58.81 per one hundred thousand. 72 cases ended up in disability caused by injuries,with the morbidity rate as 6.05 per thousand. Answers to the major internal causes of injuries appeared to be: "did not know how to protect oneself" (29.87%) with females (45.41%) in particular,followed by "over fatigue" and "inappropriate treatment" which took the 2nd place in males. Major natural environmental factors of injuries would relate to "high air temperature and humidity but lower wind velocity"(14.93%), "unclear signs on the country road"(12.19%), "the sky was cloudy or dark"(10.87%), "slippery road caused by rain or snow" (10.51%), "kids were unintended" (10.27%) etc.Most of the wounded received treatment clinically (50.18%), with the percentile (P50) of medical cost as 182.76 RMB (Yuan). The proportion of inpatient was 27.72% and with percentile of time as P50=7.57 day and cost as P50=2840.00 RMB Yuan. The wounded had a rest of P50=5.9 days, with an indirect cost as P50=233.16 RMB Yuan. Conclusion The results of this study indicated that the incidence of agricultural profession-related injuries was high, with serious harm. Behavioral intervention and awareness of injuries should be enhanced, together with the improvement of environmental condition.

Background Diabetic macular edema (DME) is one of serious ocular complications of diabetes mellitus and is often treated by laser photocoagulation,peribulbar injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) and intravitreal injection of ranibizumab.However,some adverse responses occur in each approach.To seek a safe,effective and ecnomic therapy for DME is of clinical significance.Objective This study was to observe the safety and efficacy of post-sclera injection of TA with a self-made innovative device for DME and compare the outcome with peribulbar injection of TA and the intravitreal injection of ranibizumab.Methods A prospective non-randomized controlled study was performed.This study protocol was approved by Ethic Committee of Southwest Hospital of Third Military Medical University and complied with Helsinki declaration.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before any medical treatment.Sixty eyes of 60 patients with DME were included in Southwest Hospital of Third Military Medical University from March 2013 to July 2016.The eyes were divided into post-sclera injection group,peribulbar injection group and intravitreal injection group,with 20 eyes for each group.TA at the dose of 20 mg was injected via posterior sclera with a self-made divice in the post-sclera injection group and via periphery of eyeball in the peribulbar injection group,and 0.5 mg ranibizumab was intravitreally injected in the intravitreal injection group.Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was examined and retinal thickness at macular area was measured by OCT in 1 month and 3 months after injection respectively.The outcome and complication were grouply compared.Results The BCVA was significantly improved 1 month and 3 months after injection in comparison with before injection in the post-sclera injection group and intravitreal injection group,and BCVA in the post-sclera injection group and intravitreal injection group was superior to that in the peribulbar injection group (all at P =0.000).No significant difference was found in post-injected BCVA between post-sclera injection group and intravitreal injection group (P =0.244,0.397).Retinal edema at macular area was gradually disappeared in the post-sclera injection group and intravitreal injection group and that in the peribulbar injection group was still visible after injection.The retinal thickness at macula was (321.85±31.98),(382.75±39.28) and (315.75 ± 40.43) μm at 1 month and was (311.95±32.73),(393.65±33.84) and (302.65±38.99) μm at 3 months after injection in the post-sclera injection group,peribulbar injection group and intravitreal injection group respectively,and the retinal thickness values at macula in the post-sclera injection group and intravitreal injection group were significantly lower than those in the peribulbar injection group (all at P =0.000).The decrease rate of retinal thickness was higher in the post-sclera injection group and intravitreal injection group than that in the peribulbar injection group at various time points after injection (all at P＜0.01).Conclusions The efficacy and safety of post-sclera injection of TA for DME are similar to intravitreal injection of ranibizumab,which are superior to peribulbar injection of TA.
