By searching the registry information of systematic review regarding acupuncture included before March 31, 2014 in PROSPERO systematic review registry platform, information in the project plan such as care gories of diseases, interventions, research team and the completion status was analyzed to make a comprehensive understanding on registry status of acupuncture systematic review in this platform. As a result, a total of 52 project plans was finally included. The health problem concerned was mainly painrelated diseases, and the interventions were mostly simple acupuncture or combination of acupuncture and moxibustion. The registered plan participated with Chinese team appeared comparatively late, which was featured with fewer independent projects and concentrated research organization, so its scientific research advantage in acupuncture did not present. In conclusion, it is believed that the consciousness on systematic review registry in domestic researchers needs to be improved, and researchers might take good advantages of the PROSPERO platform in the future.

Objective To establish an enterovirus 71(EV71) infection model of tree shrew primary renal cells.Methods Tree shrew primary renal cells were obtained by trypsin digestion.After subculture and purification,EV71 virus was used to infect these primary cells.The culture supernatant of these EV71-infected cells was collected for virus titer detection at 1,2,4,6 and 8 days post-infection.The cells were collected for detection of EV71 VP1 protein by Western blot assay.Furthermore,the expression and location of VP1 protein in the infected cells were detected by indirect immunofluorescence assay.Vero cells were taken as positive control to evaluate the infectivity of EV71 virus to tree shrew primary renal cells.Results Morphologically,the cultured cells were proved to be majorly consisted of the primary renal cells after subculture and purification.The obtained primary cells were infected by EV71 virus.The virus titer was up to 1.3×106 TCID 50/mL during 48-96 h post-infection,proving that EV71 virus infected and proliferated in the tree shrew primary renal cells.Western blot showed that the viral VP1 protein was detected from infected primary cells at 2 to 8 d post infection.VP1 protein was also observed in the cytoplasm at 2 to 6 d post infection by indirect immunofluorescence.Compared with Vero cells,the infectivity of EV71 virus to tree shrew primary renal cells and its proliferation were confirmed.Conclusions Based on the successful establishment of cell culture of tree shrew primary renal cells,the infectivity to the obtained cells and proliferation of EV71 virus in the cells are confirmed.The model of EV71 virus-infected tree shrew primary renal cells is initially established.

Objective To classify the segmental bronchial patterns of the left upper lobe by combining three post-processing images from 64 slice spiral CT and to study how to identify different ramifications in transverse thin-section CT.Methods Totally 204 patients with routine thorax scans were enrolled.The segmental bronchi were demonstrated in terms of bronchial tree,virtual bronchoscopy and thin-section CT three post-processing images.Integrated with the three post-processing images,the segmental bronchial patterns of the left upper lobar bronchi were classified into several main types,and displayed in transverse thin-section CT.Results The segmental bronchial ramifications of the left upper lobe were classified into three types mainly:common stem of apical and posterior segmental bronchi(64%,130/200),trifurcation(23%,45/200),common stem of apical and anterior segmental bronchi(10%,21/200),and they could be identified in two typical slices of transverse thin-section CT.There were two dominating types in the left basilar segmental bronchi:bifurcation(75%,163/216),trifurcation(18%,39/216),and they could also be identified in two typical slices of transverse thin-section CT.Conclusion The segmental bronchi of the left lung can be definitely classified by three post-processing images from 64 slice spiral CT.

Objective: To investigate the expression level of antisense transcript of pseudogene, general transcription factor Ⅱi psedugen23 (GTF2IP23), in breast cancer and its effect on the host gene general transcription factor Ⅱi (GTF2I). Methods: The expressions of GTF2IP23 and GTF2I were detected in 40 cases of invasive breast cancer tumors and their counterparts by using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The effects of GTF2IP23 on the expression of GTF2I gene and cell proliferation and migration were analyzed by overexpression of GTF2IP23 in breast cancer cells. Results: The expression of GTF2IP23 mRNA in breast cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues (P<0.001), while the expression of GTF2I mRNA was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues (P=0.007). The expression of GTF2IP23 was negatively correlated with GTF2I (r=-0.335, P=0.025). The expression of GTF2IP23 in breast cancer cells was significantly higher than in normal breast cells (P<0.01), while GTF2I expression in breast cancer cells was significantly lower than that in normal breast cells (P<0.01). Overexpression of GTF2IP23 in ZR-75-30 cells significantly reduced the expression of GTF2I (P=0.034) and enhanced cell proliferation (P=0.017) and migration (P=0.026) capacity. Conclusions GTF2IP23 is distinctly upregulated in breast cancer, it inhibits the expression of real gene GTF2I and promotes the proliferation of breast cancer cells.

Objective To assess the efficacy of using reaming and antibiotic cement beads/rod for intramedullary nail associated infection.Methods Data of 12 patients with intramedullary infection of tibia or femur following intramedullary nailing from October 2014 to April 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 10 men and 2 women aged from 19 to 63 years old with an average age of 39.2 years.In 5 cases the disease was localized in the femur with one case of nonunion,and in other 7 cases the disease was localizedin the tibia with two cases of nonunion.The initial injury included closed fracture in 8 patients and open fracture in 4 patients which were all Gustilo-Anderson Ⅱ.According to the Cierny-Mader classification of adult osteomyelitis,6 cases were type Ⅰ (medullary osteomyelitis),4 cases were type Ⅰ combined with type Ⅲ (medullary.and localized osteomyelitis),and 2 cases were type Ⅰ combined with type Ⅳ (medullary and diffuse osteomyelitis).Surgical technique included removal of the intramedullary nailand reaming and irrigation of the medullary canal to remove intramedullary debris.The drainage sinus and soft tissues abscess were excised if existed.An local or enbloc resection for the infected or necrotic bone was performed if there was local or diffuse infection in the fracture sites.Ilizarov technique was performed for segment bone defect.The bone union was observed in nine patients and stable nonunion in one.Antibiotic PMMA beads were inserted into intramedullary canal for these ten cases after debridement,and the antibiotic beads were removed approximately 12-14 days after implantation.The antibiotic cement rod was inserted into the medullary canal to provide stabilization in the other 2 cases.All the patients received intravenous antibiotics systemically for three weeks,and followed by three weeks of oral antibiotics.Results At a mean follow-up period of 23.5 months (range,15-33 months),no recurrence of infection was observed.There were 3 cases of nonunions.One case of tibial nonunion had been achieved union 10 months after insertion of an antibiotic cement rod.One with stable nonunion of tibia was treated with antibiotic PMMA beads,and enbloc resection for the infected bone was performed after the extension of infection had been narrowed at the nonunion.6 cm of bone defect was treated with bone transport and then union was obtained 16 months after operation.The third case was infected nonunion in the femur with 4 cm bone defect after debridement.The femur was shortened and temporarily stabilized with the intramedullary antibiotic cement rod.The rod was removed three months after the operation,and then the femur was lengthened.The docking site and the regeneration area were healed 12 months after the lengthening operation.Conclusion The clinical results shows that reaming and antibiotic cement beads/rod appears an effective and safe alternative for management of intramedullary nail associated infection of the tibia and femur.

Objective To assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)of biliverdin reductase A (BLVRA) with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia from Fujian area.Methods A total of 286 patients with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and 250 healthy controls were enrolled.Genotypes of 5 SNPs within BLVRA gene including rs699512,rs1802846,rs7738,rs1637530 and rs2302032 were determined with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time of flight mass spectrometer.The frequencies of genotype,allele,haplotype and their differentiations were analyzed.Results All 5 SNPs had conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (all P ＞ 0.05).rs699512 and rs1637530 showed a significant difference between the 2 groups in both allelic and genotypic frequencies (all P ＜ 0.05),but no significant differences were found in the other SNPs(all P ＞ O.05).In recessive model,the frequency of rs699512 GG genotype of patients was significantly lower than that of the healthy control group(OR =0.494,95％ CI:0.276-0.886,P =0.018),while in dominant model,the frequencies of rs699512 GG + AG and rs1637530 TT + CT genotype of patients were significantly lower than that of the healthy control group(OR =0.678,0.627;95％ CI:0.482-0.954,0.444-0.885;P =0.026,0.008).Based on linkage disequilibrium analysis and haplotype construction,rs1637530,rs2302032,rs699512 and rs1802846 locus in the same area.Based on haplotype CGAT,TGGT,CTAT and CGGT had significant differences between the 2 groups (all P ＜ 0.05),and could reduce the risk of high blood bilirubin (OR =0.588,0.687,0.501;95％ CI:0.434-0.797,0.496-0.952,0.250-1.004).Conclusions rs699512 and rs1637530 may be associated with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia,A allele in rs699512 and C allele in rs1637530 may be associated with significantly increased risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
