Objective To repair the experimental femoral head necrosis with the implantation of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) loaded with human bone morphogenetic protein-2(hBMP-2) gene transfected bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs). Methods Established the animal models of femoral head necrosis in 22 goats by the ligation of the lateral and medial circumflex femoral arteries and delivery of liquid nitrogen into femoral head. 4 goats served as the control group without any treatment. 3 weeks after surgery, necrotic bone in the other 18 goats were removed and TCP loaded gene transfer cells were implanted into the femoral head with BMP-2 gene transfected BMSCs in right side and ?-gal gene transfected BMSCs in left side. BMP-2 concentrations in femoral head were tested by the ELISA at 1st, 2nd, 3rd week after implantation. Histological observation was done before and at 6th, 10th, 16th week after implantation. New bone volumes (NBV) were measured at 16th week after implantation by the histomorphometry method. X-ray was taken at 16th week after operation in untreated group and after treatment in BMP-2 group and ?-gal group. Results The concentration of BMP-2 in femoral head of BMP-2 group was higher than that of ?-gal group at different time point. Empty lacunae and fibrotic marrow were demonstrated before implantation. New bone was evident in the implantation field of BMP-2 group while fibrous tissues were evident in that of ?-gal group at 6th, 10th and 16th week after treatment. Histomorphology analysis indicated that the NBV in BMP-2 group was significantly higher than that in ?-gal group. Articular surface collapse were observed in the X-ray photograph of untreated group. Regular shape and normal density of femoral head in BMP-2 group compared with the irregular shape and low density of femoral head in ?-gal group could be demonstrated in the X-ray photograph 16 weeks after treatment. Conclusion Implantation of the TCP loaded with human BMP-2 gene transfected BMSCs could repair early-stage experimental femoral head necrosis.

Objective To establish a new T staging system for nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( NPC) based on magnetic resonances imaging ( MRI) and intensity?modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT) . Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 608 patients who were newly diagnosed with non?metastatic NPC by MRI and treated with IMRT in our hospital from 2008 to 2010. All patients were staged according to the 7th edition of the UICC/AJCC staging system for NPC. The survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan?Meier method and analyzed using the log?rank test. The Cox regression model was used for multivariate analyses. To deal with the deficiency in the current UICC/AJCC staging system, a new T staging system for NPC was established and systematically evaluated. Results The 5?year follow?up rate was 94?5%. The 5?year overall survival (OS), disease?free survival, local relapse?free survival (LRFS), and distant metastasis?free survival rates were 81?5%, 80?1%, 86?0%, and 81?1%, respectively. The univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the anatomic structures of nasopharynx, parapharyngeal space, and skull base were influencing factors for the OS rate (P=0?000?0?045). New T staging criteria were proposed based on the risk differences and survival curves:stage T1:invasion of the nasopharynx, parapharyngeal space, oropharynx, nasal cavity, skull base, and internal pterygoid muscle;stage T2:invasion of the external pterygoid muscle, paranasal sinus, intracalvarium, infratemporal fossa, and cranial nerves. The proposed T staging system achieved a good separation in both OS and LRFS curves. Conclusions The proposed new T staging system gives an objective prognostic prediction in patients with NPC, which provides an exploratory attempt toward a new clinical staging system for NPC.

Objective:
To investigate the level and timeliness of CD4+T lymphocyte cell (CD4 cell) counts at first measurement among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province from 2012 to 2021, so as to provide insights into improving the management of HIV/AIDS cases.
Methods:
Demographic data and first measurement of CD4 cell counts of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Taizhou City from 2012 to 2021 were collected from the HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Control System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The level and time of CD4 cell counts at first measurement were descriptively analyzed, and factors affecting CD4 cell counts at first measurement were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 4 834 newly reported HIV/AIDS cases were recorded in Taizhou City from 2012 to 2021, including 3 889 men (80.45%), 2 005 cases at ages of 20 to 39 years (41.48%), and 2 130 farmers (44.06%). There were 1 664 cases (34.42%) with CD4 cell counts of <200/mm3 at first detection, 2 576 (53.29%) with CD4 cell counts of 200/mm3 to 499/mm3, and 594 (12.29%) with CD4 cell counts of ≥500/mm3. The proportion of CD4 cell counts of <200/mm3 showed a tendency towards a rise from 2012 to 2021 (χ2trend =4.250, P<0.001). There were 3 465 cases (71.68%) that had an interval of ≤14 days between the first detection of CD4 cell counts and confirmatory HIV test, 740 (15.31%) that had an interval of >14 to 30 days, 315 (6.52%) that had an interval of >30 to 90 days, 135 (2.79%) that had an interval of >90 to 180 days, and 179 (3.70%) that had an interval of >180 days. The proportion of an interval of ≤14 days appeared a tendency towards a rise from 2012 to 2021 (χ2trend=6.874, P<0.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified women (OR=0.630, 95%CI: 0.529-0.751), age of ≥20 years (OR: 1.958 to 3.218, 95%CI: 1.216-5.412), other or unknown routes of HIV infection (OR=1.785, 95%CI: 1.100-2.896), and identification by medical institutions (OR=1.779, 95%CI: 1.497-2.114) as factors affecting CD4 cell counts of <200/mm3 at first measurement.
Conclusions
The timely detection of CD4 cell counts at first measurement gradually increased with year among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Taizhou City from 2012 to 2021; however, there were still 34.42% of cases with CD4 cell counts of <200/mm3. Gender, age, route of HIV infection, and sample source were factors affecting CD4 cell counts of <200/mm3 at first measurement.
