Objective:To investigate the clinical features of ocular involvement and the application of Rose criteria in patients with relapsing polychondritis (RP).Methods:The data from RP patients with ocular involvement were collected and analyzed. Patients included must have at least one major criteria of Michet criteria and the application Rose criteria was also investigated. Demographic data of these patients was presented as percentages. The difference between types of disease onset was tested by Mann-Whitney U and comparison among groups was tested by False Discovery Rate. Results:A total of 192 patients were enrolled 98 males and 94 females. The mean age of disease onset was (42±14) (0.5-79) years old, the median disease duration (DD) was 13(0.5, 600) months. The median RP disease activity index (RPDAI) was 39(9-74) and the median RP organ damage index (RPODI) was 2.5(0.1, 108). The median RP damage index (RPDAM) was 3(1-6). The statistical significant difference was identified in median DD between groups of nose and pinna ( Z=10.775, P<0.01), nose and OEH ( Z=9.277, P<0.01), in RPODI between groups of nose and pinna ( Z=7.999, P=0.031), nose and and extra-cranial organs ( Z=8.115, P=0.030) and eye and airway involvement of RPDAM could be seen between groups ( Z=7.683, P=0.037) respectively. Ocular involvement(50.0%), auricular chondritis(21.4%) and airway chondritis(13.5%) were the top three most common symptoms at disease onset. The ocular involvement(100%), airway chondritis (75.0%) and inner ear involvement(69.3%) were the top three most frequent affected organs. All parts of eye could be involved in RP ocular damage. Single-organ involvement was 59.9%; and multi-organ involvement could be seen in 40.1% patients. Diagnostic strength was enhanced by application of Rose criteria in 171 cases fulfilled Michet criteria and 21(10.9%) cases partially fulfilled Michet criteria fulfilled Rose criteria. Active screening for organ (especially inner ear and airway) involvement would improve the rate of early diagnosis. The pinna and airway involvement suggested nose and middle-ear might be involved. Conclusion:Ocular involvement in RP can involve all parts of the eye ball. Examining the inner ear and airway may help to confirm the diagnosis. It is worthy to apply this to clinical practice.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between prolactin (PRL) cleavage and the occurrence of hypertension, heart failure (HF) in post-menopausal female patients.
Methods: A total of 216 post-menopausal female subjects were enrolled in our study and they were divided into 3 groups: Hypertension group,n=80 patients with essential hypertension, Hypertension + HF group,n=76 and Control group,n=60 post-menopausal women form regular physical examination. The full length (23 kD PRL), 16 kD PRL fragment, lipid peroxide (LPO), total antioxidant status (TAS), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), NT-proBNP, creatinine, uric acid, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and BMI were examined and compared among different groups.
Results:①There were no real differences in age, creatinine, uric acid, FBG and BMI among groups,P>0.05.②Compared with Control group, Hypertension group had increased LPO and decreased TAS; compared with Control group and Hypertension group, Hypertension + HF group had increased LPO and decreased TAS.③Compared with Control group, Hypertension + HF group showed lower level of 23KD PRL, higher level of 16KD PRL and the higher ratio of 16KD PRL/23KD PRL,P<0.05-0.01.④Pearson correlation analysis indicated that LPO was negatively related to 23KD PRL (r=-0.784,P<0.01), positively related to 16KD PRL (r=0.807, P<0.01); TAS was positively related to 23KD PRL (r=0.768, P<0.01), negatively related to 16KD PRL (r=-0.777P<0.01); 23KD PRL was positively related to LVEF (r=0.852, P<0.01), negatively related to NT-proBNP (r=-0.832P<0.01); 16KD PRL was negatively related to LVEF (r=-0.850,P<0.01), positively related to NT-proBNP (r=0.814,P<0.01).
Conclusion: PRL cleavage was highly related to the occurrence of hypertension and HF in post-menopausal female patients.

Objective To observe and study the influence degree of strengthen training for family members for the treatment compliance and unhealthy lifestyle of patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods A total of 64 patients with diabetes mellitus from January 2015 to March 2016 were selected and divided into two groups by the method of random number table,32 patients in control group were taken care with routine nursing of diabetes mellitus,32 patients in observation group were taken care with strengthen training for family members,then the treatment compliance,related knowledge cognition of unhealthy lifestyle and unhealthy lifestyle situation of two groups before the intervention and at 4th, 8th and 12th week after the intervention were compared. Results The treatment compliance, related knowledge cognition of unhealthy lifestyle and unhealthy lifestyle situation of two groups before the intervention all had no obvious differences (all P>0.05). The treatment compliance at 4th, 8th and 12th week after intervention were (6.26 ± 0.32), (6.95 ± 0.36), (7.28 ± 0.40) scores in observation group, and (5.23 ± 0.29), (6.01 ± 0.30), (6.30 ± 0.33) scores in control group, and the differences were significant (t=8.253, 9.201, 10.257, all P<0.05). The related knowledge cognition of unhealthy lifestyle at 4th, 8th and 12th week after intervention were (80.78±5.90), (89.44±6.02), (93.43±6.20) scores in observation group, and (73.38± 5.73), (77.93±5.84), (82.20±6.01) scores in control group, and the differences were significant (t=11.258,12.563, 13.324, all P<0.05 ). The unhealthy lifestyle situation at 4th, 8th and 12th week after intervention were 75.00%(24/32), 90.63%(29/32), 96.88%(31/32) in observation group, and 59.38%(19/32), 68.75%(22/32),78.13%(25/32) in control group, and the differences were significant (χ2=7.251, 7.468, 9.169, all P<0.05). Conclusions The influence of strengthen training for family members for the treatment compliance and unhealthy lifestyle of patients with diabetes mellitus are more active, so the value of strengthen training for family members of patients with diabetes mellitus is higher.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of dendritic cell(DC) infiltration and molecules expression in gastric cancer.Methods:After tumor mass was digested by enzyme and cells were seperated,anti S 100 protein antibody immunohistochemical staining and flow cytometric analysis were done in 15 cases of gastric cancer.Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT PCR)was used to detect IL 10,VEGF and TGF ? 1 mRNA expression in gastric cancer cells.Results:The number of DC in gastric cancer was just small, and correlated reversely with pathologic stages.The levels of some surface molecules expression such as MHC class Ⅱ, costimulatory molecules B7 1 and ICAM 1 in gastric cancer were negative.The number of DC and the levels of some surface molecules expression in gastric cancer were correlated reversely with pathologic stages.Levels of IL 10,VEGF and TGF ? 1 mRNA expression in gastric cancer cells were high.Conclusion:The results indicate that infiltration and surface molecules expression in gastric cancer are closely linked to tumor pathologic stages.

Duck enteritis virus (DEV) is a herpesvirus that causes an acute, contagious and fatal disease. In the present article, the DEV UL4 gene was cloned and sequenced from a vaccine virus. A degenerate oligonucleotide primer for the consensus site of herpesvirus UL3 gene and a specific primer located in UL5 were used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify a DNA product 2 086 bp in size. DNA sequence analysis revealed that a 714 bp open reading frame (ORF) of DEV encoding a 237 amino acid polypeptide is homologous to the family of herpesvirus UL4 proteins and therefore has been characterized as a DEV UL4 gene. Alignment of the DEV UL4 protein sequence with those of other alphaherpesviruses showed that 10 amino acid residues are completely conserved. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the seventeen alphaherpesviruses viruses analyzed were classified into four large groups, and the duck enteritis virus branched separately, closely related to the Mardiviruses group comprising Gallid herpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2), Gallid herpesvirus 3 (GaHV-3) and Meleagrid herpesvirus 1 (MeHV-1). The present study showed that the evolutionary relationship of the UL4 protein could be used for classification of alphaherpesviruses.

Since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, the development of China’s official de-velopment assistance for health has been going through three phases. To date, it has developed in many forms, inclu-ding the dispatch of medical team and the construction of health facilities. Since the market reforms, the global con-text together with the domestic socioeconomic foundations have changed; the impact of China’s relatively simple and segmented development assistance for health on the development of health systems in developing countries is limited;the effectiveness of assistance has been watered-down due to segmentation and vague management and accountability systems, as well as the lack of an overarching strategy;China’s health institutions, techniques and products suffer va-rious obstacles in their transfer to other countries where rules are dominated by western countries;compared with the increasing and multiple demands of development assistance for health from developing countries, the capacities of co-operation need to be further developed. As the paper suggests, use the “new major-country” and “new morality-in-terest” and“human oriented” concepts, as well as the ideology of“aid in order to develop, develop in order to coop-erate, so as to develop hand-in-hand” to guide China’s development assistance for health;innovate stereo-aid models to adapt to the changed foreign and domestic socioeconomic context; reform the development assistance for health management system and define rights and obligations appropriately;strengthen coordination and information sharing;link development assistance for health with global health governance to promote a maximized spillover effect;mobilize the civil society with strengthened guidance and supervision.
