Objective To study the distribution and molecular characteristics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus(VP) in patients with a‐cute diarrhea ,and provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of VP infection .Methods From 2010 to 2014 ,62 VP iso‐lates were collected from patients with acute diarrhea ,for serotyping and virulence gene (tdh and tdh) detection of VP .Molecular characteristics analysis was carried out by using multi‐locus sequence typing (MLST) .Results 7 different serotypes were found from the 62 isolates .O3∶K6 was the most common serotype of VP ,accounting for 74 .19% (46 isolates) ,followed by O4∶K68 (6 isolates) .Tdh gene was the mainly virulence gene ,with a percentage of 95 .16% (59 isolates) ,only three isolates were trh positive . 7 STs were found through MLST analysis of 62 VP isolates ,among which ,ST3 was the most important type ,accounted for 85 .50%(53 isolates) .Conclusion O3∶ K6 serotype VP was the most prevalent type .Tdh gene is the most important virulence gene of WP .ST3 was the the dominant epidemic type .

Objective To observe the extent of injury in esophageal mucosa resulted from Argon plasma coagulation (APC). Methods The injuries from APC were observed in 55 sites of esophageal normal mucosa in 11 patients with esophageal cancer. APC powers in 45 W,60 W and 90 W were selected with exposure times of 1 sec and 3 sec respectively. The probe of APC was hold approximately at 30?and 2 mm from the mucosa. The histological changes of esophageal wall injured by APC were examined under light and electric microscopy. Results The injuries in 46 out of 55 sites were merely restricted in the mucosa or sub-mucosa,7 out of 55 extended into the muscularis propria.and 2 of 9 sites extended to the whole depth of e-sophageal wall. The depth of injury increased in relation with the elevating of APC power (P 0. 05). Conclusion APC is a safe way for treating esophageal diseases if its power is limited in an appropriate range.

Objective To compare the mast cells' property and the level of pelvic pain, urgency and frequency (PUF) scale in urinary bladder between interstitial cystitis (IC) patients and controls.Methods Eighteen cystoscopy biopsy specimens of interstitial cystitis patients and 12 controls were stained with 0.5% toluidine blue and immobilizated with Osmic Acid. Then the mast cells were observed and counted with light microscope and transmission electron microscope. The PUF scale and the number of mast cells between the 2 groups were compared. Results The mast cell's number of the interstitial cystitis samples(28-76 pieces/mm2) was significantly higher than that of the non IC persons' bladder tissues(7-15 pieces/mm2) (Z=3.927,P＜0.01). 75.3% mast cells were in a state of being activated degranulation. The PUF scale of IC patients( 17-35 scores)was significantly higher than that of the non IC persons' (0-8 scores) (t=14.736,P＜0.01). The PUF scale of the patient group did not have a linear IC relation with the mast cell's infiltrated number among the specimens (rs=-0.618,P=0.601). Conclusions Mast cell infiltration may be one of the characteristic pathological manifestations of IC. The association of mast cell infiltration and the PUF scale may be a new diagnosis criteria for IC.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between fragile histidine triad(FHIT) transcription abnormalities and HPV16 infection and human cervical tumorigenesis.Methods Total RNA from 5 cervical carcinoma cell lines(SiHa,HeLa,RJC-1,CS1213 and C4-1),58 primary cervical cancer specimens and 18 normal cervical epithelial tissues were extracted and FHIT transcripts were characterized by a two-step(nested) reverse transcription(RT)-PCR.The seven of the PCR products with different size were purified and sequenced.HPV16 infection was assessed by PCR.Results ① There were altered FHIT transcripts in SiHa,HeLa and C4-1 cells.Aberrant FHIT transcripts were detected in 39 out of the 58 cervical cancer samples(67.2%),but none out of 18 in the normal cervix tissue specimens(0%);HPV16 infections were identified in 37 of the 58 cervical cancer tissues(63.8%),but 1 in the 18 normal cervical epithelial tissues(5%),which showed a significant difference between these two groups(P0.05).③ The exon 5 and exon 6 were mainly deleted in the altered FHIT transcripts and no insertion and point mutation were found by DNA sequencing.Conclusion Aberrant FHIT expression was significantly common in cervical cancers and was correlated with HPV16 infection.These findings suggest that the tumor suppressor gene FHIT and high risk HPV16 may play a very important role in human cervical carcinogenesis.

Objective To evaluate the possibility of interventional therapy for avascular necrosis of the femeral head, with different curing methods, way of introduction and cultural heritages. Methods Vasodilator, thrombolytics and promoting microcirculatory drug were directly injected into the feeding arteries of the avascular necrotic femoral heads, under the condition of applying the blood stoppage belt at the root of thigh with pressure before the drug injection into the femoral pronator and extension arteries. The treatment was repeated 45 d later. Urokinase 10 5 unite/d ?10 were administrated with venous infusion ipsilaterally on the 15th day after the beginning of the therapy. Imaging features and clinical symptoms were recorded and correlatively studied before and after the treament. Results Symptoms relief especially the pain reached 100% after the treatment with various degrees of bony repair and new bone formation. Furthermore, increase caliber of feeding small arteries for femoral head and multiplicity of microvasculature, shortening of opacification time were revealed by DSA. IV stage bony change showed mild or inconspicuous. Conclusions Interventional catheterization treatment for avascular femoral head necrosis, especially the patients of fore Ⅲ stage, is safe and effective.

Objective To discuss the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in modulating immune responses in a rat renal transplantation model.Methods An in vivo trial of cytology was performed in one centre from March to December in 2008.Wistar rat donors and Lewis rat recipients in a renal transplantation model were randomly divided into 4 groups:MSCs (low dose,1 × 106 )therapy,MSCs (high dose,1 × 107) therapy,CsA monotherapy,and no therapy.Biochemistry methods were used to detect the levels of creatinine in serum.The survival time,renal grafting function and pathological changes of transplanted renal tissues were observed.Results Animal survival was significantly prolonged by MSCs (high dose) therapy and CsA monotherapy as compared with the no therapy group (both P＜0.01).Animal survival in the MSCs (low dose) therapy group was prolonged as compared with no therapy group (P＜0.01),but shortened as compared with MSCs (high dose) therapy group (P＜0.05) and CsA monotherapy group (P＜0.05).The MSCs (high dose) therapy and CsA therapy groups showed no special changes in histology,hut the control group showed acute rejection.Conclusion MSCs down-regulated immune responses,reduced production of some inflammatory mediators,preserved graft function in the initial stage after transplantation,and prolonged animal survival,and these effects were the same as those of CsA therapy with 1 × 107/day.

BACKGROUND:Immunity of fetal liver stem cel transplantation is rarely reported, syngeneic and al ogeneic fetal liver stem cel transplantation in the treatment of hepatic cirrhosis is stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the therapeutic effects of syngeneic and al ogeneic fetal liver stem cel transplantation on hepatic cirrhosis as wel as immune rejections during the therapeutic process.
METHODS:The fetal liver stem/progenitor cel s from BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice were isolated and purified by the type IV col agen enzyme digestion method. A total of 104 healthy BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to four groups. Normal control group:no treatment;Hepatic cirrhosis group, syngeneic transplantation group and al ogeneic transplantation group:16 weeks after hepatic cirrhosis models of mice were developed by intraperitoneal injection with carbon tetrachloride, physiological saline, syngeneic fetal liver stem cel s and al ogeneic fetal liver stem cel s were injected via the caudal vein. Final y, the survival statuses, liver function, hepatic fibrosis index, the number and ratio of immune cel s (CD4+T, CD8+T, NK, NKT) and histopathologic examinations were compared in each group after transplantation 4 weeks.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The survival rates in the two transplantation groups were both 100%, which was significantly higher than that in the hepatic cirrhosis group (67%, P<0.05). The liver function and liver fibrosis index in each group did not show statistical differences (P>0.05). Immunological tests showed no difference between groups (P>0.05). Pathohistology examination of hepatic tissue repair:Al ogeneic transplantation group>syngeneic transplantation group>hepatic cirrhosis group. Hence, fetal liver stem cel transplantation via the caudal vein could elevate the survival rate of hepatic cirrhosis mice, al eviate the degree of hepatocyte necrosis. There is no immunologic rejection during syngeneic and al ogeneic fetal liver stem cel transplantation that could help to treat hepatic cirrhosis in mice.

Objective To establish a stable transplantation tolerance model by combined treatment with PTD-mFoxp3 fusion protein and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and study its application to reduce the incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).Method BALB/c mice as recipients were randomly divided into four groups,accepted medical linear accelerator ray 3.0-Gy total body irradiation (TBI) before bone marrow transplantation (BMT),and injected with donor C57BL/6 mice bone marrow cells 3 × 107withinn 4-6 h.The BALB/c mice in group A were given PTD-mFoxp3 fusion protein through tail vein intermittently (day-2,0,1,3,5,7,9,11,13),those in group B given the same dose mFoxp3 protein,those in group C given normal saline,and those in blank control group given no treatment.The symptoms of GVHD were observed after BMT.Chimerisms were determined on the week 1,2,4,8 and12 post-BMT by flow cytometry.Liver and intestinal tissues were collected for pathological examination.Recipient immune response was assessed on the week 4 and 12 by mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR) after BMT.Results The chimerism level in group A was high [(38.16 ± 3.09) ％] in the first 12 weeks after BMT,and that in group B and group C was reduced [(20.12 ± 4.75) ％ and (15.72 ± 2.36) ％ respectively,P＜0.05].MLR revealed that shown lymphocyte donor-derived lymphocyte proliferation rate at 4th and 12th week in group A was significantly lower than in other groups (P＜0.05).Pathological examination showed infiltration of lymphocytes in the liver and intestine was milder in group A than in other groups.Conclusion PTD-mFoxp3 fusion protein combined with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation can effectively establish a stable transplantation chimeric model and reduce the incidence of GVHD.

Objective To compare the efficacy of lymph nodes(LNs) dissection between video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and thoracotomy in the treatment of clinical stage Ⅰ lung cancer.Methods A comprehensive search of PubMed,Ovid Medline,EMBASE,Web of Science,ScienceDirect,the Cochrane Library,Scopus database and Google Scholar was performed to identify studies comparing VATS and thoracotomy in LNs dissection.The data was analyzed by RevMan 5.3 software and SPSS 18.0.Results After selection,23 articles met the inclusion criteria.2 316 patients were involved in VATS group and 3 346 patients were involved in Open group.Meta analysis showed that less total LNs(95％ CI:-1.64--0.60,P ＜ 0.0001),totalLNsstations(95％CI:-0.61--0.01,P=0.04) andN1 LNs(95％CI:-0.28--0.02,P=0.02)were dissected in VATS group.On the left side,more LNs were dissected in VATS group(95％ CI:0.51-3.22,P =0.007).The same number of mediastinal LNs (95％ CI:-0.74-0.15,P =0.20),mediastinal LNs stations (95％ CI:-0.20-0.14,P =0.76),right side LNs (95 ％ CI:-1.52-2.23,P =0.71) were harvested in both groups.Conclusion In the surgical treatment of clinical stage Ⅰ lung cancer,less total LNs,total LNs stations and N1 LNs were dissected in VATS group,while more left side LNs were harvested by VATS.The same number of mediastinal LNs,mediastinal LNs stations right side LNs were harvested in the two groups.This conclusion still needs to be further proved by more high-quality and large-scale RCTs.
