Twenty-seven patients of limb fractures with osseous defect were selected from Department of Orthopedics in the 3rd Hospital of Hebei Medical University between April and October in 2003. They all agreed the informed consents and received emergency one-stage implantation of coralline hydroxyapatite. Postoperative restoration of limb fractures with osseous defect was investigated by using X-ray for average 186 days. Among 27 included patients, 25 ones were involved in the result analysis, and 2 ones lost. The implants and osseous tissue were not closely integrated in 1 case, were partial integrated in 2 cases, and 22 cases showed close integration. No case appeared whole or local adverse effects.

Objective To get phagc's capsid Vp3 gene and protein of guinea pig inclusion conjunctivitis (GPIC) chlamydia. Methods The genome DNA was extracted from the φCPG1 phage.The full sequence of Vp3 gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from the above genome DNA. The Vp3 gene was digested by restriction endonuclease and then inserted into prokaryotic plasmid vector pET30a (+). The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E. coil BL21, and was identified by restriction endonuclease, PCR and sequencing. The E. coil BL21 with expected recombinant plasmid was induced and the expressed recombinant Vp3 protein was identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blot, then purified by agarose gel. Results The recombinant gene was sequenced and proved to be 447 bp which was consistent with the φCPG1 Vp3 gene sequence in GenBank. A 25 000 capsid protein was expressed and confirmed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The purified protein was obtained. Conclusion The capsid Vp3 protein of φCPG1 is successfully expressed and purified, which is helpful for the further study on its mechanism and clinical applications.

Objective:To analyze the correlation factors between peripapillary duodenal diverticulum (PDD) and choledochectasia by CT scan.Methods:The clinical data of 220 patients with duodenal diverticulum detected by multi-slice spiral CT scan and confirmed by gastrointestinal angiography or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in Dahua Hospital, Xuhui District of Shanghai City were retrospectively analyzed. The correlation of the PDD, the contact of common bile duct (CBD), length of contact and exudation with choledochectasia in patients with PDD were analyzed.Results:A total of 236 duodenal diverticulum were found in 220 patients. Among them, there were 152 PDD, 41 diverticulum located superior to the duodenal papilla, 28 diverticulum located inferior to the duodenal papilla, 3 diverticulum located lateral to the duodenal papilla, and 12 diverticulumlocated in the horizontal portion. The incidence of choledochectasia in patients with PDD contacted with CBD was significantly higher than that in patients with PDD not contacted with CBD: 59.35% (73/123) vs. 37.93% (11/29), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05); the incidence of choledochectasia in patients with contact length of PDD and CBD ≥1.5 cm was significantly higher than that in patients without contact of PDD and CBD and patients with contact length of PDD and CBD <1.5 cm: 82.43% (61/74) vs. 24.49% (12/49) and 37.93% (11/29), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05); the incidence of choledochectasia in PDD patients with exudation was significantly higher than that in PDD patients without exudation: 10/11 vs. 52.48% (74/141), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The patients with contact length of PDD and CBD ≥1.5 cm and patients with PDD combined with exudation could be prone to choledochectasia.

Objective To explore the different apoptotic gene expressions and apoptotic signaling transduction of human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells infected by enterovirus 71 (EV71) in different stage.Methods The survival of EV71-infected RD cells was observed by trypan blue staining.The apoptotic morphology and rates of RD cells were surveyed and detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining and flow cytometry,respectively.PCR array was employed to analyze 88 apoptotic gene expressions from EV71-infected RD cells at 8 h and 20 h postinfection (p.i),respectively.Results After RD cells were infected with EV71 (MOI =5) at 8 h p.i,the viability was significantly decreased.Flow cytometry data demonstrated that the apoptotic rates of EV71-infected RD cells had increased to 18.0% and 19.1% at 20 h p.i in early and later stage respectively.RT-PCR array studies revealed significant variations in the expression of apoptotic genes.Among 88 genes,only the expression of IFN-β1 was upregulated 5.22 folds,whereas 47 genes including ACIN1,Akt,Apaf1,caspase and CIDEB were found to be downregulated that were lower than 2 folds at 8 h p.i.However,28 genes including FasL,CD40L,TNF,caspase-10 and caspase-3 were induced more than 2 folds after EV71 infection at 20 h.Conclusion The downregulation of apoptosis-related genes is associated with viral apoptosis-suppressing effect in RD cells in the early stage of EV71 infection.The death receptor signaling pathways including Fas/FasL and TNF/TNFR are activated to induce cell apoptosis in the late stage of EV71 infection.Moreover,host cell can also inhibit apoptosis by regulating signal pathway of CD40/CD40L,NF-κB/RelA and PI3K/Akt activation.

Teaching design is an important part of the construction of teaching contents,and it plays an important role in improving the quality of education and teaching. At present, teaching design has not received enough attention in the teaching of the physical chemistry for the Chinese pharmacy major. This study discussed the importance of the teaching design in the classroom of physical chemistry for the Chinese pharmacy major and expounded some practices of teaching design in detail, including the design of the affective attitude goals for the purpose of improving students' sense of curriculum identity and stimulating students' interest in learning, the design of "points-lines-planes" for teaching and learning based on the mind map,and the design of the ways of the classroom lead-in such as case-based learning mode.

Objective To analyze the interventional effect of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen(HFNC)therapy in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)combined with hypercapnia.Methods A total of 45 patients with stable COPD complicating with hypercapnia who require long-term oxygen therapy were selected as study subjects.They were divided into three groups based on different respiratory support modes:long-term home oxygen therapy(LTOT)group,non-invasive ventilation(NIV)group,and HFNC group,with 15 patients in each group.The general condition,blood gas index,lung function index,respiratory status,quality of life,and walking test results of the three groups were compared after discharge.Results During the follow-up period,the number of admission and acute exacerbation in the HFNC group and NIV group was lower than that in the LTOT group(P<0.05).At 6 and 12 months after discharge,the arterial partial pressure of car-bon dioxide[pa(CO2)]in the three groups was lower than before discharge,while the arterial partial pressure of oxygen[pa(O2)],pulse oxygen saturation(SpO2),forced vital capacity(FVC),and forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)were higher than before discharge.Moreover,the changes in the above indicators in the HFNC group were greater than those in the NIV group and LTOT group(P<0.05).At 1-,3-,6-,and 12-month after discharge,the scores of dyspnea scale of the modified Medical Research Council(mMRC)and the St.George's Respiratory Questionnaire(SGRQ)in the three groups gradually decreased,and the 6-minute walking distance(6MWD)grad-ually increased.Additionally,the changesin the above indicators in the HFNC group were greater than those in the NIV group and LTOT group(P<0.05).Conclusion HFNC can effectively alleviate dyspnea symptoms,improve lung function,promote the recovery of blood gas indicators,enhance quality of life and exercise tolerance,and reduce re-hospitalization rates in patients with stable COPD combined with hypercapnia.
