Objective To investigate the mycoplasma separation rate in the patient with genitourinary tract inflammation in our hospital and the in vitro sensitivity to 12 kinds of antibacterial drugs for guiding clinical rational drug use.Methods 8 546 cases of genitourinary tract specimen were collected from our hospital STD clinical department and performed the culture and the in vitro drug susceptibility test by adopting the mycoplasma culture,identification and drug susceptibility integration reagent kit.Results Among 8 546 cases of patient specimen,3237 cases were mycoplasma positive,in which 2 897 cases (89.5%)were simple Ureaplas-ma urealyticum(Uu)positive,39 cases (1.2%)were simple Mycoplasma hominis (Mh)positive and 301 cases (9.3%)were Uu and Mh positive,there was statistically significant difference between any two groups (P <0.01 );the drug susceptibility test showed that the top 3 of sensitivity rates to antibacterial drugs in 2 897 cases of Uu infection from high to low were josamycin (98.4%),doxycline (97.9%)and minomycin (97.6%),the top 3 of drug resistance rates from high to low were ciprofloxacin (71.8%),spiramycin (46.8%)and ofloxacin (35.6%).The top 3 of sensitivity rates to antibacterial drugs in 39 cases of Mh infec-tion from high to low were josamycin (96.7%),doxycline (91.2%)and minomycin(90.8%),and the top 3 of drug resistance rates were ofloxacin (68.9%),ciprofloxacin (67.8%)and roxithromycin (54.2%).The top 3 of sensitivity rates to antibacterial drugs in 301cases of Uu and Mh infection from high to low were doxycline (95.2%),minomycin (94.8%)and josamycin (92.1%),and the top 3 of drug resistance rates from high to low were ciprofloxacin (83.3%),ofloxacin (80.1%)and levofloxacin (76.3%).Conclu-sion Uu and Mh are the common pathogens of genitourinary tract infection.Mycoplasma isolated from genitourinary tract speci-mens in our hopsital is dominated by Uu,so the drugs with higher sensitivity such as josamycin,doxycycline and minocycline should be used as the first choice in the treatment of mycoplasma infection.

Objective To explore the impact of transtheoretical model on sun protection behaviors of soldiers in plateau area.Methods A total of 208 male soldiers trained in 4 200 meters altitude and medically supported by our hospital were randomly divided into the experimental group(n=104) and the control group(n=104).The experimental group received health education based on the transtheoretical model,and the control group received routine health education.Score of sun protection behaviors questionnaire,sunscreen using behavior and score of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) before and after the intervention between two groups were compared.Results Score of sun protection behaviors questionnaire in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05),sunscreen using behavior in the experimental group was better than the control group(P<0.05),score of the Dermatology Life Quality Index in the experimental group was lower than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Health education guided by the transtheoretical model can improve the plateau soldiers' sun protection behaviors,and it is an effective method of health education.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of high phosphate - stimulated calcification in vascular smooth muscle cell. Methods The cell culture of bovine aortic smooth muscle was performed. Osteocalcin (OC) mRNA expression and calcium deposition in different phosphate concentrations [normal phosphate (Pi 1. 5mmol/L), high phosphate (2.0mmol/L)] were determined by radioimmunoassay, RT-PCR, and 0-cresolphthalein complexone method respectively.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) exist in the tumor microenvironment,and can be affected by various anticancer treatments and further affect tumor progression.Increasing evidence suggests that many of the clinical antitumor measures can play a unique and effective antitumor effect by regulating the recruitment,polarization and related pro-tumor behavior of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment.Now,tumor microenvironment immune remodeling has become a hot spot in the research of anti-tumor therapy.This paper reviews the related research progress on antitumor effects of TAMs as an therapeutic target.

Serum insulin immunoassay plays an important role in the investigation of glucose metabolic disorders. Insulin assay has undergone method innovations for 50 years. Diverse insulin molecular immunogenicity and multiform biological activities, in addition to the immunoassay complexity, make serum insulin assays practically interfered by the factors such as blood sample qualities, serum anti-insulin antibodies and immunological cross-reactivity. Meanwhile, lack of standardization has imposed obstacles in the comparative studies among different reference laboratories.

Objective:To study the relationship between hyperviscosity syndrome(HVS) and platelet membrane glycoproteins(GP) sub group changes.Methods: CD62P,CD63,CD31 and CD41 were measured by flow cytometry(FCM). The hemorrheoloic parameters of HVS patients were compared with those of normal aged group and normal young group.Results:(1)The CD62P,CD63 and CD31 of aged and young HVS patients before therapy were obviously higher than those of the normal aged group and normal young group.(2)Combined measurement could improve the detecting positive rate of HVS patients up to 92% 100%, with the sensitivity being 95.3%.(3)Bamyl decreased CD62P,CD63 and CD31,which was obviously correlated with ?b and ?p. Conclusion:The alteration of platelet membrane GP positive expression may be a parameter for early diagnosis and clinical outcome observation.
