To evaluate the clinical efficacy of unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) on the treatment of children with hematologic malignancies and nonmalignancies, between August 2001 and June 2004, 32 patients were transplanted by using unrelated umbilical cord blood supplied by Shandong Umbilical Cord Blood Bank. Out of them, 13 patients suffered from ALL, 9 from AML, 3 from AA, 3 from HAL, 2 from CML and 2 from NHL. The median age was 8 years (range 2-15), the median weight was 31.5 kg (range 14-55). All patients received ablative conditioning regiment according to the disease and the disease status. Conditioning regiments Cy/TBI were used for 4 patients and Bu/Cy for 21 patients, other for 7 patients. All patients received cyclosporin A and/or methotrexate for GVHD prophylaxis. The mean number of infused nuclear cells were 5.57 (2.16-12.3) x 10(7)/kg, CD34+ cells 1.78 (0.85-5.59) x 10(5). All of UCB units were tested for HLA-A, -B, and DRB1 using low and high resolution techniques. There were HLA-matched in 10, 5/6 in 16 and 4/6 in 6. The results showed that 20 out of 32 patients achieved complete engraftment. Median time of neutrophil > or = 0.5 x 10(9)/L, and platelet > or = 20 x 10(9)/L were 17 (9-38) and 42 (18-102) days respectively. The incidence of aGVHD II-IV and aGVHD III-IV were 35% and 15% respectively. After a median follow-up of 18 months (1.5-28.5), overall survival rate at one year was 59.4%, overall survival rate at two years was 40.6%. It is suggested that UCBT is promising for children patients who is lack of matched bone marrow donors.

Objective To understand the distribution and fluctuation tendency of infected Oncomelania snails in marshland areas of Jiangsu Province in order to provide the scientific basis for acute schistosomiasis control. Methods In each county(city, district) 5-10 marshland areas with snails were sampled randomly, and of which 5-10 sites were selected. Fifty to one hundred snails were collected in each site and dissected by professionals to determine the natural infection rate. At the same time, the mollusiciding actions were carried out in the schistosome-positive snail sites and beaches. Results In 5 years, a total of 467 beaches have been checked and 102 positive beaches were find out and the snails detected. The positive rate of beaches was 21.84%(102/467). A total of 169200 snails were dissected , and of which 433 were positive snails. The natural infection rate was 0.2559%(433/169200). The infested areas and the number of positive snails in 2002 were 2.71 and 18.33 times of those in 1998 in Jiangsu Province. Conclusion In the continuous 5 years observation, the tendency of the population of positive snails and the infested areas were significantly growing, and there is a apotential threat for the acute infections. So, the keys of the following work should be controlling snails seriously in the marshlands and the rivers in connection with the Yangtze River, increasing the mollusiciding cover rate and improving the quality in the positive beaches, and surveying and treating the cattle time by time.

Objective. To study the performance of free nerve graft with vascular implantation.Material and method. Three groups of rats were used. A 10 mm nerve defect was made in the sciatic nerve. It was repaired respectively with vascularised nerve graft(VNG), free nerve graft with vascular implantation(NGV) or free nerve graft(NG). Before 30 days the revascularisation of the nerve graft was assessed;at 2 to 3 month regeneration of nerve was evaluated. Histochemical staining, vascular morphology and electrophysiological examination were undertaken.Result and conclusion. The number of regenerated blood vessels in VNG and NGV was significantly increased than that in NG before 30 days. The ratio of regenerated nerve fiber area and conduction velocity in the first two groups were much better than those in NG at 2 to 3 months.

Objective To discuss the clinical significance of petrosal vein in operation of cerebel- lopontine angle(CPA)tumor.Methods From Dec.2004 to Mar.2006,33 patients with tumor in CPA were operated,the petrosal vein were protected well in 31 cases and failed to protect in 2 cases.Results No hemorrhagic infarction observed in 31 cases with well protection of petrosal vein.Two cases with petrosal vein damage occured with vein infarction and hemorrhagic edema.One was dead and the other was recovered well after decompression of posterior cranial fossa.Conclusion Petrosal vein should be well protected in the tumor operation of CPA area,the decompression of posterior cranial fossa should be considered if petrosal vein failed to protect.

Meth-ods The data of the Second National Sample Survey of Disabled Persons in Guangdong Province was used in this study. Ranked data analysis was made with the sub-items of the social participation assessment and the main needs of the disabled individuals. Results Significantly statistical differences were revealed with regard to the constitu-ent ratio of needs for rehabilitation services among people with different degrees of difficulties in social participation caused by hearing and visual impairments as well as physical and mental disabilities. No significant difference was found in terms of the constituent ratio of rehabilitation needs among those with difficulties in speech and those with psychiatric diseases. The major rehabilitation needs focused on medical service, assistive apparatus support and functional trainings. Conclusions The rehabilitation needs were different among different categories of disabled persons. Rehabilitation services should be provided accordingly.

Objective To measure the titers of varicella live attenuated vaccines ( VarV) during the process of transportation and storage in different seasons and communities of Minhang Distract, Shang-hai, to evaluate the operation of cold chain system and the thermal stability of vaccines and to provide refer-ences for the management, introduction, research and development of vaccine in future.Methods Four communities with high outbreak rates of varicella during 2012 to 2013 and four communities with low out-break rates were randomly selected from 13 communities in Minhang District, Shanghai.The titers of VarVs were detected by using the quantitative plaque assay before and after 30 days of storage in November 2013 and February, May, August 2014.Results The overall rate of qualified VarVs was 90.63% with a geo-metric mean titer (GMT) of 3.67 (LgPFU/0.5 ml).96.88%of the VarVs produced by company C met the quality standard with a GMT of 3.89 ( LgPFU/0.5 ml) followed by those produced by company B with a rate of 91.67%and a GMT of 3.75 ( LgPFU/0.5 ml) .The rate of qualified VarVs produced by company A was the lowest, which was 80.00%, with GMT of 3.29 (LgPFU/0.5 ml).There were significant differences in the rates of qualified VarV among the three companies (χ2=8.288, P=0.016).The rate of qualified vac-cines in communities close to the Shanghai Minhang Center for Disease Control and Prevention ( Minhang CDC) was 91.67%, while 100%of the vaccine samples collected form the communities at a middling dis-tance from or far from the Minhang CDC met the quality standard.No significant difference in the rate of qualified vaccine was found among the three types of communities (χ2=3.441, P=0.179).The quarterly rates of qualified vaccines produced by B and C companies were 100%except for the third quarter.The rates of qualified vaccines produced by A, B and C companies in the third quarter were respectively 70.00%, 66.67%and 87.50%.No statistical differences in the quarterly rates of qualified vaccines were found among the three companies (χ2=1.25, P=0.7412;χ2=6.545, P=0.088; χ2=6.194, P=0.103).No statistical differences in the rates of qualified vaccines before and after 30 days of storage were found among the three companies (χ2=0.625, P=0.347;χ2=0.000, P=1.000;χ2=2.065, P=0.492).Conclusion A well-managed and-operated cold chain system was implemented in Minhang District in the storage and transport of vaccines as well as other related links.The thermal stability of vaccines produced by company C was better than those of the other two companies.A surveillance for the titers of vaccines produced by com-pany A should be strengthened.

BACKGROUND:HLA-DRB1 is related to the pathogenesis of alergic rhinitis. Construction ofHLA-DRB1 gene knockout animal models not only elucidates the pathogenesis of alergic rhinitis, but also provides a good way for the elucidation of the pathogenesis of alergic rhinitis-related diseases. OBJECTIVE:To establish the HLA-DRB1gene knockout animal models. METHODS:Homozygous, wild-type and heterozygous mice were obtained by inbreeding of the heterozygous mice. Confirmed by gene and protein identification, 24 female wild-type (H2-eb1+/+) mice and 12 H2-eb1-/-mice aged 8 weeks were selected according to the random number table. 12 H2-eb1+/+ mice and 12 H2-eb1-/- mice were sensitized with ovalbumin to establish the mouse models of alergic rhinitis. Another 12 mice were sensitized with PBS as comparison. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control mice, serum levels of ovalbumin-specific IgE and interleukin-4 were significantly increased, while serum level ofγ-interferon was significantly decreased in the mouse models of alergic rhinitis. Serum levels of IgE and interleukin-4 were lower, while serumγ- interferon level was higher, inH2-eb1-/-gene knockout mice of alergic rhinitis than those in the H2-eb1+/+ gene knockout wild-type mice. These results suggest thatH2-eb1 gene may play an important role in regulating Th1/Th2 imbalance in the pathogenesis of alergic rhinitis.
