Objective To investigate the association between systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) and polymorphism of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 gene(CTLA-4) and the effect on ANA and anti-dsDNA antibody.Methods The A/G substitution was investigated in the exon 1 position 49 in 92 SLE patients and 60 controls by PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP).ANA and anti-dsDNA antibody were examined by indirect fluorescence immunoassay.Results SLE patients had significantly higher frequencies of the CTLA-4+49GG allele than controls(P

Objective To understand the types and risk factors of human papillomavirus (HPV ) infection among the patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in Chongqing to provide a scientific basis for prevention and treatment of cervical cancer . Methods The patients with TCT screening in many hospital of Chongqing from June 2012 to December 2013 were selected and performed the HPV typing ,9 328 cases succeeded in HPV typing .The main types of HPV infection in different grades of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia were statistically analyzed for determining the risk factors .Results HPV16 was the most common infection type among patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in Chongqing area ,followed by HPV52 ,58 ,33 ,18 .Some factors such as multiple sex partners ,young female with sexual debut and induced abortion were the risk factors of HPV infection .Conclusion Single and high-risk type is the main feature of HPV infection among the patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in Chongqing .The infection rate is higher with the higher grade of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia .Publicity and education for risk factors of HPV infection should be strengthened ,which will help to prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer .

Objective To investigate the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3[1,25(OH)2D3] on regulatory T cells(CD4+CD25+ Foxp3+ T cell)and airway inflammation in asthmatic rats. Methods Asthmatic models were established in 28 rats with ovalbumin as sensitinogen,and four groups were randomly divided(n=7).1,25(OH)2D3 was orally administered 1 h before challenge in treatment group 1,dexamethasone was subcutaneously injected 1 h before challenge in treatment group 2,both 1,25(OH)2D3 and dexamethasone were given 1 h before challenge in treatment group 3,while no medicine was administered 1 h before challenge in group 4(asthmatic control group).The levels of IL-4 and IL-10 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were detected,the total cell numbers were obtained and the eosinophil count was performed.The ratios of Treg to CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood and spleen mononuclear cells were measured with flow cytometry,and the mRNA expression of IL-10 and Foxp3 in lung tissues was detected.Wistar rats without asthma were served as normal controls(n=7). Results There were significant differences between asthmatic control group and normal control group in each parameter.Compared with asthmatic control group,the total cell number and eosinophil count decreased,the level of IL-4 decreased and the level of IL-10 increased in BALF in treatment groups.The ratios of Treg to CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood and spleen mononuclear cells significantly increased,and the mRNA expression of IL-10 and Foxp3 in lung tissues increased in treatment groups compared with asthmatic control group.There was no significant difference between treatment groups and normal control group in each parameter. Conclusion Administration of 1,25(OH)2D3 increases the proportion of Treg and expression of Foxp3 mRNA in peripheral blood and spleen in asthmatic rats.1,25(OH)2D3 has a regulatory effect on Treg,and may serve as a potential therapeutic approach against asthma.

Objective To investigate the effect of positive airway pressure on catheterization of right internal jugular vein (IJV) in anesthetized patients. Methods One hundred and twenty-five ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 19-64 yr weighing 44-85 kg undergoing right IJV catheterization were randomly divided into 2 groups: control group (group C, n = 60) and positive airway pressure group (group P, n = 65). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, sufentanil and etomidate. Tracheal intubation was facilitated with vecuronium. The patients were mechanically ventilated. Right IJV was catheterized under the guidance of ultrasound and was punctured at the plane of cricoid cartilage. IJV catheterization was performed when mechanical ventilation was suspended in group C and when airway pressure was maintained at 20 cm H2O in group P. The cross section area of right IJV, CVP, the shortest dislance between right IJV and the skin and the depth of needle insertion were measured. The number of attempts to puncture the vein was calculated and the easiness of withdrawing blood from the right IJV after being pierced was assessed. MAP and HR were measured before and after positive airway pressure. Results Positive airway pressure (20 cm H2O) significantly increased the cross section area of IJV, CVP, success rates of puncturing IJV at first attempt and within 30 seconds and easiness of withdrawing blood from IJV after being pierced and deceased the depth of needle insertion as compared with control group. Positive airway pressure (20 cm H2O) also significantly increased the incidence of bradycardia and hypotension. Conclusion Positive airway pressure is helpful for right IJV catheterization guided by ultrasound under general anesthesia.

Objective A two-stage renovation has nowadays been considered as the optimal mode for the treatment of infected total hip joint.Extensive bone defects were often found during the subsequent operation,and they should be repaired by using allograft to attain stability of the implants.The purpose of present study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of employing bone allograft in repairing the femoral defect caused by post-operation infection of hip arthroplasty in the second stage operation.Method From Mar.2001 to Dec. 2006,a total of 20 patients(20 hips)with infected total hip arthroplasty were treated with bone allograft on the femoral side in the second operation.Impaction bone grafting technique was performed for 16 patients using bone allograft combined with cemented stems,and un-ce- mented prosthesis combined with bone strut allograft were used in the other 4 cases.A regular follow-up was done and the outcomes were evaluated using the Harris Hip Score System and radiography.Result All patients were followed-up clinically and radiographically for an average of 20.3 months(4-61 months).No re-infection was found at the last time of follow-up.The mean Harris Hip Score was in- creased from 34.2 before operation to 87.7 after operation.90% of the patients were satisfactory with the results.Conclusion The bone allograft can be used for reconstructing bone defects in the patients after infection of total hip arthroplasty,either with combined with ce- mented stems or non-cemented stems.It is an effective and safe way in dealing with femoral bone defect after infection of total hip arthro- plasty.
