Objetive To evaluate the carotid artery stiffness of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and analyze the mechanism and influence factors. Methods Fifty cases of AIDS patients and Fifty healthy people were enrolled in this study according to the principles of randomize and control. Quantitive inter-media thickness (QIMT) and quantitive artery stiffness (QAS) technique were employed to evaluate the inter-media thickness (IMT) and stiffness of right carotid artery. The parameters included IMT, compliance coefficent (CC), stiffness β (β), and pulse wave velocity (PWV). Unpaired t test was used to compare the parameters between two groups, and Pearson correlation analysis was used for linear correlation analysis. Results There were no statistically difference of carotid artery IMT between two groups [(0.569±0.095) mm vs (0.512±0.114) mm, P>0.05]. There was statistically difference of stiffness parameters (CC,β, PWV) between two groups [(0.59±0.21) mm2/kPa vs (1.04±0.41) mm2/kPa, 13.01±6.10 vs 8.14±1.37, (8.70±1.65) m/s vs (6.81±1.37) m/s, all P<0.05]. There was statistically signification association between HIV-infection time and CC,β, PWV ( r value was-0.575, 0.380, 0.417, all P<0.05 ), but there was no association between HIV-infection time and IMT( r value was 0.191, P>0.05 ). There was no statistically signification association between IMT, CC,β, PWV and CD4+, CD8+T cell count (r was 0.000, 0.012,-0.093,-0.097, 0.096, 0.012, 0.056, 0.024, all P>0.05). Conclusion The carotid artery stiffness of AIDS patients is reduced. HIV may play a role in the development of artery stiffness in AIDS patients.

The study aims to investigate the embryo-fetus development toxicity of the novel PPAR-δ agonist HS060098 on SD rats. The pregnant rats that were randomly divided into the solvent control group (1% hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose water solution) and HS060098 suspension groups (10, 30 and 100 mg x kg(-1) xd(-1)) were orally administered with HS060098 suspension or vehicle during the gestation of 6 -15 days (GD6-15). At termination (GD20), female rats were sacrificed. The pregnant females were evaluated by corpora lutea count, implantation sites, existence and death of embryos. Fetal sex, weight, externals, variations and malformations of viscus and skeleton were observed. The results show that there were no significant abnormality in maternal general conditions and fetal appearance as well as viscera, but in the 100 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) group, the maternal weight gain decreased greatly (P < 0.01) and the skeletal ossification delayed remarkably (P < 0.01); in the 30 mg x kg(-1) xd(-1) group, the fatal and litter number of incompletely ossified sternebrae II was higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05); the skeletal malformations occurred in all dose groups, which indicate that the novel PPAR-δ agonist HS060098 had maternal toxicity and adversely effected fetal skeletal development under the experimental conditions.

AIM: To study the causes of pyogenic granuloma after hydroxyapatite(HA) orbital implants.METHODS: HA orbital implants (250 cases) in our hospital (68 pegged implants) were reviewed.All patients were followed up from 18 months to 10 years. Implants were removed after medical therapy which was proved to be ineffective.RESULTS: Ten of 250 cases of HA orbital implants developed pyogenic granuloma. Pyogenic granuloma occurred in 1 unpegged implants patient and 9 patients after pegging and drilling of HA implantation over 4~7 years. The pyogenic granulomas were not controlled by medical therapy effectively. Implants were removed in 9 cases except 1 case denied removing and continued medical therapy.CONCLUSION: Pyogenic granuloma was serious complication that occurred after HA orbital implants. Partial vascularization, implant exposure, xenogenic sclera implant, pegging and drilling of HA implantation are risk factors that affect the development of pyogenic granuloma.Pyogenic granuloma hasn't relation with implanted peg material. Pyogenic granuloma denotes the potential implant infection, and all implants should be removed finally.

Relapse, which puzzled several generations of hematologists, is the bottle-neck of radical treatment for leukemias. The progress of Human Microbiome Project at the beginning of 21st century suggested that human body was a super-organism constituted by the core of human cells and symbiotic microorganisms. The elucidation and characterization of endogenous retrovirus and prion protein suggested the possible effects of co-evolutional microorganisms on human health. Recently, the elucidation of the roles of tunneling nanotubes in intercellular communication and transportation suggested a novel way for cellular communication and transport of oncogenic materials. The role and significance of in vivo cell fusion have been studied in more detail. On the other hand, donor cell leukemia was reported. All of these approaches provide novel insights for studying the mechanism of leukemia relapse. Based on previous work, the authors suggest the hypothesis: there are two possible mechanisms for the relapse of leukemias: the minimal residual disease (MRD) and intercellular transportation of oncogenic materials.

Objective To identify the antibiotic resistance, homology of imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from older in Zhejiang Hospital and the carbapenemases determinants of imipenem-resistant strains. MethodsTwo hundred and sixty-two strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated through May 2006 to May 2009 from older in Zhejiang Hospitals. K-B method was used to determine the 16 antimicrobial agents resistance of these 262 strains. The MICs of strains to 14 antimicrobial agents were determined by agar dilution and E test method. The coding sequence of Metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) were amplified, PCR products were purified, cloned and sequenced. The homology of these isolates was analyzed by pulse-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE). ResultsOne hundred and four strains of imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa were screened from 262 strains. The resistant rates of 104 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ampicillin/sulbactam and cefoperazone/sulbactam were 78.9% and 35.9% ; polymyxin E had a minimal resistance of 6.0% ; minocycline had a resistance rate of 58.3%. The resistant rates to other antimicrobial agents were more than 70.0%. Twelve imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains contained MBL gene and two kinds of integron were detected from 10 of these 12 strains. Twelve strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa belonged to 5 epidemic PFGE-clone. ConclusionAll of the imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa which had cause outbreaks in Zhejiang Hospital. MBL were not the most popular gene type. All of the MBL gene types were VIM-2. The blaVIM-2 gene cassettes located in diflerent class 1 integrons. The integrons dissemination was the most important style of strains spread.
