Objective To study the effects and security of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells transPlantation (UC-MSCs) for Patients with refractory systemic luPus erythematosus(SLE). Methods Forty Patients with refractory SLE were divided into two grouPs at random.All of Patients were treated for glucocorticoid and CTX, then Patients of the 2 grouP were transPlanted for UC-MSCs.All of Patients were observed before and 2 weeks after treatment,1 month,2 months,3 months,6 months,9 months and 12 months of clinical manifestations and laboratory Parameters . Results 2 weeks after treatment, 60%of the 1 grouP were SLEDAI<10 scores, and the 2 grouPs were 90%. There was statistically significant difference between the two grouPs (χ2=7.619, P=0.006). 1 year after treatment, PLT,ALB and C3 of the 2 grouPs were more than the 1 grouPs(P<0.05). SLEDAI,U-Pro,ESR and Hs-CRP of the 1 grouPs were more than the 2 grouPs(P<0.05). WBC,Cr and C4 of the two grouPs had not statistically significant difference(P﹥0.05). The recurrence rate of the 1 grouPs was 45%. Of the 2 grouPs was 15%.There was statistically significant difference between the two grouPs (χ2=4.286, P=0.038). Conclusion It is effective and safe for refractory SLE to transPlant UC-MSCs after using glucocorticoid and CTX. Further observation is required to evaluate long term efficacy and adverse reaction of UC-MSCs.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to discuss when to dissect the lymph nodes behind the right recurrent laryngeal nerve (LN-prRLN) from the standpoint of the right cervical level Ⅵ-1 (superficial layer to the recurrent laryngeal nerve) lymph nodes in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients.METHODS The clinical data of 306 bilateral or right PTC patients from the Hangzhou First People's Hospital who underwent dissection of level Ⅵ-1 lymph nodes and LN-prRLN between March 2014 and September 2015 were analyzed. We measured the number of level Ⅵ-1 metastatic lymph nodes and size of level Ⅵ-1 lymph nodes metastasis loci to predict the metastasis of LN-prRLN.RESULTS The number of level Ⅵ-1 metastatic lymph nodes and size of level Ⅵ-1 lymph nodes metastasis loci were risk factors of LN-prRLN metastasis(P<0.05). When the number of the level Ⅵ-1 metastatic lymph nodes was greater than 1.5, the AUC was 0.813 (the sensitivity was 78.43%, the specificity was 76.65%). The ROC showed that when the size of level Ⅵ-1 lymph nodes metastasis loci were more than 0.45 cm, the AUC was 0.726 (sensitivity was 90.20%, specificity was 48.90%).CONCLUSION In bilateral or right PTC patients with metastasis of level Ⅵ-1 lymph nodes, especially when the number of level Ⅵ-1 metastatic lymph nodes was greater than 2cm and the metastasis loci were more than 0.45 cm, we should dissect the LN-prRLN.

Objective To explore and analyze the on-site investigation of hand,foot and mouth disease (HFMD) silent infection among medical staffs and children families,so as to provide evidence for the prevention of HFMD.Methods Totals of 42 medical staffs,who worked at HFMD ward,and 101 family members,who had children with HFMD,had been selected to take throat swab and stool samples during the period of HFMD outbreak from March to June 2013.According to the close degree of contact,the family members were divided into intimate contact group and non close contact group.All samples qualitatively classified through universal enterovirus type (UE),enterovirus 71 type (EV71),Coxsackie virus A group 16 type (CA16) to judge weather HFMD was silent infection or not.Results All 42 medical staffs presented negative for samples,but 25 cases of family members (24.75％) showed positive UE,22 cases positive EV71 (21.78％),3 cases other positive enterovirus type (2.97％),no positive CA16.The throat swap positive EV rate of HFMD children family members reached 3.45％,EV positive rate of stool samples 33.33％ (x2 =9.913,P ＜ 0.01);the positive EV71 rate for throat swap was 3.45％,stool samples 29.17％ (x2 =8.028,P ＜0.01).The EV and EV71 positive rate and for family members in the non close contact group were 23.40％ (11/47) and 23.40％ (11/47) compared 25.93％ (14/54) and 20.37％ (11/54) for family members in the close contact group.Conclusions When we understand the mechanism of transmission,we can improve the prevention of HFMD.It is worthy to popularize the measures such as the establishment of hospital infection prevention system,the increasing attention of disinfection and isolation,strengthening health education and awareness of medical staffs.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical value of the lymph nodes posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve (LN-prRLN, right VI-2) dissection in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). METHODS We studied the relationships between LN-prRLN metastasis and the clinicopathological characteristics in 408 patients with right or bilateral PTC who underwent LN-prRLN dissection. RESULTS Right VI-2 lymph node metastasis was 16.67％. Single factor analysis showed that there were statistically significant correlations between right VI-2 metastasis and gender, age, size and number of right thyroid lobe tumor, capsular invasion, right VI-1 lymph node metastasis and their size, and also metastatic lymph node in the right cervical lateral compartment. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Right VI-2 lymph node metastasis was related to right tumor size, capsular invasion, the right VI-1 metastasis and right lateral lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05). The receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the risk factors of LN-prRLN: age ＜35.5 years, right tumor size ＞0.85 cm, lymph node (right VI-1) number ＞1.5, metastatic lymph node (right VI-1) size ＞0.45 cm, lymph node number in the right cervical lateral compartment ＞0.5 and the areas under the ROC curves were 0.585, 0.787, 0.788, 0.725, 0.719. CONCLUSION The dissection of LN-prRLN should be considered when patient with the risk factors such as male, age ＜35.5 years, right tumor size ＞0.85 cm, capsular invasion, lymph node (right VI-1) number ＞1.5, metastatic lymph node (right VI-1) size ＞0.45 cm, lymph node number in the right cervical lateral compartment ＞0.5.

Objective To establish a central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) model on different strains of rabbits by intravenous injection of adrenaline,which may contribute to related researches of CSC.Methods This study was approved by Bioethics Committee of Fourth Military University and complied with Statement for the Use of Animals in Ophthalmic and Visual Research.Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was initially performed on male New Zealand white rabbits (10),Belgium rabbits (5) and Chinchilla rabbits (10) to make sure that the retinas of subjects were normal.For the New Zealand white rabbits,adrenaline was injected via ear vein at a dose of 0.04 mg/kg once per day for the first 8 weeks and followed by a dose of 0.08 mg/kg for the next 4 weeks,while 0.04 mg/kg adrenaline was injected in the same way for 8 weeks in the Belgium rabbits and Chinchilla rabbits.FFA was performed every week after injection of adrenaline to evaluate the fluorescence leakage in ocular fundus.New Zealand white rabbits were sacrificed in 4 (3 rabbits),8 (3 rabbits) and 12 weeks (4 rabbits) after injection respectively,and Belgium rabbits and Chinchilla rabbits were sacrificed in the 8 weeks after injection.The eyeballs of the rabbits were enucleated to prepare the retinal sections for histopathological examination after hematoxylin-eosin staining.The results of FFA and retinal structure were compared among different strains of rabbits.Results No fluorescence leakage was found by FFA in ocular fundus,and the retinal structure was normal in all the 10 New Zealand white rabbits during the experiment.Fluorescence leakage was found by FFA in 2 Belgium rabbits at 1 week and 2 weeks after injection respectively,and retinal detachment and depigmentation of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) with an enlarged intercellular space were shown by hematoxylin-eosin staining.For the Chinchilla rabbits,fluorescence leakages were found in 7 rabbits throughout the whole period of adrenaline administration.Circumscribed retinal detachment,depigmentation of RPE with enlarged intercellular space were also found in leakage lesions.Conclusions Repeated intravenous injection of adrenaline can induce CSC-like lesions in colored rabbits but not in albino rabbits.

OBJECTIVE To explore the feasibility of detection for mutated BRAF V600E gene based on amplification refractory mutation system(ARMS),and to evaluate its clinical significance of BRAF V600E gene mutation in thyroid nodules.METHODS The method of ARMS was used to detect BRAF V600E mutation status in 179 patients with PTC and 115 patients with benign lesions.The diagnosis index of BRAF V600E mutation status for identifying the nature of the thyroid nodule was calculated.The potential correlation between BRAF V600E mutation and PTC clinicpathological characteristics was also analyzed.RESULTS Detection of BRAF V600E mutation status in thyroid lesions based on ARMS was feasible and believable.The positive rate of mutated BRAF V600E gene in PTC was 82.68％,whereas the rate in benign lesions was only 1.74％,indicating statistical differences between the two groups(x2=183.568,P＜0.01).The diagnostic sensitivity of BRAF V600E mutation was 82.68％,specificity was 98.26％,accuracy was 88.76％,and Youden index was 0.8094.There was no associations between the BRAF V600E mutation status and PTC clinicpathological characteristics(eg.gender,age,tumor size,numbers of lesions,bilateral lesions,extrathyroidal extension and lymph node metastasis).CONCLUSION Detection of BRAF V600E mutation based on ARMS has higher sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing PTC from benign lesions,indicating BRAF V600E gene is an ideal marker of PTC for clinical early diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) in the auxiliary diagnosis of tuberculosis and the judgment of the severity of disease. METHODS: From February, 2013 to February, 2017, a total of 193 patients with TB admitted in our hospital and 84 healthy control subjects were recruited consecutively. The peripheral blood plasma levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and IP-10 were detected using liquid phase chip (Luminex) technique. According to the number of lung fields affected by TB, the patients were divided into group A (with lesions in 1-2 lung fields), group B (3-4 lung fields) and group C (5-6 lung fields), The expressions of IFN-γ and IP-10 in 3 groups were compared. RESULTS: The plasma levels of IP-10 were significantly higher in TB patients than in the control subjects ( < 0.05), but IFN-γ levels were comparable between the two groups ( > 0.05). Among the TB patients, plasma IP-10 levels was the highest in group C ( < 0.05), and IFN-γ levels did not differ significantly among the 3 groups ( > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Plasma IP-10 has a certain reference value in the auxiliary diagnosis of active tuberculosis and the judgment of the severity of the disease.
