Objective To study the location of embryonic optic cup stem cells during tailbud stage. Methods The embryonic optic cup at embryonic day 11～15 (E11～15) in rats was sectioned horizontally at 15 ?m thick. The distributive characteristics of embryonic optic cup progenitor cells were revealed by immunohistochemistry. Results ①The distribution of optic cup progenitors was mainly aggregated on the optic cup at E12.5. CHX10-positive cells were organized as stratified epithelium arrangement on optic cup inner layer. Clusters of CHX10-positive cells were observed at the edge of optic cup; ② Pigment appeared in the outer layer of optic cup at E13.5, and differentiation into ganglion cells was initiated. Conclusion The distribution of optic cup stem cells is mainly aggregated on the optic cup at E12.5 in which the differentiation into ganglion cells is not initiated.

Objective The prevention effect of CAUTI by long-acting antibacterial material JUC was evaluated by meta analysis.Methods China digital hospital library full-text database,Chinese biomedical literature CD database,China hosptial knowledge database (CHKD) in China national knowledge internet (CNKI),VIP information Chinese science and technology periodical database were retrieved to fully collect the literature from 1995 to 2012 regarding JUC's prevention effect of CAUTI.The inclusion and exclusion standard of literature was made,and the effect index was made from the literature.Two researchers collected the literatures independently,and the included literatures were meta-analyzed by Review Manager 4.2 software,and the risk difference of infection rate and 95％ CI were calculated in both the treatment group and control group.Those literatures which could not be meta-analyzed were performed descriptive analysis to evaluate the efficacy of JUC objectively.Results 20 related articles were retrieved,including 1 multicenter randomized control study,18 monocentric randomized control studies,and 1 uncontrolled study.3172 cases were included with 1526 cases in control group (usual care) and 1646 cases in treatment group (usual care with JUC).The difference between the two groups is significant (RD =-0.15,95％ CI:-0.18 ～-0.13,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Long-acting antibacterial material JUC can diminish the incidence of CAUTI significantly.

Objective To assess the effect of extracorporeal shock waves(ESWs)as a treatment for ⅢB chronic prostatitis(CP).Methods Forty-six men with ⅢB CP were randomly divided into an experimental group (n=34)and a control group(n=12).The patients in experimental group received low energy ESW treatment,20000 impulses in 10 sessions over 2 weeks.The patients in control group received sham ESW treatment without shock waves energy under the same other conditions as in experimental group.Pain,urination and quality of life/impact were assessed with National Institutes of Health-chronic prostatitis symptom index(NIH-CPSI).Both groups were assessed at baseline,post-treatment and at a 4-week follow-up.Resuits The total NIH-CPSI scores,pain scores and quality of life/impact scores in experimental group decreased significantly post-treatment(P＜0.01),but urination scores did not(P＞0.05).Similar decreases of these scores were also found in control group post-treatment.The total NIH-CPSl scores and pain scores maintained at a lower level at the 4-week follow-up in experimental group,but the scores returned to the level as pre-treatment in control group.The effectiveness rates and prominent effectiveness rates in experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group post-treatment and at the 4-week follow-up(all P＜0.05). Conclusions ESWs was effective in the treatment for ⅢB CP.After ESWs treatment pain alleviated,symptoms reducea and quality of life improved.

Objective To develop a multiple PCR-based reverse line blot hydrization assay (mPCR-RLB)to simutaneously detect several STD pathogens:Neisserria gonorrhoeae,Chlamydia trachomatis,Ureaplasma urealyticum,U.parvum,Mycoplasma genitalium,M,hominis and Trichomonas vaginalis.Methods Seven pairs of biotin-labelled primer were designed and synthesized to target the 16S rRNA-23S rRNA intergenic spacer regions of Neisserria gonorrhoeae,Chlamydia trachomatis,Mycoplasma,and repetitive DNA sequence of Trichomonas to identify and subtype thesc pathogens.DNA was extracted from the referrence strains of seven pathogens and used as templates.mPCR was performed to simutaneously amplify the target regions of these pathogens.Then,the biotin-labelled amplicons were hybridized with membrane-bound specific oligonucleotide probes followed by the detection of bound amplicons with chemiluminescence assay.Serially diluted plasmids containing the target genes of pathogens were amplified with this method to detect its sensitivity.Two-hundred and eleven specimens,including 104 male urethral swabs and 107 female cervical swabs,were collected from the STD clinic of Wuhan First Hospital;mPCR-RLB and single-primer PCR were performed.For specimens with inconsistent results,nested PCR was performed to confirm the results.Results The assay sensitively and specifically identified referrence strains of the tested pathogens.The detection limit of mPCR-RLB was 100 copies for all the pathogens.Of the 211 clinical specimens,2.8%(6/21)were negative for single-primer PCR,but positive for mPCR-RLB,and nested-PCR results were consistent with those of mPCR-RLB.Conclusion mPCR-RLB is a sensitive,specific and rapid method for the detection of STD pathogens from clinical specimens.

Objective To investigate the P2X3 receptor expression in L6-S1 dorsal root ganglion (DRG)and bladder detrusor in a rat model of neurogenic bladder and urethra. Methods Eighty Sprague-Dawley rats wererecruited and randomly divided into a sacral injury group, a suprasacral injury group and a control group. Spinal tran-section was performed to establish the animal model of neurogenic bladder and urethra in rats of the sacral injurygroup and suprasacral injury group. Check the P2X3 receptor expression in DBG and bladder detrusor among thethree groups by Western blot test at 20 days after model establishment. Results P2X3 receptor expression in L6-S1DRG of sacral injury group was significantly less than that of the suprasacral injury group, which was in turn signifi-cantly higher than that of the control group. P2X3 receptor expression in bladder detrusor of sacral injury group wassignificantly lower than that of the suprasacral injury group, which was in turn significantly higher than that of thecontrol group. Conclusion There was close relationship between P2X3 receptor expression and dysfunction of blad-der and urethra.

Objective To compare the therapeutic efficacies of fire-needle acupuncture and Halometasone cream in treating sub-acute and chronic eczema. Method Totally 114 patients were divided into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was intervened by using fire-needle acupuncture, and the control group was by Halometasone cream. Itchy score and Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) were used for comparison before and after intervention. Result There were significant differences in comparing the markedly-effective rate and total effective rate between the fire-needle acupuncture group and the Halometasone control group according to the itchy score (P＜0.01). There were no significant differences in comparing the markedly-effective rate and total effective rate between the two groups according to EASI (P>0.05). Conclusion Fire-needle acupuncture is superior to Halometasone cream for acute and chronic eczema in relieving itch, action time and effect-sustaining duration.

Objective Exploration of the application value of the third-generation dual source CT low tube voltage (70 kVp) scanning combined with advanced modeling iterative reconstruction (ADMIRE) technique in children with adenoid examination. Methods CT scans were performed in patients with clinically suspected adenoid hypertrophy. They were divided into two groups according to the time of treatment. Group A (40 cases) : low tube voltage (70 kVp) scan, reference tube current 163 mAs, reconstruction with ADMIER, Intensity 3; Group B (40 cases) : conventional 100 kVp, reference tube current 163 mAs, conventional (filtered back-projection, FBP) reconstruction;rest of the scanning parameters remained unchanged. The subjective scores and objective quality indicators of the images (CT value, image noise, signal noise ratio (SNR) , contrast noise ratio (CNR)) and radiation dose of the two groups were compared. Results The difference of radiation dose between group A and group B was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The radiation dose of group A was lower than that of group B by 77.58％.Compared with group B, the image noise of group A increased by 0.002％; the SNR decreased by 0.01％; CNR increased by 0.03％; there was no significant difference in objective quality evaluation index and subjective score between two groups in the image quality (P> 0.05). Conclusion The third-generation dual-source CT low-tube voltage (70 kVp) combined with ADMIRE reconstruction technique for children with adenoid scan can effectively reduce the radiation dose while ensuring image quality.

Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor in elderly men in western countries. In the past decade, the incidence and mortality of prostate cancer in China have shown a rapid upward trend. With the changes of social economy, life style and the progress of diagnosis and treatment, the epidemiological characteristics of prostate cancer are constantly changing. Therefore, understanding the epidemiological characteristics of prostate cancer is helpful to provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment of this malignant tumor. This article reviews the research progress on the morbidity, mortality, epidemiological distribution, survival and risk factors of prostate cancer in China.

ObjectiveTo study the correlation between the etiology and clinical features of erythroderma.MethodsThe clinical data on 182 patients with erythroderma were retrospectively collected and analyzed.ResultsThe male-to-female ratio was 2.8 ∶ 1 and the average age at onset was 58.6 ± 14.6 years.Of the 182 cases,135 (74.2％) were due to pre-existing dermatoses,14 (7.7％) to drug reaction,8 (4.4％) to malignancies,while 25(13.7％) had no obvious precipitating factors.The most frequent triggering factor was systemic consumption of drugs(52 patients,28.6％ ),and glucocorticosteroid was the most prevalent causative drug.Seventy-six patients were followed up,recurrence was observed in 14 patients but not in 58 patients,and 5 patients died,2 patients with idiopathic erythroderma were finally diagnosed with mycosis fungoides (MF)after multiple skin biopsies.ConclusionsPre-existing dermatoses are the most frequent cause of erythroderma.Idiopathic erythroderma is liable to relapse,possibly associated with malignancies,and should be closely followed up.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of D-dimer for early neurological deteriora- tion (END) in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods Patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology, the Second People ' s Hospital of Shenzhen between January 2015 and December 2017 were enrolled retrospectively. END was defined as an increase ≥2 in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score or an increase ≥1 in the motor function score within 7 days after admission compared with the baseline score. Demographics, baseline clinical data, and primary treatment options during hospitalization were compared between the END group and the non-END groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for END. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of D-dimer for END. Results A total of 625 patients were enrolled in the study, including 40 in the END group (including 3 deaths) and 585 in the non-END group. The mean hospital stay, international normalized ratio, D-dimer, uric acid, NIHSS score and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at admission, and the proportion of patients with complete anterior circulation infarction, large atherosclerotic stroke, and pulmonary infection were significantly higher than those in the non-END group (all P < 0. 05). There was no significant difference in the proportion of patients receiving thrombolysis, antiplatelet,anticoagulation, and statins between the two groups. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of D-dimer predicting END was 0. 810 (95％ confidence interval [CI] 0. 736-0. 884; P < 0. 001); the optimal cut-off value was 2. 35 mg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 54. 74％ and 96. 13％ respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that large atherosclerotic stroke (odds ratio [OR] 1. 115, 95％ CI 1. 005-1. 390; P = 0. 003 ), D-dimer ≥2. 35 mg/L (OR 1. 055,95％ CI 1. 012-1. 150; P = 0. 001 ), NIHSS score at admission (OR 1. 191, 95％ CI 1. 006-1. 410; P <0. 001), mRS score > 1 at admission (OR 1. 755, 95％ CI 1. 139-3. 656; P = 0. 037 ), and pulmonary infection (OR 2. 598, 95％ CI 1. 132-3. 081; P = 0. 012) were the independent risk factors for END in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Conclusion D-dimer ≥2. 35 mg/L at admission has higher predictive value for END in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
