Objective To find out about the allocation of large size medical facilities in Tangshan City so as to make rational use of its health resources. Methods On the spot investigations were combined with surveys through questionnaires to find out about the allocation of large size facilities in second tier hospitals and above in the city. Results There are altogether 109 large size medical facilities in the city, averaging 15.60 per million people. The allocation number is pretty high, and yet the distribution is quite irrational, with the city proper owning 70.67% of the facilities while its population and land area account for only 24.06% and 8.10%. Conclusion The allocation number has been increasing rapidly and the level of grade is rather high, and yet there lacks equity in distribution.

Objective To investigate the triceps skinfold thickness (TSF) of patients with stroke in community. Methods 42 hemiplegics after stroke and 42 normal persons in the same community were measured by a same doctor team, including height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, waist circumference, hip circumference, and TSF. The grade of Brunnstrom and daily exercise time of the patients were investigated. Results The TSF was thicker in the non-affected side than in the affected side (P<0.05). The bilateral TSF was thinner in the patients than in the normal controls (P<0.05). In the patients, the TSF was thicker in those with function grade above Brunnstrom IV than those below (P<0.05), and in those who took part in exercise regularly than those did not (P<0.01). The body mass index was more in the patients than in the controls (P<0.05). Conclusion The TSF is thinner in the patients with stroke, which may associate with the motor function and daily exercise.

Objective Determination of Wilson disease gene mRNA expression in human fibroblast cell strain (Me32aT22/2L) by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Methods Using lipofection reagent, the plasmid vector carrying the Wilson disease gene (pRc/CMV-WD) was transferred into Me32aT22/2L cultured in serum free complement medium. RT-PCR was used to determine WD mRNA expression in Me32aT22/2L. Results Wilson disease gene expression was detected in Me32aT22/2L, while no specific signals were detected in untransfected fibroblast. Conclusions It demonstrated that Me32aT22/2L strain could express the Wilson disease gene, suggesting that Wilson disease gene transfer might develop a new approach to study Wilson disease.

Objective To diagnose the pre-symptomatic cases of Chinese Wilson's disease(WD) and detect the potential carriers by using fluorescence PCR technique. Methods Screening the high frequency spot Arg778Leu of WD gene mutation in 66 Chinese WD patients, 55 healthy family members and 30 controls, and selecting 3 random samples (2 from WD patients, 1 from controls) for DNA sequencing to testify the accuracy of fluorescence PCR. Results Among 66 Chinese WD cases, 5 were found homozygous for mutation of Arg778Leu and 21 were compound heterozygous; the gene mutation rate was totally 39.4%.Out of 55 healthy family members, 12 were found heterozygous, and it was confirmed that 11 of these 12 individuals were WD gene carriers but not pre-symptomatic patients. The results of direct DNA sequencing consisted with those results detected by fluorescence PCR. Conclusion The Arg778Leu mutation in exon 8 is the high frequency spot of Chinese Wilson's disease gene. Fluorescence PCR analysis is a rapid, accurate gene diagnostic method and demonstrates a high detecting rate.

Objective To investigate the pathogenesis of Wilson's disease(WD). Methods Hepatocytes were isolated from WD patients' bioptic hepatic samples and cultured in vitro; WD proteins, the gene putative encoded products, were detected by SDS-PAGE in conjunction with Western blotting in liver samples of three patients and two controls. Their genomic DNAs were analyzed by means of direct DNA sequencing of WD gene (ATP7B) on exon 8. Results The WD proteins lanes from two WD patients were found to be much weaker than that from the control, from which one WD patient was proven as heterozygote of 778 position CGG→CTG(Arg778Leu) and 770 position CTC→CTG change of ATP7B. Conclusion WD is highly heterogeneous in clinical manifestations and inheritance pattern. Abnormally expressed putative WD proteins in WD patients might be the results of ATP7B mutations, and the study of ATP7B products would help to probe into the pathogenesis of WD.

Objective To explore the effects of psychological crisis intervention in amputation patients with limbs high-voltage burns. Methods A total of 68 amputation patients with limbs high-voltage burns who were treated in Harbin Fifth Hospital from January 2011 to December 2016 were selected in this study using purposive sampling. The participants were randomly divided into the observation group (n=34) and the control group (n=34). The control group received routine psychological nursing care while the observation group was given psychological crisis intervention. The Stress Reaction (SR), SAS, and SDS were used to evaluate the effects of the intervention. Results The observation group had significantly lower scores of SR, SAS, and SDS compared with the control group [(17.89±3.66) vs. (26.89±3.98) for SR; (42.31±8.48) vs. (50.32±10.25) for SAS; (45.32±8.96) vs. (52.77±11.18) for SDS; (t=17.328,4.512,3.581;P<0.05)]. Conclusions The psychological crisis intervention can effectively improve negative emotions such as anxiety and depression in amputation patients with limbs high-voltage burns. It helps patients to develop positive attitudes towards the reality of amputation.

Objective:To study the expression of Toll like receptor 3 (TLR3) in human adenocarcinoma of the lung cells induced by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and its significance in the diagnosis of pneumonia in children.Methods:A549 cells were divided into RSV infection group [added 1 μg/ml Lipopolysaccharide (TLR3 agonist) transfected RSV virus after 150 μl intervention], Lipopolysaccharide stimulation group (added 1 μg/ml Lipopolysaccharide 150 μl intervention) and normal control group (normal culture). The mRNA expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin 8, TLR3 protein and TLR3 in A549 Cells of different groups were compared. We prospectively selected 80 children with RSV infectious pneumonia admitted to Baoding Second Central Hospital from August 2019 to October 2021 as the RSV pneumonia group, and sixty children with common pneumonia were taken as the common pneumonia group, and 60 healthy children in our hospital were taken as the control group. The mRNA expression of serum TLR3 in different groups was compared, and the diagnostic efficacy of serum TLR3 in RSV pneumonia was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic.Results:There was a statistically significant difference in the expression of TLR3 protein among different groups of A549 cells ( P<0.001). The expression differences of TLR3 mRNA in different groups of A549 cells at different time points were statistically significant(all P<0.001). There was significant difference in the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin 8 of A549 cells at different time points in different groups (all P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the expression of serum TLR3 mRNA among the three groups of subjects ( F=155.237, P<0.001). The critical value for TLR3 gene diagnosis was 66.87, with corresponding sensitivity of 73.75%, specificity of 70.83%, and the area under curve (AUC) of 0.803(95% CI: 0.753-0.855). Conclusions:Respiratory syncytial virus induces human lung cancer cells and promotes disease progression through TLR3 expression; Serum TLR3 can be used for the diagnosis of RSV pneumonia.

Objective:To analyze the trend of late-diagnosis of HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) before and after the AIDS Conquering Project in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi) and its influencing factors, in order to find out the population groups that need priority intervention at the present stage.Methods:The HIV-infected MSM in Guangxi from 2005-2021 were selected from the National Integrated HIV/AIDS Control and Prevention Data System. The Joinpoint 4.9.1.0 software was used to test the time trend of late-diagnosis and non-late-diagnosis cases, and logistic regression was applied to analyze the factors influencing the proportion of late-diagnosis at each stage.Results:From 2005 to 2021, 5 764 HIV-infected MSM were reported in Guangxi from 2005 to 2021, with an overall late-diagnosis of 28.45% (1 640 cases). Under the 2015 baseline data as the boundary, the proportion of late-diagnosis cases showed a trend of sharp decline followed by stabilization from 2005 to 2015, average annual percent change= -6.90% ( P<0.001). The effect of factors such as resident population, occupation as a farmer or worker, and sample originating from medical consultation on late-diagnosis changed considerably before and after the implementation of the project, and the factors influencing late-diagnosis at this stage were age, resident population, occupation as a farmer, worker or student. The factors influencing late-diagnosis at this stage are age, resident population, and occupation as a farmer, worker and a student. Conclusions:The proportion of late diagnosis cases of HIV-infected MSM in Guangxi decreased significantly before and after the project. However, late-diagnosis should not be neglected and precise prevention and control should be carried out for the resident population, farmers, workers or students.
