Objective To investigate the mRNA expression of CC Chemokines, including RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted), monocyte chemoattracctant protein-1 (MCP-1), monocyte chemoattracctant protein-3 (MCP-3) and macrophage inhibitory protein 1? (MIP-1?), in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with chronic urticaria, their mutual correlation, and the relationship between the expression level of CC chemokines and the serum level of IgE and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in the patients. Methods Reverse transcription-polymerase reaction (RT-PCR) was applied to semiquantitatively analyze the mRNA expression of RANTES, MCP-1, MCP-3 and MIP-1? in PBMCs from 31 patients with chronic urticaria and 22 healthy subjects. Results The mRNA expression of RANTES, MCP-1, MCP-3 and MIP-1?was significantly higher in the patients than those in the normal controls (P 0.05). In the patients, the mRNA expression of RANTES negatively correlated with the serum level of IgE and ECP (P

[Objective]To compare the osteoinductive activity of calcium sulfate(CS),allogenetic demineralized bone materials(ADBM) and heterogenetic demineralized bone materials(HDBM) by observing their efficiency in inducing bone formation.[Method]CS,ADBM and HDBM were transplanted into thigh muscle pouches of mice.Thirty-six mature Sprague-Dawly mice were divided into 2 groups at random.CS was transplanted into the left(group A 1,n=9) and ADBM into the right(group A2,n=9) thigh muscle pouches.HDBM was transplanted into the left thigh muscle pouches(group B 1,n=9) and the right sites were taken as blank controls(group B2,n=9).Experiments were done to induce ectopic bone formation.At 2,4,6 weeks postoperatively,specimen were collected to evaluate gross and tissue structures and biochemical tests for alkaline phosphatase(ALP) and Ca2+ so that osteoinductive activities of different bone graft materials could be assessed.[Result]At 2 weeks postoperativly,ADBM and HDBM were wrapped up by fibrous tissues and stromal cells gathering around the DBM slices.At 4 weeks postoperativly,formation of cartilage and osteoblasts were observed,and at 6 weeks,materials like cartilage matrix were observed to grow.The concentration of ALP and Ca2+ in study groups was higher than that of control group,which meant that 2 types of DBM had osteogenic potential and that the differences of osteogenetie potential in ADBM and HDBM relied on the donors,whereas CS could be degraded and absorbed fast with light inflammatory reaction and no ectopic bone formation was observed in CS graft.[Conclusion]Both ADBM and HDBM have osteoinductive potential.ADBM is better in inducing ectopic bone formation than HDBM.Differences in donors and preparation of ADBM and HDBM have impacts on their abilities of inducing ectopic bone formation.CS is good at biocompatibility and could be used as bulking agents to repair bone defects.

[Objective]To investigate the relationship between inoculation dose of staphylococcus aureus versus radiological and microbiological changes of rabbit tibial infection with bone defect.[Methods]Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC 29213) with total number of colony from 6?101 to 6?106 were prepared.The bacteria were injected in the tibia after an area of bone defect was made.The inoculated lesions were assessed for changes in radiological and bacteriological parameters at 3 weeks after infection.[Results]Development of significant histological and radiological signs of infected bone defect required an inoculum of at least 6?105 CFU/5 ?l.[Conclusion]These results suggest that strain staphylococcus aureus(ATCC 29213) induces the development of chronic rabbit tibial infection with bone defect,and that this model may be applied to identification of virulence factors in studies of posttraumatic osteomyelitis.

In recent years, the problems about the protection of intellectual property rights on the traditional medicine has got attentions around the world. Among them, Thailand explored a set of national legislations to protect the intellectual property right about the traditional medicine knowledge, which is very instructive to the developing countries. On the basis of summing up the Thailand traditional medicine intellectual property protection policy, the thesis proposed ideas on the protection of the traditional medicine in China.

Objective To study the effect of FSH on the secretion of gastrin in the rat stomach,offering experimental evidence for reproductive endocrine hormone regulating digestive function. Methods The FSH was directly injected into the stomach of rats to observe the change of density of gastrin immunoreactive positive cells in the stomach by immunohistochemical SABC method and the gastrin level in circulating blood and gastric liquid by ELISA. Results Compared with the control group,which was injected with saline into the stomach,the density of immunoreactive positive cells was significantly increased in the stomach with FSH treatment group(P

Objective To measure the levels of plasma D-dimer,activated coagulation factor Ⅶ (FⅦa) and activated clotting factor Ⅻ (FⅫa) in patients with chronic urticaria (CU),and to investigate their relationship with the occurrence of CU.Methods Venous blood samples were collected from 50 patients with CU and 50 healthy human controls.Dry-column immune scattering chromatography was performed to detect the plasma level of D-dimer,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure the levels of FⅦa and FⅫa.In addition,autologous plasma skin test (APST) was conducted in 43 patients with CU,and autologous serum skin test (ASST) in 41 patients with CU.A correlation analysis was carried out between the above three parameters and disease severity as well as between the results of APST and ASST and plasma level of D-dimer.Results The levels of plasma D-dimer and F Ⅶa were significantly higher in patients with CU than in healthy human controls (both P ＜ 0.05),while no significant difference was found in FⅫa level between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Moreover,the degree of increase in D-dimer plasma level was positively correlated with disease severity in the patients with CU.The plasma level of D-dimer was significantly higher in APST-positive patients than in APST-negative patients (P ＜ 0.05),but not significantly different between ASST-positive and-negative patients (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Coagulation mechanism,especially the extrinsic coagulation pathway,is related to the occurrence of CU.Studies on coagulation mechanism are beneficial to the evaluation of severity,and clinical treatment,of CU.

Objective To investigate changes in lengths of the wrist ligaments during wrist radioulnar deviation. Methods Six volunteers were included in the study. CT scans was used to detect the changes under different positions of the wrist in the volunteers. The wrists were scanned from the position of radial deviation of 20° to the one of ulnar deviation of 40° at an interval of 20°. The 3-dimensional carpal and distal radioulnar joint structures were reconstructed with customized software and chauges in length of the palmar and dorsal wrist ligaments in radioulnar deviation were computed. Results From wrist radial deviation to neutral position, the lengths of the radioscaphocapitate ligament, the long radiolunate ligament and the dorsal intercarpal ligament increased significantly (P ＜ 0.05), they increased (2.4±0.3) mm, (2.3±0.8) mm,(1.2±0.6) mm, (1.2±1.2)mm and (2.6±1.0) mm respectively. While from wrist ulnar deviation to neutral position, ulnocapitate ligament and the dorsal radiocarpal ligament increased significantly (P ＜ 0.05), they increased (0.8 ±0.6) nm and (1.0±0.5) mm respectively. Conclusion At wrist radial deviation, the radioscaphocapitate, long radiolunate and dorsal intercarpal ligaments are slack. At wrist ulnar deviation, the ulnocapitate ligament and the dorsal radiocarpal ligament are slack. These positions may be favorable to healing of these ligaments.

Objective To analyze the coincidence of the patients with capillary electrophoresis hemoglobin A 2 increase with defi-nitely diagnosed beta thalassaemia and to investigate its application value in the diagnosis of beta thalassaemia.Methods Two hundreds and sixty outpatients and inpatients with hemoglobin A 2 increase in our hospital from May 2014 to May 2015 were per-formed the genetic testing.Results Among 260 patients with hemoglobin A2 increase ,beta thalassemia gene mutations were detec-ted in 257 cases ,the coincidence rate reached 98.85% ,and the common 17 beta thalassemia gene mutations were not detected in the other 3 cases ,follow-up further detection of rare beta thalassaemia gene and beta globin gene sequencing was performed ,1 case of SEA-HPFH βdeletion type was found ,1 case was Taiwaneseβdeletion type and 1 case was Codon 89-93(-AGT GAG CTG CAC TG) heterozygous mutation ,it was verified that 3 cases of hemoglobin A2 increase without detecting 17 kinds of common beta thalassemia gene mutations were still beta chain mutation occurrence or big fragment deletion.At the same time ,among 257 speci-mens of beta thalassemia gene mutations ,42 cases were compound alpha thalassaemia ,accounting for 16.34% of beta thalassaemia. Conclusion Capillary electrophoresis hemoglobin A2 increase can provide a fast and accurate basis for beta thalassemia diagnosis , but which can not rule out the possibility of compoound alpha thalassaemia ,when the patient's hemoglobin A2 is increased ,alpha and beta thalassaemia genetic diagnosis should be simultaneously carried out.
