OBJECTIVE: To survey and promote the ability of military men to treat burns. METHODS: A total of 2200 military men were recruited to survey and examine their acknowledge and technique to treat burns, and then acknowledge and technique were taught to treat burns through multimedia and demonstration. One year later, the same subjects were surveyed again. RESULTS: Before the intervention, their ability was deficient (the mean score was 51). Their scores were significantly promoted after the intervention (the mean score was 75, P<0.01). Before and after the intervention, the service age, education and position had no effect on the score, but before the intervention, the navy's score was significantly better than the army's or the air force's (P>0.01). CONCLUSION The ability of military men to treat burns needs to be improved for the potential hightech warfare.

OBJECTIVETo study the expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) mRNA in human trophoblast HTR-8/SVneo cells and the changes in indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) mRNA expression in response to TLR ligand stimulation.

METHODSThe expressions of TLRs and IDO mRNA in human HTR-8/SVneo cells were tested by RT-PCR, and the changes in IDO mRNA levels after exposure to TLR3, TLR4, TLR7/8, and TLR9 ligands were quantitatively analyzed with real-time PCR.

RESULTSIDO and TLR1-10 mRNAs were expressed in HTR-8/SVneo cells. As the cell culture time extended, IDO mRNA expression level tended to increase within 48 h. After stimulation with the TLR ligands, the expression of TLR-3 mRNA was down-regulated while the expression of TLR-4, 7, 8, and 9 mRNA up-regulated. Stimulation of the cells with poly(I:C) lowered the expression of IDO mRNA while IFN-γ increased its expression.

CONCLUSIONSThe expression of IDO mRNA is associated with the nutrition of the maternal-fetal interface. Stimulation with the TLR ligands affects the expression of IDO and TLR mRNA expressions in the cells, which verifies the functional activity of TLRs and suggests a role of IDO in TLR pathway-dependent antiviral immunity.

Objective:To evaluate the intestinal function in rats with exertional heat stroke (EHS) and explore the protective role of Ruifuping pectin (RFP) against heat related intestinal mucosal injury.Methods:One hundred and twenty healthy special pathogen free (SPF) male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into normothermic control group, EHS model group, hyperthermic plus drinking water group (H 2O+EHS group) and hyperthermic plus pectin group (RFP+EHS group) with 30 rats in each group. The rats in the H 2O+EHS group and RFP+EHS group were given water 20 mL/kg or RFP 20 mL/kg orally for 5 days during adaptive training period. After 1 week, the temperature control range was adjusted to (37±1)℃ using the temperature control treadmill, and the rat model of EHS was reproduced by one-time high temperature exhaustive exercise. No rehydration intervention was given during the training adaptation period in the EHS model group. The rats in the normothermic control group were maintained to room temperature (25±2)℃ and humidity (55±5)% without other treatment. Behavior tests including withdraw response, righting, and muscle strength were performed immediately after onset of EHS. Blood of inferior vena cava was collected, and the serum inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukins (IL-6, IL-1β, IL-10)] and activity of diamine oxidase (DAO) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The intestinal mucosa was collected, after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and Chiu score was performed to assess EHS induced pathological changes under light microscope. Results:The rats in the EHS model group had behavioral, inflammatory and pathological changes, such as delayed withdraw response and righting, decreased forelimb pulling, increased inflammatory index, and obvious intestinal mucosal injury, which indicated that the reproduction of the EHS model was successful. There was no significant difference in above parameters between the H 2O+EHS group and the EHS model group except that the inflammatory index in the RFP+EHS group was improved. Compared with the EHS model group, the withdraw reflex to pain and righting after RFP pretreatment in the RFP+EHS group were significantly improved (righting score: 1.4±0.2 vs. 0.3±0.2, withdraw reflex to pain score: 1.0±0.1 vs. 0.2±0.1, both P < 0.05), the muscle strength was significantly increased (N: 13.0±0.5 vs. 8.2±0.6, P < 0.01). The levels of pro-inflammatory factors in the RFP+EHS group were significantly lower than those in the EHS model group [TNF-α (ng/L): 67.5±9.2 vs. 194.3±13.7, IL-6 (ng/L): 360.0±54.1 vs. 981.2±84.4, IL-1β (ng/L): 33.7±9.0 vs. 88.7±6.1, all P < 0.01], while the level of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 was higher than that in the EHS model group (ng/L: 208.7±10.5 vs. 103.7±7.0, P < 0.01). The degree of intestinal mucosal injury in the RFP+EHS group was less severe than that in the EHS model group, and the Chiu score and DAO were significantly lower than those in the EHS model group [Chiu score: 1.5±0.2 vs. 3.8±0.0, DAO (U/L): 83.7±6.7 vs. 128.7±10.5, both P < 0.05]. Conclusions:High temperature training can damage the intestinal barrier function, and induce endotoxemia and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in rats. Oral prophylactic RFP can protect the intestinal barrier function, alleviate SIRS, and promote the recovery of basic nerve reflex and muscle strength after the occurrence of EHS in rats.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the expression of (epidermal growth factor receptor-2,HER-2) and clinicopathological features and survival of colorectal cancer.Methods From Jan 2005 to Dec 2015,all colorectal cancer cases were enrolled that the expression levels of HER-2 were detected in Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital.Clinicopathological features of the tumors and survival of the patients were analyzed.Results A total of 1 463 cases were collected in 10 years,including 711 cases (48.6％) of HER-2 (-),470 cases (32.1％) of HER-2 (+),249 cases (17％) of HER-2 (+ +),and 33 cases (2.3％) of HER-2 (+ + +).Correlation analysis shows that the expression levels of HER-2 were significantly correlated with tumor differentiation and the depth of tumor invasion(T stage),but not correlated with gender,age,tumor location,N stage,M stage,TNM stage and overall survival,and disease-free survival.Conclusion The expression of HER-2 may be related to tumor differentiation and growth infiltration,but it cannot be used as a predictor of prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer.

Objective:To understand the current practice of preoperative bowel preparation in elective colorectal surgery in China.Methods:A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted through wechat. The content of the questionnaire survey included professional title of the participants, the hospital class, dietary preparation and protocol, oral laxatives and specific types, oral antibiotics, gastric intubation, and mechanical enema before elective colorectal surgery. A stratified analysis based on hospital class was conducted to understand their current practice of preoperative bowel preparation in elective colorectal surgery.Result:A total of 600 questionnaires were issued, and 516 (86.00%) questionnaires of participants from different hospitals, engaged in colorectal surgery or general surgeons were recovered, of which 366 were from tertiary hospitals (70.93%) and 150 from secondary hospitals (29.07%). For diet preparation, the proportions of right hemicolic, left hemicolic and rectal surgery were 81.59% (421/516), 84.88% (438/516) and 84.88% (438/516) respectively. The average time of preoperative dietary preparation was 2.03 days. The study showed that 85.85% (443/516) of surgeons chose oral laxatives for bowel preparation in all colorectal surgery, while only 4.26% (22/516) of surgeons did not choose oral laxatives. For mechanical enema, the proportions of right hemicolic, left hemicolic and rectal surgery were 19.19% (99/516), 30.04% (155/516) and 32.75% (169/516) respectively. Preoperative oral antibiotics was used by 34.69% (179/516) of the respondents. 94.38% (487/516) of participants were satisfied with bowel preparation, and 55.43% (286/516) of participants believed that preoperative bowel preparation was well tolerated. In terms of preoperative oral laxatives, there was no statistically significant difference between different levels of hospitals [secondary hospitals vs. tertiary hospitals: 90.00% (135/150) vs. 84.15% (308/366), χ 2=2.995, P=0.084]. Compared with the tertiary hospitals, the surgeons in the secondary hospitals accounted for higher proportions in diet preparation [87.33% (131/150) vs. 76.78% (281/366), χ 2=7.369, P=0.007], gastric intubation [54.00% (81/150) vs. 36.33% (133/366), χ 2=13.672, P<0.001], preoperative oral antibiotics [58.67% (88/150) vs. 24.86% (91/366), χ 2=12.259, P<0.001] and enema [28.67% (43/150) vs. 15.30% (56/366), χ 2=53.661, P<0.001]. Conclusion:Although the preoperative bowel preparation practice in elective colorectal surgery for most of surgeons in China is basically the same as the current international protocol, the proportions of mechanical enema and gastric intubation before surgery are still relatively high.
