Objective To investigate the infectious features of rubella virus (RV) JR 23 strain in central nervous system (CNS). Methods RV JR 23 strain infected human primary cerebral neural cell culture in vitro and Balb/c mice, which were given dexamethasone and cytoxan before infection, via peritoneal injection. Viral pathogenecity was observed postinfection and RV antigens were detected in human cerebral neural cells by IFA and immunohistochemical method. Cerebral tissues were observed by HE staining and ABC methods postinfection.Results JR 23 strain didn't produce cytopathic effect (CPE). The proliferation of JR 23 strain reached highest titer of 10 3TCID 50 /ml at 72 h postinfection and decreased gradually. RV antigens were positive in cerebral neural cells, especially around the nuclei. Focal cytopathic areas were observed in cerebral cortical area and so did neuron necrosis around by gliacytes formed stellitorsis, neuronophagia and glial nodule. RV antigens could be seen in all cerebral area, but most localized in cortical area. Pathological features were basically the same among the infected groups. The infection rates of de xamethasone, cytoxan group and the group without intervention were 60%、90% and 50%, repectively. Conclusion RV JR 23 strain is not cytocidal to human neural cells and the pathological lesions induced by JR 23 strain in CNS of mice are mainly focal or dotted neuron necrosis.

Objective To investigate the pathological changes of gastric antrum mucosa after Helicobacter pylori eradication.Methods Total 180 cases who suffered from epigastralgia and took the endoscopic examination were randomly divided into two groups,one was Hp eradication group which included 98 cases and given anti-Hp medication treatment,and the other was control group which included 82 cases and given an expectant treatment.At the end of the study,they took reexamination by gastroscope and tests on Hp by Giemsa dyeing & rapid urase detection and on gastric antrum pathological changes by HE dyeing.Results In treatment group,atrophic gastritis as well as intestinal metaplasia decreased significantly after Helicobacter pylori eradication,but in control group,no change of atrophic gastritis was found while intestinal metaplasia aggravated.Conclusion The eradication of Helicobacter pylori is able to decrease atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia.

OBJECTIVE To explore the features,developing trend and factors of hospital infection in patients with iatrogenic injury.METHODS Retrospective surveys of hospital infections in 750 cases with iatrogenic injury were carried out in hospital between 2000 and 2007.RESULTS The incidence of hospital infection in patients with iatrogenic injury was 87.39%.Among them,hospital wound infection was the highest(87.39%),the second one was cavity infection(8.98%).The leading causative microorganisms were Gram-negative bacteria.CONCLUSIONS It is imperative to make effort to decvease the morbidity of hospital infections.We hope that the iatrogenic injury can be brought into the category of public health as soon as possible to enhance the medical care service and secure safty and health of the patients.

Objective To evaluate the application of nutritional risk screening in children hospitalized in general surgery department,in order to provide the basis for selecting the screening tool.Methods Nutritional risk screening was performed on 123 children hospitalized in the general surgical department by using the Assessment of Malnutrition in Paediatrics (STAMP) and Paediatric Yorkhill Malnutrition Score (PYMS).The malnutrition prevalence based on the World Health Organization (WHO) child growth standards(WHO standards) was evaluated.The data of hospital stay and total hospital expenses were recorded and analyzed.Results By using the STAMP and PYMS,76.4％ (94/123 cases) and 85.4％ (105/123 cases) of the patients had low-moderate nutritional risk,23.6％ (29/123 cases) of the patients and 14.6％ (18/123 cases) had high nutritional risk,respectively.The malnutrition prevalence was 17.9％ (22/123 cases) based on WHO standards.Children with high nutritional risk screened by STAMP,PYMS and malnutrition evaluated by WHO standards had significantly longer hospital stay(days) and higher total hospital expenses(yuan) compared with those in low-moderate nutritional risk or non-malnutrition patients,and the differences were statictically significant (hospital stay:STAMP:M =8.50 ＞ 7.00,Z =-2.608,P =0.008;PYMS:M =8.00 ＞6.25,Z =-2.761,P =0.006;WHO standards:M =8.25 ＞6.75,Z =-2.812,P =0.005.Total hospital expenses:STAMP:M =4 970.46 ＞ 2 939.07,Z =-2.913,P =0.004;PYMS:M =5 486.57 ＞ 3 294.96,Z =-3.024,P =0.002;WHO standards:M =5 515.87 ＞ 3 170.04,Z =-3.098,P =0.002).According to WHO standards,the sensitivity,specificity,Youden index,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of STAMP and PYMS were 68.2％ vs.77.3％,86.1％ vs.99.0％,54.3％ vs.76.3％,51.7％ vs.94.4％,92.6％ vs.95.2％ respectively.Conclusion Both STAMP and PYMS can be used for nutritional risk screening in hospitalized children in general surgery department,while sensitivity and specificity of PYMS are better than those of STAMP.

OBJECTIVE To explore the situation of physical and mental health and related factors among voluntary blood donors in Anhui Province in order to provide scientific basis to the improvement of voluntary blood donation.METHODS Taking the method to study the situation of blood donors,and selecting five representative cities(the southern part of Anhui: Huangshan and Chaohu,the central part of Anhui:Hefei and the northern part of Anhui:Suzhou and Bozhou).Totally 978 blood donors were investigated by SRHMS and detected their health,behavior and knowledge.RESULTS There were 558(57.1%)first time donors,with 85.1% of higher educational level,and other 420(42.9%) donated blood more than two times,with 91.0% of higher educational level.They all were mainly students(78.32% vs 63.10%).The total equipartition score of volunteer blood donators on health was 347.95?43.92,it was 143.54?16.40 on physiological health,110.59?22.89 on psycho-health,and 94.51?13.78 on social health.CONCLUSIONS Nowadays the volunteer blood donors are mainly from the students and the people with higher cultural level in Anhui Province.We should strengthen the propaganda on the work of volunteer blood donation,especially in other Provincial areas and among people with other occupations.Establishing a permanent group of volunteer blood donation can ensure the transfusion safety from beginning.

Objective:To observe the effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) in osteoblast cells through an in vitro breast cancer cell and osteoblast cell co-culture system. Methods:The metastatic breast cancer MDA-MB-231 or MDA-MB-435 cells were co-cultured with osteoblast MG63 cells to establish an in vitro microenvironment of bone metastasis of breast cancer. After treated with CGRP(1?108 mol/L),OPG and RANKL mRNA and protein expressions in osteoblast MG63 cells were examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results:Expression of RANKL in osteoblast MG63 cells was up-regulated at both mRNA and protein levels when osteoblast MG63 cells were co-cultured with breast cancer MDA-MB-231 or MDA-MB-435 cells,while those of OPG in osteoblast MG63 cells were both down-regulated (P

Objective:To establish the quality standard for Kechuanning granules. Methods: A TLC method was used for the qualitative study on the main ingredients, Radix stemonae,ephedra and bitter almond. An HPLC method was used to determine the con-tents of ephedrine hydrochloride,pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and amygdalin. The separation of targeted compounds was performed on a Tech Mate C18-ST column (250 mm × 4. 6 mm,5 μm) . The mobile phase consisted of methanol(A) and 0. 1% phosphoric acid (B) with gradient elution at a flow rate of 1. 0 ml·min-1. The detection wavelength was 207nm and the column temperature was 35℃. Results:The spots in TLC were quite clear without any interference from negative control. The linear relationship of ephedrine hydrochloride,pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and amygdalin was 1. 826-182. 600μg·ml-1( r=0. 9997),1. 848-184. 815μg·ml-1 (r=0. 9997) and 2. 981-298. 069 μg·ml-1(r=0. 9996),respectively. The average recovery was 97. 00%,97. 40% and 98. 30%(RSD=3.7%,2.5%,1.6%)(n=9),respectively. Conclusion: The method is sensitive,accurate,simple and reproducible,which can be used for the quality control of Kechuanning granules.
