OBJECTIVETo study the effect of Shenqi Fuzheng Injection (SQFZI) on erythrocyte immune function in patients after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
METHODSTwenty patients ready for receiving CPB were randomly assigned to two groups, 10 in each group. Patients in the SQFZI group were treated with 250 mL SQFZI via intravenous dripping starting from 5 days before operation and after ending CPB once a day. Peripheral venous blood samples of all patients were collected at the time points of before anesthesia, and 6 h, 24 h, 72 h and 7 days after CPB, which were anticoagulated with heparin for dynamically detecting the changes of RBC-C3bRR and RBC-ICR.
RESULTSRBC-C3bRR and RBC-ICR in the SQFZI group were significantly higher at 6 h, 24 h, 72 h, and day 7 after operation than those in the control group respectively at the corresponding time points, and they restored to the normal levels at day 7, suggesting the erythrocyte immune function after CPB in the SQFZI group was superior to that in the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONApplication of SQFZI in the peri-operative period can significantly improve the hypo-immunological function of erythrocyte caused by CPB, and promote the recovery of erythrocyte immunity.

Objective To describe the characteristics of sexual debut among college students in China to provide appropriate sex education in that population. Methods An anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among 33 653 college students selected by multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method in 18 provinces and cities of China. Results The percentage of students who had initiated sexual intercourse before age 14 was 1.9%. Overall, male students (2.8%) were significantly more likely to have initiated sexual intercourse before age 14, than female students (1.1%). The percentage of students who had initiated sexual intercourse from age 15 to 18 was 6.4% in males versus 2.1% in females. while the rates of students who had initiated sexual intercourse after age 19 were 6.9% in males and 2.6% in females. The first sexual intercourse was significantly associated with parental educational attainment, geographic location and family structure. Students whose parents were relatively well educated, living in the western areas of the country China, or with nucleus/extensive families were more likely to have early sex in their puberties. Conclusion Sexual education should be strengthened especially in the western areas, and targeted on the students whose parents with relatively higher educational background or who were from extensive families.

OBJECTIVETo explore the therapeutic effectiveness of Ilizarov technique in treatment of infected tibial defects combined with overlaying skin defects.
METHODSTwenty-one cases with infected tibial defects combined with skin defects were treated between 2001 and 2008 includeing 18 males and 3 females with an average age of 31 years ranging from 19 to 43 years. The length of bone defect ranged from 3 to 13 cm (means 6 cm). Skin defect area was from 3 cm x 3 cm to 6 cm x 10 cm; 11 cases combined with drop foot, 5 cases with arthrocleisis of knee. Preoperative X-ray of the affected limb was performed and zone of skin necrosis was marked, then the point and length of osteotomized bone, and scope of bone and soft tissue need for removing were determined. The internal fixation were removed. Opening irrigation, vacuum sealing drainage (VSD), and dressing changing were appllied. The skin was fixed with Kirschner wire and bone was transferred with Ilizarov technique in all patients. The lengthening of bone and skin was carried out for 4 to 7 days after surgery, 1/6 to 1/4 mm once, 4 to 6 times a day. The clinical effectiveness was determined mainly through wound and lengthening of skin.
RESULTSAll patients were followed up for from 6 to 62 months (means 49.5 months). Fourteen of 21 cases received one stage treatment, there was still secretion from end of bone in 3 patients whose bone healed after debridement, the other 4 patients were cured via trimming end of bone and compression fusion. The defects of bone were extended to full length in 18 patients. Abutting end was slightly absorbed and became rattailed in 2 cases, there was lack of blood supply to abutting ends in one patient who was cured via bone graft from iliac bone. Skin defects was cured in 18 patients with one stage treatment, the other 3 patients were cured after infection was controlled. The deformity of drop foot were corrected in 11 patients, and function of knee was improved in five patients. The external fixator was removed at 1.2 to 2.6 years after surgery. At last, bone infections were cured, defects of bone and skin recovered in all patients.
CONCLUSIONOne stage treatment of infected tibial defects combined with skin defects using Ilizarov technique has minimal invasion with less complex surgeries, could reduce the time and expense of treatment.

Objective To explore the sensitivity and the molecular mechanism of cisplatinresistance ovarian cancer cell line C13 to proteasome inhibitors and the combination with cisplatin. Methods After different treatments, methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was applied to examine the cell viability, annexin-V/propidium iodide(PI) apoptosis detection kit was used to determine the apoptosis rate of different groups, western blot assay was introduced to evaluate the expression levels of Fas-associated death domain-like interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme inhibitory protein (cFLIPs), and the activity of caspase-8 was examined. Results MTT assay shown that the cell viability ratios of combination group at serial time points from 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 hours were ( 56.0 ± 8.4 ) %, (44.7 ± 7.3 ) %, ( 33.7 ±11.2) %, (27.6 ± 8.0) %, (27. 6 ± 7.6) % and (28.1 ± 2.4) %, which were much lower than those of cisplatin group (P <0.05). After treated for 24 hours, apoptosis rates of cisplatin group, bortezomib group and combination group were ( 16.7 ± 1.7) %, (23.4 ± 2.1 ) % and (26.9 ± 1.6) %, respectively. The rate of combination group was much higher than that of non-treated group and that of cisplatin group or bortezomib group ( P < 0.05 ). Western blot assay showed the changes of expression levels of cFLIPs, which were downregulated seriously after cisplatin, bortezomib or combination treatment [ (43.2 ± 2.3 )% vs( 75.7 ± 3.0)%vs (67.9 ± 2.1 ) %, P < 0.05 ]. The caspase-8 activity of combination group was (5.6 ± 1.6) folds than that of non-treated group, which was higher than those of other two groups [ ( 2.3 ± 1.0) and (4.2 ± 0.9 ) folds,P < 0.05 ]. Conclusions The tumor cell lethal effect of cisplatin could be increase significantly by the combination application of proteasome inhibitors, bortezomib. And the cFLIPs/caspase-8 signaling pathway may be play an important role in the molecular mechanism of the combination treatment.
