Balantidiosis is a disease infected with Balantidium coli,and swine is the main infection source. The infection of B. coli may cause diarrhea,extra intestinal infection and co?infection with other pathogens and even intestinal necrosis. Strength?ening the manure management of both human and livestock,paying attention to personal hygiene and labor protection,and time?ly treatment of the patients are the main measures to control balantidiosis.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of human dental pulp stem cells-conditioned medium(HDPSCs-CM)on the osteogenic differentiation of human dental follicle stem cells(HDFSCs) in vitro.Methods:HDFSCs were in vitro cultured,purified and identified.CCK-8 assay was applied to evaluate the HDFSCs viability after 7 days cultured by HDPSCs-CM;the morphological changes of HDFSCs were observed;the osteogenic differentiation was studied by alkaline phosphatase(ALP) staining and alizarin red staining.The mRNA expression of POSTN,Col-Ⅰ,ALP,BSP and OPN was detected by Real-Time PCR.Results:Induced by HDPSCs-CM,HDFSCs exhibited several characteristics of cementoblast or osteoblast lineages.In the induction group the viability of HDFSCs was inhibited(P<0.05 or P<0.01),ALP staining was stronger and there were more mineralized nodules,the expression levels of POSTN,Col-Ⅰ,ALP,BSP and OPN were upregulated(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion:HDPSCs-CM can promote the osteogenic differentiation of HDFSCs.

Objective To summarize our experience in the diagnosis and management of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES). Methods This is a retrospective study on 10 patients (13 limbs)who were admitted for symptoms of claudication and the diagnosis of popliteal entrapment was established either with angiography,computed tomographic angiography,magnetic resonance angiogram or during the operation in recent 7 years (2002-2009).All patients were treated surgically. Results The mean age at the time of presentation was (25 ±7) years old (range,17-41 years).Claudication was the most frequent presenting symptom (12 limbs).The surgical procedures consisted of simple musculotendinous dissociation in 1 limb,thrombectomy with balloon angioplasty in 1 limb,musculotendinous dissociation plus thromboendarterectomy with autogenous saphenous vein (ASV)patch angioplasty in 2 limbs,ASV graft interposition or bypass in 6 limbs and graft interposition or bypass in 3 limbs.At a median follow-up of (35 ±27) months (range,2 months-7 years),there were no intraoperative or long-term postoperative complications and all the patients were cured. Conclusions PAES is an unusual but important cause of peripheral vascular insufficiency especially in young patients.A combined approach is necessary for diagnosis.Popliteal artery release alone or with vein bypass or reconstruction is the treatment of choice.

Objective To evaluate the effects of external substance P (SP) on scalding wound healing and neovascularization.Methods Eighty-four Wistar rats were induced into diabetic models by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ), and deep partial thickness scalding wound on the back with diameter of 2 cm was prepared. Rats were randomly divided into experiment group (n=42, local injection of SP) and control group (n=42, local injection of PBS). The process of wound healing was observed, and the percentages of wound closure were calculated on D0, D1, D3, D7, D10, D14, D21 post scald. The expression of CD31, surface marker of neovascular endothelial cells, was detected within the wound sites by immunohistochemical staining, and the microvessel density was calculated. Results The percentage of wound closure in experiment group was significantly higher than that in control group on D7 post scald [(42.69±3.26) % vs (30.24±1.17)%, P<0.01]. Immunohistochemical detection revealed that the expression of CD31 and the microvessel density in experiment group were significantly higher than those in control group from D7 post scald (P<0.01). ConclusionExternal SP may promote scalding wound healing in diabetic rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with upregulation of expression of CD31 and acceleration of neovascularization.

As CD40 transduces activation signals involved in inflammatory and immune disorders, we explored the expression and response to CD40 engagement in human glioma cell lines in this study. The CD40 expression in BT-325 and U251 cells was flow cytometrically detected. The cells were incubated with srhCD40L for 72 h to assess its effects on cell growth in vitro. TNF-α expression was quantified by real-time PCR, and protein expression was analyzed by ELISA. The I-κb mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. I-κB expression decreased after stimulation with 1 μg/mL srhCD40L, but it was upregulated after the cells were pretreated with CD40 antibody. srhCD40L significantly inhibited the proliferation of the CD40+ human glioma cells. The stimulation of CD40+ glioma cells with soluble CD40L (CD154) up-regulated the expression of TNF-α at both mRNA and protein levels. We are led to conclude that CD40L/CD40 could inhibit human glioma cells through I-κb signaling pathway. Interferon-γ can augment CD40 expression and the inhibitory effect of CD40 ligand on cell growth in vitro. These results suggest that srhCD40L may benefit the therapy strategy of glioma.

Background With the changes of diet and living style,the diabetes has become the major diseases affecting human health.Diabetic cataract is a common complication of diabetes. Objective The present study was to investigate the difference of lens proteomics between diabetic cataract and age related cataract using two dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry in order to postpone happening of diabetic cataract and offer the effective approach to the prevention and therapy of diabetic cataract. Methods The lenses were obtained from 8 diabetic patients and 12 age-related cataract patients during the surgery to extract the protein by lysis and centrifugation.The lens proteins were separated using immobilized pH gradients 2-DE.Image analysis was carried out using PDQuest Advanced-8.0.1 software package.Significant difference of the crystallines was identified by matrixassisted laser adsorption/ionization time of-flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and peptide mass fingerprint combined with protein database. Results The maps of 2-DE showed that lens proteins of diabetic cataract and age related cataract were in the section of pH 5-9 with the relative molecular weight 14000-97000;while relative molecular weight of more abundant crystalline was localized at 20000-31000.About 3 differential protein spots were detected by image analysis software.Two crystallines,αB and βB1 crystallin,were identified using MALDI-TOF-MS.Conclusions Proteomic analysis of lens can be accomplished and the proteins can be well separated,moreover,differential proteins can be analyzed using 2-DE and mass spectrometry between diabetic cataract and age related cataract.These results indicate that αB and βB1 crystallin proteins accelerate the development of diabetic cataract.This technique offers a new avenue for clarity of lens proteins of diabetic cataract other than age related cataract.

ObjectiveTo study the effects of the Behavior Therapy on outpatient with schizophrenics in relieving symptoms, insight, and attitude to treatment. Methods96 outpatients with schizophrenia were randomly assigned to the Behavior Therapy group and the control group. The Behavior Therapy courses were given to the Behavior Therapy group for six months. All the subjects were evaluated with Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS) and Insight and Therapeutic Attitude questionaire(ITAQ). Results94 cases completed the trial. The scores of PANSS, the Negative Subscale, the General Psychopathology Subscale of the Behavior Therapy group decreased significantly after treatment(P<0.01). The score of ITAQ of the Behavior Therapy group increased significantly after treatment(P<0.01).The reductions of PANSS, the Positive Subscale, the Negative Subscale, the General Psychopathology Subscale and ITAQ between two groups were significant different(P<0.05-P<0.01). Conclusions The Behavior Therapy may play an important role in augmenting optimal pharmacotherapy for outpatients with schizophrenia and it is effective in improving symptoms, insight and therapeutic attitude.

Objective To describe the prevalence of deliberate self-harm (DSH) and suicidal behaviors (SIB) as well as the relationship between them in a college student population.Methods A total of 4063 medical students were selected under the cluster sampling method in Anhui province.Data were analyzed by Pearson Chi-square and logistic regression.Results A total of 4063 ( 13.4％ )students reported that they had deliberately harmed themselves during the past 12 months.The acts of DSH with 1 and more than or equal to 2 times occurrence accounted for 3.7％ and 9.6％ among all the respondents.The act of DSH was significantly higher among boys than that among girls.Rates of suicide ideation,suicide plan,attempted suicide and SIB in the last year were 4.5％,1.4％,0.6％ and 4.9％,respectively.However no statistically significant difference was found in different sex.Students in the DSH group that with SIB were found to have lower positive coping levels (OR=0.5,95％CI:0.3-0.8),getting less support from fricnds (3-5 vs.less than or equal to 2:OR=0.6,95％CI:0.3-0.9;more than or equal to 6 vs.less than or equal to 2:OR=0A,95％CI:0.2-0.8),with higher negative coping levels (OR=2.1,95％CI:1.2-3.7),having more serious depressive symptoms (OR=2.9,95％ CI:1.6-5.2) and anxiety symptoms (OR=2.2,95％ CI:1.2-3.8),having more serious sleeping problems (OR=1.7,95％CI:1.1-2.8 ) and perceived fat (fat vs.moderate:OR=2.0,95％CI:1.1-3.6) than the DSH group without SIB.The rates of SIB in students with DSH behavior were significantly higher than those in students without those behaviors (OR=4.7,95％ CI:3.5-6.4).Psyehosocial variables could attenuate the relationship between the DSH status and suicidal events (OR=3.3,95％CI:2.4-4.5).The DSH frequency exhibited a curvilinear relationship to SIB (OR=3.1-10.0) and psychosocial variables also attenuated this relationship (OR=2.4-5.9).Conclusion It was well known that SIB was not a suicidal gesture but our findings suggested that the presence of DSH might trigger the suicidal attempts.
