Objective To develop a new specie-specific nest PCR to diagnose the invasive aspergillosis and to estimate the detection of circulating galactomannan by sandwich ELISA in immunocompromised patients. Methods (1) To develop an animal model of IA and collect the whole blood and tissues from the animal model. To extract the DNA from the whole blood and perform nest PCR of the DNA ;To perform the nest PCR of the clinical blood samples from immunocompromised patients (2)To detect the circulating galactomannan from the immunocompromised patients samples by use of sandwich ELISA. Results (1) In animal model, the positive rate of nest PCR and blood culture were 77.8% and 16.7%;The sensitivity and specificity of nest PCR in animal model with invasive aspergillosis are 77.8% and 100%;(2) The sensitivity and specificity of nest PCR in immunocompromised patient were 100% and 83.3%;The sensitivity and specificity of sandwich ELISA in immunocompromised patient were 55.6% and 88.2%. Conclusions The positive rate of the nest PCR was higher than that of the blood culture in animal model. The nest PCR method has good sensitivity and specificity in both animal model and patients. It will be a promising method in diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis. The ELISA method will be helpful in diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of nateglinide treatment of newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes on the state of inflammatory response. MethodsThe clinical data of 74 newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes were retrospectively reviewed,and treated with nateglinide,before and after treatment,the fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial blood glucose 0.5h ( 0.5 hPG), 1 h postprandial blood glucose ( 1 hPG) ,2h postprandial blood glucose(2hPG) ,fasting insulin(FINS) ,0.5h postprandial insulin(0. 5hINS) ,postprandial 1h insulin( 1 bINS),2h postprandial insulin(2hINS),interleulin-2(IL-2) and C-reactive protein(CRP) levels were observed. ResultsAfter treatment,the FBG,0. 5hPG, 1hPG,2hPG, FINS,0. 5hINS, 1hINS,2hINS, IL-2 and CRP of patients were ( 8.0 ± 1.5) mmol/L,(12.0±1.8)mmol/L,(10.2 ± 1.3) mmol/L,(10.5 ±1.2) mmol/L,(168.2 ±11.5) pmol/L,(213.5±23.5) pmol/L,(197.0 ±21.5) pmol/L,(189.5 ±12.0) pmol/L,(14.0 ±1.5) μg/L, (13.5 ±1.5) mg/L,compared with( 10. 5 ± 1.0) mmol/L, ( 14. 5 ± 1.5) mmol/L, ( 12. 5 ± 1.4) mmol/L, ( 11.6 ±2.0) mmol/L,(180.7 ±12.0) pmol/L,(229.8 ±26.0) pmol/L,(218.5 ±23.0) pmol/L, (197.0± 14.5) pmol/L,(12.5 ±2.0) μg/L, (22.8 ±2.0) mg/L before treatment decreased significantly(t =11. 9293,9. 1785,10. 3561,4. 1115,6. 4696,4.0009,5. 8744,3. 4279,5. 2307,32.0006, all P ＜0. 05). There was no serious adverse events in treatment process. ConclusionNateglinide treatment of newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes could significantly improve the patient's inflammatory response state,and there was no serious adverse events in treatment process.

Objective To study the effective method of improving the diagnosis and treatment of blunt liver injury.Methods The clinical data of 135 cases with blunt liver injury hospitalized in Daxing District People' s Hospital from January 2000 to October 2010 were reviewed retrospectively.Results By standard grading of American Society of Trauma Surgery (AAST) in 1994,36 cases were grade Ⅰ,42 cases gradeⅡ,33 cases gradeⅢ,14 cases grade Ⅳ,10 cases gradeⅤ.Fifty-one cases were treated by non-operative therapy,among which 42 cases were crued,9 cases underwent operative surgery.Ninety-three cases were treated by operative therapy,seven cases died.The morbidity related to blunt liver injury was 5.19％.Conclusions Non-operative therapy may be used firstly in patients with stable hemodynamics,but close monitoring should be done for changes of the life signs.Timely and reasonable choice of time and the way of surgery is important to avoid complications and reduce the mortality rate.

Objective To study the molecular identification method of Candida species and lay the foundation of molecular diagnosis for deep candidiasis. Methods PCR was used to amplify the internal transcribed spacer region of ribosomal DNA from 11 type strains of 9 pathogenic Candida spp. and 39 clinical Candida isolates, and the products were digested with three types of restriction endonucleases (MspⅠ,DdeⅠand HaeⅢ). Results Five patterns of products with different molecular weights were obtained after amplification from 9 Candida spp., and the products were digested with MspⅠ, DdeⅠand HaeⅢ, producing 8, 5 and 4 unique band patterns, respectively. Conclusion PCR-RFLP is reliable, specific and useful for the identification of common pathogenic Candida species.

To look into the cited literatures in Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army, all citations, including its quantity, type, language and period, in journals from 1996 to 2000 was investigated. Results: The average quantity of citations was 4 59. The citations from periodical accounted for 95 62%. The citations in Chinese and English accounted for 99 64%.The citations from 1980 to 1999 accounted for 97 35%. The results suggested that the average quantity of citations was very little. The literatures of other languages and special citations should be used more.

To find out the situations of the authors who published articles in Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army in 1996～2000, the number of authors, types of collaborated articles, organizations where the authors work were investigated. The average number of authors per article was 4.64, the collaboration rate was 93 95%, most of the collaborated articles were writen by authors working in a same organization 69 54%, trans provincial collaborated articles accounted for 15 86%, collaborated articles in a same province and internationally collaborated articles accounted for 13 03% and 1 57% respectively. The results suggested that the average number of citations was very small, and the scope of contributions should be extended in order to offer more opportunities for younger authors and to increase international collaboration.

Objective To investigate the action of inorganic arsenic in the induction of DNA strand breaks in primary cultured human skin fibroblasts. Methods Sodium arsenate and sodium arsenite were used as test inorganic arsenics. DNA strand breaks were assessed by single cell gel electrophoresis assay (SCGE). Results Arsenate at 1～10 ?mol/L dose_dependently induced DNA strand breaks in cells. Arsenate at lower concentrations induced mainly degree I DNA strand breaks, while the proportion of cells with degree Ⅱ DNA strand breaks increased to 50% when treated with 10?mol/L arsenate,but no cells with degree ⅢDNA strand breaks were observed.Cells treated with 1?mol/L arsenite showed no significant increase in DNA strand breaks. At the concentration of 10?mol/L, however, arsenite induced DNA strand breaks with different degrees, and the apoptotic type DNA strand breaks were the major type. Conclusion Sodium arsenate mainly induced general type DNA strand breaks and sodium arsenite induced apoptotic type,beside general type of DNA strand breaks in primary cultured human skin fibroblasts. This could be explained by their different reaction modes with DNA, and further studies were needed.
