Objective To investigate the effect of interferon alfα-2b on the ultrastructure and Caspase-3 levels in villus in early pregnancy with bacterial vaginal disease (BV). Method Early pregnant women were divided into two groups. The treated group included 25 early pregnant women with BV who chose to have an early termination and were treated with rhINFα-2b. The controling group included 30 early pregnant women without any genital tract infectious diseases. The caspase-3 levels in trophocytes were detected by immunochemistry and the ultrastructural changes were observed in villus by transmission electron microscopy. Result (1)There was no apparent difference of ultrastructural changes between the two groups. (2)There was no statistical significance of the levels of caspase-3 between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The excessive apoptosis do not occur in the trophocytes when treated with INFα-2b.

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has been increasing rapidly worldwide in recent years, along with more attention to heredity and genetic polymorphism of diseases.The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is the most common genetic variant in the human genome, which can influence gene expression, transcription, translation and modification, and has become one of the important causes of disease susceptibility.Not only is uric acid related SNP susceptible to hyperuricemia and gout, but also plays an important role in the circulation, respiration, and nervous system diseases.Therefore, the present paper reviews the relationship between uric acid related SNP and clinical diseases in order to bring a new perspective on prevention and treatment.

Objective To observe the changes of red blood cell distribution width, mean platelet volume and cardiac troponin I in patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes, and to evaluate the value for early diagnosis by using ROC curve. Methods 191 patients with ACS and 206 patients with the chest pain syndromes non-ACS were selected in this study. Electrocardiogram,blood routine,creatinine, LDL-C and cardiac troponin I were determined within six hours after hospitalized,meanwhile the feature of ROC curves was observed. Results There was no significant difference between ACS group and non-ACS group about red blood cell, hemoglobin, platelet,creatinine and LDL-C［(3.82±0.57)×1012/L,(101.3±3.3)g/L,195（98.6-334.8）×109/L,69（45-120）μmol/L,(2.95±0.85)mg/dl vs (3.89±0.50）×1012/L,(103.5±3.7)g/L,201（135.2-346.9）×109/L,71（49-100）μmol/L,(2.82±0.75)mg/dL］ (P＞ 0. 05). Red blood cell distribution width, mean platelet volume and the cardiac troponin I in ACS group［13.70(12.00-15.20)%,9.4（7.42-12.31）fL,(5.63±1.39)μg/L］ were significantly higher than that of non-ACS group［12.60（11.20-13.83）%,8.2（6.24-10.97）fL,(0.04.±0.01)μg/L］ (P＜0.01) .The area under ROC curves of red blood cell distribution width,mean platelet volume and cardiac troponin I were 73.5%, 78.8%, 98.1% respectively, while the best cut-off value was 13.15%, 12.45 fL, 0.06 μg/L respectively. Conclusions The combination using of red blood cell distribution width andmean platelet volume and cardiac troponin I and other conventional cardiac markers might be served as early diagnosis marker for the ACS patients admitted to emergency departments.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the relationship between symptoms and signs of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and the patients' quality of life (QOL).

METHODSA total of 492 TMD patients were included in this study. The clinical examination results were recorded using Fricton index of temporomandibular joint function. "Visual analog scale (VAS) evaluation of QOL disturbance" was designed to quantitate patients' QOL, to evaluate the degree that the patients QOL was affected.

RESULTSChewing, daily life and emotion among all 8 items of QOL were frequently affected by TMD, and joint clicking had the least influence on QOL. Intermittent closed lock had more severe interference with QOL than joint clicking only. Severe and moderate pain or limited mouth opening affected the QOL more severely than mild pain or mild limited mouth opening. The simple linear relationship between Fricton index and patients' QOL was poor (r < 0.4).

CONCLUSIONSPain is the most frequently seen symptom in TMD. TMD could affect patients' QOL, including both physical and social-psychological functions. The results suggest that the patients' QOL as well as TMD symptoms and signs should be considered in the management of TMD.

AIM: To quantitatively investigate transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) and its receptors in normal bulbar conjunctival tissues and pterygium tissues. METHODS: Thirty cases of pterygium patients were randomly selected to undergo surgical resection of pterygium lesion, and the normal margin of bulbar con-junctival tissues were collected as control. Gene expres-sion was detected quantitatively by the method of quantitative real-time PCR (QRT-PCR) analysis. RESULTS: The expression level of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 was 4.26×10-7±1.45×10-7 and 1.08×10-10±0.68×10-10 in normal bulbar conjunctival tissues, while 10.67×10-7±7.47×10-7 and 8.23×10-11±6.63×10-11 in pterygium tissues. The expression level of TGF-βRⅠand TGF-βRⅡwas 0.003015±0.0036 and 5.33×10-5±5.05×10-5in normal bulbar conjunctival tissues, while 0.000379±0.000281 and 1.002×10-5±9.04×10-6 in pterygium tissues. The expression level of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 in pterygium was elevated (P<0.01). TGF-β1 expression level in pterygium increase 2.9±2.8 times than in normal conjunctiva. TGF-β2 expression level in pterygium increase 7.5±1.4 times than in normal conjunctiva. The expression level of TGF-βRⅠin pterygium was significantly lower (P<0.05). The expression level of TGF-βRII in pterygium was significantly lower (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: QRT-PCR is an effective method to quantitatively detect gene expression in eye. The upregulation of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 and downregulation of their receptors expression may play an important role in the pathogenesis of pterygium, which is noteworthy further investigation in diagnosis and treatment of pterygium.real-time PCR; gene expression

Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of hyperthyroidism companied with thyroid carcinoma . Methods The clinical data of 11 cases of hyperthyroidism with thyroid carcinoma were retrospectively analysed. Results 9 of 11 cases were diagnosed preoperatively,and comfirmed by frozen section intra-operatively and underwent suitable operation. In the other two cases the final diagnosis was made by pathological examination postoperatively, and re-operation was performed on 1 case . All the patients were followed up for 1～16 years and neither hyperthyroidism nor thyroid carcinoma recurred. Conclusion It is difficult to make diagnosis of hyperthyroidism with thyroid carcinoma preoperatively. B mode ultrasonography may find some nodes in enlarged thyroid; but fine needle aspisation biopsg(FNA) has high false negative diagnostic rate. Intra-operative frozen section examination is important in the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism with thyroid carcinoma .

OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug susceptibility of clinical isolates in local region for using antibiotic reasonably. METHODS Totally 3 170 strains of clinical isolates were identified by API and Microscan and tested for drug resistance against antimicrobial agents by K-B method. WHONET5.4 was applied for analysis. RESULTS The commonly encountered bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (24.3%), Acinetobacter baumannii (10.9%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (10.4%), Escherichia coli (8.9%), and Staphylococcus aureus (SA,8.0%). In Gram-negative isolates, the resistance rate to meropenem was 19.7%, and to piperacillin-tazobactam was 26.5%. The incidences of E.coli and K. pneumoniae isolates producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) were 49.1% and 33.5%, respectively. In Gram-positive isolates, the susceptibility rate to vancomycin and teicoplanin both was 100.0%. The oxacillin resistant rates of SA and coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CNS) were 54.2.0% and 82.3%. CONCLUSIONS The production ratio of ESBLs and oxacillin resistance of bacteria in local region are high. It is important to promote the rational use of antimicrobial agents and take effective contaminant methods to reduce resistant rates of bacteria and dissemination of multi-resistant bacteria.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the isolation rate and four consecutive years′(2004-2007) antibiotic-resistance trend of extended-spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs) producing Escherichia coli in urinary tract infection and to provide evidence for anti-infection therapy.METHODS The anti-microbial susceptibility test results of E.coli cultured from the midstream urine of outpatients and inpatients of our hospital from 2004 to 2007 were collected.Whonet 5.4 statistical analysis software was used for analysis.RESULTS During four years,no apparent change has been shown about antibiotic resistant rate of ESBLs producing E.coli.The isolation rate of this kind of E.coli increased year by year from 31% to 44% and showed high resistance to third generation cephalosporins and quinolones antibiotics,but was 100% sensitive to imipenem.CONCLUSIONS With the ESBLs-producing E.coli increasing year by year,the antibiotic-resistance rate of E.coli isolated from urinary tract infection is apparently increased and thus screening of antibiotics sensitive to enzyme-producing bacterial is the key point when the empirical therapy especially when the third and fourth generation cephalosporins are ineffective.
