Journal of Third Military Medical University 2003;0(17):-
Objective To disclose the variant rule of HIV-1 vertical transmission by studying the differences of genotypes and quasispecies in the individuals with HIV-1 vertical transmission. Methods RNA was extracted from the plasma of the individuals of vertical transmission and C2-V5 DNA segment of HIV-1 env gene was acquired by RT-PCR. Purified DNA segment was inserted into T vector and transformed into Top10 Escherichia coli. Positive clones were acquired by blue-white screening and used as models in PCR. PCR products were analyzed by conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis (CSGE). The clones of major and minor quasispecies were sequenced. Results HIV-1 quasispecies in the mother of the first group were less complex than her child, and their quasispecies nucleotide sequences were highly homologous and of HIV-1 of C subtype. HIV-1 quasispecies in the mother of the second group were more complex than her child, and their quasispecies nucleotide sequences were highly homologous and of HIV-1 of AE subtype. Conclusion HIV-1 genetic subtypes are generally not changed in vertical transmission, but HIV-1 quasispecies could be selected in vertical transmission and screened by the new environment of the new host which may both induce the changes of dominative and minor quasispecies. We also find that complexity of HIV-1 quasispecies is associated with immune status of host.

Objective To explore the effect of Xiao Ban Xu, a compound Chinese traditional medicinal prescription, on the expression of collagenⅠand Ⅲ of keloid fibroblasts in vitro. Methods Six samples of keloid fibroblasts (KFB) and 6 samples of normal fibroblasts (NFB) entered the study as experimental and control groups, respectively. With the application of Xiao Ban Xu (10?g/ml), the fibroblast culture system and the ABC immunocytochemical staining method were used to investigate the expression of collagenⅠand Ⅲ of KFB and NFB. Results The density of the staining of collagenⅠand Ⅲ in the experimental group was much higher than that in the control group, with (7675 4?825 5 vs 2305 2?320 4 and 10595 2?1311 5 vs 2434 8?356 9; t =13 37 and 12 66, P =0 00004 and 0 00005) or without (11113 1?1304 9 vs 3519 6?236 0 and 11157 7?1300 3 vs 2626 5?426 3; t =14 42 and 13 47, P =0 00003 and 0 00004) the addition of Xiao Ban Xu. Compared with blank control group, the density of the staining of collagenⅠand Ⅲ was degenerated greatly in the experimental group after 48 hours of application of Xiao Ban Xu (7675 4?825 5 vs 11113 1?1304 9 and 10595 2?1311 5 vs 11157 7?1300 3; t =10 31 and 4 68, P =0 0001 and 0 0054). Furthermore, the inhibition ratios of collagenⅠwas 30 7%, and the one of collagen Ⅲ 5 1%, in the experimental group. Conclusions The expression of collagenⅠand Ⅲ of keloid fibroblasts in vitro may be significantly more intensive than the one of normal skin fibroblasts. It seems that the expression of collagenⅠand Ⅲ, especially collagenⅠ, in keloid fibroblasts and normal skin fibroblasts in vitro may be suppressed greatly by the application of Xiao Ban Xu.

[Objective]To analyze the causes of complication following percutaneous vertebroplasty and to find out the methods on its prevention and treatment.[Method]Complications of 140 patients (233 vertebral bodies) performed percutaneous vertebroplasty from August 2002 to July 2006 and long-term complications and its correlative prognosis after followed-up 7-52 months (average 28.4 months were observed and analyzed.[Result]Sixty-one patients of 140 cases showed complications (43.6%).Forty-five of the 61 patients with complications revealed with leakage of bone cement,2 with transient low blood pressure or lethargy,3 with dyspneic respiration or slight cough or chest discomfort,1 with subcutaneous herniation.In 12 patients complicated with leakage of bone cement,10 complained aggravation of pain,1 of radiating pain of back and low limb,1 with incomplete paraplegia. The 11 patients complicated with various postoperative pain induced by bone-cement leakage were complete recovery after treatment with anti-imflamatory analgetics orally for 3-7 days.One patient with incomplete paraplagia caused by leakage of bone cement demonstrated satisfactory walking function recovery but still remained slight disability of lower limbs after 26 months by treatment of laminectomy decompression,with drawing of bone cement combined with anti-biotics,dehydration agent,hormone,nerve-nourisling agent and 3-month acupuncture. Two patients with transient low blood pressure or lethargy were treated and recovery after fluid infusion and 30-60 oxygen taking. Three patients with dypneic respiration or slight cough or chest discomfort but without abnormality on radiographs were convalesced after treatment of fluid infusion,taking oxygen and anti-biotics for 3-5 days.The subcutaneous homotoma of 1 patient was absorbed 7 days later.Ten patients complicated with new adjacent vertebral body fracture 1-12 months postoperatively were healed after conservative treatment of PVP operation.[Conclusion]Complications after percutaneous vertebroplasty are not uncommon(43.6%).Leakage of bone cement is most common complication. Strict pre-operation plan and improving operation skill are the most important preventive measures.

Objective To explore the influential factors of hospital management teaching and to apply new plans to improve quality of teaching. Methods Questionnaire survey was conducted among 94 students majored in health management in Xuzhou Medical College to investigate student' learning behavior as well as contents, applying value, procedures, and teaching effects of the course. Data was put in by Epidata 3.02, described and analyzed by SPSS 18.0. Continous variables were ana-lyzed by t test and classified variables were analyzed by X2 test. Results 25.6%(24/94) students were not interested in this course. 61.7%(58/94) students thought that the course was highly correlated with profession. 56.4%(53/94) students thought that the course was valuable. 35.1%(33/94) students thought that the course was not good in combining theory with practice in teaching. 19.1%(18/94) stu-dents thought that the course was deficient in interactive teaching and teaching methods. 62.8%(59/94) students were satisfied with the teaching effect. Conclusions Main influential factors of hospital man-agement teaching are learning interest, curriculum evaluation and teaching evaluation. To improve quality of hospital management teaching, it is necessary to communicate the importance of the course and to apply new teaching plans to arouse the interests of students.
