Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 ( TREM-1 ) is one of immunoglobulin superfamilies found recently.TREM-1 is a crucial molecule for the triggering and amplification of inflammatory response and promote the reduction of in anti-inflammatory factor by crosslinking reaction with its ligand after being activated,or increasing the level of transcription factor.This study shows that TREM-1 may be claimed as a marker of infection,and the blockade of TREM-1 may be a new approach to inflammatory diseases.This study summarizes its structure,signal transduction,expression,accommodation and clinical application.

Objective To detect human papilloma virus (HPV) and to determine its genotype in children with condyloma acuminatum (CA) in Weifang city,Shandong province.Methods Swab specimens were collected from the surface of lesions of 24 children with CA.PCR/flow-through hybridization assay was performed to detect HPV and determine its genotypes in these specimens.Results Among the 24 specimens,95.8％ (23/24) were positive for HPV.Of the HPV-positive specimens,87.0％ (20/23) harbored single type of HPV,and 13.0％ (3/23) multiple types of HPV.The most common genotype was HPV6(9/23),followed by HPV16 (6/23),HPV11 (5/23),HPV58 (3/23),HPV18 (2/23),and HPV53 (1/23).Conclusions HPV 6,16,11,58 and 18 prevail in children patients with CA in Weifang city,Shandong province.Additionally,the HPV genotypes in children patients are similar to those in their close contacts.

Peanuts, corn and other food products are prone to aflatoxins (AF). AF was listed as a human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), especially aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), as it is considered the most prevalent and toxic. China is a big peanut producer, so carrying out pollution investigation and risk assessment in peanuts and their products is crucial to formulate prevention measures, protect export trade and maintain health. This paper summarizes the AF pollution of peanuts and their products in the Huang-Huai-Hai Basin, Yangtze River Basin, Southeast Coast and Northeast region of China from 2015 to 2021, and the application of dietary AF exposure risk assessment methods, providing a basis for strengthening the supervision of AF pollution in peanuts and their products, and ensuring food safety.

BACKGROUND: To assess the balance function of post-stoke patients would be conducive to establish rehabilitative goal and to set up therapeutic plan.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between parameters of three commonly used measures and those of other functional evaluation for patients with post-stroke hemiplegia.DESIGN: Analysis of the relationship between parameters of balance rating scales.SETTING: At otolaryngology department and rehabilitative medicine department of the general military hospital.PARTICIPANTS: From September 2002 to July 2003, totally 57 patients with post-stroke hemiplegia, 45 males and 12 females, aged from 14 to 78years old, with the course of disease ranged from 0. 3 to 11 months, received rehabilitative treatment at rehabilitative department of the general military hospital, were selected to take part in the study. All were confirmed of internal carotid artery system lateral hemispheric disease.METHODS: Three balance measures, namely Berg balance scale, modified Balance subscale of the Fugl-Meyer test and Postural assessment scale for stroke patients were administered on 57 patients for evaluating their lower limb motor function, daily life capability and walking ability after rehabilitative treatments. The relationship between three measures was analyzed with Pearson-correlative analysis, and the relationship between three measures and lower limb motor function, daily life capability and walking ability were also investigated.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① relationship between three measures;② relationship between three measures and lower limb motor function, daily life capability and walking ability.RESULTS: The data from 57 stroke hemiplegic patients was analyzed without missing. ① Scores for Berg balance assessment, Fugl-Meyer balance rating scale and posture controlling scale for stroke patients was 46.70 ± 5. 15, 10. 26 ± 1.58 and 32.56 ± 2.06, respectively, and the scores of lower limb motor function in Fugl-Meyer assessment was 22. 35 ± 5.82,and moving and marching item in functional independence assessment 24.95 ± 5.2, 10 m maximum walking speed(49.06 ±24.68) m/s. The three measures were proved of significantly higher consistency( r = 0.613-0. 766,P ＜ 0.001 ). ② The three measures were also found to be obviously associated with the lower limb motor function, daily life capability and walking ability of patients with stroke( r = 0. 479-0. 718, P ＜ 0. 001 ).CONCLUSION: Berg balance assessment, modified Fugl-Meyer balance rating scale and posture-controlling scale have been proved of higher consistency and efficacy for assessing the balance function of post-stroke patients, thereby can be used as predictor for the balance functional outcomes,as well as the recovery of the lower limb motor function, daily life capability and walking ability of post-stroke patients.

Objective To explore the relationship between benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)and obesity. Methods The 109 elder men were divided into two groups: BPH group (n=59) and non-BPH group (n= 50). The blood samples were collected for the detections of prostate specific antigen (PSA), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin,androgen, estrogen, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and dehydroepiandrosterone(DHEA).The anthropometric indexes including height, body weigh, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were measured and calculated. The total prostate volume (TPV) were measured by transabdominal ultrasonography three times at least. Results The morbidity rate of BPH was significantly higher in obesity group and over weight group than in health control group (73.33% and 64.28% vs. 26. 67%, x2 = 13. 991 and 6. 836, both P＜0. 002). So was in central obesity group versus in health control group (71.19% vs.36.00%, x2 =12. 156, P＜0. 001). The waist-height index, waist circumference, body weight, BMI and hip circumference were significantly higher in BPH group than in non-BPH group [(0. 56±0. 05)vs. (0.52±0.06), (93. 6±8.8) cm vs. (87.0± 10. 1) cm; (72.6±9.7) kg vs. (64.5±9.3) kg;(25.7±3.4) kg/m2 vs. (23.1±2.9) kg/m2; (100.2±6.6) cm vs. (95.6±8. 1) cm; t=-3.3, -3. 65, -4.38, -4. 17 and -3.18, respectively, all P＜0.01]. The TPV was higher in obesity groupthan in normal group [ (40.8± 23.5 ) ml vs. (20. 1 ± 6.1 ) ml, t = - 2.82, P＜ 0. 002] and obviously higher in central obesity group than in non-central obesity group [(42.8±25.6)ml vs. (26. 9±11.2)ml, t= -3. 93, P＜0. 001]. The ratio of E2/TT and HOMA-IR were higher in central obesity group [(9. 06±4.36) and (2.81 ±2. 80)] than in non-central obesity group [(7. 38±3. 11) and (1. 55±0.76), t= -2.02 and -4.24, both P＜0. 05]. Inversely, the TT and SHBG were lower in central obesity group than in non-central obesity group [(4.54 ± 1.54) nmol/L vs. (5.20 ± 1.54) nmol/L,(45.8± 17.24) nmol/L vs. (59.6 ± 26.09) nmol/L, t = 2.16 and 2.79, both P＜ 0. 05]. Logistic regression analysis showed that waist circumference was a major factor affecting TPV (x2= 19.52, P=0. 000). The annual growth rate of TPV was significantly higher in obesity group and central obesity group than in health control group [(7. 14±8. 09)ml vs. (1. 49±5.14)ml, (7. 96±13.81)mlvs. (1. 35±5.36)ml, t=-2.19 and -3.28, both P＜0. 05]; The PSAD was significantly lower in central obesity group than in health control group [(0. 048±0. 036) vs. (0. 090±0. 093), t=2.02, P＜0. 05], and lower in obesity group than in health control group [(0. 052 ±0. 039) vs. (0. 091 ±0. 080), t= 3. 13, P＜0. 01]. Conclusions The occurrence of BPH is closely related to obesity,especially central obesity. Its mechanism may be related to sex hormone imbalance and the GH/IGF-1 axis disorders in obese patients.
