Objective To explore the effect of treadmill running at different intensities on three-dimensional structure of rat subchondral bones.Methods A total of 24 female Wistar rats were randomly assigned into a sedentary (SED) group,a low-intensity running (LIR) group,a medium-intensity running (MIR) group,or a high-intensity running (HIR) group,each of 6.Rats in LIR,MIR and HIR groups underwent treadmill running exercises with respective protocol,while rats in SED group serve as controls.Eight weeks later,all animals were sacrificed and their proximal end of tibia was examined using Micro-CT.Results Compared with SED group,in HIR group the subchondral plate became thicker with higher BMD and lower porosity,while trabecular bone became more and denser with higher BMD and a more plate-like architecture.LIR and MIR failed to result in considerable changes in the microstructure.Conclusion Treadmill running has an intensity-dependent effect on the three-dimensional structures of subchondral bones.High-intensity running can evoke significant structural changes in subchondral bones.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different intensities of treadmill running on changes in tibial bone composition in a rat model.Methods A total of 24 female Wistar rats were randomly assigned into 4 even groups (n =6) of free movement (FM),low-intensity running (LR),medium-intensity running (MR),and high-intensity running (HR).Rats in LR,MR,and HR groups underwent treadmill running with respective intensities (15 m/min and a 0° gradient,20 m/min and a 5° gradient,25 m/min and a 10° gradient) for 8 weeks (1 h/d and 5 d/week).FM group were taken as controls.The cortical and trabecular bone at the left tibial metaphysis was harvested after 8 weeks in each group for Raman spectroscopy to analyze mineral-matrix ratio,carbonate-phosphate ratio and crystallinity.Results In MR group,the mean mineral-matrix ratio was 4.883 ± 0.128 for cortical bone and 4.216 ±0.213 for trabecular bone,both significantly higher than those in FM group (4.113 ±0.132 and 3.773 ±0.122) (P ＜ 0.05).The mean mineral-matrix ratio was 3.222 ± 0.329 for trabecular bone in HR group,significantly lower than that in FM group (P ＜ 0.05).In MR group,the mean carbonate-phosphate ratio was 0.166 ± 0.013 for trabecular bone,significantly lower than that in FM group (0.177 ± 0.011) (P ＜ 0.05).In HR group,the mean carbonate-phosphate ratio was 0.195 ± 0.012 for cortical bone and 0.187 ± 0.010 for trabecular bone,both significantly higher than those in FM group (0.183 ± 0.014 and 0.177 ± 0.011) (P ＜ 0.05).In HR group,the mean crystallinity was 0.0521 ± 0.0012 for cortical bone and 0.0522 ± 0.0017 for trabecular bone,both significantly higher than those in the other 3 groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Running with medium intensity may increase bone mineralization and turnover,thus enhancing bone quality.However,running with high intensity may decrease bone mineralization and thus bone quality.

Objective To analyze the conformance between the quantitative and qualitative tests of hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs).Methods The chemiluminecence microparticle enzyme immunoassay(CMIA)was adopted to quantitatively detect anti-HBs and the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was adopted to qualitatively detect anti-HBs.Results With the CMIA as the reference experiment,Se ,Sp ,J ,PV+ and PV-of anti-HBs detected by ELISA were 0.95,0.53,0.48,0.74 and 0.88 respec-tively,k=0.51;when the absorbance was 0.400 9,Se ,Sp ,J ,PV+ and PV-were 0.50,0.95,0.45,0.93 and 0.43 respectively;for the samples exceeding the absorbance range of 0.104 3 -0.400 9,Se ,Sp ,J ,PV+ and PV-qualitatively detected by ELISA were 0.90,0.91,0.81,0.93 and 0.88 respectively,k =0.81.Conclusion Determining cutoff value with the absorbance value 0.105 as the ELISA detection result has the good detection sensitivity(Se =0.95)and the better negative prediction value(PV-=0.88),the negative anti-HBs detected by ELISA may be considered that the anti-HBs concentration was less than 10 mIU/mL without the conservation value;when the sample absorbance ≥0.400 9,the anti-HBs concentration is ≥10 mIU/mL,which may be considered to have the conservation value;the gray area range of anti-HBs detected by ELISA is mainly the absorbance of 0.105-0.400 9,the true anti-HBs level should be quantitatively detected.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) PET/CT examination to predict the prognosis of patients after colorectal cancer operation.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was adopted.The clinicopathological data of 80 patients with colorectal cancer who were admitted to the First Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March 2007 to October 2015 were collected.Eighty patients received first preoperative 18 F-FDG PET/CT examination and underwent operations under decisions of patients and their families,and then adjuvant chemotherapy were performed according to the patients' condition.Observation indicators included:(1) preoperative imaging examination,(2) situations of treatment and follow-up,(3) analysis of prognostic factors.The patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview once every 3 months within postoperative 1 year,once every half a year within postoperative 2 years and then once a year up to May 2016.The follow-up included tumor recurrence or progression and survival of patients.Tumor-free survival time was from postoperative day 1 to tumor recurrence or progression and death or end of follow-up.Overall survival time was from postoperative day 1 to death or end of follow-up.Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (Qn) and M (range).The optimal cutoff point of tumor-free survival of maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax),mean standardized uptake value (SUV),metabolism of volume (MTV) and total lesion of glycolysis (TLG) were investigated using the ROC curve analysis,and calculating area under the curve (AUC).The median was used as a cutoff point if there was smaller AUC.The Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were respectively used for survival analysis and univariate analysis,and COX proportional hazards model for multivariate analysis.Results (1) Results of preoperative imaging examination:results of PET/CT in patients with colorectal cancer showed there were circumscribed thickening of bowel wall,intestinal cavity strictures,fuzzy fat space around the some lesions,enlarged lymph node and 18 F-FDG uptake increased abnormally.The SUV SUV MTV and TLG of 80 patients were 11.83(4.26,35.42),7.06(2.38,20.92),20.47 cm3 (1.29 cm3,161.50 cm3) and 138.58 (14.17,857.89),respectively.ROC curve showed that the AUC of SUV SUV MTV and TLG were 0.453,0.448,0.815 and 0.749 [95％ confidence interval (CI):0.307-0.600,P ＞0.05;0.303-0.594,P ＞ 0.05;0.717-0.913,P ＜ 0.05;0.635-0.863,P ＜ 0.05],respectively.The median SUVmax (11.83) and SUV (7.06) were used as the cutoff points due to smaller AUC of SUVmax and SUV.The cutoff point of MTV was 18.79 cm3 (sensitivity =86.2％ and specificity =68.3％),and the cutoff point of TLG was 142.05 (sensitivity =75.9％ and specificity =70.7％).(2) Situations of treatment and follow-up:among 80 patients,13 underwent the radical resection of colorectal cancer and resection of liver metastasis and 67 underwent radical resection of colorectal cancer.Sixty-two patients received postoperative chemotherapy,including 45 with chemotherapy regimens of capecitabine and 17 with fluorouracil.Eighty patients were followed up for 41.8 months (range,6.5-109.1 months).During the follow-up,29 patients had tumor recurrence or progression,and 19 patients were dead.The median tumor-free survival time,1-,3-and 5-year tumor-free survival rates in 80 patients were 19.5 months (range,2.0-109.1 months),73.7％,36.3％ and 18.8％,respectively.The median overall survival time,1-,3-and 5-year overall survival rates were 31.8 months (range,3.3-109.1 months),76.3％,37.5％ and 20.0％,respectively.(3) Analysis of prognostic factors:results of univariate analysis showed that tumor location,N staging,M staging,clinical staging,postoperative chemotherapy,MTV and TLG were relative factors affecting postoperative tumor-free survival rate (HR =3.469,5.325,5.295,8.605,2.630,7.388,5.155,95％ CI:1.522-7.906,2.256-12.568,2.405-11.657,2.969-24.937,1.063-6.504,2.550-21.403,2.178-12.204,P ＜ 0.05).The tumor location,tumor differentiation,N staging,M staging,clinical staging,MTV and TLG were relative factors affecting postoperative overall survival rate (HR =2.697,2.814,3.083,2.916,4.193,5.450,4.876,95％ CI:1.011-7.197,1.121-7.062,1.166-8.149,1.140-7.454,1.386-12.678,1.581-18.786,1.727-13.766,P ＜ 0.05).In multivariate analysis,stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ of clinical staging and TLG≥ 142.05 were independent risk factors affecting postoperative tumor-free survival rate (HR =9.879,3.569,95％ CI:1.854-22.836,1.127-11.306,P＜0.05).The stage M1,stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ of clinical staging and TLG≥ 142.05 were independent risk factors affecting postoperative overall survival rate (HR =4.522,9.315,10.120,95％ CI:1.223-16.717,1.338-24.864,2.385-12.947,P＜0.05).Conclusion TLG through 18 F-FDG PET/CT examination is an independent prognostic factor affecting postoperative tumor-free survival rate and overall survival rate in patients with colorectal cancer after curative resection,and it has certainly reference value for prognosis.

0.05).However,the level of PRG-1 protein in cerebral cortex of experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group at 7 d(t=2.347,P=0.041).Conclusion The up-regulated expression of PRG-1 in cerebral cortex may be associated with the recurrent neonatal seizure-induced brain damage.

Objective To research the reality of ELISA testing results with negative anti-HBc and positive antiHBe.Methods CMIA was carried out to retest antiHBc and antiHBe of 105 samples which were initially tested to have negative antiHBc and positive antiHBe.Results Among the 105 samples retested by CMIA,there were three different results,positive antiH-Bc with positive antiHBe,negative antiHBc with negative antiHBe and positive antiHBc with negative antiHBe,whose pro-portions were 72.38%,21.91% and 5.71% respectively;the fasle negative rates of antiHBc were 78.10% in total and 93.33%,96.15% and 47.37% in 3 subgroup with S/CO 1.00~ 1.20,1.20~2.00 and 2.00~ 3.00,respectively;the true positive rates of antiHBe were 72.38% in total and 42.86%,88.14% and 56.25% in 3 subgroups with S/CO 0.00~0.10, 0.10~0.80 and 0.80 ~ 1.00,respectively.Conclusion HBV-M results with negative antiHBc and positive antiHBe by ELISA could give suggestive value and not reflect true information about antiHBc and antiHBe with three alternatives which would be obtained through retesting by a second assay.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of periodontitis on the expression of apoptosis-related proteins in pancreas of rats with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.Methods:Spontaneously type 2 diabetic OLETF rats were randomly divided into 2 groups:diabetes with or without periodontitis(diabetes group and combination group).LETO rats with the same germline and the same age but having normal glucose tolerance were randomly divided into control group and periodontitis group.20 weeks after periodontitis were established,all the rats were sacrificed and the pancreas were pathologically examined by HE staining.The expression of Bax,Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 in the pancreas islet were detected by immunohistochemistry staining and semi-quantitative analysis.Results:The expression of Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 in the pancreas islet was no significant difference between control and periodontitis groups(P=0.324,P=0.091,P=0.852).Compared with diabetes group,the expression of Bax and Caspase-3 in combination group showed a significant increase(P=0.000,P=0.000),and the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly decreased(P=0.022).Conclusion:Under healthy conditions,periodontitis has no effect on the expression of apoptosis-related proteins in rat pancreas islet.However,in rats with diabe-tes,periodontitis may affect the expression of apoptosis-related proteins in pancreas islet.

This paper aims to retrospectively analyze the nursing management of one-stop hybrid procedures and to sum up the clinical experience.The key point of successful implementation of nursing management of one-stop hybrid procedures lies in the layout of hybrid operation room,in the intraoperative nursing cooperation and the professional nursing personnel training,and in the establishment of a new talent training mode that contains flexible allocation mechanism of nursing human resources as well as short-term post rotation of professional nursing staff.The one-stop hybrid operation is a minimally-invasive procedure for the treatment of complex diseases.Scientific nursing management is the strong guarantee to ensure a successful “one-stop” hybrid operation.

To investigate the influence factors and effects of metal or dissolving microneedles on the formation and healing of skin microchannels, the pencil-shaped or conical stainless steel microneedles with different lengths, tip to tip space and base area, and the pencil-shaped dissolving microneedles with different tip to tip space were used. The microneedles were applied to the skin of epilatory mice and rats, and the effects of various microneedle parameters, application parameters, and animals on the microchannels were explored by the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and methylene blue staining. Visually observe the skin local irritation caused by the microneedles. The animal experiments were approved by the Animal Experiments Welfare and Ethical Committee of Zhejiang University of Technology. The application time of the microneedle should be maintained at 30 s or more. When the insertion forces were 2, 4, 8 N, and the TEWL initial values of the formed microchannels were 12.9, 33.0, 40.4 g·m^-2·h^-1, respectively. When the length of metal microneedle were 400, 600, 800 μm, and the TEWL initial values of the formed microchannels were 37.1, 40.4, 49.5 g·m^-2·h^-1, respectively. When the tip to tip space of metal microneedle were 400, 600, 800 μm, and the TEWL initial values of the formed microchannels were 33.2, 40.4, 55.8 g·m^-2·h^-1, respectively. When the base area of metal microneedle were 0.16, 0.35, 0.62 cm², and the TEWL initial values of the formed microchannels were 35.1, 40.4, 67.1 g·m^-2·h^-1, respectively. The effects of conical and pencil-shaped microneedles are similar. When the tip to tip space of pencil shaped dissolving microneedle were 400, 600, 800 μm, and the TEWL initial values of the formed microchannels were 49.8, 60.5, 70.5 g·m^-2·h^-1, respectively. The TEWL baseline values of animal skins of different genders and series are different, but the tendency of microchannels formation and closure is similar. Visual inspection revealed that the slight erythema caused by the microneedles subsided within 24 h. Microneedles of different parameters have different effects on microchannels. The microchannels closed within 24 or 48 h, and the skin local irritation caused by microneedle was mild.
