OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of internal fixation with screw through femoral epiphyseal plate on growth in- hibition via an experimental study.
METHODSForty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups and 10 rabbits in each group. Epiphyseal plate was injured by penetrating of screws, and the size of damage area was controlled by changing the number of threads. Group A: blank group; group B: injury area accounted for 4% of the epiphyseal plate; group C: injury area accounted for 6%; group D: injury area accounted for 8%. The internal fixation was removed after 2 weeks, and the results were observed with X-ray film for 4 groups to judge the complications such as early closure of epiphyseal.
RESULTSIn each group, there were no statistical differences in the length of the femoral neck, the diameter of femoral neck, the diameter of the femoral head, and the epiphyseal plate closure time. The growth speed of the length and diameter of the femoral neck, as well as the diameter of femoral head, were quicker on the early phase, and the speed was slowest when the epiphyseal plate was being closed.
CONCLUSIONThe injury area of epiphyseal plate under 8% is safe for its growth. Because no evidences demonstrate the growth inhibition of epiphyseal plate, the screws can be used for rabbit epiphyseal plates.

Objective:To investigate the current status of social support and mental health among residents in Weifang and analyze the impact of social support on mental health,thus to provide reference for improving the mental health status of residents.Methods:A sample of 6174 residents in Weifang was investigated using Social Support Rate Scale (SSRS) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10).The data was analyzed statistically with Chi-square test,Kruskal-Wallis test and Multiple Logistic regression analysis.Results:About 0.3% residents in Weifang reported low social support and 93 % residents showed good mental health.Gender,age,social support level and 3 dimensions of social support were associated with mental health respectively in the correlation analysis.In the multiple analyses,social support,subjective support,availability of support and mental health were positively correlated in the model of Good mental health and General mental health.Conclusion:The mental health status of residents in Weifang is not optimistic.The social support level has beneficial effect on mental health starus.Subjective support,objective support and the utilization of these supports imposes different degrees of inflnence on mental health status.

Objective:To understand cognition and satisfaction degree of mental health service among residents in Weifang,and provide reference for further development of mental health work.Methods:6174 residents were selected with random sampling method and a cognition survey was conducted using a self-designed questionnaire.Among them,553 residents were selected to investigate their satisfaction with mental health service.Results:The residents have unscientific cognition on mental health service,and they did not understand the delivery of community mental health services.Residents who have received mental health service were more satisfied with informed consent and patient privacy protection,and had low satisfaction with the clinic environment and the charge of inspection items.Conclusions:To improve residents' cognition and satisfaction of mental health service,we should further perfect the professional mental health institutions and personnel recruiting,and forcefully carry out mental health education.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of Ezrin and ICAM-1 in gastric carci- noma.Methods The expression of Ezrin and ICAM-1 were examined by S-P immunohistochemistry assays in 78 ca- ses of gastric carcinoma.30 cases of nonmalignant tissue and 30 cases of normal stomach.The relationship between them and their pathological characteristics were analyzed.Results ①The expression rates of Ezrin and ICAM-1 were obviously higher in carcinoma group than that of nonmalignant group and normal group(P<0.01),in the lym- phatic metastasis group than that in non lymphatic metastasis group(P<0.05),and in T3.T4 group and than that in T1,T2 group(P<0.05).②The expression level of ICAM-1 was positively related with that of Ezrin(r=0.46. P=0.00).③The test of the expression of Ezrin and ICAM-1 simutaniously could obviously increase the sensitivity and specificy for detecting the metastasis of stomach malignant tumor(P<0.05).Condusion The over expression of Ezrin and ICAM-1 is related to the pathogenesis and invasion as well as metastasis of stomach carcinoma.The combined detection of two markers can obviously increase the sensitivity and specificy for predicting metastasis of stomach carcinoma.

Aim Paclitaxel(PTX)has shown an effect against human cancer. However, serious drawbacks hamper PTX clinical use.Overcoming paclitaxel limi-tations is one of the best approaches to enhance water solubility.Methods In this study,water-soluble pa-clitaxel prodrug was prepared,folic acid-polyethylene glycol-glutamic-paclitaxel (FA-PEG-Glu-PTX ) com-posed of folic acid (FA,target),amino acids (Glu, linker),and polyethylene glycol(PEG)in order to im-prove the solubilization and stability. The chemical structure and physicochemical property of prodrug were measured by LC-MS,solubility,drug release rate to e-valuate the antitumor activity and cytotoxicity of FA-PEG-Glu-PTX.MTT assays were conducted on MDA-MB-231,MCF-7,A549 and HELF cell lines.FA-PEG-Glu-PTX prodrugs were labeled with 5 amino flu-orescence visible fluorescent dye (5 AF ) for fluores-cence microscopy.Results The successful conjugation of FA-PEG-Glu-PTX was confirmed by LC-MS,and had better water solubility,release rate curve.In vitro studies indicated that foliate receptor(FR-α)mediated uptake of PTX-conjugated multi-small molecules carri-ers induced highly targeting ability,and antitumor ac-tivity,as well as reduced side toxicity effects of PTX. Conclusion FA-PEG-Glu-PTX has a good antitumor activity.

AIM: To investigate the relationship between CD200~+CK7~+ trophoblasts and the resorption of embryos in a poly (I∶C)-induced abortion model. METHODS: The status of CD200 expression was investigated in Balb/c?C57BL/6 and Balb/c?Balb/c mice as induced model of embryo-resorption by an i.p. injection of poly (I∶C). CD200 expression on CK7~+ cells from placentas was detected with flow cytometry. CD200~+ cells in placenta were observed with immunocytochemical staining. RESULTS: Both the percentage and absolute number of CD200~+CK7~+ cells were dramatically decreased by injection of poly (I∶C) in Balb/c?C57BL/6 (6.3%?6.2% vs 36.1%?9.3%, P

Objective To develop a sensitive,specific, simple and rapid quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) assay for detection of Staphylococcus aureus with SmartCycler.Methods According to the nuc gene sequences specific to S.aureus, a pair of primers and one TaqMan probe were designed. An internal amplification control (IAC) which is a chimeric double-stranded DNA constructed from a fragment of the Listeria monocytogenes hly gene flanked by the nuc-specific target sequences was added to the reaction system. This IAC was detected using a second TaqMan probe labeled with a different fluorophore. The performance of the nuc-IAC Q-PCR was evaluated using artificially contaminated drinking water and commercial UTH whole milk samples spiked with ATCC 6538.Results The nuc-IAC assay could be used reliably for detection with a sensitivity of 5 copies of linear plasmid DNA per reaction, 10 fg of genomic DNA in 62.5% of the reactions or 50 cfu/ml S.aureus cells with 50% probability. The quantification was linear (r~2≥0.998) over a 6-log dynamic range, with a PCR efficiency over 0.967. The 5×10~2 CFU per 25 ml mimic sample of drinking water or milk could be detected by this assay consistently and quantifiably.Conclusion The nuc-IAC Q-PCR assay for S.aureus is developed. It could not only be applied for the quantitative detection of S.aureus, but also prevent the false negatives and underestimations of contamination loads due to PCR failure.
