Objective To investigate the RHD gene polymorphism among the RhD negative Han individuals in Xuzhou.Methods The RhD antigen phenotypes were detected by routine serological techniques,and were identified with indirect antiglobulin test (IAT).The genotypes of RHD were detected by using sequence specific primer polymerase chain reaction(SSP-PCR).Results A-mong 110 RhD negative individuals,there were 5 cases carring RHD positive gene,47 cases carring RHD negative gene,22 cases carring RHD-CE(2-9)-D gene,17 cases carring DVI Ⅲ gene,2 cases carring weak D15 gene,and 17 carring DEL-1227A gene,re-spectively.Conclusion The RhD negative Han individuals present complex RHD gene polymorphism in Xuzhou region,and variant alleles such as RHD-CE(2-9)-D,DVI Ⅲ,DEL-1227A are given priority.

OBJECTIVE To acknowledge the important factor of bacterial infection of patients after tracheotomy. METHODS Thirty five patients′ lower respiratory tract sputa were sent to conduct bacterial culturing and determine their susceptibility to antibiotics and analyze results with statistics methods. RESULTS Total 8 main kinds of bacteria were isolated and drug resistance rate of Gram-positive cocci over 50 percent was erythromycin,that of(Gram-negative) bacilli included ampicillin,gentamicin,ciprofloxacin,and cefuroxime.The average time of antibiotics usage among 35 patients was(27?19.17) days and 12 kinds of antibiotics were used. CONCLUSIONS The time of usage of different antibiotics is an important factor to aggravate patients′ infection after tracheotomy.

Objective To explore a more effective way to enhance the clinical efficacy of cluster immunotherapy for perennial allergic rhinitis. Methods A total of 60 perennial allergic rhinitis patients were evenly randomized into treatment goup and control group. The two groups were given cluster immunotherapy, and the treatment group was given daily vesiculating moxibustion additionally . Before and after treatment, the scores of traditional Chinese medical constitution and the rhinitis quality of life ( QOL) were observed, and one year after treatment, the therapeutic effect and safety were evaluated. Results ( 1) One year after treatment, the treatment group showed better total clinical efficiency than the control group ( 96.67% vs 80.00%, P<0.05). ( 2) After treatment, the average scores of Qi deficiency constitution, yang deficiency constitution and special constitution were significantly lower than those before treatment in the treatment group ( P<0.01). The improvement of Qi deficiency constitution and yang deficiency constitution in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group ( P<0.05). ( 3) The total QOL scores and the scores of each dimension of QOL scale were improved in both groups, and the differences were significant except for the emotion dimension ( P<0.01). Insignificant differences were shown between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05). ( 4) Two cases had grade 1 general adverse reaction and 5 cases had local adverse reaction during cluster immunotherapy. During vesiculating moxibustion, 3 cases had blistering and the blistering disappeared after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion Daily vesiculating moxibustion combined with cluster immunity therapy is effective for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, showing good effect on improving Qi deficiency constitution, yang deficiency constitution and special constitution as well as the quality of life of the patients.

Objective To explore the gait features under dual task walking and its relationship of fear of falling in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods A total of 168 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes were selected.Patients were asked to complete the general information questionnaire,mini-mental state examination and fear of falling assessment.The gait parameters under normal and dual task walking were measured objectively and quantitatively by IDEEA,and the relationship between fear of falling and the gait parameters under dual task walking were explored.Results Elderly patients with type 2 diabetes were more prone to gait abnormalities in dual task walking,and compared with those who are not fear of falling,the gait performance in dual task walking decreased significantly in the patients with fear of falling,such as lower velocity and step length,higher variability of stride time(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Elderly patients with type 2 diabetes were more prone to gait disorders in dual tasking than normal walking.Normal walking test may overestimate the actual walking ability of patients.In contrast,dual task walking test can better reflect the challenges of daily life,and be closer to the patient walking patterns in real life,which might be better suited for assessing actual mobility of patients.In addition,elderly patients with type 2 diabetes who are fear of falling are more prone to gait abnormalities in dual tasking walking.

Obesity is increasingly prevalent globally, searching for therapeutic agents acting on adipose tissue is of great importance. Equisetin (EQST), a meroterpenoid isolated from a marine sponge-derived fungus, has been reported to display antibacterial and antiviral activities. Here, we revealed that EQST displayed anti-obesity effects acting on adipose tissue through inhibiting adipogenesis in vitro and attenuating HFD-induced obesity in mice, doing so without affecting food intake, blood pressure or heart rate. We demonstrated that EQST inhibited the enzyme activity of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), a therapeutic target of obesity in adipose tissue. Anti-obesity properties of EQST were all offset by applying excessive 11β-HSD1's substrates and 11β-HSD1 inhibition through knockdown in vitro or 11β-HSD1 knockout in vivo. In the 11β-HSD1 bypass model constructed by adding excess 11β-HSD1 products, EQST's anti-obesity effects disappeared. Furthermore, EQST directly bond to 11β-HSD1 protein and presented remarkable better intensity on 11β-HSD1 inhibition and better efficacy on anti-obesity than known 11β-HSD1 inhibitor. Therefore, EQST can be developed into anti-obesity candidate compound, and this study may provide more clues for developing higher effective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors.

Autologous ozonized blood transfusion(AOBT) is a therapy of re-transfusion of 100-200 mL of autologous blood after shaking and agitation with appropriate amount of oxygen-ozone in vitro. The oxidation of blood through the strong oxidation of ozone can enhance the non-specific immune response of the body, regulate the internal environment and promote health. This therapy has been increasingly applied in clinical practice, while no unified standard for the operation process in terms of ozone concentration, treatment frequency and treatment course had been established. This operation process of AOBT is primarily explored in order to standardize the operation process and ensure its safety and efficacy.
