Objective To explore the changes of CD4~+ cell and relevant cytokines from chronic hepatitis B patients and the significance was discussed. Methods The expression of CD4,CD8 and CD28 molecules on PBMC was detected with Flow Cytometry.The levels of IL-2,IFN-?,IL-4,IL-10 and IL-12 in serum were measured with ELISA,and the liver function test including serum ALT,SB,ALP and albumin was conducted. Results Three conditions of CD4~+ ratio from PBMC in 86 patients were observed,that showed lower,similar or higher comparing with normal controls.According to CD4~+T cell ratio,the patients were divided into 3 groups.In three groups,the changes of CD28 expression paralleled to that of CD4~+T cell ratio.Except IL-4,the level of cytokines related to viral clearance such as IL-2,IFN-?,IL-10 and IL-12 in patients was elevated compared with controls(P

BACKGROUND:Inactivated autologous replantation in repair of bone defects after bone tumor resection has obvious advantages. Boiling, alcohol soaking, cryogenic freezing, microwave, radiation and other methods have been used for inactivation; however, they al have shortcomings. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect and feasibility of high temperature and high pressure inactivated autologous bone in repair of large segmental bone defects. METHODS: Bone defect models of bilateral distal radius were established in New Zealand white rabbits. Bone defect at the right side was repaired by high temperature high pressure inactivated autologous bone via in situ replantation, as experimental group. Bone defect at the left side was repaired byin situbone replantation, as control group. The general observation of bilateral radius, X-ray detection, bone radionuclide scan test and histological examination were conducted at the 6th, 12th and 24th weeks after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At the 24th week after surgery, X-ray films showed normal bone healing in these two groups. At the 24th week after surgery, bone radionuclide scan test showed that in the experimental group, the radiation on the repaired bone segments was uneven; the concentrations of nuclear elements were stil slightly higher on both ends, but decreased in the middle area; and the concentration in the control group was closed to normal. At the 24th week after surgery, histological observation showed that there were a majority of trabecular bone tissues in the bone defect area of the experimental group, and some woven bone tissues were immature, which was similar to the performance of the control group at the 12th week after surgery; and normal bone was visible in the control group. These results demonstrate that high temperature and high pressure inactivated autologous bone can be used to repair long segmental bone defects, but can result in delayed bone healing.

Objective To evaluate antibacterial and antifungal effect of the composite chitosan artificial skin in vitro. Methods The standard strains were used in the experiment, including Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC27853) and Candida albicans (ATCC10231). Twelve agar plates were prepared for each standard strain, which were equally divided into the trial and the control groups. In the trial groups, 50 ?L composite chitosan dermal substitute was added to each prepared agar plate, two samples for each plate. In the control groups, composite collagen-gelatin dermal substitute was used. After the plates were incubated at 35 ℃ for 18 ~ 24 h, the antibacterial or antifungal rings of every sample were measured. Results The composite chitosan dermal substitute showed the antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC25922), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC27853) (P

Objective To rapidly isolate and culture sweat gland epithelial cells in vitro and to observe the characteristics of the cells. Methods The secretory coils of sweat glands were dissected and picked out under an anatomical microscope, then digested by collagenase. The harvested epithelial cells of sweat gland were observed for their growth characteristics and identified by immunohistochemistry. Results The cultured epithelial cells grew very well. About 3 weeks later, a distinctive cobblestone appearance was observed in the culture. The antibody-staining showed the cells were positive for epithelial membrane antigen and cytokeratin, but negative for actin, which confirmed that the cells were sweat gland epithelial cells. Conclusion A method is established for rapid isolation and culure of sweat gland epithelial cells in vitro.

Objective To compare two different gastric tube insertion methods on neonatal pain responae.Methods From April to July 2010,47 neonatal patients underwent gastric tube insertion in the neonatal department of our hospital were randomly classified into two groups:the nasal gastric tube insertion group(28 cases) and the oral gastric tube insertion group( 19 cases).Neonatal pain score and incidence of complications during gastric tube insertion between both groups were compared.Results The mean rank of pain scores were significantly higher in the nasal gastric tube insertion group than in the oral gastric tube insertion group.The incidence of pain and complications were higher in the nasal gastric tube insertion group than in the oral gastric tube insertion group.Conclusions The impact of oral gastric tube insertion on neonatal pain response is not significant,and few complications occur during oral gastric tube insertion,so it is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To explore the CT and MR features of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) of adults.Methods The CT and MRI findings of 20 patients of MPNST confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among 20 cases,the lesions were located in the lower extremities (n=4),shoulder and spine (n=4),abdomen (n=3),chest wall (n=2),mediastinum (n=2),breast (n=1),prostate (n=1),scrotum (n=1),scalp (n=1),left maxillary sinus and orbital bottom (n=1).Nineteen cases appeared as solid masses and 1 case appeared as diffuse lesion.The maximum cross section of the lesions were about 1.41 cm× 1.42 cm-17.10 cm× 18.08 cm.Sixteen cases were ill defined margin and 4 cases were well-defined margin.CT scan showed 14 cases were lower density or isodensity and with patchy inhomogeneous density.Multiple calcification were found in 2 cases and osteolytic destruction were found in 7 cases.Enhanced CT of 10 cases showed solid component and gradually delayed enhancement,while cystic lesion and necrosis were not enhancement.The tortuous arteries were displayed in 7 cases.Seven cases were performed MRI and the lesions appeared as hypo-intensity on T1WI and hypo-intensity on T2WI with obviously high intensity of cystic component.Enhanced MRI of 3 cases showed significantly heterogeneous enhancement,cyst and necrosis had no enhancement.MR dynamic enhancement of 1 case showed time-signal intensity curve was platform type.DWI showed high signal.Conclusion MPNST has certain CT and MR characteristics which are helpful to improve the diagnostic accuracy.

Objective To investigate the effect of long-term proton pump inhibitor on osteoporosis in elderly patients.Methods A total of 150 patients with peptic ulcer treated in our hospital from January 2011 to January 2015 were selected as the observation group.150 healthy subjects were selected as the control group.The age,height,body weight and PPI time of the two groups were recorded.The changes of bone mineral density before and after treatment were measured by bone mineral density analyzer,ineluding lumbar L1-4,radial density and ulna density.The changes of bone mineral density were observed and recorded in the observation group before treatment,six months,1 year and 2 years after treatment.Results After treatment,the levels of gastrin were significantly increased in the observation group,and the serum calcium concentration and bone mineral density were significantly decreased (P＜0.05).The density of lumbar vertebrae,radius and ulna was significantly lower in observation group than those of control group (P＜0.05).With the prolongation of PPIs,lumbar vertebrae,radius and ulna density in observation group showed a decreasing trend.Conclusion Long-term application of proton pump inhibitors in elderly patients can cause bone loss.
