With decision tree model, both net utility and cost-benefit were analysed to comprehensively assess hepatitis B vaccination strategy in China. The result showed that neonates shoulUbe taken as the most favourable vaccinated population, infants aged 0～3 years the next, and immediate vaccination scheme was recommended. Although vaccination would result in negative benefit in the population aged 7 and over, certain net utility was also gained, Therefore we suggest that the subjects to be vaccinated be extended in due course.

CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 can express in breast cancer,and are regulated by several factors in the genesis and development of breast cancer. Lots of researches have proved that CXCL12 and CXCR4 can be used as new independent prognostic makers of breast cancer.Treatment targeted for CXCR4 can be seen as a new kind of combination therapy,which may provides patients a more ideal treatment.

Dry eye is a most common external eye disease in clinic and it can cause ocular discomfort and visual disturbance. The conventional examinations for dry eye have some shortcomings, for example, high variability and insufficient association with symptoms. Recently, routine ophthalmic technologies play more extending roles in evaluation of dry eye, including corneal topography, wavefront aberrometer, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and confocal microscope. Corneal topography and wavefront aberrometer could be used to evaluate the stability of tear film and visual function. OCT could image tear meniscus directly, and confocal microscope could observe histopathology of ocular surface in vivo. The studies on ophthalmic technologies in dry eye make us deepen the understanding of pathophysiology of dry eye and also provide new diagnostic approaches.

Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture on brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) and nerve growth factor(NGF) expression in the hippocampus of depression rats,and to explore its possible anti-depression mechanism.Methods SD rats were randomized into the normal group,model group,acupuncture group and western medicine group.Rat models of depression were established by chronic unpredictable mild stress and by isolated raising.The western medicine group received gastric gavage of fluoxetine hydrochloride(in the dose of 2 mg?kg-1?d-1),and the acupuncture group received acupuncture on acupoints of Baihui(GV20),Xinshu(BL15) and Ganshu(BL17),once per day for 21 days.After treatment,the expression of BDNF and NGF in the hippocampus of rats was detected by immunohistochemical assay.Results The number of cells with BDNF and NGF positive expression in the hippocampus of model group was decreased(P

Objective To investigate the up regulation of captopril on the platelet nitric oxide(NO) synthase and clinical application in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods The washed platelets in vitro of the patients with acute ischemic stroke and healthy controls were added with oxidized LDL(oxLDL) and captopril followed by measurement of platelet NO synthase activity.Plasma oxLDL,NO sythase,NO and platelet NO sythase,NO in 40 patients were measured before oral captopril and after oral captropril 1 month,3 months.Results (1)After the washed platelets in vitro were added with oxLDL,the platelet NO synthase activities of the patients and controls were all significantly decreased( P

Objective:To investigate if injury-related myofibroblast induction could occur in bronchial epithelial cells and the role of TGF-?_1(rhTGF-?_1) in epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation. Methods:Cultured bronchial epithelial cells, 16HBE-14o, were exposed to poly-L-arginine(PLA). Using a immunohistochemical method, ?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) expression was detected in those cells after being treated with PLA . Relative activity of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase(CAT) was assessed in 16HBE-14o cells, which were transiently transfected with VSMP8 plasmid containing ?-SMA promoter linked to CAT gene, at different time points after rhTGF-?_1(10 ?g/L) treatment. Results:①?-SMA positive, spindle-shaped cells emerged among the regenerated 16HBE-14o epithelial cells following damage. The number of ?-SMA positive 16HBE-14o cells increased and cell repair was delayed under rhTGF-?_1 stimulation.② CAT activity increased significantly in VSMP8 plasmid transfected 16HBE-14o cells 24 h after TGF-?_1 stimulation.

[Objective]To probe the probability of autologous platelet-rich glue(PRG) combined with particulate of cancellous bone in treating the aseptic tibial nonunion.[Method]Sixty patients with tibial nonunion in distal 1/3 fragment were randomly divided into 2 groups.Each group had thirty patients.PRG combined with particulate of autogenous cancellous bone was transplanted in the experimental group while particulate of cancellous bone was applied in the control group.The mean time to the operation was 10.5 months(7-36 months) and the average age were 38 years old.The postoperative systemic and local reaction,and X-ray finings of tibial nonunion were observed.The average follow-up was 22 months.According to the Johner-Wruh scoring system the results were statistically analyzed.[Result]At 8 months bony union was all achieved.There was a remarkable difference between those of experimental and control groups.[Conclusion]PRG had an important role in speeding bone healing,and the combination of PRG and particulate of autogenous cancellous bone is an ideal alternative of bone transplantation.

Objective: To demonstrate the influence of HMGB34367,a subfamily member of the high-mobility group protein B1(HMGB1),as a transcriptional factor of the ?-SMA gene expression.Methods: We cloned HMGB34367 cDNA from the fibrotic lung tissue of the Balb/C mouse treated with BLM by RT-PCR,sub-cloned it into a eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA 3.0 or pEGF-N2,and constructed a report plasmid,pDsRed-SMA,encoding red fluorescence(RFP) driven by ?-SMA promoter.Following the co-transfection of pDsRed-SMA and HMGB34367-pcDNA3.0/ pEGF-N2-HMGB34367 in the cultured 16HBE cells,we tested the expression of the RFP in the absence and presence of TGF?1 by fluorescence microscopy.After the transfection of HMGB34367-pcDNA3.0,the nucleus extracts from the transfected cells were subjected to electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA) for the detection of the binding activity of HMGB34367 with ?-SMA promoter CarGB motif.RT-PCR was performed for the evaluation of the ?-SMA gene expression in the cells.Results: The over expression of HMGB34367 activated the ?-SMA promoter and enhances the expression of the ?-SMA gene.An increased binding activity of HMGB34367 with CarGB motif was detected by EMSA in the transfected cells.Conclusion:HMGB34367,a member of HMGB1 family,could act as a transcription factor for the transcriptional activation of the ?-SMA gene,which may play an important role in the development of lung fibrosis.

Objective: To study the probiotic properties of 12 selected strains of lactobacilli.Methods: The probiotic properties of 12 selected strains of lactobacilli were investigated for their resistance to pH 2.5 and 0.3% oxgall,their adhesion to Caco-2 cells and antimicrobial activity against enteric pathogenic bacteria.Results: The 12 strains all showed relatively high resistance to acid and bile salt and varied antimicrobial activities against pathogenic bacteria of intestinal infection.Lactobacillus johnsonii JCM1022 exhibited a broad inhibitory effect on enteric pathogenic bacteria,especially on enteropathgenic E.coli and Salmonella enteritidis,while Lactobacillus reuteri JCM1081 possessed a high activity of adhesion to Caco-2 cells(495.07?80.03).Conclusion: Among the 12 strains,Lactobacillus johnsonii JCM1022 and reuteri JCM1081 are qualified candidates for clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects and side effects of MMF on severe SLE patients compared with CTX.Method All 106 severe SLE patients were randomly allocated to 2 groups:MMF treatment group (53 patients):1 5 g/d for 3 months,1 0 g/d for following 3 months,and then 0 5～0 75 g/d;IVCTX treatment group:0 75 g/m 2 per month for 6～12 months.Prednisone was used in all patients.Clinical and laboratory parameters including SLE DAI,Hb,platelet,urine protein,albumin,SCr,aCL,ANA and anti dsDNA were observed.Results After 3 month treatment,all clinical and laboratory parameters were significantly improved in MMF group,while only partial parameters were improved in CTX group.Hb and platelet increased and urine protein and anti dsDNA decreased faster in MMF group than in CTX group.At month 6 the clinical and laboratory parameters improved significantly in both groups ( P
