Objective To investigate the negative effect of cigaratte smoking on periodontal theraphy. Mothods 84 patients with periodontopathy were selected and divided into two groups. The smoking group (group A) included 33 patients and the non-smoking group (group B) included 51 patients. All the patients received a systematic treatment. The effects of the treatment between different groups were compared through the debris index(DI),calculus index(CI),periodotal disease index(PDI) which were respectively recorded before and after treatment.Results After the treatment the DI,CI,PDI of two groups were all decreased; wheras compared with group A, every index of group B was significantly lower. Conclusions Somking seriously influences the effect of periodontal therapy. Therefore, to give up smoking is very important for preventing and treating periodontopathy.

Objective:To prepare and identify the monoclonal antibody against hPPAR?2.Methods:cDNA of hPPAR?2 was obtained from pMD18-T/hPPAR?2.hPPAR?2 was expressed in prokaryocyte and purified successfully.The anti-hPPAR?2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) 1B4,3H2,3H10,10D6 and 10D8 were produced by immunization with purified hPPAR?2.The specificity of the antibodies was identified by ELISA,Western blot assay and immunocytochemistry.Results:Five novel murine monoclonal antibodies only against hPPAR?2 were harvested,and they were all specific to hPPAR?2.Conclusion:The antibodies obtained provide more useful tools for following research and settling the basis for screening new drugs and mechanism.

Objective: To investigate chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its risk factors in people receiving physical examination. Methods: hTis retrospective study included people over 20 years old who had physical examination in the Health Management Center of Third Xiangya Hospital from Janurary 2008 to June 2011. CKD and its risk factors as well as questionnaire were recorded. hTe risk factors were analyzed by multivariate logistic analysis. CKD was deifned by kidney damage (microalbuminuria≥30 mg/L) and/or hematuria and/or reduced kidney function [evaluate glomerular ifltration rate (eGFR)<60mL/(min.1.73 m2)]. We counted eGFR according to the modiifcation of diet in renal disease (MDRD). Results: A total of 5 708 physical examination reports were included. The detection rate of albuminuria, reduced renal function and hematuria was 25.0%, 1.7% and 1.1%. hTe detection rate of CKD was 25.6%, and detection rate of CKD stage 1-5 was 17.8%, 6.7%, 1.1%, 0 and 0, respectively. Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, male, age, and smoking were the risk factors for CKD. Increasing physical activity was the protective factor against CKD. Conclusion: High prevalence of CKD in people receiving physical examination is found in Changsha, especially stage 1 and 2 CKD. Physical examination is important to screen CKD. Stopping smoking, control of blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipids and increasing physical activity may help reduce the prevalence of CKD.

Objective To investigate the values of CD21 and CD43 proteins in the differential diagnosis of mucosa-associated marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MALToma) from benign lymphadenosis. Methods The expression of CD21 and CD43 proteins in the tissues of 25 MALToma (case group) and 25 benign lymphadenosis (control group) was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Abnormal CD21+follicular dendritic cells (FDC) meshes were found in all patients of case group. Most of the FDC meshes were sparse and broken, and a few were enlarged or fused into pieces. Intact CD21+FDC meshes were all found, and abnormal FDC meshes were not found in control group. The positive rate of abnormal FDC meshes in case group was significantly increased compared with that in control group (χ2 = 46.080, P= 0.000). The expression rate of CD43+in CD20+cells was 24 % (6/25) in case group, but it was negative in control group (χ2=4.375, P=0.030). Conclusions Abnormal CD21+FDC meshes and CD43+expression in CD20+cells are useful in the differential diagnosis between MALToma and benign lymphadenosis. The abnormal FDC meshes of MALToma are enlarged or fused in the minority of cases.

Objective To explore coping strategies and influence factors in primary glaucoma patients through describing characteristics of their coping strategies.Methods From November 2007 to June 2008,data were collected from 120 primary glaucoma patients in three hospitals in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.The final sample consisted of 100 patients and the data underwent analysis.Results Among different coping styles of primary glaucoma patients,facing was lower than norm,avoiding and yielding were higher than norm.The factors related to coping style were age,different cohabitant,different economic condition,different occupation,different educational level and health payment mode.Conclusions Primary glaucoma patients usually took avoiding or yielding coping styles.Nurses should help patients with low income and education background to face the disease positively.Besides,fully consideration should be given to patients with different age,at the same time,marriage and family support should also exert active function.

Objective To investigate the role of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy (DNP) and the correlation of NGF level with,sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) and duration of DNP.MethodsThe 41 patients with DNP,35 diabetics without DNP and 33 healthy controls were enrolled.And the serum level of NGF was measured with ELISA,the SNCV of left medial nerve,ulnar nerve,peroneal nerve and tibial nerve were measured too. Then the correlation analysis was completed. ResultsThe serum level of NGF was significantly lower in DNP patients [(665.18±188.32) ng/L] than in healthy controls [(976.44±159.07)ng/L] and in diabetics without DNP [(943.32±167.33) ng/L,F=9.316,P<0.001].The NGF level of DNP patients was positively correlated with SNCV of left medial nerve (r=0.810,P<0.001 ),left peroneal nerve (r=0.760,P<0.001) and duration of DNP (r=0.542,P<0.001).Conclusions The serum level of NGF is lower in DNP patients than in healthy controls.The decrease of the production of NGF may play a role in the pathogenesis of DNP.
