Hela is the cell line of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix, and human papillomavirus (HPV) 18 shows positive. We delivered siRNA with target specifically to HPV18 E7 mRNA into nude mice Hela tumor xenografts by nanopatch to inhibit the HPV gene expression, and further to study the superiority, the best action time and concentration of siRNA of using nanopatch to transfer siRNA in vivo. We designed siRNA that target specifically to HPV18 E7 mRNA (siE7) and checked the effect of siE7 in vitro. Tumor xenografts were transfected with siE7 and GenEscort III by nanopatch. Expression of HPV18 E7 mRNA and protein were detected 0 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours after transfection with PT-PCR and Western blot, and the best action time was analyzed using nanopatch to thansfect siRNA in vivo. We transfected GenEscort III and siE7 of Different concentration into tumor xenografts respectively by nanopatch and intraperitoneal injection. Expression of HPV18 E7 mRNA and protein was detected 72 hours after transfection by PT-PCR and Western blot, to analyze the best action concentration of siRNA and the superiority of using nanopatch to thansfect siRNA in vivo. The results proved that SiE7was efficient to inhibit expression of HPV18 E7 mRNA and to advance Hela apoptosis in vitro. SiE7 transfected by nanopatch into xenografts could inhibit effectively expression of HPV18 E7 mRNA and protein. The best action time and concentration of siRNA of using nanopatch to thansfect siRNA in vivo are 72 hour post-transfection and 2 micromol/L siE7. To compare intraperitoneal injection in delivering siRNA in vivo, the effect of nanopatch is very predominant. It can be well concluded that Nanopatch can effectively transfer siRNA in vivo, which can effectively inhibit the HPV gene expression.

Objective To investigate the effects of transplantated tumor capillary permeability under microbubble enhanced diagnostic ultrasound exposure.Methods Fourty eight rats were randomly divided into four groups after Walker 256 carcinomas were subcutaneousely implanted,named the control group (A),microbubbles group (B),ultrasound group (C),microbubbles and ultrasound group (D).Using Evans blue(EB) as the indicator for tumor capillary permeability,the microbubbles were injected through the vein with diagnostic ultrasound frequency as 1.75 MHz,mechanical index as 1.4.The spillover of EB was estimated under confocal laser microscope,meanwhile the contents of EB in the tumor tissues were calculated according to the standard curve and spectrophotometry.Results EB spillover was observed around the capillaries in the group D,while EB spillover was only observable on capillary in group A,B and C.The EB content was also significantly higher than those in group A,B and C.Conclusions Exposure to both diagnostic ultrasound and microbubbles results in increased capillary permeability of rat tumor tissues,which might become a potential therapeutic method on clinical chemotherapy.

Objective To explore the higher dangerous factors,the early clinical performances and its contents of neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage(NPH).Methods The clinical performances,chest radiograms and autoptical pathological materials of 66 cases of newborns who died of NPH at our neonatal department during 1993 to 2003 were reviewed and analyzed.Results The higher dangerous factors of NPH were premature delivery/low birth weight,serious diseases lead to hypoxia and severe infections.The early clinical performances of NPH were the suddenly aggravation of dyspnea and the increasing of moist sounds.The early X-ray performances were lower penetrance of lung fields extensively and well-distributly with path clouds,the intercostals space usually increased.According to the autoptical(patho)-logy,this X-ray perfomance indicated the edema of the pulmonary with small amount of hemorrhage.Conclusion The patients with the higher dangerous factors and the early clinical performances of NPH,must be diagnosed and interfered it as early as possible to reduce the mortality of NPH.

Objective to evaluate the impacts of 6 standard comparible tables of biparietal diameter(BPD)-gestational age to the second trimester Down syndrome screening and the individual risk rate for pregnant woman. Methods A total of 25 346 pregnant woman with gestational age be-tween 12 to 20 weeks were recruited and analyzed in the study,including 32 Down syndrome. For each pregnant woman,we calculated the gestation-al age by six different BPD-gestational age tables,and the prenatal screening risk value of gestational age. then ROC curve,detection rate and posi-tive rate were used to evaluate the effect of different control tables on the screening results. In addition,individual risk rate was used to determine the influence of gestational age deviation on pregnant woman. Results According to the ROC,we found that our self-designed BPD table had the best AUC(0.972),while the table designed by a hospital in Shanghai had the least AUC(0.923). the difference was significant by statistic test(P =0.045). With the same detection rate of 75%,we found our self-designed table had the least positive rate with only 2.3%,and the cutoff was 1∶280, while the table of Chinese Obstetrics and Gynecology had the highest ratio(4.8%),and the cutoff was 1∶345. Our results suggest that once gesta-tional age is estimated to be higher than actual age,the risk will be higher and the positive rate will increase. However,if gestational age is estimated to be smaller,the risk will be smaller and the negative rate will increase. Conclusion the impacts of different tables on Down syndrome screening are different. Our self-designed BPD table is the most effective to estimate gestational age,and the control table of Hongkong is ranked No.2. the wrong estimation of gestational age will largely affect the individual risk of pregnant woman.

OBJECTIVETo investigate and clarify the key surgical techniques and evaluate clinical effectiveness of modular cementless femoral stems(LINK MP modular stem) in complex revision hip arthroplasty.

METHODSFrom January 2002 to December 2013, 470 patients in Chinese PLA General Hospital received revision hip arthroplasties using MP stems. Among them, 246 patients were followed for an average of 5.7 years (ranged, 0.5 to 11 years). There were 148 males and 98 females, with an average age of 62.5 years old (ranged from 26 to 83 years old). The most common reason for revision was aseptic loosening of femoral stems (107 cases, 43.5%), followed by prosthetic joint infection (104 cases, 42.3%). Other reasons included unexplained hip or thigh pain, periprosthetic femoral fracture, prosthesis wear and dislocation. According to Paprosky classification of femoral deficiency, there were 171 cases of type IIIA (69.5%), 14 cases of type I, 39 cases of type II, and 22 cases of type IIIB. The average preoperative Harris hip score (HHS) was 37.4 ± 7.5. In addition, radiographic presentation, degree of patients' subjective satisfaction, and clinical effectiveness were assessed as well.

RESULTSThe average Harris score was im- proved to 87.8 ± 4.2 after operation,with significant statistical difference when compared to preoperative score (t = 92.13,P = 0.00). Analysis of patients' subjective satisfaction for leg length discrepancy, stability and overall degree of satisfaction showed that the number of patients with great satisfaction were 27, 60, 61 respectively. The most common complication was the periprosthetic fracture (intraoperatively 21 cases and postoperatively 8 cases). Other complications included infection (7 cases), dislocation (5 cases), numbness possibly caused by incomplete sciatic nerve injury (6 cases) and thigh swelling (3 cases). The X-ray taken at the final follow-up revealed that prosthesis subsidence occurred in 4 cases, 2 of which needed a second revision.

CONCLUSIONThe application of modular cementless femoral stems (LINK MP modular stem) in complex revision hip arthroplasty (especially in cases with the serious defect of proximal femoral bone) shows good results at both the short-term and long-term follow-up, especially in the revision for prosthetic infection with the high success rate. In order to avoid complications and improve clinical outcomes,the surgeons should carefully select proper surgery candidates,perform the procedure with care, and master the key surgical techniques.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s are considered to have good proliferation and differentiation potentials. Sox9 is a transcription factor that is essential for chondrogenesis and has been termed as a“master regulator”of the chondrocyte phenotype. OBJECTIVE:To study the therapeutic effects of Sox9-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s on knee osteoarthritis. METHODS:The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were transfected with Lenti-Sox9-EGFP in vitro. The model of murine knee osteoarthritis was established by cutting off the anterior cruciate ligament. Thirty model mice were randomly divided into three groups, as normal saline group, bone mesenchymal stem cel group and Sox9-transfected bone mesenchymal stem cel group. 0.1 mL of normal saline, 0.1 mL of normal saline containing non-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal cel s (non-transfected group), or 0.1 mL of normal saline containing Sox9-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal cel s (Sox9-transfected group) was injected into the knee joint cavity of mice in the corresponding group, respectively. After 4, 8, 12 weeks, the repair of articular cartilage lesions was evaluated by toluidine blue and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The lesions of articular cartilage were more serious in the normal saline group, compared with the other two groups, and the difference became more obvious over time. Damaged articular cartilage was improved in the non-transfected group, but the improvement was less than that in the Sox9-transfected group. Immunohistochemistry staining revealed that in the Sox9-transfected group, the positive type II col agen expression was stronger than that in the other two groups, but this positive expression was decreased over time in al the three groups. These results suggest that Sox9-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s promote the repair of damaged cartilage in mice with knee osteoarthritis.

ObjectiveTo summarize the clinical significance of ultrasonic screening of fetal structural anomalies at 11-13+6 weeks.Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 4853 cases of nuchal translucency screening at 11-13+6 weeks in Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Bao?an of Shenzhen City from September 2011 to May 2014. The screening ultrasound planes included the median sagittal plane, neck sagittal section, cerebral transverse section, cardiac four-chamber view, three-vessel-trachea view, abdominal transverse section, bladder section, upper limb section and lower limb section of the fetuses. All the cases then underwent the ultrasonic structural screening in the second trimester (20-24 weeks) and the third (28-32 weeks) trimester and were followed up until 6 weeks after birth or the biopsy after abortion.Results Eighty-ifve fetal structural anomalies were detected among the 4853 pregnant women at 11-13+6 weeks of gestation with the detection rate of 1.75% (85/4853), including central nervous system abnormalities (28 cases), anterior abdominal wall anomalies (9 cases), cardiac anomalies (6 cases), urinary system malformation (3 cases), skeletal system malformation (2 cases), multilocular cystic tumor and dropsy embryo (35 cases), and abnormal twins (2 cases). Among above abnormal fetuses, 6 cases showed normal structure in the screening after 14 weeks and were born without malformations, while the rest 79 cases were taken artiifcial abortion (73 cases in the ifrst trimester and 6 cases in the second trimester). Only 9 cases were taken chorionic puncture or amniocentesis, including normal karyotypes (3 cases), 47, XN, +18 (3 cases) and 45, X (3 cases). The False negative rate in the ifrst trimester was 23% (25/110). Supplementary detection of fetal structural abnormalities in the second and third trimester were found in 22 cases (20%, 22/110). Two cases of VSD and 1 case of microtia were identiifed after birth.ConclusionsThe fetal malformation can be detected in the earlier gestation with the ultrasonic screening at 11-13+6 weeks, which provide the earlier termination to the abnormal fetus. It has important clinical signiifcance in effectively reducing fetal births with structural abnormalities.

Objective To understand children's vitamin D nutritional status in Shaoxing City.Methods A total of 952 children were selected from the department of child health care.Automatic electrochemical luminescence immune analyzer (Roche Cobase601)with original reagents was used to detect serum levels of 25 -hydroxyvitamin D.Results The median level of 25 -hydroxyvitamin D among children aged 0 -9 years was (29.78 ±12.08)ng/L.Among 952 children,the rate of severe deficiency,deficiency and insufficient were 2.63%,18.80% and 32.77% respectively.There was no statistically significant difference on serum 25 -hydroxyvitamin D level between boys and girls (P >0.05 ),but serum 25 -hydroxyvitamin D level significantly decreased with age (P <0.05).The level of serum 25 -hydroxyvitamin D in summer and autumn were significantly higher than that in spring and winter (P <0.01).Conclusion The serum levels of 25 -hydroxyvitamin D among children in Shaoxing City are low.Vitamin D supplementation and outdoor activities should be encouraged.Vitamin D supplements should be paid more attentions especially among children aged 4 -9 years.

Objective:To evaluate the value of improved pulmonary ultrasonography in the follow-up assessment of lung damage in patients who recovered from corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19).Methods:Twenty-two patients who were cured of COVID-19 in Quanzhou First Hospital from January to May 2020 were randomly selected and divided into 7 mild cases, 12 moderate cases and 3 severe cases according to the first high-resolution CT (HRCT) at admission. Six months after recovery, modified lung ultrasonography and HRCT were used prospectively to assess the lung damage and evaluate the correlation and consistency between the two techniques.Results:①There were significant differences in lung damage between the mild group and the moderate group, severe group (all P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the moderate group and severe group ( P>0.05). ②There was good consistency between the improved lung ultrasound examination and HRCT (Kappa=0.776, P<0.001). ③There was a positive correlation between the score of improved pulmonary ultrasound examination and HRCT Warrick score ( r=0.755, P<0.001). Conclusions:Improved pulmonary ultrasonography can be used as a priority in the evaluation of pulmonary damage follow-up in patients with COVID-19 recovery, reducing the use of CT, and providing favorable evidence for further clinical management.
