Objective: To investigate the attitude and behaviors towards tobacco control among civil servants in smoke-free governments of Ningbo City, so as to provide insights into the construction of smoke-free governments. Methods: Ten governments were randomly sampled from city-level and county/district-level smoke-free governments in Ningbo City using a stratified random sampling method, and 10 civil servants were sampled from each government using a convenient sampling method. Participants' demographics, attitude and behaviors towards tobacco control and second-hand smoke exposure were collected using a self-designed questionnaire and descriptively analyzed. Results: A total of 1 100 civil servants were recruited, including 466 men (42.36%) and had a mean age of (39.02±9.38) years. There were 1 005 participants favoring “civil servants should refuse smoking firstly” (91.36%), 1 058 participants favoring “governments should build a smoke-free environment firstly” (96.18%), 1 075 participants favoring “smoking should be completely banned in any indoor public places” (97.73%), 913 participants thinking that smoking should be completely banned in any indoor public places (83.00%) and 813 participants thinking that tobacco control regulations are implemented satisfactorily in their workplaces (73.91%). The overall prevalence of current smoking was 11.91% among participants, and the prevalence of current smoking was 28.11% among male participants. Among all current smokers, 84 attempted to quit smoking (64.12%), and 89 had willingness or plans to quit smoking (67.94%). The proportion of second-hand smoke exposure in workplaces was 40.97% among non-smokers in the past one week. Conclusions The civil servants in Ningbo City has correct awareness of smoke-free governments, active attitudes towards tobacco control and low prevalence of smoking. However, smoke-free regulations remain to be improved and long-term tobacco control mechanisms remain to be created in governments in Ningbo City

【Objective】 To compare the bioactive ingredients in activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from cord blood and adult blood, explore its reasonable indicators reflecting the inflammatory regulation ability, in order to guide the preparation. 【Methods】 PRP was prepared and activated from 63 healthy adults (31 males, 32 females) and 61 neonates (30 males, 31 females), and 20 cytokines were measured using Luminex technology for assessing the age- and sex-based bioactive differences of PRP. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP), procalcitonin and MMPs/TIMPs from each sample were measured for their correlations with the 10 inflammation-related cytokines. 【Results】 The activated cord blood PRP released 10 growth factors and chemokines more than the adult blood PRP, whereas IGF-1, HGF and 8 pro-inflammatory cytokines lower than the latter. Most cytokines of adult PRP were more in females than in males (P<0.05), except for IGF-1 and HGF, which showed no difference by gender. Compared with hs-CRP and PCT, MMPs/TIMPs ratio was more closely related with the inflammation-related cytokines, which can reflect the inflammatory regulation of PRP. 【Conclusion】 Due to the lower immunocompetence and no age or gender disturbance, cord blood PRP has the rational MMPs/TIMPs ratio and more cytokines which promote the inflammation and wound healing.

Objective To investigate the MRI findings of perihip heterotopic ossification (HO) in the early, mid and late stages. Meth-ods The MRI of 44 inpatients with HO from February, 2011 to September, 2013 were reviewed, in which 20 cases (28 joints) were in early stage, 18 cases (24 joints) in mid stage and 6 cases (8 joints) in late stage. For the enhanced T1WI, 9 cases (11 joints) were in early stage, 6 cases (7 joints) in mid stage, and 3 cases (4 joints) in late stage. Theχ2 trend test was used to evaluate the MRI signal change with the HO maturity. Results With the maturity of hip HO, the signal intensity of T2WI reduced (χ2=16.773, P<0.001), fat signal on T1WI increased, the enhancement reduced (χ2=16.048, P=0.007). Conclusion The MRI findings of perihip HO are characteristic in MRI in all the stages. MRI is useful for the diagnosis of perihip HO, especially for the early HO.

Objective To examine the expressions of glyoxalase Ⅰ (GLO-Ⅰ ) in endometrial cancer tissues and cell lines and to investigate the roles of GLO-Ⅰ on proliferation and apoptosis in endometrial cancer cells. Methods Immunohistochemistry, western blot and RT-PCR were used to investigate the expressions of GLO-Ⅰ protein and mRNA in endometrial cancer tissues and Ishikawa cell lines ;enzyme activity of GLO-Ⅰ in normal endometrium, endometrial cancer and paraneoplastic tissue samples was detected with spectrophotometer; proliferation and apoptosis of Ishikawa cell before and after RNA interference (RNAi) procedure were detected by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) and flow cytometry, respectively. Results (1)There were significant differences of GLO-Ⅰ expression between normal endometrium (0/19) and endometrial cancer tissues ( 76%, 22/29 ); these were also significant differences of enzyme activity of GLO-Ⅰ among normal endometrium, paraneoplastic and endometrial cancer tissues( 1.1,0.8 vs 92.3 IU/mg; P <0.01 ). Enzyme activity of GLO-Ⅰ in fresh normal endometrium and paraneoplastic tissues was weak, while that of fresh endometrial cancer tissues was as high as 92. 3 IU/mg in average. (2)The expression of GLO-Ⅰ mRNA in Ishikawa cell transfected with GLO-Ⅰ siRNA was significantly lower than that in negative group (0.25 ± 0.06 vs 0.93 ± 0.10, P < 0.0l ), and the similar results that in the expression of GLO-Ⅰ protein (0.38 ±0.06 vs 0.94 ±0.13, P <0.01 ). (3) Proliferation in Ishikawa cell was significantly inhibited after silencing RNA expression of GLO-Ⅰ ( P = 0.028 ). The apoptosis rate of cells transfected with GLO- Ⅰ siRNA was significantly higher than that of negative control group and blank control group [ ( 6.7 ± 0.8 ) % vs ( 1.2 ± 0.4) %, ( 1.4 ± 0.4 ) %; P < 0.01 ]. Conclusion The expression and enzyme activity of GLO- Ⅰ is significantly increased in endometrial cancer, which could promote abnormal proliferation and inhibit apoptosis in endometrial cancer cells.

ConclusionX-rays plain film is the first choice for the diagnosis of Charcot neuroarthropathy, while CT, MRI and nuclear medicine may be helpful.

Objective To introduce the technique and evaluate the clinical effect of retroperito-neoscopic anatomical radical nephrectomy. Methods One hundred and sixty-eight patients under-went retroperitoneoscopic anatomical radical nephrectomies. The average tumor size was 4.7 cm (ran-ging from 2.0-6.9 era) in diameter. There were 87 tumors in the left kidney and 81 tumors in right kidney. Ninety-two eases were in cli.nieal stage T1a. N0 M0 and 76 in T1b N0 M0. Retroperitoneal space was created routinely at lateral decubitus position. Four relatively bloodless planes were orderly entered for exposure and separation of the kidney outside Gerota's fascia. The first dissection plane was be-tween the psoas and posterior Gerota's fascia. The renal pedicle was found in this plane. The following dissections proceeded in the plane between posterior Gerota's fascia and fusion fascia. The third dissec-tion plane was between adrenal gland and the upper pole of kidney or between the adrenal gland and di-aphragma. The fourth dissection plane was in the bottom of Gerota's fascia. Results All operations were successfully completed. The mean operative time was 138:J:46 min and estimated blood loss was 90±30 ml. The average day of resuming oral intake was 1.3 d and time of ambulation was 1.2 d. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 5.8 d. Peritoneum injuries happened in 14 patients. Omalgia oc-curred in 18 patients and disappeared 2 d after operation. One hundred and twenty-three patients were followed up, they all survived during the average follow-up of 8 months (ranging from 6-18 months);, .Conclusions Retroperitoneoscopie anatomical radical nephrectomy is a safe and effective procedure. It can decrease operation time, blood loss and complication rate remarkably. It is a good option for patients needing radical nephrectomy.

Objective To analyze MRI manifestations of post-traumatic syringomyelia and its formation mechanism.Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 31 patients with post-traumatic syringomyelia was carried out.Morphous and signal features of spinal cord and syringomyelia was observed by MRI.Results Among 31 patients,11 cases had syrinx extending to cervical cord,6 cases extending to cervicothoracic cord,4 cases extending to thoracic cord,5 cases extending to thoracolumbar cord,5 cases extending to whole spinal cord.5 cases of 31 patients had syrinx ascending to medulla oblongata,1 cases ascending to pons.The post-traumatic syringomyelia had signal intensities similar to cerebrospinal fluid on T1-weighted sequences and uniformed or ununiformed signals of increased intensity on T2-weighted sequences.23 cases of all patients can demonstrate adhesion and traumatic tethering by MRI.Conclusion MRI can not only demonstrate the characteristics of post-traumatic syringomyelia but also describe the range of spinal cord,arachnoid and dura mater adhesions,which is of value in deciding how to perform operations.

Objective To investigate the value and clinical significance of MRI in diagnosis of subcortical trabecular injury in knee.Methods45 patients with obvious pain but no fracture diagnosed by X-ray after knee trauma were scanned with MRI to analyze whether having injuries in subcortical trabecular and knee joint accessory structures.ResultsAll of the 45 cases had normal radiographic results in X-ray examination, but subcortical trabecular injury was found by MRI. MRI demonstrated irregular low signal in the subcortical region on both T1WI and T2WI. The high signal in fat suppressed T22subcortical trabecular and knee joint accessory structures.
