ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of pre-pregnancy health examination combined with standardized health care during pregnancy on the pregnancy outcome at advanced maternal age.Methods:A total of 300 pregnant women who visited the Perinatal Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Shihezi University, China who received treatment between September 2018 and September 2019 were included in this study. They were divided into three groups according to pre-pregnancy health examination and heath care during pregnancy. In the observation group ( n = 78), pregnant women received pre-pregnancy health examination and health care during pregnancy on time and regularly. In the control group 1 ( n = 110): pregnant women did not receive pre-pregnancy health examination or regular health care during pregnancy. In the control group 2 ( n = 112), pregnant women received pre-pregnancy health examination or regular heath care during pregnancy. The pregnancy outcome was compared among three groups. The pre-pregnancy health examination and regular health care during pregnancy in women at advanced maternal age were correlated with gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus, premature delivery and other pregnancy risks. Results:There were significant differences in premature delivery (20.5%, 9.8%, 2.7%), gestational hypertension (23.1%, 12.5%, 3.6%), gestational diabetes mellitus (19.2%, 8.9%, 2.7%), premature rupture of membrane (17.9%, 10.7%, 3.6%), postpartum hemorrhage (12.8%, 8.0%, 1.8%), gestational anemia (19.2%, 8.0%, 2.7%) and placental abruption (7.7%, 8.0%, 0.9%) among control group 1, control group 2, and observation group ( χ2 = 16.047, 16.376, 14.724, 10.489, 8.781, 15.380, 6.744, all P < 0.05). The rate of cesarean section rate in the control group 1, control group 2, and observation group was statistically significant (70.5%, 44.6% and 27.3%, χ2 = 34.468, P < 0.05). There were significant differences in the incidence rates of macrosomia (15.4%, 8.9%, 2.7%), low birth weight infants (11.5%, 5.4%, 0.0%), stillbirth or late-term abortion (10.3%, 4.7%, 0.9%), neonatal asphyxia (16.7%, 7.1%, 1.8%) among the control group 1, control group 2 and observation group ( χ2 = 9.654, 12.840, 8.979, 14.284, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:The risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes is increased at advanced maternal age. Pre-pregnancy health examination combined with standardized health care during pregnancy can improve the pregnancy outcomes at advanced maternal age.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Locking pedicle screw system is commonly used in clinic, but it often suppresses spinal longitudinal growth of adolescent at growth phase. Thus, a pedicle screw system that can reduce even avoid the inhibition to spinal growth is needed. OBJECTIVE: To compare the biomechanical performance of sliding instrumentation of pedicle screw system and traditional locking pedicle screw system. DESIGN: Comparative observation. SETTING: Department of Orthopedics, Xinqiao Hospital of Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA, and Department of Orthopedics, the 211 Hospital of Chinese PLA. MATERIALS: The experiment was performed at Department of Material Science, Harbin Institute of Technology on June 29th, 2007. Self-designed sliding pedicle screw system was made of Ti alloy by Wujin No. 3 Medical Instrument Factory Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Province. It consisted of sliding pedicle screw, orthopaedic rod and transversal coupling device. Twelve samples of fresh porcine spine were selected, and muscles attached on vertebral bodies of TrL5 were removed carefully but integrity of main ligament and precessus articularis posterior was retained. METHODS: The samples were randomly divided into sliding system group and locking system group with 6 samples in each group. Partial vertebral plate and surrounding ligaments of T12as well as bilateral facet joints between T11-12 and T12-L1 were removed to induce spinal destabilization, then sliding pedicle screw system and locking pedicle screw system were respectively fixed onto T10, T12, and L2 vertebral bodies of two groups. The samples then were fixed into fixture, and put onto INSTAON-4505 axial compressor. The strain gauge was connected with YJ-31 static electricity resistance strain gauge instrument human to simulate human spinal load, and the center of gravity was loaded to induce forward flexion, backward extension, lateral flexion and axial construction. Load of 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 N was given gradually, and displacement of T12 was measured under different loads. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Changns in principal stress and displacement under forward flexion, backward extension, lateral flexion and axial construction; ②Spinal fixation intensity and rigidity. RESULTS: No statistical difference was detected in main straining, displacement of apical vertebrae and intensity of fixation between sliding system group and locking system group under forward flexion, backward extension, lateral flexion and axial construction (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Sliding pedicle screw system has identical biomechanical stability as locking system. Furthermore, in sliding pedicle screw system, the screw and rod are coupled by sliding pattern, which extend along with spinal growth. It can be used to treat scoliosis at growth phase.

All these variables were significantly higher in aged group compared with youth and middle-aged groups. The levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) lowered significantly with the advance of age, and they were 1 711.7?1 063.4, 1 423.0?913.2 and 1 162.7?792.5U/L, respectively. The same was true in serum albumin and choline esterase (ChE). On the other hand, the percentage of acute hepatitis without jaundice decreased to 17.9%, 6.4%and 2.5% from the youth to the aged. However, TBIL on admission (131.41?106.97 vs 169.60?136.11 vs 164.36?106.22?mol/L) and the elevation of the peak of TBIL (135.01?109.15 vs 186.08?150.64 vs 209.63?143.74?mol/L) of the middle-aged and the aged were significantly higher than those of the youth. There was no significant difference in the symptoms, the ratio of direct to total bilirubin, mortality to complications among them. Furthermore, the serum IgM and IgG antibodies against HEV were negative in about 8.1% of the patients with HEV. Conclusion With a higher incidence and more severe hepatic damage, the middle-aged and the aged patients need a longer duration for recovery than the young patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the distribution of the bacteria in ascites of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), and to find out the resistance of the bacteria to antibacterial agents. Methods 44 inpatients from 1999 to 2003 with SBP and positive bacterial culture in ascites were selected, and the bacterial distribution, resistance to drugs and the application of antibacterial agents were analyzed. Results 88.6% (39/44) of the 44 isolations were gram-negative bacillus, among them 28 isolations were E. coli. The results of drug sensitive test revealed that 90% of E. coli, Aeromonas sobria, Klebsiella pneumoniae were sensitive to the third generation of cephalosporin. The resistant rate of E. coli to cefotriaxone and cefotaxime were 11.54% and 12.50%, respectively. Conclusion The third generation of cephalosporin was the experiential selection in treating SBP before getting the report of drug sensitive test. Anti-bacterial agents combined with ?-lactamase inhibitors may be used in treating some severe cases.

ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate whether viable apoptotic cells and phagocytosis of them affect the activation of T lymphocytes. METHODS: Ultraviolet irradiation was used to induce apoptotic cells in vitro and the model of phagocytosis of these cells was established. Cytokine TGF ?1 was detected by ELISA. The rate of apoptotic cells and phagocytosis of them were assessed by flow cytometry. Furthermore, flow cytometry was also employed to examine the expression of activation signs, such as CD69, CD25, CD71, of T lymphocytes under the intervention of apoptotic cells and macrophage which ingested apoptotic cells, to reflect whether the apoptotic cells and the phagocytosis of these cells could influence the activation of lymphocytes stimulated by Con A. RESULTS: Ingestion of apoptotic cells increased TGF ?1 secretion. Only the macrophages that had ingested apoptotic cells could suppress the activation of lymphocytes. The expression of the markers of lymphocytes activation such as CD69, CD25, CD71 had been restrained. These inhibition effects were abolished by monoclonal anti-TGF ?1 antibody. CONCLUSION: The macrophages that have ingested apoptotic cells inhibit expression of CD69, CD25 and CD71 of T lymphocytes stimulated by ConA. This effect is dependent on the increase in TGF ?1 secretion in local site. [

ABSTRACT
0.05). However, a significant higher percentage of CD3+CD25+ T cells was found in stable liver transplantation group as compared to healthy group ( P0.05). There was not found no regular change of serum cytokine s (IL-6, TN F-?) and adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, P-selectin) in 6 liver transplanted patien ts during post-operation from day 1 to day 30, indicating that was associated wi th the different status of patients before or after transplantation. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggesting that increased levels of ICAM-1 and P-selectin, appears to participate in the processing of immunoregulation to transplanted livers, whereas elevated concentrations of IL-6 appear to be involv ed in the repair of the injury induced by TNF-? in allo-transplanted livers.
