ABSTRACT
The current situation of medical equipment management informatization was introduced in China,and its deficiencies were described in standard,top-level design,data island and etc.A development strategy divided into preliminary,intermediate and advanced levels was put forward,which used business support,data fusion and iterative analysis as the tools.The steps and methods for medical equipment management informatization were studied,and it's pointed out industrial informatization was of great significance to enhance the quality,efficacy and ability of medical equipment management.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of CD40siRNA on the pathologic changes and T helper lymphocyte (Th)-17 cells of myocardium and IL-17,IL-23 of serum in rats with experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM).Methods Forty 6-8 week old healthy male Lewis rats with body weight of 185-210 g were divided into EAM group,CD40siRNA group,siRNA group,and normal control group randomly,with 10 rats in each group.The rats in EAM group,CD40siRNA group and siRNA group were induced by immunization with cardiac C protein and completed Freund adjuvant in double foot pads.The rats in normal control group were injected with PBS buffer in double foot pads.On the 8th day after immunization,the rats in CD40siRNA group were injected with CD40 siRNA expression vector,and the rats in siRNA group were injected with siRNA expression vector.The rats were sacrificed on day 21 after inoculation.The histopathologic changes were observed by light microscope and the myocardial histopathology scores were calculated.The expression of RORC mRNA of myocardium was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR).Enzyme linked immunoabsorption assay was used to determine the serum level of IL-17 and IL-23.Results Compared with EAM group,the myocardial histopathology score(2.34 ±0.60 vs 3.40 ±0.35,P ＜0.05),the expression ofRORC mRNA(2.13 ±0.28 vs 2.93 ±0.36,P ＜0.05) and the serum level of IL-17 (114.38 ± 8.29 vs 148.70 ± 5.04,P ＜ 0.05) and IL-23 (107.00 ± 7.69 vs 136.98 ± 23.16,P ＜ 0.05) were significantly lower in CD40 siRNA group.Conclusions It is suggested that CD40 siRNA expression vector might reduce myocardial injury by inhibiting Th-17 activation and down-regulating the expression of IL-17 and IL-23.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To identify keratin 5 (K5) and keratin 14 (K14) gene mutations in a family affected with epidermolysis bullosa simplex with mottled pigmentation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples obtained from eleven patients from the family and controls. All the exons of K5 and K14 genes were amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and directly sequenced.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>By DNA sequence analysis, a missense mutation in K5 gene (c.237C>T) was detected. The same mutation was not found in non-affected members from the family and normal controls.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Mutation in K5 gene (c.237C>T) may be responsible for the development of disease in this family.</p>
