Objective To investigate the method and influencing factors of laser treatment in the removal of complicated tattoos.Methods 1280 patients with tattoos were treated by Versapulse four wavelength laser system.According to different colors,we selected different energy parameters and wavelength.Results All the 1280 patients got satisfied results after the therapy. The response was mainly related with the composition of their tattoos' color, as well as the proper choosing of laser wavelength and parameter.Conclusions According to feature of different tattoos,selecting reasonable wavelength and therapeutic parameters to treat the complicated tattoos can obtain better efficacy.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic methods for hypertrophy of nasal tip so as to create an aesthetic shape of nasal tip. Methods The “seagull-wing incision”was used in all patients. According to various nasal tip contours, trimming of soft tissues and reconstruction of alar cartilage were preformed simultaneously. Excessive soft tissue between skin and alar cartilage was removed; after exposing the domal segment of the alar cartilage, cartilage was resected from lateral crus to middle crus with a width of 0.2 cm marginal lateral crus was left. The shape of nasal tip was recontoured by middle crus suture technique. Others deformities of nose were corrected then: 10 patients with flat and low nasal tip were operated for nasal augmentation; 9 patients with thickening nasal wing were operated for thinning rim; 3 patients with wide bases of nasal wing were operated for shortening width through intraoral approach and one patient with broad nasal bone was operated with osteotome, infractured and displaced in the midline. An exteral splint was placed over the tape for 5-7 days postoperatively. Results Since 1995, follow-up for 3 to 24 months showed that 25 cases had achieved satisfactory cosmetic effects without secondary deformity except 3 early cases. Conclusion Trimming of soft tissues and reconstruction of alar cartilage are effective methods for correction of hypertrophy of nasal tip.

Objective To establish the preferable puberty pathological aggression animal model.Methods The experimental models were established towards puberty rats by frustration test of non-reward and instigation test.Rat models were tested for specificity using open-field test,saccharine test,elevated plus-maze(EPM)and olfactory sensibility.Results ①Compared with normal aggression(52.5±5.36)and control group(8.83±1.34)in total aggressive times,the pathological aggression group(101.17±2.85)increased significantly(P<0.01);②Some behavior items of each model group were moderately or hishly correlated to total score(r=0.379～0.929);③There was a significant difference between pathological aggression group and normal aggression group in the numbers of attack toward vulnerable-body regions,persistence attack after intruder displayed submissive and hish attack/threat ratios(P<0.01);④The pathological aggression group did not show depression,anxiety and olfactory disorder,except for space cognitive function(P>0.05).However,the normal aggression group displayed obvious depressive mood.Conclusion Each behavioral index matches the criteria of pathological aggression model.Meanwhile,it also excludes other factors of disturbing the specificity of the model.It suggests this model may be preferable puberty pathological aggression animal model.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of tetrandrine (Tet) on nitroglycerin(GTN)-induced activation of the satellite cells released inflammatory cytokines and to explore its mechanism.

METHODNeonatal rat satellite cells of trigeminal ganglia were cultured and separated into three groups. Group CON: the cells were normal cultured; Group TGN: the cells were cultured with 0.55 mmol x L(-1) GTN; Group Tet: the cells were treated with 0.55 mmol x L(-1) GTN and 1 x 10(-7) mol x L(-1) Tet respectively. Cell viability after GTN and Tet was detected by AlamarBlue assay. The concentration change of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in single satellite cell loaded with Fluo-3/AM was determined by laser scanning confocal microscopy. NF-kappaB and IL-1beta mRNA levels were determined by FQ-PCR. Through double-immunofluorescent staining identifies satellite cells and determines the expression of NF-kappaB protein.

RESULTSatellite cells activities decreased with GTN stimulating, but according to the viability and modality of the cells, 1 x 10(-7) mol x L(-1) Tet was the suitable prophylaxis. Tet can inhibit the elevation of cytosolic free calcium of rat satellite cell and decrease the mRNA and protein levels of NF-kappaB and the mRNA levels of IL-1beta.

CONCLUSIONVia preventing Ca2+ influxion, Tet inhibited NF-kappaB activation of satellite cell which decreased IL-1beta expression.

"Tendon Constraining Bone"is an essential theory in osteology and traumatology of traditional Chinese medicine,originating from the statement in Suwen(Plain Questions)that"convergent tendon controlling bones and joints".Since the Yuan and Ming dynasties,the theory of"Tendon Constraining Bone"was formed based on the understanding of anatomical relationships and the need for pathogenesis interpretation,developed by medical practitioners such as ZHU Danxi and ZHANG Jie.The"Tendon Constraining Bone"theory summarizes the physiological connections between tendons and bones and between tendons and zang-fu organs and meridians.Tendons and bones are structurally connected and functionally related,reflected in sturdy bones and tough tendons,upright bones and soft tendons with smoothly-flowing qi and blood,all tendons being related to joints,and thews being related to bones.Tendons and bones are related by meridians and zang-fu organs,specifically reflected in the Yangming channel governing the nourishment of tendons,liver governing tendons,kidneys governing bones,Taiyang channel governing tendons,and Shaoyang channel governing bones.The abnormality of"Tendon Constraining Bone"is the general pathogenesis of various tendon and bone diseases,and it can be caused by changes in the tendon and bone structure,nourishment deficiency,or the pathogenic qi retention.The pathological manifestations of abnormal"Tendon Constraining Bone"are manifested in form and state.Abnormalities in form can manifest as tendon rupture,bone fractures,tendon dislocation,and bone dislocation,whereas abnormalities in state can manifest as tendon urgency,bone pain,tendon laxity,and bone softness.The"Tendon Constraining Bone"theory has influenced the development of treatment principles such as combining motion and quiescence,paying equal attention to bone and flesh,and combining internal and external treatment.This theory has guided the application of basic treatment method such as connecting and rectifying tendons and bones,smoothing tendons and relieving bones,and nourishing tendons and strengthening bones.Therefore,the"Tendon Constraining Bone"theory can significantly guide tendon and bone disease diagnosis and treatment.

AIM: To analyze the risk factors for recurrence after pterygium excision and the influence on corneal astigmatism and tear film break-up time.METHODS:Retrospective study. A total of 110 pterygium patients(110 eyes)admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected, including 77 primary pterygium patients(77 eyes)and 33 recurrent pterygium patients(33 eyes). Pterygium excision was performed in all patients. The corneal astigmatism and tear film break-up time of patients with pterygium were measured before and after operation. The recurrence of pterygium was analyzed and the risk factors of recurrence were analyzed.RESULTS:In this study, 8 eyes with pterygium recurred after excision, and the recurrence rate was 7.3%. There was no difference in corneal astigmatism of all patients before and after surgery(2.02±0.32 vs 2.00±0.32 D, P>0.05), and there was a difference in tear film break-up time(9.55±1.24 vs 13.46±2.56 s, P<0.05). The results of multi-factor Logistics regression analysis showed that age, working environment, diabetes, pterygium nature, postoperative tear film break-up time and operation method were the factors that affected the recurrence of pterygium after excision(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Age, working environment, diabetes mellitus, pterygium nature, postoperative tear film break-up time and surgical method are all risk factors for postoperative recurrence of pterygium.
