Objective To study comparatively the changes in epi th elial growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) in injured intestine induced b y neutron and ?-ray irradiation in mice and their significance. Method s 350 male BALB/C mice were irradiated with neutron and ?-rays, and t hey were sacrificed at 6 and 12 hours and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 da ys, respectively, after irradiation. Immunohistochemical method was employed to assess EGF and EGFR in the intestinal tissue of the mice. Results After the neutron radiation with 2.5Gy dosage, the expressions of EGF and E GFR in the cytoplasm of mucosa epithelial cells and crypt cells were obviously u p-regulated within 1 day, decreased after 1~2 days, increased again on 3~7 days , reached the peak value at the 5th day, and returned to normal values in 14 day s. Whereas EGF and EGFR were increased at 6 hours and progressively decreased fr om 12 hours up to 4 days after 4.0 and 5.5Gy neutron and 12Gy g-ray radiation . They were increased progressively within 3 days, reaching peak value on the 3r d day, and returned to normal values 5 days after 5.5Gy g-ray irradiation. Conclusions The expressions of endogenous EGF and EGFR showed diffe rent regularities after neutron and g-ray radiation, and they were involved in the pathologic courses of radiation damage and recovery of the intestine.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) by balloon dilatation between unipedicular and bilateral pedicle approach for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). Methods From January 2012 to March 2014, 56 patients with single-level or double- level OVCF were randomly divided into two groups. 29 patients with 33 vertebral bodies were performed by PKP through unipedicular approach and 27 patients with 31 vertebral bodies through bipedicular approach , used PMMA bone cement filling vertebral. The clinical data of patients were prospectively analyzed and the clinical efficacy was compared between two groups. Results The VAS scores, Beck value, Cobb angle and ODI scores after operation improved in both groups (P < 0.01),but there were no significant difference between two groups(P > 0.05). The operative time, X-ray exposure time and volume of bone cement in unilateral group were less than that of bilateral group(P < 0.01). There were no significant difference in the incidence of bone cement leakage ,the pain relief and the incidence of complications between two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Both unipedicular and biopedicular PKP are significant improvement for the OVCF, vertebral strengthen showed similar efficacy, but the former has easy operation procedure, can shorten operative time and reduce X-ray exposure time and less volume of bone cement.

To improve the clinical teaching work, the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) was first introduced into the periodontal clinical assessment held by Departments of Periodon-titis and Mucosal Disease. With the OSCE exam station and item pool established, standardized pa-tients tralned, the examination form reformed, the knowledge, skill, and attitude of the examinee were assessed comprehensively. Compared with traditional exam,the OSCE evaluated the examinee's skills on clinical admissions, history collection, treatment plan development better. Most examinee have got satisfactory result (pass rate: 86.4 %, 19/22; good rate: 36.4%, 8/22; excellent rate: 9.1%, 2/22). The feedback of the following questionnalre also showed that most of the candidates thought the OSCE helpful to promoting the learning of theoretical knowledge (87.5%, 14/16) and good for converting the learned knowledge and skills into occupation ability (87.5%, 14/16).

Objective To summarize the curative effect of repairing large area soft tissue defects in heel and crus by flaps with double blood-supply of posterior tibial artery perforators and saphenous nerve nutrient vessels.Methods From January 2006 to February 2012,twenty cases took operation under the guide of Continuous Wave Doppler and design of tibial artery perforator as rotation point.And in all cases,island flaps with the blood supply from saphenous nerve nutrient vessels and tibial artery perforator were retained to repair large area soft tissue defects in heel and crus.In operations,the range of flap area were ranged from 19 cm × 11 cm to 11 cm × 8 cm.Skin flaps incision was up to the patella margin level,low to medial malleolus on edge,former to crus former median line,rear to after crus median line and farthest to the surface of wound on the metatarsophalangeal joint.Results Nineteen cases survived,and 1 case of skin flap mild necrosis at the farthest side took a second-phase line skin flap to repair.Followed-up from 6 months to 24 months was taken in all cases at the mean time of 10 months,with a result of good recovery and no ulceration for the flaps.To varying degree,all flaps recover sense of pain and deep touch.Conclusion There is no wound to posterior main tibial artery in repairing large area soft tissue defects in heel and crus by flaps with double blood-supply from posterior tibial artery perforators and saphenous nerve nutrient vessels,meanwhile to maintain double blood-supply from posterior tibial artery perforators and saphenous nerve nutrient vessels and expand the range of blood supply of posterior tibial artery perforators.In this operation,a blood circulation for the flap can be guaranteed so as for a large wound in heel and crus.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(ELRP)for prostate cancer patients, and to summarize the experience of surgical treatment. Methods The clinical data of 50 prostate cancer patients who underwent ELRP by the same performer from January 2010 to June 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Results All cases were all successfully completed ,no case was converted to open surgery. The average operation time was 238.8 min,average operative blood loss was 409.1 mL,and intraoperative or postopera?tive blood transfusion was 6(12%). The mean postoperative catheterization time was 23.7(17?38)d. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 15 (10?34)d. The postoperative recovery time of eating was 2?4 d,and the ambulation time was 1?3 d. Totally 3 cases(6%)had lymph node metasta?sis,and 7 cases(14%)had positive surgical margin. Totally 9 cases(18%)had surgery?related complication. Patients were followed up for 6 to 58 months,with an average of 12.5 months. One case(2%)had biochemical recurrence,and the tumor?free survival rate was 84%. At the end of fol?low?up,all of the patients were continent. Conclusion ELRP is safe and effective for the treatment of prostate cancer. With the development of minimally invasive techniques,the applications of RP are increasingly widespread. However,large?scale and long?term follow?up studies are still needed for high?risk prostate cancer patients.

Objective To study the expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in the intestine of mice irradiated by neutron and γ rays.Methods 350 male BALB/c mice were irradiated with neutron and γ rays of different doses, and sacrificed at 6 and 12hours, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 days after irradiation.The TNF-α in the mice intestinal tissue was detected by means of immunohistochemistry and image analysis.Results In normal control mice, TNF-α was expressed in the cytoplasm of macrophages in intestinal villus interstitium, submucosa and lymph tissue.After 2.5Gy neutron radiation, TNF-α was decreased progressively within 2 days, increased obviously in macrophages and crypt cells during 3rd～7th day, reached the peak at 5th day and recovered to normal level at 14th day and TNF-α was decreased progressively within 4 days after 4.0 and 5.5Gy neutron and 12Gy ray irradiation.TNF-α was increased obviously in 6～12 hours, decreased at 1st day, increased at 2nd～5th day, peaked at 3rd day and recovered at 10th day after 5.5Gy ray irradiation.Conclusion Neutron and ray radiation induce different expression profile of endogenous TNF-α in small intestine, which may be related with the pathologic courses of irradiation-induced damage and repair of intestine.

Objective To study changes and significance of endothelin(ET) in rat cerebral concussion.Methods 80 Wistar male rats were used for animal model of cerebral concussion,which were sacrificed on 1,3,7,14 and 30 days after injury and the brain tissue were taken off. The expression of ET was studied in the course of cerebral concussion by means of immunohistochemistry.Results Typical clinical manifestation was observed in the 100 g group in which the pathological changes included cerebral vascular constriction and dilatation,congestion and edema of cerebral tissue,neuronal degeneration,necrosis,and obviously decreased even disappeared Nissl bodies.Increased expression of ET was observed on the first day,the positive area was seen in the plasma of endothelial cells in cerebral cortex,hippocampus,cerebellum and thalamus.ET expression peak occurred on the 7th day,the positive area was also found in the plasma of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum.Decreased ET expression was found on 14th day and returned to normal level on the 30th day.Conclusion The main pathological changes of cerebral concussion contained blood circulation disorder,and degeneration and necrosis of substantial cells.ET was involved in the brain tissue injury during the pathological process of cerebral concussion and might be related to regulation of cerebral vascular reaction,and neuron degeneration and necrosis.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are currently used in the treatment of various tumors and play an important role in tumor treatment, resulting in many adverse reactions related to the immune system. Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is a rare endocrine system complication, which is rarely reported at present. We report a case of T1DM after using ICIs to treat gastric cancer. The patient was a 34 year old male who developed diabetes ketoacidosis after 206 days of sintilimab monoclonal antibody use, with fasting blood glucose of 15.78 mmol/L and glycosylated hemoglobin of 8.6%. Islet related antibody: Glutamate decarboxylase antibody: 119.2 IU/mL; Insulin antibody:<2 IU/L. Fasting insulin: 0.21 mU/L; Fasting C-peptide: 0.12 μg/L. Through the analysis of patients' clinical data, it aims to improve clinicians' understanding of immune related type 1 diabetes and provide ideas for correct diagnosis and treatment.

The development of information technology in the medical industry is accelerating the construction of 3-level rehabilitation networks centering on community-based rehabilitation, which is based on the Internet and in combination with the Internet of things(IOT). A municipal rehabilitation hospital cooperated with the health centers of sub-district communities in the city to build a remote rehabilitation network based on IOT technology, for rehabilitation training of community stroke patients. The two sides worked out a cooperation scheme on project management, designed and built a remote community rehabilitation management model. Under the remote monitoring and equipment data IOT, the medical team of the municipal rehabilitation hospital could formulate the therapeutic plan according to the immediately obtained relevant functional evaluation data, and the medical team of the community health service center was responsible for the implementation of the plan. Fifty-three patients in the experimental group received the training of remote lower limb intelligent feedback system based on IOT together with routine rehabilitation training. After 8 weeks of treatment, the functional evaluation data of the two groups were improved in varying degrees( P< 0.05), but the improvement of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group( P < 0.05). Remote rehabilitation under the construction path of remote rehabilitation network based on IOT technology could significantly promote the improvement of post-functional rehabilitation of community stroke patients. This study can provide reference for the construction of three-level remote rehabilitation networks based on IOT and the implementation of home-based remote rehabilitation therapy in the future.

Cationic liposomes,as non-viral vectors,are widely used in gene therapy and gene silencing.Although numerous cationic liposomes have various structures,they can all improve the per-formance of gene delivery.As gene therapy is increasingly studied,it may be foreseen that new cationic lipoplexes will be explored.In this review,we aim to discuss four constituent domains of cationic lipids(headgroup,hydrophobic domain,linker and helper lipids)in gene delivery.This article attempts to demonstrate that various lipid structures show different transfection efficiency and cytotoxicity by sum-marizing the similarities and differences between the four parts of cationic lipids.Furthermore,their major influencing factors are covered.Finally,three clinical cases of ionizable lipids are described to reveal their characteristics and differences from cationic lipids.This paper is intended to provide a conceptual framework for the design of cationic liposomes and for the selection of cationic lipids.
