Ohjective To know the proper wraping method for postoperative patients with neurosurgical intervention treatment. Methods Divided 94 patients with neurosurgical intervention treatment into the ban-dage group and the gauze group randomly, there were 47 cases in the each group. Bandage and gauze was used in the two groups for punctured wound respectively, and then compared the condition of complications and puncture location between the two groups. Results The incidence rate of puncture-associated comphcations in the bandage group was sinificant lower than that of in the gauze group. Conclusions Wraping by bandage for postoperative patients with neurosurgical intervention treatment is more effective than gauze method.

Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical or acute abdomen in childhood.Rapid and correct diagnosis is the premise of rational therapy,but there are still some problems in diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Sufficient comprehension about clinical features and differential diagnostic diseases,typical clinical symptoms,physical examination,laboratory examinations,ultrasonography or CT would make a definite diagnosis.Laparoscopy is also used to make a diagnosis if necessary.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of interventional procedure for treating the renal artery aneurysm (RAA).Methods From Jan 2009 to Apr 2014,17 patients,who were diagnosed as RAA and accepted the interventional therapy,were reviewed in our hospital.The mean age in those patients,including 7 males and 10 females,was (46.4±10.3) years old (range from 20 to 67 years old).The related symptoms included backache in 4 cases,abdominal pain in 4 cases,intermittent hematuria in 2 cases,chyluria in one case,oligouria in one case.9 cases were diagnosed as multiple RAA and 8 cases were confirmed as signle cases.In 17 cases,31 aneurysms were found,including 26 true aneurysms,5 pseudoaneurysums,17 sacculated aneurysms,4 spindle-like aneurysms,4 irregular shape aneurysms,4 parenchyma aneurysm and 2 dissecting aneurysm.8 aneurysms located in the main renal artery,19 aneurysms located in the branch of renal artery,4 aneurysums located in the renal parenchyma.Intracavitary coil embolization was used in 4 patients.We carried out parent artery embolization in 3 patients.A combination of the former techniques was performed in 6 cases.Covered stent placement was operated in one case.Combination of the intracavitary coil embolization and nude stent placement were performed in 2 patients.We used two techniques in one patient with multiple artery aneurysms in both sides.Results The interventional treatment of RAAs succeed at the first operation in 16 of 17 patients.17 cases were followed-up from 3 to 53 months (mean 23 months).No severe complications or death cases occurred in this study.Urine occult blood in 3 patients turned to negative after one week.Primary symptoms such as gross hematuria,abdominal pain,lumbodorsalgia,fever vanished or obviously eased after a month.Laboratory tests showed that normal level in SCr,BUN,routine urinalysis 3 months,6 months and 1 year later.No tendency of stent and coil stent shifting was found in 16 patients and the parent arteries were patent in 8 cases,with reexamination bv ultrasonic or computed tomography angiography (CTA).Conclusions Interventional techniques are minimally-invasive,safe and effective methods for treating the RAAs.

Objective To evaluate tumor angiogenesis and clinical significance by contrast-enhanced CT in case of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods 30 patients with NSCLC underwent dynamic thoracic CT, and histopathological slides were carefully prepared for VEGF immunohistochemical staining. Maxium attenuations of dynamic CT were compared with VEGF expression levels and lymph-node metastases. Results The mean peak attentation was (36.28?6.41)HU, VEGF positive expressions were in 21 patients, and negative expressions were in 9 patients. VEGF expression levels in patients with NSCLC stage II and III were higher than those in stage I , and in lymph node metastases group, the expression levels of VEGF were also higher than those in non-metastatic nodes. CT enhancement of NSCLC was positively related to VEGF expression,neoplasm stage and lymph-node metastases. Conclusion CT enhancement of NSCLC can reflect tumor angiogenesis and correlate to lymph-node metastases closely, help lung cancer diagnoses,neoplasm stage, and serve as a supplement to the present staging system for lung cancer in biological behavior.

OBJECTlVE To study the effect of ganoderma poIysaccharide( GLP)on zebrafish ( Danio rerio)survivaI,deveIopment and senescence. METHODS A p53-knockout zebrafish modeI was estabIished by injecting of morphoIino phosphorodiamidate(mO)into normaI zebrafish eggs in the singIe ceII deveIopment stage. Different concentrations of GLP 1,2 and 3 g·L-1 were used to treat both wiId type and p53-knockout zebrafish embryos 8 h post fertiIization(8 hpf)under 28℃ for 3 d. The survivaI and maIformation rates were caIcuIated after 72 hpf,and the effect of GLP on ceII senescence was evaI-uated by senescence associated β-gaIactosidase(SA-β-gaI)staining both in wiId type and p53-knockout zebrafish embryos. In addition,the differentiaI gene expression of cancer inhibitor gene(p53),teIomer-ase reverse transcriptase( TERT),murine doubIe minute2( mdm2)and p21 was examined by RT-PCR both in wiId type and p53-knockout zebrafish embryos after treatment with different concentrations of GLP. RESULTS GLP 1 and 2 g·L-1 had no effect on deveIopment of wiId type zebrafish embryos,but after GLP 3 g·L-1 treatment,most of zebrafish embryos dispIayed maIformation and the survivaI rate was onIy 48.6%. GLP 1,2 and 3 g·L-1 had no effect on survivaI and deveIopment of p53-knockout zebrafish embryos. After GLP 2 g·L-1 treatment for 3 d,the SA-β-gaI staining positive rate of wiId type zebrafish embryos was reduced compared with controI group(P﹤0.01),whiIe there was no significant change in p53-knockout zebrafish embryos. The resuIts of RT-PCR showed that GLP 2 g·L-1 treatment depressed p21 and p53 gene expression(P﹤0.05,P﹤0.01),and had no effect on mdm2 and TERTgene expres-sion of wiId type zebrafish embryos. For p53-knockout zebrafish embryos,the TERT,mdm2,p21 and p53 gene expression dispIayed no significant difference after GLP 2 g·L-1 treatment. CONCLUSlON GLP 2 g·L-1 may improve senescence of wiId type zebrafish embryo ceIIs. GLP ≥3 g·L-1 may Iead to death and abnormaI deveIopment of wiId type zebrafish embryos. The improvement of GLP on senescence of wiId type zebrafish embryo ceIIs might be mediated by its down-reguIation of p21 and p53 gene expression.

Objective To investigatc the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein-serine-threonine kinases (Akt) signal pathway in ginsenoside Rb1 pretreatment-induced attenuation of myocardial ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury in diabetic rats.Methods Male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were used in this study.Diabetes mellitus was induced by intraperitoneal streptozotocin and confirmed by fasting blood glucose ≥ 16.7mmol/L.Eight weeks after diabetes mellitus was induced,48 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n =12each):group myocardial I/R (group I/R); group ginsenoside Rb1 (group R); group ginsenoside Rb1 + wortmannin (PI3K inhibitor) (group RW) and group wortmannin (group W).Myocardial I/R was induced by occlusion of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120 min reperfusion.Ginsenoside Rb1 40 mg/kg was injected iv at 10 min before ischemia in groups R and RW,while in groups RW and W wortmannin 15 μg/kg was injected iv at 20 min before ischemia.Arterial blood samples were collected at the end of 120 min reperfusion for determination of creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities.The rats were then sacrificed.The infarct size was measured by tetrazolium method.Myocardial apoptosis was detected by TUNEL and apoptotic index (the number of apoptotic myocardial cells/the total number of myocardial cells) was calculated.The expression of Akt and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) was determined by Western blotting.Results Ginsenoside Rb1 pretreatment significantly reduced the infarct size,myocardial cell apoptotic index and serum CK and LDH activities and up-regulated p-Akt expression in group R as compared with group I/R.The protective effects of ginsenoside Rbl against myocardial I/R injury were significantly attenuated by wortmannin pretreatment in group RW compared with group R.Conclusion PI3K/Akt signal pathway is involved in the protective effects of ginsenoside Rb1 against myocardial I/R injury in diabetic rats.

OBJECTIVETo investigate clinical characteristics and pathological changes of tissue surrounding prosthesis after hip and knee arthroplasty.

METHODSA total of 67 patients receiving hip and knee arthroplasty were included in the study and pathological changes of the revision specimens were evaluated by microscopic examination.

RESULTSOf 67 patients, there were 25 males and 42 females (ratio of 0.6) with a mean age of 64 years. There were 42 cases of revision hip prosthesis and 25 cases of knee prosthesis. The primary causes for the revision varied, including 20 cases of infection (29.9%, within 3 months in 9 cases,3 to 24 months in 3 cases and over 24 months in 8 cases), 14 cases of pain (20.9%), 13 cases of loosening of the prosthesis (19:4%), 9 cases of joint stiffness (13.4%), 8 cases of prosthetic dislocation (11.9%), and 3 cases of prosthesis fracture (4.5%). Pathological findings in the tissue surrounding the prostheses included debris reaction, histiocytes, acute inflammatory, chronic non-specific inflammation, pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS), "pseudomembranous", calcification, necrosis, sequestrum, etc. These histological changes were frequently admixed.

CONCLUSIONSVarious reasons may lead to hip and knee revision arthroplasty. The main pathological findings include infection, debris granulomas, chronic non-specific inflammatory changes, PVNS. The surgical pathology of the prosthesis provids guidances for clinical treatment and basic research.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of carbon monoxide(CO) on the permeability of brain blood barrier(BBB) in cerebral ischemic rats. METHODS: SD rats were divided into three groups. Saline, hemin or ZnPP were injected intraperitoneally 12 h before middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), respectively. The concentration of blood CO and the permeability of BBB at 24 h after MCAO were measured. RESULTS: The CO concentration in blood in hemin group was higher than that in saline group( P 0.05). CONCLUSION: CO reduced the permeability of BBB as a messenger gas molecular when its intrinsic concentration was elevated.

Objective To review the authors′ experience in the diagnosis and management of Hirschsprung′s disease (HD) in newborn during a 7 year′s period (1995～2002),and evaluate a new therapeutic regime. Methods Clinical data of all 155 newborn HD cases were analyzed. Protocols were compared before and after May 2000. Results Barium enemas, anorectic manometry and rectal biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of HD in 155 newborn cases. Two stage radical procedure was performed in 107 cases , and one stage in 48 cases. One hundred and forty-seven cases were cured. Postoperative pneumonia occurred in 25 cases, wound dishences in 8 cases with 8 deaths. There was substantial difference in the incidence of complications, hospital stay and mortality between the two periods. Conclusions (1) Gastrointestinal perforation in neonatal HD cases should be managed by rectal biopsies during the exploration. (2)Different surgical treatment should be adopted in HD cases less than one month of age.
