Objective To investigate the risk factors associated with early mortality of the rapid two-stage arerial switch operation, which has a significantly higher overall mortality than that of ASO procedure for D-TGA with a intact ventricular septun. Methods The data we reviewed involving patients who underwent rapid two-stage switch operations from September,2002 to September, 2007 in our center, 13 patients were male and 8 were female, their age at operation ranged from 29 to 250 days afer birth, and the body weight was 3.5 to 7 kg. Chi-squared test and multivariant logistic regression methods were used for the analysis of demographic data, pre-diagnosis information, operation data, interval data combined with the operation time,left ventricle training condition, and the early post-operative outcomes. Results The operative mortality was high at initial stage, and then decreased gradually. The logistic multivariant regression analysis indicated that the mortality of left ventricular training operation was associated with the diameters of BT shunt ( P =0.003 ); the mortality of two-stage switch was associated with feminie ( P = 0.006 ) and pre-operative p. LV/RV ( P ＜ 0.001 ). Conclusion Patients with transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum who missed the optimal time for switch operation should receive rapid two-stage switch operations, which provide an opportunity for the correction of the deformity. The key factor associated with the success for operation was good in heart function after left ventricular training.

Objective To compare the results of HLA serological typing and gene typing in acuteleukemia before and after achieved complete remission.then make sure whether the HLA matching could be performed before remission of acute leukemia.Methods The peripheral blood samples of 20 patients with acute leukemia at onset and in complete remission were performed for the HLA serological typing and gene typing by complement-dependent microcytotoxicity(CDC)assay and PCR-sequence for specific primer. The class Ⅰ HLA antigens reaction was quoted as NIH score.and paired-sample t test Was performed.The class Ⅰand class Ⅱ HLA allele specificity of acute leukemia at onset Was compared with that in complete remission.Results No absence or change of the class Ⅰ and class Ⅱ HLA allele specificity in acute leukemia was observed before treatment and after complete remission.There were significant differences (P＜0.05) for HLA-A. B and Bw6 reaction at onset from complete remission.The expression of HLA-A, B and Bw6 was significant down-regulated.This phenomenon did not occur on Bw4 (P＞0.05).The relationship of down-regulation of class Ⅰ HLA antigens and the amount of blast in peripheral blood Was not observed.Conclusion HIA typing could be performed by molecular technique when patients with acute leukemia were diagnosed.It would shorten the period of HLA-matching,and increase the opportunity of finding an appropriate allergenic hematopoietic stem cell donor.

Objective To evaluate the long-term effects and safety of an intense pulsed light (IPL) in the treatment of epilation.Methods 159 patients received treatment with a non-coherent IPL because of unwanted facial and body hair.116 cases were followed up by means of phone call or letters.The average follow-up time was 38 months.Results Overall,36 (31.0％) patients were very satisfied,53 (45.7％) were satisfied and 27 (23.3％) remained unsatisfied with the outcome of lightassisted hair removal.The non-coherent intense pulsed light satisfactorily removed unwanted dark hair.Hair-free periods from weeks to years could be observed.Besides,the satisfaction was not related with the colour of the skin.Conclusions Hair removal by a non-coherent intense pulsed light is an effective and safe method for long-term epilation of unwanted hair.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the bacterial distribution and antibiotic resistance situation with urinary tract infection(UTI) for the guidance of rational use of antibiotics.METHODS The antibiotic resistance of clinical isolates from urinary tract infection from Mar 2005 to Jul 2006 was analyzed. RESULTS The most common pathogens in urinary tract infection were Escherichia coli(50.2%),Enterococcus(14.4%),Staphyloccus aureus(8.7%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(7.3%),and Proteus mirabilis(3.9%).E.coli,K.pneumoniae,and P.mirabilis were found to be highly resistant to ampicillin,quinolones and SMZ(70.6-100.0%).Enterococcus were highly resistant to penicillin and quinolones(81.0-96.8%).41.4% of E.coli and 31.3% of K.pneumoniae isolates produced ESBLs.HLGR-Enterococcus were 79.4%.78.9% S.aureus isolates were resistant to oxacillin.CONCLUSIONS The high antibiotic resistance of commonly encountered pathogens is a serious problem and much attention should be paid to detect pathogens and their antibiotic resistance.

Objective To explore the efficient way to purify and to enrich umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells which have abilities to differentiate into chondrocytes. Methods Umbilical cord was acquired from new born infants and chopped into 1 mm2 cubics, then they were pretreated with colleganase and trypsin so as to get the mixed cell suspension. CD45(-),CD90(+) cells were acquired from the mixed cell suspension via FCM sorting and were cultured in the medium as umbilical cord mesenchymal stem PO cells. The PO cells were detached and passaged by multiplex collagenase NB4 and the positive rate of CD90 and CD45 of the P1-P3 cells were observeed via FCM ; the P3 cells were induced to differentiated into chondrocytes. Results FCM results showed that the positive rate of CD90 on P1, P2, F3 was (80.86 ± 7.85)%,(95.86± 3.28)%,(97.15± 1.43)%, while the positive rate of CD45 on P1, P2, P3 cells was (2.53 ±0.28)% and (0.97 ± 0.48)% and (0.05 ± 0.01)% respectively; P3 cells had differenciated into chondrocytes. Conclusion FCM presorting and Multiplex collagenase detachment procedures can swiftly acquire highly purified human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells which have the ability to differentiate into chondroeytes.

This article was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture and flunarizine for migraine treatment. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in migraine treatment by acupuncture andflunarizine were searched in the Pubmed, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and W anfang database. The quality of inclusion criteria were assessedaccording to the CochraneCollaboration's recommended methodand the effective data was extracted. Then, the RevMan5.2 software was used in thesummary and analysis of the effective literatures. The results showed thatthe total sample size was893 cases, with 10 studies according to the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed that the short-term efficacy of the treatment group was higher than the control group [RR = 1.27, 95%CI (1.11, 1.45), P<0.000 4];the long-term efficacy of the treatment group was higher than the control group [RR = 1.76, 95%CI (1.05, 2.94), P=0.03]; headache degree of improvement was better than thecontrol group [MD = -2.00, 95%CI (-3.01, -0.99), P=0.000 1]. It was concluded that acupuncture was more effective than flunarizinein migraine treatment. However, the whole study sample size was relatively small, thequality assessment was not high, and the funnel plot analysis was left-right asymmetry, which indicated the presence of publication bias. It was concluded that more high-quality clinical cases should be confirmed in the future.
