BACKGROUND: Alveolar bone grafting is known to reduce nasal asymmetry by supporting a defective alar baseand a sunken nostril. However, there are no studies on details of changes in the upper lip with appropriatemeasurements.OBJECTIVE: To measure the change in the upper lip height and nostril sill after alveolar bone grafting.METHODS: Forty-six congenital unilateral cleft lip and alveolus (UCLA) patients (mean age 9.85 years). The patients underwent alveolar bone grafting with autogenous iliac bone grafts. The average bone graft volume was 2.98 cm3.Photographs of the frontal, lateral and basal views were obtained using standardized photographic techniques. The fixedposition points on the patients' faces were measured. Preoperative and postoperative upper lip height and projection, theproportion indexes of the nostril sill were compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The 6-month follow-up results showed that the height of the upper lip was increased,but no significant difference was found. The projection of the upper lip was more prominent, but there was not statisticallysignificant difference bbetween pre- and post-operation. The nostril sill was significantly elevated in three of four distanceitems. In conclusion, the height of the upper lip is elongated and the nostril sill is elevated after alveolar bone grafting inUCLA patients.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Tangshenkang in the prevention and treatment of diabetic nephropathy. Methods HK-2 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into control group, high glucose group (30 mmol/L D-glucose), control group (30 mmol/L D-glucose+10% animal serum), and Tangshenkang drug-containing serum therapy groups (30 mmol/L D-glucose+5%low concentration Tangshenkang, 30 mmol/L D-glucose+10%middle concentration Tangshenkang, 30 mmol/L D-glucose+20% high concentration Tangshenkang). After 24 h and 48 h treatment, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in cell cultural supernatant were observed by ELISA. Results MMP-9 of HK-2 cultured with high glucose was much decreased and TIMP-1 increased significantly than the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). TIMP-1 significantly decreased and MMP-9 increased in HK-2 cultured with high glucose plus Tangshenkang compared with those only induced by high glucose, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Tangshenkang could regulate the secretion of fibrosis cell factor of HK-2 cell induced by high glucose, which may be one of the mechanisms in its treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

Objectives To observe the effect ofGuizhi-Fuling capsule on the expression of AngⅡand eNOS.Methods 72 male Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats, aged three months, were randomly divided into three groups: a sham-operated group(n=24),a model group (n=24) and a treatment group (n=24). Renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis model was established via unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO). Rats in the treatment group were treated withGuizhi-Fulingcapsule (125mg/kg),and the same volume of normal saline were given to the rats in the sham -operated group and the model group at the same time. Rats were put to death at day 7, 14, 21 Immunohisto-chemistry staining was performed to investigate both the expression of AngⅡ, eNOS in TIF. Results 1 Renal interstitium injury was seen in the model group and the treatment group rats at day 7. The degree of renal interstitium fibrosis in rats from the treatment group was lighter than that of the model group at day 7, 14, 21 (P< 0.01).2 At day 7,14 and 21, the expression of AngⅡin rats from the model group and the treatment group were higher than that of the sham-operated group (P<0.01), but those of the treatment group was lower than those of the model group (P< 0.01). The expression of AngⅡ in rats from the model and the treatment groups were increasing,the highest in the 21th day (P<0.01).3 At day 7, 14 and 21, the expression of eNOS in rats from the model group and the treatment group were lower than that of the sham-operated group (P<0.01).ConclusionsGuizhi-Fuling capsule can alleviate the lesion of renal tissue in obstructive kidney and delay the development of TIF.

Liver transplantation is an effective curative treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma patients. However, most patients lost the change of surgery when diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma. Through local or systemic treatment, hepatocellular carcinoma can be treated in a downstaging manner to reduce tumor burden, so that patients who are beyond the transplantation criteria can still be up to the transplantation criteria after treatment, and finally receive liver transplantation. At present, pre-transplant downstaging treatment has been widely accepted. In this review, we summarized the indications, treatment options, treatment endpoints, and treatment outcomes of pre-transplant downstaging treatment.

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical effects of different doses of meropenem in the treatment of septic shock. METHODS One hundred and six patients with septic shock were randomly divided into standard-dose group and high-dose group, with 53 cases in each group. Patients in the standard-dose group were given standard dose of meropenem (initial intravenous injection of 1 g meropenem more than 30 minutes, followed by 1 g meropenem intravenously every 8 hours, each time for more than 3 hours); patients in the high-dose group were given high dose of meropenem (initial intravenous injection of 2 g meropenem more than 30 minutes, followed by 2 g meropenem intravenously every 8 hours, each time for more than 3 hours); other treatment measures were determined based on the specific conditions of the patients. The main observation indicators were the increments of sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores and simplified acute physiology score Ⅱ (SAPS Ⅱ) after 3, 5 and 7 days of treatment in both groups. Secondary observation indicators included in-hospital mortality, 90-day all-cause mortality, 7-day microbial cure rate, 7-day clinical cure rate, serum procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels after 3, 5 and 7 days of treatment, hospitalization days in the intensive care unit, ventilator treatment days, the highest dose of norepinephrine. The occurrence of adverse drug reaction in the two groups was observed. RESULTS The increments of SOFA scores and SAPS Ⅱ after 7 days of treatment, the levels of PCT and CRP after 5 and 7 days of treatment as well as the 90-day all-cause mortality in the high- dose group were significantly lower than the standard-dose group (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in other indicators between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS High-dose meropenem treatment for septic shock has better clinical effects and is safer than standard-dose meropenem.
