A biological study was made to estimate the influence of excess dietary zinc, in vivo, on iron and copper status and their antagonism. Chicks were randomly divided into four groups (n= 22 each) according to body weight and were fed on experimental diet with different amounts of zinc, iron and copper for 28 days. The results were as follows; 1. Excess dietary zinc (400ppm) caused retardation of growth rate in experimental chicks, hypochromic anemia, elevation of blood and tissues (liver, kidney) zinc levels and lowering iron, copper and ceruloplasmin content,and eryth-rocyte Cu-Zn-superoxide dismutase activity; 2. Copper alone supplemented up to 40ppm to the excess zinc diet was able to improve the growth rate, body copper status and Cu-Za-superoxide dismutase activity, but no effect on anemia and body iron status; 3. Iron and copper were supplemented up to 400ppm and 40ppm respectively to excess zinc diet at same time, all the parameters were similar to the chicks fed basal diet. These data suggested that supplement of iron and copper at proper proportion to excess zinc diet can prevent the adverse effects of excess zinc on chicks.

Objective To explore the effects of α-keto acid combined with low protein diet on oxidative stress and electrolyte levels in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Methods Ninety-eight cases with type 2 diabetic nephropathy were randomLy divided into the treatment group(low-protein diet with α-keto acid 1 tablet,n=58) and the control group(normal protein intake,n=40). The 24 h urinary albumin excretion rate,glomerular filtra-tion rate ,serum oxidative stress (SOD ,MDA ,AOPPs) and electrolyte levels were measured before and after treatment. Results After 24 weeks of treatment,the 24 h urinary albumin excretion rate of DN patients in the treatment group was significantly lower than that before treatment and the control group (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant change in the glomerular filtration rate of the patients. Compared with the control group , the serum SOD activity of DN patients was significantly increased and the levels of MDA and AOPPs were decreased(P < 0.05)after 24 weeks of treatment. Simultaneously,the levels of serum potassium and phosphorus in the treatment group was decreased ,while the levels of calcium and magnesium were improved (P < 0.05). Conclusion α-keto acid combined with low protein diet can significantly reduce the urinary albumin excretion rate,improve the body′s antioxidant activity,and maintain serum electrolytes balance.

[Objective]To introduce a new technique of ankle arthrodesis with trephine by lateral approach and evaluate its clinical effects.[Method]Ankle arthrodesis with trephine was performed in 20 patients with serious lesions.Lateral incision was adopted and osteotomy of fibula facilitated the exposure of the fusion site.A trephine of appropriate diameter was used for bi-osteotomy,thus inside the trephine gaining two bone blocks were then rotated 90? and replanted in situ.The pruned fibula was fixed with screws as on-lay!grafting.Proper cast was utilized postoperatively to maintain a functional position.[Result]The average follow-up period was 26 months(ranged from 6 months to 4 years).All the wounds healed well at 2 weeks and the callus appeared 4 weeks postoperatively.Sufficient pain relief was obtained in all patients at 12 weeks and appearance improved greatly.A solid union was achieved in all cases through the radiograph.[Conclusion]The use of trephine in ankle fusion by lateral approach is proved to be a simple technique with high union rate.The main advantages of the technique over other methods of arthrodesis include: excellent exposure by regular incision;less disturbance of the original joint,thereby preserving normal height of the joint and length of the extremity;no need for extra graft through in-situ grafting of the bone blocks and rigid on-lay grafting of lateral malleolus for high primary stability.

Objective:To study the application value of different operation methods in the treatment of left hepatolithiasis in special position (the stone is located in the sagittal section of left portal vein and/or near the proximal end of left hepatic vein).Methods:From July 2015 to June 2018, 58 patients with left hepatolithiasis in special position in Department of General Surgery, the First People′s Hospital of Tianmen City of Hubei Province were analyzed retrospectively. According to the different operation methods, they were divided into two groups: left liver excision under laparoscopy and gallbladder incision stone group (left liver excision group, n=28) and laparoscopic left-half liver excision and bile tube excision stone removal group (left half liver excision group, n=30). The operation time, intraoperative bleeding, postopera-tive hospital stay, postoperative biliary fistula, postoperative bleeding, postoperative stone residue and stone recurrence were compared between the two groups.The measurement data with normal distributions were represented as ( Mean± SD), and comparison between groups was done using the t test. The chi-square test and Fisher precision test were used for comparison between counting data. Results:All 58 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery. Left liver excision group surgery time, in-serum bleeding, number of days hospitalized after surgery, number of postoperative bile fistula cases, number of postoperative bleeding cases were (161.53±30.56) min, (203.45±26.69) mL, (9.26±3.3. 86) days, 1 case, 1 case, left half liver excision group (153.16±42.63) min, (198.79±30.82) mL, (9.59±4.01) days 1 case, 1 case, The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The number of postoperative stone residues was more than that of the left liver and outer leaf excision group (4 cases) than that of the left half of the liver excision group (1 case), and the number of postoperative stone recurrence cases was more than that of the latter (1 case), all of which were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The number of stone residues and stone recurrences after left liver excision group was 4 and 5 cases respectively, and the left half liver excision nurses were 1 case and 1 case, respectively, and the difference between the two was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For the left hepatolithiasis in special position (the stone is located in the sagittal section of the left branch of the portal vein and (or near the proximal end of the left hepatic vein in imaging), the lower abdominal left hemihepatectomy + choledocholithotomy is a safer and more effective treatment.

Purpose:To clarify the different expression patterns of the cyclins and P21 between the normal breast epithelium cells and breast cancer cells of different degrees of malignancy.Methods:Using Western Blot, we detected the protein expression of cyclin D1, E, and p21 in the normal breast epithelium cells AG11132A, ER positive MCF 7 breast cancer cells and ER negative MDA MB 231 breast cancer cells.Results:(1) P21 protein was highly expressed and cyclin E lowly expressed in the normal breast epithelium cells. Compared with the normal breast epithelium cells, Cyclin E were highly expressed in breast cancer cells of MCF 7 and MDA MB 231 cells. Abnormal low molecular weight cyclin E was co expressed with normal cyclin E in both MCF 7 and MDA MB 231 breast cancer cells, but not in normal breast epithelium cells AG11132A. (2) In breast cancer cells, compared with the ER positive MCF 7 cells the ER negative MDA MB 231 cells expressed a high level of cyclin E protein but low p21.Conclusions:(1) There are many forms of differences both quantitive and qualitative between normal cells and cancer cells, as well as between relatively low degree and high degree invasive malignant cancer cells. (2) Cyclin E and P21 may be potential indicators that reflect the malignancy of breast cancer cells, but they should be analyzed as a whole in order to get more accurate prognostic information. [

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical effect and safety of Shenfu injection combined with linezolid in the treatment of severe pneumonia caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). METHODS:In retrospective study,62 MRSA severe pneumonia patients selected from ICU of our hospital during Jun. 2012-Oct. 2015 were divided into observation group (25 cases)and control group(28 cases)according to medication plan. Based on routine treatment,control group was additionally given Linezolid injection 600 mg,ivgtt,bid. Observation group was additionally given Shenfu injection intravenously with initial dose of 60 mL,and then given continuous intravenous infusion of 60 mL at a rate of 20 mL/h,q12 h,on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for consecutive 2 weeks. Clinical efficacy,bacteriological efficacy,cardiac function indexes and serum levels of inflammatory factors before and after treatment as well as the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:The clinical response rate of observation group was 88.00%,which was significantly higher than 60.71% of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Bacterial clearance rate of observation group was 72.00%, and that of control group was 64.28%,there was no statistical significance between 2 groups(P>0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in cardiac function indexes and serum inflammatory factor levels between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,LVEF,SV,CO and CI of 2 groups were increased significantly compared to before treatment,while the levels of TNF-α,IL-6,CRP and PCT were de-creased significantly;the indexes of observation group was significantly better than those of control group,with statistical signifi-cance (P<0.05). No severe ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Shenfu injection combined with linezolid effectively improves the cardiac function of patients with MRSA severe pneumonia,enhances the anti-inflammatory effect,and have a very significant clinic effect with good safety.

Objective To investigate the surgical treatment of infected femoral pseudoaneurysm caused by injection of heroin. Method Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 14 cases of infected ruptured femoral pseudoaneurysm caused by injection of heroin. Results All 14 cases underwent operation. The ruptured sizes of arteries were 0.5 cm-2.0 cm . All cases were treated by resection of the aneurysm and replacement of iliac-femoral artery with artificial graft. Blood supply and function were good in all limbs after operations. Aneurysm cavities and incision wounds were treated with debridement, drainage and anti-infective treatment. All wounds were healed. 2 weeks and 3 months after operation, the grafts were patency demonstrated by Color Doppler examination. None of them was complicated with anastomosis leakage or thrombosis. Conclusion Thorough debridement of aneurysms and reconstruction of the artery are the effective approach in treating the infected ruptured femoral pseudoaneurysm caused by injecting heroin. Sufficient drainage, anti-infective and anti-coagulation therapy should be considered after the operation.
