BACKGROUND:Autologous hard palate mucosa has been validated to be a substitute of the tarsal conjunctival. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the treatment outcomes of autologous hard palate mucosa applied in the eyelid reconstruction. METHODS:180 patients (180 eyes) with eyelid defects aged 10-63 years old were recruited, including 122 males and 58 females, and subjected to the transplantation of autologous hard palate mucosa. In the same time, flaps were designed and transferred into the defected eyelid soft tissues. All patients were followed up for over 3 months to observe the treatment outcomes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Three months after surgery, viscous secretions were found in the implanted region and conjunctival sac, which were relieved and eliminated by usage of antibiotic drops. All implanted hard palate mucosa survived within 1 year, neither infections nor falling off occurred, and blood vessels growth into the implant-tissue conjugation that inosculated with the host vessels presenting no rejection. The implants revealed different degrees of shrink in 132 patients, but the eye function was normal. During the hospitalization, some uncomfortable feeling such as eye pain had been relieved, and the wound showed no infections and healed well. During the follow-up, there were eight patients with slight lower eyelid ectropion and three with hypophasis. The length or height difference of both eyelids was within 2 mm, except those who lost eye bal s. These results suggest that autologous hard palate mucosa achieve satisfactory outcomes in the eyelid reconstruction and possesses good histocompatibility.

Objective To investigate imaging findings of primary laryngeal amyloidosis in order to improve the diagnosis of this disease.Methods Findings of plain CT and contrast enhanced CT scanning of three cases of laryngeal amyloidosis confirmed by biop-sy were investigated.Results Of the three cases,one case was located,two cases was diffused.The pharyngeal stenosis,bronchus in-vasion and calcification were showed in one case respectively.All the three cases showed mild homogenous enhancement similaryly. Of the three patients,one case was hospitalized by hoarseness and a serious sense of obstruction,and two cases by feeling pharyngeal pain.Conclusion This disease is rare ,and difficult differentiated from laryngeal carcinoma,but a correct diagnosis can be obtained by combining the CT findings with clinical manifestation.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of combined fascia sheath suspension and frontal muscle flap suspension in the treatment of congenital severe congenital ptosis.Methods 46 cases (58 eyes) with congenital severe upper eyelid prolapse who were treated from March 2015 to March 2016 in Eye Hospital of Hebei Province were selected.The patients were divided into two groups:combined fascial sheath suspension group and frontalis muscle flap suspension.Comparisons of postoperative patients with eyelid height,eyelid radian,corneal exposure with eyes closed,eyelid activity,complication of the situation were carried out.And patient satisfaction survey was conducted.Results The effective rate of combined fascial sheath suspension group was 93.10％,the complication rate was 6.9％,and the patient satisfaction rate was 91.22±0.37,significantly better than the frontal muscle flap suspension group of patients (75.86 ％,24.14 ％ and 75.05 ± 0.28,respectively).The time of closure of the eyelid was shortened,the complications were less,and the eyelid had better activity.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusions Combined fascia sheath for congenital severe upper eyelid droop is significant,with fewer complications and a higher rate of satisfaction,which is worth clinical promotion.

AIM: To study the effect of p19ARF on the biological behavior of human leukemia cells. METHODS: p19ARF was cloned in eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1 and transferred into INK4a/ARF locus-deficient leukemia cells HEL and K562. The changes in biological characteristics of the two p19ARF-transfected cells were observed. RESULTS: The growth of the p19ARF-transfected HEL cells was significantly inhibited compared with the vector-transfected cells; Cell cycle analysis showed that the expression of foreign p19ARF gene resulted in G1 phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis cell death in some of HEL cells. However, p19ARF had no marked effects on the growth of K562 cells with p53 gene mutation and did not induce apoptosis in K562 cells. CONCLUSION: p19ARF suppressed the growth of leukemia cells by p53 -dependent pathway.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of tissue mitral annular displacement (TMAD) in the assessment of left ventricular long axis systolic function and the relationship of obese degree with left ventricular long axis systolic function in patients with abdominal obesity.MethodsThirty-eight abdominal obesity cases and thirty-four healthy cases were investigated using echocardiography.The images of apical four-chamber view and apical two-chamber view were obtained,systolic mitral annular displacement (MADs),mid-point of mitral annular displacement(MAD-midpt),mid-point of mitral annular normalized displacement(MAND-midpt) and mid-point of mitral annular biplanar normalized displacement(MABNDmidpt) were measured by the technique of TMAD.Their characteristics between patients with abdominal obesity and healthy group were compared,and the relationship of waist-hip ratio(WHR) and related indexes of MAD were analyzed.ResultsIn abdominal obesity group,the MADs at the four site were significantly decreased compared with control group (P＜0.001,respectively),the MAD-midpt and MAND-midpt of apical four-chamber view and apical two-chamber view were significantly decreased compared with control group (P＜0.001,respectively).The WHR related with MABND-midpt independently by the analysis of partial correlation(r=-0.697,P=0.000).ConclusionsThe left ventricular long axis systolic function were damaged in patients with abdominal obesity.The technique of TMAD could quantitatively assess the left ventricular long axis systolic function in patients with abdominal obesity.

Objective:To investigate the differences in cerebral oxygen metabolism in healthy volunteers at three altitude areas by MR quantitative magnetic susceptibility imaging (QSM) combined with three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL).Methods:From March 2019 to October 2020, Zhengzhou Han Chinese volunteers recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Xining Han Chinese volunteers recruited from the Fifth People′s Hospital of Qinghai Province, Lhasa Han Chinese volunteers and Tibetan volunteers recruited from Lhasa People′s Hospital were collected. They were divided into 21-30 age group, 31-40 age group, and 41-50 age group. All the volunteers underwent MR QSM combined with 3D-ASL sequence imaging, and oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) images of gray matter, and white matter were collected, OEF and CBF values were obtained, and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO 2) values were calculated. The comparison of various indicators among multiple groups was conducted using one-way ANOVA, and pairwise comparisons were conducted using LSD- t test. Results:A total of 132 volunteers were included, including 38 Han Chinese volunteers in Zhengzhou, 9 in the 21-30 age group, 13 in the 31-40 age group and 16 in the 41-50 age group; 27 Han Chinese volunteers in Xining, including 9 in the 21-30 age group, 8 in the 31-40 age group and 10 in the 41-50 age group; 34 Han Chinese volunteers in Lhasa, including 13 in the 21-30 age group, 11 in the 31-40 age group and 10 in the 41-50 age group; and 33 Tibetan volunteers in Lhasa, including 10 in the 21-30 age group, 10 in the 31-40 age group and 13 in the 41-50 age group. In the group aged 21-30 years, the overall difference in brain gray matter OEF values among volunteers from different altitudes was statistically significant ( P<0.05), with statistically significant differences in OEF values between Tibetans in Lhasa and Han Chinese in Xining, Han Chinese in Lhasa ( P<0.05). The overall difference in CMRO 2 values in the gray matter of volunteers at different altitudes was statistically significant ( P<0.05), with significant differences in CMRO 2 values between Lhasa Tibetan and Han Chinese in Zhengzhou, Han Chinese in Xining, Han Chinese in Lhasa ( P<0.05). In the 31-40 age group, there were statistically significant differences in the overall CBF values of gray and white matter among volunteers from different altitudes ( P<0.05). Among them, there were statistically significant differences in the CBF values of gray and white matter between Han Chinese in Zhengzhou and Han in Xining, Han Chinese in Lhasa, Lhasa Tibetan ( P<0.05). The overall differences in OEF values of gray matter and white matter among volunteers at different altitudes were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Among them, there were statistically significant differences in OEF values of gray matter and white matter between the Han Chinese in Zhengzhou and the Han Chinese in Xining, the Han Chinese in Lhasa ( P<0.05). There was also a statistically significant difference in OEF values of gray matter and white matter between the Han Chinese in Lhasa and the Tibetan in Lhasa ( P<0.05). The overall difference in CMRO 2 values in gray and white matter among volunteers from different altitudes was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Among them, there was a statistically significant difference in CMRO 2 values of cerebral gray matter between Lhasa Tibetans and Zhengzhou Han, Xining Han, Lhasa Han ( P<0.05), and there was a statistically significant difference in CMRO 2 values of cerebral white matter between Lhasa Tibetans and Zhengzhou Han, Lhasa Han ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The cerebral oxygen metabolism of Tibetan living in the plateau is characterized by low oxygen consumption, low blood oxygen dependence and high tissue oxygen utilization. The CMRO 2 of the Han people who migrated to the plateau for a long time is maintained at a certain level, similar to that in the plain area. The effects of age factors on CBF, OEF and CMRO 2 are small.
