Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is one kind of common vascular disease. Inflammation and matrix degradation in the vasculature are crucial for AAA formation, key mechanism of which include vascular smooth muscle cell(VSMC) senescence, oxidative stress, increased local production of proinflammatory cytokines, and increased activities of matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs). Cyp A, the member of cyclophilins,has a variety of physiological functions. It is highly expressed in VSMC, and plays an important role in the development of AAA, making it a new therapeutic target for such disease.

Objective:Dysmenorrhea is the common gynecological problem among adolescent girls and women of reproductive age. This study aim to develop a dysmenorrhea Quality of Life (QoL) scale based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory.Methods:We conducted focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with TCM gynecologists and patients, and adapted items from previously published scales. We generated an initial pool of 41 items with 8 domains. Delphi method was used to item preliminary selection. Then, we administered the items to a sample of adolescent girls ( n=200), and the distribution of survey items, discrete trend, factor analysis, correlation coefficient, Cronbach’s α coefficient were used to select items. Results:After two rounds of Delphi, a total of thirty items were included in the dysmenorrhea QoL scale. The expert positive coefficient were 100% and 83.3% with high motivation. The authoritative coefficient were greater than 0.7, the results showing authoritative and reliable. The Kendall’s coefficient of concordance W was 0.333 ( χ2=128.271, P<0.001). In sample analysis, the items were deleted when they met more than two standards. The final scale retained 20 items, covering 8 dimensions. Conclusions:The methods for selection of dysmenorrhea QoL scale based on TCM theory were preferable. Given the paucity of research in this area, this new dysmenorrhea QoL scale may provide opportunities for the patient-reported outcome (PRO) evaluation in the field of TCM.

Objective To investigate the causes of severe H1N1 Flu with multiple organ dysfunction, and measures to reduce mortality. Method The data of the patient, who was diagnosed as severe H1N1 Flu and mul-tiple organ dysfunction syndrome in First People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University in September 2009, were retrospectively analyzed. The patient was male, 35 year-old, obese, high fever, sore throat, cough, progressive dyspnea, severe hypoxemia and hypotension. Effective measures were carried out, including protective lung ventilation, recruitment maneuver, vasopressor support, limited fluid resuscitation, appropriate corticosteroid, anfiviral plasma, anticoagulafion and antiviral medicine (Oseltamivir)in early stage and full dose. Results After one-month intensive care, clinical symptoms was improved obviously, oxygen pressure reached 74 mmHg without oxygen supply, CT scan showed diffused interstitial ehange. Neuromyopathy developed at approximately 3 weeks after the onset of H1N1. Conclusions H1N1 Flu can develop in healthy adults, and obesity is one of the inde-pendent risk factors. Effective measures should be taken as soon as possible to reduce the mortality.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of lateral malleolar's anatomical hook-plate in treating ankle fracture including distal fibular fracture. Methods Nineteen patients of ankle fracture including distal fibular fracture were treated from January 2006 to January 2009. There were 12 males and 7 females with an average age of 36 years (range, 18-72 years). The fractures were classified by Danis-Weber system. There were A type in 8 cases, B type in 11 cases. The average time of duration between injury and operation was 6 days (ranged from 6 hours to 16 days). The distal fibular fracture were treated with lateral malleolar's anatomical hook-plate. The medial malleolus was fixed with cancellous bone screw. The posterior malleolus was fixed with screw or plate according to the pattern of fracture. Results The mean follow-up period was 18.8 months with a range from 6 to 32 months. No obvious fracture line could be seen on the radiographs 4-6 weeks after operation. Bone healing was achieved in 10 cases 12 weeks after operation and in 9 cases 20 weeks after operation. All surgical incisions healed adequately. There were no instances of infection, instability of ankle and other complications. According to Mazur ankle joint scoring scale system, the fiual result was scored from 67 to 92 (average 86.3). There were excellent in 12 cases, good in 4, fair in 2,and poor in 1 case. The excellent and good rate was 84.2%. Conclusion The lateral malleolar's anatomical hook-plate represents a definite biomechanical superiority in treating fracture of the external malleolus, with advantage of restoring anatomic structure, joint activity effectively and firm fixation.

Objective For selecting and developing the excellent Bupleurum chinense to mass-produce seedlings and seeds in high quality.Methods B.chinense was picked from eight different areas,such as Lingchuan and Wanrong county in Shanxi Province,Longxi county in Gansu Province,and Shangluo in Shaanxi Province,etc.Rapid propagation was done.The testa of Zhongchai No.1 was scrapped or seeds were soaked in different phytohormones.The effects on germination rates of seeds were compared.ResultsThe optimum medium for bud propagation was B5supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 6-BA and 0.2 mg/L KT.The optimum medium for root induction of test-tube plantlets was 1/2 MS added with 0.1 mg/L NAA,0.5 mg/L IBA,and 1.0 mg/L DSC.The annual propagation coefficient of B.chinense plants was more than 1?108,and the survival rate of transplantation reached to 94%—97%.The phytohormone has little effect on seed germination of B.chinense,but scraping the testa could increase the germination percentage of seeds to 20% and shorten the germinating time greatly.Conclusion By tissue culture of excellent B.chinense,a great deal of plants and seeds could be produced in short time.By scrapping testa in a certain extent,the germination of seeds could be increased.
