Objective To evaluate the long-term therapeutic efficacy of subtotal colectomy,ascending colon-rectum anastomosis, pelvic floor hernia repair, functional rectal suspension, and uterine suspension surgery for slow transit constipation with pelvic floor hernia and rectal mucosal prolapse.Methods From June 2007 to May 2008, 35 patients with intractable constipation caused by slow colonic transit combined with pelvic floor hernia and rectal mucosal prolapse underwent subtotal colectomy and ascending colon-rectum anastomosis, pelvic floor hernia repair, functional rectal suspension, and uterine suspension surgery. Postoperative defecation, complications, quality of life, and degree of satisfaction were followed-up. Results The average follow-up period was two years. At one month after the operation, the average defecation frequency was five times (2 -8 times) a day, with a semi-liquid stool consistency; After two years the frequency was twice ( 1 -3 times) a day, with solid stool consistency. Of the 35 patients, 19 were satisfied with the surgical efficacy, and 16 were very satisfied. All the patients' quality of life improved significantly. Conclusions For patients suffering from slow transit constipation with pelvic floor hernia and rectal mucosal prolapse subtotal colectomy, ascending colon-rectum anastomosis, pelvic floor hernia repair,functional rectal suspension, and uterine suspension surgery has satisfactory results.

Purpose To prepare streptavidin-tagged mouse interleukin-4(mIL-4-SA)bifunctional fusion protein and to study on its bioactivity.Methods The mIL-4 gene was cloned by RT-PCR and cloned into pET21 vector to get mIL-4-SA-pET21 expression plasmid.The mIL-4-SA fusion protein was expressed in BL21 (DE3)host bacteria and purified through the Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and refolded by dilution and dialysis.The effect of mIL-4-SA fusion protein on mouse thymocytes proliferation was evaluated by MTY.Flow cytometric analysis was performed to detect the mIL-4-SA fusion protein on the biotinylated B16F10 tumor cells.Results The mIL-4-SA-pET21 vector was successful by constructed and the mIL-4-SA fusion protein was expressed in BL21(DE3)at about 35%of total bacterial proteins.The purity of mIL-4-SA Was about 95% through Ni-NTA.The mIL-4-SA fusion protein exhibited bifunctional activities,i.e.,stimulative effect for mouse thymocyte proliferation and SA-mediated high-affinity binding to biotinylated cell surfaces(anchoring modified rate Was about 96.69%).Conclusion The mIL-4-SA fusion protein was expected to be developed for the treatment of tumors.

Background The dysfunction of the blink reflex the eyelid-closure ability appears in the patients with facial paralysis,and its management is the implantation of mechanical-assisted eye-closure device in the upper eyelid.A novel device is palpebral spring implant.However,there is no similar study in China.Objective This study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of palpebral spring placement for lagophthalmos caused by facial nerve palsy.Methods This clinical research complied with Helsinki declaration and the protocol was approved by Ethic Committee of Henan Eye Institute & Henan Eye Hospital.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to the surgery.A retrospective serial case-observational study was performed.The medical records of 11 patients who underwent palpebral spring placement for hypophasis due to facial nerve palsy were reviewed at Henan Eye Hospital from August 2010 to November 2012.Palpebral spring placement was performed by the same surgeon to ensure a more even outcomes.Palpebral spring was made by nickel wire,with the diameter of 0.3 mm and implanted on tarsal plate in 11 eyes of 11 patients with symptomatic facial nerve palsy.The lower tip of Levine spring was encased into a small terylene bag and sutured to the anterior tarsal surface during the surgery.Preoperative and postoperative symptoms,upper eyelid margin to mid pupil distance (ULMD),degree of lagophthalmos and eyelid moving scope were examined and compared between before and after operation.The operating complication was followed-up for 8-38 months.Results The discomforted symptoms disappeared in all the operated eyes.The ULMD was (3.51±0.73) mm in preoperation and (3.20±0.86) mm in posteration,without significant difference between them (t=1.36,P=0.10).The degree of lagophthalmos was (5.94±1.57) mm and (1.06±0.98) mm in preoperation and postoperation respectively,showing a significant difference between them (t =9.42,P =0.00).The eyelid moving scope was (5.89±0.70) mm in postoperation,which was significantly increased in comparison with (0.11 ±0.33) mm of preoperation (t =22.97,P =0.00).The palpebral spring implant was regulated in 1 patient during the follow-up duration due to the trauma.No complication in other 10 patients appeared during the follow-up duration,such as implant exposure,metal fatigue or infection.Conclusions Palpebral spring placement is safe and effective for lagophthalmos in patients with facial nerve palsy.

The Infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) and Taura syndrome virus (TSV) are two important shrimp viruses in cultured shrimp in America. These two viruses were transmitted to China at the beginning of the 21st century. In this study, 214 shrimp samples of Penaeus vannamei were collected from seven different areas of China and tested by PCR for IHHNV and TSV infection. The results showed that there were a high prevalence of IHHNV (65.42%) and low prevalence of TSV (3.27%) in the tested samples. Several samples were found to be co-infected with these two viruses. A 3 kb fragment of 7 positive IHHNV samples and a structure protein region (ORF2) of three TSV positive samples were amplified and sequenced. The sequence comparison indicated that both IHHNV and TSV sequenced in China have a low genetic variations compared with the prototype IHHNV and TSV from Hawaii. Phylogenetic analysis showed that TSV isolates were clustered into two groups, Asia and America group, which was genetically correlated to geographic distribution.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of MRI for portal vein(PV)and superior mesenteric venous(SMV)thrombosis.Methods Twelve patients with portal vein and superior mesenterie venous thrombosis proved by operation and pathology were examined with T_1WI,T_2WI,T_2-weighted fat suppression imaging,MR angiography(MRA)and Gd-DTPA enhanced dynamic MRI.Results Signals in PV and SMV were detected on T_1 WI and T2WI in 12 cases;3 acute thrombus presented hypo-or isointense on T_1 WI and hyperintense on T_2 WI.ttyperintense on T_1 WI and T_2WI were showed in 8 subacute thrombus; 1 chronic thrombus presented heterogenous intense on T_1W1 and hypointense on T_2W1.No enhancement within PV and SMV was found on Gd-DTPA enhanced images.Bowel dilatation was found in 10 cases,bowel hemorrhage in 6,bowel wall thickening in 12,intestinal pneumatosis in 3,ascites in 12,cavernous transformation of the portal vein in 3,hepatic perfusion disorder in 6.Conclusion MRI is an important and sensitive imaging method for the diagnosis and location of portal vein and superior mesenteric venous thrombosis with intestinal ischemia.
