1.Temporal and spatial distribution of TGF-β in corneal wound healing
Recent Advances in Ophthalmology 2017;37(2):184-188
Fibrosis is the major cause of corneal scarring.Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) plays a key role in corneal homeostasis and repair.Corneal epithelial basement membrane is thought to be the important barrier of corneal epitheliumstroma interaction.In different stages of corneal wound healing,the isoforms of TGF-β have different temporal and spatial expression.The integrity of basement membrane is a critical factor of these procedures.The temporal and spatial distributions of TGF-β isoforms play the crucial roles in cell migration,proliferation,phenotype changes and deposition of extracellular matrix in corneal wound healing.It is the mechanism of corneal scarring and scar-free healing.This article reviews recent articles to elucidate the biological functions of TGF-β and the temporal and spatial distribution of its isoforms in corneal wound healing.

Modern Clinical Nursing 2014;(4):20-22,23
Objective To explore the effect of Chitosan gel (Ⅲ) on the complications from Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy for treatment of severe mixed hemorrhoids.Methods Seventy-six patients with severe mixed hemorrhoids were randomly divided into treatment group and control group with 38 cases in each group. All patients from the two groups were treated with Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy. Then Chitosan gel (Ⅲ) was used in the treatment group. The two groups were compared in terms of curative effect, pain level, complications and hospital stay.Results There was no significant difference in the curative effect (P>0.05). But the scores on pain level, hemtochezia, infection and edema of the treatment group were all significantly lower than those of the control group (allP<0.05) and the hospital stay was significantly shorter than that of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions In the treatment of severe mixed hemorrhoids by Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy, Chitosan gel (Ⅲ) is effective in relieving pains, reducing hemorrhage, edema and preventing infections and therefore shortens the hospital stay. In view of nursing, it is critical to perform mental care as well as close observations on complications.
3.Application of electrophysiological test in prediabetic peripheral neuropathy
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2017;40(2):137-141
Early diagnosis of prediabetic peripheral neuropathy depends on the evaluation of small fibers.Traditional nerve conduction tests can only evaluate the function of large myelinated fibers,while lack of sensitivity to small fibrous lesions.These lesions were related to pain and autonomic neuropathy.In recent years,with the progress of neurophysiological diagnosis technology,the early diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy has been improved.Clinical methods,commonly used in the detection of small fibrous lesions,mainly include skin sympathetic response,quantitative sensory test,contact heat pain evoked potential,and quantitative sudomotor axonal reflex test.In this paper,the pathogenesis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy,neurological pathological changes and applications of electrophysiology technology were reviewed to provide an objective basis for early diagnosis of prediabetic peripheral neuropathy.

BACKGROUND:How does the peripheral nerve block work to inhibit the functions? What effects does it do to the spinal cord and the cerebral center? How does it regulate the peripheral nerve and how does it change anatomy of brain center? Al above are stil unknown.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of peripheral nerve block on the biology of spinal cord nerve cel s.
METHODS: Sixty New Zealand rabbits were selected and randomly divided into three groups: ischiadic nerve block group, subarachnoid block group and extradural nerve block group. Each group had 20 rabbits which were sub-divided into experimental group and control group with 10 rabbits in each subgroup. The rabbits in the three experimental groups were injected with lidocaine, bupivacaine and lidocaine at the middle point between femoral head and ischiadic tuberosity in ischiadic nerve block group, subarachnoid block group and extradural nerve block group, respectively. The rabbits in each control group were injected with normal saline at the same position.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After ischiadic nerve block, extradural nerve block or subarachnoid block for 30 minutes, the Nigeria’s bodies of the little round cel s in the poliomyelia posterior horn laminaeⅢandⅣand the polyhedral cel s in the anterior horn laminaeⅨwere less than those in the control groups. Nuclei leaned towards one side. c-Fos protein expression was decreased or showed no expression, suggesting that the cord nerve cel function of corresponding spinal segments was inhibited. The spinal pia mater of spinal cord had a hierarchical or fracture phenomenon after subarachnoid block.

0.05). The maj or toxicity included Neutropenia, nausea and vomiting. The severity of these sid e effects was mild to moderate and well tolerated. No severe toxicity was observ ed. Conclusions:Gemcitabine plus etoposide (GV) and Gencitabine plus cisplatin were both active regimen for advanced NSCLC, with high efficecy but talerated toxicity.

Angiogenesis plays an important role in tumor growth and metastasis,anti-angiogenic therapy is becoming the center point in tumor therapy,endostatin is a recently discovered endogenous inhibitor of angiogenesis.Endostatin can specifically target endothelial cells,inhibiting proliferation and migration and inducting apoptosis.This review describes the mechanism of endostatin in inhibiting angiogenesis,induction of apoptosis in tumor cells and clinical trials.

Objective To investigate the prognostic values of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet count before and after chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods From October 2011 to December 2012,70 patients with advanced NSCLC in Anyang Cancer Hospital of Henan Province were collected.NLR and platelet were calculated from complete blood counts in laboratory test before and after 2 cycles of chemotherapy.The patients were divided into two groups according to the NLR and platelet count:low NLR group (≤3.43)and high NLR group (>3.43);normal group (100 ×109 /L

Objective To investigate the risk factors of mild renal impairment in cerebral infarction patients.Methods One hundred and fifty patients with cerebral infarction were enrolled from June 2012 to June 2013,and all patients received cranial magnetic resonance imaging at the first week.The clinical data of patients were recorded in detail,24 h microalbuminuria (mALB) was detected,renal function was assessed.According to mALB,the patients were divided into normal renal function group (105 cases) and mild renal dysfunction group (45 cases).Clinical risk factors between 2 groups were compared,and multivariate regression analysis was done.Results Age in mild renal dysfunction group was greater than that in normal renal function group [(67.04 ±9.37) years vs.(63.01 ± 11.18) years],the incidence of hypertension and multiple lacunar infarction were higher than those in normal renal function group[57.8% (26/45) vs.33.3% (35/105),57.8% (26/45) vs.22.9% (24/105)],leukoaraiosis grade was higher than that in normal renal function group,there were significant differences (P < 0.05 or < 0.01).Logistic regression analysis found that hypertension (OR =1.04 1,P =0.045) and leukoaraiosis (OR =2.048,P =0.000) were independent risk factors for cerebral infarction patients with mild renal impairment.Conclusions The incidence of mild renal impairment is higher in cerebral infarction patients,and is closely related to hypertension and leukoariosis.Early detection of 24 h mALB in cerebral infarction patients has important clinical significance.

Objective To establish a solid phase extraction(SPE)-high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)method for determination of melamine in foods. Methods Melamine in sample was extracted with extractive agent. After centrifugation, the supernatant fluid was purified by Waters Oasis MCX cartridge,and detected with HPLC method. Chromatographic column of TIANHE C18(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) was used at 35 ℃ and mobile phase was water(containing 0.01 mol/L 1-hexanesulfonic acid sodium salt and 0.01 mol/L citric acid)∶ acetonitrile = 94∶6 (V∶V) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. Injection volume was 20 ?l. Results In the range of 0.80 to 80.0 mg/L, the regression equation was y=84.64 x-6.127 1 with the correlation coefficient of 0.999 98. The detection limit of melamine in foods was 0.5 mg/kg. The average rates of recovery were 88.0%-96.0% and the relative standard deviation was less than 5%. Conclusion The method established in the present paper is applicable to determination of melamine in foods with good precision,accuracy and sensitivity.
