Objective To investigate a myocutaneous flap method for eyelid baggy plasty conforming to the medical aesthetic requirements. Methods Before operation the amount of the lower eyelid skin excised should be determined. Asking the patient to look upward at supine position, the operator lifted properly the lower eyelid skin using fine forceps without teeth at the results of smooth superficialness at this region and slight ectropion. The incision lines were marked along the print pinched by forceps and the trace 2 to 3 mm below the ciliary margin. Intra-operatively severing soft issues to the inferior orbital fringe just on the sub-orbicularis level, the skin-muscle flap was made. Then the excessive muscle was removed in the light of the incision lines. The orbital fat teased out resected or filled up the concavity along the lower orbital edge. Results The tense and smooth appearance of lower eyelid was archived in 900 cases received in our hospital except 2 temporary ectropion cases and 2 temporary double vision cases. We repaired the 15 ectropions using adjacent skin flap, tarsal reduction, skin soft tissue expansion, or superficial temporary fascia sling suspension, eliminated 28 haematomaes and made the excision of scar and wound suture for a hypertrophic scar case in the 150 complications from other hospitals. The crow wrinkles were improved apparently. Conclusion The amount of skin excision determined pre-operatively, which not only successfully refrains interfering elements from blooding and swelling but also avoids giving rise to ectropion, is accurate than that performed during operation. Natural appearance after operation becomes better and lasting because of orbicularis raised which strengthens the anterior wall of orbital septum.

Objective To study the clinical effects of abdominoplasty using ultrasound assisted liposuction and dermolipectomy. Methods With the patient standing, the relative areas of maximal adipose fullness in the abdomen and waist were marked topographically. With the patient in the supine position, the "pinch test" was performed by surgical operator advancing the tissue in the infraumbilical area toward the pubic region in order to estimate how much skin needed to be resected before operation. Inter-operatively tumescent technique with the transduction of ultrasound into fatty areas was applied in the first place, following classic abdominoplasty including excessive skin and fat resection, musculoaponeurotic plication and umbilical transposition. Results Sixteen patients followed up from six months to two years were satisfied with aesthetic effects because of smoothness of the operated areas, good sensory recovery and obvious shrinkage of skin with fewer complications. There were no infection, skin necrosis, and wound dehiscence. Conclusion The excellent effects of abdominal profile sculpture can be reproduced with the new method using UAL in vivo and dermolipectomy.

Objective The method transcranial Doppler (TCD)and end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (ETCO2 ) was used to investigate the cerebrovascular reserve capacity in patients with intracranial artery stenosis.Including the cerebral vasodilator reserve,contracted reserve and the overall reserve.Methods The 72 cases were enrolled in this study,include of 42 patients with one or two sides middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis,or other intracranial artery stenosis and 30 normal persons. All the patients were routinely examined with TCD,and the TCD QL software was used to evaluate the cerebrovascular reserve. Hypercapnia was induced by inhaling the CO2 who breathed himself,and hypocapnia was induced by voluntary hyperventilation. The changes of velocities were recorded in both side of MCA,and the ETCO2 was recorded by the external measuring device. Results ( 1 ) The cerebral vasodilator reserve of one side of MCA stenosis group ( ( 3.65% ± 2. 62% )/mm Hg),the heavier side of multi-vessel stenosis group ( ( 1.99% ± 2. 78% )/mm Hg ),and normal control group ( left ( 3.54% ± 1.66% )/ mm Hg; right (3. 81% ± 1.63% )/mm Hg) had significant difference( F = 3. 755 ,P < 0. 05 ). The heavier side of multivessel stenosis group' s cerebral vasodilator reserve were significantly lower than normal control group ( t =- 2. 546,P < 0. 05 ). (2) The overall reserve of one side of MCA stenosis group ( ( 3.22% ± 1. 27% )/mm Hg),the heavier side of multi-vessel stenosis group( (2. 30% ± 1.14% )/mm Hg),and normal control group(left (3. 19% ±0. 81% )/mm Hg;right (3. 23% ±0. 70% )/mm Hg)had significant difference(F=5. 894,P <0. 01 ). The heavier side of multi-vessel stenosis group' s overall reserve were significantly lower than normal control group( t = - 3. 357,P < 0. 01 ) and they were also significantly lower than one side of MCA stenosis group (t = 2.471,P < 0. 05 ). (3) The extent of vascular disease correlated inveresely to the cerebral vasodilator reserve( r = - 0. 322,P < 0. 05 ) and the overall reserve( r = - 0. 364,P < 0. 05 ) in the heavier side of patients who have vascular disease.Conclusions ( 1 ) TCD with ETCO2 is a simple,economic and effective method for assessing CVR. (2)The capacity of cerebrovascular reserve was reduced in patients with intracranial artery stenosis.

Tumor metastasis is one of the important biological characteristics of malignant tumor,which is closely related with the prognosis of the cancer patients.High expression of ADAM8 in varieties of tumors was revealed in many recent studies,and such aberrant expression played a crucial role in regulating of tumor metastasis.Studies showed that overexpression of ADAM8 attenuated the intercellular adhesion effect,promoted tumor angiogenesis,and enhanced the degradation of ECM as well as the releasing of cytokines.Therefore,suppression of ADAM8 may lead to inhibition of tumor metastasis,which makes ADAM8 a particular attractive target as it can be used as a prognostic indicator and a potential therapeutic target of malignant tumor.A review about the relations between ADAM8 protein′s abnormal expression and tumor occurrence was discussed in this paper,also include discussion about the mechanisms of ADAM8 protein′s disorder-induced tumor formation,as well as therapeutic strategies based on ADAM8-targeted,which may provide references for follow-up research and clinical treatment.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVEThe expression levels of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) were elevated and correlated with resistance to chemotherapy drug VP-16 in lung cancer cells. However, little is known about the relationship between its expression and resistance to cisplatin in lung cancer cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of GRP78 under the induction of A23187 and its significance in the resistance to anti-tumor drugs cisplatin in a human lung cancer SPCA-1 cell line.
METHODSRT-PCR and Western blot were used to analyze the expression of GRP78 at mRNA and protein levels in SPCA-1 cell line induced byA23187 at different concentrations (0, 1, 2, 4, 6 microM). MTT was used to determine the effect of cisplation on cell survival.
RESULTSThe expressions of GRP78 at both mRNA and protein levels were increased obviously in SPCA-1 cell line induced by A23187, with a manner of dose-dependent of A23187 to a great degree; MTT assay showed that the cell survival rate of the A23187-induced group decreased significantly compare to the control group, also with a concentration-dependent manner of A23187.
CONCLUSIONThe expression of GRP78 at both mRNA and protein levels were increased obviously in SPCA-1 cell line induced by A23187. The enhancement of GRP78 showed a negative correlation with the cell survival rate treated by cisplatin. All these indicated that overexpression of GRP78 can enhance the sensitivity to cisplatin and there is correlation between the expression of GRP78 and resistance to cisplatin of human lung cancer SPCA-1 cell line.

International Journal of Pediatrics 2022;49(11):749-753
With the progress of perinatal medicine, the survival rate of premature infants has been greatly improved, but the incidence of preterm related complications has also increased, including growth retardation, premature brain injury, retinopathy of prematurity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and necrotizing enterocolitis.Insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)specifically binds to IGF-1 receptor to activate intracellular signaling pathways, so that can promote cell growth, proliferation and differentiation, and inhibit apoptosis.IGF-1 is involved in the development of the heart, brain, lung, and other important organs and promotes tissue growth, so it plays an important role in fetal intrauterine development and neonatal extrauterine growth.At present, some clinical trials have found that recombinant IGF-1 and its binding protein-3 can play a role in the prevention and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, bringing hope for the prevention and treatment of these refractory complications of prematurity.In this review, the function of IGF-1 and its role in preterm related complications are reviewed.
