BACKGROUND:Currently a big controversy erupts in the repair of abdominal wal defects with composite patch. OBJECTIVE:To compare the composite patch and biological patch in the repair of abdominal wal defects in dogs. METHODS:Ten dogs were selected to prepare abdominal wal defect models, and then randomized into experimental group subjected to composite patch repair and control group subjected to biological patch repair. Incision adhesion was assessed at postoperative 30, 60, 90 days; patches and defect tissues were taken and detected histologicaly at postoperative 14 days. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The incision adhesion in the experimental group was milder than that in the control group at different time post operation (P < 0.05). At 14 days post operation, the material structure was clear with no signs of absorption in the experimental group, and there were a large amount of infiltrated inflammatory cels around the patch material, such as neutrophils and lymphocytes, and non-phagocytic patch was found; in the control group, the material structure was fuzzy with the presence of inflammatory cel infiltration and slight signs of absorption. Moreover, inflammation and fibrosis were severer in the control group than the experimental group. These findings indicate that compared with the biological patch, the composite patch is better to effectively reduce inflammatory reactions.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy has become a very attractive technique in the field of chemical analysis.The technique utilizes a laser focused on a small spot to create a micro-plasma on the sample surface.In recent years, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a frontier analysis technique in spectrometric analysis, with the advantages such as real-time, online and non-contact analysis.The research and development of various instruments based on this technology has attracted great attention of researchers.In the article, we reviewed the research progress of LIBS instrument from the components and field equipment in recent years, mainly including portable LIBS, handheld LIBS and remote LIBS.

Despite the immense achievement in the field of IVF in recent years, many patients still suffer from recurrent implantation failure. Therefore, much attention has been drawn to its etiology and treatment. Chromosomal abnormality, sperm DNA damage, zona hardening, and inappropriate culture conditions are important factors that lead to recurrent implantation failure. Results of studies suggest that preimplantation genetic screening does not improve the rate of implantation or live birth. Comparative genomic hybridization array and single nucleotide polymorphism array could offer a more comprehensive screening of chromosomes. Assisted hatching may help to solve the problem of zona hardening in some situations. Co-culture and blastocyst transfer could be conducive to the improvement of the rates of implantation and pregnancy. Cytoplasmic transfer may give a solution to ooplasmic composition anomalies.

Objective To research the best extracting technology of simiaoyongan decoction.Methods As the total contents of chlorogenic acid and harpagoside to be evaluation indicator, adopted L9 (34 ) orthogonal design to select out the best extraction.The main determination was by HPLC method.Results Accounted by the total contents of the two composi-tions, the influential effects of the experimental results were extraction solvent >reflux times >the volume of extraction>the circumfluence time.Conclusion The best extracting technology is adding 10-fold times of 50% alcohol, percolating 1 hours, and three times.

[Summary] Limb numbness is a common symptom of diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN),which is similar to lumbar vertebra disease and spinal cord tumor compression syndrome. Diabetes mellitus (DM) combined with lumbar spondylosis and spinal cord tumor compression is rarely occurred and is difficult to distinguish from DPN . Here we reported a case of DM combined with spinal neurilemoma that was misdiagnosed as DPN for half a year.

0.05). Conclusion: The tongue measurement with ultrasonic imaging is reproducible.

Objective To study the expression changes of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), protein kinase C (PKC) and nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B ) on the injured rabbit vascular smooth muscular cells (VSMC) transfected with tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) vector. Methods Lipofectin method was used to transfect TIMP-2 vector into VSMC, Western blot analysis to detect TIMP-2 peptides and zymography assay to determine MMPs. The activities of MMPs and NF-?B were detected by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The mRNA and protein expressions of PKC? were determined by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry. Results The injured VSMC showed increased enzyme activity of MMP-2. There was very lower level expressions of PKC? and NF-?B in the normal VSMC but high in the injured VSMC. However, in injured VSMC transfected with TIMP-2 vector, the activity of MMP2/9 was suppressed and the expressions of PKC? and NF-?B decreased (P

Objective To identify the influencing factors for pediatric nursese' reporting of adverse events at 3A hospitals in Beijing. Methods Adopting the random sampling of ten 3A hospitals with pediatric wards in Beijing and conducting an questionnaire survey of some nurses in those hospitals. Results The possibility of adverse events reporting increased with the awareness of adverse events which was related with their severity. Except for title, educational background, length of service, position and past experiences were not associated with the barriers. The major perceived barrier was fear of colleague relationship brokenup and some other undesirable consequence. Conclusions Better training of awareness of adverse events and changes of the punitive culture by the roots as well as some regulation or policy were the major solutions to improve incident reporting.

[Objective]Discussion on TCM name and pathogenesis of hypertension. [Method]To further explore and analyze the TCM name, location as wel as pathogenssis of hypertension after learning“Neijing”. [Result]Hypertension corresponding TCM diseases should be the veins bulge from“Neijing”. The location of the disease is heart,while it relates to internal organs. The main pathogenesis is that heart commanding blood abnormality. [Conclusion ]The traditional classical dialectical mode from the liver treatment of hypertension should be changed,the clinical treatment of hypertension is due to the heart according to the theory of pathogenesis which the heart commands blood vessels.Seeking the key reason is important to differential treatment of hypertension.
