The morphology of the extraglandular and intraglandular portions of the adrenal veins and other veins concerned with the catheterization in adrenal venography was observed on 53 adult cadavers.The extraglandnlar portion of both adrenal veins is of single trunk type on all the specimens. The left adrenal vein consistently ends into the left renal vein while the right adrenal vein ends into the inferior vena cava in 83.02% of cases and into the right accessory hepatic vein in 9.43%.The length and diameter of the extraglandular portion of the left adrenal vein are 23.05?5.96 mm and 4.99?0.82 mm and those of the right adrenal vein are 8.73?5.13 mm and 2.93 ? 0.87 mm. The angle formed by the left adrenal and left renal veins is 117.35?11.95? and that formed by right adrenal vein and inferior vena cava is 47.5?14.58?.The distances from the femoral vein(lower margin of inguinal ligment)through the external and common iliac veins and inferior vena cava to the hila of both adrenal glands were measured. They may be used as references in performing adrenal venography.The intraglandular portion of the adrenal veins is of three types: single, double and triple trunk types. The single trunk type is the most common occurring in 86% of the left adrenal veins and 50% of the right veins. The triple trunk type exists only on the right side.In addition, the feasibilities and difficulties of the catheterization of the both adrenal veins were discussed according to the anatomy studied.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the delivery gestational age, birth weight and fidgety movement. Methods 81 infants in fidgety movement phase were divided into preterm group and full-term group according to their delivery gestational age, into <2500 g group and ≥2500 g group according to their birth weight. The number of different kinds of General Movements (GMs) was compared.The correlation between birth weight, delivery of gestational age and GMs was analysed. Results The number of fidgety movement was more in the full-term group than in the preterm group (P=0.001), while the number of absence of fidgety movement was significantly less (P=0.003). The number of fidgety movement was more in the ≥2500 g group than in the <2500 g group (P=0.001), the number of absence of fidget movement was significantly less (P=0.003). The GMs was correlated with birth weight and delivery gestational age. Conclusion Premature and low birth weight are the risk factors for abnormal fidgety movement.

Objective To evaluate the elimination of melasma with nonablative Q-switched Nd : YAG1 064 nm laser. Methods 23 cases of melasma were treated with Q-switched Nd :YAG 1 064 nm laser using the following parameters: spot size, 6 mm; pulse duration, 5-7 ns; frequency, 10 Hz, and flu-ence, 1.8-2. 0 J/cm2. The procedure was repeated weekly. Results The treatment was well tolerated without the use of topical anesthetic. There was slight congestion, no blister and crust after treatment. Routine clean and make-up can be done after treatment. The melasmas were obviously lighten or fully eliminated after 8-10 treatments and 52. 17 % of patients showed excellent results. Only 5 cases experienced an episode of purpura on eyelid after treatment and disappeared spontaneously without post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring. Followed up over 6 months, there was recurrence in 7 patients who were effective by additional treatment. Conclusions Nonablative Q-switched Nd :YAG 1 064 nm laser is a more ideal method to eliminate melasma because of the credible effect, safe, simple operation, and no downtime, in despite of recurrence.

Objectives To investigate the mutational characteristics of MSX1 and PAX9 genes in a family affected by non-syndromic oligodonti so as to study the pathogenesis of oligodontia from a molecular prospective. Methods A family with oligodontia, but of different descent and unrelated healthy controls were enrolled in our study. Genomic DNA was isolated from the blood samples. Mutation analyses were performed by amplifying MSX1 and PAX9 exons and sequencing the products. Results DNA sequencing revealed a novel missense mutation c.348C>T in a highly conserved homeobox sequence of MSX1 and a known polymorphisms c. 469+35- c.469+45del in exon 1 and in intron in the two patients and in two unrelated healthy controls. But we did not detect any mutation in PAX9. Conclusion Our finding suggests the samesense mutation (c.348C>T) and the polymorphisms (c.469+35- c.469+45del) may be responsible for oligodontia phenotype in this Chinese family.

Objective To investigate the associated risk factors of postoperative complications after rad?ical resecting of colorectal cancer. Methods The clinical data of 237 patients with colorectal cancer performed radical resection in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2011 to Decem?ber 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. The incidence of postoperative complications was analyzed,and the relat?ed factors were analyzed by single factor and multi factor correlation analysis. Results The postoperative com?plications occurred in 114 cases of 237 patients( 48. 1%) . Univariate analysis showed that the age more than 70 years old,preoperative comorbidity,intraoperative blood loss,surgeon’ s experience,combined evisceration or en?larged evisceration were related to postoperative complications ( P = 0. 033, 0. 014, 0. 045, 0. 028, 0. 040 ) . Compared with the patients without complications,the postoperative anal exhaust time,length of stay was longer of the patients with complications((3. 7±1. 6) d vs. (3. 2±1. 4) d,P=0. 035;(21. 3±6. 5) d vs. (12. 1 ±2. 4) d,P=0. 001). Logistic regression analysis showed that depth of tumor invasion(P=0. 001),preoperative comorbidity including NRS>3 points (χ2 =8. 903, P=0. 003 ) , anemia and hypoproteinemia (χ2 =3. 494, P=0. 048) ,hypertension complicated with type 2 diabetes mellitus(χ2=5. 418,P=0. 026) ,not complete intesti?nal obstruction(χ2=8. 376,P=0. 003),mild and severe ventilation dysfunction(χ2=6. 331,P=0. 011) and WBC<3. 9×109(χ2=4. 256,P=0. 041) were closely related to the occurrence of complications. The rate of post?operative complication of laparoscopic group and open group had no significant difference( 44. 4%( 64/144) vs. 47. 3%(44/93),P>0. 05) . Conclusion Age>70 years old,preoperative comorbidity,intraoperative blood loss,surgeon`s experience,combined evisceration or enlarged evisceration are main risk factors for patients per?formed colorectal cancer radical resection,but laparoscopy?assisted radical resection is not the risk factor.

Objective: To investigate the effects of Ala-Gln induced heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) expression on myocardial ifbrosis and connexin43 (Cx43) remodeling in experimental rats’ model.
Methods: A total of 32 SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:①Control group,②Model group, the rats received isoprenaline (ISO) 5m/(kg·d),③Intervention group, the rats received ISO+Ala-Gln 0.75mg/(kg·d),④Quercetin group, the rats received ISO+quercetin 100mg/(kg·d)+Ala-Gln+DMSO. n=8 in each group. All animals were treated for 7 days and killed in 4 weeks for relevant examinations. HE and Masson staining was conducted to observe myocardial ifbrosis, then calculate collagen volume fraction; immunohistochemistry was applied to measure myocardial HSP70 expression,
extracellular signal regulated kinase (p-ERK1/2) and Cx43 distribution, then conduct semi-quantitative analysis by speciifc soft ware.
Results: HE and Masson staining indicated that Control group had no obvious myocardial ifbrosis, Model group and Quercetin group had obvious ifbrosis, and Intervention group showed less ifbrosis than the other 2 groups, all P<0.01. The fibrosis level was similar between Intervention group and Control group, P>0.05. The myocardial HSP70 expression was similar among Control, Model and Quercetin groups, P>0.05, while HSP70 expression was signiifcantly higher in Intervention group than the other 3 groups, all P<0.01. The myocardial p-ERK1/2 level was lower in Intervention group than Model and Quercetin groups, all P<0.01. The myocardial Cx43 level was similar between Control group and Intervention group with linear distribution, while it was higher in Intervention group than Model and Quercetin groups with disordered distribution, all P<0.01.
Conclusion: Ala-Gln inducing the higher expression of HSP70, which may reduce myocardial ifbrosis in experimental rats, it could be because of HSP70 down regulating p-ERK1/2 expression and inhibiting ERK signaling pathway.
