Objective To further understand the effect of anti-fluoride water on intellectual development of children and dental fluorosis in drinking water-type of endemic fluorosis area Pucheng county Shaanxi province.Methods Two hundred 8 to 12 years old children were randomly selected in endemic fluorosis area with changed water or unchanged water, in 2009 in Pucheng county Shaanxi province. Intelligence quotient(IQ) of children was measured by Raven's test. Children's dental fluorosis was examined by Dean's classification scheme. Results The rates of child dental fluorosis in changed water and unchanged water endemic fluorosis areas were 28.50%(57/200), 87.88%(203/231) , respectively, the difference was statistically significant(x2 = 159.19, P< 0.01),while dental fluorosis indices were 0.57,1.97, was marginal, moderate epidemic. Children with IQ above 90 was accounted for 89.5% (179/200), 91.5% (183/200) in changed water and unchanged water endemic fluorosis area,respectively, the difference was not significant (x2 = 0.46, P > 0.05). Conclusions Changed water may decrease the incidence of child dental fluorosis, but has no obvious effect on children's IQ development in endemic fluorosis area.

Objective To discuss the cause,treatment and prevention of splenic injury during the urological surgery.Methods The clinical data of 16 cases with splenic injury in operation for renal and adrenal tumors in 496 cases were retrospectively analyzed.Nine cases were left radical nephrectomy,3 cases were left renal hamartoma enucleation,4 cases were left adrenal tumor resection.Damage located at outer edge of the spleen in 8 cases,the splenorenal ligament in 6 cases,and the splenic hilum in 2 cases.In these 16 cases,14 patients spared the spleen (Ⅰ Grade injury 8 cases,Ⅱ grade 6 cases).The injuryed spleen was directly pressed with hemostatic gauze in 3 cases; 5 patients used coagulation,bonding,hemostatic gauze to stop bleeding; 2 cases of grade Ⅱ injury used U-shaped suture and coated with fibrin glue,then compressed with hemostatic gauze to stop bleeding; 2 cases of grade Ⅱ injuries with the greater omentum stitched into the seam,sprayed biological glue,were compressed with gelatin sponge; 2 cases of grade Ⅱ injury underwent splenic artery branch ligation.The other 2 cases (1 Ⅱ grade and 1 Ⅲ grade) underwent splenectomy.Results All of the 16 patients were cured and followed up for 6 months to 5 years.There was no delayed bleeding of spleen and splenic dysfunction.One patient died of tumor recurrence 6 months after operation.Conclusions Splenic injury is a common complication during urological surgery,especially the tumor is large or adhered to spleen in the upper pole of left kidney.Once spenic injury occurs,doctors should choose the right treatment plan according to surgical injury,and try to save the spleen.

ObjectiveTo explore the role of HSP27 in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury and hepatic ischemic preconditioning (IP).MethodsMale C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:control group (sham operation),IR group (only hepatic IR),rHSP27 + IR group (rHSP27 injection before IR).The extent of liver injury was evaluated among these 3 groups.Murine HSP27 was silenced by short hairpin RNA and mice were subjected to IR with or without IP after interfering succeeded.Serum ALT and AST levels,hepatic histological damages and mRNA expression levels of pro-inflammatory mediators (TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6) were measured.Results Silencing hepatic HSP27 aggravated IR injury indicated by higher concentration of serum ALT and AST (P<0.05),reinforced by severer histological damage and more expression of pro-inflammatory mediators (P<0.05),while injection of rHSP27 or IP ameliorated hepatic IR injury.Western-blot showed HSP27 expression was significantly higher in IP group than sham group.Silencing HSP27 largely removed the IP-induced hepatoprotection,indicated by restoration of caspase-3 induction.ConclusionHSP27 is an essential endogenous defense of liver against IR injury.Hepatic ischemic preconditioning can improve subsequent IR injury via up-regulation of HSP27,which is related to HSP27-mediated reduction of apoptosis.
5. The application of terahertz imaging in tumor diagnosis
Tumor 2012;32(12):1039-1042
Terahertz wave is a new coherent far infrared source that spans the gap between microwave and infrared radiation. Compared with microwave, X-ray and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) imaging, terahertz imaging has the advantages of high resolution and no harm to biological samples, which has been comprehensively applied in biomedical fields in recent years, especially in cancer diagnosis. Combined with the terahertz imaging systems of transmission type and reflection type, a general review of its application in diagnosis of skin basal cell carcinoma, breast cancer, liver cancer and cervical cancer is provided. The achievements and the problems to be solved are also discussed, which made a beneficial exploration to the cancer diagnosis technology. Copyright © 2012 by TUMOR.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical efficacy of self-made Kirschner wire hook in the treatment of severely displaced proximal humerus fractures in children.
METHODSFrom January 2007 to February 2012,35 children with severely displaced proximal humerus fractures were treated with self-made Kirschner wire hook fixation,including 25 boys and 10 girls with an average age of 13.2 years old ranging from 5 to 17. The duration from injury to operation was 1 to 10 days with an average of 4.5 days. Preoperative diagnoses were confirmed by X-ray films as type III in 26 cases and type IV in 9 according to the Neer-Horwitz classification of the proximal humerus fractures. All fractures were close fracture without nerve or vascular injuries. Anatomical reduction was achieved by open reduction and the fractures were fixed by self-made Kirschner wire hook. Intra-operative and postoperative complications, postoperative radiographic examination, upper extremity length and range of shoulder motion were observed and recorded. Neer score system was used to evaluate shoulder function.
RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 6 to 18 months with an average of 12.1 months. The mean Neer score of the injured side was 94.2 +/- 4.8 (ranged, 84 to 99), 30 patients got an excellent result and 5 good according to the Neer scores. The X-ray showed all the fractures healed without shortening deformity or epiphyseal arrest at early stage. There were no complications related to the implant including loosening or breakage of the self-made Kirschner wire hook. The range of shoulder motion in the injuried side was similar to the normal side, except in abductor lift. All the patients could participate in normal physical activities.
CONCLUSIONThe method of open reduction and fixed with self-made Kirschner wire hook is a safe,effective,convenient treatment for severely displaced proximal humeral fractures in children.

Pure culture of Phlebopus portentosus was inoculated in the roots of coffee tree. The results indi-cated that the young fruit bodies would come out around the rhizomes of host tree after inoculation in 30 to 90 days, single or cluster, 3 to 4 days for mature, weight 20.0 g to 62.0 g. Brown rhizomorph and hyphae can be seen on the seedlings`rhizome, main root and side root while nothing is on the tip of the root.It was found that rhizomorph on the surface of roots would die after inoculation in 90 days in pot.
