ObjectiveTo analyze the relative influential factors of hearing rehabilitation of the deafened children with multichannel cochlear implant. Methods42 prelingually deafened children who accepted multichannel cochlear implant were evaluated with their hearing ability, hearing thresholds and talent level, while their family and usage of the multichannel cochlear were investigated. Results and ConclusionThe result shows that the factors influencing the hearing rehabilitation are the occupations of the parents, income of the family, the time between diagnosing deaf and the operation, the time after the cochlear implant operation and the talent level. The results of the logistic regression show that the deafened children can gain their hearing developing rapidly if they living in a family with high income, their mothers have accepted more education, and they accepted longer time of continuing hearing-aid, etc.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to investigate the effects of hirudin on the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF-β1) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) in vitro, as well to explore its func- tion in the mechanism of gingival remodeling.

METHODSAfter culturing was performed with classic tissue-explant method, HGFs were derived from normal gingival and gingival hyperplasia tissues followed by orthodontic treatments with different concentrations of hirudin. The mRNA and protein expression levels of TGF-β1 and bFGF were respectively detected by real time quantity polymerase chain reaction and immunocytochemistry.

RESULTSCompared with normal HGFs, TGF-β1 expression promoted collagen synthesis of fibroblasts, whereas bFGF collagen synthesis was decreased in hyperplasia HGFs without hirudin (P < 0.05). Hirudin significantly upregulated the expression levels of bFGF but downregulated TGF-β1 in hyperplasia HGFs (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONOrthodontic force may influence the balance of collagen synthesis and degradation in HGFs. Hirudin may modulate the balance of HGF collagen metabolism, thereby promoting gingival remodeling.

ObjectiveTo investigate the learning curve of total thoracoscopicy cardiac surgery.MethodsClinical data of a succession of 125 patients undering total thoracoscopicy ASD and VSD repair between October 2004 to January 2010 were collected and reviewed.The procedure was perfomed by the same surgeon.The patients were divided equally into 5 groups (groupA,B,C,D and E,n =25 in each group ) according to the sequence of the operation.The operative time,extracorporeal circulation time,aortic cross-clamped time,the rate of conversion rate to thoracotomy and postoperative complications were compared between the 5 groups.ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences between the 5 groups with respect to age,gender,weight,dieases and surgical approach(P ＞ 0.05).The operative time,extracorporeal circulation time and aortic clump time in group A and group B significant longer then that in group C,group D and group E(P ＜0.05).Group A and group B was no statistically significant difference each other( P ＞ 0.05 ).Group C,D and E have no statistically significant differences between(P ＞0.05 ).The rate of conversion rate to thoracotomy and postoperative complications in 5 groups have no statistically significant differences comparative( P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionThe learning curve of total thoracoscopicy surgery is approximalely 50 cases.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum leptin levels and the influential factors in maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients.Methods Seventy-six peritoneal dialysis patients were chosen at the time before,and 3 months,6 months,12 months,18 months and 24 months after they began the peritoneal dialysis therapy,to examine body mass index (BMI),triceps skinfold thickness (TSF),abdominal circumference,homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR),the plasma lipid profile,and leptin in the same situation.Results For 24 months,these patients showed higher serum leptin level than the values before commencing peritoneal dialysis treatment (P ＜ 0.01).The level of leptin was positively correlated with the BMI(r =0.412,P ＜ 0.01),TSF(r =0.308,P ＜ 0.01),abdominal circumference(r =0.284,P ＜ 0.01),HOMA-IR(r =0.184,P ＜ 0.01) and TG(r =0.288,P ＜ 0.01),negatively corelated with the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)(r =-0.285,P ＜ 0.01).Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that BMI (β =0.339,P ＜ 0.01),TGβ =0.157,P ＜ 0.01) and HDL (β =-0.126,P ＜ 0.05)were significant predictive factors for the changes of serum leptin levels.Conclusion Leptin maybe involve in the occurrence and the development of cardiovascular events like other metabolic parameters in peritoneal dialysis therapy.

AIM: To study the effects of Huoxue Huayu and Yiqi Wenyang compound prescription (composition; ginseng, radix astragali, plantaginis semen, lignum sappan, chuanxiong, salvia miltiorrhiza, radix aconiti lateralis preparata, bitter orange, cassia twig) of TCM on the congestive heart failure in rats. METHODS:The rats were given doxorubicin hydrochloride by intraperitoneal injection to establish the model of congestive heart failure and were randomly divided into control group, congestive heart failure model group, Xinbao treatment group ( XB treatment) and Huoxue Huayu and Yiqi Wenyang compound prescription treatment group (QXYTM treatment). Normal saline, liquid medicine Xinbao and liquid medicine Huoxue Huayu and Yiqi Wenyang compound prescription were administered respectively to four groups by gavage. Radioimmunoassay, semi - quantitative RT - PCR and flow cytometry methods were used to determine the expressions of plasma atrial natriuretic peptide ( ANP) , renal medulla aquaporin - 2 ( AQP2 ) and heat shock protein70 (HSP70) in congestive heart failure rats before and after treatment. RESULTS: In congestive heart failure rats treated with Huoxue Huayu and Yiqi Wenyang compound prescription, the cardiac output and left ventricle systolic pressure increased significantly, the left ventricular end diastolic pressure decreased, and the maximum ascending and declining rate of left ventricular pressure ameliorated, thus the hemodynamics was effectively improved. Meanwhile, the level of plasma cardionatrin decreased, the abnormal expression of renal medulla AQP2 was markedly restored, and the transcription and expression of HSP70 gene were also increased. CONCLUSION: Huoxue Huayu and Yiqi Wenyang compound prescription promotes the recovery of the pathogenetic conditions of congestive heart failure in rare. The mechanism may be in association with a decrease in plasma ANP level, correction of renal medulla AQP2 abnormal expression and enhancement of HSP70 expression.

Objective:To analyze the craniofacial morphology characeristics of patients with peg-shaped upper lateral incisors. Methods:1 13 patients,aged 12 ~28 years,with peg-shaped upper lateral incisors were included,lateral cephalograms were taken and analyzed cephalometrically.Data were statistically analysed.Results:The sagittal facial patterns were skeletal Class Ⅰ(40.71%),skeletal Class Ⅱ(9.73%)and skeletal Class Ⅲ(49.56%).The vertical skeletal patterns were average vertical type (41.59%),high vertical type(18.58%)and low vertical type(39.82%).SNA,ANB,Ptm-A(mm),U1-SN,L1-NB,UL-EP were smaller(P<0.05)and SNB,PP-GoGn,SN-MP,Y axis,U1-L1,U1-NA,L1-MP and Z angles were increased(P<0.05).Conclu-sion:Patients with peg-shaped upper lateral incisors show Class Ⅲ skeletal pattern with maxillary retrognathia and mandibular prog-nathism.

Objective To analyze the relationship of penA, ponA, porB and mtrR gene mutations with the reduced sensitivity to ceftriaxone in N.gonorrhoeae isolates from Shenzhen city.Methods A total of 296 clinical isolates of N.gonorrhoeae were collected in Shenzhen city from 2009 to 2011.The agar dilution method was used to estimate the sensitivity of these N.gonorrhoeae to ceftriaxone.Totally, 53 strains with reduced sensitivity to ceftriaxone (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC): 0.06-0.50 μg/ml) were identified, and 53 strains with high sensitivity to ceftriaxone were randomly selected from the remaining strains and served as the control group.PCR was performed to amplify the penA, ponA,porB and mtrR genes from the 106 isolates followed DNA sequencing.Results The mosaic structure of the penicillinbinding protein 2 (PBP2) gene (penA gene) was found in only one isolate with a ceftriaxone MIC of 0.125 0 μg/ml.Amino acid sequence analysis of the remaining 105 isolates yielded 16 different amino acid patterns.The MICs of ceftriaxone were relatively high (0.062 5 μg/ml) in N.gonorrhoeae strains harboring the amino acid patterns ⅩⅢ, ⅩⅧ or ⅩⅩⅩⅧ,but relatively low (0.008 0 μg/ml) in those harboring the amino acid pattern Ⅱ.No significant differences were observed in the frequency of mtrR, porB or ponA gene mutations between N.gonorrhoeae isolates with reduced sensitivity to ceftriaxone and those with high sensitivity (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The mosaic structure of PBP2 may be not the primary reason for reduced sensitivity of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to ceftriaxone in Shenzhen, while different amino acid patterns produced by various mutations in amino acid residues at positions 500-580 in the non-mosaic PBP2, together with mtrR, porB and ponA mutations, may play more important roles in the reduced sensitivity.
