Objective To explore the mechanism and therapeutic effects of wet dressing with 50% magnesium sulfate ( MgSO4 ) as a part of comprehensive treatment for wound resulted from pit viper bites in children.Methods A total of 61 children with pit-viper-bitten wound enrolled from May 2009 through May 2011 were divided into two groups,namely the comprehensive treatment group (n =31 cases) and the conventional treatment group (n =30 eases). In the comprehensive treatment group,50% magnesium sulfate wet dressing applied to the swelling parts of body in the early stage in addition to the conventional treatment and topically bandaged once a day keeping wet with spraying saline on the top of dressing.Before the treatment and on the 1st day,the 3rd day and the 5th day of treatment,the values of myocardial enzyme and the circumference of swelling parts were recorded,and the differences were analyzed by t- test.The differences in rate of wound healing in one week between two groups were analyzed by chi-square test.Results Before the treatment,there was no statistical difference in clinical features between the two groups with different modes of treatment for the viper-bitten children (P > 0.05 ). During comprehensive treatment,the values of myocardial enzyme and the circumference of swelling parts decreased more markedly than those in conventional treatment group ( P < 0.05 ).The rates of wound healing in one week of two groups were 80.5% and 56.6% respectively.Conclusions The comprehensive treatment with adjuvant of 50% MgSO4 for the viper-bitten children can effectively reduce the tissue damage caused by venom,and the swelling as well,restoring function of body and shortening the time for wound healing and preventing complications.

AIM: To clone human ?-globin gene carrying a thalassemic mutation IVS II654(C→T) and establish a eukaryotic expression system for high-level expression of human ? IVS II654 gene in mouse erythroleukaemia(MEL) cells. METHODS: The fragments of human ? 654 gene isolated from the ? thalassemia patients homozygous for the ? 654 mutation were amplified by PCR, and cloned to plasmid pBGT51. Then, the human ? LCR and ? 654 gene were subcloned from plasmid pBGT51 to the stable mammalian expression vector pcDNA3.1+ together, and the MEL cells were transfected with this vector using commercially available cationic lipid FuGENE6. The MEL cells were induced for further maturation by DMSO and the expression of human ? 654 gene in the MEL cells was identified by RT-PCR. RESULTS: A mammalian expression system of human ? thalassemic mutation ?IVS II654(C→T) was established. CONCLUSION: The level and the reliability of expression of human ? 654 gene in the MEL cells in vitro are similar to that in vivo in human body. This may be a valuable gene therapy model for human ? thalassemic mutation ?IVS II654(C→T).

Moyamoya disease is a rare cerebrovascular disorder, characterised by progressive stenosis and/or
occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery and its proximal branches with the development
of a basal collateral network. Moyamoya disease has a high prevalence in Asia, particularly in Japan,
Korea and China. Ischemic events and intracranial bleeding are the most common clinical manifestation
of moyamoya disease. Although the benefi cial effect on hemorrhage is still not clear, revascularisation
surgery remains the most effective way to prevent the progression of ischemic symptoms. Moyamoya
disease has been investigated by numerous studies since it was fi rst described 50 years ago, many
conundrums remain to be solved. In this article, we review the history, epidemiology, aetiology, clinical
manifestation, diagnosis and treatment of moyamoya disease. Recent advances and future challenges
of moyamoya disease are also discussed.
