ObjectiveTo improve an obvious postoperative man-made crease when eyes closed and to achieve the optimal cosmetic and functional results.MethodsExposing and scissoring the levator aponeurosis were performed to make it move freely.Fairly infra-incision and lower margin orbicularis oculi muscle were cut.The double eyelids were formed by fixing the palpebral dermis of the lower skin flap onto the levator aponeurosis.ResultsThe follow-up of 580 patients (1160 eyes) showed that double eyelid crease were natural and fluent,eyelashes raised slightly,there was no an obvious postoperative man-made crease when eyes closed,and there was no sausage-appearing. Conclusions The method is quick,with minor injury and fast restoration. There is no sausage appearance and an obvious man-made crease when eyes are closed,and so double eyelids are natural and nice,the postoperative results are all aesthetically and functionally pleased.

Objective To investigate the significance of hypoxia inducible factor lα and lactate and lactate clearance in patients with septic shock.Methods A prospective observational study was conducted.Thirty healthy volunteers (control group) and 40 cases of septic shock patients in EICU were recruited.According to the survival time,40 patients with septic shock were divided into survival group (21 cases,survival time > 28 days) and death group (19 cases,survival time ≤ 28 d).The HIF-lα level was tested by ELISA assay.Lactate level of 0,6,12,24 h in arterial blood were also tested.Lactate clearance rate of the 6 h,12 h and 24 h were calculated.The association of HIF-1α and lactate level and lactate clearance rate,APACHE Ⅱ score and prognosis were evaluated.Results 40 patients with septic shock,20 male and 20 femnales,the mean age was (61.3 ± 12.8) years.The 28 day mortality rate was 47.5%.The average APACHE Ⅱ score was (23.7 ± 4.83) and arterial blood lactate levels was (5.88 ± 2.73) mmol/L.In death group and survival group,the levels of HIF-1α levels and blood lactate were significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05).The death group increased more significantly (P < 0.05).In death group,the 6 h,12 h and 24 h lactate clearance rate were lower than the survival group (all P < 0.01).APACHE Ⅱ score were higher than that in survival group (P < 0.05) and the difference is statistically significant.The lactate and HIF-1α were positively correlated (r =0.868,P < 0.01).Blood lactate and HIF-1α levels were all positively correlated with APACHEⅡ score (r =0.804,P < 0.01) and (r =0.811,P < 0.01).Conclusion The level of HIF-1α,blood lactate,lactate clearance rate are closely related with the severity and prognosis of septic shock and may become an important indicator of the prognosis.

BACKGROUND:With the development of sports medicine and research of radiologic imaging techniques, Blumensaat line (the radio-opaque line at the roof of the intercondylar notch) has been paid increasing attention. Blumensaat line is considered as measurement indexes of knee diseases. Taking advantage of the Blumensaat line, many surgeons and radiography physicians are trying to diagnose some knee diseases. OBJECTIVE:According to the knowledge about Blumensaat line in auxiliary diagnosis of knee disease, we hoped that it wil have a wide application in clinic. METHODS:A computer-based online search of CBM, CNKI, Wangfang Database and PubMed between 2000 and 2015 was performed for articles addressing Blumensaat line. We summarized its application as different diagnostic indicators. The key words were patel a alta, Blumensaat line, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and ACL reconstruction. Thirty-nine studies were accorded with the inclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Blumensaat line represents the tangential y hit part of the roof in the intercondylar fossa. The line can be used for diagnosing ACL injuries and directing ACL restruction. (1) Blumensaat line and patel a alta:Patel a heights can be measured with the use of Blumensaat method, modified Blumensaat method and modified Blumensaat ratio. Modified Blumensaat ratio was found by Japanese researchers in 2014 and it is efficient. (2) Blumensaat line and ACL injuries:Blumensaat angle is formed by Blumensaat line and ACL. If this angle is negative or it is greater than 15°, we can draw a conclusion that the ACL was hurt. (3) Harner’s method can be used for choosing an accurate isometric point and a perfect bone tunnel’s angel in ACL reconstruction.

Objective To predict B cell epitopes in Sj22, Sj23, Sj14-3-3, Sj26 of Schistosoma japonicum with bioinformatics, and evaluate the antigenicity of these epitope proteins. Methods The complete DNA sequences of S.japonicum were predicted by BioSun system, the target B cell epitope genes were selected, cloned and expressed. The expressed fusion proteins were detected with the sera of schistosomiasis patients and health people for evaluation of their antigenicity. Results Eight B cell epitopes from four molecules of S.japonicum were predicted. The B cell epitopes of Sj22 probably located in 56-62 and 127-133 amino acids. The B cell epitopes of Sj23 probably located in 149-156 and 160-167 amino acids. The B cell epitopes of S14-3-3 probably located in 118-125 and 130-137 amino acids. The B cell epitopes of Sj26 probably located in 143-149 and 191-197 amino acids. The predicted epitope genes were cloned into pET-32c plasmid and expressed. Three of eight expressed fusion proteins of epitopes were reacted with the sera of schistosomiasis patients but not with health people. Conclusion Three epitope antigens with potential diagnosis value are determined.
