BACKGROUND:The pelvic nerves innervate the pelvic viscera as wel as bring sensory information to the central nerve system, including splanchnic nerves and spinal nerves. Each of them comprises both motor fibers and sensitive fibers. Mostly, the key part of splanchnic plexus is pelvic plexus. Total mesorectal excision proposed by Heald in 1982 has been the “gold standard” for diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. However, it carries a high risk of nerve damage during surgery, which results in urinary retention, sexual dysfunction and other complications. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the former researches so as to get a precise understanding of the pelvic fascia and nerve structure. METHODS:Using “splanchnic nerves, superior hypogastric plexus, pelvic plexus, pelvic splanchnic nerve, total mesorectal excision (TME), clinical anatomy” as key words, a computer-based search of PubMed was done for articles related to the pelvic nerves, including its pathway, consistent, ganglia, and reflection in pelvic viscera, published from 2000 to 2015. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The main splanchnic plexus in the pelvic cavity includes superior hypogastric plexus (it is located in the triangle formed by left and right common iliac artery and the sacral promontory), and pelvic plexus (hypogastric nerve, pelvic splanchnic nerve and sacral splanchnic nerve converge at the bottom of rectum, formed pelvic plexus, also known as the inferior hypogastric plexus). It is flattened against the lateral aspect of the rectum, the dorso-lateral bladder wal and the seminal vesicles. Nerves come from the plexus contain the sympathetic nerve, parasympathetic nerve and sensory nerve. They are in charge of the motions and sensations of the pelvic organs. The definite knowledge on the anatomy of pelvic fascia and nerve structures can avoid nerve damage during operation, which can help to improve the life quality of patients.

BACKGROUND:Currently, it is stil controversial about the border, surrounding fascia, space of pelvic cavity, distribution of nerves and lymph nodes of the mesorectum, and the development of new technologies makes a progress in related anatomic research.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the previous studies so as to describe clearly the progress of mesorectal anatomy and to discuss its clinical value.
METHODS: Using “rectum; mesentery; fascia; space; nerve; lymph node; total mesorectal excision (TME); clinical anatomy” as key words, a computer-based search of PubMed was done for articles related to the mesorectum and surrounding fasciae, space of pelvic cavity, distribution of nerves and lymph nodes.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Fresh or frozen specimens are often used for studying the mesenterium, fascia, nerves and lymph nodes by using traditional pelvic and perineum anatomical methods. Computer-assisted anatomical dissection can combine immunostaining with computer imaging. A three-dimensional model can wel reflect the relationship among the different anatomical structures, as wel as nerve traveling and spatial location. Mesorectum is located behind the denonviliers and in the front of the sacral fascia of the rectum. Pelvic splanchnic nerve of the mesorectum is derived from the anterior sacral nerve root, runs through the presacral fascia, and enters into the neuro-fascial layervia the pesacral space, which is divided into the upper and lower parts according to the peritoneum. There are more folds in the rear of lymph nodes within the mesorectum within and near the peritoneum. There are stil a lot of controversies about anatomical relationship between the mesorectum and surrounding structures, and to elaborate these issues can provide an objective basis for guiding clinical work.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of nicastrin (nct) gene on the biological functions of melanocytes in zebrafish.Methods:By using a morpholino oligonucleotide (MO) technology, a nct-MO sequence targeting the zebrafish nct mRNA was designed, so was a MO control (ctrl-MO) sequence. Then, the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) mRNA with MO target sequence at its 5′ end was synthesized, and co-microinjected with the nct-MO or ctrl-MO sequence into the zebrafish embryos to verify the silencing efficiency of nct-MO and observe changes in developmental phenotypes in zebrafish. With wild-type zebrafish as a blank control group, real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) was conducted to determine the mRNA expression of melanin synthesis-and notch signaling pathway-related genes, including mitfa, tyr, tyrp1a, tyrp1b, dct, pmela, notch1a, notch1b and hey1 genes. One-way analysis of variance was used for the comparison of means among multiple groups, and least significant difference (LSD) - t test for multiple comparisons. Results:Eight hours after zebrafish fertilization, green fluorescence was observed in the zebrafish embryos in the ctrl-MO+EGFP mRNA group, but not in the nct-MO+EGFP mRNA group or blank control group. Forty-eight hours after fertilization, the proportion of pigmented area among the whole area of the tail of zebrafish larvae was significantly lower in the nct-MO group (0.169 ± 0.083) than in the ctrl-MO group (0.258 ± 0.042, t=3.202, P=0.005) , and disorderly pigment distribution in the tails was observed in the nct-MO group. RT-PCR revealed significant differences in the mRNA expression of pmela, tyrp1a and hey1 genes among the nct-MO group, ctrl-MO group and blank control group (all P < 0.05) , but no significant difference was observed in the mRNA expression of mitfa, tyr, tyrp1b, dct, notch1a or notch1b genes among the 3 groups (all P>0.05) ; the relative expression levels of pmela and tyrp1a mRNAs were significantly lower in the nct-MO group (0.708 ± 0.028, 0.558 ± 0.136, respectively) than in the ctrl-MO group (1.023 ± 0.142, 1.016 ± 0.134, respectively, both P < 0.05) . Conclusion:The nct gene may affect biological functions of melanocytes by regulating melanin synthesis in zebrafish.

Objective To investigate the effect of plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels and cognitive dysfunction on patients with type 2 diabetes and explore the other factors that affect cognitive function.Methods 80 patients with type 2 diabetes were selected as our subjects and they were divided into cognitive impairment group (38 cases),cognitive normal group (42 cases) according to a simple mental state scale(MMSE) score.The plasma Hcy,glycosylated hemoglobin,blood lipid,uric acid,24 h urine trace albumin were measured.Results Plasma Hcy concentration in diabetic cognitive dysfunction,non cognitive impairment group and normal control group respectively were(19.56 ± 5.23),(16.21 ± 3.27),(14.67 ± 4.27) tmol/L,and there was statistically significant difference(F =3.76,P ＜0.05).The plasma Hcy levels in diabetic cognitive impairment group was higher than that non-cognitive impairment group(P ＜ 0.05) and normal control group (P ＜ 0.01),The factors impaired cognitive function in patients with other factors included age,glycosylated hemoglobin,body mass index,diabetes duration and plasma Hcy levels,and there were negative correlation with MMSE score (r =-0.336,-0.285,-0.226,-0.392,-0.312 ; all P values were less than 0.05).Conclusion Patient's age,duration of diabetes,glycosylated hemoglobin and BMI can affect cognitive function in patients.Higher Hcy levels in patients with type 2 diabetes is a risk factor for cognitive impairment.

Objective To understand the drug resistance situation of pathogenic bacteria clinically isolated in Dongguan Munici-pal People′s Hospital during 2013.Methods The drug sensitivity test were performed by adopting the associated reagent strip of the VITEK2-compact microbial analyzer from French bioMerieux company,including AST-GN test,AST-GP33 test,AST-GP68 test and K-B method (only for Haemophilus influenzae).The data were analyzed by the Whonet5.5 software.Results In 2013,to-tally 7 543 strains of pathogens were detected out,including 6 031 strains(79.9%)of Gram negative bacteria,1512 strains(20.1%) of Gram positive bacteria.The detection rates of ESBL in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 46.9% and 28.1%,re-spectively.The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in Staphylococcus were 16.8% and 77% respectively.The detection rate of multidrug resistant strains was 21.5%.The resistant rate of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to ampicillin and cefazolin were greater than 60%;which of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ampicillin,furosemide,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,ceftriaxone,ce-fotetan and cefazolin was more than 80%;which of Baumanii to imipenem was still 61.2%,which to aztreonam,ceftriaxone,cefotet-an,cefazolin was more than 98%.The resistance rate of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin was 6.2%.No vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain was detected out.Conclusion The detected pathogenic bacteria in 2013 were dominated by Gram-neg-ative bacilli,the multidrug resistant bacterial strains had the higher detection rate,the drug resistance of Baumanii was serious.The resistance of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin showed the increasing trend.Monitoring the bacterial drug resistance every year and understanding the change of pathogenic drug resistance can provide the basis for the rational selection of antimicrobial drugs in clinic.

Objective To discuss the biomechanical factors in the nonunion of femoral fractures and raise corresponding measures. Methods Sixty eight cases with nonunion of femoral shaft fractures were treated with interlocking intramedullary nailing and 13 with nonunion of distal femoral fractures fixated with dynamic condylar screw (DCS). Inner and outer intramedullary bone graft was performed simultaneously. Results The follow up time was 8 24 months with an average of 14 months in all cases. Sixty eight cases got bone healing except for five cases with breakage of nail or lock nail, which were all cured with again interlocking intramedullary nailing combined with bone graft. Thirteen cases with nonunion of distal femoral fractures were healed after DCS internal fixation treatment. The healing time averaged 6.5 months in 81 cases. According to synthetic standards including bone healing and function recovery, 54 cases won excellent bone healing, 21 good and 6 poor, with an excellence rate of 92.6%. Conclusions The failed femoral fracture operation is mainly due to the failed internal fixation caused by the biomechanical factor of the abductor muscles. Therefore, intramedullary nailing system should be the first choice for internal fixation of femoral shaft fractures and nonunion; and DCS should be used for condylar fractures and nonunion.
