Objective To investigate the applicative value of micro-surgery in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms.Methods During January 2011 to January 2013 in our hospital,90 patients with cerebral aneurysm were randomly divided into the endovascular group and the microsurgical clipping group (n =45 each).The endovascular group were treated with endovascular interventional treatment,and the patients of the microsurgical clipping group were treated with microsurgical clipping treatment.The aneurysm occlusion rate and recurrence,time of hospital stay,complications and prognosis were compared between the two groups.Results The complete occlusion rate was higher [97.8% (44/45) vs.88.9% (40/45) and the recurrence rate was lower 2.2% (1/45) vs.13.3%(6/45) in microsurgical clipping group than in endovascular intervention group x2 =4.34 and 3.54,P=0.031 and 0.042),all P<0.o5.The average time of hospital stay was longer in the endovascular intervention group than in the microsurgical clipping group [(19.3 4.4) days vs.(16.34.9) days,t 1.93,P=0.035].The good rate was higher in microsurgical clipping group than in endovascular intervention group [91.1% (41/45) vs.77.8% (35/45),x2=6.325,P=0.012].Conclusions Microsurgical clipping surgery can significantly raise the complete occlusion of cerebral aneurysms,reduce recurrence in patients with cerebral aneurysm,decrease the hospitalization time,and improve prognosis,which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To improve the forming process of Jingning particle according to the influencing factors in its effectiveness, such as low yield, high moisture absorption and difficult dissolubility during oral administration. Methods:A new technology that im-mediate granulation after the extract was well mixed with lactose and dextrin and dried. The appearance, dissolubility, hygroscopicity and pellet formation rate ( granularity) were compared between the new technology and the old one, and the difference in critical rela-tive humidity was also studied. Results:The appearance, dissolubility and pellet formation rate of the new technology were all better than those of the old one, and the moisture absorption rate was reduced with the critical relative humidity up to 70%(25℃), which enhanced the granule stability. Conclusion:The pellet formation rate is improved by the new technology, which effectively solves the problems such as high moisture absorption and poor dissolubility, and the granule quality is improved.

Epidermal stem cells (ESCs) play a critical role in homeostasis and wound repair of skin tissue. Since ESCs are rare (fewer than 10% in total basal cells population) and lack specific markers,it is difficult to isolate and identify them from keratinocytes. Currently ,isolation of ESCs was achieved mainly by fast adhesion of ESCs to extracelluar matrix or flow cytometry. Several specific markers have been found in recent years for the identification of ESCs.

Cucumber mosaic virus was detected from infected Basella rubra L. with the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Total RNA was extracted from infected leaves and the cDNAs of coat protein gene of CMV-Ba were obtained by RT-PCR. The amplified cDNA fragments were then cloned into pMD 18-T vector and sequenced,the result showed that the CP gene was 657 nucleotides in length. This sequence was aligned with the obtained CP gene and some CMV strains or isolates of subgroup Ⅰ and subgroup Ⅱ in GenBank using DNA MAN software. The results showed that CMV-Ba shared 90.9%~93.8% and 76.1%~76.9% identity with the known CP genes of subgroup Ⅰ and Ⅱ respectively in nucleotide level,on the other hand,amino acids deduced from CMV-Ba CP gene shared 92.7%~97.7% and 72.4%~78.1% identity with the known CP protein of subgroup Ⅰ and Ⅱ,respectively. This suggested that CMV-Ba CP gene belongs to CMV subgroupⅠ.

Background Erythropoietin (EPO) was proved to be express in hematopoietic tissue and nervous system and play the effects of stimulating blood cell production and protecting nervous tissue.Researches showed that EPO is expressed in the embryon brain of animal.However,whether EPO exist in nervous-derived retina and its action on retina with the development is concerned. Objective This research was to investigate the expression of EPO during the embryonic development period of rat retina and explore the role of EPO in retina development process.Methods Clean Wistar rats with pregnancy for 12 days,16 days and 20 days were collected,and the embryonic 12-day rats (E12 d,5 rats),embryonic 16-day rats (E16 d,5 rats) and embryonic 20-day rats ( E20 d,5 rats) were obtained by caesarean operation,and 5 12-month W istar rats were used as controls.The rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and the retinal sections were prepared in the different-embryo-phase (12 d,16 d,20d) and growth phase.The expression of EPO protein and mRNA in rat retina was detected by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),respectively.The feed and use of the animals followed the Regulation for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.Results EPO was positively expressed in the cytoplasm and nuclei in the neuroepithelial layer and pigment epithelium of every-embryo-phase rats but only in retinal ganglion cell layer in 12-month-old rats.The gray scale values of EPO expression in retina were 105.55±10.35,99.35± 8.71,83.27± 7.84and 30.30± 3.80 in E12 d rats,E16 d rats,E20 d rats and 12-month-old rats respectively with a statistically significant difference (F=76.13,P<0.01 ).RT-PCR revealed that the relative values of EPO mRNA expression in retina were 0.876±0.10,0.861 ±0.09 and 0.256±0.03 in E16 d rats,E20 d rats and 12-month-old rats respectively,presenting a elevated value in embryonic rats compared with adult rats ( P =0.00).Gel imaging deletion showed that the A value of EPO amplification products was highest in E16 d rats and lowest in adult rats.Conclusions The expression of EPO appears a high to low fashion during the embryonic development of Wistar rats,which is closely associated with the developing procedure of retina.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of procalcitonin (PCT) levels in bacteria identification in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with bloodstream infection.Methods There were 540 cases of patients with bloodstream infection in our ICU between December 2007 and December 2013.The PCT levels and bacteria were identified.The application effectiveness of PCT levels in the bacteria identification was studied.Results The G+ bacteria infection rate was 49.63% (268/540),G-bacteria infection rate was 38.52% (208/540),and the fungal infection rate was 11.85% (64/540).The patients of G-bacteria had significant difference with G + bacteria and fungal infection (P < 0.05).The PCT average and positive rate of G-bacteria were significantly higher than G + bacteria and fungi group (P < 0.05),respectively.G+ bacteria and fungi infection did not have significant difference (P > 0.05).When PCT > 2.04 ng/ml,the sensitivity and specificity that applying serum PCT level to identify the between G-and G+ bacteria were 82.18% and 76.09%,respectively.When PCT >3.16 ng/ml,the sensitivity and specificity that applying serum PCT level to identify the between G-and fungus bacteria were 59.42% and 65.73%,respectively.Conclusions The identification between G-bacteria and G + bacteria,fungi with applying PCT level in bloodstream infections had high accuracy.When the PCT levels was greater than 2.04 ng/ml,the occurrence of G-bacteria was greater risk of infection.The accuracy of PCT level identifying the G + bacteria and fungi was poor.

Objective To investigate the lung function testing performing in normal smokers,and urge smokers to stop smoking early. Methods Two hundred and one adult men did the pulmonary function testing by MINATO AS-505 portable spirometer, and analyzed the effect d different smoking degree on the pulmonary function. Results There was no relationship between lung volume index and smoking, smoking degree. Compared with nonsmokers, the indicants such as FEV1, MVV, FEV1/FVC had decreased, and the indexes of the small airway function (PEF, FEF25%-75%)had significantly dropped in the smokers. And the smokers especially long-term smokers, most indexes of the pulmonary functions and all indexes of the small airway function correlated with smoking index. Conclusion Although smokers do not show clinical symptoms, their lung functions have been reduced, especially small airway function.
