Objective To study the surgical treatment and defect repair of the former skull base comminuted fracture.MethodsClinical data of 47 patients were retrospectively analyzed and emergency treatment,surgical debridement and defect repair were discussed consulting the literature..Results Restore score was determined according to international standards after surgical treatment for 3 months,in all cases,36 cases restored good,6 cases with light disability,3 cases with severe disability,2 cases died.Subsequent following-up revealed 31 cases completely recovered for normal work and life,14 patients survived in varying degrees of neurological function obstacles without encephalomeningocele.Conclusion The successful surgery is determined by thorough debridement,closing the damaged local subarachnoid,repairing reconstruct former dural skull base and defective bones.

Objective To compare the effects of different prone and supine position duration within 24-hour period on mini-pig acute lung injury (ALI)models. Methods Fifteen female mini-pigs,mean weight (30.2±3.2) kg, length (76.5±5.9) cm were anesthetized and ventilated. Hydrochloric acid (pH 1.0)was aspirated intratracheally to create ALI model. Mini-pigs were assigned randomly into three groups: p rone 8 h group, prone 8h then supine 16 h; 16 h group, prone 16 h then supine 8 h; 24 h group, prone 24 h continuously. Min-pigs were euthanasia at the end of the experiment to take out the lung, examine the tissue change and calculate the wet to dry weight ratio of lung (W/D). Sample was cut into slices and carried on hematoxylin and eosin (HE) stain which was intended to calculate injury score by semi ration score criteria. Results W/D, and injury score were lower in 16 h group and 24 h group than the 8 h group,whereas no significant differences among the three groups. Conclusions Prone position for 16 hours or longer could decrease oxygenation by decreasing inflammation in acute lung injury(ALI)animal models.

OBJECTIVE To explore the expression pattern of AQP1,AQP4,AQP5 in the normal middle ear in guinea pigs and its roles in the water homeostasis in the middle ear cavity.METHODS Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT- PCR),Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining were used to detect AQP1,AQP4,AQP5 in mucosa of the bullae of normal guinea pigs.RESULTS Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunoblot analyses revealed that mRNAs encoding AQP1,AQP4,AQP5 were expressed in middle ear membrane of the guinea pigs.AQP1,AQP4 was also detected as 28-kDa,33-kDa proteins in middle ear cavity of guinea pig.Immunohistochemical staining showed that only AQP1 located at capillary endothelial cells and fibroblasts of the submucous layer,as well as at flat and cubical epithelial cells.CONCLUSION The results suggest that AQP1,AQP4,AQP5 can express in the normal middle ear cavity of guinea pigs and may play a vital role in the water transmission in the middle ear.The air-filled middle ear cavity may result from the working of AQP1,AQP4,AQP5.

Objective To evaluate cortisol level in experimental frequent febrile seizures model rats.Methods Rats were divided into 3 groups: normal control group(n=10,NC group),hyperthermic control group(n=12,HC group) and febrile seizures group(n=21,FS group).Cortisol level in serum and hippocampus of rats were determined by ELISA.Ultrastructural changes of neurons in hippocampal region CA1 was observed by electron microscop.Results 1.No special ultrastructual findings were observed from neurons in hippocampal CA1 in NC and HC group.In FS group,the neuronal degeneration and edema,the mitochondrial degeneration and edema,the mitochondrion ridge obscured or disappeared.2.Cortisol levels in serum and hippocampus in FS group [(26.57 ? 15.94)?g/L and((4.11)?1.74)?g/L,respectively] were significantly lower than those in HC group [(40.04 ? 15.72)?g/L and(6.70?3.45)?g/L,respectively](P0.05).Positive correlations were demonstrated between serum cortisol level and hippocampus cortisol level(r=0.40 P

Objective To investigate the correlation of biofilm forming ability with biofilm associated gene of the clinically isolated Staphylococcus aureus for providing basis for the further studies of the mechanisms of biofilm formation.Methods Safranine staining was conducted for the detection of the forming ability of biofilm in 96-well plates.icaAD,icaBC,sar,agr and sigB was amplified by PCR.Results Formation of biofilm could be found macroscopically in 17 out of 27 strains,especially to X387 and X409.icaAD and icaBC were amplified in 22 isolates and sar,agr and sigB in all 27 S.aureus strains.Conclusion ica operon is the key gene for biofilm formation but cooperative action of other genes is needed during the process of biofilm formation.

Objective To study the macrolide-resistance,ability of biofilm formation and icaA-genetypes of 68 stains of clinically isolated Staphylococcus epidermidis(S.epidermidis) so as to explore the efficacy of macrolide to prevent biofilm-associated infections caused by S.epidermidis.Methods Minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) were detected by agar-plate dilution method,and microtiter-plate assay was used to investigate the ability of biofilm formation,and icaA genetype was identified by PCR.Results High macrolide-resistant rate(88.2%) was showed for clinical isolated S.epidermidis,and biofilms for macrolide-resistant strains were significantly stronger than that of macrolide-sensitive strains,but there was no dependability found between these two for icaA positive rate.Conclusion Frequently-used macrolide such as erythromycin,azithromycin,and clarithromycin may incompetence to prevent biofilm-associated infections caused by S.epidermidis.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ(PPARγ)in bladder urothelial cancer tissues.Methods Parafflin‐embeded specimen of bladder urothelial cancer tissues from 50 cases and normal tissues near the bladder urothelial cancer from 5 cases were harvested from the Pathology Department of the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University between 2006 and 2009.Those cases had complete pathological and clinical data.The ex‐pression of PPARγ was detected by immunohistochemical SP method.Quantitative analysis of the PPARγ was measured by high definition pathological graphics context report system (HPIAS‐1000).One‐way analysis of variance and SNK (q)tests were used to analyze the mean density and the positive area rate of the immunohistochemical results.All data were processed by SPSS 13.0.Results The expression of PPARγwas significantly higher in bladder urothelial cancer tissues than in para‐carcinoma tis‐sues(P<0.05).Correlation between expression of PPARγ with TNM stag of bladder urothelial cancer was as follows :Positive rate of PPARγin the tissues with primary tumor size ≥3 cm was 72.4% ,significantly higher than 33.3% in the tissues with tumor size <3 cm(P<0.05);positive rate of PPARγin the cases with lymph node metastasis was 72.7% ,significantly higher than 46.4% in the cases without lymph node metastasis(P<0.05);positive rate of PPARγin patients at stage T3‐4 group was 75.0% ,significantly higher than 41.9% and 45.5% in patients at clinical stage T1 and T2(P<0.05);positive rate of PPARγin patients with poor differentiation was 68.2% ,significantly higher than 42.9% in patients with high or middle differentiation group(P<0.05).Conclusion PPARγ plays an important regulating role in the onset and progress of bladder urothelial cancer ;PPARγexpression level was correlated with primary tumor size ,pathological types and differentiation degree ,lymph node me‐tastasis and clinical stage.This result suggested that PPARγ was closely correlated to metastasis of bladder urothelial cancer.

Under the condition of microgravity, human body will experience a series of cardiovascular deconditioning. The vascular endothelial cells are the most important component of the vessel wall, so the changes of biological characteristics of vascular endothelial cells are directly related to cardiovascular deconditioning. Therefore, it is important to prevent and treat the cardiovascular deconditioning in astronauts by studying the effect of microgravity on biological characteristics of vascular endothelial cells.
