Objective To analyze the death causes of the burn patients so as to explore the effective procedures which can raise burn management level. Methods One hundred patients died of burn injury during the past 20 years were enrolled in the study. The died patients were grouped as A (1984～1993) and B (1994～2003) groups, each group containing 50 cases. The mortality, burn area and depth, etiology, pre-hospital treatment, admission time, survival time, tracheostomy, the application of respirator and fibrobronchoscope, operation times, continuous renal replace treatment (CRRT), the incidence of inhalation injury and the pathogenesis of burn death were analyzed and compared between A and B groups. Results There were no differences in burn severity (area and degree), etiology and causes of burn death between the two groups. But the mortality in B group (1%) was evidently lower than that in A group (2%, P

Objective To construct an expression vector harboring CYP2B1 suicide gene, and detect its expressions in tumor cell lines. Methods PCR amplification was performed using primers based on murine CYP2B1 gene sequence from gene bank and pc3/2B1 as template. PCR product was directly inserted an eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.0. The recombinants were analyzed and identified by restriction enzyme analysis, PCR and sequencing. Then the recombinant vector pcDNA3.0/CYP2B1 was transfected into three tumor cell lines by liposome-mediated method. The expressions of CYP2B1 gene in all the cell lines were detected by RT-PCR method. Results pCDNA3.0/CYP2B1 vector was successfully constructed, and could express CYP2B1 mRNA in the three tumor cell lines. Conclusion Eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.0/CYP2B1 containing CYP2B1 gene under the control of a CMV promoter is an novel effective expression vector for tumor gene therapy.

Aim To explore effects of acidic fibroblast growth factor(aFGF)on the growth of renal tubular epithelial cells cultured in vitro. Methods Renal tubular epithelial cells in rats were gained through digestion by pamcreatin. aFGF was added into cultures of renal tubular epithelial cells, as experimental groups. The number of cells was counted and the shape of cells was observed at 12,24,48 and 72 h. Results Renal tubular epithelial cells were successfully obtained from kidneys. After treated for 72 h,the renal tubular epithelial cells showed different proliferation in experimental and control groups. There was no obvious difference at 12 h, but there was statistical difference between the two groups at 24 h,48h and 72 h(P

0.05), whereas the mean difference on the portal vein contrast enhanced phase was statistically greater than that on the hepatic artery contrast enhanced phase or delayed phase ( P

0.05). CONCLUSION: Domestic and foreign Rapamycin-eluting stents are safe and efficient for emergency PCI in elder patients with AMI, without biocompatibility and safety. There are no evident differences in two type stents.

Objective To establish the chromatographic fingerprint of Curcuma wenyujin by HPLC.Methods The chromatographic fingerprint of C.wenyujin was established by HPLC with Shimadzu VP-ODS C18 column(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m),acetonitrile-water(0.1 phosphoric acid) gradient elution,the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min,column temperatures of 30 ℃,and detective wavelength at 210 nm.ResultsTaking germacrone as the reference peak,14 common-peaks were selected as the fingerprint peaks.The similarities among samples of C.wenyujin among 19 approved samples and their standard chromatographic fingerprints were calculated with a software "Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of Chinese Materia Medica" published by GPC(Version 2004A) and cluster analysis.ConclusionThis method with better accuracy and reproducibility could be used in the quality control of C.wenyujin.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of non-mitogenic human acidic fibroblast growth factor (nm-haFGF) on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. Methods Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was made by ligating bilateral carotid for 20 minutes in mice. These mice were randomly divided into model group( iv NS), two doses of nm-haFGF (iv 25、50 ?g?kg-1) groups, rhaFGF group(iv 50 ?g?kg-1) and sham- operated group. Step down test and Y-type electric maze were used to examine the effect of nm-haFGF on learning and memory of mice, then Even′s Blue(EB) level and NO level in brain of these mice were measured. Results The nm-haFGF significantly decreased numbers of errors of mice in 5 min in step down test and in Y-type electric maze test; EB and NO levels in brain of these mice were lower than those of model group respectively. Conclusion The nm-haFGF can protect cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice.

AIM: To investigate the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on radiation-induced splenocytic apoptosis of mice. METHODS: At 14 h after whole body irradiation with 0.5 Gy and 1.0 Gy,splenocytes were cultured with and without bFGF,and splenocytic apoptosis was quantitatively analysed by flow cytometry. Cell proliferation was determined by the method of [3H]-TdR incorporation. RESULTS: bFGF(1 ?g/mL and 2 ?g/mL) could reduce the rate of cell apoptosis ,and promote the proliferation of splenocytes. CONCLUSION: bFGF could inhibit radiation-induced splenocytic apoptosis and promote the proliferation of splenocytes and then enhance body immunity.

Objective To improve the diagnosing level of lunate and perilunate dislocation through analysing X-ray finding and causes of missing diagnosis.Methods 16 cases of lunate and perilunate dislocation missed diagnosis were analysed.Results In 16 cases,there were 3 cases of ventral lunate dislocation,2 cases of trans-scaphoid ventral lunate dislocation,6 cases of dorsal perilunate lunate dislocation,3 cases of trans-scaphoid dorsal perilunate lunate dislocation and 2 cases of atypical dorsal perilunate lunate dislocation.6 cases were missed in diagnosis(37.5%).Conclusion Knowing well the normal X-ray sign of wrist,mastering the X-ray characteristic of each types of dislocation and fracture,is the linchpin of reducing missing diagnosis.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) are clinically rare,however,it shows an in creasing trend recent years.Surgical management,such as radical resection or debulking,plays an important role in this field.Different procedures can be applied to tumors with different types,locations,and developing stages.The optimal clinical management of pNENs involves a multidisciplinary approach in order to improve prognosis.
