We first study the photosensitization to bacteria and fungi with a definite structure, watersoluble porphyrin. We found that the porphyrin had strong sterilization on the Staphylococcus au- reus and Candida albicans. When the porphyrin concentrations increased, its sterilization strengthened. The sterilization was related to the photoradiating time. When photoradiating time was one hour, its sterilizing ability was the greatest. Its sterilizing ability was similar to the penicillin's.

Objective To evaluate the technique and outcome of arthroscopic reconstruction of posterior cruciate ligament(PCL)with preservation of the remnants.Methods From January 2006 to January 2009.16 knees in 16 patients with PCL tear were verified with arthroscopy.All the damaged PCL were reconstructed with single bundle of autogenous quadrupled hamstring tendons under arthroscopy without remove of the remnants of PCL.Endo-button and Bio-absorbabh interference screw were used for direct anatomic fixation of the reconstructed ligament.Results No severe complication occurred in early stage after operation in the 16 patients.All of them were followed up from 4 to 14 months with an average of (7.4±2.1)months.Lysholm score was remarkable improved from mean(61.3±8.7)preoperative scores to mean(91.7±6.3)scores at the latest follow up(P＜0.05).Furthermore,there was a significant improvement in IKDC scofe from abnormal (grade C)in 9 knees and severely abnormal (grade D)in 7 knees preoperatively to normal(grade A)in 11 knees,nearly normal(grade B)in 5 knees at the follow up.All of the 16 patients returned to the same sports level before injury.Conclusion Arthroscopic reconstruction of PCL with preservadon of the remnants has advantages of minimal inmmrticular interference,and potential facility to revagculization and reinnervation of the reconstlucted ligament.

Objective:To evaluate the outcome of laser coagulation under fetoscope for placental chorioangioma (CA).Methods:The clinical data of three pregnant women with giant CA treated by laser coagulation under fetoscope in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Relevant articles up to September 2022 were retrieved from Wanfang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed, and the clinical data of all patients were retrospectively summarized. Indications and intervention effects of fetoscopic laser therapy were analyzed. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the data.Results:Thirteen patients were involved in this study including 10 cases retrieved from the databases. The average age of the pregnant women was (30.3±6.2) years old. There were 12 cases of single pregnancy and one case of twin pregnancy (monochorionic diamnionic twin pregnancy). Except for cases for which data were not available in the literatures, at the diagnosis of CA, the average gestational age was (19.9±4.5) weeks ( n=7) and the average maximum diameter of the mass was (6.1±4.1) cm ( n=6). The patients underwent fetoscopic laser therapy at an average gestational age of (25.0±2.0) weeks ( n=13) with the average maximum tumor diameter of (7.6±2.8) cm ( n=9). After treatment, the amniotic fluid volume of three cases decreased to normal. In one case, the amniotic fluid volume decreased but was still above the upper limit of the normal range. Moreover, the maximum tumor diameter decreased in four cases; the peak systolic velocity of the fetal middle cerebral artery decreased to normal in one case; fetal heart function became normal in two cases and fetal edema was relieved in one case. Among the three patients treated in our hospital, the blood supply of CA disappeared after treatment. Intrauterine fetal death occurred in two cases. The other 11 patients gave birth to live babies at the gestational age of (36.6±3.8) weeks with five through cesarean section (5/11), five through vaginal delivery (4/11) and two not reported. The birth weight of the neonates was (2 712±1 023) g and all of them survived. The gender of five neonates were reported and all were females, two of them were monochorionic diamnionic twins. No abnormality was found in the three neonates delivered in our hospital during a six-month follow-up. No abnormality was reported in the other neonates during ten days to six months of follow-up. Conclusions:Fetoscopic laser coagulation may help reduce the size of CA, decrease complications and improve pregnancy outcomes.

Objective: To explore the effect of PDCA nursing model combined with token reward on the compliance and negative emotions of children with hypospadias. Methods: A total of 120 children with hypospadias who were admitted to Children′s hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University from February 2017 to December 2017 were selected as study subjects. According to the time of admission, they were divided into observation group and control group, with 60 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing care, the observation group was given PDCA nursing mode combined with token rewards intervention on the basis of routine care. The self-made children's behavioral compliance assessment table was used to compare the compliance of the two groups of children. Achenbach Child Behavior Check List (CBCL) scores were performed before and after the intervention. The hospitalization time and the incidence of complications were calculated. Results: There was no significant difference in CBCL scores between the two groups at admission (t=0.965, P=0.102). The scores of compliance and CBCL scores of the observation group were (43.12±3.99) points and (17.62±7.30) points respectively, the scores of control group were (30.67±4.53), (24.23±6.67), the difference was statistically significant (t=15.977, 5.184, P<0.01). The hospitalization time and complication rate of the observation group were (18.73±0.84)d, 15.00% (9/60), which were significantly lower than (20.92±1.90) d, 31.67% (19/60) of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=8.166, χ²=4.658, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusions The PDCA nursing model combined with token reward can improve the compliance of children with hypospadias and improve their negative emotions.

The secretion of melatonin (MT) is obviously different in the younger and the senior sectors of the population, and the maximum plasma concentration of seniors is only half of that in the younger population group. If exogenous MT can be supplied to senior citizens based on the secretion rate and amount of endogenous MT in the younger population by a bio-mimetic drug delivery system (DDS), an improved therapeutic effect and reduced side effects can be expected. Based upon this hypothesis, the pharmacokinetic parameters of MT, namely, the absorption rate constant (k a), the elimination rate constant (k e), and the ratio of absorption rate (F) to the apparent volume of distribution (V) were obtained by a residual method depending on the plasma concentration curve of immediate release preparations in the healthy younger population. The dose-division method was applied to calculate the cumulative release profiles of MT achieved by oral administration of a controlled release drug delivery system (DDS) to generate plasma MT profiles similar to the physiological level-time profiles. The in vivo release of MT deduced from the healthy younger population physiological MT profiles as the pharmacokinetic output of the bio-mimetic DDS showed a two-phase profile with two different zero order release rates, namely, 4.919 μg/h during 0-4 h (r=0.9992), and 11.097 μg/h during 4-12 h (r=0.9886), respectively. Since the osmotic pump type of DDS generally exhibits a good correlation between in vivo and in vitro release behaviors, an osmotic pump controlled delivery system was designed in combination with dry coating technology targeting on the cumulative release characteristics to mimic the physiological MT profiles in the healthy younger population. The high similarity between the experimental drug release profiles and the theoretical profiles (similarity factor f 2>50) and the high correlation between the predicted plasma concentration profiles and the theoretical plasma concentration profiles (r=0.9366, 0.9163, 0.9264) indicated that a prototype bio-mimetic drug delivery system of MT was established. The similarity factors between the experimental drug release profiles and the theoretical release profile were all larger than 50 both in periods of 0-4 h and 4-12 h, namely, 68.8 and 57.3 for the first batch (Batch No. 20131031), 76.7 and 50.2 for the second batch (Batch No. 20131101), and 73.7 and 51.1 for the third batch (Batch No. 20131126), respectively. The correlation coefficients between the predicted plasma concentration profiles based on the release profiles of the bio-mimetic DDS and physiological profiles were 0.9366 (Batch No. 20131031), 0.9163 (Batch No. 20131101), 0.9264 (Batch No. 20131126), respectively. Since the pharmacokinetic profile of MT in any kind of animal differs markedly from that of human beings, it is impossible to test the bio-mimetic DDS in animals directly. Therefore, the predicted pharmacokinetic profile based upon the in vitro release kinetics is an acceptable surrogate for the conventional animal test. In this research, a bio-mimetic DDS for replacement of MT was designed with in silico evaluation.
