Objective:To investigatethe transdermal delivery characteristics of methylphenidate hydrochloride (MPH) in vitro. Methods: Characteristics of MPH crossing nude rats skin were studied with Franz diffusion cells. A high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was established to determine the concentration of MPH crossed the skin. The permeability coefficient (P), steady state flux (J) and lag time(LT) for MPH through the skin of nude rats treated with various enhancers were compared with those of control. Results: The permeability coefficient increased with the increase of MPH concentration. The penetration of MPH through nude rats skin was obviously enhanced by 8%Azone and 5%propylene glycol (P

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have great impact on the carcinogenesis and progression of gastric cancer (GC).Recent studies show that the over-expression of H19,HOTAIR,TINCR and LINC00152 and the down-expression of MEG3,GAS5,LET and AA174084 are closely related to the occurrence,invasion,metastasis and prognosis of GC.lncRNAs provide an opportunity to develop new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of GC.

Objective To find a biomechanical evaluation methods of manual performance fatigue,for providing the feasible methods for the hand fatigue of spacesuit glove.Method Twelve females and forteen males in two groups served as the subjects and participated in the experiments of changeless force fatigue,including gripping,pinching and screwing,and took part in the nondimensional force fatigue.Result Manual performance fatigue could be fully evaluated based on gripping,pinching and screwing.The nondimensional force fatigue had widely applied ranges and well veracity.The combination of nondimensional subjective and objective evaluations was the optimal fatigue evaluation method.Conclusion The results can provide the feasible methods for performance evaluation of spacesuit glove system.

Objective To explore the in vitro isolation of ?2m-/Thy-1+ bone marrow-derived liver stem cells(BDLSCs) which bear double features of stem and liver cells from bone marrow stem cells(BMSCs)as so to provide suitable donor cells for the treatment of liver diseases by cellular transplant. Methods ?2m-/Thy-1+ BDLSCs were isolated by magnetic bead cell sorting(MACS) method from cholestatic rats in vitro,and cell purity was detected using flow cytometry.Liver associated phenotype markers were characterized by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining. Results BDLSCs isolated by MACS were purified and viable,and possessed hepatocyte-like features at gene and protein levels. Conclusion ?2m-/Thy-1+ BDLSCs are special subsets of BMSCs which may have promising potentials in the stem cell-based treatment of liver diseases.

Objective To explore the value of computed tomography (CT)and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)in the diagno-sis and delineation of the extent of malignant external otitis (MEO).Methods Clinical manifestations and imaging features of 10 pa-tients with definite diagnosis of MEO were collected and analyzed.Plain and contrast-enhanced CT of the ear were performed on all 10 patients,of which 6 patients also received MRI scans.Results Abnormal soft tissue opacity within the external auditory canal and involvement of surrounding structures were found in all 10 patients.Bone erosion of the external auditory canal was showed in 7 pa-tients.Other CT findings included bone erosion of skull base and intracranial involvement.Abnormal soft tissue of the external audi-tory canal,effusion in the mastoid cavity and medullary abnormalities were showed very well on MR images in 6 patients while the cortical bone erosion was not well showed.Conclusion Imaging features of the lesions in the external auditory canal,bone erosion of skull base and intracranial involvement play crucial roles in the diagnosis and delineation of the extent of the lesion in patients with MEO.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of JWA in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Methods Bone marrow mononuclear cell specimens were taken from 22 AML patients in newly diagnosis stage and complete remission stage respectively , and the JWA expression were detected at RNA and protein level. Results (1) JWA was expressed in all the samples at RNA and protein level. (2) At protein level, JWA expression was higher in the cells from newly diagnosed AML patients than in those from patients in complete remission stage (P < 0.05). (3)The complete remission rate of patients with higher expression level of JWA (87.5%) was similar to those with lower expression (83.3%). The complete remission rate of patients with higher expression level of JWA after the first course (31.25%) was lower than those with lower expression (66.7%). The early recurrence rate of patients with higher expression level of JWA (42.86%) was higher than those with lower expression (20%). Conclusion JWA may play an important role in the development and progression of AML. Increased expression of JWA may be one of the causes of refractory and relapsed AML.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical value of infrahyoid myocutaneous flap in the reconstruction of mouth floor tissue defects. MethodsInfrahyoid myocutaneous flap was made including stenohyoid,thyrohyoid,omohyoid and the affiliated skin based on the axis of superior thyroid artery,vein and ansa cervicalis. The clinical data of 11 patients with reconstruction of mouth floor tissue defects using infrahyoid myocutaneous flap (maximum area was 8 cm × 3 cm) from Match 1993 to June 2009 were retrospectively reviewed.ResultsSeven infrahyoid myocutaneous flaps which reserved platysma branch of superior thyroid artery were all alive, while 2 patients presented epidermal necrosis of 4 un-protected patients. The follow-up period was range from 24 months to 195 months, one patient received salvage surgery for local regional lymphatic recurrence in level Ⅰ,which survived without diseases until now.The rest cases had turned out a success.No dysphagia,dysphonia,and tongue extension difficulty was reported in any patient.ConclusionInfrahyoid myocutaneous flap is one of the valuable donor sites for the reconstruction of mouth floor tissue defects after radical oncologic operations,especially for those with early stage carcinoma of the mouth floor.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of interventional management before surgical therapy for massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and to compare the clinical efficacy and re-bleeding rate between hypophysin infusion group and embolization group. Methods During the period of June 1998-Apr.2009, 31 patients with massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage in our institution underwent preoperative interventional managements before they received surgical treatment. According to DSA manifestations, the patients underwent trunsarterial hypophysin infusion or transcatheter embolization as interventional management. The clinical efficacy of interventional procedures and its influence on the surgery were evaluated, and the hemostasis rate and re-bleeding rate were compared the two kind of intervention managements. The numeration data were analyzed with Fisher's exact test, and the SPSS 11.0 was used as statistical software. Results The interventional managements were successfully performed in all the 31patients, with a total hemostasis rate of 83.9% (26/31) and a total re-bleeding rate 30.7% (8/26). The hemostasis rate and re-bleeding rate of hypephysin infusion group and embolization group were 69.2% (9/13), 94.4% (17/18) and 44.4% (4/9), 23.7% (4/17), respectively. All the 31 patients received surgery after interventional therapy, of which selective operation was carried out in 20. Neither surgery-related or intervention-related serious complications nor death occurred. Conclusion Preoperative interventional managements can provide patients with massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage with valuable chance of a successful surgery, enable the physician to take a selective operation to replace an emergency one, as a result, the surgical risk will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is worth popularizing the preoperative interventional managements in clinical practice.
