BACKGROUND:The effect of dimethyl sulfoxide cryoprotectants has been got a lot of verification in the low-temperature medical applications. But there is no literature addressing microdialysis detection of dimethyl sulfoxide cryoprotectants. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the microdialysis relative recovery of different concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide cryoprotectants used for limb reattachment. METHODS:In vitro linear probe relative recovery of different concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide (2%, 5%, 8%) was detected by retrodialysis gain and loss method. The correction in vivo experiment was done to estimate dimethyl sulfoxide relative recovery in rabbit amputated limbs. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The relative recoveries of different concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide (2%, 5%, 8%) were (49.49±3.56)%, (46.30±1.48)%, (52.66±2.54)%using retrodialysis gain method and (50.99±6.89)%, (43.86±1.35)%, (50.67±0.75)%using retrodialysis loss method. The average recoveries were (49.48±3.18)%and (48.51±4.03)%, respectively. There was no difference in the relative recovery of dimethyl sulfoxide detected using two methods. The change of dimethyl sulfoxide concentration could not influence the retrodialysis gain and loss method calibration results. The recovery was (15.45±4.8)%in vivo. These findings indicate that the microdialysis technology is suitable for dimethyl sulfoxide sampling in vivo that has no obvious influence on the relative recovery.

Objective To research the pathogen characteristics and influencing factors for peritonsillar peripheral space infections in acute tonsillitis patients,so as to take measure to reduce the peritonsillar peripheral space infections.Methods 898 acute tonsillitis patients who received treatment were chosen as study subjects.Bacteria analyzer was adopted to identify pathogens.Chi-square test was used to analyze the univariate factor,and logistic regression analysis was conducted to different factors.Results 228 patients were involved the complications of peritonsillar peripheral space infections(cellulitis in 52 cases or abscesses in 176 cases),and the infection rate was 25.4％.Bacterial cultivation performed in 177 patients and positive results were detected in 107.The top three infections bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (21.5％),Streptococcus viridians (19.6％) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (15.9％).Univariate factor analysis found that the history diabetes and peritonsillar peripheral space infections,age,acute phase of smoking and drinking,fatigue,nutritional status,class of antibiotic use,tonsillitis type,educational level and the long first diagnosis time were risk factors for peritonsillar peripheral space infections,and the differences were significant (x2 =39.851,8.818,89.041,87.266,30.417,21.499,13.472,64.548,12.223,62.871,70.749,all P ＜ 0.05).Logistic regression analysis found that acute phase of smoking and drinking,age,fatigue,tonsillitis type and the long first diagnosis time were independent risk factors for peritonsillar peripheral space infections patients with acute tonsillitis (OR =2.873,5.311,5.876,0.290,2.244,2.369,all P ＜ 0.05).Nutritional status and educational level had beneficial effect to peritonsillar infections event (OR =0.290,0.461,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Acute tonsillitis is easy to cause peritonsillar peripheral space infection,it should be paid much attention and strengthened prevention.The pathogens causing peritonsillar peripheral space infections in acute tonsillitis is still mainly Staphylococcus aureus.After the analysis of related factors,the certain measures should be taken to reduce the complications rate of peritonsillar peripheral space infections in acute tonsillitis.

Objective Tumor suppressor gene p53 can inhibit tumor cell growth, arrest cell cycle, and promote apoptosis.Howev-er, the effects of p53 on the pathogenesis of breast cancer have not been fully elucidated.The aim of this study was to explore the expression of p53 protein and the correlation with clinical pathologic features in breast cancer.Furthermore, the regulatory effects of 5-aza-2′-deoxycyti-dine on p53 in breast cancer cell line were also studied. Methods The expression of p53 protein in 80 cases of breast cancer and normal and adjacent tissue were determined by the immunohistochemical staining .The expressions of p53 mRNA and p53 protein in breast cancer cell line were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results The positive rate of p53 in breast cancer (41.25%) was higher than that in the normal and adjacent tissue (22.5%) (P<0.01).The expression of p53 was not significantly correlated with age, grade, stage and lymph node metastasis (P>0.05).The low expression of p53 both in mRNA and in protein levels were found in breast cancer cell line of MCF-7.The expres-sion of p53 increased after 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine administration . Conclusion p53 is highly expressed in breast cancer , which may play an im-portant role in the development and progression of breast cancer. 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine, up-regulating the p53 expression in breast cancer cell line, which provides the evidents for the development of therapeutic drugs for the patients with low expression of p53 breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the association between arterial stiffness of the common carotid artery(CCA)and insulin resistance in hemodialysis patients. Methods Arterial stiffness index β of CCA was evaluated by an ultrasonic phase-lock Echo-tracking system in 80stable non-diabetic hemodialysis patients.Insulin resistance was detected by the homeostasis model assessment method(HOMA-IR).Plasma hemoglobin,serum albumin,total cholesterol,high density lipoprotein,low density lipoprotein,triglyceride,lipoprotein(a),ApoA1,ApoB,CRP,calcium,phosphorus and creatinine were determined by standard methods. Results The stiffness index β was 11.41±4.13 in patients with previous cardiovascular disease(CVD)and 9.75±3.63 in those without CVD(P＜0.05).The stiffness index β was positively correlated with HOMA-IR(r=0.321,P＜0.01),as well as with age(r=0.376,P＜0.01),pulse pressure(r=0.267,P＜0.05),and duration of hemodialysis(r=0.219,P＜0.05).In stepwise multiple regression analysis,HOMA-IR(β=0.228,P＜0.05)and age(β=0.308,P＜0.01)were identified as significant independent variables for stiffness index β of CCA. Conclusions Insulin resistance is associated with aaefial stiffness in nondiabetic hemodialysis patients.The increased arterial stiffness may be the link between insulin resistance and cardiovascular morbidity as well as mortality in hemodialysis patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical features and therapeutic methods of ameloblastoma in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. METHODS The clinical data of 6 cases of ameloblastoma in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses diagnosed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively, and the relevant literature were reviewed. RESULTS All of the 6 cases received surgical treatment. The follow-up period was 15 months to 10 years after operation.3 patients recurred until the last follow up. Among them, 2 cases recurred once, 1 case recurred 2 times, no patient died of this tumor. CONCLUSION The incidence of ameloblastoma in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is low and the symptoms are nonspecific, the diagnosis mainly depends on pathology and immunohistochemistry. CT and MRI examinations of ameloblastoma are helpful in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the lesion. The main treatment is surgical resection of the lesion, the recurrence rate is higher. It has malignant tendency, and long-term follow-up is needed.
