Simultaneously, it is used for synthesis of a series of derivative medicines. The specific application of mannitol as raw materials and excipient was reviewed in detail. And the synthetic methods, properties and medical application of every derivative medicine were introduced.

Objective To establish an objective animal experimental model for the experimental study of clinical bone defect,detect the BMP-2 activity in bone defect area,and observe the early healing situation of rabbit radial fracture.Methods A total of 72 New Zealand rabbits [weight/ each:(2.8 ±0.2)kg] were randomly divided into four experimental groups A,B,C,and D (18/each) with corresponding 0.5 cm,1.5 cm,2.0 cm,and 3.0 cm bone defect models abolished,respectively,in the middle of the rabbit left radius.By the time of modeling,all the bone segments were retained and a small amount of bone adjacent tissues were taken as E specimens of control group.Modeling time was recorded as 0 week,and six animals of each group were killed in 1 W,3 W,4 W later.Then the bone defect surrounding tissues were taken to check BMP-2 content by Western-blot detection,and the bone-healing situation was observed at different time.Results BMP-2 composition showed a significant increase in secretory volume of each group's bone defect area tissues after modeling one week,compared with E specimens of control group (P ＜ 0.05).BMP-2 composition secretion capacity even reached its peak in the third week four groups (A,B,C,D)increased by 556.1％,385.9％,272.2％,171.2％ respectively.and BMP-2 content reduced apparently in the fourth week than before(P ＜ 0.05).At the same time,BMP-2 content decreased with the addition of bone defect length(P ＜ 0.05).Also a correlation was shown between bone healing and time with the bone defect length.Conclusions A comparable rabbit radial bone defect model was successfully established.These objective animal models,which are closer to clinical reality,provide the theoretical basis of animal experiments to explore the mechanism of human fracture healing.

Thyroid hormones play major roles in the regulation of a wide range of metabolie and physiologic processes.Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone( TSH ) concentration,a sensitive barometer of thyroid function,shows significant individual difference in which genetic variation is a major factor.After using traditional genetic linkage studies and candidate gene association studies to explore the suseeptibility genes of serum TSH,many progresses have been made and new susceptibility genes have been identified by genome-wide association study (GWAS).In this review,we focus on the susceptibility genes of serum TSH levels and also the future prospect that may be obtained from these studies.

Objective: To report a newly designed method for treating supracondylar fracture of the humerus,and to inquire into the problems of cubitus varus deformity and joint stiff.Methods:Based on a review of anatomy,a new method which called tension band with sphenoid-shaped osteotomy through posterior approach was designed and applied for 46 cases of patients in clinic.The clinical effect was compared with effect of crossing Kirchner's wire.Results:The tension band with sphenoid-shaped osteotomy was a better method and can abide by anatomical and biomechanical principles.After follow-up for 12-36 months,curative effect was estimated as follow:30 cases were excellent,14 cases good and 2 cases poor according to Home's evaluation.Conclusions:It is a better methods in treating supracondylar fracture of the humerus following advantages including simple,reliable fixation and early mobilization etc.

The emerging technologies change rapidly in the medical field, refresh the medical ethical scenari-os, brought some medical ethical blind spot.Therefore, building the platform of academic research, making use of the new media, MOOC and“flipped classroom”, inheriting the native“The Spirits of A Great Physician” in tradi-tional Chinese medicine and western medicine, life ethics education and sublation of new exploration, the ideolog-ical and moral education for medical students is expected to be improved in China.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of emergency transcatheter arterial embolization in the management of intractable postpartum hemorrhage. Methods Twenty-five patients with intractable postpartum hemorrhage were undertaken superselective catheterization into the bilateral internal iliac arteries or uterial arteries to find the causes and sites of bleeding through DSA and then followed by arterial embolization with gelfoam particles. Result All of the 25 patients with obstetrical bleeding were successfully controlled by TAE, the procedure lasted for 25 - 60 min, (mean 42.5 ? 4.6 min); with both catheterization and bleeding halt successful rates of 100%. Comparison of hemoglobin and heartbeat before and after the procedure showed significance(t = 29.49, P

Objective To investigate the surgical indicatin and outcome of recurrent gastric carcinoma.Methods Review the clinical data of 56 cases with recurrent gastric carcinoma underwent reoperation from 1990 to 2000.The operative indication, surgical method and complications were analized.Results In 25 cases the recurrent tumor were resected (44.6%),in 10 cases adjacent organs were resected.NO operative motality was observed.Conclusions More aggressive radical resection of the gastric cancer is the key to prevent recurrence.Laparotomy should be performed without delay once there is a suspicion of recurrence.

Objective To establish the Flow-FISH method for simultaneous detection of telornere length and cell differentiation antigen. Methods HL60, Raji, Molt4 cells were cultivated. Each step and the conditions of the Flow-FISH procedure were optimized, standardized and validated, then 14 acute leukemia patients were observed for the changes of telomere length combined with differentiation antigen after complete remission by the method. Results Cells were stained with Alexa Fluor(R) 647-labeled antibody. Anti-gen-anfibedy complexes were covalenfly cross-linked onto the cell membrane before telomere staining. Cells were hybridized with telomere-specific fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes followed by being counterstained with propidium iodide(PI). Multicolor Flow-FISH was performed to analyze telomere length and differentiation antigen simultaneously. The patients showed longer telomere and lower antigen expression after complete remission. Conclusion The Flow-FISH method for simultaneous detection of telomere length and differentiation antigen was successfully established which might prove to be a promising means for leukemia research especially in those without special molecular markers.

Objective To study the method,effect and safety of percutaneous targeted argon-helium (cryoablation) for liver cancer. Methods Retrospective analysis of the clinical data was made on the 52 (patients) with primary liver cancer who were treated with argon-helium cryoablation. Results Following the treatment of the 52 (patients), there were no operative mortality or complications, such as rupture of liver,bleeding,biliary fistula,frostbite of skin,and metastatic implantalion or infection at the injection site.(Postoperatively), 5 patients developed pneumothorax and reactive pleural effusion, and 43 patients had a low-grade fever. The 1- and 2-year survival rates were 63.5 %( 33/52) and 36.5 %( 19/52)(respectively).After treatment, the AFP levels were significantly lower. Conclusions CT guided percutaneous targeted argon-helium cryoablation is a reasonable, safe, effcctive and mimimally invasive new therapeutic method for the treatment of liver cancer.

Objective To explore the correlation of the gene polymorphism of the two single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)rs1443434andrs925489onforkheadboxEl(FOXE1)withthehighnormalthyroidstimulating hormone ( TSH) level in Chinese Han population. Methods 1 400 subjects with normal serum TSH and thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) levels were included. According to TSH or TPOAb levels, the subjects were divided into high normal TSH group(H-TSH group,n=195) and normal TSH control group(TSH control group,n=1 205) or high normal TPOAb group ( H-TPOAb group, n=711 ) and low normal TPOAb group ( L-TPOAb group, n=689 ) , respectively. The genotypes on the two SNPs of all the subjects were performed by whole-genome genotyping chips. Results There were significant differences in rs925489 genotypic distributions and allele frequencies between H-TSH group and TSH control group(both P<0. 05). The genotype TT and allele T in H-TSH group were significantly higher than those in TSH control group(89. 75% vs 83. 15%, 94. 62% vs 91. 29%). The normal TSH levels were positively associated with rs925489 genotypic distributions after adjustment for sex, age, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol(P<0. 01). There were no significant differences in rs1443434 genotypic distributions and allele frequencies between two TSH groups or two TPOAb groups. Conclusion FOXE1 rs925489 gene polymorphism may be correlated with the high normal TSH level in Chinese Han population.
