Immobilization is a usual method to treat the injury of skeletal muscle system and plays an important role in rehabilitation of diseases. But immobilization also displays some negative effects, of all, muscle system is affected significantly. The mechanism is explored in the article from immobilization-induced skeletal muscle atrophy, the dropping of muscle power, reduction of vessels density in muscle and metabolic disturbance of muscle. The authors of the article advances that shortening the period of immobilization as possible and performing early rehabilitation are important to remove the negative influence of immobilization, but all treatments should obey the medical rules.

Objective By developing ultrasound picture archiving and communication system(PACS),to implement networking of ultrasound imaging equipment, central image storage and standardization of computer-aided diagnosis report.Methods Ultrasound image workstation was develop to acquire, display, manipulate and print ultrasound static and dynamic images using C++ computer language. Also, all ultrasound equipments in department formed the DICOM network . Central image server and ultrasound information system server we re connected together with all workstations by computer Ethernet network, thus, using switch, and connecting to hospital internet WWW server to distribut the image and report. Results Ultrasound DICOM digital images and high quality video image successfully acquired, displayed, processed and network communicated, seamless integrated with hospital information system, functions such as image central storage, computer-aided report and sharing printing were implemented. Conclusions Application of ultrasound image management system improves the administration and increases work efficiency in imaging diagnosis, promotes the reform of working pattern of doctors and provides more convenience for work, research and study. Image systems highly increase the level of patient care service. Standardization of medical reports computer-aided is superior to handwritten report.

Objective To summarize the experiences in treating 30 cases of skin soft tissue defects in head and neck by applying repeated expansion, and to explore an effective and satisfactory method of massive defect repair in head and neck. Methods Skin soft tissues were repeatedly expanded for 1 to 3 times after the first expansion. Massive skin defects in head and neck were repaired several times by useing repeated expansion of flap. The size of the skin defects ranged from 29cm?24cm to 10cm?8cm. The indications, complications and experiences in the treatment were discussed. Results A total of 30 cases were treated. Complication incidences of every expansive procedure were 27%, 15%, 14% and 0% respectively . After 6～12 months postoperative follow-up, the appearance and functional restoration was satisfactory. Conclusion Repeated expansion is an excellent method of repairing massive defects in head and neck.

Objective To observe the effects of estrogen on the behavior and the norepinephrine level in the habenular nucleus of depressive rats,and explore the mechanism of estrogen involved in the process of antidepression.Methods Thirty rats were chosen from forty male Wistar rats,which had the similar scores in open field test.The depression models of rats were established by chronic mild stress.Open field test and forced swimming test were performed to detect the behavioral changes between rats with ovary excision(OVX) and with estradiol-treated ovary excision(OV/ER).High performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) was used to observe the changes of norepinephrine level in habenular nucleus.Results After 21-day chronic mild stress,the open field test showed that the vertical motion and cross motion in OV/ER group were increased(P

Objective: To study the protective effect of compound extract of soybean, wolfberry and hawthorn on chemical liver injury in mice respectively. Methods:The mice were randomly divided into 5 groups:control(A), liver injury control(B)and 0.06(C)?0.20(D)?0.60(E) g/(kg?bw) compound extract group. The liver injury models were induced by CCl 4 and ethanol in mice respectively. After 4 weeks, for the former, the serum ALT and AST content were measured and the liver pathological change was observed. For the latter, the liver MDA, GSH, and TG content were measured and fat droplets staining in the ice pathological slice were observed . Results: 1.CCl 4 liver injury models:the content of serum ALT of group D and the AST of group D and E were decreased. Compared with normal group, the hepatic pathological changes of the compound extract group was mainly fatty and ballon degeneration, and that of the CCl 4 group was mainly hepatic cytoclasis. 2.Ethanol liver injury models: the content of liver MDA of group C, E and the TG of group C, D, E were all decreased, and the fatty degeneration scores of group C, D were lower, both compared with ethanol group. Conclusion: Compound extract of soybean, wolfberry and hawthorn has the protective effect on liver injuries induced by both CCl 4 and ethanol in mice.

Objective To investigate the coordinate repression of angiostatin(AS)and Fas gene on human colon carcinoma LOVO.Methods Plasmid pcDNA3-AS and pcDNA3-Fas were constructed,and AS,Fas,AS and Fas gene were transfected to human colon carcinoma LOVO cells by liposome method.The expressions of target protein were detected by Western blot.The effects of transfection of AS and Fas gene on the growth of human colon carcinoma cells were detected by MTr methods.AS,Fas,AS and Fas gene were transfected to the human colon carcinoma subcutaneously implanted in nude mice by direct injection into the tumor.The tumor sizes were detected after 14 days of the first gene transfection.Results The effect of gene transfeetion in LOVO cell after twelve hours,24 h,48 h and 72 h were observed and compared with control group,co-transfection of Fas and AS gene group and Fas group significantly inhibited the growth of human colon carcinoma LOVO line cells(P＜0.01).Fourteen days after plasmid transfection,the tumor volume in group Fas and group co-transfection were signifieandy smaller than that of control,AS and Fas group(P＜0.05).The tumor volume in AS group and Fas group were significantly smaller than that of control(P＜0.05).Conclusion Angiostatin and Fas gene have coordinate repression effect on human colon carcinoma in vivo.
