Objective To introduce a new method for correcting square face deformity.Methods This operation consists of malar reduction (MR)and mandibular angle osteotomy (MAO),which could be done simutaneously or at different time.Results A total of 21 patients with square face deformity accepted MR and MAO in which 12 cases were done simutaneously and 9 cases at different time.After this procedure, the width of the mid face and the lower face reduced by 15.3?3.2mm and 14.2?2.5mm, respectively. A11 the cases achieved satisfactory results without complications.Conclusion This method can effectively correct square face deformity by reducing the width and protrusion of the mid face and the width of the lower face.

Objective To assess the reliability of the modified lateral transgluteal approach (modified Bauer approach) to the hip for the joint prosthesis.Method The Bauer approach modification was used for 43 hip endoprosthetic replacement.Results The modified approach provided good exposure of the hip for arthroplasty, and early chance of function recovery.Excellent and good rate was 96.97% according to Harris result evaluation. No evidence of weakness of abductors of the hip and damage to superior glouteal nerve was found at six months.Conclusion The modified Bauer approach is reliable and recommendable for primary hip replacement because of its good exposure of the hip and the least disturbance to the abductor function.

AimTo explore the kinetic change of the IgG,T-cell subsets and IL-2 level from the mice infected with T. Spiralis. Methods The level of specific IgG A band IL-2 was determined by ELISA,the percentage of CD4+and CD8+ T-cells were examined by flow cytometry on 7, 14,21,28,35 days after mice infected with T. spiralis respectively. ResultAfter infected with T. spiralis,the level of IgG in mice rised gradually,and reached its peak on the 35th day. The change of T-cell subsets showed that CD4+T cells decreased,which CD8+Tcells increased. The ration of CD4+/CD8+cells decreased,and which was the obvious on the 14thday. It did not recover to normal level even on the 35th day. The IL-2 of level reached the peak on the 7th day after infected,then IL-2 level decreased quickly and lower than that of normal mice on 35th day after infected. Conclusion When the acute phase of T. spiralis infection,the immune function of host was inhibited. The protective immunity of against T. spiralis infection was cellular immunity mainly ,in cooperation with humoral immunity.

Objective To study the immune response induced by the mice immunized with Trichinella spiralis(T.spiralis) adult worm soluble antigen(AWSAg). Methods T.spiralis AWSAg was prepared to immunize Kunming strain mice. Dynamic changes of IgG, IL 2 and T lymphocyte subsets from immunized mice were determined after challenge infection on d 7, d 14 , d 21 , d 28 and d 35 . Results On d 7 after challenge infection, IgG and CD4 + T cells of immunized group were markedly elevated and persisted higher over the observation period. In contrast, CD4 + T cells and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly decreased in unimmunized group resulted from immune suppression after infection. IL 2 levels reached the peak on d 7 and persisted in high level from d 7-d 21 in both immunized and unimmunized group after infection, then decreased gradually. Till 35 days after infection, IL 2 level was still higher than the normal mice. Conclusion Mice immunized with AWSAg of T. spiralis produced a potential cellular and humoral immune response.

Objective To explore the change and its clinical significance of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S-100? in serum and hippocampus tissue in rats with epilepsy induced by Kainic acid (KA).Methods 180 Wistar rats were randomly classified into control, KA and carbamazepine (CBZ) group, and the later two groups were further divided into 6 sub-groups (1 h, 4 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h ) according to epileptic attack at different time point. The NSE and S-100? concentrations in serum and homogenate of hippocampus were determined by radioimmunity assay (RIA) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively.Results The concentrations of NSE and S-100? were dynamic change during 72 h after epileptic attack in serum and hippocampus homogenate, and the changes were synchronous. The concentrations reached peak at 12 h. Both NSE and S-100? concentrations in KA and CBZ group were obviously higher than those in control group ( P

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is becoming a common practice in the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) of all age.Depression is considered to be a risk factor for the development of CHD and deteriorates the outcome after cardiac rehabilitation efforts.The aim of our study was to evaluate the presence of clinically relevant anxiety and depression in patients before and after PCI.Additionally we evaluated their relationship to age because of the increasing number of elderly patients undergoing PCI.Methods One hundred and twelve consecutive patients in three Sanatoria for Retired Cadres in Beijing who underwent PCI were asked to fill in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to measure depression and anxiety scores two days before and ten days after PCI.Differences between these pre- and post-surgical scores were then calculated as means for changes,and the amount of elevated scores was appraised,in order to investigate the relationship between age and anxiety and depression,respectively,Spearman correlations between age and the difference scores were calculated.In addition,ANOVA procedures with the factor age group and McNemar tests were calculated.Results 25.8% of the patients were clinically depressed before and 17.5% after PCI;34.0% of the patients were clinically anxious before and 24.7% after PCI.This overall change is not significant.We found a significant negative correlation between age and the difference between the two time points for anxiety (Spearman rho = -.218,P = 0.03),but not for depression (Spearman rho = -.128,P = 0.21).ANOVA and McNemar tests revealed that anxiety scores and the number of patients high in anxiety declined statistically meaningful only in the youngest patient group.Such a relationship could not be found for depression.Conclusions Our data show a relationship between age and anxiety.Younger patients are more anxious before PCI than older ones and show a decline in symptoms while elderly patients show hardly any change.(J Geriatr Cardiol 2008;5:203-206)

Objective To explore the prognostic significance in monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD) in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) by a simple method,and to detect cloned immunoglobulin H (IgH) and T cell receptor γ (TCRγ) gene rearrangements by using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and automated fragment analysis.Methods Bone marrow samples were collected from 86 newly diagnosed cases of childhood ALL at the Department of Pediatrics,the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University,from May of 2009 to August of 2013.IgH and TCRγ gene rearrangements were amplified by qualitative multiplex PCR.The clonality of PCR production was analyzed by GENEMAPPERID software.Only those carried monoclonal IgH/TCRγ on diagnosis were arranged to monitor MRD.Detectable monoclonal IgH/TCRγby the end of induction was defined as MRD positive.All patients were treated with GD2008 ALL protocol.Clinical data of all newly-diagnosed ALL patients in the corresponding period were reviewed.The final follow-up on May 31,2014.Survival rates and event free survival (EFS) curves were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier,and compared by using the log-rank test.Results The percent age of 94.2 (81/86 cases) patients was at least 1 marker positive.Subsequent MRD was monitored in 79 cases.The median follow-up time was 20 months (9-61 months).By the end of induction,20 cases were MRD positive and 59 cases were M RD negative,and the 3-year EFS were 56.4％ ± 14.7％ and 94.0％ ± 3.4％ (x2 =8.563,P =0.003),respectively.According to the traditional prognostic stratification criteria,MRD was detected 65 cases in the non-high risk group:23 cases in standard risk group and 42 cases in intermediate risk group,and the difference of 3-year EFS had no statistical significance (95.3％ ±4.7％ vs 76.6％ ±9.0％,x2 =0.934,P =0.334).While using MRD by the end of induction as a risk stratification criterion,there was a statistical significant difference compared with the 3-year EFS for MRD-negative (n =52) group and MRD-positive (n =13) group (93.1％ ± 3.8％ and 59.5％ ± 16.2％,x2 =7.128,P =0.008).Conclusions It is a simple but feasible method to monitor MRD in childhood ALL by using this qualitative multiplex PCR with automated fragment analysis for monoclonal IgH/TCRγ gene rearrangements.MRD by the end of induction can be used as a more accurate risk stratification criterion than the traditional one.It is worth of further research.

Objective To investigate the clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture on pulmonary infection after acute cerebral infarction.Methods Seventy patients with pulmonary infection after acute cerebral infarction were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 35 cases each. The control group received routine medication and the treatment group, acupuncture in addition. Pre-treatment and post-treatment National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores and clinical pulmonary infection scores (CPIS) were compared between the two groups. The correlation between the NIHSS score and the CPIS score was observed.Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the NIHSS score and the CPIS score in the two groups (P<0.05,P<0.01). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the NIHSS score and the CPIS score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). The correlation between the NIHSS score and the CPIS score was low in the treatment group after treatment (r=0.417,P<0.05).Conclusions Acupuncture plus medication is an effective way to treat pulmonary infection after acute cerebral infarction. It can improve the NIHSS score and the CPIS score in the patients.
