Objective To summarize the ruptured types and surgical treatment experience for rupture of aortic sinus aneurysm. Methods Nineteen cases with aneurysm of aortic sinus were retrospectively analyzed. There were 10 cases with ventricular septal defect,6 cases with aortic valvular incompetence,6cases with other diseases,2 cases complicated by infective endocarditis. All cases underwent operational treatment. Results There were 15 cases of right aneurysm of aortic sinus,including 12 cases among them ruptured into right ventricle,3 cases rupture was penetrated into right atrium.There were 3 cases of null aneurysm of aortic sinus,including 1 case among them ruptured into right ventricle,2 cases ruptured into right atrium. There was 1 case of left aneurysm of aortic sinus, which ruptured into left ventricle. No operative death occurred in all, 1 case with aortic regurgitation light to moderate,and all cases were recovered.Conclusions The right aneurysm of aortic sinus is the most common types,and always rupture into right ventricle. It is important that aneurysm of aortic sinus should be operated as early as possible in order to avoid losing the chance of operation, particular in the patients complicated by infective endocarditis.

Returning astronauts had experienced decreased immune function and increased vulnerability to infection during spaceflights.In immune system,cell adhesion molecules(CAMs) play an important role in regulating immune response in normal physiological conditions.Studying changes of CAMs under microgravity could not only understand the effects of microgravity and its molecular mechanism on immune function,but also help to study the relative mechanism about cell sensation of microgravity.In this review,we will introduce some downstream signal pathways,gene expression and the effects on cell functions under microgravity.All of them are regulated by cell adhesion molecules related with the immune system.

Gravity is the most fundamental biomechanical stimulus for posture change.Pressure of blood flow is one of primary indicators to evaluate cardiovascular performance.Up to now, the underlying mechanism of effects of posture change on cardiovascular system is still unclear.A 3D FSI mathematical model with posture change was presented.By applying the body force terms to the fluid equation and the vessel wall equation, the model could be used to study posture change and the effects of gravity on the pressure of blood flow quantitively.Under different inlet-outlet pressure difference(IODP) and different postures such as horizontal, upright and upside-down one, the effects of gravity were simulated.In horizontal position, the pressure distributions of blood flow transformed from 2D(two-dimensional) axis-symmetry without gravity to 3D asymmetry with gravity under small IODP.With IODP increasing, gravity had less effects on pressure distribution and extreme value.As IODP reached 10 665.6 Pa(80 mmHg) and 2 666.4 Pa(20 mmHg) respectively, this effect was observed to be constant.Similar results were obtained from 3D fluid-only model.In either upright or upside-down position, 2D axis-symmetric pressure distribution was observed with and without gravity, yet the position, in which extreme pressure appeared, was different in upright position from that in upside-down one.Finally, the effect intensity of gravity in upright or upside-down position was more than twice as much as that in horizontal one.The results indicate that introducing body force term into the fluid and solid equations to present a novel model, which was based on hemodynamics, will provide a new way to study posture change.Effects of gravity on pressure distribution and extreme value changed with different postures and IODP.If IODP is small, ignoring effect of gravity and postures so as to simplify the hemodynamics model to 2D axis-symmetric one, the conclusion should be drawn with caution.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the profitability of listed pharmaceutical enterprises in China,and to investigate the ba-sic profitability path. METHODS:With the help of DuPont financial analysis system,the financial data of the listed companies and other manufacturing industry during 2007-2013 were collected and compared in terms of the return on equity(ROE),profit margin (PM),asset turnover (ATO) and equity multiplier (EM),etc. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:During 2007-2013,average ROE and PM of listed pharmaceutical companies both were higher than those of other manufacturing industry(10.00% vs. 6.40%, 11.50% vs. 6.49%);while average ATO and EM were lower than other manufacturing industry (0.65 vs. 0.73,1.90 vs. 2.19), with statistical significance(P<0.05). It has advantages in core earnings and product profitability while disadvantage in asset turn-over and financial leverage for the listed pharmaceutical companies. Listed pharmaceutical companies’gross margin was higher (42.87% vs. 22.07%),but was offset by the higher ratio of expenses to sales(18.24% vs. 5.61%)and insufficient utilization ratio of circulating assets. To change this situation,listed pharmaceutical enterprises should focus on circulation cost saving and the im-provement of assets operation ability,especially enhancing the utilization ratio of current assets.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of arthroscopically assisted percutaneous screw fixation for treating patella fractures.Methods A total of 14 cases of patella fractures were treated by percutaneous reduction and internal fixation with screws under arthroscope from November 2001 to June 2004 in this hospital.The fracture was reduced by closed manipulation or percutaneous leverage force using the Kirschner wire.Then the patella was temporarily fixed by using a large-sized towel clamp or Kirschner wires.Under the guidance of knee arthroscopy or C-arm fluoroscopy,a micro-incision was made at the site of screw placement,the pilot holes were drilled at a proper depth,and the thread was configured.Two titanium screws or absorbable screws were inserted parallelly.Results Follow-up checkups for 6~18 months(mean,10 months) in 13 cases showed a satisfactory recovery of knee functions.According to the Xu Shaoding's standard,excellent effects were obtained in 11 cases(84.6%) and good effects,2 cases(15.4%).Conclusions Treatment of patellar fractures by percutaneous screw fixation under arthroscope offers advantages of minimal invasion,accurate reduction,reliable fixation,and excellent recovery of joint functions.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and utility of three different assays on early diagnosis and monitoring of neonatal congenital cytomegalovirus infection. Methods Ninety-eight neonates whose mother was CMV-IgM positive during pregnancy were examined on the 14th days after birth for CMV antigen in blood and PCR-CMV-DNA in the saliva. Three different methods were applied including CMV antigenemia assay, PCR for CMV-DNA and ELISA for serum CMV-IgM. Neonates were followed up for six months. Results (1) Forty-eight of the 98 neonates were diagnosed as congenital CMV infection including 7 symptomatic infection and 41 asymptomatic. None of the 98 subjects was CMV-IgM positive. Among the 7 symptomatic cases, the positive rates of CMV antigen and PCR-CMV-DNA were 100%(7), 71.4%(5), and 70.7%(29/41), 46.3%(19/41) in the asymptomatic group, respectively. The sensitivity of CMV antigenemia assay and PCR was 75.0% and 54.2%, respectively. The CMV antigenemia index of the symptomatic cases was significantly higher than that of asymptomatic ones [(16-52)/50 000 vs (3-31)/50 000 white blood cells, P
