Fulminant myocarditis (FM)is a clinical accidant and emergency,and often endenger the lives of patients.Myocardium damage by virus infection and immune-mediated cellular damage are important for the development of FM.This paper discussed the role of the immune system in the FM,involving cellular immunity,humoral immunity and cytokine.Also this paper discussed the treatment of FM about the immunol-oregulation and immunosuppression.

AIM: To observe the efficacy of high concentrations of sodium hyaluronate ( 3g/L SH ) for moderate to severe dry eye.
METHODS: Forty moderate to severe dry eye patients were included in the study according to the diagnosis criteria and randomized into two groups. The patients of the trial group received topical administration of high concentration sodium hyaluronate (3g/L), and those of the control group received sodium hyaluronate ( 1g/L ) plus recombinant human epidermal growth factor. The dry eye symptom scores, ocular surface disease index ( OSDI) scores, tear film break-up time ( BUT) , SchirmerⅠ test and corneal fluorescein staining score were evaluated. All the indexes were compared between the two groups 2wk before and after treatment.
RESULTS: There were no significant differences of the indicators between the two groups before treatment. After 2wk treatment, the differences were statistically significant compared to former except for the SchirmerⅠtest. Compared with the control group, the symptom scores and the OSDI scores were lowered. No significant differences were found in the other indicators between these two groups.
CONCLUSION: Topical usage of highconcentrations of sodium hyaluronate (3g/L) is beneficial for remitting the ocular symptoms in moderate to severe dry eyes, and also improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective: To study the pharmacokinetics and factors influencing consecutive internal iliac arterial and intravenous infusion of 5-fluorouracil 5-FU and 4′ -O-tetrahydropyranyladriamycin (THP) and provide the experimental evidence to optimize intra-artery chemotherapy for pelvic malignant tumor. Methods:Mature female New Zealand rabbits were divided randomly into two groups. One group was consecutively infused by 5-FU and THP via internal iliac artery for 6 h. The other group was consecutively infused by 5-FU and THP via ear vein. The blood samples and the uterus tissue specimens were collected at various time points during the infusion period. At the end of infusion, the rabbits were sacrificed via intravenous air embolism and the heart, lung, and the node-rich pelvic adipose tissues were collected. The drug concentrations in plasma and tissue specimens were determined by high performance liquid chromatography methods. Results: The peak plasma concentration and AUC (area under curve) of intra-arterial infusion of 5-FU were a little lower than those via intravenous infusion. The peak concentration of intra-arterial infusion of 5-FU were 2-3 fold increased in uterus tissues and 5-fold increased in pelvic lymph node and adjacent tissues compared with those via intravenous infusion. The peak plasma concentration and AUC of intra-arterial infusion of THP were lower than those via intravenous infusion. The peak concentration and AUC of intra-arterial infusion of THP were not significantly different in uterus tissues between the two infusion forms. The peak concentration of THP was decreased by 50% in heart and lung tissues but increased to 5-fold in pelvic peripheral lymph node tissues by intra-arterial infusion than those by intravenous infusion. The serum to tissue vein distribution ratio of THP was several hundred times. Conclusions: Consecutive intra-arterial infusion of 5-FU and THP had some advantages compared with continuous intravenous infusion at different degrees. These advantages depended on the drugs' pharmacological properties.

BACKGROUND: The implanted cartilage calls can synthesize cartilage matrix as cartilage in cartilage tissue enginsedng, and the density of implanted cells is the key point.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of cell seeding concentration on the chondrogenic differentiation of the adipose dadved sromal cells (ADSCs).DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The in vitro cellular-scaffold observation was performed at the cytobiological laboratory of China Medical University from November 2007 to July 2008.MATERIALS: Six male SD rata with clean grade were supplied by the Experimental Animal Center of China Medical University.METHODS: Totally 5 g/L type ; collagen solution and 20 g/L chitosan was mixed in a mould with volume ratio of 7:3, after lyophillization, it was cut into pieces with 5 mm ～ 5 mm x 2 mm, followed by crosslinking with ethanol contained of 2% chondroitic acid at room temperature. After washing with double distilled water and freeze drying, the chitosan-collagen-chondroitin sulfate copolymar matrices scaffolds were harvested. ADSCs isolated from rat inguinal fat pads were digested with collagenase and trypsase. The prepared scaffolds were randomly divided into 3 groups, and the third passage cells with density of 2×10 9/L,2×10 109/L, and 2×10 11/L were seeded into chitosan-coflagen-chondroitin sulfate scaffolds, and cultured in chondrogenic medium for 3 weeks.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The expression of cartilage specificity gene was detected by hematoxylin-eosin staining, type Ⅱ collagen immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR.RESULTS: Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that after 3 weeks of culture, the cell proliferated and differentiated well, especially in 2x101～/L group, more extrocelluer matrices were produced and cartilage lacuna-structure could be seen. The type Ⅱ collagen was positive expressed in each group, which showed a gradually increasing tendency with the cell seeding concentration increasing. RT-PCR showed that the expression of proteoglycen and type Ⅱ collagen mRNA were slowly increased. However the expression of Ⅹ collagen mRNA was decreased with increasing cell seeding concentration.CONCLUSION: The chitosan-collagen-chondroitin sulfate copolymer matrices can provide an appropdate environment for the generation of cartilage-like tissues and high call seeding concentration of 2×1010/L facilitate ADSCs to differentiate into cartilage.

Objective:To assess the quality of life (QOL) and cognition function in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSAHS), and to study the relationship between the QOL and severity of OSAHS, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS),cognition disorders. Methods:Sixty-two patients with OSAHS and 32 non-OSAHS patients (control group) which all diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG) were chosen from The First Hospital of Lanzhou University, and they were assessed by QOL using the Short-Form 36 Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36), by EDS using the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), and for cognition disorders by mini-mental state examination (MMSE).The associations between the total score on the SF-36 and the baseline characteristics, PSG parameters, such as ESS score, and MMSE score were examined by simple regression analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis.Results:The scores of SF-36 and MMSE in OSAHS group were significantly lower than the control group (63.9?14.7/78.8?4.5, 24.6?2.0/27.1?1.3,P

3:00~4:00 time slot.The older the patients are,the more severe the OSAHS is,the more significant this correlation is.

Objective The diabetic foot ulcer has high incidence rate,many complications,and is difficult to heal.Methods We summary the treatment expericncc of 156 cases of diabetic foot wounds.On the basis of comprehensive standard medical treatment,according to the wound characteristics,blood supply,and the degree of tissue necrosis,we performed staging gnawing-away debridement for all tbe wounds,combining with pressure suction,new dressing,skin grafts and skin flaps.Results Of all the 156 cases,2 cases died,4 cases were lost to follow-up,the remaining 150 cases healed,with an average time of 56 days.Conclusions The treatment of diabetic foot ulcer must take into account both the systemic therapy and local processing,the wound should be debrided with different stage and progressively.When the wound microenvironment is gradually improved,it can be covered appropriately with skin grafts.The skin flap should be chosen cautiously.
