Objective To investigate the effect of extraction of radix isatidis on the expression of transforming growth factor(TGF-β)in lung tissues of rats with radioactive lung injury.Methods 72 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups,blank control group(groupA,n=24),simple irradiation group(group B,n=24),irradiation with Chinese medicine group(group C,n=24).Rats in group A and group B were given distilled water 2 mL/200g by gavage for one week,the rats in group C were given extraction of radix isatidis 2 mL/200g(1.6 g/200 g)per day for one week,then the rats received irradiation,during irradiation,the rats' weight was measured once a week,to illuminate the end.After 10-time irradiation(the 30th day), and at 60 days and at 120 days after irradiation,the expression levels of TGF-βin lung tissue were detected;In addition each rat lung tissue morphology was observed.Results The expression levels of TGF-βprotein in group B reached peak at the 30 days after irradiation,which at different time points in group A and group C was significantly lower than that in group B(P<0.01).Rats of group A had no significant change in lung tissue.Rats of group B were observed inflammatory cells in interstitial pulmonary alveolar,alveolar structural damaging,interstitial pulmonary edema,interstitial hemorrhage and inflammatory pulmonary with alveolar cavity;Rats of group C pulmonary interstitial fewer inflammatory cells in alveolar damage were not obvious, with no-pulmonary interstitial edema, hemorrhage and no inflammatory symptoms, comparison between group B and C was not obvious. Conclusion Extraction of radix isatidis could reduce the expression levels of transforming growth factor(TGF-β)in lung tissues of rats with radioactive lung injury ,has better preventive effect on radioactive lung injury,could protect lungtissue from damaging,inhibite alveolar permeability,and present the effect of pulmonary edema.

The most effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke is intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular treatment. The proportion of patients with acute ischemic stroke receiving intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular treatment in China is low, and pre-hospital delay is an important reason. This article reviews the influencing factors and intervention measures of pre-hospital delay.

BACKGROUND: There are few reports about vascularization in the repairing of bone defect by heterogeneous deproteinized bone.OBJECTIVE: To verify the vascularization characteristics of heterogeneous deproteinized bone, tissue engineering scaffold material, in the repairing of large segmental bone defect.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized controlled animal experiment was performed between March 2005 and February 2007 at the Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China.MATERIALS: Twenty-four 10 to 12 months old goats, weighing (22.5±2.5)kg, were obtained from the Animal Center of the Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China. Segmental bone defects of 20 percent right tibia middle and inferior diaphysis of the 24 goats were made.METHODS: The 24 goats were divided into test group (n=16) and control group (n=8) randomly. Goats in test group were implanted with deproteinized bone+autologous MSCs+recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2), goats in control group were implanted with autograft bone, and all fixed with half-ring sulcated external fixator. Every 4 weeks, 3 goats were killed after ink perfusing through femoral artery. A thick slice of new bone tissue was made to observe the vascularization.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Vascularization of new bone observed through gross anatomy and imaging; vascular network of new bone observed through thick section, blood vessel amount and area measured by Image-proplus really image analysis software.RESULTS: No goat was infected or dead. Animal soft tissue was dyed black, blood vessels'size, ditribution and network structure were observed in subcutaneous tissue, fascia and periosteum. At 4 weeks postoperation implant margin became crude in the defect area; at 8 weeks postoperation transparent bone absorbing area of different size and irregular shape appeared; after 12 weeks postoperation high-dense calcification shadow appeared at the ends of defect bone and new bone connected with the ends completely. On 4 to 24 weeks postoperation, the blood vessel amount became large, alignment became regular, and their size and distribution became uniform. It showed no significant difference in blood vessel amount and area between 2 groups (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Composite of heterogeneous deproteinized bone+autologous MSCs+rhBMP-2 has the same vascularization degree. of autogeneous bone graft in repairing of large segmental tibia defect.

BACKGROUND:Half-ring sulcated external fixator is a bone external fixation device.Its structure is relatively simple,with multi-plane fixed,and small occupying space.So far,there are few experimental reports about construction of tibial defect model by it in large animals.OBJECTIVE:To validate the practicality and repeatability of half-ring sulcated external fixator in establishing tibial defect models in goats.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The randomized controlled observation was performed at the Animal Laboratory of the Third Military Medical University from March 2005 to February 2007.MATERIALS:Nine healthy adult(Animal Center of Third Military Medical University);Half-ring sulcated external fixator,made by Professor Li of the Third Military Medical University;Osseous pin,ψ2.5 mm,Shanghai Medicai Instruments Co.,Ltd.METHODS:After animals were anesthetized,two needles were threaded in the same plane of cancellous bone about 1.5-2.0 cm above the superior articular surface of the tibia,named group 1.The angle between the two needles was 40°.One needle was threaded at the place of 3.0 to 5.0 cm under the group 1 and parallel with optional needle of the group 1,named group 2.Needles of group 4 were threaded at the cancellous bone that was 2.0 cm from the joint surface of inferior extremity of the tibia.One needle was threaded at the place of 3.0 to 5.0 cm from group 4 and parallel with optional needle of the group 4.The included angle between these two needles of group 2 and group 3 was 60°.There were totally 6 needles.Tibia was fixed by half-ring sulcated external fixator.According to the length of the tibia from X-ray,tibia and periosteum were amputated by wire saw between the two needles in the middle and inferior segment of the tibia to make segmental bone and periosteal defects of 20 percent of tibia.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①Postoperative general state of the animals and effect of half-ring sulcated external fixator.②Self-repair of bone defects by X-ray and Lane-Sandhu scoring standards.RESULTS:Of the 9 selected goats,1 died of postoperative infection,and 1 developed pinhole infection and supplemented.All the others survived and were included in final analysis.The goats were awake within 2-6 hours after surgery and able to stand up to eat.The loosening nuts were screwed up.No external fixation failure or loosening was found.No skin was necrotic.Injured limb could touch the ground in 2 days,but could not bear load until 2 weeks.The goats could walk in three weeks with a slight limp,then moved freely without claudication in four weeks after the operation.At the 5th week after operation,the radiographs showed little periosteal reaction.At the 10th week after operation,sclerosis was found in the fracture ends,and medullary cavity started to close.Fifteen weeks after operation,the medullary cavity closed and periosteal reaction did not aggravate.Inaddition.Lane score was 0 at any time point.No bone formation was found in the histological examination at 5,10 and 15 weeks after operation,and Lane score was 0 at any time point.CONCLUSION:The goat model established in goat tibia with 20%defects by the half-ring sulcated external fixator shows no bone healing after 15 weeks by X-ray or histological exanimation,indicating this is a practical and repetitive method to establish animal models of large segmental defect for bone tissue engineering.

AIM: To investigate the safety and effect of EX-PRESS glaucoma drainage device on open-angle glaucoma.
METHODS: A retrospective review of 40 patients ( 47 eyes ) whose eyes were diagnosed as open angle glaucoma through the best - corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure ( IOP ) , gonioscope, examination of the ocular fundus, and visual fields et al. Fourty patients 6-73y old ( mean 39. 90±16. 50y old) with the BCVA from 0. 01 to 0. 6 and the IOP from 18mmHg to 65mmHg were treated with EX-PRESS glaucoma drainage device after achieving not well IOP over three drugs. Follow - up of these patients 1d, 3d and 1wk after treatment, IOP, slit lamp examination were retrospectively observed. The changes of the BCVA, IOP were used to evaluate the safety and effect before and after treatmeat.
RESULTS: The mean BCVA was 0. 26 ± 0. 29 pre -operatively, while it was 0. 24±0. 22 after treatment one week. The mean BCVA decreased slightly, but there was no statistic difference between pre-treatment and post-treatment (t=1. 56,P=0. 13). The mean IOP was (36. 62 ±14.01)mmHg pre-operatively, (10.04±5.77)mmHg after treatment one day , ( 9. 59±4. 93 ) mmHg after treatment three days, (9. 47±3. 06)mmHg after treatment one week. The IOP was decreased significantly in post-treatment after one day, three days, one week compared with pre-treatment (F=157. 20, P<0. 05). Except for 5 eyes of the IOP below 5mmHg, there was no ocular or systemic adverse events observed in all patients.
CONCLUSION:EX-PRESS glaucoma drainage device is an effective and safe treatment for the patients with open-angle glaucoma. The risk and complication are low intraoperatively and postoperatively.

BACKGROUND:In the process of designing knee joint prosthesis and operating total knee arthroplasty for the Chinese people, we should not only take into account the proximal tibial anatomical characteristics and the difference of geometry, but also should pay attention to the differences between different races. OBJECTIVE:To compare the anatomical morphological differences between Mongolian and Han nationality through measuring the CT tomography scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction measurement of tibia proximal part of Han and Mongolian nationality, so as to provide the data references for prosthesis selection used for total knee arthroplasty. METHODS:Total y 60 patients who received the treatment at the Department of Joint Surgery were col ected, and divided into Han nationality and Mongolian nationality groups (n=30/group, 15 males and 15 females in each group). The age was (36.00+7.22) years old. 16-row helical CT scan (American GE Lightspeed 16) was used for spiral scanning, slice thickness 0.625 mm. Scanning images were exported in DICOM format and saved. Digital three-dimensional reconstruction measurement was conducted using Mimics 15.0 three-dimensional reconstruction software. The tibial plateau width, anteroposterior diameter of the medial tibial plateau and lateral anteroposterior diameter were measured respectively to observe whether there were any differences among sex, sides and nationality. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were no significant differences in the above indicators between left and right sides (P>0.05). There were significant differences in tibial plateau width, anteroposterior diameter of the medial tibial plateau and lateral anteroposterior diameter between males and females, and Han and Mongolian nationality groups (P<0.05). Specific performed in:(1) There was significant difference in the morphological measurement parameters of proximal tibia between sex for Han and Mongolian nationality, and the mean value of male was larger compared with that of female. (2) There was certain significant difference in the part of the parameter indicators between Han and Mongolian nationality groups. These results suggest that the prosthesis should be chose and placed correctly according to the differences of morphological characteristics, gender, nationality, region of the Chinese people. (3) Digital three-dimensional reconstruction technology and individualized design can choose suitable prosthesis for different people, so as to ensure a good repair effect in patients after total knee replacement.

OBJECTIVETo testify the feasibility of management through contract system between general practitioners and patients.

METHODSIn Sichuan province contract was made between general practitioners and hypertension patients in "community health service center-family of hypertension patients" in Yulin community in Chengdu city. After half a year, we analysed the effects of community-based intervention on hypertension.

RESULTSGeneral means of both SBP and DBP remarkably decreased (P < 0.05) with SBP remarkably decreased by 8.94 mm Hg while DBP decreased by 3.61 mm Hg. After interfered by the model, people whose blood pressure were above normal had a remarkable decrease than before by 14.06 mm Hg (P < 0.05). Rates of hypertension being under control increased from 38.39% to 64.29% (P < 0.001). Rates of awareness on fatness and heredity in hypertensive patients were increasing from 58.06% to 74.19% (P < 0.001). Rate of awareness on risk factors for hypertension was also higher than that of 6 months back (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe model of management by signing contract between general practitioners and patients in community, proved to be a successful way in the treatment to control high blood pressure.
