Objective To compare and investigate the criteria of impairment evaluation about eye injury.MethodsThe distill items, contents of these items and excursus of three criteria, Assessment and Gradation of Disability Caused by Work-related Injuries and Occupational Diseases (AGDCWIOD), Assessment for Body Impairment of the Injured in Road Traffic Accident (ABIIRTA) and Assessment and Gradation of Impairment Caused by Trauma (AGICT), commonly used in justice practice at present were compared.ResultsThere were essential differences among three criteria. AGDCWIOD was loose, ABIIRTA and AGICT were strict. AGDCWIOD and AGICT were religious, ABOIIRTA was oversight and non-religious. At the same time, there were differences between domestic and international criteria, and domestic criteria were behind the times.ConclusionThere are many problems in the criteria of impairment evaluation about eye injury; related items need recension and consummation.

Objective To explore the role of protein kinase C(PKC) to regulate the activation of nuclear factor-?B(NF-?B)in T lymphocyte in children with acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP).Methods Sterility peripheral blood was collected from acute ITP children(n=30)and healthy children(n=30).T lymphocytes were isolated and purified,and divided into 3 groups:control group,PMA group stimulated with PMA,PMA plus H-7 group stimulated with PMA and H-7.The expression of NF-?B and inhibitor protein-?B(I-?B)was detected by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot,respectively.Results The percentage of cells with active NF-?B was significantly higher and the expression level of I-?B was significantly lower in acute ITP PMA group than that in acute ITP control group and normal PMA group,respectively(all P

Objective To explore the relationship of delivery of parenteral fat emulsion and lipid peroxidation,and to observe the safety and effectiveness of parenteral nutrition(PN)in infants with very low birth weight(VLBWI).Methods Thirty infants with VLBWI were randomly divided into 3 groups:the preterm infants received pareneral nutrition containing amino acids and dextrose and soluvit,while intralipid provided separately,intralipid were light exposed(group A,n=10)or light protected(group B,n=10).In group C(n=10),soluvit and vitlipid were co-administered with intralipid and light protected.All the prematures received PN for 7 days and 10 cases of VLBWI not recei-ving PN were collected as control group.Anti-oxidation level,ascorbate,blood glucose,oxygen saturation,serum biochemistry index and body weight were determined before and after experiment.Results Seven days after PN,the MDA concentrations in the test groups all increased(⊿dA was the most,⊿dB was the next,⊿dC was the least).For superoxidedimutuse(SOD)reduction concentrations,⊿dA decreased sharply,then was ⊿dB,⊿dc decreased little,The blood Vit C increase in group B and C were more than group A.Significant changes of MDA,SOD and Vit C existed among the group B,C and A.In the 3 test groups,bilirubin,albumin,prealbumin concentrations were higher after the experiment,but there were no significant changes compared with control group.No significant changes in blood biochemistry,oxygen saturations were found before and after the observation in every group.Conclusions Multivitamin preparations protect fat emulsion against light-induced formation of lipid hydroperoxides,and administering multivitamins with fat emulsion via dark delivery tubing provide a practical way of preventing peroxidation of the lipid while limiting vitamin loss.Furthermore,it is relatively safe to apply fat emulsion intravenously with suitable dose and infusion rate for a few days to VLBWI from the second day of birth who require partial parenteral nutrition.

Objective To study the clinical result of the surgical treatment of upper cervical vertebra disease from high anterior cervical retropharyngeal approach.Methods Among 14 patients,there were 7 C_(2.3)disc hernia- rions combined with C_(2.3)dislocations,3 Hangman fractures,2 odontoid process fractures and 2 C_3 tumors.All patients underwent the high anterior cervical retropharyngeal approach.10 cases were given discectomy of C_(2.3)or focus clear- ance of C_3,iliac bone autograft or titanium cage filled and internal fixation with titanium plate.2 cases of odontoid process fractures were given anterior screw fixation.Results 14 cases got successful exposure.The decompression, reduction,lesion clearance and fusion with internal fixation were done in all patients.There were no important vascu- lar or nerve injuries.The surgical treatment could improve the spinal cord nerve function to a certain degree for the cases with compression of spinal cord.Conclusion Good exposure of upper cervical spine and effective surgical oper- ation could be achieved from high anterior cervical retropharyngeal approach,with minimal trauma and complication, and it was a favorable approach.

Expression of Ia-antigen on cells in lymphoid dendritic cells (LDCs)-enrt- ched fractions isolated from unstimulated rat spleens was observed with ABC immunoperoxidase and indirect immunofluorescent staining methods. The results appeared that there were three types of cells in stained preparaions: 1. Large cells with dendritic processes on their surfaces showed dark brown in colour with ABC staining method and emitted intense light-green fluorescence with immuno- fluorescent staining technic. 2. Large rounded or ovoid cells without obviously ramifications revealed colourless or light yellow-brown in colour with ABC sta- ining method and emitted no or weak yellow-green fluorescence with immuno- fluorescent staining technic. 3. Spherical lymphocytes of varying in size were similar to type 2 cells in immunoreactivity. The results of SEM and S-100 pro- tein staining confirmed that these three types of cells were LDCs, macrophages and lymphocytes in turn. It is indicated that LDCs consistently expressed Ia- antigen in large amount on their surfaces.

Objective To study the effect of small diameter graft (0.8 cm) splenocaval or mesocaval shunts combined with pericardial devascularization in the treatment of portal hypertensive variceal bleeding. Methods Splenocaval shunts were performed in 14 patients and mesocaval shunts were done in 24 patients, in combination with pericardial devascularization. Results The average decrease of free portal pressure was 6.6±1.2 cm. There was no significant changes in liver function postoperatively (P>0.05). Platelet counts and leukocyte counts were back to normal in splenocaval shunt patients postoperatively (P< 0.05). Operative mortality was 3%. Pyrexia developed in 4 patients, intractable ascites in 1 patient, chylons ascites in 1 patient, hepatic encephalopathy in 1 patient, intraabdominal infection in 1 patient and stress ulceration in 1 patient. All patients recovered after expectant treatment except one who died from severe intraabdominal infection. 35 patients received follow-up between 6 months and 3 years, total effective rate was 89%, 2 patients died from recurrent variceal bleeding, the shunt potency rate was 80% in 1 year and 75% in 3 years. Esophagogastric varices disappeared or alleviated as shown by endoscopy in 25 patients on 6 months postoperatively. Conclusions Small diameter portosystemic graft shunts combined with poricardial devascularization is an effective therapy for bleeding esophagogastric varices with a low rate of hepatic encephalopathy. Splenocaval shunt alleviates hypersplenism concurrently.

ObjectiveTo investigate the in vivo biological performance of 5 porous bioceramic scaffolds,which were bioglass,β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP),hydroxyapatite (HA),β-calcium silicate (β-CS) and α-CS,implanted in rabbit dorsal muscle.MethodsThe 5 porous bioceramic scaffolds were fabricated by adding pore-forming materials and sintering,and then were investigated by X-ray diffraction,porosity mensuration and biomechanics test.The scaffolds were implanted into rabbit dorsal muscle for 4,8,12,16 weeks,respectively.The samples were analyzed by X-ray,Micro-CT,histological analysis,scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS).The expression of bone morphogenetic protein(BMP-2) and BMP-7 in the muscle in touch with bioceramic scaffolds were also investigated by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).ResultsThe characteristic analysis of 5 scaffolds showed that the sequence of compressive strength was bioglass＞α-CS＞β-CS＞β-TCP＞HA,the sequence of elasticity modulus was α-CS＜β-TCP＜HA＜β-CS＜bioglass.It was confirmed by X-ray,Micro-CT and histological analysis that the sequence of biodegradability was β-CS＞α-CS＞β-TCP＞bioglass＞HA.The histological observation showed no new bone formation in five scaffolds.A Ca-P layer was formed in the surface of bioglass,α-CS and β-CS,which suggested their in vivo bioactivity.After 16 weeks,the expression of BMP-2 and BMP-7 was found only in β-CS.Conclusion The porous calcium silicate scaffold,which was promising for bone tissue engineering,was with good in vivo bioactivity and biodegradability,without in vivo osteoinductivity.

Objective To analyze the clinical speciality of invasive fungal infection(IFI)and provide doctors with clinical evidence for early anti-fungal therapy.Method One hundred and thirty-seven patients with 91 male and 46 female,who suffered from invasive fungal infection in ICU from January.1,2000 to June 30, 2006,were enrolled in this study.The age ranged from 17 to 82 years old.Out of 137 patients with IFI,the percentage of albicans candida,glabirate candida,tropicalis candida and parapsilosis candida were 47.4%, 26.3%,20.4% and 3.6%,reseparately.The sputum,urine,blood and other drainages were collected to perform the fungal examination after three days of admission every three days.Results Of 137 patients,42 of them were complicated with hemorrhage,53 patients with IFI developed candida anthema in the chest,abdomen and extremity.,49 patients suffering from IFI had organ dysfunction.The chest image revealed that infiltration caused by IFI especially occurred in apex of lung in some patients.The pathogen analysis displayed that albicans candidiasis easily developed candida anthema,glabirate candidiasis frequently resulted in organ dysfunction,and tropicalis candida led to hemorrhage in some organs.Conclusions The clinical specialty,of IFI caused by candida included hemorrhage,candida anthema,organ dysfunction,and infiltration in apex of lung.

BackgroundMonocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1)plays an important role in the tumor,inflammation,diabetic retinopathy and other neovascular disease,but the expression and the role of MCP-1 in the oxygen induced retinopathy(OIR) model have rarely been reported. Objective This study was to investigate the expression of MCP-1 in the retina development of newborn mouse and in mouse models with OIR.Methods C57BL/6J newborn mice were divided into two groups and 60 mice in each group.Mice in OIR group were exposed to 75％ oxygen for 5 days and then to room air.All mice in normal control group exposed to room air only.Ten mice in each group were randomly chosen and sacrificed at postnatal 5,7,12,14,17,21 days.The expression of MCP-1 in mouse retina was detected with the method of immunohistoehemistry and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results MCP-1 positive cells were seen in normal mouse retina.Up-regulation of MCP-1 positive cells was detected both in 12 days in normal control group and in 14 days in OIR group.MCP-1 mRNA was detected in mouse retina at 5 days,and a transient up-regulation of MCP-1 mRNA was observed in 12 days in normal control group.MCP-1 mRNA in OIR group significantly increased in 14 days in comparison with the normal control group( P =0.028,P =0.001 ). Conclusions Expression of MCP-1 is detectable in whole retinal development procession of mice.A transient up-regulation of MCP-1 expression is detected in the critical period of retinal vascular development in mice models with OIR,which is closely related to the retinal vascular development and progression of retinal new vessels.
