The present preliminary study was to observe the feasibility of the use of polylactic acid gel (PLA-G) in modified radical mastectomy and the ability of the PLA-G in the prevention of flap adhesion after operation. Sixty-eight patients were diagnosed with breast cancer, and received modified radical mastectomy from Jan. 2004 to Dec. 2006. The patients were divided randomly into a treatment group and a control group (with 34 cases each). The PLA-G was used under the surface of the auxiliary operative wound in the treatment group, and nothing was used in the control group. The wound healing, the wound complication, the amount of drainage solution, the indwelling time of the drainage tube and the auxiliary skin adhesion were evaluated after operation in both groups. There were no statistical difference on wound healing between the first intension (29:27) and the second intention (5:7), and the wound dehiscence after taking the stitches out (0:0) between the two intensions, the hematoma (0:1) and the effusion of the wound (5:6), and the flap necrosis (1:2) between two groups. There were also no statistical difference on the amount of drainage solution per day (6 +/- 3) and indwelling time of the drainage tube (6 +/- 4) after operation between the two groups (P > 0.5). After the operation, the case load with no flap adhesion in the treatment group was significant higher compared with the control group (22:8). The case load with complete acquired skin flap adhesion in the treatment group was visibly lower than in the control group (3:19), which proved that there was a significant statistical difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). This study suggested that the using of PLA-G in the breast cancer modified radical mastectomy could prevent skin flap adhesion without any harmful effects in the wound healing.

Objective To analyze effects of maternal passive smoking at different exposure level in different period of pregnancy on fetal birth weight and to reveal the influence of different measurement methods on the effects of maternal passive smoking.Methods Meta analysis was applied.NCBI,OVIDC-MEDLINE,CNKI,VIP and CBM were searched,all searched studies were retrieved,and their references were checked for other relevant publications,with the language limited to Chinese and English.The search was finished by April 2008.Pooled mean differences with 95% confidence interval were estimated using data extracted from papers.Results A total of 38 papers were searched,and 19 of them were prospective studies and 19 were retrospective studies,respectively.Maternal passive smoking was associated with a reduction of 67.62 g(95% CI:-90.15～-45.09)in mean birth-weight,and the adjusted reduction was 44.92 g(95% CI:-67.07～-22.77).Based on biochemical markers measurement,the pooled effect size was-73.87 g(95% CI:-113.41～-34.34),based on self-report measurement,the pooled effect size was-62.93 g(95% CI:-84.49～-41.37).The lowest and highest level exposure's effect sizes were-44.61 g(95% CI:-78.36～-10.87)and-116.37 g(95% CI:-180.74～-52.01),respectively.Maternal passive smoking in early pregnancy can reduce the birth-weight by 2.70 g(95% CI:-37.74～32.33),however,it was not statistically significant.Conclusions Maternal passive smoking during pregnancy could reduce infant birth-weight.The middle or late period of pregnancy might be the sensitive period for passive smoking's effect.There is no clear threshold value for passive smoking causing low birth weight.

Objective To explore the lesion distribution pattern of poststroke pathological laughing or crying (PSPLC) by using MRI,and to discuss its pathogenesis. Methods All 24 cases selected from stroke patients who were treated in the department of neurology from May 2012 to December 2015 and had complete follow?up information after their discharge through 6 months were screened for pathological laughing and crying( PLC) . MRI characteristics of cases were analyzed retrospectively to identify lesion distribution. 28 cases with acute isolated pontine infarction who did not demonstrate PLC were enrolled as a comparison group. Lesion pattern difference between 14 cases of the pontine infarction with PLC and 28 cases of acute i?solated pontine infarction without PLC was compared. Results In these 24 cases,the highest occurrence rate of PLC was 41.67% in the second month. 15 cases had forced crying (62.5%),3 cases had forced laughing (12.5%),6 cases had pathological laughing or crying (25%). MRI studies showed lesion location in the left side were 3 cases,in the right side were 1 case,in the bilateral brain were 20 cases,in the basal ganglia were 9 cases,in the thalamus were 8 cases,in the corona radiata were 6 cases,in the semioval center were 5 cases, in the cerebral cortex were 4 cases,in the cerebellum were 4 cases and in the brain stem were 14 cases. In the cases of PLC with brain stem lesion,only 1 case was isolated pontine infarction,the other patients all combined with lesions of other parts. Compared with the pontine infarction with PLC,the isolated pontine in?farction without PLC was more likely to suffer with unilateral brain lesions(71%vs 50%),but there was no significant difference (χ2=0.844, P=0.358) . Conclusion PSFLC is not a rare complication after stroke, which is associated with multiple site of brain involvement especially pontine infarction.

METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Waters SunfireTM C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-water-glacial acetic acid(17:82:1,V/V/V)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelength was 230 nm,column temperature was 35 ℃,and the volume injection was 20 μl. RESULTS:The linear range was 0.024-0.240 mg/ml for paeoniflorin(r=0.999 9)and 0.009 4-0.141 0 mg/ml(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2%;recoveries were 95.00-97.90%(RSD=0.59%,n=6) and 95.29-98.24%(RSD=0.54%,n=6),respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple and repro-ducible,and can be used for the quality control of Naoxueshuan pill.

Objective To observe the effect of dexmedetomidine on patients′ inflammation during CPB and protective effect on kidney and liver. Methods 60 cases undergoing cardiac valve replacement under CPB were randomly divided into NS group and Dex group. Blood samples were taken before induction , before ascending aorta blocked, end of CPB, 24, 48 and 72 hours after operation. The serum level of HMGB-1, TNF-α, IL-6, BUN, Cr and ALT are tested. Blood WBC and N% are also counted. Results WBC, N% and HMGB-1, TNF-α, IL-6, BUN, Cr in Dex group significantly decreased at time point T2 ~ T6 (P < 0.05) compared with NS group. But ALT in Dex group only decreased at time point T 2 and T5 compared with NS group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can significantly decrease inflammatory factor during CPB and improve renal function after surgery.

Objective To study the possible mechanisms of aprotinin in the protection of platelets. Methods Cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca 2+ ]i) was determined in calcium fluorescent indicator Fura 2/AM loaded washed human platelets by using dual wavelength spectrofluorophotometer. The mean value of resting [Ca 2+ ]i and the changes of [Ca 2+ ]i response to thrombin and aprotinin were observed. Results In the presence of extracellular Ca 2+ at the dose of 1 mmol/L, the resting level of [Ca 2+ ]i in platelets of human was (151.840?28.719) nmol/L. Thrombin stimulated the rise in [Ca 2+ ]i in the presence of Ca 2+ at the dose of 1 mmol/L, and the effects were inhibited by aprotinin in a concentration dependent manner ( P
