Objective To investigate the levels of complement and activated complement factors in peripheral blood and skin in patients with psoriasis and their significance in the development of psoriatic lesion.Methods Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immuno turbidi metric analysis were used to determine the levels of C3d, sC5b-9, C3 and C4 in sera from 57 patients with psoriasis vulgaris.Immunohistochemistry was employed to assess in situ expression of SC5b-9 in lesional and non lesional skin of 37 patients.Results There was a significant decrease of C3 and C4, and increase of C3d and sC5b-9 in patients with psoriasis in comparison with those of normal controls (t=10.88～ 24.80, P<0.01).The levels of C3 and C4 were significantly lower, while the levels of C3d and sC5b-9 were significantly higher in progressive stage than those in static stage (t=4.55～ 6.77,P< 0.01).In situ expression of sC5b-9 was significantly higher in stratum corneum and dermo epidermal junction of lesional skin than that in non lesional skin and normal controls (χ2=62.90,45.45;P< 0.01).There was no significant difference of C5b-9 expression in stratum corneum and dermoepidermal junction of lesional skin between progressive and static stage.Conclusions There is significant correlation between the development of psoriatic lesion and local deposit of activated complement factors.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal cocoon. Methods This article retrospectively summarized clinical data of 6 cases of abdominal cocoon. Results All the 6 cases of abdominal cocoon were misdiagnosed preoperatively: 5 cases were diagnosed as having intestinal obstruction and 1 case,abdominal mass.Partial or total capsule resection was adopted in all the 6 cases,1 of which simultaneously underwent intestinal arrangement. Conclusions Abdominal cocoon is not specific,which is difficult to diagnose preoperatively.Upper digestive tract radiography,B-ultrasonography and CT scanning help to make the diagnosis.Partial or total capsule resection,intestinal arrangement,intestinal resection and release for intestinal adhesion are usually adopted as the treatment.

The linear analysis for heart rate variability (HRV), including time domain method, frequency domain method and time-frequency analysis, has reached a lot of consensus. The non-linear analysis has also been widely applied in biomedical and clinical researches. However, for non-linear HRV analysis, especially for short-term non-linear HRV analysis, controversy still exists, and a unified standard and conclusion has not been formed. This paper reviews and discusses three short-term non-linear HRV analysis methods (fractal dimension, entropy and complexity) and their principles, progresses and problems in clinical application in detail, in order to provide a reference for accurate application in clinical medicine.

The changes of leucocyte deformability (LD) and effects of PGMS and PSS on LD in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACT) were observed. The results showed that leucocyte filtration index (IF) was higher significantly in patients with ACI than that in the normal control ( P

By means of the erythrocyte C3b receptor rosett test and the tumor erythrocyte rosette test, we measured the effects of Sepia on the activity of the erythrocyte C3b receptor and the erythrocyte's immune adhesion to tumor cells in normal persons and in malignant tumor patients. The results showed that Sepia has a markedly active effect on the erythrocyte C3b receptor in normal persons and patients with malignant tumor, and this effect was highest when the concentration of Sepia was 10%. Sepia could markedly enhance the erythrocyte's immune adhesion to tumor cells in normal subjects and in patients with malignant tumor, which was more obvious when the concentration of Sepia was 10%. These results indicate that the anti-tumor action of Sepia is related to activating the erythrocyte immune adhesion function.

Objective To establish a model of full-thickness avascular meniscal defect to assess outcome of bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) modified with human insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ (hIGF-Ⅰ) gene and compounded with injectable calcium alginate gel in repair of meniscal defect.Methods Models of full-thickness defect were created in the anterior comer of meniscus in goats,an area lacking of blood supply.The trial categorized the models to four groups:gene-ehanced tissue engineering (GETE) group (hIGF-Ⅰ transfected BMSCs were mixed with calcium alginate gel),BMSCs group (BMSCs were mixed with calcium alginate gel),empty group (calcium alginate gel was used alone) and control group (the defect was excluded from repair).Macroscopy was done at 4,8,and 16 weeks after operation.Variation of repair tissue was observed by light and scanning electric microscopy and aggrecan in repair tissue was determined as well.Results Meniscal defect was on the mend at 4-16 weeks after operation in GETE group,with the defect area being thoroughly filled with the white,elastic and tight repair tissue similar to normal meniscal tissue.Macroscopic examination showed a better result in GETE group than that in other groups.Light microscopy showed that repair tissue which was mainly fibrochondrocytes was arranged in line with calcium alginate fibers and that space between the fibers was mostly crammed with the matrix secreted by those cells.At the same time,those cells were tightly arranged and the matrix secreted by those cells was equally distributed according to light microscopy.Electroscopy demonstrated neat and tight arrangement of fibers and tight extracellular matrix in fiber space in GETE group.Aggrecan concentration in GETE group was relatively higher than in other groups,but still had difference from the normal meniscus.Conclusion hIGF-Ⅰ gene-transfected BMSCs combined with injectable calcium alginate gel can improve the effect in repair of full-thickness meniscal defect.

Objective: To study the absorption and utilization of dietary iron, zinc and calcium of male adults of Yi nationality, for basic information to prevent and cure diseases related to mineral deficiencies. Method: Twelve young men aged between 20 and 22 from the region lived by Yi nationality were studied in 14 d period with metabolic balance technique. At the beginning of study, their fasting blood hemoglobin and hematocrit, serum ferritin, plasma zinc and calcium concentration were deteimined. During the 4-12 d of the study, experimental diet, subsequent feces and urine samples were also collected for determining the contents of iron, zinc and calcium by flame atom absorption spectrum method, and then apparent absorption rate, apparent utilization rate and metabolic balance of these minerals were calculated. Results: The apparent absorption rate of iron, zinc and calcium was (15.8?6.2)%, (24.5?4.1)% and (32.3?9.7) % and the apparent utilization rate was (1.9?5.7)%, (12.8?4.3)% and (5.5?15.9)% respectively. The metabolic study showed iron balance, and zinc balance, but calcium balance was variable. Conclusion: The intakes of iron and zinc from the diet can meet the requirements, but calcium cannot. More intakes of foods rich in calcium are recommended for Yi nationality.

Objective: To compare the methods of metabolic balance (MB) and fecal monitoring (FM) for evaluating the dietary zinc (Zn) absorption in Tibetan men. Methods: In 14 d field trial on 16 adult Tibetan men, capsules of carmine were given to mark the feces from D4 to D12, and samples of diet, water, feces and urine were collected during the period. In addition, 4.0 mg zinc tracer (enriched with 67Zn) and 1.0 mg recovery indicator ytterbium (Yb) were orally administrated to the subjects in the evening meal of the D5. The ratio of 67Zn/68Zn in fecal samples was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and then the zinc absorption was calculated based on the principle of isotope dilution. Results: The dietary zinc absorption in Tibetan men was (23.8?3.9) % evaluated by MB and (21.4?4.3) % by FM with significant difference (by paired-samples t test) and linear correlation (Pearson). The unabsorbed zinc tracer and Yb had the similar behavior through the digestive tract, mostly excreted within5 d following the intake. Conclusion: In the 14d metabolic period, the dietary zinc absorption from MB was a little higher than that from FM. Using FM, the metabolic period can be shortened to 4-5 days according to excretion of Yb. Both methods suggested that the dietary zinc absorption in the adult Tibetan men was good.
