Objective To treat the sunken upper eyelids in the midd le and older patients with a modified procedure so as to improve esthetic appeara nce of the patients. Methods Autolipoparticles collected from patients' abdomen were injected into the sunken upper eyelids beneath the o rbital septum. 3ml of the lipoparticles were injected for each upper eyelid as u sual. The blepharoplasty was also performed for most of the patients with lower eyelids bag before or during the operation. Results The decrepit phenomena of eyes in all the patients were improved by the operations. Owing to the phenomena that the sunken upper eyelids were associated with the fa t bags of lower eyelid in most patients, it was inferable that the sunken upper eyelids were probably caused by the tissues ptosis in the orbit. Con clusions The sunken upper eyelids associated with fat bags of lower eyelids are the decrepit phenomena of eyes in middle age and old people. The sun ken upper eyelids can be corrected by the method of autolipoparticle injection. After the operation the appearance of patients' eyes is obviously improved. The method is easily performed and its curative effect is reliable.

0.05)respectively.[Conclusion]The technique of radiographic assessment to define the anteromedial OA of the knee is not easy to perform,but it can be used,by well trained doctors,in the most knee OA cases with high accuracy.The MR imaging gives more information about cartilage defects and can be used in some doubted cases.

Objective To study the effects of Nitric oxide(NO),Nitric oxide synthases (NOS)on calcium-activated potassium channels (KCa) of mesenteric artery smooth muscle(SMC)between patients with essential hypertension (EH) and normotensive patients.Methods (1)Mesenteric artery branch from 21 EH and 18 normotensive patients respectively was digested by enzyme.Patch clamp technique was used to pull cell-attached and inside-out patches on mesenteric artery SMC from EH.The signal channel open number probability (Po),open dwell-time(To) and close dwell- time(Tc),were recorded.(2)The levels of plasma NO?NOS were measured by colorimetry analysis method.(3)The analysis of linear correlation was performed to estimate the relationship between the levels of plasma NO and Po?To?Tc of KCa of mesenteric artery SMC in the subjects of the two groups.Results (1)Compared to that of normotensive patients,the activities of KCa channels of patients with EH was higher.After adding Ca 2+ to cytoplasm,the Po of KCa channels in normotensive patients increased significantly.But there were few changes in EH group.(2)The levels of plasma NO?NOS were lower in EH group than in control group.(3)Linear correlation analysis showed that the levels of plasma NO were correlated positively with Po?To in normotensive patients,wherese the positive correlation were decreased in EH group.Conclusion The activities of KCa channels of patients with EH increase significantly.but the sensitivity to Ca 2+ decreased.NO?NOS may stimulate the KCa channels of normotensive and EH patients,but they may not be main factors in EH patients.

BACKGROUND:Age and dental age are shown to have some limitations in predicting skeletal maturity.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the mandibular length in boys and girls with Class I and Class II skeletal patterns by using the cervical vertebrae maturation, and to provide valid reference index for orthodontical treatment.
METHODS:The lateral cephalograms of the 160 cases of Class I (40 males and 40 females) and Class II (40 males and 40 females) skeletal patterns, aged 8-15 years, were taken before orthodontic treatment. The sample was grouped according to stages of the cervical vertebrae maturation (Hasse and Farman method), and the mandibular length was measured separately. The results were statistical y analyzed by the independent-sample t test.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No matter you are a male or female, the mandibular length of Class I was greater than that of Class II at the early stages of growth and development. In the Class I pattern, the mandibular lengths of boys were greater than those of girls at accelerated, transition, and deceleration stages (P<0.05), whereas in the Class II pattern, the mandibular lengths of boys were greater than those of girls at accelerated, transition, and deceleration stages (P<0.05). The present results indicate a sexual dimorphism in the mandibular length at almost al stages of bone maturation, but the possibility of a later“catch up”growth period occurs on Class II girls. And this information has important orthodontic clinical implications.

The expression of nm23 gene product/NDPK was studied in curatively resected human gastric carcinoma, using anti-NDPK polyclonal antibody. Of 115 patients tested, 59.1%(68/115) showed positive staining in the primary lesions, and 41.9%(36/86) were positive in the metastatic regional lymph nodes. A significantly higher positive staining rate was found in patients without regional nodal metastasis (86.2%, 25/29) than in those with nodal involvement (50.0%, 43/86; P

Objective To study the significance of antikeratin antibodies(AKA) in rheumatoid arthritis(RA). Method Serum samples of 98 patients with RA and 70 rheumatic disease controls were tested by indirect immunofluorescence assay.The diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of AKA were compared with rheumatoid factor(RF). The features of clinical manifestation and lab findings were compared in patients with RA who were positive for AKA with ones who were negative.Results The positive rate of AKA in RA patients was significantly higher than that in rheumatic disease controls.AKA showed a diagnostic specificity of 97.1%, higher than RF.RA patients who were positive for AKA had more active disease as assessed based on clinical, laboratory tests,and radiological variables, as compared with AKA negative patients. Conclusion AKA showes high disease specificity and has prognostic significance in patients with RA.

Objective To investigate the distribution of blood pressure and incidence of hypertension in children and adolescents from the urban area of Guiyang city aged 8-17 years old,in order to provide scientific evidence for preventing hypertension.Methods Seven thousand nine hundred and sixty-three primary and secondary students were sampled and standardized in blood pressure,height and weight.In accordance with the Working Group on Obesity in China(WGOC)recommendations,the subjects were divided into overweight,obesity and normal weight group,then the relationship between blood pressure and body mass index(BMI)and the prevalence of hypertension in different BMI groups were analyzed.Results 1.Compared with the USA and Shanghai city,the distribution of blood pressure in children and adolescents from the urban area of Guiyang city were different(Pa

AIM: To know the psychological conditions of various cataract patients in pre- and post-operative periods.METHODS: From June 2008 to June 2009, 278 cataract patients had been asked to complete a questionnaire anonymously of their self-evaluation of symptoms scale (SCL) before and after operation. In their pre-operative and post-operative surveys, the results were compared with the norms respectively. Patients were divided into two groups. Group A were age-related cataract patients; while Group B were cataract patients with glaucoma, trauma or metabolic disease.RESULTS: When cataract patients' masculine scores of somatization, depression, anxiety and fear factors before and after the operation rank higher than the norms, the differences had statistical significance(P＜0.05), especially the somatization factor(P＜0.01).While cataract patients with diseases such as glaucoma, trauma or diabetes got higher marks than age-related cataract patients in the aspects of anxiety, somatization, depression (P<0.05), and fear factors, the differences were of statistical significance(P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Cataract patients both in pre- and post- and operative periods have somatization behaviors and emotions of depression, anxiety and fear. Cataract patients with glaucoma, trauma or diabetes especially anxiety have more obvious symptoms than age-related cataract patients.
