Fluorocarbon emulsion, a substitute of blood, 20 ml/kg were injected once into dogs intravenously. As a result, part of the substitute deposited in the lympho-retic-ular system and was phagocytized by fixed and free histiocytes (rnonophagocytic system), and the histiocytes then converted into foaming cells.One month after injection, the fluorocarbon's deposits in the foaming cells remained at the peak level in the liver, spleen and other organs of the lympho-reti-cuJar system. After six months,no deposits could be found in all viscera and no signs of any pathological changes, except the spleen under a light microscope.After twelve months, no foaming cells were found in the spleen, liver, and kidney under light cmicroscope,yet but foaming cells could be found in the spleen and liver with the help of an electron microscope and we believed that this sign had no pathological significance in clinic practice.The target cells only showed the action of phagocitizing and depositing.According to our observation, the fluorocarbon emulsion is a non cytoplasmic toxin and an inert biologic substance, so there are no secondary histo-pathologic changes caused by fluorocarbon deposition. It seems that 20 ml/kg of fluorocarbon emulsion (equal to 1200 ml for adult human)injected intravenously is rather safe.

Objective: To study the relation of condylar morphology with different vertical facial types in the development of patients with skeletal Ⅲ malocclusions. Methods:180 cases with skeletal Ⅲ malocclusion were divided into children(5-11 years old), adolescence(12-17 years old) and adult(18-30 years old) groups with 60 cases in each group. Orthopantomograms of the patients with different vertical facial types were retrospectively investigated by computerized cephalometric analysis. Condylar morphology were compared among different age groups of the same vertical facial type. Results:In patients with high angle, ramus height(RH) was getting bigger with ageing(P0.05). In patients with low angle h and RH in adult group were bigger than those in adolescence or in children(P

Objective To explore the time-related expressions of TGF-?1mRNA during the healing process of rat skin wounds. Method Using the method of the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reac-tion (RT-PCR) on intra-vital rat skin incised wounds (0.5h, 1h, 3h, 6h, 48h, 72h, 96h, 168h after incision) and postmortem rat skin incised wounds (0.5h, 1h, 3h after incision) to detect the dynamics of expression Ievel of TGF-?1mRNA. The strength of the expression of TGF-?1mRNA in scanned image was using ID-Advanced software. Results The results of RT-PCR showed that TGF-?1mRNA Ievel increased at 0.5h after incision and elevated significantly after 3h. The peak of TGF-?1mRNA occurred at 48h. There was no obvious expression of TGF-?1mRNA in postmortem incised wounds. Conclusion The characteristics of the TGF-?1mRNA expression were potentially indicative for the wound aging. RT-PCR was a sensitive method for detection of the expression of cytokines in genic level.

OBJECTIVE: To sum up the advantages and disadvantages as well as application prospects of several kinds of new devices in airway management, including the laryngeal mask airway (LMA), esophageal-tracheal combitubes (ETC),fribreoptic stylet laryngoscope (FOS), video Macintosh intubating laryngoscope system (VMS) and GlideScope(R) videolaryngoscope(GSVL).DATA SOURCES: Using the terms "airway management", we searched Medline for airway management device-related articles, which were published during January 1990 to February 2006 in English.STUDY SELECTION: The materials were firstly selected. Successful rate of intubation, intubation-related complications and incidence in studying tracheal intubation with LMA, ETC, FOS, VMS and GSVL were chosen. Inclusive .criteria: ① Randomized and controlled study of adult cases. ② Clinical studies or case report. ③ Including the studies of general airway or difficult airway. Exclusive criteria: ① Study of intubation in children. ② Repetitive study.DATA EXTRACTION: Eighty-six articles about tracheal intubation with LMA, ETC, FOS, VMS and GSVL were chosen, among which, 36 were included in this study, and 50 were excluded due to study on intubation in children or repetitive study.DATA SYNTHESIS: Correct placement does not affect vocal cord movement, so patients may vocalize while an LMA is in place. Its successful rate is over 90%. Its most attractive advantages are increased speed and ease of placement by both inexperienced personal and experienced anesthesiologists, low frequency of cough and low incidence. The esophageal tracheal combrtube is a supraglottic airway device that functions as an effective alternative to ventilization via mask and tracheal intubation in both the esophageal and tracheal position. It is successful when emergency occurs, but it is only suitable for adults. The flexibility of FOS allows for intubation of patients, without the need for head and neck manipulation. The main disadvantages of FOS are their limited field of view and the high cost of purchase and maintenance. Observation and manipulation in using VMS can be performed in one axis. GSVL provides a clear view of larynx on the monitor instead of directly viewed by the operator.CONCLUSION: These new devices of airway management can relatively decrease the intubation difficulty, increase the successful rate and lead to lower complication incidence. The skills of these new airway management devices should be included in the modern anesthesia residency program.

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the primary etiological agent of Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and muticentric Castleman's disease. In common with the other herpesviruses, KSHV exhibits both latent and lytic life cycles, both of which are characterized by distinct gene expression profiles and programs. KSHV encodes proteins which play essential roles in the inhibition of host adaptive and innate immunity, the inhibition of apoptosis, and the regulation of the cell cycle. KSHV also encodes several proteins which have transforming and intrcellular signalling activity.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) originates from rare leukemia stem cells (LSC).Because these chemotherapy-resistant LSC are thought to underlie disease relapse,effective therapeutic strategies specifically targeting these cells may be beneficial.With the increasing knowledge regarding the LSC,several major directions in targeted therapies with regard to LSC are being investigated.These include targeting cell surface molecules,signal pathways,and microenvironment of LSC.Since eliminating LSC-should provide an efficient,potentially curative treatment option for leukemia patients,this article reviews the recent progress of LSC targeting in AML therapy.

Bile dut injury (BDI) is one of the severe complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).The classification,diagnosis and treatment of the BDI caused by LC are partly controversial.The most efficient classification of the BDI is Strasberg-Bismuth's classification and the three modes and four classes developed by the Biliary Surgery Group of Surgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association.Although the success rate of intraoperative diagnosis for the BDI is very low,in most cases,the BDI is diagnosed by clinical manifestations and assistant examinations.Accurate classification and early diagnosis could help us to make a specific one for each patient according to certain situation.In this review,we focus on the classification,diagnosis and treatment of the BDI caused by LC.
