Objective To analyze the differences of hospitalization mortality of coronary stenting in patients with coronary heart disease between the elderly (≥65 years old ) and non elderly. Methods Totally 3252 patients who underwent coronary stenting in Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital were studied retrospectively. They were divided into elderly group (≥65 years old, n=1344) and non elderly group (

Objective To explore the efficacy of foreskin-deglove and shaft-fix procedure combined with Z-plasty of penis and scrotum skin in the treatment of concealed penis. Methods Fifty-eight patients diagnosed as concealed penis were included in the study.All of them underwent the foreskin-deglove and shaft-fix procedure.Foreskin was degloved from 5 mm to 10 mm proximal to corona deep to the root,and bilateral tunica albuginea at this level was sutured to suprapubic scarpas' fascia.Z plasty of penis and scrotum skin was applied to cover penile shaft. Results After follow-up for 6 to 12 months,there was no recurrent retraction of the penile shaft,and all the patients were satisfied with the appearance of penis after plastic surgery.Edema of prepuce occurred in 2 patients,and completely regressed in 2 to 3 months.There was no incision scar hyperplasy,and the function of urination and erection were normal. Conclusion Foreskin-deglove and shaft-fix procedure combined with Z-plasty of penis and scrotum skin can resolve pathologic problems of concealed penis and has favourable aesthetic results with less complications.It is easy to perform and is an ideal procedure in the treatment of concealed penis.

Objective To study the clinical pathological features,treatment and prognosis of umbilical metastases of intra abdominal malignancies (sister Mary Joseph nodule, SMJN). Methods From January 1980 to July 2003, 17 SMJN cases were admitted. The clinical features were reviewed. Results The diagnosis of SMJN was confirmed by pathology in all cases, including epithelial ovarian carcinoma in 6 cases, gastric adenocarcinoma in 6 cases,colon adenocarcinoma in 2 cases, and endometrial carcinoma, gallbladder carcinoma and undifferentiated adenocarcinoma without identifying primary site in one each. Mean survival、half year、one year and two year survival rate in 10 palliative excision cases was 13 5 months、60%、20% and 10%, which were significantly better than 8 25 months、14 3%、0% and 0% in 7 conservative therapy cases ( P

OBJECTIVE: To explore the injury mechanism of the human knee in a traffic accident by establishing a 3D finite element (FE) model. METHODS: The FE model, composed of femur, tibia, fibula, patella, meniscus, knee ligaments and surrounding soft tissues, was reconstructed by CT scanning data from a male volunteer. Validation was performed by the lateral impact simulation, and the stress and strain results were obtained to be compared with those previously reported for injury prediction. RESULTS: The results derived from the FE model were found to be similar with those previously reported, most of the ligaments and meniscus wounded at 40 m/s collision, which was readily observed. CONCLUSION The simulation results generated by FE model can be effectively used for the injury mechanism analysis of initial contact.

Objective To explore human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)colonization in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE)rats brain.Methods Models of 7-day-old newborn rats with HIE brain injury were established.Meanwhile,on the same day,MSCs were transplanted with Hoechst 33258 for 24 hours into rats models marked by flurescent nucleotide dye injected through caudal vein or with stereotactic instrument.After 15-30 days,then MSCs were detected with fluorescene microscope.Results With the improved rice methods,HIE animal model was successfully attained.Majority of MSCs were distributed in the cortex,hippocampus of the lesioned hemisphere,especially in the forehead.And abtained a good fusion with HIE rats brain tissue.Conclusion Human umbilical cord blood MSCs can be cultured,when transplanted into the HIE rats model,they can move into intracranial,and integer with rats brain tissue.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the application value of postmortem multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) by observing and analyzing the injury features in the traffic accident victims. METHODS: Ten traffic accident victims were scanned with whole body MSCT. The systemic autopsy was subsequently performed to compare with the results of MSCT. The advantages and disadvantages of autopsy and MSCT for obtaining the information of traffic accident injuries were then analyzed. RESULTS: MSCT could reveal 3D shape of fractures clearly and detect air accumulation in different positions of the body, which showed the obvious advantages compared with autopsy. However, the resolution of MSCT was limited compared to the detection of organ and soft tissue injuries. CONCLUSION A combination of MSCT and autopsy is the best way for determining the manner and the cause of death in traffic fatality victims.

This paper is to introduce the conception, basic constitution and working flow of laboratory automatic systems, and the domestic and world developments of the laboratory pipelining systems. It analyses the problems and the preferred scheme which should be given careful consideration when a system is to be built in the hospital.
