Objective To investigate the clinical features , treatment regimen , and prognosis evaluation of tertiary peritonitis (TP). Methods Seventy-eight cases with TP were randomly enrolled into 2 groups, including the simple western medicine-treated group (32 cases) and the integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine-treated group (46 cases). The prognoses were evaluated according to the acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅢ (APACHEⅢ, APⅢ) scoring. Results The mortality rate was 71.9% (23 of 32) in patients received the simple western medicine and was 32.6%(15 of 46) in patients received the integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine with significant difference between these two groups (P < 0.01). There was a significant correlation between AP Ⅲscore and actual mortality (r=0.73,P<0.01), and predicted mortality (r=0.76, P<0.01). Conclusions The therapeutic effect is acceptable and satisfactory for the TP patients received the integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. The AP Ⅲ scoring system can be used to predict the prognosis of TP patients.

Objective To study arterial distribution of rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap and to evaluate whether it can be divided into several units for reconstruction. Methods The arteries of the rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap were studied on 60 sides of cadavers by dissection and angiography. Results The superior epigastric artery (SEA) and the inferior epigastric artery (IEA) continued in a longitudinal direction. Most of their branches took on a typical spiral configuration and communicated with each other within muscle above the level of umbilicus. Many perforating arteries penetrated through the anterior rectus sheath to get to the overlying skin, but the highest concentration of major perforators were in the paraumbilical area. The inferior epigastric artery was more significant than superior epigastric artery in supplying the skin of the musculocutaneous flap. Based on thefstudies of the vascular anatomy of muscles, we could classify arterial distribution into 3 types: type Ⅰ (SEA 26.5 %, IEA 34.6%) revealed a single main intramuscular artery: type Ⅱ (SEA 64.7 %, IEA 48.1%) had two major intramuscular branches; type Ⅲ (SEA 8.8%, IEA 17.3 %) revealed three intramuscular branches. Our anatomic studies showed that the superior and inferior epigastric artery bifurcated or divided into more than two main branches in the majority of cases (SEA 73.5%, IEA 65.4%). Conclusion The rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap could often be divided into several regions for breast construction which is based on the distribution of each branch of the artery.

Objective To investigate the effects of total nutrient admixture (TNA) on the recovery of patients with gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy.Methods The clinical data of 50 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College between March 2013 and March 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Among 50 patients receiving radical gastrectomy,26 patients receiving TNA were allocated to the experimental group and 24 patients receiving conventional fluid infusion were allocated to the control group.Patients in the experimental group received the nutritional support therapy using TNA at preoperative day 5 and at postoperative days 1-5,and patients in the control group received the postoperative intravenous rehydration including water,glucose,electrolyte,vitamins and micro elements.The nutritional indexes [albumin (Alb),prealbumin,transferrin and hemoglobin (Hb)],time to anal exsufflation,incidence of complications (wound infection,anastomotic leakage,blooding and intestinal obstruction) and duration of hospital stay were observed before nutritional support therapy and at postoperative day 8.The count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.The chi-square value of correction for continuity was used when 1 ≤ minimum theoretical frequency ≤ 5.The measurement data with normal distribution were presented as (x) ±s and analyzed using the t test or repeated measures ANOVA.The ordinal data were analyzed by the analysis of variance.Results The Alb,prealbumin,transferrin and Hb in the experimental group were (38.6 ± 2.0) g/L,(281 ± 33) mg/L,(2.5 ± 0.9) g/L and (111 ± 20) g/L before nutritional support therapy and (38.2 ± 1.9) g/L,(277 ± 16) mg/L,(2.3 ± 1.1) g/L and (112 ± 37) g/L at postoperative day 8,respectivley.The Alb,prealbumin,transferrin and Hb in the control group were (38.3 ±2.4) g/L,(287 ± 34) mg/L,(2.4 ± 1.1) g/L and (107 ± 21) g/L before nutritional support therapy and (30.3 ±2.3) g/L,(190 ± 41) mg/L,(1.6 ± 0.3) g/L and (93 ± 22) g/L at postoperative day 8,respectivley.There were significant differences in the nutritional indexes at postoperative day 8 between the 2 groups (F =174.042,95.637,9.529,4.919,P ＜ 0.05).The time to anal exsufflation in the experimental group were (52 ± 11) hours,which was significantly different from (70 ± 12) hours in the control group (t =-5.176,P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of complications was 15.4％ (4/26) in the experimental group,which was significantly different from 58.3％ (14/24) in the control group (x2=6.460,P ＜0.05).Patients with complications in the 2 groups were cured by anti-infective or symptomatic treatment.The duration of hospital stay was (9 ± 3) days in the experimental group and (12 ± 4) days in the control group,with a significant difference between the 2 groups (t =-2.912,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion TNA can improve the nutritional status of patients after radical gastrectomy in a short time.It could help patients to get through the perioperative period smoothly,and enhance the postoperative recovery.

Objective:To observe the clinical effects of extraoral manual reposition approach in the treatment of acute anterior disloca-tion of temporomandibular joint. Methods:98 patients with acute anterior dislocation of temporomandibular joint were divided into 2 groups(n=49) by random digit table and treated by manual reposition through intraoral and extraoral approach respectively. The suc-cess rate, success time, patient pain during treatment, SBP, DBP, HR and patient satisfaction were evaluated respectively. Results:The success rate(95. 92%) and the patient satisfaction rate(76%) of extraoral method group were higher than those of the intraoral method group (81. 63% and 66%);success time(3. 91 ± 0. 55)s and patient pain during treatment(3. 51 ± 0. 25) in extraoral method group were less than those in the intraoral method group[(5. 57 ± 0. 51) s and (6. 6 ± 0. 21)]. The degree of changes of SBP, DBP and HR in extraoral method group were less than those in the intraoral method group(P<0. 05). Conclusion:Extraoral manual reposi-tion approach is more effective than intraoral approach in the treatment of acute anterior dislocation of temporomandibular joint.

Objective To determine the three dimensional motion data of each segment of cervical vertebrae and analyze the characteristics of the intervertebral coupled motion during cervical axial rotation under physiological weight bearing. Methods A total of 16 healthy volunteers (ranging from 22 to 29, median age, 23 years) were recruited to our study. Any cervical spine disorder history, pain or other discomfort and malformations were excluded so as to avoid abnormal neck motion. These subjects underwent CT scans of their cervical segments in a supine position, and 3D models of C1-C7 were constructed. Next, each subject was asked to sit up straight and was positioned in the following sequence:maximal left and right twisting, while double oblique images by DFIS were taken simultaneously at each of the positions. Then, the CT models were matched to the osseous outlines of the images from the two oblique views to quantify the position of cervical vertebraes in 3D at each position. Through local coordinate systems at the center of vertebral bodies, changes of position and angle of each cephalad vertebrae relative to the cauddal one were calculated before and after the axial rotation. Results (1) In the axial rotation of the cervical spine, the contribution of C1/2 accounted for the most of the total cervical rotation range. For the lower levels, axial rotation was found to be maximal at C3/4 and C5/6, minimal at C2/3. (2) In cervical axial motion, C1/2 demonstrated a coupled lateral bending opposite to the axial rotation direction, while each segment of C2-7 demonstrated coupled lateral bending towards the same side of the axial rotation. Among these segments the lateral bending angle of C2/3 was smaller than angles of C3/4, C4/5 and C5/6. Conclusion This study investigated the cervical coupling behavior using the noninvasive 2D-3D matching technique and obtained the motion data at each cervical spinal segment. These findings will help to improve the understanding on physiological cervical spine movement and potential biomechanical mechanism and treatment of cervical spondylosis. Also our data may provide useful reference for the prosthesis design.

Objective To investigate the stimulation of exosome derived from osteosarcoma cells suppressing cytotoxic T cells and the inhibitory effect of active T cells for surpressing osteosarcoma cells. Methods Exosome derived from tumor cells was isolated and purified by ultracentrifugation. Its morphology was observed with transmission electron microscope, and the major histocompatibility complex-I ( MHC-I) molecules were analyzed by western blot. Mice bone marrow-derived dendritic cells were pulsed with exosome. Surface membrane MHC-I molecules were analyzed with flow cytometry. The effect of active T cells on the growth of osteosarcoma cells were detected by MTT assay after the T cells being stimulated by exosome-pulsed dendritic cells. Results The exosome was round or near round corpuscle, and the diameter was about 50-100 nm by transmission electron microscope. The size was relatively homogeneous. Western blot showed that the exosome expressed MHC-Ⅰmolecules. Surface membrane CD80,MHC-I and II molecules were expressed on 77. 16%, 83. 21%, and 91. 26% of LPS-treated dendritic cells, respectively, which were up-regulated compared to untreated cells. Dendritic cells pulsed with exosome derived from osteosarcoma cells caused significantly higher T cells stimulation and osteosarcoma cells inhibition as compared to un-pulsed dendritic cells. (P<0.05). Conclusion T cells can inhibit the growth of osteosarcoma cells after being stimulated by exosome-pulsed dendritic cells in vitro.

OBJECTlVE To study the effect of ganoderma poIysaccharide( GLP)on zebrafish ( Danio rerio)survivaI,deveIopment and senescence. METHODS A p53-knockout zebrafish modeI was estabIished by injecting of morphoIino phosphorodiamidate(mO)into normaI zebrafish eggs in the singIe ceII deveIopment stage. Different concentrations of GLP 1,2 and 3 g·L-1 were used to treat both wiId type and p53-knockout zebrafish embryos 8 h post fertiIization(8 hpf)under 28℃ for 3 d. The survivaI and maIformation rates were caIcuIated after 72 hpf,and the effect of GLP on ceII senescence was evaI-uated by senescence associated β-gaIactosidase(SA-β-gaI)staining both in wiId type and p53-knockout zebrafish embryos. In addition,the differentiaI gene expression of cancer inhibitor gene(p53),teIomer-ase reverse transcriptase( TERT),murine doubIe minute2( mdm2)and p21 was examined by RT-PCR both in wiId type and p53-knockout zebrafish embryos after treatment with different concentrations of GLP. RESULTS GLP 1 and 2 g·L-1 had no effect on deveIopment of wiId type zebrafish embryos,but after GLP 3 g·L-1 treatment,most of zebrafish embryos dispIayed maIformation and the survivaI rate was onIy 48.6%. GLP 1,2 and 3 g·L-1 had no effect on survivaI and deveIopment of p53-knockout zebrafish embryos. After GLP 2 g·L-1 treatment for 3 d,the SA-β-gaI staining positive rate of wiId type zebrafish embryos was reduced compared with controI group(P﹤0.01),whiIe there was no significant change in p53-knockout zebrafish embryos. The resuIts of RT-PCR showed that GLP 2 g·L-1 treatment depressed p21 and p53 gene expression(P﹤0.05,P﹤0.01),and had no effect on mdm2 and TERTgene expres-sion of wiId type zebrafish embryos. For p53-knockout zebrafish embryos,the TERT,mdm2,p21 and p53 gene expression dispIayed no significant difference after GLP 2 g·L-1 treatment. CONCLUSlON GLP 2 g·L-1 may improve senescence of wiId type zebrafish embryo ceIIs. GLP ≥3 g·L-1 may Iead to death and abnormaI deveIopment of wiId type zebrafish embryos. The improvement of GLP on senescence of wiId type zebrafish embryo ceIIs might be mediated by its down-reguIation of p21 and p53 gene expression.
