OBJECTIVE: To observe the characteristics of vertical cast-off bloodstain pattern by different hitting-tools. METHODS: The regular hitting tools, a kitchen knife, a dirk, a plane set-hammer and an iron pipe, were selected. At a distance of 30 cm away from the wall, the hitting tool with 5 mL fresh chicken blood made the cast-off bloodstain from top to bottom. Then the holistic distribution characteristics (length, width and density) of cast-off bloodstain and morphology characteristics (length, width and contact angle) of first single cast-off bloodstain were analyzed. RESULTS: The distribution length of cast-off bloodstain formed by dirk was minimum (P < 0.05). The distribution width of cast-off bloodstain formed by kitchen knife was minimum (P < 0.05). Except the pair of kitchen knife and plane set-hammer, the distribution density between each two tools had statistical differences (P < 0.05). The length of first single cast-off bloodstain formed by plane set-hammer was longest compared (P < 0.05). The width of first single cast-off bloodstain had statistical differences between kitchen knife and plane set-hammer, and between dirk and plane set-hammer (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The type of hitting tool could be inferred by the specific characteristics of cast-off bloodstain pattern formed by every specific type of hitting tool in crime scene.

Objective To investigate low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)gene mutation in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients. Methods The proband was given clinical diagnosis of homozygous FH based on marked features and blood lipid tests results. After apoB100R3500Q mutation was excluded, the promoter region and all of the 18 exons of LDLR gene were amplified by touch-downpolymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR products were analyzed by single-strand conformationalpolymorphism (SSCP). The PCR products with abnormal single strands were sequenced directly. Thesecondary structures of the mutational and wild type proteins were analyzed and compared byANTHEPROT5.0, and then the tertiary structures of the mutant and wild type LDLR were predicted atSWISS MODEL homepage online. Results A homozygous mutation A606T at exon 13 of the patients wasfound by SSCP and confirmed by DNA sequencing. GOR Ⅰ method in ANTHEPROT5.0 indicates that therandom coils and turns would replace some helixes at the mutation site. The online prediction from theSWISS MODEL homepage indicates the backbone structure of the mutant LDLR has no difference from thewild type one. Conclusion The results suggest the A606T mutation of LDLR gene is the cause of the FH inthis pedigree.

Objective To explore small size toe tissue flap for aesthetic reconstruction of the thumb and / or finger. Methods Six kinds of small size toe tissue transplants had been applied in repairing skin-bone-joint composite tissue defects of the thumb or finger in 74 cases. Results Among 83reconstructed flaps of the 74 patients, 81 flaps survived completely. Follow-up examination made three to forty-eight months postoperatively showed that the outward appearance were excellent in most cases. The function of the thumbs or fingers were good. The donor feet can walk normally with no pain. Conclusion A variable combinations of toe tissues including skin, soft tissue, bone and joint can be harvested to form a lot of small size transplants for refined aesthetic reconstruction of thumb and finger. The functional and aesthetic results are good and the treatment course is shortened.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of isotretinoin erythromycin gel, a gel containing isotretinoin (0.05%) and erythromycin (2%), versus adapalene gel in the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris. Methods A multicenter, randomized, open, parallel-controlled clinical study was conducted. A total of 192 patients with mild to moderate (Grade Ⅰ -Ⅲ ) acne vulgaris were enrolled in this study according to the grading criteria for acne severity in guidelines for the treatment of acne in China. Efficacy analysis was carried out in 169 patients and safety analysis in 190 patients. The patients were classified into trial group (n = 86) and control group (n = 83 ) to be treated with isotretinoin erythromycin gel or adapalene gel once a night for 6 weeks. Patients were evaluated at the baseline, on week 2, 4 and 6 during the treatment for the count of comedones (both open and closed), inflammatory papules and pustules, severity of acne and local or general adverse effects. Results After the start of treatment, the response rate gradually increased and severity of acne decreased in both groups. On week 6, the total response rate was 51.16% in the trial group and 40.96% in the control group (P ＞ 0.05), while a greater reduction in the count of pustules and inflammatory lesions was observed on week 4 and 6 in the trial group with a lower severity grade of acne compared with the control group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ). Adverse reactions were similar in both groups and manifested as tolerable local irritation. Conclusions The efficacy of isotretinoin erythromycin gel is similar to that of adapalene gel in the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris, however, isotretinoin erythromycin gel seems superior to adapalene gel in reducing inflammatory lesions and rapidly improving severity of acne vulgaris.

Objective To construct four expression plasmids, pcDNA3.1-GFP/HPV6bE6, pcDNA3.1-GFP/HPV6bE7, pcDNA3.1-GFP/HPV11E6, pcDNA3.1-GFP/HPV11E7 and their transfected murine cell lines. Methods The Four recombinant expression plasmids comprising HPV6bE6,HPV6bE7,HPV11E6 and HPV11E7 linked with GFP, respectively, were constructed and transfected to B16 cells by lipofectamine kit. Positive clones were selected by G418 and observed by fluorescent microscopy and identified by RT-PCR. Results The four constructed recombinant plasmids were authenticated by restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing. Under the fluorescent microscope, the green fluorescence could be observed in cytoplasm and nucleus of four transfected B16 cell lines. The RNA extracted from positively transfected clones resistant to G418 were analyzed by RT-PCR, which demonstrated the presence of four expected fragments. Conclusions The transfected murine cell lines B16 can express HPV6bE6,HPV6bE7,HPV11E6 and HPV11E7 gene. These transfected cell lines can be further transplanted to mice in order to investigate the biological properties and immunological mechanisms of these genes in vivo.

OBJECTIVESTo evaluate the clinical application of one-stage repair of hypospadias using pedicled penis and scrotal septal symphysis skin flap.

METHODSOne hundred and forty-nine cases of hypopadias were treated with the skin flap and followed up.

RESULTSAfter the operation, one hundred and twenty-two cases of patients obtained satisfactory outcomes, twenty-seven cases happened urethral leakage and preputial uredema were observed, and three cases suffered from urethral-skin fistula.

CONCLUSIONSThis technique was an optimal choice to penis hypospadias, Penoscrotal hypospadias and light-duty scrotal hypospadias. It was simple and convenient and could prevent infection but manage of drain must be done postoperatively.
