Objective To evaluate the methods,applicability and results of cndovascular therapy for Stanford type B aortic dissection.Methods The clinical data of 36 cases of Stanford type B aortic dissection were analysed retrospectively.The stent-grafts were introduced via femoral arteriotomy.Stent-grafts were implanted to blockade tears of aortic dissection under the guidance of DSA.Results In all cases,the aortic dissection tears were blockaded,true lumens were opened,and organs function was restored.There were not complications such as internal hemorrhage due to trauma or stent displacement on CTA 3 and 12 months after endovascular therapywhile 2 cases developed new tears.The caliber of the 36 true lumens was restored to near normal.Twenty-two pseudocoeloms were obliterated,while the others were reduced is size and had varying degrees of thrombosis.Conclusions Endovascular thcrapy is safe and effectivc for the patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection.Its clinical application has a favorable outlook.

In MAST (mRNA accessible site tagging),the DNA tags from synthesized library were employed for identifying mRNA accessible sites. A large number of tags were amplified and subcloned for sequencing to verify mRNA binding profiles. A PCR was designed by using one primer which bridges over the tag terminal sequences. In PCR reaction DNA tag fragments were concatemerized by a bridge primer in reaction cycles. The concatemerized tag fragments were subcloned and sequenced. Dozens of the concatemerized sequences contained thousands tags. The PCR was a simple,effective way which for sequencing tags in a high through put manner.

Objective: To explore the sensitization effects of resveratrol on CNE2 nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line with hypoxia-induced chemotherapy resistance and the potential mechanism. Methods: Human CNE2 nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line was cultured under hypoxic conditions (37 degrees centigrade, 5% CO(2), 2% O(2)) in vitro. The cultured cells were treated with different concentrations of resveratrol for 48 h. Reversal fold (RF) of reseratrol to chemotherapeutic drugs in CNE2 cells was measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Apoptotic rate of CNE2 cells was observed by flow cytometry. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method and Western blotting were used to investigate the expressions of multidrug resistance gene 1 (mdr1), multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) and hypoxia inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha) in CNE2 cells. Results: Resveratrol combined with chemotherapeutics produced a synergistic effect. The RF of 200 alphamol/L resveratrol to paclitaxel was 2.58. Combined with paclitaxel, 25, 50, 100 and 200 alphamol/L of resveratrol increased the apoptotic rate of CNE2 cells from (22.14+/-1.09)% to (23.24+/-1.37)%, (27.57+/-2.01)%, and (30.36+/-2.31)%, respectively. Resveratrol could down-regulate the expressions of HIF-1alpha, mdr1 and MRP1 significantly. After being treated with resveratrol at different concentrations separately, the expressions of HIF-1alpha, mdr1 and MRP1 in CNE2 cells decreased significantly as compared with paclitaxel alone or paclitaxel plus verapamil (P<0.01). Conclusion: Resveratrol can enhance the sensitivity of CNE2 cells to chemotherapeutic drugs under hypoxia. The potential mechanism is partly attributed to inhibiting the gene expressions of HIF-1alpha, mdr1 and MRP1.

Objective To find out the causes of the failure of the replanted finger and to increase the survival rate of replantation.Methods The trauma,operation condition and nursing care after operation of the 24 failure cas- es of 31 replantation of severed fingers that have been treated in this hospital from January 1999 to December 2006 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of the 31 necrotic fingers,there were 21 necrotic fingers caused by untimely treatment of vascular articulo,7 by infection,1 by smoking and 2 by uncooperative treatment because of out-of-bed activity.There were 9 replantation of fingers loss of blood supply in one day,12 fingers from one day to three days, 8 fingers from four days to seven days,2 fingers more than nine days.Conclusion The operation indication should be strictly mastered.There should be a complete debridement and haemostasis during the operation,the quality of vascular anastomose should be improved and the pressure of the anastomosing vascular should be avoided.Strict ob- servation after operation,intensive nursing and timely treatment of vascular articulo are the key factors for improving the survival rate of replantation of severed finger.

Objective To study correlation between MRI signal intensity of the lumbar intervertebral disc and collagen content in the nucleus pulposus.Methods Thirty-one cases with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation(male 21,female 10)received percutaneous lumbar disketetomy.Thirty-one specimens of nucleous pulposus were obtained from percutaneous lumbar disketctomy procedure and collagen content in them was measured with reformed hydroxyproline measurement method.The signal intensity(SI) of lumbar intervertebral disc and cerebrospinal fluid was measured in T_2 WI sagittal image and then ratio of disc SI to cerebrospinal fluid SI was calculated.The Pearson analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the collagen content and SI ratio and disc SI on T_2 WI.Results Collagen content and SI ratio were (231.0?63.5)mg/g and 0.19?0.07,respectively.There was negative correlation between them (r=-0.61,P

OBJECTIVETo determine if double bundle hamstring autograft posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction could bring better outcomes than single bundle.

METHODSFrom June 2007 to June 2009, there were 22 subjects, including 16 male and 6 female patients with an average (37 ± 13) years old (16-54 years old) were reconstructed with single bundle PCL reconstruction (single bundle group), 24 subjects, including 18 male and 6 female patients with an average (37 ± 10) years old (17 - 52 years old) were reconstructed with double bundle PCL reconstruction (double bundle group). There were no differences between the two groups on patients' demographics and the duration from the injury to the operation (P > 0.05). Clinical outcomes, KT2000 and tunnel placements of all the patients were measured and analyzed.

RESULTSThe two groups were retrospectively studied and compared with a (29 ± 9) months (24 - 55 months) follow-up. Operation duration of double bundle group was (92 ± 8) minutes which was significantly longer than the single bundle group (78 ± 13) minutes (t = 2.474, P < 0.05). IKDC, Lysholm and Tegner scores were all significantly improved at the last follow-up of both groups (single bundle group: t = 9.578, 13.115 and 8.165, P < 0.01; double bundle group: t = 4.390, 5.522 and 4.313, P < 0.05). Post operative KT2000 side-to-side difference of the double bundle group was significantly smaller than that of the single bundle group under maximum posterior force with the knee in 90° flexion ((1.5 ± 1.5) mm vs. (4.0 ± 2.9) mm, t = 2.538, P = 0.019). There were 66.7% of the patients of double bundle group were normal which was significantly higher than 31.8% of the single bundle group on the IKDC knee examination form (χ² = 5.576, P = 0.018).

CONCLUSIONSSingle or double bundle PCL reconstruction could restore the knee's stability and function satisfied. There are no differences between two groups in clinical scores, but double group manifestes a better anterior-posterior stability.

T site polymorphism is closely related to CHD and elevated serum triglyceride and total cholesterol.

Targeting rRNA of bacteria is a new strategy for antibiotic agent development. The rRNA such as mRNA are naturally self-folded molecules which expose only limited accessible target-sites for binding. These accessible sites are pivotal for designing the effective antisense oligonucleotides, ribozymes, and DNAzymes. MAST, an RNA accessible site screening method, illustrated 6 accessible sites on 16S rRNA by immobilizing 16S rRNA and hybridizing with oligonucleotide library. 5 of the accessible sites were identified valid, and the antisense oligonucleotides targeted to which showed inhibition effectiveness on the proliferation. Among the 5 target sites, one showed the priority of accessibility. Ribozyme designed to this site showed obvious inhibition to the growth when induced expressing in the transfection E.coli.
