Objective To compare the clinical data of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers and chronic hepatitis B so that to provide pathological evidence for management of chronic HBV carriers with different alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels.MethodsLiver biopsies were performed in totally of 292 cases of chronic HBV infection.The subjects were divided into HBV carrier group (G0-G1 and S0-S1) and hepatitis group (G＞ 1 and/or S＞ 1) according to the pathological diagnosis. The relationships between different age subgroups, different ALT level subgroups and pathological diagnosis were analyzed. Meanwhile,other clinical,biochemical,and iconographic indexes which were possibly related to the pathology diagnosis were compared. The multivariate analysis was done by Logistic regression equation (withdrawal method, maximum likelihood method) to definite the independent influencing factors of pathologically diagnosed with chronic HBV carrier.ResultsAmong the 292 patients,140 (47.9％) were pathologically diagnosed with chronic HBV carries and 152 (52.1％)were chronic hepatitis B. There were statistical differences between ≤35 years group and 36-40 years,＞40 years group (x2 =3.936 and 8.534,respectively; P =0.047 and 0.003,respectively). There were statistical difference among patients with ALT＜0.5×upper limit normal (ULN),(0.5-1.0) ×ULN,(1.1-1.5) ×ULN,(1.6-2.0) ×ULN and ＞2.0 × ULN (x2 =55.314,P＜0.01),while there was no significant difference between (1.1-1.5) × ULN and ＞2.0 × ULN (x2 =3.810,P=0.051). Multivariate analysis indicated that course of disease,alcohol consumption,ALT,HBV DNA level and the surface of liver (smooth or not smooth)detected by ultrasonography were independent influencing factors of pathological diagnosis of chronic HBV carriers (OR =0.995,0.224,0.516,1.308 and 0.270,respectively; P=0.005,0.007,0.000,0.025 and 0.001,respectively).ConclusionLiver biopsy is much meaningful in patients with age ＞35 years old and ALT (1-2)× ULN.

Objective:To identify the normal position of the root tips of lower premolars, first and second molars, the distances through 3-D reconstruction in 100 cases of general population were measured. Methods: The three distances were measured from 100 cases over 17 years old, divided by gender: 1. The distance of Mandible of the Centre (M) under the jaw to the lower edge of the next point (L);2. The distance of Mandible of the Centre (M) and M points to the horizon at the same point of the buccal (O);3. The distance of Mandible of the Centre (M) and M to the point in the same horizontal line at the side of the tongue(I). Results: The second premolar root tip of the jaw bone under the margin of the thick wall, the wall thickness of tongue in cheek bone lateral side of the wall in the first and second molars, the lower edge of the mandible bone wall, the tongue side of the wall, cheek bone side walls were thicker through 3-D reconstruction measurement than in normal way.Cheek bone was much thicker than the tongue side of the wall. Conclusion: The way of identifying the normal lower in the second premolar and the first and second molar root tip through the three distances by 3-D reconstruction will give us lots of help, such as: Orthognathic operation of the mandible sagittal split SSRO, scaling of cysts, planting of a certain theoretical basis for scientific research and teaching to provide a realistic and practical method.

Objective To investigate the effects of exogenous glial cell derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)on colon glial cells in slow transit constipation (STC ) rats,and to explore the optimal concentration of GDNF in order to provide evidence for intestinal neurotrophic therapy in the treatment of STC.Methods A total of 132 SD rats were divided into STC group and control group,66 rats in each group.STC rats were established by feeding with rhubarb.Six rats were randomly selected from either groups to verify whether STC model was successfully established.And the left 120 rats of two groups were randomly divided into six subgroups:STC group one to group six and control group one to group six,ten rats in each group,which were untreated,injected through tail vein with saline,and 0.001 ,0.010, 0.050,0.100 μg/L GDNF 2 mL respectively for one week.The expression of Sox-8 at protein level of either group were detected by Western blotting.Independent sample t test was performed for statistical analysis.Results After treated with 0.001 μg/L GDNF (STC group three),there was no significant
difference in expression level of Sox-8 between STC group three and STC group one (13.38 ±0.70 vs 13.39±0.45 ,t = 0.042,P = 0.969 ).After treated with 0.010 μg/L GDNF (STC group four),the difference in expression level of Sox-8 between STC group four and STC group three was significant (21 .11 ±2.56 vs 13.38±0.70,t=5 .040,P <0.01).After treated with 0.050 μg/mL GDNF (STC group five),the expression level of Sox-8 was higher than that in STC group four (31.86±1.57 vs 21.11±2.56,t=-6.198,P <0.01 ).The Sox-8 expression of untreated,saline treated,0.001 and 0.050 μg/L GDNF treated STC rats (STC group one,two,three and five)were lower than those of the corresponding control groups (t= 3.394,12.103,10.302,- 6.120,all P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Exogenous GDNF could increase Sox-8 expression in colon tissue of STC rats,an increase in the number of colon glial cells could repair enteric nervous system,and 0.050 μg/L was the optimal concentration.

The case of long-term complicated infectious mass on the inner thigh root after transobturator urethral sling is rare. This paper reported a case, who underwent a surgery of the "trans-obturator mid-urethral slings" for stress urinary incontinence 9 years ago. A mass on the root of the right thigh was found 3 months ago, accompanied with low fever. About 1cm tape was exposed on the front wall of the right side of the vagina. The patient underwent resection of the mass on the root of the right thigh and partial removal of the tape under spinal anesthesia. After one year’ follow-up, there was no significant change in urinary control ability compared with that before the operation.

Objective: To investigate the free radical scavenging properties of six aloe species and study its protective effect on red blood cells. Methods: Free radical scavenging properties were investigated in modified chemical system. The antioxidant was purified by silica column and thin layer chromatography and analyzed by HPLC. Its protection on red blood cells was studied with red blood cells culture system in vitro. Results: The extract from A. berebihoria showed the most effective scavenging activities on O - 2? and ?OH (32.19% and 26.05% respectively) in six aloe species. The fraction A with a Rf value of 0 497 was proved to be a pure antioxidant (Rt=15.956 min). It is an anthraquinone with phenol hydroxyls. Fraction A showed strong inhibitory activity on H 2O 2 induced hemolysis of red blood cells and its IC 50 was 0.856 g/L. Conclusion: Fraction A of the extract from A. berebihoria had strong scavenging activities of O - 2? and ?OH, thereby inhibiting the peroxidation of red blood cells and maintaining their functions.

ObjectiveTo identify the differential expressed proteins,and to investigate the relationship between altered expression of annexin A4 during window of implantation [ WOI ( at day-6 after ovulatory day )] in infertile patients with endometriosis and endometrial receptivity.MethodsTwo-dimensional fluorescence differential in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and matrix-assist laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) were used to detect protein expression in endometrial WOI in 10 infertile cases with endometriosis as endometriosis group and 10 infertile cases with tubal factors as control group.The semi-quantitative validation of annexin A4 in the eutopic endometrial tissue during WOI was analyzed by western blot.Results By comparing protein profiles,there were 7 meaningful differential proteins during WOI in infertile patients with endometriosis.One protein with an isoelectric point of 5.84 and relative molecular weight of 36 100 were down regulated 348％ in samples of endometriosis group.It was identified as annexin A4 by mass spectrometry.By western blot,relative intensity of annexin A4 in endometriosis group was 7.2 ±0.9,which was lower than 17.8 ± 2.6 in control group significantly (t =7.654,P =0.002 ).ConclusionLower expresssion of annexin A4 during WOI in infertile patients with endometriosis might be associated with the decrease of endometrial receptivity.

Objective To compare proximal femoral nail(PFN)introduction by percutaneous K-wire through a small incision with conventional PFN introduction protocol in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. Methods From January 2004 to March 2005,51 patients with intertrochanteric fractures were randomly dis- tributed into a minimally invasive treatment group(group MI)and a conventional treatment group(group C).All the fractures were closely reduced.In group MI a K-wire was percutaneously inserted through the tip of the greater troehanter into the center of medullary canal of the pruximal femur before the PFN was inserted under the guidance of K-wire through a small incision made along the K-wire while in group C the PFN was introduced according to the conventional procedure.The operation time,intra-operative blood loss,length of incision,X-ray exposure,duration of in-patient stay and time of bone union in both groups were recorded and compared.Results The mean oper- ation time,mean intraoperative blood loss and mean length of incisions in group MI were 77.20 min,104.20 mL and 5.12 cm respectively and significantly lower than those in group C(P＜0.01).The X-ray exposure and the reduction time in group MI lasted longer than in group C(P＜0.01).The mean time of bone union and in-patient stay in both groups were nearly equal(P＞0.05).At the latest tollow-up,all the fractures united in both groups without nonuuion or delayed union.Conclusion Compared with the conventional protocol,introduction of PFN by a pereutaneuus K-wire inserted into the central medullary canal of the proximal femur is much more minimally in- vasive and effective.

Objective:To investigate the effect of continuous blood purification on the expression of cytokines in pig lungs during MODS.Methods:Twenty-five pigs were randomly divided into model group,control group and high volume hemofiltration(HVHF) group.Blood bio-chemical and organ function indexes were determined.Real-time quantitative PCR was used to determine the expression level of IL-6 mRNA and IL-8 mRNA and TNF-? mRNA. Results:After HVHF,the serum chemical and organ-function indexes were improved and the morbidity and mortality of MODS were much lower than those in model group.The expression level of IL-6 mRNA and IL-8 mRNA and TNF-? mRNA in the lung were reduced significantly compared with model group.And the expression level of cytokines associated mRNA in the lungs was interrelated with the rate of respiratory failure. Conclusion:HVHF could decrease the over-expression of cytokine mRNA in the lung after trauma when used at early period so that pulmonary function would be improved.
