Objective To identify the expression differences of mircoRNA-29 b (miR-29b),microRNA? 24 (miR-24) and microRNA-200 c (miR-200c) in plasma of infants with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) and normal,and analyze its clinical significance.Methods The expression quantity of microRNAs (miR-29b,miR-24,miR-200c) in plasma of PCG group (16 cases) and normal control group (49 cases) were detected by RT-PCR,and the relationship between their expression differences and severity of disease were analyzed.The diagnostic value of miRNAs for PCG was evaluated by receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC).Results The expression quantity of miR-29b,miR-24,miR-200c in PCG group (0.31 ±0.19,0.17 ±0.16,0.55 ±0.18,respectively) were significantly lower than those in normal control group (1.18-±0.52,2.86 ±2.65,1.62 ± 0.76,respectively) (all P ＜ 0.05);The expression quantity of miR-24 and miR-29b in plasma was related to the severity of PCG,the more severe the disease,the lower the expression;ROC curve indicated that miR-24 and miR-29b had a higher diagnostic value for PCG disease than miR-200c.Conclusion Free miRNAs in plasma may be used as a new plasma markers for auxiliary diagnosis of PCG.

Objective:To explore the clinical application in urinary system stones of the inspection technologies intravenous pyelography (IVP),computer tomography urography (CTU) and magnetic resonance urography (MRU). Methods:We collected 100 cases of urinary system stones on which 80 were carried out to IVP,60 to CTU and 35 to MRU,25 patients were implemented all 3 examinations. CTU and MRU are reconstructed with multi-level reorganization (MPR),curved projection reproduction (CPR),volume reproduction (VR) and the maximum intensity projection (MIP). Results:Stones were found in 73 patients of the 80 people by IVP,the diagnosis rate is 91.3 %. Stones were found in all the 60 patients except 1 by CTU with images direct and accurate,the diagnosis rate was 98.1 %. By the MRU,stones were found in 20 of the 35 patients at a display rate of 57.1 %,with images displayed in a low stone location signal,filling defect and the hydrocele circs of renal pelvis and ureter. Conclusion:IVP is a simple method,easy-to-patient acceptance and has a high detection rate of stones; CTU has a good image quality and the detection rate is higher than the stone IVP. By combining with the original cross-sectional image,the rate of diagnosis is up to 98%; as a non-invasive and no contrast agent approach,MRU is also very important in the diagnosis of stones.

Objective To explore the value of endoscopic mini-incision greater saphenous vein harvesting for coronary artery bypass operation. Methods A total of 411 patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass operation were given either endoscopic vein harvesting(EVH Group,n=136) or open vein harvesting(OVH Group,n=275),based on patient's willingness.The operation outcomes and incision complications were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of various incision complications was significantly lower in the EVH Group(18.4%,25/136) than in the OVH Group(36.7%,101/275)(?~2=14.406,P=0.000).As compared with the OVH Group,the EVH Group had lower incidences of edema(1.5% vs 35.3%;?~2=56.861,P=0.000),paraesthesia(7.4% vs 33.8%;?~2=33.937,P=0.000),hematoma(16.2% vs 27.3%;?~2=6.214,P=0.013),and incisional liquefaction(0.7% vs 8.7%;?~2=10.174,P=0.001) of the lower extemity.The total operation time were 226.3?28.5 min in the EVH Group and 224.7?19.2 min in the OVH Group,without significant difference between the two groups(t=0.673,P=0.502).Early graft failure happened in 1 case in each of the groups,without significant difference between the two groups(?~2=0.000,P=1.000).The numbers of distal coronary anastomoses were 3.6?0.8 in the EVH Group and 3.3?1.0 in the OVH Group,with significant difference(t=3.049,P=0.002). Conclusions Endoscopic greater saphenous vein harvesting can significantly reduce the morbidity associated with incision complications,whereas does not prolong the operative time,increase the incidence of early graft failure,and decrease the number of distal coronary anastomoses.

[Summary] According to the cutpoint of plasma triglycerides concentration ≥ 1.7 mmol/L,waist circumference ≥85 cm in men or ≥80 cm in women,459 patiens with type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into four groups:normal waist circumference and triglycerides,normal waist circumference and hypertriglyceridemia,abdominal obesity and normal triglycerides,and hypertriglyceridemic-waist (HTWC) group.The results showed that body mass index,waist circumference,systolic blood pressure,triglycerides,microalbuminuria,and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) in HTWC group were higher than those in non-HTWC groups (all P＜0.01),as well as higher diabetic nephropathy incidence (P＜0.05).Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that HTWC was an independent risk factor of diabetic nephropathy (OR =2.070,95 ％ CI 1.195-3.586).

We developed a three-dimensional finite element model of the shoulder glenohumeral joint after shoulder arthroplasty including humerus shaft, scapular, scapular cartilage and eight muscles, while each of the muscles was simulated with 50 spring elements. To reduce the element number and improve the analytical precision, we used mixed tetrahedral and hexahedral elements in the model. We then used the model to calculate the biomechanics of the shoulder glenohumeral joint after hemiarthroplasty during humeral external rotation. Results showed that the maximum joint reaction force was 374.72 N and the maximum contact stress was 6. 573 MPa together with the contact areas at 40 degrees external rotation. These might be one of the reasons for prosthetic disarticulation, and would provide theoretical bases to prosthetic design.

Objective To explore the effect of negative pressure attraction method of brushing and washing apply in oral care of patients with orotracheal intubation.Methods Totals of 82 oral intubation patients in ICU were randomly selected and divided into experience group ( n =42 ) and control group ( n =40 ).The traditional method of oral care was used in control group,while the negative pressure attraction method of brushing and washing was used in experience group,then,the incidence of oral infections,ventilator-associated pneumonia( VAP),dental plaque and oral mucosal injury were observed in two groups.Results The incidence of oral infections,ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP),dental plaque in experience group respectively were 7.14％,2.38％,4.76％,and that in control group were 22.50％,15.00％,32.50％,the differences were statistically significant ( x2 =3.88,4.18,10.55,respectively; P ＜ 0.05 ),while there was no significant difference in the incidence of oral mucosal injury between two groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions The negative pressure attraction method of brushing and washing can effectively keep the oral clean of patients with orotracheal intubation,reduce the incidence of oral infections and ventilator-associated pneumonia and dental plaque,when compared with the traditional method of oral care.

The association of non-HDL-cholesterol and non-HDL-C-to-HDL-cholesterol ratio (non-HDL-C-to-HDL-C ratio) with early diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was investigated.Non-HDL-C and non-HDL-C-to-HDL-C ratio were positively related with microalbuminuria (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Non-HDL-C-to-HDL-C ratio is an independent risk factor of early diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
