AIM: To study the causes of pyogenic granuloma after hydroxyapatite(HA) orbital implants.METHODS: HA orbital implants (250 cases) in our hospital (68 pegged implants) were reviewed.All patients were followed up from 18 months to 10 years. Implants were removed after medical therapy which was proved to be ineffective.RESULTS: Ten of 250 cases of HA orbital implants developed pyogenic granuloma. Pyogenic granuloma occurred in 1 unpegged implants patient and 9 patients after pegging and drilling of HA implantation over 4～7 years. The pyogenic granulomas were not controlled by medical therapy effectively. Implants were removed in 9 cases except 1 case denied removing and continued medical therapy.CONCLUSION: Pyogenic granuloma was serious complication that occurred after HA orbital implants. Partial vascularization, implant exposure, xenogenic sclera implant, pegging and drilling of HA implantation are risk factors that affect the development of pyogenic granuloma.Pyogenic granuloma hasn't relation with implanted peg material. Pyogenic granuloma denotes the potential implant infection, and all implants should be removed finally.

Objective To observe the effects of intermittent hypoxic preconditioning on the expression of apoptosis-related Bcl-2 and Bax protein after 70％ hepatectomy combined with ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods A total of fifty-four SD rats were randomly divided into three groups (n =18).Partial hepatectomy hroup (PH Group):Rats underwent the left and middle lobectomy of liver(70％ hepatectomy).Ischemia reperfusion group (IR group):The left and middle lobes of liver were resected during the occlusion of the hepatoduodenal ligament for 20 minutes.Residual liver underwent the process of ischemia-reperfusion.Intermittent hypoxia preconditioning group (IHP group):rats were exposed to hypoxic environment of 10％ oxygen for 1 h/d.After 7 consecutive days,the left and middle lobes of liver were resected under the portal triad clamping.At 12,24 and 48 hours after the operation,the rats were killed and detected.The serum levels of ALT and AST were determined by automatic biochemical analyzer.The expression of Bcl-2 and Bax protein in liver tissue were measured by immunohistochemistry.Results At each time point after surgery,the serum levels of ALT and AST in IR group and IHP group were higher than that of PH group,and IHP group were lower than in IR group.Compared with IR group,the expression of Bcl2 protein significantly increased and Bax protein expression significantly decreased in IHP group.All these differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Intermittent hypoxic preconditioning might protect residual liver against ischemia reperfusion injury,through increasing the expression of Bcl-2 protein and reducing the expression of Bcl-2 protein to decrease liver cell apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of intermittent hypoxic preconditioning on residual liver regeneration after parital hepatectomy in rats.Methods Fifty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (each group contained eighteen animals):sham operation group (SO group),parital hepatectomy group (PH group)and intermittent hypoxic preconditioning group (IHP group).The rats in PH group underwent the left and middle lobectomy of liver(70％ hepatectomy).The rats in IHP group were exposed to hypoxic environment of 10％ oxygen for 1 h/d.And after a week,the rats underwent parital hepatectomy.Six rats in each group were sacrificed respectively on postoperative day 1,3 and 5 (POD 1,3 and 5).The resected liver and the regenerated liver were weighed to calculate liver regeneration degree and regeneration index.The values of alaninea minotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the inferior vena venous blood were examined by automatic biochemical analyzer.The positive ratio of hepatocellular proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in the residual liver was investigated immunohistochemically.Results The degree and index of liver regeneration in IHP group were respectively higher than those in PH group on POD 1 and 3(P ＜0.05),but there were no statistical differences between the two groups on POD 5.The levels of ALT and AST in PH and IHP group began to decline after surgery,but they remined higher than those in SO group.Moreover,the ALT and AST levels in IHP group were significantly lower than those in PH group on POD 1 (P ＜0.05).The positive ratios of hepatocellular PCNA were respectively higher than those in SO and PH group on POD 1,3 and 5 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions To some extent,preoperative intermittent hypoxic preconditioning could prevent hepatocellular damage after parital hepatectomy,what is more,it also could promote the remnant liver regeneration.But the mechanism still needs to be studied furter.

Objective To preliminarily evaluate the value of color power doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of sacroiliitis in ankylosing spondylitis(AS). Methods Fifty-seven sacroiliac joints in 31 patients with active AS and 40 sacroiliac joints in 20 volunteers were detected by color power doppler ultrasonography.The color flow signs inside the sacroiliac joints were observed,and the resistance index(RI) was measured. Results In active AS,color flow signs were seen in 55 joints,and the mean RI value was 0.53?0.08 in 45 joints,while the other 10 color flow signs represented reversed phase in diastolic phase on pulse doppler ultrasonography.In the volunteers,color flow signs were seen in 16 joints,and the mean RI value was 0.97?0.01 in 6 joints,while the other 10 color flow signs represented reversed phase in diastolic phase on pulse doppler ultrasonography. Conclusion The abnormal flow signs at the sacroiliac joints can be detected by color power doppler ultrasonography.Low RI values provide diagnosis evidence for active AS.

Objective To observe the effects of intermittent hypoxic preconditioning on the expression of apoptosis-related EPO after 70％ hepatectomy combined with ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods One hundred and twenty healthy SD rats of clean grade,simple random divided into 3 groups:Sham operation group of 40 rats ; Pure major hepatic resection group was 40 (Major hepatectomy,MH),namely in the hepatic portal blocking liver resection of the left and middle lobes,hepatic portal blocking 20 min ; intermittent hypoxia preconditioning group 40 (Intermittent hypoxia preconditioning,IHP group).Results MH group,S group,IHP group,EPO level in three experimental groups in postoperative residual liver tissue in rats with significant difference (P ＜ 0.05),Intermittent hypoxia preconditioning group of residual liver EPO content was significantly higher than that of simple hepatic resection group 40.Conclusion Intermittent hypoxia preconditioning can promote the expression of residual liver after hepatectomy in EPO.
