BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that umbilical cord blood stem cel transplantation promote the recovery of spinal cord injury, and electroacupuncture also can inhibit the proliferation of astrocytes to reduce damage to scar formation, suggesting that a combination of umbilical cord blood stem cel transplantation and electroacupuncture may play an important role in the treatment of acute spinal cord injuries. OBJECTIVE:To observe the influence of transplantation of human umbilical cord blood stem cels combined with electroacupuncture at theDu channel on expression of nerve growth factor and neurotrophin 3 in rats with spinal cord injuries. METHODS: Seventy-two female Sprague-Dawlay rats were randomly divided into control group, injury group, transplantation group and combined therapy group. In the control group, only an incision on the back was sutured;in the injury group, a piece of saline-infiltrated gelatin sponge, 1 mm×2 mm×2 mm, was placed into the transected spinal cord at T10 level; in the transplantation group and combined therapy group, a piece of gelatin sponged infiltrated in the suspension of human umbilical cord blood stem cels was placed into the transected spinal cord, respectively, and then, electroacupuncture stimulation at the Duchannel was performed in the combined therapy group at 1 hour after modeling. Specimens were taken at 7, 14, 28 days after modeling in each group, and then immunohistochemistry, western blot and real time-PCR methods were used to detect the expression of nerve growth factor and neurotrophin 3. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the transplantation group, the expression of nerve growth factor and neurotrophin 3 was lower in the injury group but higher in the combined therapy group at 7, 14, 28 days after modeling (P < 0.05). The results of western blot and real time-PCR were consistent with those of immunohistochemical detection. Findings show that human umbilical cord blood stem cel transplantation combined with electroacupuncture has a remarkable synergistic effect in the treatment of spinal cord injury that can significantly up-regulate the expression of nerve growth factor and neurotrophin 3, and contribute to injured spinal cord repair, regeneration and functional recovery after spinal cord injury.

Objective To present our experience of dealing with complete penile amputation.Methods Two cases of penile complete amputation were reported.The first case was a 34-year-old man,suffered amputation of the penis approximately 2.5 cm distal from the pubic area with a sharp knife.3.5hours later,the patient was transferred to our hospital.The urethra mucosa and corpus spongiosum were anastomosed.The cavernous body of the penis was reattached by suturing the tunics albuginea of each corpus cavernosum to the corresponding proximal segment.One dorssl artery,two dorsal veins,and dorsal nerve were anastomosed under a 10 × microscope with interrupted 9-0 nylon nonabsorbable sutures.The second case was a 25-year-old man,presented to the emergency room 15 hours after distal penile amputation,which had 2 wounds as a result of self-mutilation caused by psychiatric problems.The urethra mucosa and corpus spongiosum were anastomosed.The cavernous body of the penis was reattached by suturing the tunics albuginea of each corpus cavemosum to the corresponding proximal segment using 4-0 polyglactic acid sutures.Results In the first case,the tourniquet was released after replantation,and the distal penis appeared to revascularize,as noted by the gradual increase in redness and size.An arterial pulse was detected,and the superficial penile veins displayed normal turgor,and no bleeding was found.On postoperative day 3,the penile skin started to necrotize.On day 12,the necrotic skin was superficially debrided,and a fistula was observed in the corresponding urethral segment.Two weeks later,the fistula was sutured with 4-0 interrupted synthetic absorbable suture,and a transposition flap to embed the whole injured penis shaft was created from the proximal scrotal skin.The glans was exposed.Two months after the second operation,the embedded penis was released from the scrotum.After follow-up of two years,the patient had glans re-epithelialization with normal voiding,sensation,and erections.In the second case,the glans was still pink,but the penile skin started to necrotize on postoperative day 3.On day 14,serious infections were noted,the necrotic skin was superficially debrided,and the amputated penis was relieved.Conclusions Prompt diagnosis and early treatment are essential to avoid the potential complications of ischemic necrosis and autoamputation.Venous outflow is a critical factor for success of replantation.Microsurgical reanastomosing of the dorsal penile vein,penile arteries,and dorsal nerves can be identified as the standard method for penile replantation.The bipedicled scrotal flap can provide adequate skin cover for penis defects.

BACKGROUND: With conversion of medical patterns and revolution of healthy concept, temperament, psychological health and behavior become key topics for child care and are paid more and more attention nowadays.OBJECTIVE: To survey the status quo of psychological and behavior problems and distribution of temperamental types through questionnaire for children in Guiyang.DESIGN: Randomized cluster sampling and cross-sectional study.SETTING: Guiyang Institute for Mother and Child Health.PARTICIPANTS: Twelve settings were randomly selected from 33 duty units for child care in Guiyang. Children aged 1-6 years suffered from health check at survey stage, and those with severe body diseases and abnormal intelligence were excluded.METHODS: Problems of psychological health and behavior and distribution of temperamental types for children were surveyed with self-made psychological health scale, Chinese temperament scale for 1-3-year children,Chinese temperament scale for 3-7-year children, behavior scale for 2-3-year children and Achenbach's children behavior scale standardized by Shanghai Mental Health Center. All questionnaires were answered by parents and taken back on the spot. After 2-4 weeks, several children were randomly selected to refill in the questionnaires mentioned above to measure reliability again.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Status quo of psychological and behavior problems, distribution of temperamental types and effect of social environment on temperament and behavior.RESULTS: ① Distribution of temperamental types was divided into easy nurture, difficult nurture, nearly easy nurture, nearly difficult nurture and slow development, and the percentage was 35.58%, 4.21%, 39.70%, 7.37%and 13.14%. ② Total ratio of psychological problems was 94.50%, and ratios of children in various temperamental types were 98.91%, 97.26%,96.19%, 94.05% and 93.13% (P ＜ 0.01). ③ Total ratio of behavior problems was 19.57%, and ratios of children in various temperamental types were 31.76%, 26.69%, 22.58%, 21.33% and 12.72% (P ＜ 0.01). Temperamental types and behavior problems were related to living condition, educational level of parents, marriage, supervised attitude, paternity, pregnant nutrien, illness and infirmarian, especially temperament was closely related with psychological and behavior problems.CONCLUSION: Psychological and behavior problems wildly exist among children in Guiyang and should be paid much attention. Fine personality of children can be molded through reforming relevant factors so as to decrease the incidence of psychological and behavior problems.

Objective To observe the influence of Huiyang Shengji Ointment and its modified formulae on interleukin-1 (IL-1α) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) in diabetic rats with chronic skin ulcers, and explore the mechanism for promoting the healing of ulcer.Methods Six out of 160 rats were randomly selected as a blank group, without any further processing. The remaining rats were made diabetic model and randomly divided into five groups after 2 weeks:1 d, 3 d, 5 d, 7 d and 14 d groups. Then, these groups were further divided into normal group (Vaseline ointments), model group (Vaseline ointments), Huiyang Shengji Ointment group (whole formula Ointment), Wenyang Yiqi group (Yiqi group, modified Wenyang Yiqi formula ointments) and Huoxue Shengji group (Huoxue group, modified Huoxue Shengji formula ointments). Normal group and model group were given Vaseline ointments;whole formula group, Yiqi group and Huoxue group were given corresponding ointment. Normal group used the method of skin excision, while other groups used STZ injection-hydrocortisone interference-skin excision-foreign body embedded preparation of composite factors for chronic skin ulcer model. After the appropriate treatment period, the rats were executed and tested for the contents of IL-1α and TXB2 in serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of five time points.Results In treatment 3 d, the contents of IL-1α in Yiqi group were significantly higher than the blank group, model group, whole formula group and Huoxue group (P<0.05). In treatment 5 d, the contents of IL-1α in whole formula group were significantly higher than the blank group and model group (P<0.05). In treatment 7 d, the contents of IL-1α in each treatment group were significantly higher than blank group and model group (P<0.05), and the whole formula group was higher than the Yiqi group and Huoxue group. In treatment 14 d, the contents of IL-1α in model group and Huoxue group were lower than the blank group (P<0.05). In treatment 3 d, the contents of TXB2 in normal group and the whole formula group were higher than the blank group (P<0.05). In treatment 5 d, the contents of TXB2 in whole formula group were higher than the blank group and the normal group (P<0.05). In treatment 7 d, the contents of TXB2 in Yiqi group were higher than the blank, the model, the whole formula and Huoxue groups (P<0.05). In treatment 14 d, the contents of TXB2 in Huoxue group were higher than the blank and model group (P<0.05), and the contents of TXB2 in the blank group and normal group was lower than those treatment groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Huiyang Shengji Ointment and its modified formulae could promote inflammation, stimulate secretion of inflammatory cytokines, while Yiqi Wenyang ointments played a more active role in promoting inflammation of the early phase of wound surface.
