Objective To explore the feasibility and evaluate its efficacy of transnasal marsupialization of maxillary cyst under nasal endoscope. Methods 15 cases of maxillary cyst were treated by endoscopic marsupialization in nasal. According to the situation of maxillary cysts, the fenestration of bottom nasal was opened in 6 cases, the fenestration of inferior nasal meatus was opened in 7 cases and inferior nasaI meatus was opened through the prelacrimal duct recess in 2 cases under the nasal endoscope. With partial removal of the cyst wall, the cyst and maxillary sinus was fused into a cavity if necessary. This ensured nasal drainage through the cyst cavity and nasal cavity or maxillary sinus. Results The operations of the 15 patients were success without complications. All patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months after operation. Operation cavity to complete epithelization in 2 to 3 months, the cyst cavity drained well with no recurrence. Conclusion Endoscopic marsupialization in nasal is a feasible alternative for management maxillary cyst. It makes the procedure simple, less traumatic, quick recovery, definite curative effect and low recurrence rate.

Objective To evaluate the role of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) in spinal cord in a rat model of neuropathic pain.Methods One hundred and eighty male Wistar rats weighing 180-220 g were randomly divided into 4 groups( n =45 each): sham operation group(group S),neuropathic pain group (group NP),siRNA negative control group (group NS) and PARP1-siRNA group (group PS).Neuropathic pain was produced by L5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL).Viral of PARP1-siRNA or viral of siRNA negative control was injected intrathecally after SNL in groups PS or NS.Mechanical pain threshold was determined at 3,7 and 14 d after SNL.Then the rats were sacrificed and L5 lumbar spinal tissues were removed for determination of coexpression of PARP1 with glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (by immunohistochemistry double stain),protein expression of PARP1 and GFAP (by Western blot),and mRNA expression of PARP1 and GFAP (by RT-PCR).Results Compared with group S,mechanical pain threshold was significantly decreased and the protein and mRNA expression of GFAP and PARP1 up-regulated in groups NP,NS and PS( P ＜ 0.05).Compared with groups NP and NS,mechanical pain threshold was significantly increased and the protein and mRNA expression of GFAP and PARP1 down-regulated in group PS (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in above indexes between groups NP and NS(P ＞0.05 ).PARR1 was expressed in the astrocytes in the spinal cord.Conclusion PARP1 is involved in the formation and maintainance of neuropathic pain in rats via activating astrocytes.

Objective To explore the effect of black garlic extract on HeLa cells and its possible molecular mechanisms.Methods Inhibitory rate of HeLa cells was detected with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT).Flow cytometry annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide (V-FITC/PI) was used to detect tumor cell apoptosis.Flow cytometry was used to measure cell-cycle changes.Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect expressions of tumor proteins bax and Bcl-2.Results Black garlic extract significantly inhibited the growth of HeLa cells.Black garlic extract significantly induced apoptosis of HeLa cells.The apoptosis rate was (53.26 ± 1.78)％ in the black garlic high-dose group,and (3.68 ±0.11)％ in the control group.Black garlic extract affected cell cycle,upregulated bax expression,and downregulated bcl-2 expression.Conclusions Black garlic extract significantly induced the apoptosis of HeLa cells.This effect might be caused through increasing G2/M cells or changing expressions of bax and bcl-2.

Objective To analyze the complete genome sequence of a Shenzhen coxsackievirus A2 strain CVA2-SHZH13-01 and its evolution.Methods RT-PCR was used to amplify the complete genome of CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain.The PCR products were purified and sequenced to analyze their genetic character-istics.Results The complete genome of CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain was 7400 bp in length, encoding 2191 amino acids.CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain was highly similar with the novel recombinant CVA2-HK (431306) strain isolated from Hong Kong sharing the nucleotide homology of 98.3%, 98.8%, 99.0%, 99.2%, 98.8%and 98.9%in 5′UTR, P1 ( VP1 to VP4) , P2, P3, 3′UTR regions and complete genome, respec-tively.CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain was highly identical to the international standard strain CVA2-Fleetwood showing the homology of 81.6% in nucleotide sequences in P1 region, but closely associated with EV71-SHZH03 and EV71-GD2009 strains (82.8%-88.7%) in P2 and P3 regions.The phylogenetic analysis in-dicated that CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain belonged to the CVA2-HK (431306) variant.Data from analysis of amino acid in P1 region showed that there were three amino acid mutations in CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain including aa5L→F, aa666S→G and aa671T→I as compared with CVA2-HK (431306) strain.Conclusion CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain belonged to CVA2-HK (431306) variant.

Objective To investigate the result of local injection of growth differentiation factor-5 (GDF-5) and fibrin gel for treatment of lumbar disc injury in rabbits.Methods Lumbar puncture with a 20-gauge needle was performed at L3/4,L4/5,and L5/6 discs of 40 New Zealand white rabbits.After needle puncture,L3/4 discs were injected with GDF-5 and fibrin gel (compound group) ; L4/5 discs fibrin gel (fibrin gel group) ; L5/6 discs nothing (blank control group).Two weeks later,intervertebral disc degeneration in each group was observed via radiography,MRI and nucleus proteoglycan content detection and histological examination.Results At postoperative 2-,4-,8-,and 12-weeks,X-ray films revealed a gradual decrease in disc height index (DHI) among the three groups,but the decreasing velocity was lower in compound group than in other two groups (P ＜ 0.05).On MRI,the signal of intervebral discs among the three groups diminished progressively with time,but a relatively lower decreasing was observed in compound group (P ＜ 0.05).At postoperative 4-week,proteoglycan content of the nucleus pulposus was (6.3-± 0.4) in compound group,higher than (5.9-0.4) in blank control group and (5.8-± 0.3)in fibrin gel group (P ＜0.05).At postoperative 2-week,histological evaluation showed (5.28 ±0.41)points in compound group,lower than (7.54 ± 0.53) points in blank control group and (7.21 ± 0.44)points in fibrin gel group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Local injection of GDF-5 and fibrin gel facilitates the restoration of the injured discs and delays further disc degeneration.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) and Quadrant minimally invasive system in treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods 59 single-level LDH patients were randomly divided into PTED group (n = 31) and Quadrant group (n = 28). Then compare the operative time, incision length, blood loss, length of hospital stay, and the return-to-work time between the two groups. In addition, visual analogue scale (VAS), Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA), Oswestry disability index (ODI), and modified MacNab criteria were used for surgical efficacy evaluation. Results In PTED group, compared with Quadrant group, we observed, shorter incision length, less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and shorter time of returning to work (P < 0.05), postoperative VAS, JOA and ODI scores had been improved in both groups (P < 0.05). The PTED group had lower VAS scores of lumbago at 3 days and 1, 3 months postoperatively (P < 0.05). As for postoperative JOA and ODI score, no notable difference was found between the two groups at each corresponding follow-up time point (P > 0.05). According to the improved MacNab criteria, there was no significant difference in excellent or good rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion The clinical results of PTED and Quadrant minimally invasive system in treatment of lumbar disc herniation were satisfactory, and PTED were less traumatic method with rapid recovery.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of pingyangmycin (PYM) injection on infantile hemangioma located in the parotid gland region. Methods Twelve patients were treated by intralesional injection of PYM. When necessary, the injections were repeated at an interval of one week, but not more than 3-4 sessions within a therapeutic period. Normally, the secondary therapeutic period was performed 1 month later. The general and local adverse responses were recorded and the clinical outcomes were assessed with a follow-up of 1 to 3 years. Results Complete clinical resolutions were achieved in 10 patients. 2 patients received one injection, 3 patients received 2 injections, 3 patients received 3 injections, and 2 patients received 4 injections. The remaining 2 patients with partial resolution received 6 and 7 injections respectively. No clinical recurrence was observed during the follow-up of 1 to 3 years. No ulcerations or postoperative sears in injection regions were presented. The function of facial nerve was remained normality in all patients. The systematic side effects included transient pyrexia and poor appetite appeared in partial patients. No allergy cases were found. Conclusion Treatment of infantile hemangioma located in parotid gland region with PYM injection reveals a high rate of complete clinical resolution, with fair cosmetic results and short treatment time, and it does not damage the facial nerve or form local scar.The treatment time of PYM injection seems to be positively related to size of the lesions.
