Objective To explore the expressions of apoptosis gene Bcl-2 (B-cell leukemia-2) and Bad (bcl-xl/bcl-2-associated death promoter) in lung tissue of mice with acute lung injury (ALI). Method Twenty-four BALB/C female mice were randomly divided into control saline group (n = 6) and ALI group (n = 18). The ALI Group was further divided into 3 subgroups with 6 mice in each subgroup: ALI (4 h) ,ALI (6h) ,and ALI (8h) subgroups. Rats in the normal control group received injection of saline. The ALI models were produced by in-jection of oleic acid (0.9 mL/kg) via vena caudalis, and the criteria were met with the characteristically pathologi-cal changes in the lung tissue. Pathological changes of the lung tissue were examined and scored under light mi-croscopy 4 h,6 h and 8 hours after injury. The expressions of gene Bcl-2 and gene Bad were detected in lung tissue at above set intervals by using RT-PCR. Data of these assays were analyzed by using one-way ANOVA with SPSS version 13.0 software. Statistical significance was established at a P value of less than 0.05. Results The rela-tive magnitude of Bel-2 expression in ALI (4 h), ALI (6 h) and ALI (8 h) subgroups were significantly higher (58.00±5.31), (42.00±4.30), (32.51±10.40) as compared with the control group (24.30±1.00) (F =68.581, P < 0.05). The relative magnitude of Bad expressions in ALI (4 h), ALI(6 h) and ALI (8 h) sub-groups were signiticantly higher (29.32±1.19), (58.64±4.45), (95.12±4.34)as compared with control group (4.01±0.34) (F = 386.902,P < 0.05). The pathological scores ofhmg injury in ALI(4h), ALI (6 h) and ALI (8 h) subgroups were significantly higher (1.82±0.14), (2.52±0.25), (3.45±0.29) as compared with control group (0.27±0.03) (F = 260. 512, P <0.05). Comparisons between groups showed statistical signifi-cances (P < 0.05). Conclusions The aggravation of lung injury induced by oleic acid in mice related to the down-regulation of apoptosis gene Bcl-2 expression and up-regulating apoptosis gene Bad expression in lung tissue.

BACKGROUND:Because of osteoporosis, short-segment transpedicular fixation or screw-rod system fixation is prone to screw loosening depending on its poor anti-pul-out strength in patients with thoracolumbar fracture with ankylosing spondylitis.
OBJECTIVE:To probe the clinic outcomes of multi-segment transpedicle spinal fixation for thoracolumbar fractures with ankylosing spondylitis.
METHODS:Eleven patients with ankylosing spondylitis combined with thoracolumbar fracture in the Fourth Department of Orthopedics, Meizhou Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, China from January 2009 to December 2012 were selected. Al the patients underwent posterior reduction and multi-segment transpedicle spinal fixation, among whom, six cases were subjected to internal fixation through the pedicle of fractured vertebra.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al of the 11 patients were fol owed up for 13 to 36 months. Solid bone healing was achieved in al of the patients, and there were no complications related to the internal fixation systems such as loosening or breakage. Three cases of spinal cord injury achieved Frankel’s class E from class C recovery. Lumbodorsal pain rate achieved 100%according to the Japanese Orthopaedic Association scoring. Results confirmed that it is effective to treat thoracolumbar fractures with ankylosing spondylitis by posterior reduction and multi-segment transpedicle spinal fixation. Strong internal fixation and fracture union can be achieved by operation.

BACKGROUND:It needs strong anchorage for shifting mandibular molar in orthodontics,which is a difficult problem to clinical orthodontic doctors.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate clinical effects and the characters by micro-implant anchorage during mandibular molars mesialization in Class Ⅰ malocclusal patients.METHODS:A total of 24 micro-implants were embedded mandibular bones between mandibular second premolar and mandibular first premolar of 15 Angle Ⅰ malocclusal patients as clinical anchorages for mesializing mandibular molars.The position changes of mandibular molars were measured from mesiodistal direction and vertical direction,and the implant anchorage loss was evaluated by maxillary central incisor.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The course of treatment was 10.4 months,and the velocity of mandibular second molar mesializing was 0.8 mm per month,with 8.5 mm in mesiodistal direction,there was no changes in the vertical direction.The distal tipping angle of molar was 2.5°,and the mandibular central incisor did not move.The method successfully mesialized mandibular molars to appropriate positions.No anchorage loss was found,The implant plays absolute anchorage during mandibular molar mesialization.

Objective To compare the analgesia effects of Oxycodone hydrochloride with Sufentanil in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) anesthesia induction. Method Sixty patients scheduled for elective LC, ASAⅠ or Ⅱ , were randomly divided into two groups (30 in each): Oxycodone group (group O) and Sufentanil group (Group S). Induction of anesthesia: group O: Propofol 1.0 ~ 2.0 mg/kg, Oxycodone 0.3 mg/kg, Vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg. Group S: Propofol 1.0 ~ 2.0 mg/kg, Sufentanil 0.3 μg/kg and Vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg. The value of HR, SBP, DBP of the two groups were recorded in the operation room (T0), after anesthesia induction (T1), 1 min after insertion laryngeal mask (T2), the instant of pneumoperitoneum establishment (T3), separation of the gallbladder (T4), the time of wake up (T5), leave the recovery room (T6). The numeric pain rating scale (NRS) were recorded at T4, T5, 4 hours later (T7), 8 hours later (T8), one day later (T9). Then recorded the wake time and additional analgetic cases. Recorded the adverse reactions. Results The average HR, SBP and DBP fluctuations in the two groups were not more than 20.0 % of the basal values. There was no significant difference in wake time between the two groups. There were 11 cases of patients, the NRS>4, in Sufentanil group requires additional analgesics after they wake up, more than Oxycodone group (P = 0.040). The NRS score was lower in Oxycodone group than group S in T5, T7, T8, T9, but they had no statistically significant difference. There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups. Conclusion 0.3 mg/kg Oxycodone and 0.3 μg/kg Sufentanil for anesthesia induction of LC, the anesthesia and analgesia effect is good, can satisfy the clinical anesthesia and postoperative analgesic requirements. The analgesic effect of 0.3 mg/kg Oxycodone may be comparable or better than 0.3 μg/kg Sufentanil.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of vascularized free forearm flaps in reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial soft tissue defects after oral cancer operation.MethodsWe retrospectively analysed 12cases with oral and maxillofacial soft tissue defects which had been reconstructed with vascularized free forearm flaps.Data concerning the recipient vessels,the survived rate and complications was analysed.ResultsAll the flaps survived compeletely,with the success rate of 100 %(12/12).The vessel thrombosis rate was 8.3%(1/12) and the flap salvage rate was 100 %(1/1).The overall complication rate was 8.3 %(1/12).ConclusionThe free forearm flap is safe and reliable and is helpful to improve the function and shape in the reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial defects.

Objective To investigate the changes of blood lipid,endothelin(ET)and carbohydrate tolerance in simple obesity children.Methods Serum total cholesterol(TC),triglyeride(TG),low density lipoprotein(LDL),endothelin(ET) and oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) of 436 cases(light obesity group 242,moderate obesity group 138,heavy obesity group 56) were detected respectively.Results The levels of TC,TG,LDL,ET and OGTT in 3 simple obesity groups were all higher than those in control group obviously and there were significant differences.The significant positive correlation between the obesity children serum lipids,ET and obese degrees were observed.Four insulin resistant children were found in heavy obesity group and none in other groups.Conclusions The levels of serum lipids and ET increases in obesity children and the OGTT decreases in some heavy obesity children.For preventing the obesity related health problems,the simple obesity children should be paid more attention to earlier.

miRNAs were discovered less than a decade ago, and have emerged as important regulators of gene expression in mammals. A large number of miRNAs have been identified to be located within the intronic regions of protein-encoding genes(host genes) and called intronic miRNAs. The intronic miRNAs may play a key role in regulating the expression and function of their host genes due to the fact that most of them are co-expressed with the host genes. In this paper, the recent advances on the research on potential relationship between intronic miRNAs and their host genes are reviewed.
