Objective To compare the curative effect of transumbilical single port laparoscopic appendectomy and conventional laparoscope appendectomy .Methods 80 cases with acute appendicitis were divided into single hole group and routine group according to the operation mode ,40 cases in each group .The two groups were given transum-bilical single port laparoscopic appendectomy and conventional laparoscopic appendectomy ,respectively.The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups .Results The patients in two groups were given successful operation without converted laparotomy .The postoperative anal exhaust time of the single hole group was (21.7 ±6.2)h,which was significantly shorter than that in the routine group [(26.9 ±7.3)h](t=2.18,P<0.05).However,the operation time,intraoperative bleeding amount ,postoperative length of stay ,intraoperative and postoperative complication had no obviously statistical differences between two groups (P>0.05).The patients were followed up for 3-21 months,no appendix stump inflammation , appendiceal stump fistula , adhesive ileus and other remote complication appeared . Conclusion Transumbilical single hole has safe and minimal invasive advantages on appendectomy , which can be favorable for the postoperative recovery of bowel function and cosmetic result .If it′s difficult to excise appendix , relevant operation skills shall be applied in accordance with the appendiceal lesions ,which can effectively reduce the occurrence of complication .

ve To understand the impacts of industrial fluoride-induced pollution on environment and human health. Methods The contents of fluorides in environmental media, such as air, soil, vegetables, weeds, branches and leaves in area around a certain chemical factory (polluted area) were monitored. The prevalance of dental fluorosis, the contents of fluorides in hair and nail were investigated among 87 individuals without history of exposure to industrial fluorides, living in polluted area for more than 5 years, and 132 individuals in control area. Results Higher fluoride levels in environmental medias, higher prevalance rates of dental fluorosis, high contents of fluorides in hair and nails of population were found in polluted area compared with those in control area. Conclusion The in-dustrial fluoride-induced pollution from this chemical factory had resulted in the hazardous impacts on environmental quality and human health.

Nowadays more and more attention has been paid to the problems about housing and health in China. Some investigations showed that people spent almost fourteen hours in their homes every day so the houses become the major places of daily activities. It is very important to solve the problems of what is the relation between the housing and health and how the housing influences the health of the people living in it. In the present paper the author summarized the overseas and domestic researches on the housing and health and pointed out that the research on housing and health in China is just in the preliminary phase.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects differences of three-port and single-port invasively combination laparoscopic cholecystectomy and appendectomy in the treatment of acute appendicitis complicated with gallbladder stone. Methods 110 patients with acute appendicitis complicated with gallbladder stones from August 2012 to August 2015 were randomly divided into control group (55 patients) with three-port laparoscopic operation and observation group (55 patients) with single-port laparoscopic operation;and the clinical indexes for operation related, operation overall satisfaction score of Brown, the VAS score of depression and anxiety before and after operation and postoperative complications of both groups were compared. Results The incision length of observation group was significantly shorter than control group (P< 0.05). The operative time of observation group was significantly longer than control group (P < 0.05). The operation overall satisfaction of Brown of observation group was significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05). The VAS score of depression and anxiety after operation of observation group was significantly better than control group and before operation (P<0.05). There was no signiifcant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between 2 groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion Compared with three-port laparoscopic operation, single-port invasively combination laparoscopic cholecystectomy and appendectomy in the treatment of acute appendicitis complicated with gallbladder stone can efifciently decrease the incision length, improve the aesthetic degree and postoperative negative emotions and not lead to increased risk of postoperative complications.

Characters of one Candida intermedia yeast strain which isolated from nature can produce ethanol from xylose-fermenting been systemic studied. In conditions 28?C, 120 r/min, 72 h, it can produce 6.480 g/L ethanol from 7% xylose and 43.70% theoretical production of ethanol from 3% xylose. It can produce up to 21.225 g/L ethanol when incubation time prolong to 156 h from 8% xylose. It also can ferment 13% glucose produce 47.647 g/L ethanol and reach 76.90% of theoretical ethanol production, respectively. Compared to CK, ethanol productivity can be improved 9.91% when add 8% xylose in three times as 3%, 2% and 3%, respectively. Glucose can be first utilized in the mixture sugar medium. When the ratio of xylose vs. glucose is 3:1in mixture sugar, the productivity of ethanol can be improving 25%.

OBJECTIVETo compare the therapeutic effects between close reduction and plaster slab fixation combined with plaster external traction and operation for the treatment of pediatric closed Gartland type III supracondylar humerus fractures without neurovascular injury complications.

METHODSFrom June 2009 to June 2012, 151 children with closed Gartland III supracondylar humerus fractures were retrospectively studied and divided into two groups, including 87 boys and 64 girls, ranging in age from 1 to 12 years old with an average of 5.3 years old. Among them, 76 children (conservative group) were treated with close reduction and plaster slab fixation combined with plaster external traction; 75 children (operation group) underwent surgical operation. The time of elbow joint function exercise, the healing time of fracture, the function recovery of elbow joint and carrying angle was recorded and analyzed. The therapeutic effects were evaluated by the Flynn criteria system.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 6 to 36 months (18.3 months on average). The average time of fracture healing and elbow joint functional exercise of the conservative group was shorter than those of operation group (P < 0.001). Motion range of the elbows and carrying angle of two groups were no statistical difference (P > 0.05). According to Flynn criteria system, in conservative group, the result was excellent in 31 cases, good in 35, fair in 7, and poor in 3; in operation group, 27 in excellent, 30 in good, 17 in fair and 1 in poor; there was no significant difference between two groups in therapeutic effects (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONClose reduction and plaster slab fixation combined with plaster external traction in treatment of pediatric closed Gartland type III supracondylar humerus fractures without neurovascular injury complications,which has similar effect to surgical treatment, and the time of fracture healing and elbow joint function exercise are significantly shorter.

Objective To upregulate Notch signaling in cancer cells by overexpression of active part of Notch1 and to examine the proliferation of the cells. Methods Four cancer cell lines were infected with retrovirus recombined with sequence encoding active part of Notch1.CBF-1 reporter plasmid was used to detect Notch signaling and proliferation assay was carried out by MTS method.Cell cycle analysis was synchronously conducted. Results The overexpression of the active part of Notch1 induced upregulation of Notch signaling,led to growth inhibition in Hela and HepG2 cell lines and growth boost in BGC-823 cell lines,while had no effect on Chang cell lines. Conclusion The upregulation of Notch signaling can exert various effects on different cancer cell lines which is critical to the gene therapy for cancers.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are uniquely well-equipped antigen (Ag)-presenting cells. This function of DCs, coupled with their remarkable plasticity, renders them attractive therapeutic targets for immune modulation. Recent data have demonstrated a promising role for pharmacologic treatment as a means of generating potent regulatory DCs. Herein, the evidence that the potential of regulatory DC the-rapy is considerable and that there are compelling reasons to evaluate it in the setting of organ transplantation in the near future are discussed in this paper.
