OBJECTIVETo study clinical results of the manual reduction in treatment.

METHODSFrom October 2010 to April 2013,39 children with Monteggia fracture associated with anterior interosseous nerve injury were treated by manual reduction and fixation on buckling rotation backward,including 17 females and 22 males with an average age of 6.3 years old ranging from 3.2 to 11 years old. Among them, 15 cases were on the right side and 24 cases on the left. The course of disease was 40 minutes to 8 days (averaged 1.5 days). There were 7 cases with skateboard injured, 13 cases with stumble injured, 11 cases with falling injured,8 cases with air bed injured. According to Bado classification, 13 cases were type II, 22 cases were type III, 4 cases were type IV.

RESULTSThe distal forefinger showed exercise normally in 34 cases at 3 weeks after treatment, and the patients restored normal activities at 6 weeks after treatment. All patients were follow-up from 54 days to 6 months (averaged 67 days. According to Mayo elbow functional evaluation standard,the scoring result was 19.62±1.35 in activity, 45.00 ± 0.00 in pain, 9.87 ± 0.80 in stability, 25.00±0.00 in strength, 99.49 ±1.92 in total. The outcome of all patients was excellent and good evaluation results.

CONCLUSIONIf the anterior interosseous nerve injury could be identified early and treated timely, patients could gradually restore reasonable function and recover with satisfactory results. Raising understanding of anterior interosseous nerve injury can effectively reduce misdiagnosis.

The infrastructure of Liberia has been destroyed due to the prolonged civil war.In this situation,it's critical for the Medical Contingent to have a good self-communication to carry out medical support for the United Nations Mission in Liberia.The communication instruments,their management and maintenance are introduced in this paper.The communication support for large-scale movement is emphasized on.The methods for using effectively the restricted Internet connection are discussed in detail.To cope with the problems of poor communication between the Medical Contingent and homeland,an Internet connection system is put forward which is based on VSAT(very small aperture terminal)hardware platform and subscription of international Internet connection.The system is believed to be reliable,economical,flexible and convenient.

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane ( ILM) peeling for treating foveoschisis in high myopia.
METHODS:Thirty high-myopia patients (30 eyes) with foveoschisis from March 2011 to March 2013 were divided two groups: the treatment group ( 16 eyes ) was treated with vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling, and the control group (14 eyes) was treated only with vitrectomy. The foveoschisis reattachment and and best spectacle-correction were measured preoperatively and 2mo after surgery.
RESULTS: The improvement of foveoschisis reattachment and best spectacle - correction in the treatment group was significantly better than those in the control group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling is a safe and effective treatment for foveoschisis in high myopia.

In order to make students have integrative qualities and reform the shortage of former teaching methods in the food microbiology experiment,a new experiment teaching system was established,introducina the integrative and innovative experiment to the students gradually.The reformation of experiment in food microbiology has trained the students well and improved their special skills.Most important of all,it can offer them a chance to realize their own ideas.The students can design an innovative and integrative experiment to carry out their originalities.Good effects have been made since this system is very helpful to improve their consciousness of innovation and integrative abilities in doing experiments.

Objective To elucidate significance of hyperintense vessel signs(HVS)on FLAIR MRI in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods Two hundred and sixty-two patients with cerebral infarction admitted in our hospital were included in this study. We retrospectively defined HVS on FLAIR MRI in these patients in comparison with time of flight(TOF)on MR angiograms(MRA), hyperintense lesions on diffusion-weighted images(DWI). Results HVS on FLAIR MR[were identified in 117 patients with cerebral infarction(45.4%), of which 47 patients(83.9%)were obtained within 24 hours of symptom onset. HVS on FLAIR MRI were detected in 74 patients at sylvian fissure(62.2%), 11 at cortical sulci (9.2% ,11/119),34 at the posterior circulation regions(28.6% ,34/119). HVS on FLAIR MRI coincided well with ischemia of TOF on MRA and lesion patterns on DWI (χ2 test,P<0.01, respectively). Conclusion HVS on FLAIR MRI is helpful to evaluate abnormal major cerebral arteries of patients with cerebral infarction.

HIV and AIDS remain as the crucial global health concern, therefore, research and development of novel anti-HIV-1 chemical therapeutics is still of paramount significance, which may be illuminated by cases of successful marketed drugs. Herein, we document the discovery and biological profile of new anti-HIV-1 drugs approved by FDA between 2005 and 2008 and some drug candidates are also discussed.

Background When limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) occurs,not only the limbal stem cells (LSCs) were damaged,but also the LSCs matrix microenvironment was under destruction.The treatment of LSCD include both replenishing of stem cells and restoration of microenvironment.So far,the method to improve the microenvironment of LSCD still exist limitation and urgently need to establish more appropriate microenvironment for the LSCs growth in vitro.Objective This study was to investigate whether the human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can be used as the ideal cells to repair limbal microenvironment and its possible mechanism of repairing limbal microenvironment during the human LSCs amplification in vitro as feeder cells.Methods BMSCs were cultured and passaged in vitro,and flow cytometry was used to assay the expressions of CD45,CD71,CD90,CD105 and HLA-DR and directionally induced BMSCs to the osteoblasts and adipocytes.BMSCs were treated using mitomycin C (MMC) to use as the feeder cells.LSCs were separately co-cultured with BMSCs,Swiss-3T3 feeder cells and free-feeder cells,and colony-forming efficiency (CFE) of the LSCs was compared among different co-cultured groups.LSCs were then cultured sequentially and identified by flow cytometry.Expression of cytokines in BMSCs was confirmed by reverse transcriptional polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results Cultured BMSCs showed a good homogeneity,with a lot of expressions of interstitial cell markers such as CD71,CD90,CD105 and less expressions of hematopoietic cell markers including CD45 and HLA-DR.After separately cocultured with feeder cells for 12 days,the CFE of the LSCs co-cultured with BMSCs,Swiss-3T3 and no feeder cells was 3.67％ ±0.58％,4.30％ ± 1.54％ and 0.20％ ±0.10％,showing a statistical significant difference among the three groups(F =15.420,P =0.040).There was no statistically significant difference in the C FE of the LSCs between the BMSCs feeder group and the Swiss-3T3 feeder cells group(P =0.456),between the BMSCs feeder group and the free-feeder cells group or the Swiss-3T3 co-culture group and the free-feeder cells group (P =0.005,0.002).LSCs presented with a positive response for ABCG2 antigen in the co-cultured with BMSCs group.Basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF),stem cell factor (SCF) and N-cadherin(N-cad) were positively expressed in the BMSCs as feeder cells.Conclusions Human BMSCs-derived feeder cells can improve the growth of the stromal microenvironment of the LSCs and enhance their proliferation ability.Human BMSCs are suitable for engineering of epithelial sheets.
