Injection might be repeated in every 5~10 days, totally 4~6 times. Results All cases were followed up from 8 to 36 months. The recovery rate was 95.18%, and the total effective rate was 100%. Conclusion This method is a simple, safe and effective therapy of hemangioma in maxillofacial regions.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of dexmedetomidine combined with butorphanol in preventing tourniquet reaction.Methods Fifty patients(ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ)with upper limb operation and satisfactory effect of brachial plexus block were randomly divided into the dexmedetomidine group(A)and dexmedetomidine combined with butorphanol group (B),25 cases in each group.The anesthesia drug preparation method in the group A:dexmedetomidine 200μg was added with normal saline 50 mL;in the group B:dexmedetomidine 200 μg,butorphanol 1 mg and normal saline 50 mL altogether.The group A used dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg load for 15 min and maintained by 0.4 μg · kg-1 · h-1 until the end of operation;the group B was given 0.015 mg/kg butorphanol,then was given medication according the scheme of group A.The VAS score,BIS value,Remsay sedation score,HR,MAP and SPO2 were recorded at the time points:before medication (T0),immediately after the tourniquet inflation (T1),15 min (T2),30 min (T3),45 min (T4),60 min after tourniquet inflation (T5) and 10 min after deflation (T6).The subjective response classification count,respiratory depression,bradycardia and hypotension in the two groups were assessed.pH,PaO2,PaCO2,HCO3-and LAC at T6 were evaluated by theblood gas analysis.Results The VAS score,BIS value,Ramsay sedation score,HR and MAP at T4,T5 had statistical difference between the two groups (P＜0.05).In the group A,the good and poor subjective responses had 9 cases and 4 cases respectively,which in the group B had 13 cases and 1 case,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05);there was no respiratory depression,bradycardia and hypotension in the two groups;the blood gas analysis showed no statistical difference between the two groups.Conclusion Applying dexmedetomidine combined with butorphanol in upper and lower limb surgery under brachial plexus anesthesia can significantly prevent the tourniquet reaction,its effect is superior to single use of dexmedetomidine.

Objective To introduce and evaluate an improved technique of vertical mammaplasty for correction of severe breast ptosis. Methods Vertical mammaplasty that was first reported by Ma-deleine Lejour in Brussels is a technique that uses adjustable markings, an upper pedicle for the areola, and a central breast reduction with lower skin undermining. To shorten vertical scar, it was important to locate new nipple position and move up new inframammary fold. The shape of the breast was crea-ted by suturing the gland and did not rely on the skin. No scar was produced in submammary fold. Re-sults 36 cases were treated with vertical mammaplasty in our department since August 1999. The shape of the new breast was satisfactory in all patients after 3-24 months following-up. Areora necro-sis was not found in all the cases. Conclusion The vertical mammaplasty is an optical technique for correction of severe breast ptosis, Stable results are produced because the gland is strongly sutured.

BACKGROUND:Fracture healing is the coupling interaction of osteoblasts and osteoclasts that promotes bone growth, in which osteoblast-mediated bone resorption and osteoclasts-mediated bone reconstruction make the bone reconstruction in a dynamic equilibrium to promote bone growth. However, the majorities of the current studies focus on osteogenic or osteoclastic mechanism alone, and ignore the interaction mechanism between these two cels under co-existing conditions.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Kidney Chinese Herbs on osteoblasts and osteoclasts coupling of osteoprotegerin-receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand-receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB and its mechanism of action in fracture treatment.
METHODS: Mouse osteoblasts and osteoclasts were isolated and cultured in vitro to establish the mouse “osteoblast-osteoclast co-culture system” as a research platform. Then, Kidney Chinese Herbs at doses of 1.25, 2.5, 6.25 g/(kg?d) were given intragastricaly for 7 consecutive days. Mice in the blank control group were fed with the same volume of normal saline.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The alkaline phosphatase activity in osteoblasts co-cultured with osteoclasts was significantly higher than that in osteoblasts cultured alone at 24 hours of culture (P < 0.05). Real-time PCR showed that in the co-culture system, the expression of alkaline phosphatase, Runt related transcription factor 2 and osteoprotegerin were increased in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). Western blot assay showed 6.25 g/(kg?d) Kidney Chinese Herbs could dramaticaly promote the expression of osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand, but restrained the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that Kidney Chinese Herbs can dynamicaly regulate the osteoprotegerin-receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand-receptor activator signaling pathway, and has a positive effect to promote bone reconstruction and rehabilitation.

Objective To investigate the influence of CD14 on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) signal transduction pathway during the hepaticstress injury in acute cerebral hemorrhage, and explore the protection mechanism of Xinglouchengqi decoction. Methods The model ofacute cerebral hemorrhage was established with injection of collagenase Ⅶ into internal capsule of cerebrum. The rats were randomly dividedinto blank control group, cerebral hemorrhage group, syndrome of phledm-heat and fu-organ excess model group and Xinglouchengqigroup. Each group was divided into 3 time sub-groups (24 h, 48 h, 72 h). The expression of CD14 mRNA in liver tissue and mesentericlymph nodes were observed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results The expression of CD14 mRNA was higher in model-group than blank control group (P<0.05). Xinglouchengqi decoction could reduce liver pathological injury significantly. Conclusion CD14plays an important role in endotoxin-mediated liver injury. Xinglouchengqi decoction can protect the liver in cerebral hemorrhage.

From August 2007 to January 2009 a total of 95 patients with complex renal calculi were treated with CT ( n = 32 ), X-ray ( n = 33 ) or ultrasound ( n = 30 ) guided percutaneous nephrostomy and ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy respectively. The CT guided procedure had lower positioning time,positioning failure rate, complication rate and residual stone rate than those of X-ray and ultrasound localization, particularly had advantages in the stone clearance rate and complications rate ( all P ＜ 0. 05 ).CT guided localization can be chosen in the following conditions: higher kidney position, large staghorn calculi or renal pelvis stones without hydronephrosis, with congenital renal malformations or failure of ultrasound or X-ray localization.

BACKGROUND:Jumonji domain-containing histone demethylase (JMJD) can promote osteoblast differentiation, and estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) can promote osteoblast differentiation and increase bone formation. However, little is reported on the association between postmenopausal osteoporosis andJMJD and ERRα. OBJECTIVE: To study the changes in the JMJD2 family expression in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. METHODS: Postmenopausal patients with osteoarthritis of the hip scheduled for total hip arthroplasty, aged 50-70 years, were enroled, including 10 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients (experimental group) and 10 patients with no postmenopausal osteoporosis (control group). During the arthroplasty, the cancelous bone specimens from the femoral head were colected. Then, immunohistochemistry and western blot assay were used to detect expression of histone demethylase (JMJD2A, JMJD2B), histone methylation (H3K9me3, H3K36me3) and ERRα. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the experimental group, the expressions of JMJD2A, JMJD2B and ERRαwere from weakly positive to positive; these expressions were significantly lower in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05). The expressions of H3K9me3 and H3K36me3 were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the expression of JMJD2A and JMJD2B is consistent with the expression of ERRα in the patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and JMJD is likely to serve as an antagonistic enzyme of osteoporosis.

Objective To investigate the risks of self-rated health in the ≥55-year elderly in Beijing and the occurrence of stroke.Methods The subjects (n=2 101;aged ≥55) from Beijing longitudinal study of aging (BLSA) were collected by Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University from January 1992 to December 2016.One hundred and twenty-one subjects with stroke at baseline and 92 with incomplete information were excluded,and finally,1 888 elderly patients without cerebrovascular disease at baseline were included in the analysis.Based on the actual situation,the self-rated health was to identify an item that matched their current state from good,general to poor.The deadline for the survey was December 31,2012.The competitive risk model was used to assess the health self-rated status and the risk of stroke.Non-stroke deaths,including cancer and car accidents were treated as competitive events.Results Of the 1 888 subjects enrolled,946 (50.1%) self-rated health were good,616 (32.6%) were general,and 326 (17.3%) were poor;438 (23.2%) had stroke,751 (37.8%) had non-stroke death,and 699 (37.0%) were right censored data.Using the competing risk model and adjusting the age,sex,living area,marital status,education level,smoking,alcohol consumption,physical exercise,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,coronary heart disease,and body mass index,the occurrence of stroke in patients with poor self-rated health was 1.44 times (95%CI 1.11-1.87,P<0.01) as good as those who were good.Conclusion In the self-rated health of the elderly ≥55 years old in Beijing,the people with poor self-rated health increased the occurrence of stroke after considering the competitive risks.

ObjectiveTo investigate the condition of infants with urolithiasis caused by melaminetainted powdered formula at one-year follow-up. Methods Eighty-one young children with melamine-induced urolithiasis were followed up,which included urinalysis,renal-function tests,urinary tests for biochemical markers of renal glomerular and tubular function,and ultrasonography.Eighty-one age-matched healthy infants without exposure to melamine-contaminated formulas were enrolled as controls. Results Fifty-one of the patients were male and 30 female,with a mean age of 26 months (range 13 -48 months).The 81 children were divided into 2 groups according to treatment protocols.Group 1 received conservative treatment ( n =54 ) and Group 2 received surgical treatment ( n =27 ).In Group 1,3 patients (5.6％) had stone-residual:1 girl had calculus of 0.4 cm in diameter in the left kidney and 2 girls had calculus of 0.3 cm in diameter in the right kidney.In Group 2,2 patients (7.4％) had stone-residual,1 boy had crystallization of 0.2 cm in diameter in the right kidney and 1 boy had calculus of 1.5 cm in diameter in the left kidney,positive stone was confirmed by X-ray and accepted percutaneous nephrolithotomy.Urinary microalbumin levels were significantly increased in the children with melamine-induced urolithiasis compared with the control group (P ＜0.01 ).Blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine were within the normal range with no significant difference between the 2 groups. ConclusionsAt one-year follow-up most of the children exposed to melamine-tainted infant formula in both treatment groups had returned to a healthy state,suggesting a satisfactory outcome for both treatment options.However,surgery is recommended in patients with stoneresidual ＞ 10 mm.
