The conformity between bone implant and bone tissue plays an important role in osseointegration.Protein molecules such as extracellular matrix proteins,cytoskeletal proteins,and attachment proteins,which produced by osteoblasts,promote the attachment of osteoblasts to bone implant and the surrounding ceils.In vitro studies show that nano-plated implant material bears excellent biocompatibility and superior physical and chemical features.Nano-scale material has the advantage of high surface roughness,wettability and electrochemistry features which erdaance the adherence and interaction of extracellular matrix proteins and promotes the attachmerit,proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts.The expression of cytokines,such as prostaglandin E2(PGE2)and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)are also increased in nano-structured bone implants which in turn promote the new bone formation.Further studies need to be done to explain the mechanism of the effect of nano-tructured bone implant on osteoblasts.

This study was aimed to observe the antibacterial activity and bactericidal action ofC.albicans in vitro, and the effects of curing monilial vaginitis mouse by extraction of globeflower residue fermentation (EGRF) in vivo.In vitrostudy, test tube method as well as plate method were used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) ofC.albicansrespectively.In vivo, mouse were devided into normal controlled group,C. albicans vaginitis model group (Model), Model + EGRF (40, 80, 160 mg?kg-1) group, and fluconazole group (20 mg?kg-1). All drugs were vaginal delivery once a day with continuous administration for seven days. Then vulva inflammation, negative rate of vaginal discharge, microbial load of vaginal lavage and the pathological changes of vaginal mucosa were observed. After the treatment of EGRF, the MIC and MBC of Candida albicans were 0.31 mg?mL-1 and 1.25 mg?mL-1, respectively, while the potency unit ratios between EGRF and fluconazole of MIC and MBC were 2 to 1 and 1 to 1, respectively. In comparison with Model, vulva inflammation of Model + EGRF gourp and fluconazole group was improved, whileC. albicanscount in vaginal secretions of these two groups were decreased, the overcast rate ofC. albicansof vaginal douche was increased, and pathological changes of vaginal mucosa were also improved in the two groups, which were in dose-dependent manners. And high dose Model + EGRF group was close to fluconazole group. In conclusion, EGRF had obvious inhibitory effect onC. albicans in vitro. It also had a better therapeutic effect onC. albicans vaginitis mouse.

Objective To study the clinical effects of pulmonary recruitment maneuvers combined with pressure regulation volume control (PRVC) in the treatment of severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants.Method From July 2015 to September 2016,preterm infants of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ RDS who received PRVC treatment in neonatal department of Huai'an Maternal and Child Health Hospital were assigned into recruitment maneuver group and control group (without recruitment maneuver) using randon number table.The ventilator parameters were observed at 1,2,6,12,18 h and 24 h after ventilation.Recovery rate,duration of oxygen therapy and ventilation,duration of hospital stay,incidence of second dose of pulmonary surfactant and complications were compared between two groups.Result A total of 18 cases were included in recruitment maneuver group and 19 cases in control group.The recovery rate of recruitment maneuver group was higher than control group (16/18 vs.10/19).The duration of oxygen therapy [(6.6 ± 2.3) d vs.(11.8 ± 3.0) d],duration of ventilation [(4.1 ± 2.3) d vs.(6.4 ± 2.8) d],duration of hospital stay [(26.7 ± 7.0) d vs.(33.0 ± 8.4) d] in recruitment maneuver group were significantly shorter than control group (P ＜ 0.05).The proportion of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (1/18 vs.8/19),retinopathy of premature (1/18 vs.7/19),patent ductus arteriosus that require medication closure (1/18 vs.7/19)and incidence of second dose of pulmonary surfactant (2/18 vs.9/19) in recruitment maneuver group were significantly lower than control group (P ＜ 0.05).While the complication of air leak,necrotizing enteritis,Ⅲ-V grade intracranial hemorrhage showed no significant differences between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Recruitment maneuvers combined with PRVC in treatment of severe RDS premature infants can improve recovery rate and oxygenation.It can also shorten the duration of oxygen therapy,ventilation and hospital stay.It can reduce the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and retinopathy of premature.It is worth spreading in clinical practice.reduce the incidence of bronchopuhmonary dysplasia and retinopathy.It is worthy of promotion.

OBJECTIVETo investigate a novel method for the reconstruction of large vermilion defects.

METHODSBased on the size and shape of the defects, a buccinator myomucosal flap pedicled with the junction of buccinator and orbicularis oris in the oral commisure was designed and rotated to reconstruct the large vermilion defects. The upper bound of the flap is at least 1 cm away from the stensen's duct. The width is about 2.5-3.0 cm, and the length is as far as to arrive the raphe pterygomancibularis. The donate site is directly closed primarily. There is no need for secondary pedicle division.

RESULTSFrom July 2003 to April 2013, 14 cases with large vermilion defects was reconstructed with this method. No flap necrosis occurred with primary healing. 5 cases were followed up with an average follow up period of 1 year (0.5-3 years). The apprearance and function of the reconstructed vermilion were satisfactory without any apparent donor site defect. The patients were satisfied with both the functional and cosmetic results.

CONCLUSIONThe buccinator myomucosal flap is a simple and ideal method for reconstruction of large vermilion defects, especially for the defects closed to the commisure.

Objective To observe the histopathological and ultrastructural changes,alterations in the expressions of type Ⅳ collagenases(MMP-2 and MMP-9),the tissue inhibitors(TIMP-1 and TIMP-2)and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)in the internal carotid arteries(ICAs)of patients with moyamoya disease(MD),and explore the pathogenesis of MD.Methods The bilateral ICAs were obtained during autopsy from two MD patients.HE staining and Weigert staining was used for histological observation,and transmission electron microscopy Was employed to observe the ultrastructure of the ICAS.The expression of ICAM-1 in the ICAs was detected using immunohistochemical staining,and the mRNA expressions of MMLP-2,MMP-9,TMP-1 and TIMP-2 were assayed using in situ hybridization.The ICA specimens from two patients died from non-vascular diseases were used as the control.Restilts HE staining revealed thinning of the ICAs of the MD patients with luminal stenosis,obstruction and calcification.Weigert staining identified fibrous thickening of the intima,thinning and fragmentation of the elastica interna(EI)and elastica externa(EE),degenerafion of the smooth muscle cells in the media,and thinning and local exfoliation of the adventitia.Immunohistochemistry showed ICAM-1 expression in the ICAs of both MD and control patients,but the MD patients exhibited a stronger ICAM-1 positivity in the ICAs localized primarily in the tunica intima.The ICA wall was positive for MMP-9 mRNA expression,which Was especially intense in the elastica intema,as shown by in situ hybfidization.Conslusions The high expression of MMP-9 and ICAM-1,destruction of the elastic layer and adventitia,and collapse of the vascular wall result in luminal stenosis or everi obstruction of the ICAs,which can be associated with the occuITence of MD.

OBJECTIVECharacters of stem epidermis, leaf epidermis and stoma could be used as important microcosmic morphological characteristic when inheritance trend is studied in Ephedra breeding and identification.

METHODThe stomatic density, stoma major axis and mimor axis, stomatic morphylogy, characters of leaf and stem epidermis of 6 Ephedra plants' stems were examined by SEM.

RESULTThe stomatic density and characteristic of leaf epidermis and stem epidermis in six Ephedra species was differenc, there were no obvious morphological differences in stoma shape and size. The guard cells were covered with heavy cuticle and sunken stomata, which were the typical characteristics of xerophytes. The stomas of leaf lower epidermis were oblong or hexagon, but the stomas of steam epidermis were narrowed-oblong or dumbbell-shape, they all belonged to anomalous type.

CONCLUSIONThe stoma type and characters of Ephedra plants is stable and conservative, there was no obvious morphological differences in stoma shape and size between species, so it is difficult to distinguish different species by the variance of stomas, but that can be applyed to distinguish Ephedra from others at plant taxonomy.

OBJECTIVETo estimate the prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children with epilepsy, and the factors that may contribute to the prevalence of co-morbidity between ADHD and epilepsy.

METHODSA total of 256 children aged 6-15 years old who were diagnosed with epilepsy were enrolled. The prevalence of ADHD in children with epilepsy, and the factors that may contribute to the development of co-morbidity between ADHD and epilepsy were explored.

RESULTSThe systematic evaluation in 192 patients was completed. Of the 192 children, 81 (42.2%) were diagnosed with ADHD. The earlier the epilepsy onset, the higher the frequency of the co-morbidity of ADHD occurring. The longer the period of antiepileptic medication, the higher the prevalence of the co-morbidity of ADHD. Epileptic children receiving a combination of antiepileptic drugs had a higher prevalence of ADHD. ADHD was more common in children with some specific types of epilepsy, such as Lannox-Gastaut syndrome and generalized tonic-clonic epilepsy, or epilepsy with multifocal epileptic discharges in the EEG record.

CONCLUSIONSADHD occurs frequently in children with epilepsy. The factors associated with increased risk of ADHD include the onset age of epilepsy, the types of seizures or epileptic syndromes, the epileptiform EEG discharges, and the effects of antiepileptic drugs.
