Neuroimaging technology is the major means in the study of cerebral blood flow. This article reviews all kinds of neuroimaging technologies in identification of perihematomal penumbra in intracerebral hemorrhage,as well as the research status of perihematomal cerebral blood flow in intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective to observe the efficacy and application value of PFNA and Gamma in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly. Methods 100 patients with intertrochanteric fractures were divided into PFNA group and Gamma group, who received PFNA treatment and Gamma treatment respectively. And the operation status of patients at different ages,postoperative recovery,and complications were observed. Results The operation time,intraoperatve blood soss of PFNA group were lower than those of Gamma group(P<0. 05). There was no significant difference in fracture healing time. The Harris score of the over 75s in PFNA group was higher than that in Gamma group(P<0. 05),and the complications were less than Gamma group(P<0. 05). Conclusion PFNA was suitable for the patients at differ-ent ages with the advantages of more rigid fixation,good anti-rotation,fewer trauma and fewer complications.

AIM To develop the quality control methods for Yixuning Tablet (Fructus Lycii,Radix Polygoni Multiflori Preparata,Radix Codonopsis,etc.) METHODS RP-HPLC was performed for the assay of 2,3,5,4′-tetrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-?-D-glycoside.TLC was used to identify Fructus Lycii,Radix Polygoni Multiflori,and Radix Angelicae Sinensis. RESULTS The good linearity was within the range of 20-180 ?g?mL -1 ( r = 0.999 9 ).The average recovery was 99.0 % ( RSD was 2.8 T《B》 % ).TLC methods were special. CONCLUSION The method is convenient,accurate and sensitive.and suitable for the quality control of the preparation.

AIM: To evaluate posterior capsular opacification (PCO) with hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL, Sensar AR40e) and silicone IOLs after cataract surgery, to use a software program developed to provide an objective assessment of the amount of PCO in the digital images of the posterior capsule to quantify PCO. METHODS: Ninety-eight eyes underwent standardized phacoemulsification and "in the bag" IOL placement, were randomized to receive a three piece lens of hydrophobic acrylic or silicone, but lens materials were different in one case. In year 1 and 2, digitized retro-illumination images were taken from the posterior capsule. Images were analyzed by POCO software program, removing the Purkinje light reflexes, contrast enhancement, filtering to enhance low-density PCO. RESULTS: The percentage of PCO were 0.32±0.13 of hydrophobic acrylic IOLs in year 1, compared with 0.39±0.17 of silicone (P=0.37). In year 2, the percentage of PCO were 0.42±0.20 with hydrophobic acrylic IOLs and 0.34±0.18 with silicone IOLs (P=0.50). Of those patients with PCO in year 1 and 2, severity grades were 0.50±0.30 and 0.82±0.58 of hydrophobic acrylic cases, compared with 0.63±0.35 and 0.55±0.35 of patients with silicone IOLs (P=0.52,P=0.69) with no statistical significance.CONCLUSION: The POCO system is capable of producing an objective and repeatable measure of PCO that is relevant to assessing techniques of PCO prevention.

Objective To explore the expression and mechanisms of MMP-9 in vascular remodeling of two-kidney and one-cliped hypertension rats. Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group( n = 10), two-kidney and one-clip model (2KIC) group ( n = 10) and telmisartan group ( n = 7 ). Telmisartan group were injected with telmisartan every day. The blood pressure was determined every week. The morphologic change of carotid artery and thoracic aorta was observed with HE stainning 8 weeks after treatment with telmisartan.Arteries was performed to evaluate the expression of MMP-9 with immunohistochemisty. Results The blood pressure,vessel wall,and the expression of MMP-9 in model group were significantly higher than that of control group.Telmisartan nearly normalized arterial pressure and suppressed all these changes. Conclusion MMP-9 was related to vascular remodeling and Telmisartan could regulate vascular remodeling in 2-kidney and 1-cliped hypertension rats by inhibiting the pathway of MMP-9.

Hyaluronan is a widely occurring extracellular matrix molecule, which is not only a supporting structural component, but also an active regulator of cellular functions. The chemophysical and biological properties of hyaluronan are greatly affected by its molecular size and several hyaluronan-binding proteins, making hyaluronan a fascinating molecule with great functional diversity. This review summarizes our current understanding of the roles of hyaluronan in cardiovascular and nervous system disorders, such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and stroke, with the aim to provide a foundation for future research and clinical trials.

OBJECTIVE To select the superior one from two skin-cleaning disinfection methods so as to reduce the possibility of hospital infection.METHODS The water plus soaps(control group) and Daniel disinfectants(test group) were used separately to clean and disinfect the skin of patients in intensive care unit(ICU).The degree of skin-cleaning of patients and hand pollution of nurses were observed and analyzed.RESULTS The number of bacteria on the skin of patients of the test group was remarkably lower than that of the control group with a statistically significant difference(t=7.94,P

ObjectiveTo discuss the method and significance of concentric circumareolar approach in treatment of gynecomastia.MethodsThe incision was designed with the patient in a standing position.The location of the new nipple was determined,around which a outer cycle with the diameter of 5 cm was marked.And then a concentric inner circle with the diameter of 2.5 -3 cm was marked around the original nipple.The bilateral nipple position should be on the same level.A rim of tissue around the nipple-areola complex( NAC )was deepithelialized,excision of excess glandular tissue was performed subcutaneously and vascular network of dermis was preserved as much as possible.The purse string suture was applied in the circumareolar incision.Results 30 patients with gynecomastia were treated with this method.The result of the operation was pleasing with good aesthetic appearance,normal blood supply,and inconspicuous scars.Conclusion As a surgical approach of gynaecomastia,concentric circumareolar incision can remove excess glandular tissues and redundant skin,and has the benefit of concealing incision,simple procedure and satisfactory outcome.
