ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of microwave tissue coagulation (MTC) to treat verruca vulgaris. MethodsWe observed the lesion healing, post- operation infection and scar forma- tion of verruca vulgaris 182 patients in who received MTC treatment. ResultsThe one - operation cure rate was 87.75 ％. The post - operation infection rate was 2.90 ％. The healing time varied from 1 to 8 weeks according to the different lesion location. No obvious scar was observed except 2 patients. ConclusionMTC is a convenient, effective and safe method of treatment for verruca vulgaris.

Objective To study the mechanism of NS1619 on airway remodeling in asthmatic mice. Methods A total of 24 healthy female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:the control group, the oval albumin (OVA) group (the asthma group) and the NS1619 group (the intervention group), 8 mice in each group. Asthma group was induced with OVA, chal-lenged by continuous inhalation with 5%OVA from day 19 to 23, then changed to 3 times per week from day 24 to 55. Interven-tion group was inhaled with NS1619 (30μmol/L) before OVA. Control group was given with normal saline. The thickness of air-way smooth muscle and the area of collagen deposition in lung tissue slices were observed by HE and Masson staining, measured by a computer assisted image analysis system. The concentration ofα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in cells was detected by immunohistochemistry. The expression of platelet derived grouth factor-BB, PDGF-BB (PDGF-BB) in serum was measured by immunosorbent assay. Results Compared with the asthma group, the pathologic changes of lung tissue, the thickness of airway smooth muscle and collagen deposition in the group treated with NS1619 were signiifcantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the asthma group, the levels ofα-SMA in cells and PDGF-BB in serum in NS1619 treated group were signiifcantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusions NS1619 partly inhibited airway remodeling in asthmatic mice, partially by down-regulating the expres-sion level ofα-SMA and PDGF-BB.

Objective To evaluate the possibility and efficiency of nanoparticles as a new vector in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene transfection. Methods Nanoparticle-VEGF (Np/VEGF)complex was prepared with poly (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) loading VEGF165 gene using the multiple emulsion (w/o/w) technique. The envelopment efficiency and size of the complex were determined. Rat myocardial cells were cultured in vitro, and the Np/VEGF was transfected into the cultured myocardial cells. Then RT-PCR and ELISA were used to evaluate whether the Np/VEGF increased the level of gene expression. Four New Zealand rabbits were used, the suspension of Np/VEGF was injected into myocardial tissue of rabbits after thoracotomy. 96h after the operation, the tissue sections of the implant sites were observed with transmission electron microscope (TEM) to determine the process of nanoparticles as vectors for gene transfer to cardiac myocytes. Results The envelopment efficiency and size of the Np/VEGF complex thus prepared were 1.87% and 25-300nm respectively. RT-PCR and ELISA showed that VEGF gene could be successfully transfected into myocardial cells by nanoparticle, and NP/VEGF significantly enhanced gene transfection efficiency, and it was more effective than plasmid. 96h after the operation, a great number of nanoparticles were observed in myocardial cytoplasm and nucleus with TEM, and many nanoparticles began to dissolve and degrade, suggesting that the DNA was released slowly from the nanoparticles localized in the cytoplasmic compartment, and was then transferred into the nucleus. Conclusions NP/VEGF can act as a vector to transfect VEGF gene in vitro and in vivo, it significantly enhanced gene transfection efficiency, and it was more effective than plasmid.

ObjectiveTo compare the effects of streamlined liner pharynx airway(SLIPA) and endotracheal intubation in the radical mastectomy under general anesthesia,and to evaluate the efficacy and safety.MethodsSixty patients scheduled for radical mastectomy were randomly divided into 2 groups.SLIPA group( S,n =30 ) and endotracheal intubation group(T,n =30).The data were kept regarding the insertion time and successful rate,MAP,HR,BIS were recorded at 6 time points:before induction ( T0 ),during SLIPA incursion or trachel intubation ( T1 ),3min after intubation( T2 ),before extubation( T3 ),after extubation ( T4 ),3 min after extubation ( Ts ).Ppeak,PetCO2 and SpO2 were measured after successful airway placement at 10min,30min,60min and to observe intraoperative and postoperative throat complications.ResultsThe time of endotracheal intubation group is significantly longer than SLIPA group (P ＜0.05).In group T,MAP and HR at T1,T2,T4,T5 were higer than at T0 and the same time points in group S(all P ＜ 0.05 ).No regurgitation and aspiration was found in two groups ( all P ＞ 0.05 ).The incidence of complicaton in group T is significantly higher than that in group S ( all P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionSLIPA is easier placement,safety and efficacy when it is used for the radical mastectomy under general anesthesia without significant influences on hemodynamics and fewer complications of throat after operation.

This study was aimed to optimize Qinshuang particle best spray granulation process conditions. The or-thogonal test method was used with grain yield and baicalin transfer rate as the inspection indexes. The main in-fluence factors of Qinshuang particle spray granulation process were investigated. The results showed that the best technological parameters are atomization pressure of 1 800 Pa, inlet temperature at 90°C - 100°C, outlet temper-ature at 50 ° C - 60 ° C , and the extract relative density of 1 . 10 ( 60 ° C ) . It was concluded that the reasonable pro-cess conditions make particles with stable quality, which provide the experimental basis for industrial production.

Background Pterygium is a relatively common eye disease,but its aetiology and pathogenesis remain uncertain.At present,the study on pterygia focuses on understanding its underlying mechanism.Objective This study was to detect the expression of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguaine (8-OHdG),a marker of oxidative damage of DNA,and bcl-2,a gene related with apoptosis,on the pterygium tissue.Methods Thirty pterygium tissue specimens were obtained during the surgery with the primary pterygium 24 cases and recurrent pterygium 6 cases.In addition,20 normal conjunctival specimens from retinal detachment surgery and strabismus surgery were collected.The expressions of 8-OHdG and bcl-2 in pterygium tissue were detected using immunochemistry and compared with the normal conjunctival tissue.The difference in the expressions of 8-OHdG and bcl-2 among different specimens was compared by x2test,and the relationship between 8-OHdG expression and bcl-2 expression was evaluated by Kappa test.Results The positive expressing rate of 8-OHdG in the pterygium tissue was 62.5％ and 83.3％ in the primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue,respectively,but the expression of 8-OHdG was absent in the normal conjunctiva tissue.No significant difference was found in the positive expressing rate of 8-OHdG between primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue(x2 =0.938,P＞0.05).The bcl-2 expressing rate was 90.0％ and 87.5％ in the primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue,respectively.However,that in the normal conjunctival tissue was absent.No significant difference was seen in the bcl-2 expression rate between primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue (x2=0.833,P ＞ 0.05).Of the 27 pterygium tissue with bcl-2 positive expression,8-OHdG showed the positive expression in 20 specimens,and 3 specimens with the bcl-2 negative response were absent reactive to 8-OHdG,showing insignificant difference between them (P＞0.05).The relationship between 8-OHdG expression and bcl-2 expression was concord in a certein extent (Kappa =0.464).Conclusions The upregulation of 8-OHdG in the pterygium tissue indicates that oxidative damage of DNA plays a role in the development of pterygium.Oxidative damage of DNA caused by ultraviolet may be an upriver factor,which induces raising up of expression of bcl-2 and inhibits the apoptosis of normal cells and further proliferation of the conjunctiva tissue,resulting in the genesis and development of pterysium.

Objective To evaluate the effect of laparoscopy in treatment of renal cysts.Methods Twenty- eight and thirty-five patients with renal cysts were performed with transperituneal and retroperitonel laparoscopy,re- spectively.Results A total of 62 patients were treated successfully,the average operation time was 60 minutes,no complications presented,and there was no recurrence in follow-up.Conclusion Laparoseopy survey had the advan- tages of less trauma and fewer complications and rapid recovery in treatment of renal cysts,which was suggested for clinical applications.
