The thickness of the soft tissue at 34 points on the head the and the face were measured. 28 out of 30 cadavers were fixed with 10% formalin about 1 year and 2 fresh. 14 measuring points were on the middle line, while 20 points on the lateral line. The width of palpebral fissure, the position of eye-ball in the orbital cavity, the thickness as well as the heght and the width of the auricle, the thickness of supper and lower lip, the width of mouth-slit, the length of external nose, the width of inferior aspect of the nose, the heght of the epex of noselip, and the diameter of nares were measured to provide some anatomicaleata data for the restoration and reconstraction of the head and the face of the dead when they are injured.

Objective To study the effects neuromuscular electrotherapy and kinesitherapy on brachial plexus palsy. Methods 20 patients with brachial plexus palsy accepted neuromuscular electrical stimulation on involved muscles, and were followed up for 18～58 months. Other 17 patients accepted neurolysis alone were as control. Results The function of shoulder and elbow in electric stimulation group was significantly superior to that of control (P<0.01). Conclusion Neuromuscular electrotherapy combined with kinestherapy is effective on the brachial plexus palsy.

OBJECTIVETo explore the incidence of chromosome 1 abnormality in myelodysplastic syndrome（MDS）to couple its association with clinical presentation and prognosis.

METHODSR- band karyotype analyses were performed in 672 cases of MDS between 2010 and 2013. Clinical data of those with abnormal chromosome l were collected and then analyzed factors affecting the prognosis.

RESULTSOf 672 cases of patients with MDS, chromosome 1 aberration［der（1）, dup（1）, －1 were most frequent］ were found in 41（6.1%）cases. 1q trisomy was found in 18/41（43.9%）cases, and the most common patterns were duplication of the long arm as well as unbalanced translocation with other chromosomes. Of 41 patients with chromosomal 1 abnormality, 32 cases were accompanied with other chromosomal aberration, usually involving 3 or more abnormal chromosomal karyotypes, e.g., chromosome 8, 7 abnormalities. According to IPSS-R scoring system, 19 patients were diagnosed with very high risk, 10 patients high risk, 10 patients intermediate risk and 2 patients low risk MDS. 9 patients transformed into acute leukemia with median transforming time of 7.18（0.56-54.28）months. Median survival of 36 cases after 2010 was 17.48（95% CI 14.38-20.58）months. There were significant differences on median survival between RAEB and non-RAEB groups（χ²=10.398, P=0.001）, and between with more than 3 chromosome abnormalities and with less than 3 groups（χ²=3.939, P=0.047）. RAEB was identified as an independent risk factor for the prognosis of MDS with chromosome 1 abnormality.

CONCLUSIONChromosome 1 aberration was not rare in MDS. 1q trisomy was the most common abnormal karyotype in China, which often accompanied with other chromosomal abnormalities. The prognosis of MDS patients with chromosome 1 abnormality was poor, especially worse in those diagnosed with RAEB-1, RAEB-2 and with more than 3 chromosome abnormality. For patients whose percentage of bone marrow blasts less than 5%, the prognosis of patients with 1q trisomy was better than those without 1q trisomy. RAEB was identified as an independent risk factor for the prognosis of MDS with chromosome 1 abnormality.
