Objective To investigate the causes and prevention of hemorrhage and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury during the endoscopic thyroidectomy via the breast areola approach.Methods Totally 36 patients underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy via the breast areola approach from January 2006 to January 2008.Results All the procedures were completed under an endoscope with a mean operation time of 105 min(50 to 180 min),and mean blood loss of 30 ml(20 to 150 ml).None of the patients were converted to an open surgery.One patient developed fat liquefaction,and one showed subcutaneous emphysema,no patient had injuries to any of the nerves or the parathyroid glands.The drainage tube was removed in 24 to 72 months after the surgery.The patients were discharged from the hospital 3 to 7 days postoperation.Postoperative pathological examination showed thyroid adenoma in 7 cases and thyroid nodular goiter in 29.The 36 patients were followed up for 3 to 24 months with a mean of 12 months.During the period,3 patients complained of chest symptoms and were cured spontaneously in 3 to 7 months.All the patients were satisfied with the aesthetic outcomes,none of them had local recurrence of the tumor.Conclusions Endoscopic thyroidectomy via the breasts areola approach is feasible and effective with good short-term and aesthetic outcomes.

Objective To study and design a new algorithm of QT interval measurement based on multi-scale morphological derivative transform(MMDT) according to the demands of mobile monitoring platform.Methods After the MMDT of ECG signals by inducing a triangle and a short line as a pair of structure elements,they were classified into four types by their morphological characteristics and the optimal strategy for each type was described to detect the onset of Q-wave.By introducing the "wing" function,two referenced points of T peak were picked out,which was helpful to locate the peak and offset of T wave,and improve the precision and recognition rate of MMDT method when detecting the bifid T wave(90.9%)and biphasic T wave(86.7%).Results Eighty data records from CSE database were used to evaluate the availability.By contrast with the wavelet transform method,the statistical results showed that the proposed algorithm had generally less error and smaller standard deviation especially for abnormal-phase T wave.Conclusion Compared with those algorithms based on wavelet transform and self-adaptive threshold techniques,our algorithm needs less empirical parameters and calculation.It is also suitable for mobile monitoring and HOLTER system,and has a wide prospect of application.

BACKGROUND:Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has widespread effects on dopaminergic neurons, cholinergic neurons and other neurons, which can promote more differentiation of stem cells into neuron-like cells. Hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF1α) can improve tissue and cellviability in the ischemic environment and maintain the local microenvironment of hemangioblasts, which has a more far-ranging physiological role than genes. OBJECTIVE:By constructing double gene recombinant adenovirus vector with BDNF and three points mutant HIF1αto complete the transfection of adenovirus vector into rats mesenchymal stem cells and then study the promoting nerve regeneration and angiogenesis effect of these two genes to spinal cord injury in vitro in constant oxygen conditions. METHODS:(1)We finished the site-directed mutagenesis of 402, 564 and 803 amino acids in human HIF1αgene CDS region by PCR method and we finished recombination of mutation posterior HIF1αgene and BDNF into adenovirus pAdEasy-1 system. Packaging viral and titration determination were also finished. (2)Four kinds of virus fluids and blank group were selected for subsequent experiments. We observed transfection efficiency after transfection of virus into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and detected the expressions of BDNF and HIF1αmRNA and protein in transfection cells. (3) The protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, downstream formation vascular gene of HIF1α, in cells in al groups was detected by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The site-directed mutagenesis of 402, 564 and 803 amino acids to alanine in coding sequence region was successful. The construction of four kinds of adenoviral recombinants was successful and identification of packaging was completed. (2)The level of BDNF gene mRNA and protein expression in experimental and positive control 1 groups was significantly higher than that in the other groups (P<0.05). The level of HIF1αmRNA and protein expression in experimental and positive control 2 groups was significantly higher than that of the other groups (P<0.05). The level of vascular endothelial growth factor protein was also increased in the experimental and positive control 2 groups, which was significantly different from other groups (P<0.05). These findings indicate that the BDNF and HIF1αproteins are largely and efficiently expressed in constant oxygen conditions after single vector double gene adenovirus system transfection into mesenchymal stem cells and high-efficiency expression of vascular endothelial growth factor protein is promoted so that this is a new direction for treatment of spinal cord injury by gene therapy combined with celltransplantation.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies showed that neurotrophic factor has a variety of functions, which can effectively maintain the survival of neurons after injury.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of adenovirus-mediated brain-derived neurotrophic factor on the differentiation of endogenous neural stem cels after intracerebral hemorrhage in rats.
METHODS:A total of 90 Sprague-Dawley rat models of cerebral hemorrhage were made. At 12 hours after cerebral hemorrhage, 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was intraperitonealy injected, twice a day, for 10 consecutive days. After model establishment, rats were randomly divided into three groups, 30 rats in each group, and were respectively subjected to brain stereotaxic injection of adenovirus vector, adenovirus-mediated brain-derived neurotrophic factor and physiological saline. At 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and 4 weeks, neurological deficit score was evaluated. Absorbancevalue of growth associated protein around the area of hematoma after intracerebral hemorrhage was measured. At 4 weeks after injection, double immunostaining was used to detect the expression of BrdU/NeuN and BrdU/glial fibrilary acidic protein (GFAP).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) With the passage of time, nerve function defect score decreased in the three groups. At 1-4 weeks after injection, nerve function deficit scoreswere lower in the adenovirus-mediated brain-derived neurotrophic factor group thanthat in the adenovirus vector group and saline group (P< 0.05). (2) With the passage of time, the average absorbance of three groups in the peri-hematoma region first increased and then decreased. The absorbance value was higher in the adenovirus-mediated brain-derived neurotrophic factor group than in the adenovirus vector group and saline group at 3 days-4 weeks (P< 0.05). (3) BrdU/NeuN and BrdU/GFAP rates were significantly higher in the adenovirus-mediated brain-derived neurotrophic factor group thanthat of adenovirus vector group and saline group (P< 0.05). (4) The results show that the brain-derived neurotrophic factor mediated by adenovirus, and intervention on cerebral hemorrhage in rats can effectively promote the differentiation of endogenousneural stem cels, and promote the recovery of neural function in animal.
