Objective To establish a rabbit auricular hematoma model,to observe the process of production and absorption,and to study the location of hematoma and method of its removal Methods Ten health New Zealand rabbits were divided randomly into control group and experimental group.A weight was dropped onto particular locality of auricles 3-6 times until a big hematoma appeared.The pathological processes of hematoma were observed,and the hematoma was formed 1 hour and the hematoma was almost absorbed after 4 days.The drainage experiment was conducted to observe the effect of needle aspiration or incision and drainage on the hematoma.Results All experimen tal auricles formed hematoma.The histopathological study showed that hematoma located between skin and cartilage,did not involve the cartilage.After 4 days,new-formed capillaries and fibroblasts were found,and then hematoma mostly absorbed; fibrous hyperplasia was been found.By cutting the hematoma,the blood clot could be thoroughly removed.Conclusions The auricular hematoma model can be established easily by striking with a heavy weight.Hematoma locates in subcutaneous connective tissue.A large hematoma should be early removed for prevention of auricular deformity.

AIM To study whether inhibition of semicarbazide (Sem)-sensitive amine oxidases (SSAO) attenuates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups. Each group consisted of 10 rats. Sham group: the ligature was placed under the left coronary artery (LCA), but not ligated. Sham+Sem group: Sem (30 mg·kg-1, ip) was given 10 min prior to the experiment, the LCA ligature was not ligated. I-R group: the LCA was occluded for 30 min and reperfused for 180 min. I-R+Sem group: Sem (30 mg·kg-1, ip) was given 10 min prior to the experiment, and then 30 min ischemia followed by 180 min reperfusion. Myocardial infarct size was determined by using nitroblue tetrazolium staining. Plasma creatine kinase (CK) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities, and malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydroxyl radicals levels were determined by spectrophotometer. Plasma SSAO activity was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. HE staining was used for histopathological evaluation. RESULTS There were no significant differences on each index between sham and sham+Sem groups. Plasma MPO and SSAO activities, and MDA and hydroxyl radials levels significantly increased in I-R group, compared with sham group. Myocardial infarct size was remarkably smaller in I-R+Sem group (27.7±3.7)%, compared with I-R group (43.2±3.1)%. Plasma MDA level, MPO activity and hydroxyl radical level were lower in I-R+Sem group than those in I-R group, from (27.5±9.3) μmol·min-1·L-1,(2.6±0.4)mmol·L-1 and (628±50)mmol·min-1·L-1 down to (14.2±5.6)μmol·min-1·L-1,(1.7±0.5)mmol·L-1 and (503±88)mmol·min-1·L-1, respectively. Histological results showed that inhibition of SSAO activity significantly attenuated leukocyte infiltration. CONCLUSIONPlasma SSAO activity is increased in myocardial I-R injury and inhibition of SSAO can attenuate myocardial I-R injury.

Clinical data of 27 children with renal calculi (11 cases on the right side and 16 on left)who were treated with extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) using HB-ESWL-VG lithotripter from April 2006 to October 2008 were retrospectively reviewed.The size of stones ranged from 5 mm to 17 mm in diameter (mean 11 mm).In 22 out of 27 cases (82%) stones were crushed completely after the first course.Eleven of 27 ESWL cases were stone-free in 7 days,8 patients in a month after treatment;the stonefree rate was 96% when patients were followed up for 1 year.The results suggest that ESWL is a safe and effective method for treatment of renal calculi in children.

Objective To investigate the expression of SEL1L and p63 protein in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and precarcinomacous lesion.Methods Immunohistochemical staining(EnVision method)was employed to detect the expression of SEL1L and p63 protein in 60 samples of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma,32 samples of high grade esophageal intraepithelial neoplasia,13 samples of low grade esophageal intraepithelial neoplasia and 33 samples of normal esophageal mucosa.Results The positive rate of SEL1L protein expression was 61.5%in low grade intraepithelia neoplasia,90.6%in high grade intraepithelial neoplasia and 96.7%in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma,significantly higher than that in normal esophageal mucosa(6.1%)(P0.05).Conclusion Both the expression of SEL1L and p63 protein increases steadily in the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma,which indicates that the two genes may play a role and cooperate with each other in the carcinogenesis.

Objective To evaluate the subjective and objective improvement of quality of life in patients with low-temperature plasma-assisted modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (H-UPPP) combined with lymphoidectomy in radix lin-guae and coblation-channeling of the tongue(CCT) treating for severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) , and compare the surgical efficacy with that of H-UPPP. Methods A total of 81patients with severe OSAHS were divided in-to treatment group (n=42) and control group (n=39). Treatment group underwent the low-temperature plasma-assisted H-UPPP combining lymphoidectomy in radix linguae and CCT,and control group underwent H-UPPP treatment. The apnea hy-popnea index (AHI), the lowest saturation of arterial oxygen (LSaO2) and Quebec sleep questionnaire (QSQ) and Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) before operation and 6-month after operation were recorded and compared between two groups. Re-sults All of detection indicators were significantly improved after operation in treatment group (P＜0.01). The total surgical efficacy was significantly higher in treatment group than that of control group (83.3%vs 12.8%,χ2=40.225,P＜0.01). The to-tal improvement rate of five dimensions in QSQ such as daytime sleepiness symptoms (76.2%vs 25.6%), signs during the day (71.4%vs 10.2%) and night (54.8%vs 5.1%), emotion (54.8%vs 2.5%), ability of social intercourse (50.0%vs 2.5%) and the total score (57.1%vs 7.7%) after operation were significantly higher in treatment group than those of control group. The se-vere indexes of ESS decreased to 23.8% after operation in treatment group than those of control group (51.3%). Conclu-sion Low-temperature plasma-assisted H-UPPP combined with lymphoidectomy in radix linguae and CCT is effective in patients with severe OSAHS, which can also improve the quality of life postoperatively.
