OBJECTIVETo investigate the application of intense pulsed light (IPL) depilation in the auricular reconstruction with totally expanded skin and its suitable parameter.
METHODSFrom February 2009 to September 2013, one tissue expander(100 or 150 milliliters) were implanted under the skin of mastoid in 126 patients who suffered from microtia. During the skin expanding, the hair on the expanded skin was depilated by JPL technique. The parameter, operation, interval, the depilation result and the complication were recorded. The autologous rib cartilage frameworks were implanted in the second phase of auricular reconstruction.
RESULTSThe energy of IPL was 20 - 35 J/cm2 (mean 25. 3 J/cm2), the width of pulse was 26 - 30 ms ( mean 27. 9 ms), the interval between two operations was 4 weeks. Ninety-six patients were cured(76. 2%, 96/126). The total depilation efficient is 96. 8% (122/126). A fine banding blisters was found in one patient whose depilation areas was marked by black pen. Skin erythema was found in five patients and skin pigmentation was found in 7 patients. There were no skin necrosis and expander exposure in all patients. During 6 - 12 months of follow-up period, ninety-two patients were cured (73.0%, 92/126) and the total depilation efficient is 92. 9% (117/126).
CONCLUSIONSIPL depilation during the skin expanding is feasible and safe with careful procedure. The hairless expanded skin is enough to cover the framework, as well as the post-auricular area. The appearance of reconstructed ear is better without hair.

Objective To develop a gut-brain interaction animal model of IBS which combines multiple factors including behavior, visceral sensation and motility. Methods Setting up a multifactor interactional animal model (chronic acute combining stress model, CACS) based on a chronic unpredictable mild stress model of depression (CUMS) while combined with wrap restraint stress (WRS) , changes of some indexes were recorded including motility (granules of defecating, time of defecating), visceral sensitivity ( spontaneous contraction of abdominal striated muscles ) and behavior/mind ( sucrose consumption, body weight). G protein subunits were measured by Western blot in both hippocampus and prefrontal cortex simultaneously. Results ( 1 ) Compared with the state before stress given, defecating granules increased, defecating time of glassie from rectum shorten, number of abdominal contraction increased, and sucrose consumption decreased in CACS, however, neither significant change was found on defecating behavior in CUMS nor on sucrose consumption in WRS; (2) Compared with the control group, some G protein submits expression decreased in both CACS and CUMS( P < 0. 05 ) , while no significant changes of any G protein subunits were found in WRS. Conclusion The CACS animal model was a new, brain-gut interaction model, which can mimic part of human symptoms of IBS very well.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the forms of carbamazepine and its metabolites in the gastric juice,blood and urine samples from a poisoned patient and its metabolic pathways. METHODS The gastric juice,blood and urine samples were obtained from a patient who was rushed to the Hospital of Prevention and Treatment for Occupational Diseases to be treated for an overdose of carbamazepine for about six hours. The samples were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The metabolites were identified from their mass spectra by comparison with spectra in NIST 98 libraries. The metabolic pathways were inferred by fragmentation regularities of mass spectra and the published data. RESULTS The results showed that only M1 was found in the gastric juice sample. Four metabo?lites,such as iminostilbene(M1),9-methyl-acridine(M2),9-propyl-acridan(M4)and M3,were found in the blood sample and thirteen metabolites,including M1,M2,M4,acridine(M5),acridone(M6), 9,10-dihydro Acridine (M7), 1a,10b-dihydro-6H-dibenz[b,f]oxireno[d]azepine-6-carboxamide (M8),9-acridinemethanol (M9),10,11-dihydrodiol-carbamazepine (M10),2-methyl-acridone (M12),4-methyl-acridone(M13),undetermined M3 and M11,were found in the urine from the poi?soned patient. The forms of carbamazepine metabolites in the gastric juice ,blood and urine were different. Little carbamazepine was found in the urine after metabolism. CONCLUSION Based on the analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and identification of NIST 98 libraries,the metabolites could be identified accurately,which can help analyze the metabolic mechanism and pathways of carbam?azepine.

Background and purpose:MicroRNA(miRNA) is a class of small non-coding RNA playing an important regulatory role in many tumors. This study investigated which miRNA might negatively regulate the expression of Aurora-B in osteosarcoma cells, and to lay the foundation for the further investigation of the effort and regulation of Aurora-B in osteosarcoma malignant phenotype.Methods:Bioinformatics prediction software (http://www.targetscan.org) and luciferase assays were used to investigate which miRNA might target to modulate the Aurora-B. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) and Western blot assay were used to further verify which miRNA could negative regulate the expression ofAurora-B gene.Results:Bioinformatics prediction showed let-7 family have the possibility to modulate the expression of Aurora-B; Luciferase assays showed thatAurora-B might be the target gene of let-7a/b/c/d/e/f/g/i; RTFQ-PCR and Western blot analysis testiifed that both the expression levels of Aurora-B mRNA and Aurora-B protein were signiifcantly decreased in Let-7a/g/i up-regulated U2-OS and HOS cells, compared to the cells in the negative control group; but in Let-7b/c/d/e/f up-regulated U2-OS and HOS cells, the expression levels of Aurora-B mRNA and Aurora-B protein have no signiifcant difference, compared to the cells in the negative control group.Conclusion:Let-7a/g/i may downregulate the expression of Aurora-B in human osteosarcoma cells.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of amplitude of intraoperative nerve action potentials (NAP) for early quantitative diagnosis of peripheral nerve injury. Methods The sciatic nerve injury model were established in 16 rabbits. Intraoperative NAP were recorded after 4 weeks. According to amplitude of NAP, the injuried nerve were divided into 3 groups: NAP < 100 μV in A group, 100 μV ≤NAP < 500 μV in B group, NAP ≥ 500 μV in C group. Nerve specimen 1cm distal to injuried point were resected that received glycine silver stain and image analysis including number, diameter and cross section area of regenerative axons. Footprint parameter and ulcer area were measured and contrasted between each two groups. Results The number, diameter and cross section area of A group regenerative axons have significant difference with B and C group, no significant difference between B and C group; Footprint parameter and ulcer area have significant difference in each two groups. Conclusion Amplitude of intraoperative NAP can be a quantitative criteria to diagnose the degree of peripheral nerve injury that provides experiment evidence for guide intraoperative decision-making in clinical practice.
