Objective To study the method and effect of subcutaneous pedicle flap based on the orbicularis oculi muscle in the treatment of xanthelasma.Methods According to the situation of xanthelasma and the soft tissues of upper eyelid,two new double-folds eyelid was designed.The soft tissues (including the skin and muscle) between two lines were intended to form a subcutaneous pedicle flap based on the orbicularis oculi muscle.Then,after the excision of xanthelasma from the surface of orbicularis oculi muscle,the flap was transferred to the defected site.Finally,a new double-folds eyelid was made.Results 13 cases with 25 sides were treated with a follow-up period of 3-6 months.All flaps were survived with good functions and the appearance of upper eyelids were satisfactory.Conclusions Subcutaneous pedicle flap based on the orbicularis oculi muscle is a reliable option for the treatment of xanthelasma.It has the advantages of abundant blood supply,convenience and effective.

The number of people with physical disabilities is increasing year by year, and the trend of population aging is more and more serious. In order to improve the quality of the life, a control system of accessible home environment for the patients with serious disabilities was developed to control the home electrical devices with the voice of the patients. The control system includes a central control platform, a speech recognition module, a terminal operation module, etc. The system combines the speech recognition control technology and wireless information transmission technology with the embedded mobile computing technology, and interconnects the lamp, electronic locks, alarms, TV and other electrical devices in the home environment as a whole system through a wireless network node. The experimental results showed that speech recognition success rate was more than 84% in the home environment.

Objective To study the effects of high salt intake on blood pressure and renin-angiotensin in male rats with different plasm androgen levels.Methods Thirty male Wistar rats were randomized to sham(n=10)or operated(n=10),or castration(n=10),or testosterone replacement after castarion(26.7 mg/kg,n=10)and fed with 8% NaCl for 8 weeks.Tall arterial pressure were recorded before,4 and 8 weeks after experiment.Serum PRA,plasma angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)and testosterone(T)were determined by radioimmunoassey respectively. Results After 8 weeks high salt dietary,blood pressure was significantly increased in sham and testosterone replace ment rats(Sham operation group:137.3?4.0 vs the basal line:117.5?5.9 mmHg,testosterone replacement group: 134.4?5.2 vs the basal line:116.6?7.7 mmHg,P0.05).Concomitantly,sham operation or testosterone re placement rats had higher PRA and plasm Ang Ⅱ content compared with castrated rats(PRA:Sham operation 5.90 ?0.77 vs testosterone replacement group:5.69?0.47 vs castrated rats:4.90?0.55 mol/(L?h),P

Objective To evaluate the safety of dynamic anterior plate fixation for cervical distractive flexion injuries and compare its rigidity between different types of plate design. Methods Twelve sets of cadaveric calf spine were used in this test. All the specimens were made into distractive flexion injury models (C4-C5) ac- cording to Allen's method. After discectomy and grafting, they were randomized into three groups in which Orion, Codman, and Window instrumentations were used respectively. The stiffness of each construct was tested in flexion, extension, lateral bending and axial torsion conditions sequentially. Results Compared with an intact cervical spine, the range of motion (ROM) of an injured cervical spine increased whatever plate was applied. Orion in- strumentation presented stiffness the closest to that of the normal control, except for less torsional stiffness. Codman instrumentation provided stiffness close to that for normal and Orion groups only in lateral bending. Window's was the weakest mad not enough in all kinds of movement. Conclusions Static anterior fixation is the first choice for cervical injuries. Dynamic plate fixation may sacrifice stiffness to some extent, especially when a shifting kind of design is to be chosen.

0.05), CGI and HAMA. Safety analysis suggested that no significant differences were found in symptoms and frequency of side effects between the two groups.Conclusion Bupropion hydrochloride tablet is an effective and safe antidepressant. It has similar effect and safety compared with fluoxetine in the treatment of depression.

Aim To investigate the anti-tumor effects of FS-108 an Hsp90 inhibitor, on oncogene addicted EBC-1 and A375 cells. Methods SRB assay was performed to investigate cell proliferation. Immunoblot was conducted to investigate the specific proteins. FACS was conducted to test cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. Transwell assay was conducted to investigate cell motility. Results FS-108 significantly suppressed cell proliferation of EBC-1 and A375 cancer cells with IC50 at 25. 53 nmol · L-1 and 30. 02 nmol · L-1 re-spectively. FS-108 treatment triggered the degradation of key client proteins such as c-Met and B-Raf and thereby reduced their downstream AKT and ERK signa-ling pathways. The FACS analysis results demonstrated that FS-108 treatment induced G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis significantly. Furthermore, FS-108 inhibited the migration of EBC-1 and A375 cells. Conclusion As a potent Hsp90 inhibitor, FS-108 can inhibit onco-gene addicted cancer cells proliferation through induc-tion of G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis.

To explore the originating sites,clinical manifestations,imaging features,pathologic findings,treatments and prognosis of low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma.Among 54 cases,6 came from our hospital and the other 48 cases were reported in literatures from 1998 to 2012 in China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database (CNKI).Their data were reviewed for analysis.The usual presentation was a slowly growing,painless mass commonly located in extremities.The optimal treatment of extended resection could significantly reduce recurrence and improve survival.And a long-term follow-up was necessary.

Objective To investigate the feature of the microorganisms colonization of the thoracic catheter-related infection and evaluate the clinical significance of prophylactic antibiotics administration in patients with pneumothorax treated with closed thoracic drainage. Method A total of 120 patients with pneumothorax treated with closed thoracic dramage in emergency department wore enrolled. The patients were randomized (random number) into group A (n =60) and group B (n =60). In group A, the patients received levofloxacin mesylate injection and in group B, patients received physiological saline injection instead after closed thoracic drainage. The tip of catheter was cut off to get a 2-cm long segment after catheter removal and this segment was dipped into a bottle filled with liquid culture medium for microorganism culture. Statistical analysis carried out by using χ2 test or Fisher exact test. Results Of all 120 patients, microorganisms were found in 49 segments of catheter and 57 strains of microorganisms were found. The four most common microorganisms were Coagulase-negative staphylococci (57.9%), Candida albicans (10. 5%),Staphylococcus aureus (7%) and Acinetobacter baumanii (7%). All of them were highly drug-resistant to β-1actam antibiotics. The difference in the positive rate of microorganism culture was distinct in pneumothorax patients with underlying diseases (50%) in comparison to the patients without underlying diseases (31%) (P ＜ 0.05). The positive rate of microorganism culture increased significantly as the duration of drainage was longer than 14 days (P ＜ 0.01). The positive rate of culture in group A was lower than that in group B if the duration of drainage was less than 7 days (8.3% vs 52.9%, P ＜ 0.01). The positive rate of culture after drainage for 7 days was 21.4% in group A and 68.8% in group B (P ＜0.05), and that after drainage for over 14 days was 70% in both groups (P ＞ 0.05). There were no significant differences in outcome and days of hospital stay between two groups (P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusions The common colonized microorganisms of thoracic catheter-related infection are conditional pathogens and highly resistant to antibiotics. Lengthening the duration of drainage and having underlying diseases increase the risk of infection. Although prophylactic antibiotics administration is beneficial to decrease the risk of thoracic catheter-related infection, it has no effects on shortening hospital stay and outcome of disease.
