1.Incidence and position of the canal isthmus in maxillary second premolars
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2000;0(06):-
Objective: To investigate the root canal configuration and the incidence and location of the isthmus in extracted maxillary second premolar with single root. Methods: 60 maxillary second premolars were included in the study. 1 mm root was cut from the apical end of root. The transverse section was stained with methylene blue dye and viewed with a surgical operating microscope. 1 mm increment sections were made and stained and observed by the same way from apex to 6 mm. The number of canals as well as the type of canal isthmuses were recorded. Results: 41.67% maxillary second premolar with single root had two canals. Canal isthmus happened more frequently in the apical 4 mm levels. Conclusion: The incidence of isthmus in the maxillary second premolar was highest in the apical 3-to 5-mm level. Canal morphology in the apical 1-to 6-mm is complicated.
2.Study on integron drug resistance gene of ESBLs-prodcing Klebsiella pneumonia infection in ICU elderly patients
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2016;37(16):2214-2216
Objective To understand the gene distribution and drug resistance rate of integron gene of extended spectrumβ‐lac‐tamases(ESBLs) producing Klebsiella pneumonia infection in ICU elderly patients in order to provide the basis for rational use of antimicrobial agents .Methods The BioMerieux VITEK‐2 Automated Microbes Identification System was adopted to conduct the bacteria identification and drug susceptibility test on various clinical specimens of ICU elderly patients in our hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 .The integron gene in 167 strains of ESBLs‐producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was analyzed by PCR ,and the gene was identified by sequencing .Results Among 386 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae ,the detection rate of ESBLs‐producing strains was 43 .26% ;the positive rate of integron was 50 .89% ,the detected integron was class Ⅰ integron;aadA2 ,aadA1 ,aada16 , dfra27 and arr‐3 genes were amplified from integron variable region;the drug resistance rate of ESBLs‐producing integron gene pos‐itive strains was significantly higher than that of integron gene negative strains .Conclusion the ICU elderly patients with ESBLs‐producing Klebsiella pneumoniae infection is closely related to the integron gene and integron plays an important role in bacterial drug resistance .
3.Application of perihilar surgical techniques in biliary tract surgery
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2015;14(4):284-287
Perihilar surgery is full of challenge,risk,variability and uncertainty.Because of the anatomic variability,the pathophysiological complexity and invasion of the diseases,hepatic hilar biliary surgery has the characteristics of high operative difficulties,low resection rate,easy intraoperative bleeding,more postoperative complications,high recurrence rate and mortality rate.The cure rate and safety of the operation can be improved only through comprehensive imaging examinations and preoperative evaluation of liver function as well as the correct use of surgical techniques of anatomic paths,lesions excision and hepatic hilar reconstruction.The core of perihilar surgical techniques is hepatic hilar anatomy and explosion,including hilar plate dissection,dissection of liver along the medial fissure,quadrate lobe of liver resection and perihilar resection.Perihilar surgery is a comprehensive technique involving preoperative,intraoperative and postoperative procedures.The cure rates of perihilar biliary diseases can be improved by a combination of enhanced recovery after surgery and optimized and individualized surgical plans for patients.

Zymonomas mobilis was transformed with a polyhydroxybutyrate synthesis operon phbCAB equipped with a pdc promoter from Z. mobilis. For the first time,PHB was produced in recombinant Z.mobilis. Shake flask studies indicated that accumulation of PHB in Zymomonas mobilis increased approximately 10% ethanol productivity for the first 48h of anaerobic fermentation. After that,the PHB effect was observed as insignificant probably due to the exhaustion of the sugar.

Background and purpose:Reduced peripheral blood platelet count is a common toxicity in patients with hematological malignancy after chemotherapy.The purpose of this study was to observe the eff icacy and safety of recombinant human thrombopoietin(rhTPO)in the treatment of thrombocytopenia induced by chemotherapy.Methods:A total of 25 patients with solid tumor,who developed thrombocytopenia induced by chemotherapy(PLT≤70?109/L) after the f irst cycle of chemotherapy(control group),was studied by self-cross control.6-24 h after the second cycle of chemotherapy(treatment group) with identical scheme of the f irst cycle chemotherapy,they were given subcutaneous injection of rhTPO 15 000 U/d for 7 to 14 consecutive days or until platelet count ≥100?109/L or the increasing count ≥50?109/L.Results:The mean platelet count of the patients after rhTPO treatment was higher at different time points of the treatment group than that of the control group.The minimal PLT count of the treatment group and the control group after chemotherapy were(80.3?39.30)?109/L and(34.7?21.2)?109/L(P0.05).The time of PLT count to recover was found to be more than 75?109/L and 100?109/L in treatment group after chemotherapy was(9.8?4.2)d and(12.8?3.6)d,compared to(19.1?4.5)d and(24.3?1.4)d(P
