A 15-year-old female patient presented with orthostatic erythema in the limbs for half a year. Skin examination revealed that diffuse reticular erythema appeared in the limbs after standing with her arms hanging down for 30 seconds, while the erythema disappeared and skin color returned to normal after raising her arms or lying flat for 30 seconds. The rash in the limbs was reproduced by inflating a sphygmomanometer cuff to 60 mmHg for 2 minutes with the limbs in the horizontal position. Antinuclear antibodies were positive at a titer of 1 ∶1 000. Histopathological examination showed dilated small vessels in the superficial dermis without obvious inflammatory cell infiltration. The patient was diagnosed with gravitational erythema.

BACKGROUND:Because of poor biocompatibility, conventional intraocular lenses (IOLs) used to improve visual acuity can result in a higher incidence of inflammatory foreign body reactions.
OBJECTIVE:To study the biocompatibility and therapeutic effects of hirudin peptide-modified acrylic IOL on eye diseases.
METHODS:By immersion coating method, we prepared a polymethylmethacrylate IOL by the modification with hirudin polypeptides and observed its biocompatibility through the cytological observation. In this study, six New Zealand white rabbits were equivalently randomized into conventional and hirudin peptide grouppolypeptide hirudin group. Rabbits in the conventional group were given conventional lens implantation; while those in the hirudin peptide group underwent hirudin peptide-modified polymethylmethacrylate IOL.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Three days after implantation of hirudin peptide-modified polymethylmethacrylate IOL, cels proliferated and spread wel on the acrylic IOL, but on the cel membrane, there were a few cels most of which were gathered sphericaly with no spreading. In the hirudin peptide group, some cels attached to the border zone migrated to the IOL surface, but did not impede the central visual field; in the conventional group, the IOL surface was stil covered by fibrotic cel membrane.Comparedwith the conventional group, the score in the SchirmerItest was increased but the breakup time of tear film decreased in the hirudin peptide group. To conclude, the polymethylmethacrylate IOL modified by hirudin peptides has good physicochemical properties and biocompatibility, increases visual acuity, and yields satisfactory outcomes in the cataract treatment, which provides a new insight into the treatment of cataract.

Objective To investigate the approaches and clinical value of intra-abdominal fluid monitoring after laparoscopic splenectomy (LS). Methods We collected the data of 63 cases of LS performed in the West China Hospital from November 2005 to August 2008,and analyzed the level of amylase in intra-abdominal fluid,changes of color,volume,and characteristics of the drainage fluid,as well as the results of germiculture and ultrasonography. Results Among the cases,post-LS complications were detected by intra-abdominal fluid monitoring in 4 cases early after the surgery. In the four cases,2 patients showed hemorrhagic fluid (over 40 ml/h),and then was found having postoperative bleeding in the splenogastric ligament by abdominal exploration in 12 hours. In the other 2 patients,ravidous drainage fluid was detected in 6 days after the operation,and increased levels of amylase (15 189 and 9206 U/L,respectively) was revealed while germiculture was negative; pancreatic fistula (PF) was then diagnosed and somatostatin was administered. Of the 2 patients who developed PF,intra-abdominal drainage was patent in 1,and the drainage tube was withdrawn in 20 days; for the other cases who had non-patent drainage,ultrasonography-guided percutaneous puncture catheter drainage was performed,and the drainage tube was taken out in 2 months. Conclusions LS is safe,reliable,and minimally invasive. Postoperative monitoring of intra-abdominal fluid is valuable for early detection of post-LS complications.

Objective To systematically review the changes in the intensity of postoperative pain under ketamine anesthesia in children.Methods We searched the Cochrane Library,PubMed,OVID,EMBASE,and Chinese Biomedical Database for prospective randomized controlled trials involving the changes in the intensity of postoperative pain under ketamine anesthesia in children.The quality of the studies was evaluated by the method recommended by Cochrane Collaboration.Evaluation indexes included pain score and analgesic consumption during 6 h after operation,pain score and analgesic consumption during 6-24 h after operation,duration of sensory block (caudal block),side effects during 24 h after operation (postoperative nausea and vomiting and psycho-mimetic manifestations).Meta-analysis was conducted using the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.0 software.Results Fifteen prospective randomized controlled trials involving 955 patients were included in our Meta-analysis.The patients were divided into 2 groups:control group ( n =455) and ketamine group ( n =500).The pain score and analgesic consumption during 6 h after operation were significantly decreased after general anesthesia with ketamine.The pain score during 6-24 h after operation and analgesic consumption during 6 h after operation were significantly decreased after local anesthesia with ketamine.The duration of sensory block was prolonged and the analgesic consumption during 6 h after operation was significantly reduced after caudal block with ketamine.There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting and psycho-mimetic manifestations between the two groups.Conclusion The intensity of pain and analgesic requirement during 6 h after operation are significantly reduced under ketamine anesthesia in children.

Objective:To analyze the long-term curative effect of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), and to study the factors related to the defeat of endoscopic sinus surgery.Method:201 cases（353 sides）of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps were treated with ESS，and were treated by taking the nasal cavity as a whole unit.Result:Following up survey from 12 months to 24 months postoperatively，it was found that 108 cases were cured （53.7%），82 cases achieved symptomatic relief（40.8%），11 cases remained failure （5.5%）.Conclusion:It is very important to improve the ESS technique in order to reduce the recurrence of nasal polyps and sinusitis and to improve the curative effect of ESS，in addition，the treatment after operation is also indispensable to successful surgery.

Objective To explore if keratinocytes that stably maintain HPV11 genome can be obtained by transfection and selection methods. Methods Escherichia coil containing pBR322.HPV11 plasmid was cultured and amplified. Then the plasmid was extracted, purified and digested with BamH Ⅰ enzyme to release viral genome from the bacterial vector. After recovering from the low-melting point agarose gel by electrophoresis, the genome was self-circulated with T4 DNA ligase. The religated DNA was cotransfected with pTK-neo DNA into HaCaT keratinocytes using Lipofectamine reagent. After selection with G418 for 2 to 3 weeks, clonal and pooled cultures were expanded and analyzed. Fluorescent quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR) and nested reverse transcriptase PCR (nRT-PCR) were applied to detect HPV11 DNA and spliced HPV11 E1^E4 mRNA expression in the transfected cells. Results After the cotransfection of HPV11 genome into HaCaT keratinocytes and two-week selection,G418-resistant cell colonies were obtained with morphological features indistinguishable from normal HaCaT keratinocytes. As shown by FQ-PCR, HPV11 DNA was present in G418-selected HaCaT keratinocytes. The average viral DNA load capacity was 15.9±16.8 copies/cell in the primary culture of G418-selected HaCaT cells and 23.9±1.1 copies/cell in the third passage of the cells; there was no statistical difference between the two passages of cells (t=-0.822, P>0.05). nRT-PCR targeting HPV11 E1^E4 mRNA transcript produced a specific 628-bp fragment, which was shown by agarose gel electrophoresis. Conclusions Our data indicate that HPV11 genome can be successfully introduced into HaCaT keratinocytes by transfection and HPV11 DNA-positive cells can be obtained by G418 selection. Moreover, HPV11 DNA is still present in the third passage of transfected cells.
