ObjectiveTo observe the effect of traction combined with exercise on the cervical vertebra disease of the nerve root type. Methods50 cases were divided in treating group and control. The cases in treating group (30 cases) were treated with cervical vertebra traction and exercise, and those in control group were treated with cervical vertebra traction only.ResultsIn treating group, 12 cases were cured,11 were very effective, 8 were effective, 1 was ineffective, while those in control, 6 cases were cured, 5 were very effective, 4 were effective, 5 were ineffective(P<0.05).ConclusionCombined exercise with traction is more effective than traction alone on cervical vertebra disease of the nerve root type.

Objective To find an effective method for the treatment of mitomycin C extravasation injuries. Methods The rabbit model of mitomycin C extravasation was made and managed by different methods. The therapeutic efficacy in each group was assessed by using regression index and regression time. Results The therapeutic efficacy in ice compress group and ice compress plus amifostine group was better than that in other groups and the regression time was the shortest. There was no inflammation and necrosis in skin in ice compress group. Conclusion Ice compress, which can prevent inflammation and necrosis in skin, is one of the most effective treatment methods for mitomycin C extravasation injuries.

Objective To study the mechanism of multicellular drug resistance of pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell line A549 mediated by cell-cell adhesion. Methods We compared the sensitivity of monolayer cells (MCs) to adriamycin (ADM) with that of multicellular spheroids (MCSs) which was employed as a three dimensional cell culture model. Transmission electron microscopy was applied to observe the cellular ultrastructure. Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Bax expression levels were detected by flow cytometry and indirect immunofluorescent staining. Results Compared with MCs, MCSs had more than two layers of cells, more extensive and compact cell adhesion, and inlay junctions were found within them. MCSs were more resistant to ADM. At the same time, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL expressions in MCSs were much higher. After treatment with ADM, expressions Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL increased markedly in MCSs. Conclusion MCSs could simulate the solid tumors in vivo and has multicellular drug resistance mediated by cell-cell adhesion. The possible mechanisms may be associated with the upregulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL.

An enrichment culture showing specific algae-lysing activity was isolated from the mixtures of different samples and Microcystis aeruginosa. The process of algal lysis was monitored by chlorophyll measurement, PCR, and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The result showed that the enrichment culture had still high algicidal activity against M. aeruginosa after 1/100000 dilution. Rubritepida sp. C1, Pseudomonas sp. C2 and Sphingomonas sp. C3, as accompanying bacteria, existed in M.aeruginosa. The bacterial community in M. aeruginosa showed significant change after adding the enrichment culture, where uncultured Flavorbacterium sp. A2, Sphingomonas sp. C3 and Hydrogenophaga sp. A3 were observed, and A2 became a dominant species. The obvious correlation can be seen between change of bacterial population and extinction of M. aeruginosa. Compared identification of pure bacterium with sequencing of DGGE band, it was inferred that uncultured bacteria were probably play an important role in controlling the growth and abundance of M. aeruginosa.

Objective To discuss the application and effect evaluation of the standard operation procedure ( SOP ) teaching method during applying surgical practice teaching in local medical college . Method 123 undergraduate students from Grade 2011 clinical medical major in Medical College of Shaoguan University were selected as objects of study. The students were divided into test (odd) group and control (even) group by draw. The two groups were taught by the same teachers, while the SOP method was applied to the test group (n=62) and the traditional surgical clinical teaching method was applied to the control group (n=61). Meanwhile, we used a combined method of the formative assessment and final assess-ment to compare and analyze the teaching feedback. After their graduate internship, we compared their autonomous study capability, clinical evaluation thought, normativity of the operation and capability in their intern positions as well as the degree of satisfaction of the test of two groups by doing a survey among them. All these were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 software, and t test was used to compare two groups' measurement in-formation and count data with chi-square. Results The comprehensive evaluation scores of the test group were significantly higher than the control group, in which the margin was of statistical value [(79.394 ± 8.049) vs. (71.703±10.462), t=39.632, P=0.000]. The percentage of excellence of the test group was signif-icantly higher than the control group, in which the margin was of statistical value (59.68% vs. 39.35%, χ2=5.082, P=0.024). The percentage of failure of the test group was lower than the group taught by the tradi-tional method, in which the margin was of statistical value (3.22%vs. 16.39%, χ2=4.652, P=0.031). Its for-mative assessment result on the evaluation of the experimental teaching process and summative assessment scores were higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant [formative scores points: (46.018 ±5.749) vs. (42.771 ±6.459), t=19.445, P=0.000; summative scores: (33.659 ±3.437) vs. (29.063±4.366), t=36.249, P=0.000]. As far as their clinical graduate internship adaptation capabilities were concerned, students from the test group had more satisfaction on the teaching feedback over 4 perspectives than the other group, in which the margin was of statistical value. Experimental groups' satisfaction showed that: 93.55% of students thought the standard operation procedure (SOP) teaching method was beneficial to improving their clinical practice skills, 91.94%thought that it improved their surgical clinical work ability to adapt, 85.48% thought it helped to cultivate their surgical clinical thinking and innovation ability. Conclusions The SOP teaching method in surgical practice teaching helps to enhance students' clinical operation and adaptation capability and promote the teaching quality.

Objective To investigate the influence of duodenal diverticula on cannulation time and complication in patients undergoing ERCP.Methods Data of 3 265 patients undergoing ERCP in Drum Tower Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University between January 1,2008 and December 31,2014 were enrolled.The patients' information and endoscopic pictures/videos were collected.The duodenal diverticula,cannulation time,postoperative complications were analyzed.Results There were 2 599 (79.6％) cases of non-diverticula,445(13.6％) cases of one-diverticula,122(3.7％) patients with two or more diverticula,and 99 (3.0％) intradiverticular papilla.Patients with duodenal diverticula accounted for 20.4％ (666/3 265) of all patients who received ERCP procedure.The mean cannulation time was 6.62 minutes in all cases,6.30 minutes in non-diverticula group,7.63 minutes in one-diverticula group,8.07 minutes in two-or-more group,8.58 minutes in intradiverticular papilla group,respectively.There were significant differences in cannulation time and complication rate between the groups.Conclusion Duodenal diverticula may be one of the factors that affect the cannulation time.It may enhance the cannulation complications and prolong the cannulation time,especially in those with intradiverticular papilla.

Objective To evaluate surgical complications and outcomes based on prostate size in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treated with plasmakinetic enucleation of prostate (PKEP).Methods A retrospective review was conducted of PKEP performed in 326 patients with BPH.According to the prostate size on preoperative transrectal ultrasonography measurement,patients were divided into three groups:groupl:＜40ml (n =92),group2:40～80ml (n =155),and group3:＞80ml (n =79).Intraoperative and perioperative parameters were evaluated.Patient perioperative data and postoperative outcomes were compared.Patients were followed up at 1,3,6 and 12 months after surgery.Early and late complications were recorded.Results There were significant differences among three groups regarding the mean operative time (P ＜ 0.01) and the mean resected tissue weight (P ＜ 0.01).However,enucleation efficiency (P ＜ 0.01) in gm tissue per minute increased significantly as prostate size increased.Mean hemoglobin decrease (P ＞0.05),mean serum sodium decrease (P ＞0.05),mean postoperative irrigation time (P ＞ 0.05),mean catheter time (P ＞ 0.05) and mean hospital stay (P ＞0.05) did not differ significantly among three groups.Three groups had a similar and significant postoperative improvement in international prostate symptom score (IPSS),quality of life (QOL),maximum urine rate (Qmax),and post-void residual urine volume(PVR) independent of prostate size (P ＜ 0.01),but no significant difference was found among three groups during 1,3,6 and 12-month follow-up (P ＞ 0.05).Perioperative and postoperative complications did not depend on prostate size (P ＞ 0.05).Conchsions Although patients with a larger BPH required significantly longer operation time in PKEP,prostate size did not affect perioperative and postoperative complications or micturition improvement.
