Objective To characterize the foot pressure distribution during walking of the male college students with a normal left foot and toes-out right foot gait.Methods Forty-two male college students age 20 to 25 with a toes-out gait on the right side and a normal gait on the left side were recruited.The FOOTSCAN system was used to measure their foot pressure distribution while walking.Results There were significant differences between the normal and the toes-out foot with regard to the peak pressure on the third metatarsal bone [(45.05 ±13.91)N/cm2 vs (26.83 ± 10.82) N/cm2] and pressure under the arch [(4.48 ± 1.94) N/cm2 vs (2.90 ±1.57) N/cm2],as well as the time for the appearance of peak pressure under the 1st and 4th metatarsal bones.The foot regional impulse was significantly lower on the normal side than on the toes-out side for toes 2 to 5 and for metatarsal bone 2.Conclusion In contrast to the normal foot,the pressure center of the toe-out foot deflects to the inner side.This results in slanted power application instead of straight ahead,so the strength in the direction of travel is small.And it will produce torsion between the tibia and fibula,which makes the tibia appear introverted and causes excessive friction in the knee joint.This will lead to injury of the knee joint.

Objective To investigate the effect of Ulinstatin(UTI) on oxygenation and gastric intramucosal pH in dogs with sepsis. Methods Sepsis was induced by intravenous infusion of lipopolysaccharide of E.coli.055:B5 to dogs,and the twenty dogs were divided into control group and ulinastatin group.Ulinastatin was administered in the ulinastatin group.The oxygen delivery(DO2),oxygen consumption(VO2), oxygen extraction(O2ER), plasma lactate levels and gastric intramucosal pH(pHi) were monitored. Results In early sepsis dogs,DO2,VO2,O2ER and plasma lactate levels increased significantly. Gastric intramucosal pH(pHi) decreased significantly. After the treatment with ulinastatin,DO2,VO2,O2ER and plasma lactate levels decreasd(P

Objective To investigate whether the biochemical function and morphology of stored outdated erythrocytes were able to be restored to normal levels.Methods The experiments were carried out with 4 groups of erythrocytes. Group 1 consists of post-rejuvenated erythrocytes, which were harvested by incubating twice washed stored erythrocytes on the 3 rd day after outdate at 37℃ for 1h, with a rejuvenating solution containing adenine 5mmol/L, inosine 100mmol/L, pyruvate 100mmol/L, phosphate 103mmol/L. Group 2 was pre-rejuvenate erythrocytes, obtained by washing stored erythrocytes on the 3rd day after outdate. Group 3 was saline control erythrocytes, which were incubated with 0.9% saline. Group 4 was freshly collected erythrocytes used as normal controls. ATP, 2, 3-DPG, morphology scores, MCV, osmotic fragility, and hemoglobin content of RBC in four groups were measured.Results The post-rejuvenate RBC ATP [(3.41?0.52)?mol/gHb] was significantly higher(P0.05) compared with fresh RBC [(3.45?0.51)?mol/gHb].The post-rejuvenate RBC 2,3-DPG [(14.08?3.10)?mol/gHb] was significantly higher(P0.05) compared with fresh RBC [(14.87?3.10)?mol/gHb].The post-rejuvenation morphology score(130.00?10.80) was significantly greater (P0.05) compared with fresh RBC (120.00?5.00). The post-rejuvenate mean corpuscular volume [(89.30? 7.20)fl] was significantly lower (P0.05). The hemoglobin shed in vesicles during rejuvenation was significantly greater than that in the saline control [(0.51?0.33)vs(0.20?0.18)mg/dl RBCs;P

To preliminarily study the pro⁃angiogenic activity of Echinococcus granulosus hydatid cysts against hu⁃ man umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro and the transcriptional level of potential pro⁃angiogenic factors. Methods The hydatid cysts and protoscolex derived from experimentally infected mice were collected and cultured in vitro，then the human umbilical vein endothelial cells were stimulated by the supernatant and cyst fluid respectively，and the angiogenesis was observed and analyzed through a microscope and the angiogenesis mode of the software NIH Image J. Meanwhile，the mouse homologous proteins of matrix metalloproteinase⁃9（MMP⁃9）and high mobility group box B1（HMGB1）were identified in E. granulosus genome through sequence alignment，and their transcriptional levels in the cyst wall and protoscolex were analyzed. Results The culture supernatant of hydatid cysts significantly promoted human umbilical vein endothelial cells into tubes（F = 73.03，P < 0.001），the transcriptions of MMP⁃9 and HMGB1 were detected in the cyst wall and protoscolex，and the transcriptional level of MMP⁃9 was higher in protoscolex（t = -11.65，P < 0.001），while the level of HMGB1 was higher in hydatid cysts（t = 6.43，P = 0.003）. Conclusion Some parasite⁃derived pro⁃angiogenic molecules may exist in the supernatant of E. granulosus hydatid cysts，while further researches are required into their exact mechanisms.

Objective To investigate the surgical methods and effect of double-cut nasolabial muscle directional three-dimensional reconstruction on the secondary deformity of unilateral cleft lip repair.Methods We first increased a contralateral vermilion secondary incision based on the nasolabial muscle directional three-dimensional reconstruction, without damaging the contralateral white lip skin, via suturing both sides of nose wings bundle of nose outside corner under the columella muscle, and overlapping suturing both sides of the orbicularis muscle flap, and then rebuilt and took shape of the nest and the crest.Results All incisions healed well in 18 patients, all nasal deformities were corrected better than the traditional methods, with the nasal base plump, the nasal sill formed close to the contralateral side, and rebuild the philtrumdimple and philtrum crest, with clear appearance and symmetrical form.A good appearance was obtained on the both sides of nostril, nasal base and the nasal sill, and the effect of preoperative design achieved.Conclusions Both sides of the nostrils size, nasal sill and shape are almost perfectly symmetrical, and the double-cut nasolabial muscle directional three-dimensional reconstruction is suitable for repairing the secondary deformity after unilateral cleft lip repair.

Objective To evaluate multi-slice spiral CT venography (MSCTV) and digital subtraction venography (DSV) in diagnosing iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) and secondary thrombosis. Methods The imaging materials, including MSCTV and DSV performed before and after the thrombolysis therapy, of 38 patients with clinically-suspected IVCS were collected. The inner diameters of the compressed iliac veins were measured on MSCTV images and the compression ratio was calculated. Usingχ2 test, the detection rates of IVCS by MSCTV and DSV were compared. Results Of 38 patients, IVCS was detected by MSCTV in 29, by pretreatment DSV in 20 and by post-treatment DSV in 29. The difference in the detection rate of IVCS between MSCTV and pre-treatment DSV was statistically significant (χ2=4.65, 0.010.05). Conclusion For the diagnosis of IVCS, MSCTV is superior to pre-treatment DSV in the diagnostic accuracy of iliac vein compression syndrome. Therefore, MSCTV should be used as the preferred method of examination.(J Intervent Radiol, 2015, 24:301-305)

Objective Increased renal mast cells have been found in significant correlation with clinicopathological features of diabetic nephropathy ( DN) .However, the exact pathological significance of mast cells still remained to be elucidated.As one of the most abundant serine proteases, tryptase is specifically expressed by mast cells.The study was to observe the expression of tryptase in the urine of patients with diabetic nephropathy and realize the pathological significance of urinary tryptase and renal mast cells in the development of diabetic nephropathy. Methods Urine samples from 103 patients with diabetic nephropathy who were hospitalized at the clinical unit of the nephrology centre of Jingling Hospital from January 2012 to June 2013 were collected.According to concentra-tion of urinary albumin excretion rate, the patients were conducted to early-stage DN group (microalbuminuria,n=10), middle-stage DN group (proteinuria stage, n=31) and end-stage DN group (renal insufficiency stage,n=62).Meanwhile, urine samples from 20 normal persons were taken as the normal control group.Tryptase level in each urine sample was measured by using an ELISA kit.The average tryptase levels were compared among different groups and the correlation between urinary tryptase level and clinical indices was analyzed. Results ①In most cases, tryptase was not detected in the urine samples from normal persons(0.7 ±1.4 ng/mg creati-nine).However, the urinary trypatse level increased significantly with the development of diabetic nephropathy (11.6 ±10.5 ng/mg creatinine for early stage, 29.7 ±19.2 ng/mg creatinine for middle stage, and 44.6 ±43.4 ng/mg creatinine for late stage group).②The urinary tryptase level was found in significant correlation with ser-um creatinine (r=0.325, P<0.01), serum cystatin C (r=0.391, P<0.01), serum urea nitrogen (r=0.27, P<0.01), 24 hour uri-nary protein (r=0.389, P<0.01), urine C3 (r=0.276, P<0.05), urine retinol-binding protein (r=0.365, P<0.01), urine lysozyme (r=0.461, P<0.01), urine N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase level (r=0.568, P<0.01), urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (r=0.434, P<0.05) and interleukin-18 level (r=0.375, P<0.05).No significant correlation was found between urinary tryptase level and age, gender, fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar, HbA1c, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein or low density lipo-protein. Conclusion Mast cells play an important role in the development of diabetic nephropathy and might be a novel and effective target for the treatment of DN.

Aim To investigate the effects of co-administration of Astragalus Saponin Ⅰ(ASI)and bendazac lysine(BDL)on hypertrophy of cultured rat mesangial cells and its mechanism.Methods The levels of collagen Ⅳ and laminin,the percentages of cells in S phase,the relative quantity of transforming growth factor ?1(TGF-?1) mRNA and indexes of oxidative status were assayed after the cells were incubated in different agents for 36 h.Results The percentage of S phase cells in high glucose group(HG) was greatly decreased while those of vitamin E group(VE) and co-administration groups were increased.The relative quantity of TGF-?1 mRNA and the collagen Ⅳ level in co-administration groups were significantly decreased,and the levels of total anti-oxidative capability(T-AOC),activity of catalase(CAT),GSH-PX,and SOD were greatly increased.Furthermore,the significant differences were found between low ASI(AL)group,low BDL(BL) group and co-administration of low ASI and low BDL(AL+BL) group for TGF-?1 mRNA,T-AOC and GSH-PX;the high ASI group(AH),high BDL group(BH) and co-administration of high ASI and high BDL group(AH+BH) for TGF-?1 mRNA and collagen Ⅳ,respectively. Conclusion Co-administration of ASI and BDL has synergetic effects on regulating TGF-?1,collagen Ⅳ,and radical oxidative stress,therefore,is beneficial to protecting rat mesangial cells against hypertrophy.
