Objective To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic techniques for corrections of facial contour deformities.MethodsA total of 58 patients(48 women and 10 men)with square face(38),prominent zygoma(12),or crooked noses(8)were treated by endoscopic-assisted technique in our hospital.Results The operation time ranged from 40 to 86 min(mean,65 min),and intraoperative blood loss was 60-120 ml(mean,78 ml).The patients were discharged from the hospital in 3 to 7 days(mean 4)after the surgery,and was followed up for 3 to 24 months.During the period,no one had unexpected fracture,injuries to the mental and facial nerves and vessels,or infection.All the patients were satisfied with the surgical outcomes.ConclusionsEndoscopic-assisted correction of facial contour deformities is feasible,safe,and effective.

Objective: This work aimed to construct stable MCF-7 cell sublines from which staphylococcal nuclease domain con-taining 1 (SND1) expression was interfered to analyze the effect of SND1 silencing on the proliferation and metastasis of MCF-7 cells. Methods: The lentivirus that could mediate SND1 silencing was prepared. MCF-7 cells were infected with the lentiviruses to construct stable sub-cell lines. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis were employed to determine SND1 ex-pression level. MTS, wound healing, and transwell assays were applied to analyze the effect of SND1 silencing on the proliferation, mi-gration, and invasion of MCF-7 cells. Results: A lentivirus expression vector that contains sequences encoding shRNAs targeting SND1 and an shRNA negative control were successfully established. The lentiviruses (LV-SH1, LV-SH2, LV-SH3, and 和 LV-NC) were then collected and packaged. Stabilized MCF-7 sublines were prepared through infection with lentiviruses. The most efficient MCF-7 stable cell subline, MCF-SH3, was selected for SND1 silencing. Compared with the control cell, the proliferation, migration, and inva-sion potential of MCF-SH3 were significantly decreased. Conclusion: SND1 could promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer cells. Thus, silencing SND1 expression will inhibit such proliferation, migration, and invasion. These results indicated that the unusual expression of SND1 is associated with breast cancer and may participate in cancer progression by affecting prolifera-tion, migration, and invasion.

[Objective] This study was to investigate the effect of TMP on function of EPCs in normal or hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)inducing injury model cell culture,and to approach a therapy to coronary heart disease(CHD).[Method] Total mononuclear cells were isolated from the cord blood by ficoll density gradient centrifugation,cultured in vitro.After the cells cultured for 7 days,identified them by cellmarkers and the ability of intaking the ac-LDL,and made sure they were EPCs.To divide the cells into three groups,TMP(5,25,100,200mg),H2O2(500??)model and TMP together with H2O2,cultured for 24h and then detected the function and apoptosis of EPCs.[Result] Versus to control group,the TMP(5,25,100mg)groups had no important effect on the proliferation and adhesion of EPCs,but TMP(200mg)group had negative effect on EPCs.Versus to H2O2 model group,TMP(5,25,100mg)preincubated groups had important protective effect on EPCs in proliferation,adhesion and apoptosis.[Conclusion] TMP could protect EPCs from oxidative stress injury,but had little benefit to EPCs in normal incubation.

Objective To observe the effect of porphyra yezoensis polysaccharide (PYP) on cerebrum tissue of diabetic rats and apoptosis. Methods 60 Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group, diabetic model group, and treated groups respectively with PYP (0.25 g/kg × d), PYP (0.5 g/kg × d), and PYP (1 g/kg × d). The cerebrum pathologic changes were observed by HE staining method, and the number of apoptotic cells was observed by electrophoresis and the mRNA expression of p53 and bcl-2 was confirmed by RT-PCR. Results PYP improved the cerebrum pathologic changes of diabetic rats. With comparison to the diabetic model group, the cerebrum pathologic change in the treated groups also improved. And the number of apoptotic cells, the expression of p53 in cerebrum tissue decreased and expressions of bcl-2 rose. Conclusion PYP can decrease the expression of p53 in cerebrum tissue and rise expressions of bcl-2 so as to protect brain tissues from cerebral ischemia.

Objective To search for a procedure for correction of square face. Methods 68 patients with square face (aged from 21～40 years, with 65 females and 3 males) underwent osteetomy combined mandibular angle triangle resection with lateral cortex around the mandibular angle-splitting by intraoral approach. The mandible outer cortex was splited with bone chisel and mandible angle was resected by the high-speed pneumatic drill. The bulky masseter muscle and the enbonpoint buecal fat-pad were scissored. Results The application of high-speed pneumatic drill and bone chisel facilitated resection of the mandibular angle with lateral cortex splitting osteetomy. The operative effects were satisfactory in 56 patients during 3-24 months of follow-up. The bigonial distance was effectively re-duced, and facial shape became ellipse. The gross asymmetry and mandibular fracture were not conse-quences. The lateral contour of the mandibular angle was natural. Conclusion Ostectomy of mandible angle and lateral cortex of the mandible allows the reduction of the mandibular contour of the frontal view and the lateral contour of mandibular angle becomes soft, giving a more natural appearance. This new method is worthy to be applied widely because of the good result with effective reduction of the mandibular width.

Objective To explore the experience in diagnosis and treatment ot primary transitional cell carcinoma of prostate for the early and accurate to diagnosis and treatment.Methods The clinical data and features of 3 cases were retrospectively reviewed.Results All patients were diagnosed as primary transitional cell carcinoma of prostate.Two cases were advanced tumor.The preoperative examinations (ultrasound and serum,PSA) have failed to accurately indicate the diagnosis.All of them were confirmed by pathological examination.1 case lost follow-up,1 case performed TURP + chemotherapy through intravesical administration have survived 17 months respectively till today.The other case has already survived 2 months postoperatively but with lumbar spine bone metastasis.Conclusions Early diagnosis of primary transitional cell carcinoma of prostate is difficult.The diagnosis of the disease depends on the transrectal needle biopsy of the prostate or the specimens of the prostate after the Urethroscopy.Because of the prognosis is bad,and prone to pathological missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis.Need to exclude multicentric lesions and mixed tumor and choice of treatment method.

Objective To improve the accuracy of X-ray diagnosis of the deltoid ligament injury by evaluating the influence of plantar flexion on the diagnosis.Methods Twenty-four patients with ankle supination-extemal rotation fracture which was distal fibula fracture but no medial malleolus fracture were treated from February 2010 to December 2010.All the patients were taken Mortise radiograph with the ankle in four positions of plantar flexion(0°,15°,30° and 45°)applied with rotational stress and the deltoid ligament injury was identified with MRI.The medical clear space(MCS)and the superior clear space(SCS)on each radiograph were measured.The results were tested by a one-way analysis of variance model(ANOVA),based on the following criteria:(1)the MCS≥ 4 mm and MCS ＞ SCS,or when MCS≥5 mm and MCS ＞SCS.The MRI examination was taken as the gold standard to compare the influence of X-ray diagnosis of the deltoid ligament injury with different plantar flexions and different standards.Results The average MCS in four positions of plantar flexion(0°,15°,30°,and 45 °)with rotational stress were(4.10 ±0.79)mm,(4.55 ±0.72)mm,(4.99 ±0.56)mm and(5.71 ±0.86)ram,with statistical difference(P ＜0.05).The average SCS in four positions of plantar flexion(0°,15°,30°,and 45°)were(3.56 ±0.41)mm,(3.50 ±0.43)mm,(3.71 +0.44)mm and(3.93 ±0.51)mm,with no statistical difference in the four groups(P ＞0.05).With the MSC≥4 mm and MSC ＞ SCS as the diagnostic criteria,the prevalence of false-positive findings of deltoid injury based on the ratio with the four positions of plantar flexion(0°,15°,30° and 45°)were 50.0％,66.7％,88.9％ and 94.4％ respectively.With the MSC≥5 mm and MSC ＞SCS as the diagnostic criteria,the prevalence of false-positive findings of deltoid injury based on the ratio with the four positions of plantar flexion(0°,15°,30° and 45°)were 5.6％,11.1％,38.9％ and 77.8％ respectively.Condusions Different plantar flexion angle is an important factor for X-ray diagnosis of deltoid ligament injury of the ankle joint.The prevalence of false-positive findings of deltoid injury increases with the increase of plantar flexion.
