Objective To explore the influence of vacuum sealing drainage(VSD) technology in snake bite treatment.Methods 108 patients of snake bites need to incision decompression were randomly divided into two groups,VSD group (VSD) 58 cases,conventional group (wound change dressings ordinarily) 50 cases.The secondary suture of time,the number of change dressings,material consumption fees,antibiotics use cost,wound infection rate,in hospital,average length of hospital stay were compared between two groups.Results Compared the VSD group with the conventional group,the secondary suture of time (t =11.743,P ＜ 0.05),the number of change dressings (t =50.661,P ＜ 0.05),material consumption fees (t =9.054,P ＜ 0.05),antibiotics use cost (t =21.515,P ＜ 0.05),wound infection rate (x2 =9.155,P ＜ 0.05),in hospital,average length of hospital stay (t =10.350,P ＜ 0.05) had significant differences.Conclusion VSD technique can be a ideal way to treat snake bites patients and worth popularizing at this stage.

Objective To observe the effects of metformin on the serum levels of adiponectin,interleukin-18(IL-18) and C-reactive protein(C-RP) in overweight/obese type 2 diabetes. Methods The changes of serum levels of HOMA2-IR,adiponectin,IL-18,C-RP and lipid profiles were observed before and after the treatment of metformin. Results After the eight weeks of treatment,the levels of adiponectin and IL-18 were not significantly changed,while C-RP(0.49±0.23 vs 0.89±0.22ng/dl),total cholesterol(TC)(4.58±0.83 vs 6.15±2.23mmol/L),LDL-C(2.65±0.78 vs 3.66±0.84mmol/L) and HOMA2-IR(1.1±0.7 vs 2.3±1.7) were decreased (all P<0.05),HDL-C(1.23±0.30 vs 1.02±0.24mmol/L) was increased (P<0.05). Conclusions Metformin may reduce the serum C-RP level and modulate the disorder of blood lipids,but may have no effect on adiponectin and IL-18

Objective To discuss errors of conformal plumbic blocks made with manual cutter and automatic cutter.Methods According to beam files of Treatment Planning System,the conformal plumbic blocks were made with manual cutter and automatic cutter respectively.Then their errors were measured.Results With manual cutter,the errors of conformal plumbic blocks were 2.355 mm.With automatic cutter,the errors of conformal plumbic blocks were 1.425 mm.Conclusion The errors of conformal plumbic blocks made with automatic cutter are less than the errors of conformal plumbic blocks made with manual cutter,so automatic cutter should be a necessary tool in making conformal plumbic blocks.

ObjectiveTo evaluate morphometric changes of brain in patients with alcohol addiction by voxel-based morphometry. MethodsFifteen patients with alcohol addiction and 15 health controls were recruited and underwent fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) and 3D fast spoiled gradient echo (FSPGR) T1 -weighted sequences on a 3.0 T MRI system. 3D FSPGR T1 structure images were normalized,segmented and smoothed, and then underwent voxel-based morphometry. An ANCOVA was applied with age,body mass index ( BMI ), and education years as covariates because of exact sex match.A statistical threshold of P ＜ 0. 01 (uncorrected) and more than continuous 50 voxels were determined as significant.ResultsRegional results showed there was a significant reduction of gray matter volume in left middle frontal gyrus, superior frontal gyrus, precuneus, gyrus rectus, right medial superior frontal gyrus and orbital gyrus in patients with alcohol addiction compared with health controls, and the regional reduction of white matter volume in patients with alcohol addiction mainly located in the white matter of bilateral superior frontal gyrus. Global brain volume analysis showed there was a significant smaller volume in white matter [ (675. 14 ± 70. 62) ml]and brain parenchyma [ ( 1578. 81 ± 199. 05 ) ml]for patient group than that in white matter [ ( 841.33 :± 177. 35 ) ml]and brain parenchyma [ ( 1722. 13 ± 117.62) ml]for control group (t ＝ 11.37,5. 764, respectively, P ＜0. 05 ), but there was no difference in the gray matter volume between patient group [(903.67 ±1±9.87) ml]and control group [(880.79 ±1±7.10) ml](t ＝0.177, P＞0. 05 ). ConclusionsRegional gray and white matter atrophy can be the initial changes in patients with alcohol addiction and the frontal region is a relative specific damaged brain region.VBM has a potential value for the detection of subtle brain atrophy in patients with alcohol addiction.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease accompanied with airway inflammation, airway remodeling and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Chemokines are important for the recruitment of immune cells to the lung, which play an important role in the formation and development of asthma. Targeting the chemokine receptors to anti-inflammation and anti-asthma is a new strategy and some candidate drugs are discovered recently. This review is focused on the development of chemokine receptor antagonists for anti-asthma, which will promote the compound designations.

BACKGROUND: With good biocompatibility, osteoconduction and biodegradability, calcium phosphate ceramics is considered as a substitute of autologous bone; furthermore, it also has the potentiel of osteoinduction after structure optimization. OBJECTIVE: To review the physicochemical properties of calcium phosphate ceramic and its osteoinduction. METHODS: A computer-based search of databases such as PubMed, Springer, ResearchGate and Baidu Academic was performed for articles relevant to calcium phosphate ceramics published from January 2000 to October 2015. And the keywords were “calcium phosphate, osteoinduction, tissue engineering, scaffolds” in English. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: To date, there are four ideal kinds of calcium phosphate materials including hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, amorphous calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate biphasic ceramic material. Hydroxyapatite has better strength and cel adsorption capacity, but has poor biodegradation. Tricalcium phosphate has good abilities of osteogenesis and degradation, but its degradation rate is hard to match the new bone formation,and its strength is also relatively poor. Amorphous calcium phosphate has neither strength nor solubility. In contrast, biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics has moderate degradation rate between hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate, and therefore, it either can be replaced by autologous bone after degradation or exhibits proper strength. While how to further improve the physical properties and promote osteogenesis stil need much deeper research.

Objective To explore the correlation of helicobacter pylori(HP) infection in liver cirrhosis(LC) of different syndrome patterns with blood ammonia level.Methods Two hundred and seventeen LC patients were divided into Hp-positive group and Hp-negative group.The patients were classified into 6 syndrome patterns: liver-Qi stagnation,internal accumulation of water-dampness,stagnation of damp-heat,deficiency of liver and kidney yin,deficiency of spleen and kidney yang,and blood-stasis blocking collaterals.Parameters of blood ammonia level,hepatic function and blood coagulation function were observed in LC patients with different syndrome patterns.Results The Hp infection rate in 217 LC patients was 40.1%,the difference being insignificant in the patients with different syndrome patterns and hepatic function grading.The percentage was in a decreasing sequence in syndrome patterns of stagnation of damp-heat,internal accumulation of water-dampness,blood-stasis blocking collaterals,deficiency of liver and kidney yin,liver-Qi stagnation,deficiency of spleen and kidney yang.The difference of blood ammonia level was significant between Hp-positive group and Hp-negative group(P0.05).Conclusion Hp infection is an important factor of inducing the increase of blood ammonia level in LC.Blood ammonia level increases in LC patients after Hp infection,especially in patients with blood-stasis blocking collaterals.The hepatic function grading is corrected with blood ammonia level,the worse the hepatic function,the higher the blood ammonia level.

Objective: To investigate the late identification and its influencing factors of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City, so as to provide insights into the development of strategies for early detection and identification of HIV/AIDS cases. Methods: Basic information, identification routes and CD4+T lymphocyte counts among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Shangcheng District from 2013 to 2022 were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The proportion of late identification of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases was analyzed, and factors affecting late identification was analyzed by a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: Totally 1 052 HIV/AIDS cases were newly reported in Shangcheng District from 2013 to 2022, including 1 011 males (96.10%), and had a mean age of (32.90±12.39) years. There were 333 cases with late identification, accounting for 31.65%. The proportions of late identification have no significant changing trend from 2013 to 2022 (P>0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that HIV/AIDS cases aged 25 years and older (25 to 49 years, OR=1.894, 95%CI: 1.350-2.658; 50 years and older, OR=3.010, 95%CI: 1.838-4.928) had a higher risk of late identification, while HIV/AIDS cases with college degree and above (OR=0.655, 95%CI: 0.459-0.936) and identified by voluntary counseling and testing (OR=0.542, 95%CI: 0.380-0.772) had a lower risk of late identification. Conclusions The proportion of late identification of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Shangcheng District from 2013 to 2022 was 31.65%. Age, educational level and identification route were important factors affecting late identification of HIV/AIDS cases in Shangcheng District.
