Objective To repair and reconstruct severe burn wounds on face,hands and joints with the principles and techniques of plastic and aesthetic surgery.Methods Twenty three burn victims in a single batch were transferred from a remote area to our Burns Institute on post burn day 2,June 28,2006.All the patients were males aged from 17 to 46 years,with a mean of 24.4?6.3 years,the mean total burn area was 15.7%?13.9% TBSA(ranged from 6% to 75%),with moderate to severe inhalation injury,and fourteen of them had received tracheostomy.The burn areas on face ranged from 0.5% to 3% TBSA,and all of them were deep second or third degree burn.The burn areas on hands ranged from 1% to 4% TBSA of deep second or third degree.On post burn day 3,the patients received escharectomy or tangential excision of eschar on hands followed by split thickness skin grafting with the principles and techniques of plastic and aesthetic surgery.During post burn week 2 to 3,the eschar on the faces were peeled off,followed by split-thickness skin grafting according to the principles and techniques of plastic and aesthetic surgery.Results All the wounds on the face and joints were repaired successfully,the configuration and functions were satisfactory.Conclusion It is feasible to repair the burn wounds on face and joints with the principles and techniques of plastic and aesthetic surgery for the burn patients of mass fire catastrophe.

Objective To investigate the expression of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF)in skin lesions and sera of patients with pustular psoriasis and psoriasis vulgaris.Methods Tissue specimens were obtained from the lesions of 15 patients with pustular psoriasis,15 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 15 normal human controls.Immunohistochemistry and dual antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)were carried out to detect the levels of GM-CSF in the tissue and serum specimens from the patients and normal human controls,respectively.Results Significantly higher levels of GM-CSF were observed in the tissue and serum specimens from patients with pustular psoriasis and psoriasis vulgaris compared with the normal controls(all P ＜ 0.01),as well as in those from the patients with pustular psoriasis compared with the patients with psoriasis vulgaris(both P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion GM-CSF may be involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of multiband mucosectomy (MBM) for the treatment of early esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions.Methods The clinical data of 43 patients with early esophageal cancer or precancerous lesions (including 13 cases of early esophageal cancer and 30 cases of precancerous lesion) who were admitted to the Tengzhou Central People's Hospital from January 2010 to January 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 51 lesions were confirmed by preoperative endoscopy and mucosal biopsy,and then were treated by MBM.Results A total of 52 MBM procedures were carried out,and 180 lesions were resected.The sizes of the lesions ranged from 10 mm × 8 mm to 25 mm × 23 mm,and the mean operation time was (37 ± 5)minutes.The complete resection rate was 92.2％ (47/51).The submucosal layer of 1 patient was invaded by squamous cell carcinoma postoperatively,and the patient was treated by operation;1 patient wth squamous epithelium carcinoma was treated by radiotherapy at 2 weeks after MBM ; the other 2 lesions were treated by argon plasma coagulation (APC).Four lesions with bleeding were detected during 52 MBM procedures,and no esophageal perforation was detected during MBM.Early complications consisted of delayed bleeding (1 patient,cured by APC) and slight esophageal stenosis (1 patient,recovered at postoperative month 6).The accurate rate of pathological examinations was 51.0％ (26/51).Forty-three patients were followed up for 1 year,3 patients with tumor recurrence were treated by MBM or APC.No death occurred during the followup.Conclusion MBM is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of early esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions.

We predicted the anti-ulcerative colitis (UC) mechanism of Fructus Amomi based on network pharmacology. The anti-UC activity of Fructus Amomi were investigated by in vivo animal experiment, and the active components of Fructus Amomi were obtained through TCMSP, PubChem database and literature research. Animal welfare and experimental procedures follow the regulations of the Animal Ethics Committee of Institute of Materia Medica of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The potential targets of the active components and UC were predicted by SwissTargetPrediction, GeneCards and TTD databases. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed by String database and Cytoscape software was used to construct a visual network of active component-disease target and perform topological analysis. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed using Metascape platform. The molecular docking of key components and core targets was carried out by Sybyl X software. We screened out a total of 12 active components and 189 disease-component overlapping targets. Enrichment analyses obtained 227 related GO items and 168 signaling pathways. According to the results of molecular docking, most active components of Fructus Amomi showed good affinity with the JAKs receptor family. Furthermore, Western blot results verified that Fructus Amomi could effectively inhibit JAK/STAT signaling pathway, indicating that Fructus Amomi might exert the anti-UC activity by regulating JAK/STAT signaling pathway.

Anxiety is usually generated because of the threatened feeling. The data of electrocardio, respiration, blood volume pulse and skin conductance signals were collected. The arithmetic of Relief were used for the feature selection and combined with k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) arithmetic and Support Vector Machine (SVM) arithmetic for classification. The results show that the combination of Relief-SVM is better than combination of Relief-kNN on the recognition of anxiety state. The emotion recognition based on multi-physiological signals is superior to that based on one single signal.

Objective This study is to investigate the protective effect of creatine phosphate so-dium on circulatory function in unilateral total knee replacement surgery using bone cement implanta-tion.Methods Forty patients undergoing unilateral total knee replacement surgery with bone cement were randomly assigned into 2 groups:test group (group CP,n=20)and control group (group NS, n=20).The easophageal doppler ultrasound probe was placed at the level of the third rib transorally after induction in each patient.In group CP,creatine phosphate sodium (2 g in 100 ml normal saline) was infused (within 30 min)at 30 min before the operation,as well as normal saline 100 ml in group NS.SBP,DBP,HR,SpO2 ,PET CO2 and BIS were monitored and recorded before (T0 )and 1 (T1 ),3 (T2 ),5 (T3 ),10 (T4 )min after insertion of bone cement.Cardiac output (CO),stroke volume (SV)and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV)were simultaneously monitored and recorded with esophageal doppler ultrasound.WhileⅡ-lead electrocardiogram were recorded to monitor ven-tricular arrhythmia perioperatively.Results SBP,DBP and HR decreased at T2 and T3 in group NS, and were lower than those in group CP (P <0.05 );Meanwhile,compared with group CP,CO and SV were significantly lower,while LVEDV was significantly higher in group NS (P <0.05 ).Com-pared with T0 ,CO and SV decreased and LVEDV increased at T2 and T3 in group NS (P <0.05 ). After insertion of bone cement,the incidence of arrhythmia in group CP was obviously lower than that in group NS (P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Pretreatment with creatine phosphate sodium can effectively prevent the incidence of bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS)by stabilizing hemodynamic in elderly patients undergoing total knee replacement with bone cement.

Objective:To investigate the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule -1(sICAM-1)in blood serum and gingival tissue in rat periodontitis model in normoxia and chronic intermittent hypoxia environment. Methods:32 male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups(n =8):normoxia control group(group A),normoxia periodontitis group(group B),hypoxic control group(group C)and hypoxia periodontitis group(group D).The periodontitis models were estab-lished by ligating the bilateral maxillary second molar and raised by periodontitis diet.The rats in hypoxia groups were raised under chronic intermittent hypoxia environment,while those in normoxia groups were raised under normoxia environment.After 8 weeks, plaque index(PLI),bleeding index(BI)and attachment lost(AL)were measured,TNF-αand sICAM-1 concentrations in blood serum and gingival tissue were measured by ELISA.Results:TNF-αand sICAM-1 concentrations in blood serum and gingival tissue in group A were higher than those in group B,C(P ＜0.05);in group D were lower than in group B and C(P ＜0.05).TNF-αand sICAM-1 levels in blood serum and gingival tissue were positively correlated with AL(P ＜0.05).Conclusion:In chronic intermittent hypoxic environment TNF-αand sICAM-1 may aggravate periodontitis,and promote the inflammatory response to peripheral vascular system.

Objective To investigate the influence and the possible mechanism of tea polyphenols on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD)patients’ oxidative stress and micro inflammatory condition.Methods 60 cases of MHD patients were randomly divided into routine group and tea polyphenols group.30 healthy subjects were chosen as normal control group.After 3 months,MDA,AOPP,SOD,TNF-α,CRP,IL-6 and NF-κB of routine group and tea polyphenols group were detected.Results Before treatment,compared with normal control group,MDA and AOPP of routine group and tea polyphenols group increased (P <0.01 ),SOD decreased (P <0.01 );after treatment,compared with routine group,MDA and AOPP of tea polyphenols group decreased (P<0.01),SOD increased (P<0.01).After treatment,compared with normal control group,NF-κB,TNF-α,CRP, IL-6 and oxidative index of routine group and tea polyphenols group increased,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01);compared with routine group,oxidative index of tea polyphenols group decreased,and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.01 ).Conclusion Tea polyphenol can improve MHD patients’oxidative stress and micro inflammatory state.
