Objective To explore the clinical therapy for cyclosporine A(CsA)-induced gingival overgrowth (GO) and the pathological changes in gingival overgrowth tissues.Methods Nine cases of CsA-induced GO after renal transplantation were subjected to periodontal non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment.Under light and electron microscopy,the pathological changes in CO tissues were observed.Results The bleeding index(BI) and the plaque index(PLI) of patients were declined after periodontal treatment.GO recurred in 2 patients 6 months later and happened to recur in all 9 patients 12 months later(GOD≤1).At 18th month after transplantation,an obvioUS GO(GOD≥2)occurred in one patient,and re-operation was done to cut hyperplastic gingiva.At 48th month during the observation period,GO existed continuously but no more than 2 in GOD.There were 3 other patients who had their GO(GOD≥2)at 24th month after peridental treatment and re-operation was carried out to remove the hyperplasic gingivaL Under a light microscope,epithelial pegs constituted of basal cells and prickle cells elongated and presented as cancellation structure;spinus layer thickened:hyperkeratosis or parakeratosis occurred in cuticular layer where inflammatory cells infiltrated:collagen increased in proper layer.Under the transmission electron microscopy,the volume of fibroblasts in hyperplastic gingival tissues was increased,rough endoplansmic reticula in the intracytoplasm were abundant and expanded slightly,and there were a few of the apoptotic fibroblasts in the early stage.Conclusion BI and PLl were declined in patients taking CyA for a long-term who were subjected to periodontal and surgical treatments.GO recurred in some patients.The proliferation and differentiation of fibroblasts was not observed in hyperplastic gingival tissues.

Objective Analysis of clinical distribution and susceptibility to antimicrobial agents in producing extended spectrumβ-lactamases (ESBLs)of Escherichia coli(ECO)and Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN).Methods The samples from 2013 April to 2014 December in Changji Prefecture People′s Hospital were cultured and identified,drug sensitivity test did by VITEK2compat au-tomatic bacteria analysis,phenotypic confirmatory test was did on producing ESBLs ECO and KPN,and the clinical distribution and drug resistance was analyzed.Results 1 576 strains of ECO and KPN isolated 306 strains of producing ESBLs strains and 343 strains of multi drug resistant bacteria,the isolation rates were 1 9.4% and 21.8% respectively.In 576 strains of ECO,there were 1 77 strains of producing ESBLs strains and 202 strains of multi drug resistant bacteria were isolated,the separation rates were 30.7% and 35.1% respectively,generic drug resistant strains were not found,and those producing ESBLs strains were isolated mainly from the urine specimens (39.5%),and mainly from the ICU (37.3%)and (29.9%)the surgical ward.There were 129 strains of producing ESBLs strains,141 strains of multi drug resistant bacteria and 4 generic drug resistant strains were isolated from 1 000 strains of KPN,the separation rates were 12.9%,14.1% and 0.4% respectively,and those producing ESBLs strains were isolated mainly from sputum specimens (83.7%),and mainly from the ICU (42.6%)and(29.5%)in the department of inter-nal medicine.Isolation of producing ESBLs ECO and multi drug resistant bacteria were higher than KPN,the difference were statis-tically significant (P <0.05).The sensitivities of ECO and KPN ESBLs strains to carbapenems imipenem andaminoglycosides ami-kacin and compound preparation piperacillin/tazobactam were good,the other antimicrobial drug resistance rates were more than 50.0%.Conclusion ESBLs ECO mainly causes urinary tract infections,KPN mainly causes respiratory tract infection.Detection rates of producing ESBLs ECO and KPN were high,and the multi drug resistance is serious,should strengthen the monitoring of drug resistance on producing ESBLs strains,and according to the results of drug susceptibility,standardize the rational use of anti-microbial agents,and to strengthen the management of antimicrobial agents,delay the occurrence of bacterial resistance.

To treat large facial defect (more than 6 cm x 4 cm in diameter) or a wound with bone exposure to atmosphere by less-traumatic, easier-healing reconstruction method, a pedicle flap including facial, neck, posterior auricle and occipital skin flap was designed and transferred, one by one, to repair facial defect as well as other flap donor sites, but occipital skin flap was only used to cover posterior auricle area. After 2-3 years follow-up, well-healed skin flaps with good color, elasticity and sensation were observed in all 16 patients. It is concluded that this method is effective and practical.

Objective To investigate the effects of paravertebral injection of different concentrations of adriamycin on motor conduction function in rats. Methods Eighty healthy male Wistar rats weighing 250-300 gwere randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 20 each): 3 adriamycin groups receiving paravertebral injection of 0.3%, 0.5% and 1.0% adriamycin 10 μl respectively (group A1, A2, A3) and control group (group C)receiving equal volume of normal saline (NS) instead of adriamycin. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 3% pentobarbital 40 mg/kg. A right paramedian incision was made in the back from L3 to S1.L4,5,5,6 intervertebral foramina were exposed. 0.3%, 0.5% and 1.0% adriamycin and NS 10 pl were injected into the intervertebral foramina in group A1, A2, A3 and C respectively. Spinal motor evoked pontential (SMEP)was measured at 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks (T1-4)after paravertebral injection. Results The latent period of SMEP was significantly prolonged and the amplitude decreased at T1-4 in group A3 as compared with group A1, A2 and C.Conclusion Paravertebral injection of 1.0% adriamycin can significantly depress motor conduction function.

Objective To evaluate the histologic changes of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and pain threshold following implantation of iodine-125(125I) seeds in the lumbar intervertebral foramina in rats.Methods Thirtysix adult male SD rats aged 6 months weighing 220-250 g were randomly assigned into 3 groups (n =12 each):group sham operation (group A) and groups low and high radioactive 125I seeds (groups B and C).125I seeds of 0.4 and 0.8 mCi were implanted in L4,5 and L5,6 intervertebral foramina in groups B and C respectively.Paw withdrawal threshold to von Frey filament stimulation (MWT) and paw withdrawal latency to thermal nociceptive stimuli (TWL) were measured 2 days before (T1,baseline) and at 2,7,14,30 and 60 days after implantation (T2-6) in 6 animals in each group.The remaining 6 animals in each group were sacrificed at 14 and 60 days after 125I seeds implantation for microscopic examination of L5 DRG.Results MWT and TWL were significantly decreased after 125I seeds implantation at T4 compared with the baseline values at T1 in both groups,and returned to the baseline in group B and were significantly increased in group C at T6.The neurons were severely injured in DRG in groups B and C in a time-and dose-dependent manner.Conclusion Implantation of 125I seeds in intervertebral foramen can induce radiation resection of DRG.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of destruction of dorsal root ganglia with local doxorubicin injection guided by CT for postherpetic neuralgia involving thoracic back region. Methods One hundred and fifty patients suffering from postherpetic neuralgia in thoracic back region were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 50 each): group A oral medicine; B and C groups undergoing local injection under the guidance of C-arm and CT respectively + oral medicine. Three spinal segments severely affected by herpes virus were chosen for paravertebral puncture. 1% lidocaine 1 ml was injected at each segment as test dose. Fifteen minutes later doxorubicin 3.3 mg and betamethasone compound 4.7 mg were injected at each segment if no side-effect occurred. All 3 groups were given oral medicine according to the intensity of pain after local injection. The number of patients who exited from the study because of the side effects of oral medicine was recorded. VAS, sleep interference score (SIS) and a short form of McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ) were used to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment the day before (baseline), 24 h, 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months after local injection. The dosage of oxycodone extended-release tablets and gabapentin was recorded, and also the incidence of pneumothorax within 12 h after local injection. Results The exit rate, VAS, SIS and SF-MPQ scores, dosage of oxycodone extended-release tablet and gabapentin were significantly lower in B and C groups than in group A, but there was no significant difference between the 2 groups. The incidence of pneumothorax was 10% in group B but no pneumothorax developed in group C.Conclusion Destruction of dorsal root ganglia with local doxorubicin injection guided by CT is more effective for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia.

In order to find the most suitable algorithm of T-wave end point detection for clinical detection, we tested three methods, which are not just dependent on the threshold value of T-wave end point detection, i. e. wavelet method, cumulative point area method and trapezium area method, in PhysioNet QT database (20 records with 3 569 beats each). We analyzed and compared their detection performance. First, we used the wavelet method to locate the QRS complex and T-wave. Then we divided the T-wave into four morphologies, and we used the three algorithms mentioned above to detect T-wave end point. Finally, we proposed an adaptive selection T-wave end point detection algorithm based on T-wave morphology and tested it with experiments. The results showed that this adaptive selection method had better detection performance than that of the single T-wave end point detection algorithm. The sensitivity, positive predictive value and the average time errors were 98.93%, 99.11% and (--2.33 ± 19.70) ms, respectively. Consequently, it can be concluded that the adaptive selection algorithm based on T-wave morphology improves the efficiency of T-wave end point detection.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and influencing factors analysis of doxorubicin treatment for herpes zoster neuralgia postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).Methods From January 2010 to January 2014 in the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University,209 cases of herpes zoster neural-gia patients (94 males,1 1 5 females,aged 45-86 years)received doxorubicin non-vascular interven-tional treatment,using visual analogue scale (visual analogue scale,VAS score)to evaluate curative effect,then recorded the related factors of patients (gender,age,location,duration,and degree of pain,whether to have hypoimmunity disease,early antiviral treatment,the presence of hyperalgesia, and outbreak pain,drug concentration,guiding method,the recent curative effect).Using single-fac-tor analysis of variance procedure and multiple factors of logistic regression analysis.Results The to-tal effective rate was 82.76% (1 73/209)after one month,the total effective rate was 86.12% (180/209)after twelve months.Single factor analysis showed that age≤65 years,duration of diseases<3 months,severe pain(VAS≥ 7 )or with low immunity disease was significantly associated with the curative effect of treatment of PHN (P <0.05).Multi-factor analysis showed that with low immunity diseases such as malignant tumor (OR =1.418,95%CI 1.347-8.563),the course of the disease more than 3 months (OR = 2.408,95% CI 3.325-18.643 ) were independent prognostic factors of influencing curative effects.Conclusion With low immunity diseases such as malignant tumor and the duration of more than 3 months,curative effect of doxorubicin non-vascular interventional treatment may be poor,patients should be treated as early as possible.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of paravertebral injection of doxorubicin on pain behavior and ultrastructure of dorsal root ganglion ( DRG ) neurons in rats with neuropathic pain.MethodsOne hundred male SD rats,aged 3 months,weighing 200-250 g,were studied.The spared nerve injury (SNI) model was established by ligation and separation of tibial and common fibular nerves.The rats were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n =20 each):SNI group and different concentrations of doxorubicin groups (groups A1,A2,A3,A4 ).The animals were anesthetized with intrapetitaneal 10％ chioral hydrate 0.3 ml/100 g.The L4,6 intervertebral foramina was exposed.Normal saline and 0.25％,0.50％,0.75％ and 1.00％ doxorubicin 5 μl were injected into the intervertebral foramina in groups SNI,A1,A2,A3,and A4 respectively.The paw withdrawal latency to the radiant heat stimulation (PWL) and paw withdrawal duration to acetone (PWD) were measured before administration and on day 1-28 after administration.Three rats were chosen in each group on day 28 after administration and DRG were removed to observe the ultrastructure of large and small neurons with electron microscope.ResultsCompared with group SNI,PWL was significantly prolonged and PWD was significantly shortened in groups A1,A2,A3,A4 in a concentration manner ( P ＜ 0.05).Nucleus condensation,mitochondrial swelling,increased lysosomes,chromatin condensation,fibrosis of intercellular substances,and cell necrosis were observed in small neurons.Mitochondrial swelling and increased fibers wcre observed in large neurons and most of large neurons survived.ConclusionParavertebral injection of doxorubicin can reduce neuropathic pain and result in damage to large and small DRG neurons,and small neurons in the DRG are more susceptible and vulnerable to doxorubicin than large neurons in rats.
