BACKGROUND: With wide application of biotechnological substitute materials, pelvic repair and reconstruction develop to a certain degree. Biomaterial patch is a major substitute for repairing injured pelvic fascia tissue, so it is widely used for pelvic reconstruction.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility, efficacy, and clinical value of biomaterial patch to pelvic reconstruction in the females.METHODS: Articles related to pelvic functional disorder, pelvic reconstruction, and application of patch implant were retrieved from PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed) and (http://www.wanfangdata.com.cn) with the key words of "reconstruction of whole pelvic floor, mesh, synthetic mesh implants" in both Chinese and English between 1990 and 2008. Duplication studies were excluded. A total of 54 articles were initially retrieved, and 17 ones were included in the final analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Pelvic organ prohpse, which was a major symptom of pelvic disorder in the females, caused by defect of pelvic supporting structure, injury, and functional disorder. Traditional operation could not solve fundamental question.At present, substitute materials for pelvic repair and reconstruction mainly include biomaterial patch (self-substitute materials, homogeneity substitute materials, and heterogeneity substitute materials) and artificial patch. All of them could substitute the injured pelvic fascia tissue; therefore, they were major substitute materials of pelvic tissue and widely used for pelvic reconstruction. Patch which was used for pelvic reconstruction realized the recovery of anatomic structure and caused functional recovery, with simple and easy processing. Additionally, patch application did not prolong operative time and cause complication, but induced well tolerance, security and reliability, and remarkable short-term effect on patients. However, the long-term efficacy should be further studied. The modified pelvic reconstruction is clinically valuable for patients with varying prolapsed sites.

BACKGROUND:Long-distance, large-range tracheal stenosis or defects are often seen in clinic, and laryngotracheal reconstruction is stil a difficult problem. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of animal autologous cartilage transplantation in laryngotracheal reconstruction. METHODS:The cricoid cartilage and partial anterior tracheal wal from New Zealand rabbits were resected to prepare laryngotracheal defect models. Then, autologous costal perichondrium was taken for transplantation. After 8-24 weeks, surviving animals were sacrificed to observe the repair effects. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:General observation showed that animals breathed and ate normaly, the implanted cartilage bonded tightly with the surrounding tissue, the wound healed wel without granulation tissue and scar formation, and there was a smooth inner surface covered by mucosa in the lumen. Under the light microscope, there was some mucosa generating at the wound site, and some fibroblasts and striated muscle cels existed in the outer layer, with a smal amount of new cartilage formation. There was also a linking between chondrocytes and muscle cels. These findings indicate that autologous cartilage transplantation can be applied for laryngotracheal reconstruction in animals, which has a good effect.

The lack of organs has been an crucial limiting factor for Chinese organ transplantation,thus it is in urgent need to effectively increase the number of donor organs.This article holds that,besides through publicity and education to promote unpaid voluntary organ donation,some incentive mechanisms are also required to serve as useful complements.Therefore,organs' origin can be expanded to a certain extent,and the intense supply and demand in organ transplantation can also be eased.Unifying organ transplantation practice in China,this paper explains the necessity of organ donation incentive mechanisms from both theoretical and practical significances,reveals the main elements of the incentive mechanisms,and explores the realization means.

Objective To study the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1), and its correlation with lymph node metastasis in esophageal squamous carcinoma(ESC). Methods The expressions of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were detected in 78 cases of esophageal squamous carcinomas by using immunohistochemical SP method. Results The expression level of MMP-9 in high differentiated (grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ) and early stage (stageⅠ～Ⅱ) ESC was significantly lower than that in low differentiated(grade Ⅲ～Ⅳ) and late stage (stage Ⅲ～Ⅳ) ESC(P

Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of IL-12 in acute cardiac allograft rejection in rats.Methods Two groups of SD rats received cervical heterotopic heart transplantation from allogeneic Wistar or syngeneic SD rats.The cardiac grafts were harvested at 1,3,5,and 7 days after transplantation and detected for the expression of IL-12 mRNA by reverse transcriptional polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results With the posttransplantation day delayed,the expression of IL-12 mRNA was significantly increased in allogeneic transplant group(P

Objective To discuss the causes and treatment of angulated healing of long bone shaft fracture at lower limbs. Methods 12 cases of patients with the angulated healing of femoral and tibiofibular fractures were treated surgically in our hospital. In the operation, the plane and angle of the osteotomy were designed according to the specific angulation to restore the normal vertical alignment of the knee joint so that traumatic arthropathy of the knee could be treated or prevented. Results All the patients were followed up for 6 months to 12 years (averaging 66 months). Their lameness was greatly improved, the pain at their knee joints was relieved, and the occurrence or development of the arthropathy were obviously delayed. Conclusions When the angulation of healed long bone shaft fracture at lower limbs exceeds the physical weight bearing line, the condition should be treated surgically. The corrected angulation can delay the occurrence and development of arthritis at the knee. Moreover, corrected angulation and restored alignment is a good method to treat arthropathy of the knee joint.

Objective To explore the bronchial obstruction reversibility in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and to conduct a comparison with that in patients with asthma. Methods The pulmonary ventilation function of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and with asthma before and after inhaling salbutamol inhaler was separately determined with 6200 Autobox DL, and all corresponding parameters of in two groups were compared. Results No difference of the corresponding parameters of baseline ventilation function in two groups was found. The pulmonary function of patients in two groups was obviously improved after inhalation of drug( P

Objective To investigate the curative effect of cephalosporins in the treatment of neonatal infectious pneumonia and the effect on intestinal microflora.MethodsA total of 124 cases of neonatal pneumonia in our hospital were divided into the cephalosporin group (40cases), the piperacillin group (38 cases) and the combined treatment group (46 cases), and 40 healthy neonates were selected as healthy group.The clinical efficacy was compared.The intestinal bacterial genus of the four groups was examined on the 5th day after treatment, including Enterobacter, Bacteroides, Enterococcus, Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus.ResultsThe cure rates of the cephalosporin group, the piperacillin group and the combined group were 82.5%, 81.57% and 89.13%, respectively.The healing time of the above three groups was (5.3±0.2) d, (5.5±0.3) d and (5.2±0.3) d, respectively.Enterobacteriaceae, Bacteroides, Enterococcus and Lactobacillus were significantly more in the above three groups than the healthy group, and Bifidobacterium was fewer than healthy group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference between the cephalosporin group and piperacillin group.ConclusionThe curative effect of cephalosporins is similar to other antibiotics in the treatment of neonatal infectious pneumonia.The former can effectively relieve alteration of intestinal flora, combined with other drugs.Irrational use of antibiotics woll increase alteration of intestinal flora.

rAdinbitor was cloned from Gloydius blomhoffi brevicaudus in the laboratory. Previous researches had proved that rAdinbitor could inhibit proliferation of C6 glioma cells as well as promote their apoptosis. The molecular mechanism of rAdinbitor’s effects on C6 cells need to be further studied. rAdinbitor was expressed in E. coli BL21/pET23b-adinbitor and purified with Ni Sepharose 6 Fast Flow. The purified protein was confirmed by Western blotting. C6 cells were induced with fibronectin (FN). The effects of rAdinbitor with different concentrations on the expression of FAK, MEK1/2 and Caspase-3 as well as on activity of FAK and ERK1/2 in FN-induced C6 cells were studied by immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation. Results showed that rAdinbitor with different concentrations could obviously reduce the expression of FAK and MEK1/2, increase the expression of Caspase-3, as well as decrease ERK1/2 phosphorylation; besides 10 mg/L rAdinbitor, other concentrations’ rAdinbitor could inhibit FAK phosphorylation obviously. All those effects were dose-dependent. Results indicate that the effects of rAdinbitor on decreasing expression and activity of FAK and inhibiting Ras-MAPK signaling pathway play an important role in suppressing the proliferation of C6. Furthermore, the increase in Caspase-3 expression implies that the increase in apoptosis of C6 cells might be due to the suppression of rAdinbitor on the activity of ILK and PI-3K/Akt pathway.
