Results:The viscoelastic parameteres of normal group:E164?9kPa,E2565?148kPa,E∞57?7kPa,?1.7?0.9?105kPa.s;old infarcted group: E1130?30kPa,E21076?466kPa,113?27kPa,?2.8?1.0?105kPa.s.The difference of parameteres in above two groups is significant in statistics(P

A biological study was made to estimate the influence of excess dietary zinc, in vivo, on iron and copper status and their antagonism. Chicks were randomly divided into four groups (n= 22 each) according to body weight and were fed on experimental diet with different amounts of zinc, iron and copper for 28 days. The results were as follows; 1. Excess dietary zinc (400ppm) caused retardation of growth rate in experimental chicks, hypochromic anemia, elevation of blood and tissues (liver, kidney) zinc levels and lowering iron, copper and ceruloplasmin content,and eryth-rocyte Cu-Zn-superoxide dismutase activity; 2. Copper alone supplemented up to 40ppm to the excess zinc diet was able to improve the growth rate, body copper status and Cu-Za-superoxide dismutase activity, but no effect on anemia and body iron status; 3. Iron and copper were supplemented up to 400ppm and 40ppm respectively to excess zinc diet at same time, all the parameters were similar to the chicks fed basal diet. These data suggested that supplement of iron and copper at proper proportion to excess zinc diet can prevent the adverse effects of excess zinc on chicks.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of cetuximab combined FOLFOX chemotherapy on colon and colorectal cancer.Methods Forty patients with colon and colorectal cancer were randomly divided into observation group and control group,and 20 cases for each group.Patients in control group were treated with oxaliplatin + leucovorin + 5-fluorouracil,and in the observation group were given cetuximab (the first does was 400 mg/m2 at the first week,then the second week and follow weeks was 250 mg/m2 1 time/week for 6 week) plus the treatment as control group.The clinical efficacy,adverse effect and 1-year survival in the two groups were recorded.Results The total effective rate and clinical benefit rate in observation group were 60％ (12/20)and 85％ (17/20) respectively,which significantly higher than the control group (30％ (6/20) and 65 ％ (13/ 20),x2 =18.18,10.67,P ＜ 0.05).Skin rash rate in observation group was 55％ (11/20),which was significantly higher than that of control group (15％ (3/20),x2 =35.16,P ＜0.05).Half-year survival rate and 1-year survival rate of patients in observation group were 75％ (15/20) and 45％ (9/20) respectively,significantly higher than the control group (50％ (10/20) and 25％ (5/20),x2 =13.33,8.791,P ＜ 0.05)~ Conclusion Treatment scheme of Cetuximab combined FOLFOX chemotherapy is proved to be an effect of treating advanced colon and colorectal and be with the low adverse effect.

Objectives: Inquirying the ability of the earlier diagnosis and studying the surgical management of intra and extra middle skull base tumors. Methods: A retrospective study has been made on 43 cases of malignant skull base tumor extended into cavernouse sinus. CT and MRI evaluation were made for all patients. Different approaches have been utilized to remove tumors. Results: In early period there was no obviously clinical sign. 5 year survival rate was 35.1%. Seven cases of no removing totally tumors in cavernous sinus had been alive for 7 months. Conclusions: The symptoms of skull base carcinoma is less, which often leads to false diagnosis and management. Total resection via different approaches may improve clinical results.

In order to establish more simple and effective rat orthotopic lung transplantation models, 20 rats were divided into donor and recipient groups. Rat lung transplantation models were established by using improved cuff technique. All the 10 operations were accomplished successfully. The mean operative time of recipients was 45 +/- 4 min. The survival time was over 30 days after lung transplantation. The checks of X-ray were almost normal. There was no significant difference in the blood gas analysis before and after clipping the right hilum (P > .05). This method is more simple, applicable and requires less time.

Objective To investigate the changes in regional cerebral blood flow and its relationship with atrophy of the entorhinal cortex in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods Twenty eight patients including ten cases with aMCI,nine case with mild AD and nine cases with moderate to severe AD were enrolled.The cognitive function was evaluated by revised version of Hasegawa's Dementia Scale (HDS-R) and Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive part (ADAS-cog).Regional cerebral blood flow was evaluated by 99mTc-ECD SPECT and easy Z score imaging system (eZIS).Z scores of voxel-based specific regional analysis system for Alzheimer's disease (VSRAD) were used to assess the degree of atrophy of the entorhinal cortex.Results The Z-score in eZIS was lower in mild to severe AD group than in aMCI group [(1.57±0.46),(1.50±0.54) vs.(1.00±0.50),F=4.58,P=0.022],which showed that the regional cerebral blood flow of cingulate was lower in AD group than in aMCI group.The Z-score in eZIS in bilateral frontal lobes and left hippocampus were higher in moderate to severe AD group than those in aMCI group than in aMCI and mild AD group respectively [(1.43± 0.79) vs.(0.67±0.50),(0.88±0.64); (1.43±0.79) vs.(0.67±0.50),(0.75±0.46); (1.86± 0.50) vs.(1.33±0.50),(1.75±0.46),F=2.90,3.81 and 3.06,respectively,P=0.077,0.039 and 0.068],which showed that the regional cerebral blood flow of bilateral frontal lobes and left hippocampus were lower in moderate to severe AD group than in aMCI group.The score of HDS-R had a negative correlation (r =-0.568,-0.481,P=0.004,0.017) and the score of ADAS-cog had a positive correlation (r=0.462,0.459; P =0.030,0.032) with regional cerebral blood flow in hippocampus.Conclusions The regional cerebral blood flow of cingulate gyrus is decreased in early stage of AD,and involves in frontal lobe and hippocampus along with the deterioration of diseases.The changes of cognitive function are correlated with cerebral blood flow in hippocampus.The Z-score in eZIS can effectively evaluate the changes of regional cerebral blood flow in aMCI and AD patients.

Objective To investigate the influences of Xuebijing injection on organs' ultra-microstructure in septic shock rats. Methods Fifteen male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats of clean grade were selected. According to the method of random digits table, all of them were divided into three groups: sham operation group, model group and Xuebijing treated group, 5 rats being in each group. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was adopted to reproduce abdominal cavity infection leading to sepsis model formation. While the rats in sham operation group just underwent abdominal median incision, abdominal exploration and closure of abdominal wall after flipping retrocecal region. In the Xuebijing treated group, within 1 hour after the operation, Xuebijing injection (4 mL/kg) was transfused through the catheter inserted in the femoral vein, and then normal saline (2 mL·kg-1·h-1) was continuously transfused until the rat being sacrificed. In the sham operation group and model group, equal volume of normal saline was given after operation. The blood pressure of all the rats was monitored continuously by a pressure device connected with a catheter inserted in the right carotid artery. The rats were observed for 12 hours, afterwards they were sacrificed, the samples of heart, lung, kidney and liver were taken, and their ultrastructural changes were observed under an electron microscope. Results The blood pressure of sham operation group was decreased a little with time extension, but within normal limits. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) of model group and Xuebijing treated group developed into a state of sepsis shock at 9 hours and 10 hours after operation respectively, and MAP were lower than 70 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). The MAP levels of model and Xuebijing groups at 11 hours after operation were lower significantly than those of sham operation group (mmHg:58.7±7.0, 58.7±8.3 vs. 91.0±8.2, both P<0.01), and they were persistently decreased at 12 hours after operation;the MAP in Xuebijing group was a little higher than that of model group at the same period (mmHg:55.4±4.0 vs. 48.8±12.9, P>0.05). The results of the observation with electron microscope:the structures of heart, lung, liver and kidney in sham operation group were basically normal;all the organs of model group appeared different degrees of structural damage. Compared with model group, the injury of heart and lung in Xuebijing treated group was milder, especially, the changes of cellular mitochondria were obvious;however, there was no significant difference in injury of kidney and liver between the model and Xuebijing treated groups. Conclusion Xuebijing injection can play a certain role in stabilizing the circulatory system in rats with septic shock, and can possibly ameliorate the heart and lung damage caused by infection and shock.

[Objective]To introduce a new technique of ankle arthrodesis with trephine by lateral approach and evaluate its clinical effects.[Method]Ankle arthrodesis with trephine was performed in 20 patients with serious lesions.Lateral incision was adopted and osteotomy of fibula facilitated the exposure of the fusion site.A trephine of appropriate diameter was used for bi-osteotomy,thus inside the trephine gaining two bone blocks were then rotated 90? and replanted in situ.The pruned fibula was fixed with screws as on-lay!grafting.Proper cast was utilized postoperatively to maintain a functional position.[Result]The average follow-up period was 26 months(ranged from 6 months to 4 years).All the wounds healed well at 2 weeks and the callus appeared 4 weeks postoperatively.Sufficient pain relief was obtained in all patients at 12 weeks and appearance improved greatly.A solid union was achieved in all cases through the radiograph.[Conclusion]The use of trephine in ankle fusion by lateral approach is proved to be a simple technique with high union rate.The main advantages of the technique over other methods of arthrodesis include: excellent exposure by regular incision;less disturbance of the original joint,thereby preserving normal height of the joint and length of the extremity;no need for extra graft through in-situ grafting of the bone blocks and rigid on-lay grafting of lateral malleolus for high primary stability.
