OBJECTIVE: To investigate postoperatively repairing methods and their clinical effects of the olders over 80 years old with head and facial skin malignancies. METHOD: Eighteen cases of skin cancers in the head and face, whose malignancies were resected with Mohs microscopic surgery, according to the local or systemic condition of patients after surgery we choose different repairing methods: free skin flap grafting in 2 cases, local skin flap transferring 12 cases; including rotation skin flap grafting 6 cases, sliding flap 4 cases, nasolabial flap 2 cases; transposition flap 4 cases. RESULT: Operations of the 18 cases went well without special complications. All of the flaps were alive with partial flap necrosis in 1 case, which was cured 1 month later by dressing changes. During the follow-up period ranged from 6 months to 2 years,no tumor recurred,the functional recovery and appearance were satisfactory. CONCLUSION Choosing operating methods in head and facial skin malignancies should consider patients' age, disease state and general condition. Reparing methods of Head and facial skin malignancies in the advanced ages should be selected according to their specific circumstances, especially the simple, convenient and rapid with less trauma way.

Objective To investigate the correlation of serum uric acid (SUA) level with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS). Methods A random, multi-stage cross-sectional study was performed in 2364 resuden, aged from 20 to 74, in Lanzhou, Gansu province.The resudents were divided into groups according to the level of SUA or 4 components of MS. The relationship between SUA and MS was analyzed. Results The overall morbidity of MS was 20.13 % in Lanzhou , and the morbidity of MS was higher in female than that in male (23.22% vs. 17.37%, P < 0.05);The prevalences of MS was higher in the hyperuricemia (HUA) people than that in the healthy people (32.40 % vs. 17.70 %,P < 0.05); With the increase of SUA level, the morbidity rates of MS and its components increased;The risk of MS showed a gradual increase with the SUA level, the risk of MS(odds ratio,95%CI)in sex-specific quartiles of SUA was 2.33(1.45 ~ 3.71),2.33(1.45 ~3.71),2.44(1.53 ~ 3.89)in male;and 1.58(0.97~2.56),2.54(1.60 ~ 4.00),5.29(3.41 ~ 8.22)in female. The more the components of MS , the higher the SUA level was found for both the male and the female subjects , with the higher rate of HUA morbidity(P < 0.05). Conclusion There is a significant association between SUA level and MS, as well as the MS components. Comprehensive prevention and control should be taken for the reduction of the risk factors, and much attention should be paid to monitor the SUA level.

AIM:To investigate the role of B cells in CD45RB antibody-induced transplantation immune toler-ance.METHODS:Single cell suspension was made from the spleen of BALB/c nude mice disposed by CD45RB antibod-y, then mixed cultured with T cells of BALB/c mice and spleen cells of C57BL/6 mice.The Th1, Th2, Treg and Tm cells were monitored by flow cytometry during the culture process .The skin graft model was set up with B 6.μMT-/-mice as re-ceptors and BALB/c mice as donors.CD45RB antibody was intraperitoneally injected into the receptors after transplantation and then CD3+CD45RBhi cells were detected by flow cytometry .In another mixed lymphocyte culture , CD45RB antibody was added, and then B cells were isolated and injected into B6.μMT-/-mice through the tail vein.The heart transplanta-tion model was established with B 6.μMT-/-mice as receptors and BALB/c mice as donors, and then the survival and the migration of B cells to the thymus were observed .RESULTS:When T lymphocytes were co-cultured with B lymphocytes treated with anti-CD45RB monoclonal antibody (mAb) in vivo, the percentages of Th2 and Treg cells were up-regulated and Th1 cells were down-regulated, but Tm cells were not altered as compared with the control .In vivo without B lympho-cytes, anti-CD45RB mAb also down-regulated the expression of CD45RB in T lymphocytes.The reduction was faster and the percentage of CD3 +CD45RBhi T cells was not altered as compared with the control .The B lymphocytes treated with an-ti-CD45RB mAb in vitro prolonged the lifetime of receptor in heart transplantation model but failed to induce complete toler -ance.After recieving B cells treated with anti-CD45RB mAb and allogeneic heart transplantation , B cells migrated to the thymus in B6.μMT-/-mice.CONCLUSION:B lymphocytes play a definite role in the transplantation immune tolerance induced by anti-CD45RB mAb through their affection on T-cell subgroups and also in the central tolerance .However, the induction of immune tolerance can not only rely on B cells .

In order to obtain the serotype distribution of E.coli from duck and to screen the vaccine bacterial strains,the serotype identifications and biological characteristics of E.coli were analyzed in recent years from Shandong,Hebei and other areas of commercial duck field;selections of vaccine strains were detected by the virulence and immunogenicity.Totally 44 isolated bacterial strains of E.coli from duck were identified to a total of six serotypes:O78,O93,O76,O2,O92 and O32.The O78 serotype was the dominant serotype,accounting for 56.8％ (25/44);O93 serotype for 15.9％ (7/44) according to bacterial Oantigen typing.The strain SD (O78 serotype) was confirmed to have strong virulence and good immunogenicity.The O78,O93 and O76 are the dominant serotypes of duck E.coli in the study areas.The SD strain could be used as the candidate for the next development of inactivated vaccine.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical manifestations and diagnostic method of hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid tumors and to evaluate the intra-operative detection of parathyroid hormone in surgical treatment. METHOD: Thirty-seven cases with functional parathyroid tumors from January 2003 to October 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical manifestation, examination and operation method, changes of parathyroid hormone before and after operation were collected. RESULT: All cases were definitely diagnosed before operation. The sensitivity and the positively predictive values of neck ultrasonography were 86.5% and 97.6% respectively, and the same data of Tc-99m-MIBI was 97.2% and 100.0%. The PTH levels declined by 84.9% ten minutes after tumor resecting compared with the level before operation. The serum calcium and PTH returned to normal levels and symptomatic relief occurred after operation. CONCLUSION Recurrent bone disease, long-term urinary calculus and obscure gastrointestinal symptoms were common symptoms of hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid tumors. The neck ultrasonography and Tc-99m-MIBI were suitable for location of parathyroid tumors. Surgical operation was an effective treatment for parathyroid tumor. Intra-operative PTH assay would be able to ensure the radical excision and the operative safety for functional parathyroid tumors.

Since epileptic seizure is unpredictable and paroxysmal, an automatic system for seizure detecting could be of great significance and assistance to patients and medical staff. In this paper, a novel method is proposed for multichannel patient-specific seizure detection applying the earth mover's distance (EMD) in scalp EEG. Firstly, the wavelet decomposition is executed to the original EEGs with five scales, the scale 3, 4 and 5 are selected and transformed into histograms and afterwards the distances between histograms in pairs are computed applying the earth mover's distance as effective features. Then, the EMD features are sent to the classifier based on the Bayesian linear discriminant analysis (BLDA) for classification, and an efficient postprocessing procedure is applied to improve the detection system precision, finally. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the CHB-MIT scalp EEG database with 958 h EEG recordings from 23 epileptic patients is used and a relatively satisfactory detection rate is achieved with the average sensitivity of 95.65% and false detection rate of 0.68/h. The good performance of this algorithm indicates the potential application for seizure monitoring in clinical practice.

In recent years, with the rapid development of life sciences, the use of laboratory fish in toxicology, genetics, developmental biology and medicine has increased dramatically, and they have gradually become important new model organisms. At the same time, the welfare of laboratory fish has also received increasing attention. Although the research level of experimental fish welfare is still in a relatively early stage compared to terrestrial experimental animals, developed regions such as Europe and America have established corresponding legal frameworks to safeguard the welfare of laboratory fish in research. This article elucidates the current developmental status of laboratory fish welfare, discusses the rationale behind the imperative to prioritize and enhance their welfare, deeply investigates factors influencing their welfare from the feeding stage and experimental stage. Moreover, it explores strategies for augmenting welfare standards, with the overarching aim of propelling the continual improvement of laboratory fish welfare in our country.
