Small intestinal submucosa has been applied in a variety of areas of basic and clinical study with its Characteristics of anti-infective and Low immunogenicity and so on.However,it is common to find the shrinkage and other problems in some tissue repair,and affects the functional recovery of repaired tissue to a certain extent.Thus,it is still a question to be resolved that how to avoid the shrinkage and other adverse effects after tissue repair.This paper provides a reliable basis for further correct understanding of the SIS's capacity of tissue repair by reviewing and summarying its characteristics and present situation of tissue repair,especially put forwarding the shrinkage problem.

Objective To investigate the preventive effect of nabumetone on the damaged esophageal mucosa in the model of reflux esophagitis, and the effect of expression of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2), proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA), cyclin D_ 1 (CD_ 1 ) on the progress of reflux esophagitis. Methods A total of 100 SD rats were divided into three groups in random: group Y: operation + saline as positive controls(46); group R: operation + nabumetone(46); and group C: normal control(8). The lesions of esophageal mucosa were observed in the 5th, 17th, 28th , 40th week in groups Y and R and 40th week in group C, respectively. The change of COX-2, PCNA, and CD_ 1 by immunoperoxidase staining in the progress of reflux esophagitis(RE) and the effect of nabumetone were evaluated. Results The lesions of esophageal mucosa at different time and the incidence of Barrett's esophagus(BE) in group R were lower than those in group Y (P

SUMMARY Lymphoma is a systemic disease. It is not uncommon to be found involved in digestive or central nervous system. However, lymphoma involved in these two systems at the same time is rare. The clinical feature of a case of lymphoma with gastrointestinal bleeding and limbs weakness was investigated and the literature was reviewed. The patient came to our hospital with melena and hematemesis. She was diagnosed as gastric ulcer by gastroscopy and biopsy showed lymphoma. Two days after she came to hospital, the patient presented with progressing limbs weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed irregular abnormal signals in T2-T4 vertebra, which was enhanced obviously. A strip abnormal signal could be seen in spinal cord and involved in neighboring centrum and ribbing. The lesion extended to paravertebral tissue. The final diagnosis was lymphoma involved in stomach and spinal cord. Diseases presented with both upper digestive tract bleeding and symptoms of central nervous system were rare, including malignancies, virus infection and some therapy. Lymphoma was one of the causes. On the other hand, spinal cord ischemia might occur after gastrointestinal bleeding. Thus, doctors should examine the patients carefully to diagnose these diseases.

Objective To probe into the status and correlation between elder abuse tendency and psychological resilience of family caregivers of the elderly with chronic diseases. Methods Totally 402 family caregivers of the elderly with chronic diseases were investigated by the Chinese version of Caregiver Abuse Screening and Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale. Then the results underwent statistical analysis. Results Nearly 63.68%(256/402) family caregivers had the risk of elder abuse tendency. The median of family caregivers′resilience score was 53, lower than normal population(Z=-10.106, P=0.000), and was significantly negatively correlated with elder abuse tendency(r=-0.480, P=0.000).And caregivers′ high level of resilience was a protective factors for elder abuse tendency. Conclusions Nurses should motivate the family caregivers of the elderly with chronic diseases to adapt successfully when faced stress which could be associated with resilience. Thus the psychological resilience would play a role of protective effect against elder abuse tendency, with the purpose of reducing the risk for abusing the elderly who suffered from chronic diseases.

Recently,with the development of the medical technique includes surgery,radiotherapy,chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy,multi-subject combined modality therapy for esophageal carei noma has been become a tendency instead of surgery alone.Any single treatment is hard to improve the curative effect of treatment for esophageal carcinoma.Systemic individual comprehensive therapy for the different patients with esophageal carcinoma is likely to reduce recurrence rate,improve survival rates as well as to improve the quality of life.

Objective To investigate the value of DNA image cytometry in thediagnose of benign and malignant pleuroperitoneal fluids by comparing with the liquid-based cytological results. Methods There were 417 cases in-volved in this study. Pap stain for cytology analysis and feulgen stain for DNA image cytometry were used to identify benign and malignant pleuroperitoneal fluids respectively,then compared the results of the two methods. Results Clinically or pathologically,213 were classified as malignant and the other 204 as benign. The sensitivity, specifici-ty,accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictivevalue of DNA image cytometry were 89. 7%,100%, 94. 7%,100%,and 90. 3%,respectively. However,the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of liquid-based cytology were 63. 4%, 81. 9%, 72. 4%, 78. 5%, and 68. 2%, re-spectively. There were significant differences in thesensitivity, specificity,accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictivevalue. Conclusion DNA image cytometry has great application value in the diagnosis of benign and malignant pleuroperitoneal fluids, and can increase the positive rate, reduce misdiagnosed rate with liquid-based cytology.

Neovascularization is the main cause of blindness, such as diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity and age - related macular degeneration. Vascular endothelial growth factor( VEGF) plays an important role in the formation of angiogenesis, and is considered to be the most potent angiogenic growth factor. Placental Growth Factor(PlGF) is one of the VEGF family, which play a crucial role in endothelial cell proliferation and migration, angiogenesis, and immune - mediated inflammation. Meanwhile, PlGF is specifically expressed in pathological angiogenesis, but not in normal blood vessels. In recent years, there has been increasing attention to PlGF, therefore this article reviews the role of PlGF in neovascular ocular diseases.
