Objective To study the changes of gene expression profiling in HL-60 cells treated by Chan'su, and the possible mechanisms of Chan'su-induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells. Methods Apoptosis was determined by morphology and agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA fragmentation. The changes of gene expression profiling were detected with DNA microarray. Results 1%(v/v) Chan'su could obviously induce HL-60 cells apoptosis. In the tested 1152 genes, mRNA expression levels of 9 genes changed prior to apoptosis in Chan'su-treated HL-60 cells. Of the 9 genes, 8 gene mRNA levels were up-regulated and 1 gene mRNA level was down-regulated. Conclusion Apoptosis in HL-60 cells treated by Chan'su was involved in many genes. Bcl-2 down-regulation and IL-8 up-regulation were closely correlated with the Chan'su-induced HL-60 cells apoptosis.

Objective To discuss a simple and effective method of medial epicanthoplasty with the subcilliary incision, which can decrease the visible scar. Methods From January of 2007 to De-cember of 2008, 38 patients with epicanthal fold underwent epicanthoplasty using the new method. During the operation a skin incision was subcilliarily made outward from the original medial epican-thus. After elevating the flap and excising the orbicularis oculi muscle beneath the epieanthal fold, the new medial epicanthus was sutured to the designed point. Then subciliary incision was trimmed and sutured. Results Most of the patients obtained satisfactory results. Only one patient complained a-bout visible scarring and none required revision surgery. Scarring was avoided on the noticeable medial canthal region because the only incisions needed were subciliary incisions. Conclusions This method is simple to design and easy to perform. The operative results are effective without visible scars on the medial canthal region.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the reasons and treatments of recurrent or residual cholesteatoma in middle ears after operations.
METHOD:
The clinical data of 102 cases (105 ears) with recurrent or residual cholesteatoma was retrospectively analyzed.
RESULT:
The main reason of recurrent or residual cholesteatoma is incomplete removal of cholesteatoma in the former operations or obstructive drainage of middle ears after operations. Twenty ears healed through cleaning with otoendoscope. Eighty-five ears underwent the second operations of radical mastoidectomy including 23 tympanoplasty meanwhile. The air-conductive auditory threshold of them all decreased more than 15 dBHL.
CONCLUSION
For the ears with low facial ridges and non-obstructive drainage of mastoid, tympanic antrum and tympanic cavity, its possible to be cured through cleaning with otoendoscope. For those with high facial ridges and obstructive drainage , it's essential to perform the second operations of radical mastoidectomy and some of them are suitable for tympanoplasty meanwhile.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of combination of dexmedetomidine and compound lidocaine cream for the prevention and treatment of the stress responses during recovery from general anesthesia in the patients undergoing transnasal transphenoidal pituitary adenoma resection.Methods:A total of 90 patients, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, undergoing elective pituitary tumor resection by transsphenoidal approach with general anesthesia, were divided into 3 groups ( n=30 each) by the random number table method: combination of dexmedetomidine and compound lidocaine cream group (D-L group), dexmedetomidine group (D group) and compound lidocaine cream group (L group). Compound lidocaine cream 2 g was applied to the anterior 1/3 of the tracheal tube and surface of the cuff in D-L and L groups, and paraffin oil was applied to the surface of the tracheal tube in group D. In D-L and D groups, dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg was intravenously infused for 10 min at 30 min before the end of surgery, while the equal volume of normal saline was given in group L. Heart rate and mean arterial pressure were continuously monitored during peritracheal extubation, and the occurrence of responses to extubation was recorded.The optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) was measured by ultrasound after entering the operating room(t 0), after anesthesia induction(t 1), and at 5 min after extubation (t 2). The bucking and agitation scores were recorded during recovery from anesthesia. Results:Compared with group D and group L, the incidence of bucking and responses to extubation was significantly decreased in group D-L (27%, 37%, 6%; 23%, 27%, 3%, respectively, P<0.05). Compared with group L, the incidence of agitation was significantly decreased in D-L and D groups (37%, 10%, 13%, respectively, P<0.05). No severe bucking and agitation occurred in group D-L.There was no significant difference in ONSD at each time point among three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Combination of dexmedetomidine and compound lidocaine cream performs better than either alone and can prevent and treat stress responses during recovery from general anesthesia in the patients undergoing transnasal transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma resection.

Objective To evaluate the effects of"PICC fixed standard operation flow chart"in PICC fixed quality management. Methods Patients with PICC were admitted to the control group from January to June in 2014, given the routine PICC fixed method. PICC patients in the observation group who were enrolled from July to December 2014 were given new PICC fixed method that obey the"PICC fixed standard operation flow chart", which was established from relevant norms and guidelines and related literature. The incidence rate of medical adhesive related skin injury and unplanned extubation of PICC were compared with those of the two groups. Results The incidence rate of medical adhesive related skin injury was decreased from 35.20%(70034/198962) to 18.03%(37862/209955) (Z=-3.363, P<0.01) and PICC unplanned extubation decreased from 1.31‰(20/15384) to 0.37‰(7/18919) , the difference was statistically significant (χ2=6.940, P<0.05). Conclusions The PICC fixed standard operating flow chart can be used as a guide to implement the PICC fixation. Based on this, the quantitative management index is applied to the PICC fixed quality management, which can standardize the fixation of the PICC , reduce the related complications caused by the fixation of the catheter, prevent the occurrence of unplanned extubation of PICC , provide effective protection to ensure safe PICC long-term use and improve the patient's comfort.

Objective:To compare the postoperative effects of double eyelid surgery with different exophthalmos to find its influence on the surgery and necessary changes in preoperative design and during operation.Methods:A total of 50 female patients with single eyelid seeking beauty from June 2021 to March 2022 were selected from the Department of Plastic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. The ocular protrusion was measured by HETEL ophthalmostatometer before surgery. Both eyes at 12-15 mm were taken as normal group ( n=26), both eyes at 16-18 mm as mild protrusion group ( n=14) and both eyes at 19-22 mm as severe protrusion group ( n=10). All the patients were treated with double-eyelid surgery by orbital septum and unified postoperative nursing. Results:After six months of follow-up, there was no difference in eyelid width with closed eyes (all P>0.05). The width of double eyelid with open eyes in normal group was smaller than that in mild protrusion group ( F=23.23, all P<0.05), and the width of double eyelid with open eyes in mild protrusion group was smaller than that in severe protrusion group ( F=47.70, all P<0.05). There was no difference in the improvement rate of facial aesthetics among the three groups ( P>0.05). The " feeling of meet" and scar formation in the normal group were less than those in the mild protrusion group ( F=16.92, F=33.45, all P<0.05), and the " feeling of meet" and scar formation in the mild protrusion group were less than those in the severe protrusion group ( F=27.93, F=28.53, all P<0.05). The improvement rate of normal group was higher than that of mild and severe protrusion group (χ 2=7.25, 7.89, all P<0.05). There was no difference in the improvement rate between the mild and severe protrusion groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In clinical practice, it is necessary to make corresponding changes in the preoperative design and operation of double eyelid surgery for patients with high eyeball protrusion.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) in treating great saphenous vein(GSV) incompetence.Methods:60 patients (60 limbs) with GSV incompetence were randomly divided into NBCA glue group (30 cases) and radiofrequency ablation(RFA) group in 30 cases. The clinical outcomes, venous clinical severity score(VCSS), and quality of life using the Aberdeen varicose vein questionnaire(AVVQ) were evaluated. The primary endpoint is the occlusion rate of GSV at 3 months after surgery.Results:For the two groups, the occlusion rate of GSV was 100% immediately after surgery and at 3 months follow-up. AVVQ and VCSS were improved in the two groups( P<0.05). In terms of complications, the NBCA group had scleroma in 3 cases, pain and skin redness in 1 case respectively, but no ecchymosis and numbness. In the RFA group, numbness occurred in 1 case, skin redness in 2 cases, scleroma in 3 cases, ecchymosis and pain in 4 cases respectively. The incidence of ecchymosis and total complications in the NBCA group was significantly lower than that in the RFA group( P<0.05). No DVT or other adverse event occurred in both groups. Conclusion:NBCA and RFA have the same short-term closure rate. Furthermore, the NBCA treatment requires less equipment, no use of tumescent anesthetic, and has lower incidence in terms of complications than that of RFA.
