A fluorescence quenching method was established for the determination of H2 S in intestinal perfusate by optical fiber sensing technology combined with micro sequential injection lab_on_valve (μSIA_lov). In the experiment, 100 μL of 0. 1 mol/L NaOH was used as the carrier, and 50 μL of 5. 0×10-5 mol/L fluorescein mercury and 50 μL of sample were selected for the determination. The detection flow rate at the flowcell was 25 μL/s. According to H2 S quenching fluorescence at 521 nm, the concentration of H2 S in the sample was determined. The detected concentration range of H2S was 5. 0×10-6-8. 0×10-5 mol/L, and the detection limit was 5. 4×10-7 mol/L. Detection result of H2S in intestinal perfusion was 3. 8×10-5 mol/L with 3. 1% RSD (n=3). This method can be used for the determination of H2S effectively in the samples, which lay the foundation for real_time online measurement of H2 S in biological samples.

Hedgehog(Hh) pathway plays a key role in a variety of processes, such as embryogenesis, maintenance of tissue homeostasis, tissue repair and carcinogenesis. Recent studies indicate that the aberrant activation of Hh pathway has been linked to multiple types of human cancer. Here, we present an overview of the processing and secretion of Hh pathway and the role of Hh pathway in gastric cancer.

Objective:To study age-related changes of stimulated whole saliva flow rate and nitric oxide level in healthy adults.Methods:97 healthy adults were divided into four age groups:20-39 years (youth group), 40-59 years (middle-aged group), 60-79 years (elderly group), and 80 years and over (macrobian group).The volunteers were asked to restrain from breakfast in the morning.After mouth rinse with 2.5 ml/L chlorhexidine,20 ml/L citrate was dropped on the anterior third of the tongue dorsum of the subjects for two minutes at the pace of 1 drop every 20 seconds.Then the subjects rinsed their mouth 3 times with double-distilled water within 1 minute,then saliva was collected for 5 minutes. The volume of saliva was documented. Samples were frozen at -70 ℃ until assayed. The rates were calculated. Nitric oxide concentrations were measured with nitrate reductase and the Griess reagent, and then nitric oxide output (mol/min) was calculated.Results:(1) The flow rate of stimulated whole saliva in youth group was significantly higher than that in middle-aged, aged and macrobian groups(P 0.05 ). (2) There were no significant differences in nitric oxide concentrations between any two of the groups. Output of nitric oxide in youth group was significantly higher than that in middle-aged, aged and macrobian groups(P0.05). Conclusion:Nitric oxide exists in saliva of healthy adults. Stimulated whole saliva flow rate and nitric oxide output decreases with aging.

BACKGROUND: Matrix metal oproteinase inhibitor 1 plays an important role in the inhibition of articular cartilage degeneration and destruction.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of matrix metal oproteinase inhibitor 1 expression level in synovium of knee osteoarthritis rats after treated with penetration needling of long needle.
METHODS: A total of 40 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into normal group, penetration needling group, drug group and model group, with 10 rats in every group. 1.6% papain solution was injected into knee joint cavity of Sprague-Dawley rats. 2 weeks later, knee osteoarthritis models were established. Rats in the normal and model groups did not receive any intervention. In the penetration needling group, rats were treated by penetration needling with 0.3 mm×125.0 mm filiform needle. Rats in the drug group were intraarticularly injected with sodium hyaluronate.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay: at 4 weeks after treatment, matrix metal oproteinase inhibitor 1 expression in synovial membrane was higher in the normal group than in the model group (P < 0.05). Matrix metal oproteinase inhibitor 1 expression in synovial membrane was higher in the penetration needling group and drug group than in the model group (P < 0.05). (2) Results verified that long needle penetration therapy can effectively increase matrix metal oproteinase inhibitor 1 expression in synovial membrane of knee osteoarthritis model rats.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of rosacea in Xinjiang.Methods From Jan 2013 to Jun 2015,clinical data of hospitalized patients who were diagnosed in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Autonomous Region as rosacea were analyzed retrospectively.Results (1) The onset age of Uygur and Han were similar,while the incidence of Han was higher than Uygur in 41 ～ 50 age group.(2) The ratio of outdoors was higher in Uygur patients than Han patients.(3) Reactive erythema was the mainly feature in Han patients with obviously self-conscious symptoms including burning,drying,and tingling.The Uyghur patients were present with persistent erythema,papules and pustules;and had facial swelling and mild symptoms.(4) Positive rates of thyroid related antibodies and prolactin were higher in patients with rosacea.Conclusions The clinical features of rosacea are different between Uygur and Han nationalities in Xinjiang.

Compared to traditional paper & pencil test,computer-based test has obvious advantages in improving reliability and validity of test.With the increasing popularity of computer-basedtest,making ICO examinations(International Basic Science and Clinical Sciences Assessment for Ophthalmologists) computerized can be realized in our country for the reason that we own hardware and software required by computerized exam,including standardized examination room,professional test personnel,examinee with computer skills,etc.Currently,we can rely on available resources to carry out pilots in the areas meeting the condition of computer-based test,take the form of paper and pencil and computer at the same time,and then promote the process of computer-based ICO examinations.

[Objective]To evaluate the clinical application and results of the anterolateral acromial approach with minimal incision in the treatment of proximal humerus fracture.[Method]From December 2006 to December 2008,42 patients with proximal humeral fracture were treated by the anterorlateral acromial approach using locking plate.There were 25 males and 17 females.All the fractures were classified with AO/OTA classification.There were 5 A2-fractures,11A3-fractures,7 B1-fractures,12 B2-fractures,3 C1-fractures,4 C2-fractures.Anterolateral acromial approach with minimal incision was applied and the deltoid muscle was seperated to expose the fracture fragments.Under direct vision the direct and indirect reduction of the fractures were performed.The locking plate was inserted distally beneath the deltoid muscle and between the distal plate and the humeral shaft was adjusted through another small skin incision on the lateral upper arm.Locking screws were inserted to the proximal and distal plate.Operation time,incision length,blood loss,reduction,Neer scores at 1 year were analyzed in different time points.[Result]All the cases were completed with minimal incision.There were significant differences(P

Objective To explore the features of ostiomeatal complex under endoscopic observation,so as to provide reliable landmarks for a safe and perfect endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods Twelve heads from adult cadavers(8 males and 4 females) were split axially on midline with the nasal septum removed,and nasal endoscopic operation was performed for the observation of tristar of groove with professional surgical instruments on anterior ethmoid,frontal sinus and maxillory sinus.Results The tristar of groove was consisted of beak of the ethmoidal bulla and its prolonging process,apex of the uncinate process and anterior peak of the middle turbinate,at the region of frontal recess.The structures called meatal groove,uncinate groove and bullar groove were observed around the ethmoidal bulla and the tristar of groove located at their origination.Under endoscopic view these structures looked like a triangular clefts,so it was named.The cells of the meatal groove located anteromedially to the tristar,the cells of the uncinate groove were anterolateral and just inferoposterior to the meatal groove,those of the bullar groove superoposteriorly located to the cells of the uncinate groove.The ostia of these cells were constant and did not connect each other,their locations at the tristar of grooves were fixed relatively.Conclusion Tristar of grooves is a key area for endoscopic frontal sinusotomy.Due to the great structural variations,the constant landmarks,which can be seen under sinus endoscope,and the regular pattern of the nasal sinuses distribution are important and can guide the endoscopic sinus surgery.
