An inflatable liquid epidural balloon was used to simulate an intracranial space-occupying lesion.Two groups of dogs with 8 in each were employed.Under different conditions and time intervals,intracranial pressure(ICP)was continuously recorded,and pressure-volume index(PVI),volume-pressure response(VPR),and cerebrospinal fluid pulse pressure(CSFPP)were measured silmutaneously.It was found that PVI was in significant negative linear correlation with ICP,while VPR and CSFPP in significant positive linear correlation with IVP(P

Objective To investigation the relationship between health management and prognosis of chronic prostatitis. Methods Three hundied and forty-six cases of chronic prostatitis were divided into two groups. The control group treatment was local washing and medicine for three months. The experiment group treatment was local washing, medicine, and health management for three months. NIH-CPSI was used for the results. Results There was no significant different between the experimental group(165 cases)and the control group(154 cases)before treatment in NIH-CPSI. The effective rate of the the experimental group was 88.5%, and that of the control group was 64.9% after treatment. It is effective for cure and the prognosis of the experiment was better than the control (P<0.05). Conclusion It is suggested that it is more effective for the prognosis of chronic prostatitis after the intervention of health management.

Objective To introduce the wavelet zero -cross stimulation algorithm and based on which to design and implement the cochlear implants. Methods Through DSP and ICETEK-VC5416, the WZS speech coding strategy was simulated, and also the presented WZS strategy was compared to CIS strategy by hardware implementation and computer simulation. Results The processed audio signals, output from eight channels, were synthesized and played through loudhailer and could be heard with high fidelity. Conclusion The wavelet zero-cross stimulation(WZS) strategy, which generates stimulating pulsatile series at zero-cross points in the domain of wavelet transform, can keep the temporal correlation and coherence of speech remained in stimulating pulsatile series and reflects the characteristic of temporal coding for cochlea.

Objective:To study the effects of LeFort I osteotomy in the treatment of old maxillary fracture.Methods:30 patients with old maxillary fracture were treated with LeFort I osteotomy,the rehabilitation of occluding relation and masticatory function were observed after operation.Results:28 patients had well-pleasing occluding relation and masticatory function; 2 patients dissatisfied with their masticatory function, because of unbalance of nerve-muscle after their occlusal plane were rebuilt.Conclusion:LeFort I osteotomy can be a method in the treatment of old maxillary fracture.

To evaluate the influence of different brands of syringes on performance parameters and application quality of syringe pump, we carried out matching experiment of infusion/syringe pump analyzer Rigel Multi-Flo, made by ALK Co. in Sweden, for 3 different types of syringes to measure the flow rate, occlusion alarm pressure, occlusion time and bolus volume of 26 syringe pumps. Data of quality control were analyzed with statistical method. The results demonstrated that there were significant differences in the flow rate, occlusion alarm pressure, occlusion time and bolus volume (P<0. 01) between those of common syringes and original syringes. This study points out that the health care providers should select compatible syringes for syringe pumps, which provides evidence and guidance to assure the reasonable and safe application of syringe pumps in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the abilities and thresholds of stroke volume variation (SVV) and pleth variability index (PVI) in predicting fluid responsiveness during increased intra-abdominal pressure.Methods 28 patients undergoing laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy were selected.PV1 was continuously displayed by the Masimo.Radical 7.All patients were also monitored with Vigileo/FloTrac system.Haemodynamic data such as MAP,HR,SVI,SVV,PI,PVI and C VP were recorded before and after volume expansion(HES 6％,7ml/kg).Fluid responsiveness was defined as an increase in SVI≥ 15％ (△ SVI ≥ 15).Results The SVV threshold of 9.5％ before volume expansion was able to diserimihate the responders from the non-responders with a sensitivity of 100％,and a specificity of 63.6％.The threshold for PVI was 14.0％,the sensitivity of 100％ and specificity of 81.8％ were obtained.There was no significant difference between the area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves of SVV and PVI(0.981,0.939,respectively),and there was significant correlation between the baseline SVV and the baseline PVI(r =0.740,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion SVV and PVI can predict fluid responsiveness accurately during increased intra-abdominal pressure,the baseline SVV is correlated well with baseline PVI,and the ability of SVV and PVI in predicting fluid responsiveness is similar.

Objective:To observe the effects of bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs)/coral composite strengthened by titanium mesh in the repair of mandibular defects. Methods:The rabbits' BMSCs were cultured and induced in vitro, and then were combined with coral to form the BMSCs/coral composite, which were implanted into the left mandibular defect in the size of 15 mm?8 mm in 16 rabbits. Titanium mesh was used to strengthen and fix the composites. Coral implant was used as the control in the right mandibular defect.Six and twelve weeks after operation, X-ray observation and histological examination were employed to assess the status of bone formation. Results:In the experimental group, new bone formation was found by radiography and the histological examination 6 weeks after operation. 12 weeks after operation woven bone and lamellar bone were observed in the implanted area and the bone defects were repaired, coral was disappeared, titanium was integrated with surrounding bone tissue. In the control group 12 weeks after operation the bone defects were filled by fibrous tissue, coral was disappeared. Conclusion:Titanium /BMSCs/coral composites can repair mandibular defects effectively.

Objective:To investigate the biological characteristics of dental epithelial cells derived from cervical-loop epithelium in rat lower incisor. Methods:The apical end of the lower incisor was dissected from two-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats by visual microscopy, and dental epithelial cells were obtained by culture of the apical end explants of the lower incisor. The biological characteristics of dental epithelial cells were determined by morphology and immunocytochemistry fluorescence. Results:Dental epithelial cells emigrated from the cervical loop of rat lower incisor, and epithelium-like morphologies with round-shape or square-shape was observed. Dental epithelial cells had a striking proliferation potential with a high level of BurdU labeling. As a marker of epithelium stem cells, P63 expression was observed in most early cultured cells. However, as cells were subcultured, dental epithelial cells,with the lower level of BurdU labeling,decreasing expression of P63 and increasing expression of alkaline phosphatase, were inclined to terminal differentiation.Conclusion:Stem cells or dental epithelial progenitor cells might reside in the cervical loop of the apical end of the rat lower incisor. The present study may provide an excellent cell source for study on the differentiation of dental epithelial cells and tooth regeneration.
