ObjectiveTo explore the prognosis and relationship between soluble differentiation antigen of cluster designation 14 (sCD14) and the injury severity score (ISS) of casualties with multiple injuries.Methods A total of 86 casualties with multiple injuries were enrolled from October 2009 to March 2010,and the severity of trauma of casualties were assessed in ISS score within the first 24 hours after accident,and the patients were divided into survival and non-survival groups as per the outcomes in 28 days after accident. Another 20 healthy subjects served as control group. In multiple injuries group,sCD14 concentrations were detected and APACHE Ⅱ scores were calculated on the 1st,3rd,5th and 7th days after accident.The related coefficient between sCD14 and ISS was calculated and then the values of sCD14 in predicting prognosis were analyzed by ROC curve. ResultsCompared with control group, sCD14 concentrations were obviously higher in casualties of multiple injuries group at all observation intervals ( P ＜0.01). Compared with survival group, casualties of non-survival group had more higher sCD14 concentrations and APACHE Ⅱ scores ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The sCD14 concentration was correlated with ISS and the related coefficient was 0.469 ( P ＜ 0.01 ). ROC curve analysis suggested sCD14 had values in predicting prognosis of casualties with multiple injuries and area under ROC curve was 0.820.Conclusions The concentration of sCD14 is correlated with ISS and can be used for predicting the prognosis of casualties with multiple injuries.

Objective To investigate the effect of common diseases by the Charlson weighted index of comorbidities(WIC) in predicting 1-year survival rate of older patients with rectum cancer.Methods Retrospective analyzed 160 patients with rectum cancer who were admitted in general surgery of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from Jun.2011 to May 2012.The patients were divided into two groups according to 1-year survival status:survival group (n =123) and death group (n =37).The data were recorded including age,gender,cancer diagnosis,underlying diseases,operation mode (laparoscopic or open) The WIC and the Acute physiology and chronic health Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score were calculated.Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent predictors for 1-year survival rate.Receiver operating characteristics(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of WIC in predicting 1-year survival rate.Results Of the 160 patients,123 cases survived,37 cases died at 1 year after treatment.WIC score and APACHE score in death group were (2.2 ± 1.3) and (11.5 ± 5.1),higher than those of survival group (1.3 ± 1.2,9.5 ± 4.3 ;P =0.021,0.014).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that age,mode of operation,WIC score and APACHE score were related to the 1-year survival status of patients with rectal cancer(OR(95％ CI):1.053 (1.018-1.178,1.021 (1.011-1.906),1.786 (1.203-2.235),1.019 (1.004-1.628).ROC curve area of forecasting of death of the WIC score,APACHE Ⅱ score and the combination of the two are 0.731,0.828,0.959.Conclusion The WIC scoring system can be a good evaluation method for 1-year survival rate in old patients with rectum cancer.

OBJECTIVEA study was conducted to evaluate the clinical application of sialendoscopy combined with conven tional laparoscopy in a 30 degree angle in depth salivary calculus of submandibular glands.

METHODSA total of seventeen patients were presented with repeated swelling in the unilateral submandibular area from June 2013 to August 2015. All patients underwent CT examinations of the mandible and salivary gland function imaging preoperatively. Sialoendoscopy and conventional endoscopy were applied to do intraoral lithotomy. Among the study group, thirteen cases were males and four cases were females. A total of twelve were left cases and five were right cases. Results Seventeen patients had deep positive calculus in the submandibular glands under CT. Photo technetium function was basically normal, whereas secretion of ipsilateral decreased significantly in salivary function tests. Double endoscope assisted surgeries were performed successfully through the mouth to remove the stones. The operation time was (42+21) min. There were no obvious complications in perioperative periods.

CONCLUSIONIntraoral lithotomy assisted by sialoendoscopy and conventional laparoscopy for deep stones in the submandibular glands is a new technique. This technique will possibly lead to complete avoidance of gland resection because of early deep sialolithiasis.

Baicalein (BAI) is an effective bactericide. The antibacterial activity and mechanism experiments were carried out by determining conductivity and content of macromolecules of membrane penetrability, the oxidative respiratory metabolism and protein synthesis changes and the inhibition of DNA topoisomerase activities. Electrical conductivity and the number of large molecules of BAI increased 2.48% and 1.8%, respectively, than that of the control. However, the membrane integrity did not destroyed by BAI directly. With BAI treatment, inhibition rates of activities for SDH and MDH were 56.2% and 57.4%, respectively, demonstrating that BAI could inhibit cell respiratory. After treated with BAI for 20 h, the total soluble content of proteins decreased by 42.83%. Moreover, the activities of DNA topoisomerase I and II were inhibited completely by 0.2 mmol x L(-1) BAI. These results indicated that BAI had obvious antibacterial activity on Staphylococcus aureus. The mechanism is that it could affect bacterial membrane penetrability, inhibit protein synthesis and influence SDH, MDH and DNA topoisomerase I and II activities to exert its antibacterial functions.

Objective To study the value of contact heat evoked potentials (CHEPs) for the early diagnosis of diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy. Methods Seventy-five diabetic patients were examined by conventional nerve conduction velocity studies and then divided into 2 groups: diabetics with normal nerve conduction and diabetics with abnormal nerve conduction. Thirty-three normal subjects were used as controls. Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Sco-ring System was used to evaluate the patients. CHEPs were recorded using different stimulation intensities at different temperatures. Results The peak latencies of 45℃ , 50℃, 53℃ in diabetics with normal nerve conduction group were longer than those in normal control group, with a significant difference between the 2 groups(P<0.05). The peak latencies of diabetics were positively related to Toronto scores. Conclusion CHEPs could detect the impair-ment of diabetic peripheral nerve and reveal the impairment earlier than conventional nerve conduction velocity exami-nation, The prolongation of peak latency in diabetics group was significantly and positively related to clinical condi-tion.

BACKGROUND: Previous research has indicated that both insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ (IGF-Ⅰ) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) play an important role in cell proliferation and differentiation. However, the effect on biological characteristics of human dental papilla mesenchymal cells (hDPMCs) still remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To research the effect of IGF-Ⅰ and bFGF on the proliferation and differentiation of hDPMCs.METHODS: hDPMCs were isolated and cultured in DMEM/F12 culture media containing 1% or 10% fetal bovine serum. The fourth-passaged hDPMCs were incubated in culture media containing 0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 μg/L bFGF and 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 μg/L IGF-Ⅰ(0 μg/L as control group), respectively. At 96 hours after culture, proliferative activity was measured with MTT assay. The corresponding growth factor culture media were used in 10 μg/L bFGF group, 100 μg/L IGF-Ⅰgroup, bFGF + IGF-Ⅰ group, and control group, respectively. At days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after culture, the proliferative activity was detected using MTT assay, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was measured using modified enzyme kinetics method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At the 0-100 μg/L mass concentration scope, both bFGF and IGF-Ⅰcould accelerate proliferation of hDPMCs, and the proliferation ability of bFGF was superior to that of IGF-Ⅰ; moreover, the combination of bFGF and IGF-Ⅰcaused a synergetic action to proliferation of hDPMCs. The maximal valid concentration of bFGF was 10 μg/L, and the maximal action concentration of IGF-Ⅰwas 100 μg/L. At 0-7 days, the effect of bFGF on the ALP activity of hDPMCs was not obvious, but the effect of IGF-Ⅰon ALP activity of hDPMCs became greater with the time passing; furthermore, the combination of bFGF and IGF-Ⅰcould generate a synergetic action on increasing the ALP activity.
