Objective To investigate the applicability of clinical grade and a non-contact measurement method in evaluation of underneath eye wrinkles and to compare two methods.Methods A lot of 46 healthy Chinese women were recruited for this study.Underneath eye wrinkles severity was evaluated using clinical grade and a non-contact measurement method.The correlations were calculated for clinical grade and non-contact measurement parameters and age.The non-contact measurement parameters were classified by factor analysis.The correlations between age,clinical grade and factors were analyzed.Results The correlation coefficient between clinical grade in comparison to subject's age was 0.818.The parameters getting from non contact measurement were obviously correlated with age and clinical grade except SEr and SEsc;the correlation coefficients between parameters and age were-0.601 to 0.605;the correlation cofficients between parameters and clinical grade were-0.630 to 0.570.The non-contact measurement parameters could be classified into two factors;one represented wrinkle depth and roughness;the other represented wrinkle width and counts.These two factors were also obviously correlated with age and clinical grade.Conclusions Clinical grade and non contact measurement methods are both applicable in evaluation of underneath eye wrinkles.The parameters getting from two methods are obviously correlated with each other.

Objective To investigate the intestinal pathophysiological mechanism of bacterial translocation and endotoxemia in rabbits with acute spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods Paraplegia was induced by injuring the spinal cord of 30 rabbits by the method of Fehlings. Twelve rabbits were used for recording the changes of gastrointestinal (GI) electrophysiology and colon pressure. The left 18 rabbits were experimental group and were killed in 24, 48 and 72 h after injury. The other 6 rabbits served as normal group. Under aseptic condition, samples of blood and mesenteric lymph node were collected for bacterial cultures and endotoxin detection. The small intestines were observed by light and electron microscopy. The colons were inspected by light microscopy. Results After SCI, the electrophysiology of the GI tract was changed especially at the middle and distal colon. The peristalsis of the middle and distal colon was reduced and sometimes even disappeared. In the early stage, the main pathology was hyperemia of blood vessel and infiltration of inflammatory cells. The interepithelial tight junctions became wider and the columnar epithelium was disintegrated. All of the pathological changes may lead to the destruction of the intestinal barrier. The endotoxin level were increased since 24 h after SCI and had statistically significant difference compared with that at 72 h (P0.05). Conclusion After SCI, the middle and distal colon dysfunction induces constipation, bacterial overgrowth, and blood flow congestion. These factors may accelerate the destruction of the intestinal barrier and lead to bacterial translocation and endotoxemia.

Objective To study the relationship between Y chromosome abnormalities and AZF microdeletions in males with reproductive failure.Methods A case-control study was conducted in 2694 reproductive failure men with age ranges from 23 to 49 years old from the Institute of Reproductive Medicine of Jilin Province.Patients were divided into three groups:spermatogenic failure group (n =1332),disadvantage pregnancy outcomes group (n =994) and adverse birth outcomes group.All patients underwent chromosomal karyotype analysis (G-banding).AZF microdeletions were further investigated in patients with Y chromosomal abnormalities by PCR.The Chi-square test was used to compare the frequency of Y chromosome abnormalities in three groups.Results Of the 51 cases of Y chromosome abnormalities (1.89％,51/2694),32 were (2.40％,32/1332) in the spermatogenic failure group,15 were (1.51％,15/994) in disadvantage pregnancy outcomes group and 4 were (1.09％,4/368) in adverse birth outcomes group.There was no significant difference in Y chromosome abnormalities among different groups (x2 =3.895,P ＞0.05).AZF microdeletions were detected in 10 cases (19.61％,10/51) of Y chromosome abnormalities patients with spermatogenic failure.Conclusions The incidence of Y chromosomal abnormalities in three reproductive failure groups is similar.Chromosome karyotype analysis and AZF microdeletions examination could identify the genetics etiology in males with reproductive failure.

Objective To describe different types of chromosomal abnormalities on male infertility.Methods From May 2006 to May 2012,2034 infertile males with genetic counseling underwent chromosome karyotype analysis,semen routine examination and reproductive hormones levels detection.The data from them were analyzed.Results 267 cases of chromosomal abnormalities were detected in 2034 cases (13.13％).258 cases underwent semen routine examination in 267 cases with chromosomal abnormalities,of which 190 cases of azoospermia,58 cases of oligozoospermia,10 cases of semen normal.In 267 cases of chromosomal abnormalities,including 169 cases (63.30％) of number abnormalities,mainly with azoospermia,157 cases of Klinefelter syndrome (KS) (58.80％),7 cases of 47,XYY (2.62％),4 cases of Turner syndrome (1.50％),1 case of marker chromosome (0.37％) ; 49 cases (18.35％) of structural abnormalities mainly with oligozoospermia,including 32 cases of chromosomal translocations (11.99％),17 cases of inversion (6.37％) ; 4 cases of sex reversal (1.50％) with azoospermia; 45 cases of chromosome polymorphism (16.85％) mainly with oligozoospermia.Non-mosaicism KS patients' age,testicular volume,semen volume,and serum reproductive hormones levels were compared between different groups of semen results,and there were no significant difference except age.Conclusions Chromosome abnormalities were the most important genetic causes of abnormal semen quality and male infertility.It is necessary to be performed chromosome karyotype analysis for infertile males.

Objective To study the relationship between small Y and azoospermia factor (AZF)microdeletions and the effect on male infertility.Methods Data of 379 infertile males of chromosomal karyotype analysis from May 2010 to October 2011 were investigated.Patients with small Y chromosome were also performed C banding and AZF microdeletions,and their fathers and brothers were offered the same examinations.Results Eight patients were small Y chromosome,and their fathers or brothers' chromosome karyotypes were consistent with the probands.Among the 8 cases,there were 3 patients with AZF microdeletions,while their fathers and brothers didn't have microdeletions.Another 5 cases of small Y and their fathers did not exist AZF microdeletions.Conclusions The small Y karyotype is not the key factors that cause male infertility.The reason for infertile patients with small Y and AZF microdeletions was maybe the microdeletions.However,patients with small Y but without AZF microdeletions are not important to male infertility.

The research on clinical efficacy evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a hot and difficult issue in the field of TCM. However, the overall level of current related research also needs to be improved. There are still a lot of academic controversies in the field of TCM clinical efficacy evaluation. The author believed that before conducting research, it is necessary to sort out core issues of TCM clinical efficacy evaluation, which in-clude the concept of TCM clinical efficacy and its evaluation. In recent years, Chinese scholars have conducted a series of studies on these issues and have some achievements. To think and answer these questions will play an important role for the ultimate resolution of problem of TCM clinical efficacy evaluation.

OBJECTIVE: A method based on dubious condition of information entropy was introduced and applied to discuss a complexity problem in the analysis of correlation between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome and season. METHODS: Eight hundred and seventy one cases of chronic virus hepatitis B (hepatitis B) with TCM clinical data were analyzed by information entropy method. RESULTS: It was found that hepatitis B with Yin deficiency of liver and kidney happened more often in summer than in other seasons. CONCLUSION: It is inferred that the difference of seasons may influence the variation of TCM syndromes.
