Objective To observe the effect of scalp needling at different time points on focal cerebral microcirculation in rats with focal ischemia and reperfusion ( I-R). Methods One hundred SD rats were randomized into normal group, sham operation group, model group and scalp needling group. The model group and scalp needling group were divided I-R 12, 24, 48 and 72 h subgroups according to the time of ischemia and reperfusion, 10 rats in each subgroup. The normal group had no oper ation, sham operation only had the operation for vessel isolation, and model group and scalp needling group received middle cerebral artery occlusion with thread. Scalp needling group also had electro-acupuncture on scalp points along vertex and temple anterior linea oblique and posterior linea oblique. And then we observed the neurological severity scores (NSS) and detected the cerebral blood flow ( CBF) in the focal ischemic brain with laser Doppler blood stream meter before I-R and 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after I-R. Immunofluorescence method was used for counting the focal ischemic cerebral microvascular endothelial cells, and then the correlation of cerebral microvascular endothelial cells count with the cerebral blood flow volume was evaluated with Pearson correlation analysis. Results NSS in scalp needling group was lower than that in the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Before I-R, the difference of CBF among the three groups was insignificant ( P>0.05). Except for reperfusion for 24 hours, CBF in scalp needling group was higher than that in the model group at different time points ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Microvascular endothelial cells count in scalp needling group was higher than that in the model group after reperfusion for 24, 48 and 72 hours ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). In the model group and scalp needling group, cerebral blood flow volume was positively correlated with microvascular endothelial cells count. Conclusion Scalp needling shows obvious effect on improving the microcirculation, increasing CBF and cerebral microvascular endothelial cells count, and promoting the recovery of ischemic tissues of rats after I-R.

Tooth bleaching has become a routine way of treating tooth staining. It is necessary to teach tooth bleaching in undergraduate education of Stomatology. The possibility of teaching bleaching was explored in our school and the teaching effects were assessed by questionnaires to undergraduate students of Stomatology in 2005 and 2006 degree after class. The outcomes indicated that a teaching mode of “3+3+2” made a positive effect on the teaching of tooth bleaching, combining with multimedia teaching,problem-based learning and bilingual teaching. The present article summed up the experience of teaching tooth whitening in undergraduate education of Stomatology and gave some advice for improving the quality of teaching.

AIM:To find a new way of treating premature beats(PB) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yi-(xinshu) Capsule(Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng,Radix et Rhizoma Salviae miltiorrhizae,Radix Ophiopogonis,Radix Astragali,etc.) METHODS:Randomized,controlled clinical study were conducted in 60 patients with atrial premature beats(APB),and 60 patients with premature ventricular beats(PVB).APB patients were randomly divided into two groups:Yixinshu Capsule plus Isoptin(study group,n=30) and Isoptin group(control group,n=30).PVB patients:Yixinshu Capsule plus Mexiletine(study group,n=30) and Mexiletine group(control group,n=30).Those patients were treated for four weeks.We used 24 h Holter to monitor the times of PB and myocardial ischemia in before and after treatment.RESULTS:In the study group and control group,the times of APB and PVB were decreased obviously after 4 weeks treatment(P

Objective To retrospectively review the mortality and morbidity after orthopedic surgery for aged patients with reference to orthopedic version physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (O-POSSUM) and Portsmouth POSSUM (P-POSSUM) and validate the score' s accuracy in operative risk prediction.Methods O-POSSUM and P-POSSUM for mortality and morbidity were applied to 839 aged patients who had undergone orthopedic surgery between January 2008 and December 2011.Observed mortality and morbidity were compared with the expected values.Results O-POSSUM predicted 230 morbidities,but the observed value was 182 (x2 =2.718,P ＞ 0.05).O-POSSUM predicted 46 deaths,higher than the observed 3 deaths (x2 =38.870,P＜0.01).P-POSSUM predicted 16 deaths,higher than the observed 3 deaths (x2 =8.997,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions O-POSSUM accurately predicts postoperative morbidity in aged orthopedic patients.However,O-POSSUM and P-POSSUM overpredicts the mortality and should be used with caution.

Paired basic amino acid cleaving enzyme 4 (PACE4),a subtilisin-like endoprotease,which is thought to play a significant role in tumor occurrence and development.Its over or low expression may lead to enhanced proliferation and invasion of tumor cells,and even increase the malignant degree.The specific regulation according to the roles of PACF4 expression in different tumors may be helpful for tumor treatment and prognosis improvement.

Objective To describe an appreciate operation method in the treatment of deformi-ties secondary to gluteal muscles and fascia contracture. Methods 25 cases of serious secondary de-formity of gluteal muscles and fascia contracture were treated by Z-plasty. The contracted fascia and scar were loosed and the skin around the wound was rearranged. Results The following-up time was from 6 months to 3 years with an average time of 1.6 years. All cases rehabilitated to normal or nearly normal in gait. Aesthetic results were also satisfactory. No recurrence was observed. Conclusion Re-arranging the contracted fascia with Z-plasty can extend the fascia and improve the movement of the hip joint. Besides, Z-plasty treatment of skin around the scar is benefit for the aesthetic result of the deformities, Z-plasty of contracted fascia and skin is an appreciate operation method in the treatment of deformities secondary to gluteal muscles and fascia contracture.

Objective To identify the role of survivin and VEGF in angiogenesis of colorectal tumor by investigating tissue expression of survivin, VEGF and CD34 in human colorectal tumors. Methods Immunohistochemical staining for the paraffin sections by using the polyclonal antibodies of survivin, monoclonal antibodies of VEGF and CD34, was performed by the standard avidin-biotin-peroxidase technique. The percentage of positive cell and quantitative analysis were made by image analysis system, which also helped to calculate the amount of MVD. Results The immunoreactivity of survivin significantly increased in the transition from adenoma with low dysplasia to adenoma with high dysplasia (P <0.01). Similar changes in protein expression were observed for VEGF and MVD. The expression of survivin was closely related with that of VEGF. Both were positively correlated with MVD. Conclusion Survivin promotes angiogenesis of colorectal tumor together with VEGF. VEGF may be the potential causes of reexpression of survivin during colorectal tumorigenesis.
