Clinical Medicine of China 2008;24(5):476-478
Objective To evaluate the non-operation treatment of the severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods 218 cases of SAP were analyzed retrospectively.Early operation was adopted before 1998(n=96)and early non-operation treatment was applied after 1998(n=122).Results 25 of 96 cases in operation group died (26.1%),while 9 of 122 cases in non-operation group died(7.4%).The complications was higher than in non-operation group(P<0.01).Conclusion Early non-operation treatment is necessary for the early stage of SAP.

Objective To study the method of biological dye injection for detecting sentinel lymph node(SLN) in breast cancer, and explore the accuracy of evaluating axillary lymph node status by SLN biopsy(SLNB). Methods Intro-dermal methylthionium injection during operation was applied to identify SLN in 71 breast cancer patients, and the detection results were compared with the metastasis status of dissected axillary lymph nodes. Results SLN was identified in 70 of 71 patients(97%) using methylthionium injection. Total 188 SLNs were detected in all patients, each patient having 1~4 SLNs(average 2 7). The false negative rate of methylthionium injection for detecting SLN was 2%(1/42). The sensitivity, specificity and accurate rate of SLN to predict axillary lymph node metastasis status were 96%, 100% and 97% respectively. Conclusion Intro-dermal methylthionium injection can identify SLN and accurately predict the axillary lymph node status . This method is cheap and can be widely used.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture, warm needling therapy and acupuncture on the third lumbar transverse process syndrome. Methods 90 patients were assigned to receive electroacupuncture therapy (n=30), warm needling therapy (n=30) and acupuncture therapy (n=30) for 20 times. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scoring systems for lower back pain before and after treatment. Results The scores of JOA increased and the scores of VAS decreased significantly in all the groups after treatment (P<0.001). Both the scores were better in the electroacupuncture group (P<0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture, warm needling therapy, and acupuncture are effective on the third lumbar transverse process syndrome, among which the electroacupuncture is most effective.

BACKGROUND: It is very important to explore an optimal loading force that can both allow effective intrusion and cause no damage to the teeth.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the optimal loading conditions, including loading force values and directions, in the intruding mechanics of maxillary anterior teeth.METHODS: A three-dimensional finite element model (3D FEM) of the maxillary anterior teeth was constructed to include the periodontal ligament (PDL), alveolar bone, and appliance (brackets and wire). The initial stress distribution and force of the maxillary anterior teeth were analyzed when the 3D FEM was loaded with different intruding force values and directions. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The optimal value of the intruding force for 6 anterior teeth fell within the range from 0.5 N to 1.0 N. The maximum stress was detected at the distal cervical level of the lateral incisor, and a relatively even distribution of initial stress was observed at 20° palatal deviation to the Y axis. The results suggest that using mini-screw implants at the labial region between the canine and lateral incisor and a combined 0.5-1.0 N intruding force with a distal force could be an optimal intrusion force system by which patients with normal occlusion could obtain a pure intrusion of anterior teeth.

BACKGROUND: Fibrin is a natural biodegradable polymer material with good histocompatibility. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is an important polypeptide growth factor with mitogenic effect. Fibrin gel (FG) combined with bFGF is conducive to cell migration and promotes proliferation and differentiation. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of fibrin gel combined with bFGF on alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) in fetal rat limb cells. METHODS: Four groups were included: FG group: fetal rat limb cells were seeded in FG (three-dimensional, 3D) with normal medium; FG + bFGF group: cells were seeded in FG containing 10 μg/L bFGF for 24-hour 3D culture; bFGF group: cells were seeded in 10 μg/L bFGF medium; normal control group: cells were seeded in normal culture medium. Under aseptic condition, rat fetal limb cells were isolated. Passage 3 cells were used for each group above mentioned. ALP activity, mRNA expression and cell morphology were analyzed at 3, 5, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The cells in the FG had more processes and formed an interconnected network after 7 days of incubation, while the cells in no gels remained cuboidal or "spindle-shaped". At 7, 14, and 21 days, ALP activity was greater in the FG+ bFGF group than in the other groups (P < 0.05). At each time point, mRNA expression of ALP was greater in the FG+ bFGF group than in the control group (P < 0.01). These findings indicate that FG combined with bFGF is conducive to cell morphogenesis and markedly enhances ALP activity.

Brain injury is one of the most serious diseases in neonatal period,which can cause cerebral palsy,motor development delay,cognitive dysfunction and learning difficulties and other sequelae,and severely affects the health development and quality of life of the newborn.Neonatal brain injury (NBI) is a wide range of diseases caused by a variety of causes,its clinical manifestations lack specificity,clinically,it is difficult to judge the severity,duration and the time of prenatal injury,and it has been paid much attention to by scientific researchers and clinicians.At present,imaging method is a major means of NBI diagnosis,but imaging examination is usually a lag and limitations.Levels of humoral biomarkers change early after brain injury,and early brain injury can be predicted by detecting their changes.In recent years,a variety of sensitive brain damage biomarkers have been detected in various body fluids of newborns,mainly including neuron-specific enolase (NSE),ubiquitin carboxyl hydrolase L1 (UCH L1),S100B protein,tau protein,myelin basic protein (MBP),glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and activin A and so on.the application and research progress of these commonly used biomarkers in NBI are reviewed in this paper.

Objective To evaluate therapeutic roles of parenteral and enteral nutrition in patients with dysphagia complicating stroke. Method Seventy-two patients with dysphagia after stroke were randomly divided into group A (parenteral and enteral nutrition in sequence) and group B (parenteral nutrition) who were respectively given nutritional support 48 hours after the illness,measured hospital nutrition parameters,and observed the incidence rate of complications including tympanites,diarrhea and stress-induced ulcer,aspiration pneumonia.Death rate were compared between two groups at the end of the third week after admitted in hospital. Results Nutrition parameters in group A were higher than that in group B.There was significant difference (P0.05). Conclusion Parenteral and enteral nutrition in sequence for patients with dysphagia after stroke are safe and effective.

Objective To analyse clinical efficacy of Frey and Bger procedures for chronic pancreatitis. Methods Clinical data of seventy patients of chronic pancreatitis undergoing Frey (32 cases) and Beger Procedures (38 cases) in our hospital from January 1999 to June 2009 were retrospectively analyzed,the rate of pain relief and endocrine and exocrine function of the pancreas in longterm follow-up were compared with each other. Results Overall perioperative morbidity for Frey group and Beger group was 12. 5% and 7.9% respectively (P =0. 52); Total pain relief rate in long-term follow-up was 96. 8% and 94. 7% respectively (P =0. 57). Postoperative de novo diabetes mellitus was 12. 5% and 21% ( x2 = 0. 90, P = 0. 34), Rate of steatorrhea was 12. 5% and 18.6% respectively ( x2 = 0. 15, P =0. 70). Conclusions Frey and Beger procedures were equally effective in improving symptoms of chronic pancreatitis and there were no significant differences in perioperative morbidity, rate of pain relief and function of endocrine and exocrine of the pancreas.
