ObjectiveTo investigate the value for the clinical application of urokinase combined with Sodium Tanshion ⅡA in the treatment of cerebral thrombosis.Methods160 cases with cerebral thrombosis in our hospital were chosen.They were randomly divided into A group with 80 cases and B group with 80 cases.A group was the observation group (Tanshion ⅡA Urokinase combined treatment group),B group was the control group (urine kinase treatment group).2 weeks treatment was a course.The efficacy of treatment in the two groups at the end was taken for statistical analysis.ResultsThe neurological deficits were significantly improved in A and B group before and after treatment (P < 0.05,there was statistically significant).The neurological deficit scores in A group after treatment was significantly lower than group B ( P < 0.05,there was statistically significant).The total effective rate was 95 % by the treatment of urokinase and Tanshion Ⅱa in A group which was higher than group B ( P < 0.05,there was statistically significant difference).ConclusionThe treatment of urokinase combined with Sodium Tanshion Ⅱa could improve neurological deficits and improve the clinical therapeutic effect.

Liver and gastrointestinal tumors greatly threaten human health and have poor therapeutic outcomes and prognosis.Tumor necrosis factor -alpha -induced protein 8 -like 2 (TIPE2)can negatively regulate innate immunity and adaptive immunity and maintain immune ho-meostasis.Recent studies have found that TIPE2 can affect various signaling pathways and thus exerts an inhibitory effect on the development and progression of tumors.This article briefly introduces the structure and function of TIPE2 and its regulatory effect on tumor -related sig-naling pathways such as Ras,Ral,and Rac and downstream molecules,as well as the role of TIPE2 in liver and gastrointestinal tumors,re-lated signaling pathways,and research advances.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in ovarian cystic or solid lesions with different b values.Methods 95 patients,total 105 lesions,including 61 benign lesions (53 cystic,19 solid) and 33 malignant lesions (10cystic,23 solid) with ovarian cystic or solid lesions underwent traditional MRI and DWI.The scan sequence of DWI was SE-EPI,with the b values of 0,500,1 000 s/mm2.The contrast to noise ratio (CNR) was calculated to evaluate the image quality.The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value and exponent apparent diffusion coefficient (eADC) value of ovarian masses were measured.Results With the increase of b values,the signal and CNR of ovarian masses was decreased,and the intensity of cystic component was sharper than that of solid component.There was no signifi cant difference of the ADC values and eADC values between the benign and malignant ovarian cystic masses (P>0.05).But the results had significant difference between the benign and malignant ovarian solid masses (P<0.05).Conclusion Quantitative analysis of ADC and analysis the characteristic of CNR will help the differential diagnosis of some benign and malignant ovarian diseases.

Electrospinning is a new technique used to fabricate nanofibrous scaffold for guidance of tissue repair and regeneration. Electrospun scaffold simulates the structure and biological function of native extracellular matrix (ECM) and may provide an ideal engineered microenvironment for cell growth. In this paper, the principle of electrospinning technique and important processing parameters were briefly introduced. Investigations and developments in recent years regarding to the applications of tissue repair and regeneration were reviewed, several focusing issues of electrospinning were addressed as well. The significance and problems unresolved were discussed.

Linoleic acid (C18∶2n-6) and ?-linolenic acid (C18∶3n-3) are found widely in fungi, plants and some lower animals. However, they can not be synthesized in mammals due to lack of △12 and ?-3 fatty acid desaturases. To enable endogenous production of essential fatty acids in mammalian cells, here the stable expression of a Caenorhabditis elegans gene FAT-2 encoding △12 fatty acid desaturase in CHO cells was reported. First, the FAT-2 coding sequence was cloned by RT-PCR. To facilitate high level synthesis of heterogeneous protein, the codon usage of the fatty acid desaturase genes was optimized according to the codon preference of mouse by site-directed mutagenesis, 2 synonymous mutations were introduced into FAT-2 gene by overlapping PCR. The codon-modified gene was finally fused to pBudCE4.1 vector (Invitrogen) under the control of CMV promoter. The expression vector pBudCE-FAT2 was linearized with NheⅠ, and then transfected CHO cells, the cells were under Zeocin selection for nine days and then propagated, then the transfected cells were harvested. The genome and total RNA were isolated for PCR and Norhern blot ananlysis. The results revealed that FAT-2 gene has been integrated into the genome of CHO cells and expressed properly. Fatty acids of total cellular lipids were analyzed by gas chromatography. The results indicate that the expression and function of △-12 fatty acid desaturase resulted in accumulation of linoleic acid. The levels of linoleic acid in transgenic cells were 2.4-fold higher than those in wild-type cells. The moderate linoleic acid in CHO cells was derived from cell culture media uptaken by cell membrane. The results demonstrate that a heterogenous desaturase gene can function well in mammalian cells and prove that transgenic approach is an efficient strategy for changing fatty acid composition of mammals.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the surgical approaches for maxillary sinus cyst. METHODS A total of 32 patients with maxillary sinus cyst underwent operation for removal the cysts. Among them, 8 patients with maxillary sinus cyst and sinusitis were operated on through Messerklinger approach, 19 patients with maxillary cyst received modified Caldwell-Luc operation under nasal endoscope and 5 patients received endoscopic removal of maxillary cyst through the maxillary sinus antrostomy at the inferior nasal meatus. RESULTS All the patients were followed up for 6 months to one year. There was no recurrence found in patients received modified Caldwell-Luc operation. There were 2 patients recurred in 8 patients who were operated on through Messerklinger approach and one patient had closure of the maxillary sinus ostium and adhesion of nasal cavity. One patient recurred and 2 lost follow up in 5 patients who received endoscopic removal of maxillary cyst through the maxillary sinus antrostomy at the inferior nasal meatus. CONCLUSION The optimal surgical method for maxillary cyst is modified Caldwell-Luc operation under nasal endoscope. Messerklinger technique may suitable for patients with complicated sinusitis.
