Objective To observe the structure feature of cultured mesothelial cells, determine its anticoagulant and fibrinolytic activity, and provide a basis for selection of artificial vascular prostheses coating cells. Methods The greater omenta, aortae and subcutanenous connective tissue of SD rats have been taken for mesothelial cell, endothelial cell and fibroblast culture. The cultured mesothelial cells have been observed by light microscopy and electron microscopy. The 6 keto PGF 1? (the metabolite of prostacyclin)concentrations in medium were measured by rodioimmunoassay, Tissue plasminogen activator(t PA) activity was detected by chromogenic assay. Results The cultured mesothelial cells have many structure feature similar to endothelial cells. The average concentration of the 6 keto PGF 1? in mesothelial cell culture was higher than that in endothelial cells and fibroblasts culture, the t PA activity in mesothelial cells culture was also higher than that in fibroblasts, but there wasn't a significant difference between mesothelial cells and endothelial cells.Conclusion Mesothelial cells have similar structure and functions comparing with endothelial cells. It may be an ideal coating lining for artificial vascular impants. [

Objective:To investigate the morphology character of sagittally unstable intertrochanteric fractures and reduction methods.Methods: A retrospective study was used to analyze the clinical data of sagittally unstable intertrochanteric fractures cases,which were treated with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) fixation from March 2009 to June 2016.In the study,36 cases were followed up completely,in which 17 cases accepted open reduction,and the other 19 cases accepted minimally invasive reduction.The operation time,amount of bleeding,the fluoroscopy times,postoperative radiographic measurements,such as tip-apex distance (TAD) and sliding distance of the spiral screw,and hip Harris scores were analyzed.The morphology character of the fractures was documented and investigated.Results: The average follow-up time was 15 months.The amount of bleeding of the open reduction group was (170.5±19.7) mL,and the amount of bleeding of the minimally invasive group was (54.7±12.5) mL.The amount of bleeding of the minimally invasive group was significantly less than that of the open reduction group (P<0.001).Between the two groups,there were no significant differences in other evaluation parameter,including operation time (P=0.054),the fluoroscopy times (P=0.053),fracture healing time (P=0.305),postoperative radiographic measurements,such as TAD (P=0.317) and sliding distance of the spiral screw (P=0.206),and hip Harris scores (P=0.459).In regard to morphology character of the fractures,the proximal anterior unstable fractures with separation displacement were more common than the proximal posterior unstable fractures with impaction.The characteristic feature of the proximal anterior unstable fractures was the proximal anterior and medial long oblique fracture,and a V shape cortical defect in the distal fracture fragment on the externally rotation X-ray.Conclusion: Sagittally unstable intertrochanteric fractures can be divided into the proximal anterior unstable fractures with separation displacement,and the proximal posterior unstable fractures with impaction.The two types have their own morphology character individually.The reduction should be performed by minimally invasive techniques.

Objective To study the clinical effects on patients with brain metastases from lung cancer combined with Elemene Injection and radiotherapy. Method 86 patients with brain metastases from lung cancer were randomly divided into control group and treatment group, 43 cases in each group. Control group was given conventional radiotherapy treatment, while treatment group combined Elemene Injection with radiotherapy. Results Compared with control group, treatment group’s disease control effect was obviously better. Survival rates after treatment for six months, one year, three years were higher than control group, and the number of adverse reactions were lower. Serum MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels were significantly greater. Radiotherapy plan time and total time in hospital for treatment were significantly shorter. Conclusion The combination of Elemene Injection with radiotherapy treatment for patients with brain metastases from lung cancer is very obvious.

Objective To analyze the incidence rate of congenital malformations in Xintai City from January 2010 to December 2013,and to investigate the risk factors for neonatal malformations. Methods A total of 21 463 ca-ses of perinatal infants pregnant for 28 weeks later to postpartum 7 d in Xintai city from January 2010 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The congenital malformations detection data were analyzed. The risk factors were analyzed by univariate and Logistic analysis methods. Results There were 281 cases with congenital malformations were identi-fied out,and the congenital malformation rate was 1. 31%(281 / 21 463 cases). The incidence rates of multi - finger (toe)[0. 24%(52 / 21 463 cases)],cleft lip[0. 23%(49 / 21 463 cases)],and congenital heart disease[0. 22%(47 /21 463 cases)]were the main congenital malformations. Total malformation rates in the year of 2010,2011,2012,and 2013 were similar(1. 26% ,1. 25% ,1. 33% ,1. 26% ,Z = - 1. 826,P = 0. 068). Univariate and Logistic regression analysis results showed that birth weight,parity,births number,gestational age,educational level,residence,income,ill-ness history,exposure to pesticides,hepatitis,influenza,severe vomiting of pregnancy,threatened abortion,threatened premature,contraceptives,smoking history,drinking history,and father's chronic disease were the risk factors for neo-natal congenital malformations( χ2 = 10. 212,4. 299,5. 860,5. 278,10. 422,9. 327,15. 680,127. 395,245. 735, 74. 141,718. 876,96. 414,77. 770,11. 300,9. 126,74. 927,68. 283,5. 450,P = 0. 001,0. 038,0. 015,0. 022, 0. 001,0. 002,0. 000,0. 000,0. 000,0. 000,0. 000,0. 000,0. 001,0. 001,0. 003,0. 000,0. 000,0. 020 ). Conclusions Neonatal congenital malformation is mainly determined by genetic and environmental factors. For childbearing age and pregnant women,targeted health education should be strengthened to reduce the incidence rate of congenital malformations.

BACKGROUND:There are two ways to treat the enamel before bracket bonding: etching and sandblasting, but the few studies focus on the direct use of sandblasting technology on untreated enamel surface.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the damage of etchingversus sandblasting to the enamel surface, and to compare the bonding strength of metal brackets adhesive to isolated teeth with these two kinds of surface treatments.
METHODS:(1) Nine premolar teeth removed for orthodontic treatment were randomized into three groups: sandblasting, acid etching and polishing treatment groups. Surface roughening effects of these three kinds of treatments were observed under scanning electron microscope. (1) Another 40 premolar teeth removed for orthodontic treatment were randomized into two groups: sandblasting and acid etching groups. At 24 hours after bracket bonding, the shear strength was detected using mechanical testing machine, and the adhesive residue index of tooth surface was statisticaly calculated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Under the scanning electron microscope, polishing treatment had no damage to the enamel surface; but in the other two groups, the enamel surface was damaged to varying degrees, especialy in the sandblasting group. (2) The bonding strength in the sandblasting group was significantly higher than that in the acid etching group (P < 0.05), but there was no difference in the adhesive residue index of tooth surface between the two groups (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that compared with the acid etching technology, the sandblasting technology can increase the bonding strength between the enamel and metal bracket, but it also results in more damage.

Objective To investigate the genetic association between mutation in cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) gene and Erxian suop response. Methods Forty-eight patients with male climacteric syndrome of both Yin and Yang deficiency received a treatment of erxian suop with three months. The severity of symptoms and responses to Erxian suop were quantizated by the method of Department of Psychology in Istanbul Bosphorus University and Clinical Research Guidance Principle on New Drug of Traditional Chinese Medicine published by China. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at position 2964 (G-A) of CYP1A2 gene were identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in order to analyse the relationship between Erxian response and CYP1A2 single nucleotide polymorphism. Results Statistical analysis showed there was no significant difference among genetype and genetype distribution of CYP1A2 G2964A between the patients and control group. The genotype of the 16 patients among 32 effective patients was G/G (56.25%). The genotype of the 11 patients among 16 ineffective patients was G/A (68.75%). There was no significant difference in symptoms, physical sign between the two groups at the pre-treat and post-treat. Also the two groups had no significant difference among the score of major symptoms and hyposymptoms. Conclusion The patients with genotype of G/G have higher efficiency, while with genotype of G/A have lower efficiency among patients with CYP1A2 G2964A gene when treated with erxian soup.

Objective:To analyze the metastasis rule of abdominal lymph node from thoracic esophagus carcinoma. Methods:The abdominal lymph node data on 164 patients who had undergone resection of thoracic esophageal carcinoma were analyzed retro-spectively. Grouping was based on the upper, middle, and lower thoracic esophagus. Differences in tumor infiltration depth, differentiat-ed degree, pathological type, pathological stage, and metastasis rate of the abdominal lymph node among the three groups were com-pared. The metastasis rates of the abdominal lymph nodes among the different tumor infiltration depths, differentiated degrees, and path-ological types were also compared. Results:The base condition of tumor infiltration depth, differentiated degree, pathological type, and pathological stage has no statistical significance among the upper, middle, and lower thoracic esophagus. The metastasis rate of the ab-dominal lymph node also has no statistical significance among the three groups (upper, 6.9%;middle, 27.4%;and lower, 39.6%). More-over, the metastasis rate of the abdominal lymph node has no statistical significance among the different tumor infiltration depths, differ-entiated degrees, and pathological types. Conclusion:A special bound lymph node metastasis was present in the esophageal carcinoma. If the tumor in the upper thoracic esophagus infiltrated the submucosa, then it could bound metastasize down to the abdominal lymph node by the lymphatic capillary net. The majority of the esophageal carcinoma was more than T1b period when diagnosed. The tumor has infiltrated the submucosa. Thus, early stage, well-differentiated, and upper thoracic esophageal carcinoma does not indicate mini-mal metastasis of the abdominal lymph node. Routine abdominal lymph node dissection through radical surgery for esophageal carcino-ma was necessary.

Objective To study the expression of acid secreted proteins that are rich in cysteine protein (SPARC protein)in gastric adenocarcinoma tissue and its relationship with the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.Methods In order to detect SPARC protein expression levels in gastric adenocarcinoma ,104 primary gastric adenocarcinoma samples as well as 30 normal gastric tissues adjacent to carcinoma were studied by immu-nohistochemistry .Results The positive rate of SPARC protein in 30 cases of gastric mucosa adjacent to carcino-ma is 20%,and with weak expression or no expression;The positive rate in 104 cases of gastric cancer tissues was 76.1%,the difference was significant(P<0.01).The high expression rate of SPARC and lymph node metastasis in gastric adenocarcinoma were positively correlated (P<0.01).The SPARC expression rate of well and moderate differentiation of gastric adenocarcinoma were significantly lower than that of the low differentiation ( P<0 .05 ) . The average survival time of gastric cancer patients with high SPARC expression was 27.4 months.However,the average survival time of the patients with low SPARC expression was 40.9 months.The difference was significant (P<0.05).Conclusion SPARC protein is mainly high expressed in gastric cancer stromal tissue cells and fi-broblasts .The expression level of SPARC protein is significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and tumor differentiation degree .The high expression of SPARC patients survival time is short and the prognosis is poor . However ,SPARC protein is not an independent prognostic factor .
