Acute and chronic infection of sinus could expand to orbital cavity. As the technique and equipment of endoscopic surgery are getting popular and renewal, endoscopic sinus surgery is being used widely and profoundly, which improves the surgical effect of nose and sinus diseases greatly. However, the complications are not decreased rather than traditional surgery. The rate of orbital complication is the highest of all endoscopic sinus surgery. This paper present a case report about orbital complication due to sinusitis or endoscopic sinus surgery and related literature were reviewed.

Objective To investigate the correlation of biofilm forming ability with biofilm associated gene of the clinically isolated Staphylococcus aureus for providing basis for the further studies of the mechanisms of biofilm formation.Methods Safranine staining was conducted for the detection of the forming ability of biofilm in 96-well plates.icaAD,icaBC,sar,agr and sigB was amplified by PCR.Results Formation of biofilm could be found macroscopically in 17 out of 27 strains,especially to X387 and X409.icaAD and icaBC were amplified in 22 isolates and sar,agr and sigB in all 27 S.aureus strains.Conclusion ica operon is the key gene for biofilm formation but cooperative action of other genes is needed during the process of biofilm formation.

Objective To study the macrolide-resistance,ability of biofilm formation and icaA-genetypes of 68 stains of clinically isolated Staphylococcus epidermidis(S.epidermidis) so as to explore the efficacy of macrolide to prevent biofilm-associated infections caused by S.epidermidis.Methods Minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) were detected by agar-plate dilution method,and microtiter-plate assay was used to investigate the ability of biofilm formation,and icaA genetype was identified by PCR.Results High macrolide-resistant rate(88.2%) was showed for clinical isolated S.epidermidis,and biofilms for macrolide-resistant strains were significantly stronger than that of macrolide-sensitive strains,but there was no dependability found between these two for icaA positive rate.Conclusion Frequently-used macrolide such as erythromycin,azithromycin,and clarithromycin may incompetence to prevent biofilm-associated infections caused by S.epidermidis.

AIM:To gain the molecular mechanism of active ingredients of EGb 761(ginkgo flavones and ginkgo lides) for the inhibition against A?_(1-42) aggregation and fibrogenesis.METHODS:Circular dichroism spectra(CD) and FI-IR were used to curve-fit and analyze the change in A?_(1-42) second structure under A? aged condition and intervention of ginkgo flavones and ginkgo lides.RESULTS:Analysis that was made of 1700-1600 m(-1) amide-Ⅰ-band and curve fitting indicated that after 30 min to 72-incubation,increase of ?-sheet in A?_(1-42) by(18.5%),but the reduction of ?-sheet by(50.95%) and(36.09%) in 72 h incubation with ginko flavones and ginkgo lides,respectively.And increase of ?-turn by(56.56%) and(46.56%) in sane condition.CONCLUSION:Obviously,?-sheet turned into ?-turn.-CH_2 and-CH groups of ketones and alkanes engaged in A?_(1-42) molecular change.

Immunohisto-chemical S-P method was used to examine the expression of E-cadherin,Vimentin and TGF-β1 in 54 cases oral carcinoma and 10 cases of normal oral mucosa.The positive rates of the expression of E-cadherin,Vimentin and TGF-β1 were 55.6%, 33.33% and 59.3%,respectively in oral carcinoma group(vs normal oral mucosa,P <0.05).The expression of TGF-β1 was correlated with lymph node metastasis,and showed significant positive correlation with Vimentin.Epithelial-mesenchymal transition may promote inva-sion and metastasis of oral carcinoma,and TGF-β1 promotes EMT.

Objective To observe the changes of cognition and auditory event-related potential P300 on vascular cognitive impairment-no dementia (VCIND) patients before and after cognitive rehabilitation training,then further to explore the application value of P300 in early diagnosis of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). MethodsA total of 57 patients with VCIND were randomly assigned to the treatment group ( n =30) and the control group ( n =27),and 30 healthy volunteers without cognitive deficits were recruited as normal group.Each patient was examined with auditory-P300 and scored with mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) scale.The measurement indicators were analyzed and evaluated with the factors of education,age and so on. ResultsThe P300 latency in VCIND group was longer,and the amplitude lower than those in normal group before treatment (P＜0.05 ),the latency lengthening was more significant than the lowering of the amplitude ( P＜0.01 ).The cognitive assessment scale scores of MMSE,MoCA and ADL (Barther index,BI) in VCIND group were lower than those in normal group (P＜0.05),while no significant difference was revealed between the VCIND and normal groups with regard to naming and speech( P ＞ 0.05 ).A highly positive correlation between age and P300 latency as well as a significantly negative correlation between years of education and P300 latency were demonstrated( P＜0.05 ).After cognitive rehabilitation therapy the P300 latency in VCIND group was shortened,the amplitude increased (P＜0.05 ),scores of the items of cognitive scale raised(P＜0.05 ) and the change of each indicator was more statistically significant in treatment group(P＜0.05). ConclusionP300 could objectively reflect early cognitive dysfunction in VCIND patients.Early cognitive training could effectively promote cognitive function of VCI patients.

AIM To study the effect of glucocorticoid acetic acid cortisone on expression of CaM mRNA in hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis (HPAA). METHODS Using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR),the expression of CaM mRNA was measured in HPAA of rats which were injected with acetic acid cortisone. RESULTS Acetic acid cortisone induced the expression of CaM mRNA in hypothalamus and adrenal respectively, but it had no effect significantly in pituitary. CONCLUSION These data suggest that CaM mRNA plays important role in the modulation of GC in HPAA.

A novel HBV integration site involved in hepatocarcinogenesis was investigated. The HBV DNA integration sites were detected by Alu-PCR in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues, matched surrounding liver tissues in 30 patients with hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 3 cases of normal liver tissues. The integration sites and flanking sequences in human genome were sequenced and blasted, and the expression of integrated HBV genes was determined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The influence of the up-regulated expression of integrated genes on hepatocarcinogenesis was analyzed. Nineteen integration sites of HBV DNA into HCC tissues were obtained by RT-PCR and sequencing. These genes encoding proteins were: LOC51030, LOC157777, minichromosome maintenance complex component 3 associated protein (MCM3AP), MCTP1, SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains 2 isoform 2, CCDC40, similar to HCG2033532, mitochondrial ribosomal S5 pseudogene 4. One of them was integrated into the intron of MCM3AP. RT-PCR demonstrated that the expression levels of MCM3AP mRNA in HCC tissues, matched surrounding liver tissues and normal liver tissues were in a descendent order. The ratio of MCM3AP mRNA to the GAPDH mRNA in these three tissues was 1.07375, 0.21573, 0.06747 respectively, with the difference being statistically significant among them (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the expression levels of MCM3AP mRNA from HCC tissues in which HBV DNA integrated into MCM3AP were still significantly higher than those without HBV DNA integrated into MCM3AP. It was concluded that the HBV DNA integration sites into human genome were random, and MCM3AP was a new site. The up-regulated MCM3AP mRNA may affect flanking sequences which promote the hepatocarcinogenesis.
