Objective To evaluate results of double eyelid operations with different incisions.Methods 100 patientswere selected randomly from out-patients that accepted double eyelid operation.Half of them were objected to double eyelid operation through a palpebral marginal incision.Incision was designed along the palpebral margin,close to boots of eyelashes.Most of the subcutaneous tissues was cut and removed,and then dermis and tarsal plate were fixed with 5 stitches of suture.About 1-3 mm wide of skin along superior margin was removed reasonably.In another 50 cases.double eyelid operation was performed with conventional incision.Incision was designed 6-8 mm far from the palpebral margin.Most of the subcutaneous tissues was removed.and then dermis and tarsal plate were fixed with 5 stitches of suture.Results Postoperative results were evaluated 5 days and 1 month after operation respectively.Postoperative double eyelid shapes were all satisfled in two groups.Swollen eyedids and scar were more inconspicuous in the cases with the palpebral-marginal incision without impairment on eyelashes.Conclusion Compared with double eyelid operation with conventional incision,blepharoplasty with palpebral margin incision has the same results but with lighter impairment,milder hydropsia and more inconspicuous scar.The key point of this procedure is the fixation of dermis and tarsal plate,keeping a good radian of double eyelid line.

Objective: To observe the effect of mild moxibustion on cancer-related fatigue, serum ghrelin and adiponectin in patients undergoing chemotherapy after colorectal cancer surgery. Methods: Seventy patients were divided into a control group and an observation group according to the random number table method, with 35 cases in each group. Patients in both groups were treated with conventional FOLFOX4 chemotherapy regimen. Patients in the control group also received routine treatments such as symptomatic treatment of complications, health education, nutritional support, and exercise intervention. Patients in the observation group received mild moxibustion on the basis of interventions used in the control group. The Piper fatigue scale-revision (PFS-R), Karnofsky performance status (KPS) and spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome were scored, and serum ghrelin and adiponectin levels were measured before and after treatment. Results: After treatment, total score of PFS-R in the control group did not change significantly (P>0.05), while in the observation group it was significantly reduced (P<0.05) and lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); KPS scores in both groups were increased (both P<0.05), and it was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05); total score of spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome in the control group did not change significantly (P>0.05), while it was significantly reduced in the observation group (P<0.05) and lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); serum ghrelin and adiponectin levels in the control group had no significant changes (both P>0.05), but the levels were significantly increased in the observation group (both P<0.05) and higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the routine treatments, mild moxibustion can relieve fatigue, improve quality of life, and improve the symptoms of spleen and kidney yang deficiency in patients undergoing chemotherapy after colorectal cancer surgery, which may be related to the regulation of serum ghrelin and adiponectin levels.

Objective To investigate the value of otolith-repositioning maneuver combined with medical treatment on benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in the elderly patients.Methods 176 elderly people who suffered from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo were randomly divided into observation group and control group (n=88,each).All patients were treated with basal medicine treatment and compulsive position for 21 days,and patients in the observation group were treated with otolith repositioning maneuver added on the basis.The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups after treatment.Results The curative rate and effective rate were higher in observation group than in control group at 2,3 weeks after treatment [50.0％ (44/88) vs.11.4％ (10/88),70.5％ (62/88) vs.47.7％ (42/88),77.3％ (68/88) vs.29.5％ (26/88),93.2％ (82/88) vs.86.4％ (76/88),x2 =37.32,73.32,37.32,53.43,respectively,all P＜0.05].Dizziness combined with nausea and vomiting,and walking instability were both found in the two groups,which had no statistical difference (x2 =3.25,P＞0.05).Patients in observation group developed arrhythmia and Tumarkin otolith crisis after treatment.The transfer rate of surgery was lower in observation group than in control group (x2 =45.43,P＜0.01).Conclusions Otolith-repositioning maneuver combined with medical treatment have good clinical effect and safety on benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in the elderly.

Insulin receptor substrate(IRS)-1 and IRS-2 expression levels of liver tissues and skeletal muscle in intrauterine growth retarded(IUGR)rats were investigated by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry.An IUGR animal model was established by maternal nutrition restriction during pregnancy.IRS-2 expression level of liver tissue and IRS-1 expression level of skeletal muscle in IUGR rats at 0 and 3 weeks old were significantly lower than those in normal rats at the same age respectively,and insulin resistance was induced in IUGR,and these findings might be the molecular mechanisms susceptible to metabolic syndrome in IUGR rats.

Objective To observe the change of serum neuroglobin(NGB)of normal full-term and fetal distress infants,and to explore the sensitivity and validity of NGB as potential biomarker for brain injury.Methods The technique of double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure NGB was established,and stable data standard curve was gained.Serum NGB of umbilical cord artery in 35 normal full-term(17 male,18 female)and 32 newborn infants were measured.The differece of serum NGB in gender,and the changes in serum NGB of fetal distress infants were analyzed,who were probably injured by anoxia.The results were analyzed by Stata 7.0 software.Results The standard curvilinear equation was Y=exp(-5.881 532+11.955 890?X)+2.281 506E-02(linear correlation coefficient r=0.999 4 P0.05);the average NGB in the serum of umbilical cord artery of fetal distress infants was(149.7?43.2)?g/L,which was significantly higher than that of normal full-term infants(t=2.941 6 P

Objective To explore egg mimotope of Schistosoma japonicum that can be used in the development of diagnostic reagents for schistosomiasis.\ Methods\ By performing three rounds of biopanning in the affinity selection before picking out single clones for identification, target specific phages were effectively enriched from a random 15\|peptides phage library with an immobilized mAb 6B12 which is specific to egg antigen of S\^japonicum as a bait. By using ELISA, competitive ELISA with natural egg antigen as competitor, and Western blotting, 13 phage clones with high affinity and specificity to 6B12 were obtained and amplified from 400 single clones. \ Results \ DNA sequencing revealed that all the 13 selected single clones were identical in displaying gene sequence. Serum samples were tested by ELISA for the presence of IgG antibodies to the phages with mimic epitope, and showed that there was a significant difference between healthy volunteers and schistosomiasis patients.\ Conclusion \ It is possible that the phage display peptide antigen, egg mimotope of S.japonicum may be a replacement of natural egg antigen for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of port catheter system(PCS)placement in pulmonary artery via percutaneous subclavicle vein treatment for multiple metastatic tumor in the two lungs and discuss the PCS technique.Methods Fifteen multiple metastatic tumor patients(13 hepatocellular carcinomas,one mandible grand adenocarcinoma,one oral bottom squamous carcinoma)were carried out with pulmonary artery PCS placement by way of percutaneous subclavicle vein.FPA/FPM/GP chemotherapy scheme were introduced every 4～6 weeks.Results The success rate of PCS placement technique was 93.3%(14/15).One case failed.Percutaneous subclavicle veins were performed 14 cases in right side and 1 in left one.Following up 2～43 months,2～7 chemotherapy cycles(mean 5 cycles)were accomplished,and the clinical CR and PR were achieved in 1 and 3 cases respectively with clinical efficacy rate 28.6%(4/14).Major side reaction was late wound healing in 1 case.Conclusion PCS placement in pulmonary artery treatment for multiple metastatic tumor in the two lungs is effective,and mastering operation technique is the key for increasing operation suc- cess rate.

OTX1 gene is one of the pivotal transcriptional factors involved in the neurogenesis.In order to overexpress the OTX1 gene in distinct cell types and find out its contribution to the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells in vitro,OTX1 cDNA was subcloned into lentiviral vectors.The resulting constructions pDUETOTX1,pDUETGFPOTX1 and pDUETGFP were packaged in 293 cells producing viral particles to transduce 293T cells,SY5Y cells,mouse embryonic stem cells and E15 neural stem cells.It was proved that the transferred OTX1 gene was located in the nuclei of the transduced cells in stead of plasma.Lentivirus is an ideal vector delivering gene to different cells.The overexpression of OTX1 in transduced 293T cells were validated by Western blot and immunofluorescence.

The work aims to study the drug metabolizing enzymes involved in the metabolism of butylphthalide and evaluate the induction and inhibition activities of butylphthalide on CYP450 isoenzymes by using in vitro (liver microsome incubation system of rats and human) and in vivo (CYP induced model of rats) method. Butylphthalide was incubated with selective inhibitors of CYP450, and its metabolic rate was determined to identify the metabolizing isoenzymes of NBP in rat (normal and induced rats) and human liver microsomes. The in vitro inhibition effect of butylphthalide on 6 main liver microsomal CYP450 isoenzymes was evaluated by using probe drugs; the induction and inhibition activities in vivo of butylphthalide on CYP450 isoenzymes were evaluated by NBP ig dosing (160 mg x kg(-1)) and iv dosing (20 mg x kg(-1)) in rats. After adding the specific inhibitors of CYP2C11, 2E1 and 3A 1/2 for rat, CYP2C19, 2E1 and 3A4/5 for human, the metabolism of NBP in rat and human liver microsomes were reduced 38.8%, 86.2%, 78.4% and 51.0%, 92.0%, 58.9% of control, respectively. The metabolic rates of NBP in CYP2E1 and 3A 1/2 induced rat liver microsomes were increased 25.5% and 68.9%. High concentration of NBP (≥ 200 μmol x L(-1), in vitro) could inhibit the activities of CYP1A2, 2C6, 2C11 and 2D2 in rats, and high concentration of NBP ( ≥ 15 μmol x L(-1), in vitro) could inhibit the activity of CYP2C19 in human. All the results indicated that NBP should be mainly metabolized by CYP2E1, 2C11 and 3A 1/2 in rats and CYP2E1, 2C19 and 3A4/5 in human. High concentration of NBP could inhibit human CYP2C19 in vitro. No significant induction/inhibition effects of NBP were observed on rat liver CYP450 isoforms after ig 160 mg x kg(-1) NBP or iv 20 mg x kg(-1) NBP.
