objective: To develop an accurate, reliable and efficient carotid artery compression training device .Methods:Adopting present technology for production of skin dilators in combination with anatomical characters of human carotid artery, an implantable carotid artery training occluder (ICATO) was designed and manufactured. The mechanical properties were tested and the carotid artery occlude effect was investigated in 12 dogs. Results: The expansion stress of the water cyst and duct of the occluder was 40 kPa, that of the water imput valve 30 kPa,tear stress of the nylon cloth was 5 kg. The carotid artery could be completely blocked at the pressure of 19 kPa produced by the occluder. Conclusion: ICATO can obstruct carotid artery for the purpose of compression training of carotid artery.

Objective To study the clinical value of anatomizing and ligating the short hepatic veins (SHVs) and right hepatic veins through the right Retrohepatic Tunnel (RT) in right hemibepatectomy of giant hepatic carcinoma.Methods We performed the right hemibepatectomy on 23 patients with huge tumors which diameters were lager than 8 cm.There were four main procedures during the operation.Firstly,sperated the interspace between right hepatic veins and middle hepatic veins through secundum porta hepatis.Secondly,seperated and ligated the right hepatic portal vein and hepatic artery in the Glisson's system.Thirdly,anatomized and ligated SHVs and right hepatic veins through the right RT conversly.Finally,set a blocking-belt at the left of the central liver and then cut the right hemi-hepar.Results The anatomy of right hepatic artery,Portal Vein,retrohepatic inferior vena cava (RHIVC),right hepatic veins was well done.The intraoperative blood loss of 7 patients was less than 400 mL,and 11 was 500-700 mL,2 was 800-1 000 mL,3 was 1 100-1 400 mL,and average was 640 mL.The hepatic function was changed in the third day afteroperation.The numerus of TBIL of 16 patients was 20-40 μmol/L,and 6 was 45-50 μmol/L,and 1 was 60 μmol/L.The numerus of ALT of 14 patients was 150-200 U/L,and 9 was 250-400 U/L.The numerus of AST of of 13 patients was 160-200 U/L,and 9 was 230-400 U/L,and 1 was 430 U/L.The numerus of GGT of 14 patients was 160-200 U/L,and 8 was 220-310 U/L,and 1 was 420 U/L.The hepaticfailure happened to 1 patient because of deep venous infection.Conclusions The right hemibepatectomy through the right retrohepatic tunnel is feasible in the tumor without invasion the RHIVC and diaphragm,or the volume was not too huge.The operation could reduce the blood loss and make for the recovery of hepatic funtions.

Objective To investigate the clinical diagnosis and treatment of incomplete Beh et′s disease. Methods The clinical data of 52 patients (83 eyes ) with incomplete Beh et′s disease were retrospectively analysed. Visual acuity and results of examination of slit-lamp microscope, ocular fundus, and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) were observed and analysed. All of patients were treated by local cycloplegic, systemic treatment with glucocorticoid and cytoxan. The followed-up period was 1 year or more. Results Recurrent hypopyon or empyema of anterior chamber angle, and hyperaemia of optic papilla was found in 54 and 41 eyes, respectively. The results of FFA showed that abnormal changes were found in all of the eyes. There was vascular leakage and staining of optic papilla at the early and late stage in 83 eyes (100%), diffuse leakage of retinal capillary vessel in 83 eyes (100%), and leakage of affected branch of retinal vessel and staining of the vascular wall at the late stage in 71 eyes (85.54%).After the treatment, the disease recovered completely in 20 patients (26 eyes), recovered partly in 20 (33 eyes), and alleviated in 12 (24 eyes). No patients suffered from hypopyon or empyema of anterior chamber angle and hyperemia of optic papilla. None of the patients had oral ulcer, genital ulcer or arthritis until the last day of the follow-up. Conclusions Recurrent hypopyon, papillitis, and retinal vasculitis were the main clinical manifestations of incomplete Beh et′s disease. FFA redounds to the diagnosis of the disease and timely application of cycloplegic and systemic application of glucocorticoid and cytoxan may inhibit the aggravation of the disease effectively.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common progressive degenerative disease of the central nervous system. It's also a main cause for dementia in presenium and senectitude. In the past few years, the discoveries in vitro expansion of neural stem cells (NSCs) indicate a new way for recovery and replacement of damaged neurons as well as reconstruction of the neural circuit, and offer a useful future therapy for AD. There are two main promising approaches in NSCs replacement therapy. They are endogenetic approach, inducing proliferation and differentiation of endogenetic NSCs, improving self-repair of central nervous system, and exogenous approach, ransplantation of exogenous tissue and promoting proliferation of endogenous NSCs. However, it may not become truth before the mechanism of NSCs' proliferation, migration, differentiation and it's integration with the host tissues to be elucidated.

Objective To investigate the accuracy of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in diagnosing acute severe panereatitis.Methods Thirty three patients with acute severe pancreatitis were enrolled in the study and all of them underwent CEUS and spiral computed tomography(CT) scan.CT was taken as gold standard in acute severe pancreatitis diagnosis.CEUS were done within 72 hours after CT scan.Results Compared with CT, the sensitivity, specificity,accuracy, positive predictive value,and negative predictive value of CEUS for detecting the necrosis of pancreas were 90%, 95%, 94%, 90% and 95%respectively.The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value,and negative predictive value of CEUS in diagnosing severe acute pancreatitis were 85%, 92%, 88%, 94% and 80% respectively, while 37% ,86% ,58%, 78%, 50% for conventional ultrasound respectively.Conclusions CEUS is accurate in detection of pancreatic necrosis and diagnosis of acute severe pancreatitis.

The cGAS-STING pathway plays a significant role in host defense against viral and bacterial infection.In the process,the cytoplasmic free DNA,considered as a danger signal,is recognized by nucleotidyl transferase cGAS.cGAS is activated by double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and catalyzes the synthesis of a noncanonical cyclic dinucleotide 2'5'-cGAMP from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine triphosphate (GTP).cGAMP serve as an endogenous second messenger to stimulate the induction of type Ⅰ interferons via STING.In addition to the exogenous bacterial or viral DNA,abnormal deposition of host DNA in cytosol also activates the cGAS-STING signaling pathway cascade,resulting in inflammation and autoimmune diseases.Subsequent studies found that this pathway also plays an important role in tumor's responsiveness to radio-therapy and chemo-therapy.Activation of cGAS-STING pathway produces or enhances the therapeutic efficacy.These findings suggest that specifically interfering with cGAS-STING activation may hold therapeutic value for the treatment of cancer,infection and inflammatory diseases.In this paper,the activation mechanism of cGAS-STING pathway and its relationship with the treatment of diseases were summarized,and the regulation of cGAS-STING pathway was introduced in detail.

OBJECTIVE:To study the kinetics of percutaneous permeability of baicalin in nude mice.METHODS:The transdermal constants of baicalin via nude mouse’s skin were determined,and the effects of stratum corneum on the kinetics studied.RESULTS:The kinetic equation of baicalin via nude mouse’s skin was Q=76.07T 1/2 -32.11,while the kinetic equa?tion of baicalin via nude mouse’s skin without stratum corneum was Q=134.25T 1/2 +29.07,and there was baicalin exuded from skin after detachment of patch.CONCLUSION:The kinetics of the patches is accord with the characteristics of frame?work type;the main barrier for baicalin permeance is stratum corneum and the skin without stratum corneum could store drugs.
