Objective Implanting surgical meshes to support breast in periareoler mammaplasty shows an excellent prospect.But shrinking of the mesh and the adhesion formation affected the postoperative shape and palpation of the breast.The aim of this study was to compare biocompatible properties of four different polypropylene meshes (Prolene(R) ; Vypro Ⅱ(R) ; Premilene Mesh (R) and Premilene Mesh LP(R)) and to discuss the inclusion criteria of meshes in this technique.Methods The study was carried out in pigs.Four different polypropylene meshes were implanted subcutaneously in belly.90 days after implantation the mesh samples were explanted,and complications,foreign-body reaction,collagen fiber and elastic fiber formation were observed,as well as ultrastructures for the biocompatible properties.Results The biocompatible properties of each mesh were different.The foreign-body reactions determined the biocompatible properties,and affected the postoperative shape greatly.Conclusions Premilene Mesh LP o as a newer low-weight polypropylene mesh,has superior properties to the others.

A comparative study on the glycolic acid oxidase (GO) of the domestic Spirulina(Arthrospira) platensis (S_(1)) from alkaline lake in Erdos Plateau and the imported S. (A.) platensis (S_(2)) and S. (A.) maxima (S_(3)) as well is made with colorimetric method. The results show that activity of GO (25℃, pH 8.0) of S_(1), S_(2 )and S_(3) is 70.9 U/gFW, 59.6 U/gFW and 80.9 U/gFW respectively; the GO's optimum temperature of S_(1)、S_(2) and S_(3 )is 30℃; the GO's optimum pH value of S_(1 )is 8.6,while that of S_(2 ) 8.2 and that of S_(3) 8.4; the GO of S_(1 )is stable from 0℃ to 35℃ and from pH 7.6 to pH 10.0, while that of S_(2) from 0℃ to 30℃ and from pH 8.0 to pH 9.0 and that of S_(3) from 0℃ to 35℃ and from pH 8.0 to pH 8.6. Adaptive range of S_(1) GO for temperature and pH is wider, and activity at low and high temperature and under strong acidand alkali conditions is higher than that of the imported species.

BACKGROUND:Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are certainly related to seasons.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze whether there is a seasonal pattern for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after total hip and knee arthroplasty.
METHODS:We retrospected 866 patients (1 114 joints) underwent total hip and knee arthroplasty. There were 506 cases of total hip arthroplasty, including 287 male cases and 219 female cases, and 608 cases of total knee arthroplasty, including 133 male cases and 475 female cases. The average age was (60.98±0.87) years. After arthroplasty, patients were given color Doppler ultrasound in the deep veins of the lower limbs and pelvis to analyze the correlation between occurrence of deep vein thrombosis and seasons.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was a significant difference in the incidence of deep vein thrombosis in summer and winter (χ2=7.190, P=0.007), in summer and spring (χ2=6.995, P=0.008), as wel as in summer and autumn (χ2=5.663, P=0.017). No statistical differences were tested in spring and autumn, in autumn and winter, and in spring and winter (P>0.05). These findings indicate that there is a seasonal variation of deep venous thrombosis after arthroplasty, and the highest incidence of deep vein thrombosis is in winter.

Objective To observe the curative effect of autologous bone marrow stem cells implantation to bone inducing active material combined with core decompression in the treatment of early femoral head osteonecrosis (FHON).Methods From April,2010 to March,2012,in Department of Orthopaedics,the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,a total of 79 adult patients with 108 hips suffered from the early stage FHON were treated with autologous bone marrow stem cells implantation to bone inducing active material combined with core decompression through the core of the femoral canal,male of 65 cases,female of 14 cases,the mean age was 29.5 (20-50) years old.According to the etiology classification:the alcohol-induced FHON was in 54 patients with 66 hips,steroid-induced FHON in 14 patients with 20 hips,steroid and alcohol-induced ONFH was in 11patients with 22 hips.According to association research circulation osseous (ARCO)classifying,Ⅰ-A,Ⅰ-B,Ⅱ-A,Ⅱ-B phases were 6,16,8,and 78 hips,respectively.There were 43 hips in left side and 65 hips in the right side.Results All patients were followed up from 4 to 6 (4.8 ± 0.6) years.Compared with before operation,the scores of all patients were significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05).All patients with hip pain symptoms were relieved or disappeared.The healing tine of the patients in all age groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05),and with the increase of age,the healing time was prolonged.The excellent and good rates of Ⅰ-A,Ⅰ-B,Ⅱ-Aand Ⅱ-B were 100％ (6 / 6),100％ (16/16),100％ (8/8),and 98.7％ (77/78).The X-ray showed that coarse channel osteogenic phenomenon is obvious,there is 1 case collapse of femoral head of stage Ⅱ-B,the rest were not collapse.Conclusion The treatment of early osteonecrosis of the femoral head with autologous bone marrow stem cells implantation to bone inducing active material combined with core decompressionis definitely effective,especially in patients with ARCO:Ⅰ-A,Ⅰ-B and Ⅱ-A phase,and the effect of ARCO:Ⅰ-A and Ⅱ-A is the best.

Objective To study the anticoagulation therapy of lower molecular weight heparin in the treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis.Methods Seventy-three patients with acute pancreatitis were divided into anticoagulation group(n=38)and control group(n=35).The serological indexes and prognosis of patients were detected.Results Anticoagulation treatment with lower molecular weight heparin significantly decreased the white blood cell count,increased the oxygen partial pressure in arterial blood,shoaened the duration of hospitalization,and reduced the aggravation rate,secondary operation rate and mortality of patients with acute pancreatitis.Conclusions Anticoagulation treatment with lower molecular weight heparin is safe,effective and can improve the prognosis of patients with acute pancreatitis.

Objective To study the relationship of abnormal family history in the first degree relatives and the clinical phenotype of patients with polyeystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods Clinical data of first degree relatives of 139 women with PCOS were collected by questionnaires,including body mass index(BMI),waist hip ratio(WHR),and hursutism score.Follicle stimulating hormone(FSH), luteinizing hormone(LH),prolactin(PRL),testosterone(T),androstenedione(A),oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)and insulin releasing test were measured.Results(1)Compared with patients with a negative family history of diabetes mellitus,for women with a positive family history,WHR(0.99?0.10 vs 0.79?0.08)and score of hirsutism(1.9?1.2 vs 1.8?1.2)were increased,the duration of menstruation was longer[(108?10)vs(92?19)days];A[(11?6)vs(8?5)nmol/L],homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR,3.5?2.0 vs 2.7?1.6),area under curve(AUC) glucose[(836?245)vs(748?139)nmol?L~(-1)?min~(-1)],AUC insulin[(9670?4582)vs(7330?4311) mIU?L~(-1)?min~(-1)],fasting glucose[(5.0?1.1)vs(4.8?0.5)mmol/L]and fasting insulin[(15?8)vs (11?8)mIU/L]were increased,while early insulin secretion function index(?I60/?G60,32?22 vs 52?30),insulin sensitive index(ISI,0.019?0.011 vs 0.033?0.014)and disposition index(DI,18? 10 vs 30?22;P

To study the function of expelling water retention with drastic purgative of different polarities of Kansui Radix stir-baked with vinegar on the cancerous ascites model rats, the furosemide was taken as positive control drug, and the cancerous ascites model rats were respectively orally administered with different polarities of Kansui Radix stir-baked with vinegar for 7 d. The amount of urine and ascites, the level of urinary sodium, potassium, chloride ion and pH, and the content of PRL1, AII, ALD in serum were investigated. Compared with model groups, ethyl acetate extract group showed a decreasing trend in ascites; the amount of urine of showed a significant increase (P < 0.05); the level of urinary sodium, potassium, chloride ion (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), pH (P < 0.05), and the content of PRL1, AII, ALD in serum all showed a significant decrease (P < 0.01). The effects of petroleum ether extract and n-butanol extract were weaker than that of ethyl acetate extract. The water exact was the weakest. The results showed that ethyl acetate extract is the active part of Kansui Radix stir-baked with vinegar on the function of expelling water retention with drastic purgative on the cancerous ascites model rats, alleviating the water-electrolyte disorder and body fluid acid-base imbalance, regulating the renin angiotensin aldosterone system.
