The lumbar part of the sympathetic trunk in 206 sides of cadavers was observed. The results were outlined as follows:1. The average length of the lumbar sympathetic trunk in the adults is 17.58?4.51 cm on the left side and 16.60?5.14 cm on the right side respectively.2. In most cases (40.29?3.42%), there are 4 lumbar sympathetic ganglia on each side. They may fuse with each other between themselves, or the 1st lumbar ganglion fuses with the lowest thoracic ganglion (12.60?2.31%), or the lowest lumbar ganglion fuses with the 1st sacral ganglion (6.31?1.69%).3. The lumbar sympathetic ganglion gives off ramus communicans connecting the corresponding spinal nerve. The number of the ramus communicans of each ganglion varies from 0 to 6, but in most cases, 2～3, and decreases from above downwards along the trunk. There are frequently two or more rami in the upper lumbar ganglia, but only one in the lower ganglia.4. The number and sites of the lumbar ganglia on both sides of an individual are rarely symmetric (1.98?1.37%). One of these ganglia is situated constantly near the brim of pelvis or the common iliac artery, and accordingly it can be found easily.Most of the lumbar arteries are situated deep to the lumbar sympathetic trunk, only in a few cases, they are situated superficially, and all of them occur on the left side. In 25.75?3.05%, the lumbar veins are likewise located superficially. This can be found in any pair of the veins, but frequently at 3rd or 4th ones.The observation may be helpful to surgical operation.

Objectives: To research the effects of recombinant human growth hormone on hypoproteinemia after severe head injury. Methods: Thirty six patients with hypoproteinemia after severe head injury were randomized into study group and control group. In study group, the rhGH was administered subcutaneously in the dose of 8 U every day for 7～10 days. Serum albumin, prealbumin and transferin were determined in 5 days and 10 days after giving rhGH. Results: The serum albumin, prealbumin and transferin were increased obviously in study group. Conclusions: rhGH can effectively correct hypoproteinemia after severe head injury.

Objective To establish the triplex Taqman probes real-time RT-PCR method for simultaneously detecting of EV71,CA16 and EV.Methods Retrospective study.Specific primers and probes were designed based on conserved regions of EV71,CA16 and EV.The sensitivity,specificity and reproducibility were assessed by the optimized reaction system.A total of 176 throat swabs as the experimental group were collected from children with suspected hand foot mouth disease (HFMD),who admitted from April 2012 to July 2012 in Nanjing Children's Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University.During this time,10 cases of healthy children,10 cases of outpatients with flu-like symptoms and 90 cases of inpatients in pneumology department of our hospital were recruited as control group,whose throat swabs were also collected.All of 286 samples were tested by the triplex Taqman probes real-time RT-PCR for simultaneously detecting EV71,CA16 and EV.SPSS13.0 was used to analyze the results.Results The sensitivities of the triplex Taqman probes real-time RT-PCR was 1.0 × 103 copies per milliliter for EV71,CA16 and EV.It showed 100％ specificity for 9 enterovirus and 3 non-enterovirus.Analysis with 1.0 × 103-1.0 × 105 copies per milliliter constructed plasmids demonstrated high reproducibility with coefficient of variation of 0.44％-1.04％ for EV71,0.38％-0.73％ for CA16,and 0.46％-0.90％ for EV.More over 176 samples collected from children with suspected HFMD were detected by triplex Taqman probes real-time RTPCR and real-time RT-PCR.The results showed 97.2％ (171/176)agreement and 0.94 Kappa value with high concordance.Conclusions The triplex Taqman probes real-time RT-PCR detecting EV71,CA16 and EV simultaneously has been established successfully.The assay,with high sensitivity and specificity,provide good basis for the rapid clinical diagnosis of EV71,CA16 and EV and open up broad prospects for clinical and relevant researches.

Objective To investigate the percentage of Th17 cells and regulatory T cells in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) and observe the effects of methylprednisolone infusion on these cells.Methods The circulating Th17 cells and CD4+ CD25highT cells of 66 MG patients and 35 healthy controls were detected using four colour cytometry. The relationship between these cells and MGFA score in 18 MG patients and in 8 MG patients after methylprednisolone was infusion were also analyzed in this study. Results There was significant difference in the percentage of circulating Th17 cells between MG patients (2. 61% ±0. 28% ) and the healthy controls (0. 94% ± 0. 12%, Z = 4. 059, P = 0. 0001 ). Methylprednisolone therapy significantly reduced the percentage of circulating Th17 cells from 4. 72% ± 1.21% to 1.81% ± 0. 69%(Z = 1. 995,P = 0. 0460). In addition, the percentage of Th17 cells showed a positive correlation with MGFA score(r =0. 5359, P =0. 0219). Conclusions Circulating Th17 cells are elevated in MG patients.Methylprednisolone therapy can reduce such elevation, and this may be important in mediating symptomatic improvement in MG patients.
