Objective To observe the effects of autologous myoblast transplantation on endplate regeneration and neuromuscular function restoration following direct nerve implantation (DNI) in rats so as to offer experimental basis for the use of myoblasts in neural regeneration area and further lay foundation for the research using myoblasts as transgenic carriers. Methods A total of 20 male SD rats were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,with 10 rats in each group.Models of DNI in rat gastrocnemius were established.The experimental group was injected with primarily cultured autologous myoblasts to the DNI location,while the control group was injected with isometric medium without autologous myoblasts.The effects of myoblasts on the neuromuscular function recovery following DNI were studied by detecting the tibial functional index (FTI),neuro-electrophysiology and pathohistology.Results The experimental group displayed faster tibial nerve function recovery than the control group (P ＜ 0.01 ).The peak to peak value (PPV) of gastrocnemius neuro-electrophysiology,area under the curve and regenerated endplate number of the experimental group had statistical significances as compared with the control group ( P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusion Myoblast autotransplantation accelerates the recoveryof neuromuscular function after rat DNI and increases the number of the regenerated endplates.

Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common intraocular malignant tumor in children. With advanced clinical technologies there are more and more methods available to treat retinoblastoma, and make it is possible to delivery individualized protocol combined traditional treatments with modern regimen to patients now. In order to improve the survival rate and the life quality of RB patients in China, it is very important to make a suitable system of standardized therapy based on results from developed countries and health policies of our own country.

Objective To investigate a new method in correction of epicanthus.Methods Asymmetrical Z-plasty was used in correcting epicanthus and lengthening palpebral fissure in 42 cases with 84 eyes.It could be combined with double-eyelid-blepharoplasty to create beautiful eyes.Results All 42 cases with 84 eyes had satisfactory outcome after half a year to 2 years follow-up.The epicanthus scar was conspicuous in the first 6 weeks and it subsided gradually.In the three cases.the hypertrophic scar occurred in the epicanthus,but it softened and became inconspieuous 6 mouths after operation.Conclusion Asymmetrical Z-plasty is a new and reliable method for correction of epicanthus with inconspicuous scar and little chance of recurrence that can be widely used.

Long Jing 1 (L01) is the effective component extracted from asiatic todd-alia. In the experiments on rat thoracic aortic rings, L01 45-405 ?mol/L inhibited thecontraction initiated by high K~+ or NE, the IC_(50) value was 206.93 and 94.18 ?mol/Lrespectively. L01 shifted the dose-response curve of KCl or NE to the right, and reducedthe maximal response, also shifted that of CaCl_2 to the right parallelly. The effects ofL01 were similar to that of Ver (verapamil) in the blockage on PDC. Morever L01 80 ?mol/Linhibited the release of intracellular Ca~(2+) and extracellular Ca~(2+) influx initiated by NE,the former effect was more significant than the latter (this was different from Ver). Theseresults suggested that L01 was probably a new calcium antagonist different from Ver.

Objective To assess the value of CT in the diagnosis of PRF,and analyze the reason of misdiagnosis. Methods Retrospectively analyze the CT data of ten patients with retroperitoneal fibrosis,which were confirmed by the clinical pathology.All the patients underwent CT scan and enhanced scan.Two experienced physicians using the blind method to evaluate the location, boundary, density, invasion on the surrounding tissue and enhancement of retroperitoneal fibrosis lesions respectively.Results All patients with CT scan findings were retroperitoneal irregular-shaped soft tissue lesions,which was similar to muscle density.6 cases with surrounding the retroperitoneal vessel, 2 cases with expansion and hydrops of renal pelvis and ureter.By enhanced scan,9 cases with different degrees of enhancement,1 case without obvious enhancement.6 cases were misdiagnosed as retroperitoneal schwannoma or lymphoma. Conclusion CT can show the characteristics of retroperitoneal fibrosis. Comprehensively analyze various imaging findings is helpful for the diagnosis of retroperitoneal fibrosis. Misdiagnosis reason is mainly due to retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare disease,and understanding of this disease in imaging findings is insufficient in the daily work.

As the burden of anesthesiology teaching is heavy in undergraduate course, teachers can communicate with the students by nonverbal behaviors, such as eye contact, silent language, facial expression, paralanguage, which can make class atmosphere active, develop harmonious teacher-student relationship, and improve the quality of class teaching. Teachers of anesthesiology should take some measures, such as rehearsing lessons, summing up the experience of the lessons in time, accu-mulating the experience of nonverbal behaviors, and doing some exercise for the nonverbal behavior as much as possible, so as to set up an excellent atmosphere for teaching ,and meanwhile improve the quality of anesthesiology teaching.

ABSTRACT Calcium homeostasis is of crucial importance for the function of cardial myocytes in normal electrical and mechanical processes. The sarcoplasmic reticular Ca-ATPase and the sar-colemmic Na/Ca exchanger contribute mainly to the steady state of calcium in the myoplasm. The Na/Ca exchanger serves as the principal calcium extrusion mechanism and regulates calcium content of the sarcoplasmic reticulum by regulating the resting [Ca2+]i level, through which the Na/Ca exchanger regulates the force of contraction sequentially. Very small calcium entry can trigger significant sarcoplasmic reticular calcium release (CICR). During the upstroke and plateau phasesof the action potential, There is evidence that indicates Ca2+ influx via the Na/Ca exchanger, and the depolarisation-induced calcium entry on Na/Ca exchange may contribute mainly to triggering intra-cellular calcium release. Na/Ca exchange should be reevaluated as a route through which Ca2+, as a triggering signal, enters cardiac myocyte during excitation-contraction coupling.

Objective:To provide ideas for the participation of clinical pharmacists in clinical individualized medication.Methods:Clinical pharmacists participated in the clinical consultation for one senior patient with acute cholangitis treated with biapenem.Results:The consultation comments and suggestions proposed by clinical pharmacists were accepted by clinics,which played an important role in assisting doctors in the rational drug use and significantly improved the medical treatment.Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists should participate in individualized medication and help clinicians optimize drug therapy,which can improve the safety and efficacy of medication.
