Objective To study one simple, safe and effective method of periorbital rhytidectomy. Methods With turgescent anesthesia, 1 cm -extent was dissected laterally deep under musculus orbicularis oculi at the approach of eyebrow area. The musculus orbicularis oculi was fixed to the deep temporal fascia and frontal periosteum. The superciliary corrugator muscle and depressor muscle were exposured and cut. Then the eyelid blepharoalasty was performed through the skin incision, meanwhile the lateral pars orbitalis muscle was liberated to form an orbitalis muscle flap under the orbitalis muscle and the fat pad, which was fixed to the os orbitale periost by lifting tight to lateral and upper side. For patients with generous pars buccalis and obvious nose lip ditch, the cheekbone fat cushion was also hanged and fixed. Results 65 middle age female patients were followed up for 3～16 months. The scar was no obvious, glabellar wrinkle and canthal wrinkle disappeared at static state, relaxed upper eyelid and eyebrow prolapse reached to complete correct, nasolabial groove wrinkle obvious lessened. 95 % patients were satisfacted with the appearance. Conjunctival edema was found in 4 cases, and disappeared within 1 months. There were no facial nerve injury and other complications. Conclusions It is a new incisional approach that avoids the facial nerves and lessens fossa orbitalis retrogradation. The operative procedure is simple and safe, and its incision is occult. The wound is small and restores rapidly, but the effect is reliable and lasting. It proves to be an ideal approach for face rejuvenation.

Objective To evaluate the value of MSCT perfusion imaging in assessment of single renal function of hydronephrotic kidney.Methods 64-slice spiral CT perfusion was performed in 36 obstructive nephrohydrosis patients whose split renal glomerular filtration rate(GFR) was measured by SPECT renal dynamic imaging. ①The perfusion parameters of the renal cortex and renal medulla of the hydronephrotic kidney were compared with the normal kidney studied by contrast group. ②The 72 kidneys were divided into normal renal function, mild and severe renal impairment groups according to renal function. Differences between the groups respect to all the mean perfusion parameters of the renal cortex and renal medulla were assesses by ANOVA. ③Using Pearsons correlation test, the correlations between all the mean perfusion parameters of the renal cortex and renal medulla and renal GFR were examined.Results ① The time-density curves of bilateral normal renal cortex and medulla were not symmetric. The mean BF, BV, PS, PBV of renal cortex were (203. 2±44.9)ml·100 ml~(-1)·min~(-1), (27.6±3.9)ml/100 ml, (30.7±6.5)ml·100 ml~(-1)· min~(-1), (46.5±10. 9)ml/100 ml; and the mean BF, BV, PS, PBV of renal medulla were (99.9±24.1)ml·100 ml~(-1)·min~(-1) ,(18. 3±4.3)ml/100 ml, (51.8±12.1)ml · 100 ml~(-1)· min~(-1) , (21.3±3.0)ml/100 ml. The mean perfusion parameters of the cortex and medulla of obstructed kidney were lower compared to that of normal kidney. ②There were significant differences of all the perfusion parameters of the renal cortex and me-dulla between 3 groups (P<0. 05). ③The perfusion parameters of the renal cortex and medulla had positive linear correlation with GFR. The best correlation was the blood flow of the cortex of kidney. The correlation coefficient r=0.852.Conclusions64-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging can quantita-tively evaluate the haemodynamic condition and functional lesion of the kidney, classify the impaired kidney function. The perfusion parameters of the renal cortex and medulla had positive linear correlation with GFR.

Objective To understand the infection situation of human T lymphocyte virus(HTLV) among blood donors in Zhongshan area.Methods Blood samples from 40 874 blood donors in Zhongshan from March to December 2016 were screened for HTLV antibody by using,enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The positive samples were reexamined two times,and specimens with positive results of reexamination were detected by using immunohistochemical method(CLIA).Then the positive samples were confirmed by Western blot(WB),and confirmed positive samples were judged as infection.Results Of all 40 874 cases of voluntary blood donors,21 cases were positive with HTLV antibody detected by ELISA,the positive rate of ELISA was 0.05%.Five cases were positive detected by CLIA method.One case was confirmed by WB,and the infection rate was 0.002 4%.Conclusion In order to ensure the safety of blood transfusion and reduce blood transfusion infection of HTLV,it might be necessary to perform HTLV screening in first-time blood donors in Zhongshan area.

Objective To estimate the effect of different doses of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the proliferation of and apoptosis in kertatinocytes,as well as on the expression of p53,matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) and-9 (MMP9) in actinic keratosis (AK) lesions and normal human skin.Methods Tissue specimens were obtained from the lesions of 20 patients with AK and sun-exposed normal skin of 20 healthy human subjects,and subjected to an air-exposed culture.Each of the specimens was divided into 4 areas to remain untreated (control area) or be irradiated with UV of 5,10 and 20 J/cm2 (irradiated areas) for 4 consecutive days.After another 24-hour culture,the tissue cultures were collected followed by the evaluation of apoptosis in and proliferation of keratinocytes by using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and Ki-67 staining,and determination of mRNA and protein expressions of p53,MMP2 and MMP9 by using real time PCR and immunohistochemistry respectively.Results A statistical increase was observed in the percentage of apoptotic cells in the normal skin irradiated with UV of 10 and 20 J/cm2 (46.8％ ± 2.1％ and 56.7％± 2.4％,both P ＜ 0.05) and in the AK lesions irradiated with UV of 20 J/cm2 (43.5％ ± 1.5％,P ＜ 0.05)compared with the corresponding unirradiated tissues.The normal skin showed a higher percentage of apoptotic cells than the lesional skin after irradiation with UV of 10 and 20 J/cm2 (both P ＜ 0.05).The percentage of Ki67-positive cells was significantly decreased in the normal skin after irradiation with UV of 20 J/cm2 (3.34％ ±0.76％,P ＜ 0.05),but experienced no statistical changes in the lesional skin after different doses of UV irradiation (all P ＞ 0.05).There was a statistical elevation in the expression of p53 mRNA (5 J/cm2:1.106 ± 0.025,10 J/cm2: 1.259 ± 0.045,20 J/cm2:1.425 ± 0.053,all P ＜ 0.05) and protein(10 J/cm2:0.1169 ± 0.0032,20 J/cm2:0.1454 ± 0.0047,both P＜ 0.05) in the normal skin,but a statistical reduction in the expression of p53 mRNA(10 J/cm2.0.611 ± 0.050,20 J/cm2:0.578 ± 0.070,both P ＜ 0.05) and protein (20 J/cm2:0.0404 ± 0.0027,P＜ 0.05) in the lesional skin after irradiation compared with the corresponding unirradiated skin tissues.Further more,a statistical increment was observed in MMP2 mRNA and protein expression in normal skin irradiated with UV of 10 J/cm2 (1.086 ± 0.013,0.0843 ± 0.0024,respectively,both P ＜ 0.05) and 20 J/cm2 (1.417 ± 0.036,0.1236 ±0.0042,respectively,both P ＜ 0.05) and in lesional skin irradiated with UV of 20 J/cm2 (1.296 ± 0.028,0.0744± 0.0032,respectively,both P ＜ 0.05),as well as in MMP9 mRNA and protein expression in normal skin irradiated with UV of 20 J/cm2 (1.395 ± 0.026,0.3065 ± 0.0162,respectively,both P ＜ 0.05) and in lesional skin irradiated with UV of 10 J/cm2 (1.298 ± 0.035,0.0992 ± 0.0053,respectively,both P ＜ 0.05) and 20 J/cm2(1.286 ± 0.032,0.1010 ± 0.0063,respectively,both P ＜ 0.05) compared with the corresponding unirradiated tissues.Conclusion Ultraviolet may accelerate the progression of AK by down-regulating p53 expression but up-regulating MMP2 and MMP9 expression.

Objective To evaluate the performance of actinic keratosis (AK) tissue as a culture model for the study of interference in transduction pathway,and to explore the mechanism underlying the p53 regulation though TGFβ1/Smads pathway by using the tissue culture model.Methods Twenty-five skin samples from the lesions of patients with AK were cultured,and divided into 5 groups to be treated with TGFβ1 of 10 μg/L for 24 and 48 hours,the tran sforming growth factor (TGF) β1 receptor kinase inhibitor SB431542 of 10 μmol/L for 24 and 48 hours,respectively,or remain untreated.Real time PCR and Western blot were performed to quantify the mRNA expression of p53 and protein expression of p53 and phosphorylated Smad2 in these tissue specimens respectively.Results A significant elevation was observed in the expressions of p53 mRNA ( 13.4968 ± 0.9903 vs.1,P ＜ 0.05) and phosphorylated Smad2 (0.700 ± 0.023 vs.1,P ＜ 0.05) in AK tissues after treatment with TGFβ1 for 24 hours,and in the expressions of p53 mRNA (13.3882 ± 1.6772 vs.1,P ＜ 0.05) and protein (1.009 ± 0.001 vs.0.512 ± 0.005,P ＜ 0.05) after treatment with TGFβ1 for 48 hours,compared with the untreated AK tissues.No significant differences were observed in the expression of p53 protein between the AK tissues treated with TGFβ1 for 24 hours and 48 hours (P ＞ 0.05).SB431542 induced a statistical reduction in the level of phosphorylated Smad2 at 48 hours (0.116 ± 0.003 vs.0.306 ± 0.023,P ＜ 0.05),but no significant changes were observed in the expression of p53 mRNA or protein after SB431542 treatment for 24 or 48 hours.Conclusions AK tissue cultures can serve as a model for the study of interference in signal transduction pathway.TGFβ1 might regulate the expression of p53 protien through Smads pathway in AK.

Objective To detect the expression and content of decorin in fibroblasts of keloid to deeply reveal the mechenism and the role of decorin plays in scar formation.Methods Fibroblasts of keloid,normal scar and normal skin were cultured in vitro,and the morphology,activity,apoptosis of fibroblast were observed under light microscope and electron microscope; the mRNAs of decorin and TGF-β1 were detected and analyzed with real-time fluorescent quantitative-PCR (FQ-PCR).Results Fibroblasts of keloid showed irregular morphology,larger size and disorder arrangement.There were a large number of mitochondria,swelling rough endoplasmic reticulum,and euchromatin-rich in nucleus of fibroblasts,suggesting the protein synthesis of keloid fibroblast was very active.Compared with normal skin,the expression of decorin was significantly lower in keloid fibroblast; On the contrary,the expression of TGF-β1 was significantly higher in keloid fibroblast than in normal scar and normal skin.Conclusions Compared with normal skin,the expression of decorin in keloid fibroblast is significantly lower.Lower content of decorin in early stage of wound healing may induce weakly suppression of proliferation and synthesis of fibroblast,and up-regulate the activity of TGF-β1,which promotes the proliferation,migration and excessive collagen synthesis of the fibroblast of keloid.Thus,decorinis an suppressor factor of keloid formation.

Purpose To study the effects of different doses of ultrasound contrast agent SonoVue upon contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the kidney of healthy rabbits, and to seek the optimal dose of SonoVue. Materials and Methods CEUS was performed in 10 healthy rabbits with GE LOGIQ-E9 by using 8 different doses of SonoVue (ranging from 0.02 ml/kg to 0.16 ml/kg). The quantitative parameters of the time-intensity curve (TIC) were measured and statistically compared. Results The TICs showed that the peak intensity (PI) and the area under curve (AUC) increased with dose when the doses ranged from 0.02 ml/kg to 0.10 ml/kg (r=0.962 and 0.965, P<0.05); when the dose further increased, AUC had little change but PI decreased reversely. The arrival time (AT) shortened along with the increase of the SonoVue dose (r= - 0.917, P<0.05). The dose had a positive correlation with time to peak (r=0.49, P<0.05). Conclusion The parameters of TIC are influenced intensely by different doses of SonoVue. It is important to realize the relationship between SonoVue doses and its effects upon contrast-enhancement ultrasound in microcirculatory quantification. The dose of 0.10 ml/kg appears to be the optimal dose for CEUS in examining kidney of healthy rabbit.
