Objective To investigate the surgical approach for adult patients with presacral cystic teratoma.Methods In this study,16 female patients,aged at 26-45 years,with presacral cystic teratoma underwent surgical resection between March 2007 and August 2012.Tumor was primary in 9 cases and recurrent in 7 cases,Rectal examination revealed retrorectal tough semi-circular poorly movable massess with intact rectal mucosa.MR examination showed cystic or solid mass in the anterior sacral,clear boundary,rectum and or vagina compressed.Tumors were completely removed in all cases.Results All patients were cured by surgery,13 cases were cured by one stage resection and 1 was cured by two stage resection.Two cases suffered from recurrence and was cured by reoperation.There were no injury to rectum,anal sphincter,cauda equina,presacral vein.Pathological diagnosis was cystic teratoma.Conclusions By sacrococcygeal surgical resection of presacral cystic teratoma was safe and effective ; complete resection of the tumor capsule is the key to successful operation.

AIM: To study the infiltration of polymorphonuclear neutrophils ( PMNs ) after conjunctival flap covering in alkali-burned cornea.
●METHODS: Rabbit cornea alkali-burned model was made, then 50 rabbits were randomly divided into the experimental group ( n=25 ) and the control group ( n=25 ) . At the same time the surgery of conjunctival flap covering was given to rabbits of the experimental group. The condition developing of alkali-burned cornea was observed by slit lamp biomicroscopy, and took photos in two groups. The infiltration of PMNs was identified by hematoxylin eosin ( HE) staining in different periods.
●RESULTS:The quantity of PMNs increased on the 3d, reached the lower level on 7d, shown a peak on the 14d, then decreased gradually. PMNs level of the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the difference of 3, 14 and 21d was significant (P<0. 05).
●CONCLUSION: During the wound healing process, alkali - burned cornea has close relation with the infiltration of PMNs. The treatment of conjunctival flap covering for the severe alkali-burned cornea was found to have good effect.

Objective:To explore the early evaluation value of calprotectin (S100A8/A9) and ischemia modified albumin (IMA) for adult acute appendicitis (AA) and adult non-simple acute appendicitis.Methods:The data of 62 patients with histologically confirmed appendicitis and 57 healthy controls in the physical examination center of our hospital during the same period from May 2018 to October 2019 were collected. According to postoperative pathological data, patients with appendicitis were divided into the simple appendicitis group and the non-simple appendicitis group . The measurement data conforming to normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (Mean±SD), and Student's t test was used for comparison between groups. S100A8/A9, IMA, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and blood routine parameters were compared after grouping.The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the early efficacy of S100A8/A9 and IMA for acute appendicitis and non-simple acute appendicitis. Results:There were no significant differences in sex, age, platelet count (PLT), and red blood cell count (RBC) between the appendicitis group and healthy control (all P>0.05), while white blood cell count (WBC), CRP, PCT, neutrophils to lymphocytes ratio (NLR), S100A8/A9, and IMA levels in the appendicitis group were higher than those in healthy control (all P<0.05). The AUC of S100A8/A9 (≥366.9 μg/L), IMA (≥0.29), and S100A8/A9 combined with IMA in predicting acute appendicitis were 0.735, 0.891, and 0.913, respectively. There was no significant difference in WBC between the non-simple appendicitis group (21 cases) and the simple appendicitis group (41 cases) ( P>0.05).The levels of CRP, PCT, NLR, S100A8/A9 and IMA in the non-simple appendicitis group were significantly higher than those in the simple appendicitis group ( P<0.05). The AUC of S100A8/A9 (≥532.9 μg /L), IMA (≥0.41) and S100A8/A9 combined with IMA in predicting non-simple acute appendicitis were 0.866, 0.873 and 0.936, respectively. Conclusions:S100A8/A9 and IMA could be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis of AA, which have certain clinical value for the assessment of acute appendicitis and non-simple acute appendicitis.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical application of mandibular-driven simultaneous maxillo-mandihular distraction to correct hemifacial microsomia with rapid prototyping technology.

METHODSThe patient' s skull resin model was manufactured with rapid prototyping technology. The osteotomy was designed on skull resin model. According to the preoperative design, the patients underwent Le Fort I osteotomy and mandibular ramus osteotomy. The internal mandible distractor was embedded onto the osteotomy position. The occlusal titanium pin was implanted. Distraction were carried out by mandibular-driven simultaneous maxillo-mandihular distraction 5 days after operation.

RESULTSThe distraction in five patients was complete as designed. No infection and dysosteogenesis happened. The longest distance of distraction was 28 mm, and the shortest distance was 16 mm. The facial asymmetry deformity was significantly improved at the end of distraction. The ocelusal plane of patients obviously improved.

CONCLUSIONSRapid prototyping technology is helpful to design precisely osteotomy before operation. Mandibular-driven simultaneous maxillo-mandibular distraction can correct hemifacial microsomia. It is worth to clinical application.

Objective To measure the temperature sensation threshold of trunk skin in healthy adults. Methods The threshold of cold sensation, warm sensation, cold pain sensation and heat pain sensation of trunk skin key points (T3, T7 and T11) were measured with Thermal Sensory Analyzer in 123 healthy adults. Results The thresholds of cold, warm, cold pain and heat pain sensations were obtained. The standard deviation of cold and warm threshold was less than that of heat pain. The range of cold sensation threshold was the largest. The heat pain sensation threshold increased with segmental declining and the sensation threshold increased with age. Conclusion Normal reference value should be established variously with the segment and age. The threshold of cold, warm varies less, while the threshold of cold pain and heat pain varies too much.

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical significance of nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP 22) in the detection of bladder transitional cell carcinoma (BTCC) and compare with voided urine cytology(VUC). Methods: A total of 69 cases with voided urine samples for NMP 22 and VUC test were included in this study. Thirty of them were BTCC patients(BTCC group) and twenty nine suffered from other urological diseases (nonbladder cancer group, NBC group). Ten were healthy volunteers (control group). Results: The NMP 22 values for BTCC group (67.3 U/ml) were significantly higher than that of NBC group(7.4 U/ml) and control group (4.3 U/ml)( P 0.05). NMP 22 was more sensitive than VUC in low grade BTCC(Ⅰ,Ⅱ)(62.50% vs 12.50%,P 0.05). Conclusions:Urinary NMP 22 is a useful marker for the early diagnosis of BTCC. It is more sensitive than VUC in low stage and grade BTCC.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of fluoroquinolone resistance in clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecium. Methods The MICs of six fluoroquinolones(norfloxacin,ciprofloxacin,ofloxacin,levofloxacin,gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin) against 35 clinical isolates of E.faecium from eight hospitals in Tianjin were determined by agar dilution method in the absence or presence of multidrug resistance efflux pump inhibitor reserpine.The quinolone-resistance determining region(QRDR)of parC and gyrA were amplified and sequenced.Results No less than twofold decrease in MIC values of the six fluoroquinolones in the presence of reserpine was observed in 35,29,1,0,6 and 2 of the 35 strains of E.faecium respectively.One fluoro- quinolone-susceptible isolate and five fluoroquinolone-resistant isolates were selected randomly to analyze the QRDR of parC and gyrA.All five fluoroquinolone-resistant isolates had single amino acid alteration in both GyrA and ParC.Ser-80 in ParC was substituted by lie(4 isolates)or Arg(1 isolates).Glu-87 in GyrA was replaced by Lys(2 isolates)or Gly(2 isolates). The other one had an Ser-83-to-Ile substitution.The one fluoroquinolone-suseeptible isolate had no alteration in the QRDR of either ParC or GyrA.Conclusions Both target alteration and active efflux are responsible for the resistance to fluoroquinolone in clinical isolates of E.faecium.

Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effect of adenovirus-mediated VEGF-siRNA on transplanted osteo- sarcoma in nude mice.Methods: VEGF-siRNA gene was cloned into the genome of replication-deficient adenovirus to construct Ad-VEGF-siRNA;the latter was then used to infect osteosarcoma MG63 cell line in vitro;and the expression of VEGF gene was detected by RT-PCR.Osteosarcoma transplantation model was established in nude mice;VEGF expression in tumor tissue was analyzed and the inhibitory effect on tumor growth and lung metastasis were also observed.Results: The recombinant adenovirus vector Ad-VEGF-siRNA was successfully constructed.In vivo and in vitro experiment both showed that Ad-VEGF-siRNA significantly downregulated VEGF expression in MG63 cells and transplanted tumor tissue. It was found that Ad-VEGF-siRNA significantly inhibited transplanted osteosarcoma growth(P
