Objective To analyze the reason of necrosis for pedunculated skin flaps repaired after floor of the mouth defect repair.Methods 56 cases of pedunclated-flaps restoring the floor of the mouth from 1996 to 2001 were reviewed, and pedunclated-flap repair was performed after operation in 11 cases suffering from malignant tumors in the floor of the mouth, and 5 kinds of pedunculated flaps were compared.Results Five kinds of pedunculated flaps were used to reconstruct the floor of the mouth defects. Its successful sequence was as following: forehead flap, pectoralis major myocutaneous flap, sternocleidomastoid flaps,trapezius myocutaneous flaps, and subhyoid flap.Conclusions Causes of those flaps necrosis might relate to furnishing blood with supplied-flaps region and structure of anatomy in received-flaps region, also it is related to operater's skill.So the reason of repair failure of skin flaps with pedicle needs comprehensive analysis.

Objective To assess the long-term efficacy and safety of mid-dosage (13～15 mg?kg-1?g-1) ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) treatment for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Methods A systematic review of all randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing UDCA with placebo was performed. Results Seven trials including 1038 patients were assessed. UDCA could significantly improve liver biochemistry, but had no effect on pruritus and fatigue. In the patients with initial stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, there was a significant decrease in the histologic progression after treatment with UDCA for 2 years compared with the placcebo group(P=0.03), but there was no significant difference between the two groups when considering overall patients with initial stage Ⅰ-Ⅳ (P=0.08). Meta-analysis showed no significant difference in the incidence of death (odds ratio 0.99, 95% confidence interval 0.62-1.58), liver related death (1.05, 0.53-2.05), liver trans-plantation (0.87, 0.53-1.41), death and/or liver transplantation (0.92, 0.64-1.31) and liver decompensation (0.94, 0.60-1.49) between the UDCA and placebo groups. Conclusions The analysis of RCTs of UDCA versus placebo shows improvement of liver biochemistry, but not improvement of clinical symptoms and survival. UDCA may slow down liver histologic progression in the early-stage patients with PBC.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the serum IgE with various postmortem intervals (PMI) in guinea pigs due to sudden death from anaphylactic shock and to explore the effect of refrigeration of corpse on serum IgE level and its application value in forensic medicine. METHODS: The animal death models of anaphylactic shock were established. The corpses were preserved at room temperature (20 °C ) for 6 h and then refrigerated at 4 °C. The serum was sampled at 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours after death. The IgE level of serum was detected with ELISA. The control group was also established. RESULTS: The serum IgE level had significant. difference between the experimental group and the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference among the experimental groups at 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post- mortem (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION If the corpses were placed in 4 °C conditions 6 hours after anaphylactic death, the serum IgE still shows a good marker within 48 h for forensic investigation.

Aim To investigate the up-regulation of miR-22 through Wnt pathway inhibits the proliferation,migration and invasion in human gastric MGC803 cells induced by diallyl disulfide(DADS).Methods The effects of proliferation,migration,and invasion of gastric cancer cells were evaluated by MTT,wound-healing and invasion assays.Online prediction software was applied to search the target gene of miR-22.Luciferase report gene assay was used to assess the target genes Wnt-1 of miR-22.The expressions of Wnt-1,β-catenin and TCF-4 were tested by qRT-PCR and Western blot,respectively.Results MTT showed that DADS and miR-22 notably decreased the proliferation compared with control group(P<0.05).Wound-healing assay showed that DADS and miR-22 could significantly inhibit the migration of MGC803 cells compared with the control group, especially in miR-22+DADS(P<0.05). Invasion assay showed that DADS and miR-22 could markedly inhibit the invasion of MGC803 cells compared with the control group, especially in miR-22+DADS(P<0.05). Online prediction software to search the target gene exhibited that Wnt-1 may be a target gene of miR-22. Luciferase report gene assay disclosed that Wnt-1 was identified as a direct target of miR-22. Qrt-PCR showed that the expression of Wnt-1 Mrna was respectively down-regulated by DADS and miR-22 compared withcontrol group, especially in miR-22+DADS(P<0.05). Western blot exhibited that DADS and miR-22 obviously suppressed the expressions of Wnt-1, β-catenin and TCF-4 proteins, especially in miR-22+DADS(P<0.05).Conclusion Up-regulation of miR-22 through Wnt pathway can remarkably suppress the proliferation, migration and invasion in MGC803 cells by DADS.

With new acupuncture and moxibustion as the study object, based on the basic composition of acupuncture-moxibustion theory, from 3 aspects of meridian-acupoint theory, acupuncture-moxibustion method theory and acupuncture-moxibustion treatment theory, under the background of western medicine, ZHU Lian's different opinions on theory and method of acupuncture and moxibustion were discussed. It was believed by ZHU Lian that the distribution of 14-meridians was approximately identical to that of nerves, so with modern neuroanatomy knowledge to understand the meaning of acupoint; the acupuncture function could be explained from the angle of neurophysiology. Clinical diagnosis and treatment method could be established by modern classification methods of diseases. ZHU Lian's cognition that was different from traditional theory and method of acupuncture and moxibustion was combined with updated physiology and anatomy knowledge at that time, and was involved with Pavlov's advanced nerve theory, so she firstly put forward the opinion that acupuncture therapy can't work without the involvement of cerebral cortex.

Objective To discuss the national standard method of"General Test Method in Salt IndustryDetermination of Iodine Ion"and point OUt an incorrect concentration of sodium hypochlorite(NaClO)solution which is not matched with the concentration of oxalic acid solution being used in the national standard method.Methods The iodine ion in the reference salt was determined step by step as stipulated in the method.During the test,the concentration of the NaClO solution was altered from 5.0%to 0.1%in order to screen the suitable ranges of the concentration of NaClO solution.Results 5.0%NaClO solution was used according to the national standard method,which led to a significant deviation up to 700 ms/kg.The relative errors of the standard iodized salt determination were respectively 2312.0%,185.0%,4.0%,3.3%,-0.6%,-3.0%,-3.3%with different concentration NaClO(5.0%,3.0%,2.5%,1.0%,0.3%,0.2%,0.1%).Conclusion Under the circumstance that the concentration of the oxalic acid solution remains the same.the concentration of NaClO solution must be revised into 0.3%～2.5%in the national standard method to decrease testing errors.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of platelet-rich plasma in treatment of DeepⅡburn wounds. Methods Sixty eight cases of inpatients with Deep Ⅱburns were selected, whose age were from 1 to 65 years and their burn areas were between 5%~62%of total body surface area (TBSA). Deep gradeⅡburn of each sample was divided into two parts. Part A was the treatment group and part B was the control group.The burn wounds in the treatment group were treated with platelet-rich plasma and the counterpart in the control group were treated with SD-Ag. Healing time ,recovering rate and the frequency of dressing changes,frequency of changing the most innerlayer gauze and the rate of wound infection were also analyzed. Finally the laboratory abnormalities and adverse effect were monitored regularly. Results The healing time of the treatment group (16.5±3.1 ) d was shorter than that of the control group (19.5±3.8 ) d. The recovering rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group on the 14th and 17th day after treatment. There were statistically sig?nificant differences between these two groups (P<0.05). After two weeks’treatment, the internal and external dressing per?meability into wet gauze layers were 20.6 ± 1.7, which were significantly decreased than that in the control group 23.3 ± 5.9. The frequency of dressing changes was(7.2±1.1)times in treatment group versus(9.2±1.4)times in control group and the frequency of changing the inner most layer gauze was( 2.3±0.6)times in the treatment group versus(5.3±1.3)times in con?trol group. There were 5 inflammation reaction cases in the treatment group, but 13 cases in the control group. However, there was no statistic significance between the two group in the outcomes of bacterial culture, the laboratory abnormalities and the adverse effect. Conclusion Platelet-rich plasma can remarkably shorten the healing time,improve healing rate,re?duce frequency of dressing change and promote wound healing for deepⅡburn wound. PRP is a potential safety reagent in treating deepⅡburn wound.
