Small intestinal submucosa has been applied in a variety of areas of basic and clinical study with its Characteristics of anti-infective and Low immunogenicity and so on.However,it is common to find the shrinkage and other problems in some tissue repair,and affects the functional recovery of repaired tissue to a certain extent.Thus,it is still a question to be resolved that how to avoid the shrinkage and other adverse effects after tissue repair.This paper provides a reliable basis for further correct understanding of the SIS's capacity of tissue repair by reviewing and summarying its characteristics and present situation of tissue repair,especially put forwarding the shrinkage problem.

The remodeling and reparative process post myocardial infarction (MI) can be divided into three phases:the inflammatory phase,the proliferative phase and the stable phase.The inflammatory immune response plays an important part in the process of cardiac remodeling.First of all,the initiation of inflammatory response relies on the activation of innate immunity with a group of pro-inflammatory cytokines,chemokines and adhesion molecules.These molecules lead to the infiltration of the infarct area with neutrophils and mononuclear cells,further clearing the wound from dead cardiomyocytes and matrix debris.After resolution of inflammatory response,reparative cells and cytokines infiltrate into the heart and promote the differentiation and growth of myofibroblasts and endothelial cells,contributing to wound contraction as well as producing fiber tissue to form a scar.Moreover,overactive immune responses could accentuate infarct injury and dilative remodeling while deficiency of inflammation leads to insufficient repair,which highlights the dual function of the immune response in myocardial injury and repair post MI.Also the intense immune response along with fibrosis in non-infarct area is also closely associated with adverse remodeling.Thus,targeting specific factors in the inflammatory reaction may hold promise in patients with MI.

Objective To evaluate the influence of tracheal intubation guided with light wand on hemodynamics in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.Methods Seventy-four patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome were randomly divided into light wand group (n =37) and laryngoscope group (n =37).The time to successful intubation,rate of successful intubation,changes of heart rate (HR),systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and complications were compared in two groups.Results The time to successful intubation of light wand group was significantly shorter than that of laryngoscope group,while the rate of successful intubation in light wand group was significantly higher than that in laryngoscope group (P＜0.05).The HR,SBP and DBP at T1 were significantly lower than those at T0 in two groups (P＜0.05).The HR,SBP and DBP in two groups at T2,T3 were significantly higher than those at T1 (P＜0.05),and those indexes of light wand group were significantly lower than laryngoscope group at T2 and T3 (P＜0.05).The incidence rates of complications in light wand group were significantly lower than those in laryngoscope group (P＜0.05).Conclusion With the advantage of higher success rate,shorter time to successful intubation,more stable hemodynamics and fewer complications,tracheal intubation guided with light wand is worthy of popularization and application in clinical.

Objective The oligomeric and polymeric proanthocyanidins in different fractions from Hippophae rhamnoides seeds were investigated. Methods The monomeric and oligomeric fractions were analyzed by HPLC/ESI-MASS detection. The polymeric proanthocyanidins were fractionated by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and their chemical constructures were studied by acid-catalysed degradation in the presence of benzyl mercaptan. Results Four monomers were identified as catechin, epicatechin, gallocatechin, and epigallocatechin. Eight dimers including three dimeric procyanidins and one dimeric prodelphinidin, and four mixed dimers were detected and their structures were partly elucidated by the detection of the pseudomolecular ion and main ion fragmentations. The results also showed that polymers to be highly heterogenous with catechin, epicatechin, gallocatechin, and epigallocatechin all being components of both the extension and the terminal units. The extension units were mainly gallocatechin, whereas the terminal units were mainly gallocatechin and epigallocatechin for all fractions. The proanthocyanidins with a mean degree of polymerization (mDP) of 9.1, 13.2 and 17.0 represented the three major polymeric fractions. Conclusion Proanthocyanidins of H. rhamnoides seeds, predominantly being of prodelphinidin-type, are remarkably different from that of grape seeds.

It provides a new approach to treat myelodysplastic syndromes when decitabine comes out.In order to improve the understanding of the role of decitabine and to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of middle-risk and high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes,this article mianly summarized drug combination,prognostic molecular markers,and reviewed the mechanism of action,main medication regimen in recent 5 years for the treatment of middle-risk and high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes with decitabine.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum levels of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG),free testosterone index (FTI) and insulin resistance; and to investigate the relationship among them and prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDP) in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) women during pregnancy. Methods Serum samples of 32 PCOS women and 32 non-PCOS women were collected during their gestational age from 12 to16 weeks.Serum levels of total testosterone,SHBG and insulin were detected.Free testosterone index (FTI) and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were calculated.Risk factors of GDM and HDP were analyzed by stepwise logistic regression.Data of two groups were compared with t test or Chi square test. Results Serum fasting insulin [(8.0±1.5) mU/L vs (7.1±1.5) mU/L,t=2.32,P＜0.05],FTI [0.96 (0.52-1.41) vs 0.61 (0.40-0.79),t=3.02,P＜0.05],HOMA-IR levels [1.53±0.32 vs 1.36±0.36,t=2.04,P＜0.05] and total testosterone [2.95 (1.61-4.40) nmol/L vs 2.15 (1.50-2.80) nmol/L,t=2.55,P＜0.05] were higher in PCOS group than in control group; and SHBG level [325 (312-355) nmol/L vs 360 (347-373) nmol/L,t=4.13,P＜0.05] was lower in PCOS group than in control group.Cesarean section rate (84％ vs 50％,x2 =8.58,P＜0.01) and HDP incidence (25％ vs 3％,x2=4.65,P＜0.05) were higher in PCOS group than in control group. SHBG level [(293 ±42) nmol/L] of PCOS women who complicated with GDM (n=6) was significantly lower than that [(333±40) nmol/L] of those who did not (n=26),t=2.22,P＜0.05.Serum total testosterone [(4.34±1.29)vs (2.49±1.44) nmol/L,t=3.23,P＜0.05] and FTI [1.42±0.52 vs 0.81±0.59,t=2.61,P＜0.05] were significantly higher in PCOS women complicated with HDP (n=8) than those of the PCOS women who did not (n=24).Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that SHBG was the risk factor of GDM (OR=0.98,95％CI:0.96～1.00,P＜0.05); FTI was the risk factor of HDP in PCOS women (OR=5.53,95％CI:1.20～25.61,P＜0.05). Conclusions FTI and SHBG levels could be predictors for GDM and HDP in PCOS women during their pregnancies.

Objective To explore the impact of maximal movement on the stabilization of the four corner arthrodesis.Methods Flexion,extension,ulnar deviation and radial deviation movements were simulated on the wrists of 21 fresh cadaver fore-arm specimens.Maximal movements were performed in each of the four directions. Firstly,anteroposterior view and lateral view photos were taken before and after movement in each direction.Sec- ondly,capito-lunate angle,radio-lunate angle,captio-lunate posteroantefior angle,the height and width of the syzygium were measured before and after movement in each direction.The wrist before each kind of movement was used as the control for itself after the movement in the test.Results Compared with the control data,the differ- ences in capito-lunate angle,radio-lunate angle and the height of the syzygium were statistical significant before and after movement in the direction of flexion 40?and extension 30?(P＜0.05).Moreover,the differences in the captio-lunate posteroanterior angle and the width of the syzygium were also statistical significant before and after movement in radial deviation 15?and ulnar deviation 20?(P＜0.01).Maximal movements at other positions had little impact on the stability of the arthrodesis.Conclusion It is safe to perform high intensity movements to the four-comer syzygium when the range of motion is not beyond flexion 40?,extension 30?,ulnar deviation 20?and radial deviation 15?.Cireumduction should be avoided.
