Leptin,the product of the obese gene,is a 16kDa secreted protein produced by white adipocytes.Because of its dual nature as a hormone and cytokine,leptin plays a role in regulating energy metabolism,inflam-marion,immune response,neuroendocrine and angiogenesis,and so on.The review focuses on the research and controversy of leptin's effect in osteoarthritis.

Non-receptor tyrosine kinase c-Abl has been implicated in the regulation of the cell cycle,adhesion, apoptosis and DNA damage responses.Its excessive activation is related with the development of chronic myeloid leukemia, and the relationship between c-Abl and leukemia is in depth and detailed research.In contrast to leukemia, the research between c-Abl and solid tumors is just at the early stage.This paper briefly reviews research progress of the c-Abl in solid tumors.

Objective To explore the morphology changes of spinal cord after nursing intervention on motor function repair spinal cord injuried rats. Methods 60 adult SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, experimental control group, and experimental group ( n=20 for each group) . Each group were divided into four time phase points, that is 1 day, 7 days, 30 days and 60 days after spinal cord injury (n=5). The model of L4 plane with full transection of spinal cord were made in the rats in experimental control group and exper-imental group. Normal control group were of untreated normal rats, experimental control group were given routine nursing such as urination and defecation after spinal cord injury, and experimental group were given passive movement practices and muscle massage training twice a day (10 min each time) besides regular nursing. HE staining and immunohistochemistry method were applied to observe the morphology changes of spinal cord. Results In experimental control group and experimental group there was no significant changes in HE staning and NF-200 and GFAP immunohistchemistry staning in spinal cord section of rat at each time phase points, but compared to the normal control group, it was of significant difference. Conclusion There is no apparent change in morphology in injured spinal area after nursing intervention.

Objective To explore the effect of nursing intervention on degree of motor function recovery after spinal cord injury in rats. Methods 60 rats were randomly divided into three groups with 20 rats in each group. Group A was the control group,group B was the rou-tine nursing group,and group C was the nursing intervention group which was given nursing intervention such as muscle pressure,joint passive movement,and skin care. The ethology was evaluated by BBB score and inclined-plane score at different time points after spinal cord injury. Myoelectricity and wet weight of gastrocnemius muscle were observed at different time points after spinal cord injury through multi-channel physiological signal acquisition system and electronic weighing scales. Results BBB score and inclined-plane score were basically the same. Compared with group B,hind limb function of group C was significantly improved,but it was obviously lower than the control group. Amplitude of gastrocnemius myoelectrical fibrillation in group C was higher than that in group B and gastrocnemius muscle wet weight decrease in group C was lower than that in group B. Conclusion Nursing intervention can delay the speed of gastrocnemius muscle atrophy,improve motor function,and promote the recovery of partial function after the spinal cord injury in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of informational support on disease uncertainty in liver cancer patients undergoing interventional therapy. Methods Sixty patients of liver cancer patients undergoing interventional therapy were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group with 30 in each.The control group was treated with general treatment and care. The patients in the intervention group were given general treatment and care with a series of informational support interventions. Patients in the two groups were measured by uncertainty in illness scale (MUIS) at the day of admission,before operations and discharged from hospital. The measurement results were statistically analyzed. Results There was significant decrease about disease uncertainty scores both on the day before operation and the day before discharge in the intervention group compared to the day of admission. The decreasing score of uncertainty in illness in the intervention group was significantly greater than the control group on the day before operation and the day before discharge. Conclusions A series of informational support interventions could significantly reduce the diseases uncertainty in liver cancer patients undergoing interventional therapy.

Objective　To study the radiographic findings in the diagnosis of pulmonary lymphoma and pseudolymphoma. Methods　Eight patients with pulmonary lymphoma and 2 with pseudolymphoma were examined by X-ray film, tomography, and CT. Results　Single or multiple nodules or masses were observed in 8 patients with pulmonary lymphoma, shaggy borders or halo of ground-glass attenuation in 7 patients, 2 patients had multiple patchy infiltrates bilaterally, 2 had diffuse interstitial infiltrates and 1 had miliary nodules. Multiple consolidations with air bronchogram and without hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy were observed in 2 patients with pulmonary pseudolymphoma. Conclusion　Radiographic findings of pulmonary lymphoma were varied, the most common findings were the nodules or masses with shaggy borders or halo of ground-glass attenuation. The specific findings of pulmonary pseudolymphoma were multiple consolidations with air bronchogram and without hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The final diagnosis relied on pathology.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effects of 768 coblation treatment in children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. METHOD: A review of 768 coblation treatment in children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome was presented with respect to the sleep monitoring results, therapeutic effects and complications. RESULT: The time of pseudomembrane ablate was 10-14 d after operation. There were 11 patients occurred Secondarily bleeding within 1 week and 21 patients lymphatic tissue hyperplasia compensatorily within half a year after operation. After operation 3 months, the sleep Monitoring results were improved remarkably (P < 0.01) and the symptoms of snore and choke improved. CONCLUSION Coblation treatment in children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome can reduce bleeding volume and improve obstruct syndrome apparently. The treatments of tonsils and adenoids differ with the characteristics of children and tympanotomy was fit for chil dren with secretory otitis media.

Objective To explore the variation of serum galectin-3 and its correlation with ventricular remodeling in children with chronic cardiac failure (CHF). Methods Forty-ifve children with CHF were included and divided into cardiac function II group (n=10 ), III group (n=18 ), and IV group (n=17 ) according to the severity of CHF. The subjects were also divided into endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) group (n=21 ) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) group (n=24 ) according to primary disease. Thirty health children were included as control group. The level of serum galectin-3 was detected by ELISA. The level of serum NT-pro BNP was measured by radio immunoassay. The index of ventricular remodeling was detected by ultrasonic cardiogram. The correlation of the level of serum galectin-3 with ventricular remodeling and the level of serum NT-pro BNP were analyzed. Results In 45 children ( 19 males and 26 females) with CHF, the mean age was 3 . 42 ± 1 . 89 years. The levels of serum galectin-3 and NT-pro BNP were higher in cardiac function II group, III group, and IV group than those in control group (all P?0 . 05 ). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the level of serum galectin-3 was positively correlated with the left ventricular end diastolic diameter, the left ventricular mass, the left ventricular mass fraction, and the level of serum NT-pro BNP (all P?

Objective:Through the cases retrospective study, to analyze the correlation between the adjacent endodontic teeth and the retrograde implantitis. Methods: 32 patients were selected and there were 39 implants (ITI 28,MDIC 11), which adjacent teeth had received endodontic therapy. Record the time from endodontic therapy and the distance of the apex of implants to the adjacent tooth by X-ray photograph. Results: There were 10 implants with retrograde peri-implantitis of 39 implants. In 8 implants, their adjacent teeth received root canal therapy within 3 months(P
