Congenital anorectal malformation(CAM) is one of the most common colorectal diseases in children. Anoplasty has been the only treatment. Because of the fact that anorectal malformation is constantly complicated with congenital defect in the nerve and musculature, postoperative difficulty in defecation is common. Poor long-term quality of life of these affected children is a burden to the children, family, and society. With the advance of modern medicine, emphasizing the functional recovery after anatomical reconstruction of anorectum and conduction of individualized biofeedback training program to improve the defecatory function and long-term quality of life are the new treatment concepts and important progress. Novel methods for the prevention and treatment of CAM are still under exploration.

AIM: To establish the co-culture mode of tissue-engineered tracheal seeding cells, and compare with the routine culture, so as to provide the fundament of tissue-engineered trachea construction by cell compound materials. METHODS: The experiment was completed at the laboratory, Department of Respiratory Diseases, Tangdu Hospital, the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from May 2006 to May 2007.①Three healthy New Zealand male rabbits, weighed (250.00?0.75) g, were used in this study.②Co-culture mode: The tracheal epithelial cells and fibroblasts were isolated and then co-cultured for 7-10 days. The two kinds of cells were distinguished according to their different tolerances to trypsin. Subsequently, A hole received 0.5 g/L trypsinization, cells were suspended in DMEM medium containing 0.05 volume fraction of CO2 and then transplanted into B hole (fibroblasts); again, A hole was added with 2.5 g/L trypsin for digestion, afterwards cells were suspended with K-FSM medium and transplanted into C hole (tracheal epithelial cells). Routine culture: after isolation, tracheal epithelial cells were cultured and fibroblasts were purified, respectively.③The co-cultured cells and the traditionally cultured cells were compared via cell growth curve and cell proliferation detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazo-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. RESULTS: ①Cell growth: Co-cultured cells grew well, those in A hole increased intercellular apace after trypsinization, while cells in B hole were shaped as fusiform, without the manifestation of typical road stone-like cells, and cells in C hole were apposite, showing lamellar road stone-like morphology.②Cell growth curve: The growth curve of co-cultured cells was identical with that of cells by routine culture method.③Cell proliferation: MTT detection revealed no significant difference in the proliferation of co-cultured cells and cells cultured by traditional method (P

Objective To observe the changes in NO content and NOS activity of serum and the testis in Wistar rats with type I diabetes mellitus. Methods 63 rats were randomly divided into control group(C) and diabetes group(D). Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of Alloxan. Rats with diabetes were observed for 1 week(D 1), 2 weeks(D 2), 3 weeks(D 3), 4 weeks(D 4), 5 weeks(D 5), 6 weeks(D 6), 7 weeks(D 7) and 8 weeks(D 8), respectively, and they were sacrificed at the end of each observation period. Serum was obtained and testis homogenates were prepared, and the levels of NO content and NOS activity of them were determined respectively. Results Compared diabetes group with control group, NO contents and NOS activity of serum from diabetic rats were higher, then NOS activity began to decline to approach the control level. In the testis homogenates, NO content dropped slightly after injection of Alloxan, while NOS activity showed no significant change. Thereafter, both NO content and NOS activity of testis homogenates were increased. Conclusion There are changes in NO content and NOS activity of serum and testis of rats after diabetes are induced with Alloxan.

Objective To study the clinical effect of manipulation in the treatment of cervical vertigo due to atlantoaxial joint disorder. Methods A total of 86 patients in our hospital from year of July, 2010 to 2014, with cervical vertigo due to atlantoaxial joint disorder were divided into a control group and a treatment group randomly, with 43 patients in each group. The control group was treated by intravenous dripping of betahistine hydrochloride sodium chloride injection, while the treatment group was additionally treated by manipulation on the basis of the control group. The efficacy and symptoms changes together with average blood flow rate of LVA, RVA, BA, and the value of ADI, VBLADI, and DO were compared between the two groups after one week of the treatment. Results After the treatment, the improvement of vertigo and symptoms of the treatment group was between than the control group(t=12.655, P<0.05); the value of ADI and VBLADI decreased lower in the treatment group than the control group (t were 2.888 and 5.334 respectively, P<0.05);Vm of RVA, LVA and BA increased higher in the treatment group than the control group (t were 4.710, 3.534 and 5.335 respectively, P<0.01). Conclusions Manipulation combined with intravenous dripping of betahistine hydrochloride sodium chloride injection is effective in improving vertigo, decreasing ADI and VBLADI, and correcting atlantoaxial joint disorder.

By comparing three cultivation techniques of Astragalus mongholicus, i. e. direct seeding, furrow erectplanting and furrow flat planting, it was found that furrow flat planting is the optimum technique. Its yield onplain ground was 1. 26kg/m' and 0. 96kg/m_2 on mountainous area- Root of the plant was longer, thicker andheavier than that produced hy other cultivation techniqlles. Its input/output ratio was l s l2' 94 on plaingrounfl and l: 9. 95 on n1ollntainous area. Therefore,it can be considered as a scientifically justifiable,economically technique for the cultivation of A. mongholicus on both plain ground and mountainous regions.
