To treat hallux valgus, minimally invasive osteotomy on 1st metatarsal neck,immobilization with "8-shape" bandagev was performed, and the effect was definited. The principles of osteotomy stability were analyzed from the osteotomy position, methods, direction and angle. The grinding drill was used to increase friction coefficient between the ends of osteotomy. Correct direction of osteotomy and suitable angle were the key point of stability. The immobilization with "8-shape" bandage complied with the principle of elastic fixation created the conditions for the slight movement of the osteotomy ends. Compared with internal fixation ,it was better on osteotomy healing,and the osteotomy ends were stable and healed with cartilage

The expression of the cytokines IL-2, IL-10, TNF-alpha and their roles in mice with herpes simplex viral encephalitis (HSE) were studied. By using semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the expressions of IL-2, IL-10 and TNF-alpha mRNA in control group, HSE group and acyclovir (ACV)-treated group were detected and the pathological changes of brain were observed. It was found that after HSV1 infection, the cerebral lesions of haemorrhage and necrosis in mice were observed under the microscopy, and the levels of IL-2, IL-10 and TNF-alpha were increased remarkably. After treatment with ACV after HSV1 infection, the cerebral lesions in mice were improved, the level of IL-2 maintained stable, IL-10 was increased consistently, and TNF-alpha was decreased significantly as compared with those in HSE group. In acute HSE, many cytokines are upregulated, including IL-2, IL-10 and TNF-alpha to eliminate virus and TH1 type response is dominant. In convalescence, there is a shift in the cytokine expression profile from TH1 profile to TH2 profile and the shift can inhibit the overexpression of immune response in animals. ACV has remarkable effects in the treatment of HSE.

BACKGROUND: Microglial cells are prominently involved in certain neurologic diseases such as Parkinson disease and Alzeheimer disease. In vitro primary culture is commonly used in studies on the functions of microglia.However, these classical culture methods have some defects including complex procedures and low out-put.OBJECTIVE: To establish a simplified high-output primary culture of microglia.DESIGN: An explorative experiment with microglial cells as the single sample.SETTING: Department of Neurology, Affiliated Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: The study was finished at the Central Laboratory of Union Hospital from April to October 2004. Microglial cells were obtained from 10 newborn(one day) male Kunming mice that were selected.METHODS: The author' s culture method was based on McCarthy method, we developed a new culture method and made some improvements,including the increased cell density for primary culture and nutritional deprivation. The microlglial cells were isolated with low-concentration trypsin-EDTA(ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) digestion and immunochemically labeled with MAC-1 antibody, so as to measure the output and purity of microglia.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Morphologic features of microglial cells, observed with inverted microscope; ② Purity and activity of microglia cultured with these two methods, were measured immunohistochemically.RESULTS: For microglia cultured with McCarthy method, the culture cycle was 20 days and the output was 2 × l05 cells per flask with a purity of 95% -97%. The new method shortened the culture cycle to 15 days and the output reached 1 × 106 cells per flask with a purity of 96-98%. Cell purity and activity had no significant difference between these two culture methods.CONCLUSION: The new method has a similar purity and activity with classical method; however, it may simplify procedures, shorten cycle, and increase output, and therefore can be a useful method for studies on microglia function and for nerve repair.

Access of safe, effective, convenient and affordable medical and health care services to the people is set as the goal of public hospitals health services as stated in the "Guidelines for Public Hospitals Pilot Reform". Such a goal, however, can hardly be achieved by mechanism changes within the public hospitals. The input and output of public hospitals rely critically on such factors as the input mechanism, regional pattern of healthcare system, the economic and industrial conditions of the region,payment quota and payment approval procedures of medical insurance. This paper set off from the input compensation mechanism of public hospitals in China and analyzed the input and output characteristics of the hospitals. Furthermore, the paper proposed to establish an input compensation mechanism based on public welfare performance for such hospitals. This provided further reference for improving the management of public hospitals and building a public welfare-oriented operation mechanism of public hospitals.

Objective To study the effect of autonomic nerve activity on emotion experience.Methods 71 healthy males were asked to see a neutral film STICK and conduct a computer game,then evaluated emotion experience.All participants were recorded skip temperature,skin conduction,heart rate,LF and HF during baseline and game periods.Results (1) There was significant difference in fear experience among high,middle and low synchronous groups (2.64 ± 2.05,2.50 ± 2.01,4.46 ± 2.41; P＜ 0.01),and low synchronous group was significantly higher than high synchronous group (P ＜ 0.01).The main effects of three periods were significant in basis of three response types of autonomic nerve activity(skin conduction:F(2.68) =76.083,P＜0.01; heart rate:F(2.68) =71.692,P ＜ 0.01),and skip temperature,skin conduction and heart rate were no significant difference among three response types.Types and periods had no significant interaction.(2) Different response modes of autonomic nervous system has different distributions in high fear and low fear groups (x2 =9.763,P ＜ 0.01).Skip temperature,skin conduction and heart rate were no significant difference between high fear group and low fear group.Conclusion The modes of autonomic nervous system have an effect on intensity of fear experience,but not the same in skip temperature,skin conduction and heart rate.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of conversion from calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) to sirolimus (SRL) as major immunosuppressive therapy in lung transplant recipients.Method Retrospective analyses were conducted for the clinical data of all the patients undergoing lung transplantation in Wuxi People's Hospital between January 2011 and December 2014.Sixteen were given conversion treatment with Sirolimus in the postoperative irnmunosuppressive therapy.We analyzed the opportunity and reasons in the conversion treatment,and the safety,effectiveness and complications of the conversion treatment.Result The follow-up period was 8 to 25 months,and the median time of conversion was 6 months after operation (2-18 months).The indications of conversion concluded:malignant tumor (n =8),renal dysfunction (n =5),lymphangioleiomyomatosis (n =1) and intractable diarrhea caused by CNIs (n =2).Four cases suffered from interstitial pneumonitis associated with Sirolimus and one case suffered from spontaneous pneumothorax,and they all conversed back to CNIs.In those patients,cancer recurrence occurred in 4 cases (of them,there were 3 deaths),and 3 patients developed chronic rejection.Those recipients receiving the conversion treatment due to renal dysfunction showed recovery of renal function to some extent.Conclusion It's effective and safe to converse the immunosuppressive therapy based on Sirolimus.Sirolimus should be reduced or withdrawn when interstitial pneumonitis associated with Sirolimus occurred.

Glioma is an important cause of death in adults and children among the most common neural malignancies,with high morbidity and mortality in primary brain tumors.Despite advances in radiation and chemotherapy following surgical resection of the tumor,the median survival time of glioma remains poor.The effects of miR-21expression on tumor growth and invasion via regulating the pathways in human glioma cells,which regulate the expression of some small molecule.This review is mainly focused on the discovery of the correlation between microRNA-21 (miR-21) and glioma and the important role in the resistance of cancer cells to radiation and chemotherapeutic agents.
