Objective To explore the method and efficacy of treating acute abdominal disease in HIV carriers.Methods To summarize experience of performing operations on eight HIV carriers suffering acute abdominal disease in an east African country from March 1997 to May 1999.Results The eight HIV carriers received treatment by performing emergency operation and taking anti-virus medicine. Among the eight HIV carriers followed up for 6-32 months post-operatively, seven carriers have recovered well up to present, while one carrier died of AIDS after completing the operation for three months. The died HIV carrier with peritonitis conducted a abdominal drainage in the operation, after which, the carrier's CD 4 lymphocyte number was checked below 100/mm 3.Conclusions We can achieve satisfied therapeutic effects under the condition that we do not adapt a discriminate and dilatory attitude towards curing HIV carriers suffering acute abdominal disease. Furthermore, it is very important to prevent the HIV spreading during and after the operation.So medical staffs in hospital should also strengthen self-prevention from HIV.

Colorectal carcinogenesis is the result of accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alters.Gene mutations and changes in DNA methylation patterns,resulted from genomic instability,are the main molecular events in colorectal cancer.Identification of key mutations and methylation phenotypes in genes leading to colorectal cancer progression,and molecular pathology classification and diagnosis are likely to be the prerequisites for individualized and targeted treatment.

0.999. Conclusion The precision and accuration of this method can satisfy the determination of VOCs in indoor air, this method is simple, rapid and easy to be popularized also.

Objective To compare the medium-term clinical effects of oblique T-shaped volar locking compression plate (LCP) and external fixation (EF) treating type C distal radial fractures.Methods Data of 60 patients with type C distal radial fractures who underwent surgery in our hospital from May 2010 to November 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.36 patients received open reduction with LCP fixation (LCP group),among which there were 21 males and 15 females,and there were 20 left wrists and 16 right wrists with an average age of 45.94±16.29 years old (range,17-80 years old).24 patients received close reduction and external fixation (EF group),among which there were 16 males and 8 females,and there were 15 left wrists and 9 right wrists with an average age of 43.63±14.55 years old (range,16-79 years old).The clinical results of wrist joint were assessed by range of wrist activity,VAS,Gartland-Werley wrist score,postoperative radial tilt angle,radial inclination angle and radial height.Results All the 60 patients were followed up successfully.The LCP group was followed up for 24 to 55 (42.03 ± 8.62) months.The EF group was followed up for 24 to 54 (37.24±9.77) months.In the LCP group,the average VAS score was 1.28±0.78,Gartland-Werley score 2.28±0.78,wrist flexion angle 50.89°±5.53° and wrist dorsiflexion angle 50.69°±5.38°.In the EF group,the average VAS score was 1.38±0.71,Gartland-Werley score 2.92± 1.69,wrist flexion angle 50.96°±5.01° and wrist dorsiflexion angle 51.08°± 5.73°.No statistically differences were found in wrist joint function between two groups.In LCP group,radiological evaluation 2 years after operation showed that the average radial tilt angle was 10.69°±2.29,radial inclination angle 22.53°± 1.95° and radial height 10.63±1.14 mm.In the EF group,radial tilt angle was 6.63°±2.76°,radial inclination angle 16.96°±4.41° and radial height 9.06±0.98 mm.Significant differences were found in radial tilt angle,radial inclination angle and radial height.No statistically differences were found in postoperative complication rates.Conclusion Locking compression plate (LCP) fixation and external fixation (EF) can obtain similar satisfactory medium-term clinical outcome in treating type C distal radial fractures.Comparison with EF,LCP can achieve anatomic reduction under direct vision,and its radiological assessments including radial tilt angle,radial inclination angle and radial height were significantly better than external fixation.

Objective To investigate the pollution condition and concentration variability of TVOC in different time after the decoration finished. Methods 57 newly decorated houses were collected in two districts in Guiyang and TVOC monitoring was conducted for 6 months. Results At the first monitoring time, the content range of TVOC was 0.532-23.560 mg/m3 and the median was 2.573 mg/m3. The content range of high, middle and low concentration after determination was 5.520-23.560 mg/m3, 2.004-4.993 mg/m3 and 0.532-1.905 mg/m3 respectively and the median was 10.150, 2.320, 1.074 mg/m3 respectively. 147 days after the decoration the concentration decreased to 0.6 mg/m3. Conclusion The pollution of TVOC in the newly decorated houses is severe. 147 days after the decoration, the concentration of TVOC may decrease and reaches to under the standard limit.

Objective To study the biomechanics of posterior lumbar interbody fusion with unilateral fixation.Methods 15 bovine lumbers were divided into three groups(intact group,spondylolisthesis group,posterior lumbar interbody fusion with unilateral fixation group as experimental group).Nondestructive tests were performed in pure compression,flexion,extension,and lateral bending on every group.Results Compared with intact group and spondylolisthesis group,after posterior lumbar interbody fusion with unilateral fixation,the mean straining of vertebral body in experimental group increased.The value of experimental group had significant difference from spondylolisthesis group(P ＜ 0.01,P ＜0.05).And the value of experimental group was proximal to intact group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion After operation with posterior lumbar interbody fusion with unilateral fixation,the stiffness of vertebral body was approached the intact group during axis compression,flexion,extension and lateral bending.And the initial stability was enough after operation.

Methods DPOAE levels were evaluated in C57 and BALB/c of 20,30,60,90,120,150,180 days old respectively,with the conditions that two pure tones,which stimulated the DPOAE,were at frequencies(f 1,f 2,f 1/f 2=1.22)and levels(L 1=70 dB SPL,L 2=65 dB SPL).Results DPOAE levels of C57 and BALB/c gradually decreased with age.From 60 days old,DPOAE levels of the two strains were dramatically decreased at 4.0,6.0,8.0 kHz( P

Objective To investigate the efficacy of repairing finger nail bed defects by split-thickness nail bed grafts in one stage, and evaluate the functional recovery of nail beds comprehensively. Methods From February 2000 to December 2003, 33 fingers with nail bed defect in 26 patients (7 thumbs, 13 index fingers, 9 middle fingers, 4 ring fingers) were repaired with middle thickness grafts of nail bed harvested from the residual nail beds of the same fingers or from nail beds of 1st, 2nd and 3rd toes. Brachial plexus block or regional anesthesia was used. When the area of nail bed defect area was less than one third of the nail, the graft was taken from the same finger under rubber tourniquet. In condition of the area of nail bed defect larger than one third of the nail beyond nail plica or two nail bed defects, the grafts were taken from the nail beds of 1st, 2nd and 3rd toes. Results In the study, there were 23 fingers (18 patients) with the nail bed defects area more than 5 mm and less than one third of the nail repaired with the grafts of the same finger nail; there were 10 fingers (8 patients) with the nail bed defects more than one third of the nail beyond the nail plica or two nail bed defects transplanted with toe nail bed. All patients were followed up from 6 months to 30 months with an average of 17 months, all grafts survived very well. No pain, no infection and obvious deformed growth of nail were found, and a sound recovery was obtained in all patients. Excellent and good rates were 87.9% in 23 patients with 29 fingers; poor rate was 12.1% in 3 patients with 4 fingers according to the criteria by L? Gui-xin. Conclusion The transplantation of middle split-thickness nail bed to repair nail bed defect is simple and easy to operate. The grafted nail can grow in good appearance, and the deformation rate is lower.
