Objective To investigate the effect of exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) on H2 S concentration and cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) expression in hippocampus in a rat model of vascular dementia (VaD). Methods A rat model of VaD was induced by using the modified four -vessel occlusion. The rats were divided into sham operation, model, low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups using the random number table method. They were further redivided into one day, seven -day, and 30-day subgroups according to the time after modeling. After modeling respectively, NaHS 30 μmol/kg and 100 μmol/kg were injected intraperitoneally every day in the low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups. The normal saline was injected intraperitoneally every day in the sham operation group and the VaD model group. Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the learning and memory ability of the rats. The expression of CBS in hippocampus was detected by real-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction. Western Blotting was used to detect expression of CBS protein in hippocampus. Results Morris water maze test showed that the escape latencies of the model group, low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups were prolonged significantly compared with the sham operation group (P <0.05); the times of crossing the platform were decreased significantly compared with the model group (P <0.05); and the escape latencies were shortened significantly in the low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups compared with the model group ( P <0.05). The H2 S content in hippocampus was decreased significantly in the model group, low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups compared with the sham operation group, but the low -dose and high-dose NaHS group was significantly higher than that in the model group (all P <0.05). The expression of CBS mRNA and protein in the model, low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups was significantly lower than that of the sham operation group (all P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference between the low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups and the model group. Conclusions Exogenous H2 S may improve the learning and memory ability of the VaD rats. It may be associated with the increased H2 S content in hippocampus. However, it has no effect on CBS expression.

OBJECTIVETo compare anatomical differences between subinguinal and ilioinguinal approaches for the treatment of acetabular fracture and investigate clinical therapeutic effect of subinguinal approach.
METHODSSeven fresh human bodies were chosen, comparative study were performed on the right and left side on the same specimen. Ilioinguinal approaches were adopted on the left and subinguinal were adopted on the right. Inner part of incision started to sun wild above pubic symphysis at 2 cm, and lateral incision ranged from iliac to anterior superior spine about 5 cm. Length and transverse diameter of the first window exposed and lliopsoas freeness were tested and compared. Fifteen acetabular fracture patients treated through subinguinal approach were compared from May 2010 to August 2012. Among all patients, including 12 males and 3 females aged from 20 to 65 years old with an average of 40.6 years old. Matta criteria were used to evaluate clinical outcomes.
RESULTSLength and transverse diameter of the first window exposed and lliopsoas freeness through subinguinal approach were better than through ilioinguinal approach (P<0.01). In 15 patients with acetabular fracture, 10 patients obtained anatomical reduction and 10 patients got satisfied reduction in accordance with Matta criteria. X-ray results of all patients were excellent.
CONCLUSIONCompared with ilioinguinal approach, subinguinal approach could enlarge visualization of the first window and simplify surgical procedure. It is an ideal approach to expose anterior and anterior-medialis wall of acetabulum and anterior hip capsule.

The effects of dietary supplementation with Clostridium butyricum on growth performance and humoral immune response in Miichthys miiuy were evaluated. One hundred and fifty Miichthys miiuy weighing approximately 200-260 g were divided into five groups and reared in 15 tanks with closed circuiting culture system. The animals were fed 5 diets: basal diet only (control) or supplemented of the basal diet with C. butyricum at doses of 10(3) (CB1), 10(5) (CB2), 10(7) (CB3) or 10(9) (CB4) CFU/g. Compared with the control, the serum phenoloxidase activity was significantly increased by the supplementation (P<0.05), acid phosphatases activity was increased significantly (P<0.05) at the doses of 10(9) CFU/g. Serum lysozyme activity peaked at dose of 10(7) CFU/g and in the skin mucus at dose of 10(9) CFU/g. Immunoglobulin M level in the serum and skin mucus was increased except at dose of 10(3) CFU/g (P<0.05). The growth at the dose of 10(9) CFU/g was higher than that of the control (P<0.05). It is concluded that supplementation of C. butyricum can mediate the humoral immune responses and improve the growth performance in Miichthys miiuy.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effects of all-ceramic veneers in clinic fabricated by computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system and veneered with Vita VM9.
METHODS54 all-ceramic veneers were made for 12 patients. The patients were divided into three groups: Tetracycline staining group, fluorosis group and devitalization group. The color of patients' teeth was checked before and after laminates with Shade Eye. All-ceramic veneers was checked on the white background and abutment background. The value of L*, a* and b* were calculated to compare the color difference among 3 groups. The color, fitness and fracture of all-ceramic veneers were checked in clinic after restoration every 3 months.
RESULTSAll-ceramic veneers as a replacement for discolored teeth showed good appearance. The substructures and veneers showed significant color difference between white background and abutment background in tetracycline staining group and devitalization group, but there was no significant color difference in fluorosis group. All veneers had good esthetic effect, excellent marginal fit, good gingival and adjacent condition. The fracture was not found in clinic.
CONCLUSIONThe effects of all-ceramic veneers were perfect in color, fitness and stability to fracture. Fluorosis teeth is the best indication for all-ceramic veneers. To tetracycline teeth and devital teeth, the fundic porcelain with deep color should be chosen, or an opaquing material be applied as fundus in all-ceramic veneers repairing.

Objective:To evaluate the assistant role of manifestations under tracheoscopy in the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in severe patients.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted. The patients with suspected IPA admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical College from January 2015 to December 2019 were enrolled. The diagnosis, clinical diagnosis and suspected diagnosis were made according to the grading criteria of Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of invasive fungal infection in severe patients (2007). Those who met the criteria were enrolled in the IPA group, and those who did not meet the criteria or other pathogens were enrolled in the non-IPA group. The general data of the patients were collected, and the changes of tracheal and bronchial mucosa under tracheal microscope before and after treatment were recorded, as well as the results of galactomannan (GM) test and aetiology culture of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). The baseline, bronchoscopy and pulmonary CT manifestations and their dynamic changes were compared in each group. Results:A total of 142 patients with suspected IPA were finally enrolled. Among them, 12 were pathologically proven IPA, 77 were probable IPA, 22 were possible IPA, and 31 were undefined IPA. Of the 142 patients, 60 had typical manifestations of mucosal injury under bronchoscopy, including 7 proven IPA patients (58.3%), 52 probable IPA patients (67.5%), and 1 possible IPA patient (4.5%), but none undefined IPA patient. The patients undergoing lung CT scan were 12 proven IPA patients (100%), 73 probable IPA patients (94.8%), and 21 possible IPA patients (95.5%), respectively. Most of the Chest CT showed patchy or strip density increasing and other non-specific manifestations. There were 3 proven IPA patients (25.0%), 7 probable IPA patients (9.0%), and 0 possible IPA patient (0%) who had typical IPA CT manifestations (halo sign and cavity or crescent sign). Among the patients of proven IPA and probable IPA (89 cases), there were a total of 35 cases with endoscopic airway mucosal injury and tracheoscopy reexamination ≥ 3 times. All the 35 patients received anti-aspergillus treatment, among which 16 survived and 19 died. Among the 16 patients who survived, the microscopic appearance of mucosal injury was gradually reduced and the clinical manifestations were gradually improved. Of the 19 patients who died, 16 had deteriorated endoscopic airway mucosal injury.Conclusions:The specific manifestations of severe patients with bronchial mucosal injury are of great significance in the diagnosis of IPA. In the case of severe patients who cannot receive pathological examination or chest CT in time, dynamic observation of the changes of airway mucosal injury is a simple auxiliary method to discover the changes of patients' condition in time, evaluate the effect of antifungal therapy and the prognosis of IPA.
