AIM: To explore the mechanism and significance of the intestinal epithelial cellular membrane damage following burn serum. METHODS: The intestinal epithelial cell(IEC-6) were cultured. The changes of total membranous phospholipid contents fluidity of the IEC membrane were dynamically examined with fluorescence polarization technique and HPCE. RESULTS: In the early stage after stimulation by 20% burn serum, the membranous fluidity obviously decreased. The total phospholipid contents decreased, the content of PLA 2 markedly increased. CONCLUSION: The serial changes in IEC after burned could result in the damages of IEC membrane structure, the integrity of cell membrane and function.

OBJECTIVETo explore therapeutic effects of Modified pinning combined with external tension band for the treatment of Gartland type III humeral supracondylar fractures in children.

METHODSFrom February 2009 to November 2010, 79 children with Gartland type III humeral supracondylar fractures were treated by modified pinning (pinning cross internal and external condyle assisted with lateral condyle) combined with external tension band (crossing needle end and hooking around) through lateral approach of elbow. There were 47 males and 32 females, with an average age of 8.7 years (ranging from 2.5 to 14 years). The time from injury to operation was 2 h to 8 d. The elbow joint function and Carrying angle were observed before and after treatment. The Flynn criteria were used to evaluate therapeutic effects.

RESULTSSixty-one patients were followed up (18 patients' data were lost) for 6-30 months (mean 13.5 months). According to Flynn criteria, 53 patients got excellent result, 7 good and 1 fair.

CONCLUSIONTreatment of child Gartland type III humeral supracondylar fractures with modified pinning combined with external tension band through lateral approach of elbow is believed to be an ideal method, which has advantages of reliable fixation, rapid recovery and less complications.

Objective To explore the mechanism of intestinal epithelial cell membrane injury due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhesion. Methods The intestinal epithelial cells were cultured and adhered with Pseudomonas aeruginosa . The changes in the viability of the cells and the activity of membranous PLA 2, the calcium content of cell, contents of phospholipid and membrane fluidity were observed. Results At 3rd h after the adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa , the viability of the intestinal epithelial cells decreased significantly, but the activity of membranous PLA 2, the calcium content of cell increased significantly; the contents of phospholipid(PL), phosphatidylinositol(PI) and phosphatidylcholine(PC) in cell membrane decreased gradually, but the membrane fluorescence polarization and microviscosity of intestinal epithelial cell membrane increased significantly. Conclusion The activation of PLA 2 and the degradation of phospholipid due to the overloading of calcium in intestinal epithelial cells after the adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to intestinal epithelial cells might be the fundamental factors to result in the reduction of membrane fluidity.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and chronological change of ulcerative colitis(UC) in the Chinese PLA General Hospital in near 16 years. Methods Patients diagnosed with UC during the period from 1994 to 2009 in the Chinese PLA General Hospital were registered and their clinical profiles were analyzed. Results From 1994 to 2009, of 525 patients diagnosed with UC, with a median onset age of 42 years. The predominant form of UC was extensive colitis, which affected almost 33.3% (175/525), left-sided colitis was present in 21.3% (112/525) and rectum was present in 12.4%(65/525). The chronic relapsing type of UC was the most common (69.0%, 362/525 ), followed by the initial onset type (18. 1%, 95/525 ), chronic continuous type with intermittent exacerbations (9.7%,51/525), and acute fulminant type (3. 2%, 17/525 ). Two hundred and twenty-one patients (42. 1%,221/525) were graded as mild, 162 (30.9% , 162/525) as moderate, and 142(27.0%, 142/525) as severe UC. The proportion of mild colitis and rectum was significantly higher in patients with an onset age of over 60 years, compared with those with an onset age of less than 30 years( P ＜0. 05 ). The proportion of UC patients with old age onset ( P ＜ 0. 05 ), male sex ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), mild colitis ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), rectum ( P ＜0. 01 ) , relapse-free type ( P ＜ 0. 01 ) demonstrated a chronological increase from 1994 to 2009.Conclusions The distinctive clinical features and chronological change were seen in UC patients in recent years. Compare to those with an onset at less than 30 years, the proportion of mild colitis and rectum was significantly larger in patients with an onset at over 60 years of age, and the proportion of UC patients with old age onset, male sex, mild colitis, rectum, relapse type were less.

This article was aimed to study the analgesic and antipyretic effect of Re-Du-Ning (RDN) Injection. Heating model was building on SD rats after subcutaneous injection of yeast. And then, RDN Injection was intravenous injected at the dose of 10.16 g·kg-1, 5.08 g·kg-1, and 2.54 g·kg-1, respectively. Observation was made on changes of rats' temperature. RDN Injection was intravenous injected into ICR mice at the dose of 20.30 g·kg-1, 10.15 g·kg-1, 5.08 g·kg-1 for 7 consecutive days. The methods of mice twist, hot plate and jaw pain were used in the testing of analgesic action of RDN Injection. The results showed that RDN Injection at high and middle dose can significantly reduce the temperature of heating rats models (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). It can also significantly reduce the twisting times of mice by acetic acid (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01). It can also significantly increase the pain threshold of mice by hot plate and jaw pain (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01). It was concluded that RDN Injection had a good analgesic and antipyretic effect in mice.

This study was aimed to discuss the antibacterial and immunomodulation effect ofRe-Du-Ning (RDN) injection. Mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group,Shuang-Huang-Lian (SHL) group (7.8 mL·kg-1), RDN high dose group (20.30 g·kg-1), middle dose group (10.15 g·kg-1), and low dose group (5.08 g·kg-1), in order to observe the death protective effect of mice with bacterial infection on antibacterial experimentin vivo. Mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group,Xiang-Gu Duo-Tang (XGDT) group (0.19 mg·kg-1), RDN high dose group (20.30 g·kg-1), middle dose group (10.15 g·kg-1), and low dose group (5.08 g·kg-1). The 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene was used to induce delayed hypersensitivity. Immunomodulation was observed by the content of serum hemolysin and the carbon particle clearance index. The results showed that the RDN high dose group and middle dose group had antibacterial effect, which reduced the mortality of mice. The RDN high dose, middle dose and low dose group can enhance the phagocytosis of macrophage in immunosuppressive mice, increase the formation of hemolysin, and strengthen delayed hypersensitivity reaction among immunocompromised mice. It was concluded that RDN injection had antibacterial effect. Its immunomodulation effect was through the enhancing of non-specific immunity, humoral immunity and cellular immunity of mice.
