It was indicated that recom?bined p3XFLAG?CMV7 plasmid contained correct recombinant human Notch1 sequences and p3XFLAG?CMV7?NICD1 was constructed success?fully. The western blotting showed protein NICD1 expressed in SRA01/04 cells transfected with p3XFLAG?CMV7?NICD1. Conclusion The suc?cessful construction of p3XFLAG?CMV7?NICD1 will provide a foundation for a further study studies in on the effect relationship of Notch signaling pathway and in posterior capsular opacification(PCO)after cataract extraction.

Objetive To study the medical value of the combined treatment of laparoscopy and duodenoscopy treatment for calculus of extrahepatic bile duct.Methods Retrospectivly analyzed the clinical data of 72 cases with combination of laparoscopy and duodenoscopy treatment for calculus of extrahepatic bile duct between March 2006 and October 2011.There were 11 cases of choledocholithiasis and 61 cases of choledocholithiasis and cholecystolithiasis.Results Three cases of severe abdominal adhesion converted to laparotomy and other 69 cases were cured.The cure rate was 95.83％.There were no complications such as infection,bile duct injury,bile leakage,intraabdominal hemorrhage,bile reflux cholangitis,pancreatitis and cicatrical stenosis of papilary.The examination after operation showed that there weren't any residual bile duct stones.Conclusions The combination of laparoscopy and duodenoscopy treatment for calculus of extrabepatic bile duct has less traumatic,few intercurrent disease,and was safe and reliable with well postoperative recovery.It can be regarded as the preference treatment for calculus of extrahepatic bile duct.

Objective:To investigate the common reasons for the failure of radical mastoidectomy in order to improve the result of treatment and obtain a dry ear.Method:Twenty-eight cases,who achieved no dry ear after radical mastoidectomy,underwent secondary surgery.Result:All cases obtained dry ear without vertigo or facial paralysis after operation and postoperative dressing.Conclusion:The reasons for the failure of radical mastoidectomy result from the incomplete clearance of lesions, the insufficient ventilation of mastoid cavities, the inappropriate postoperative dressings or the residual foreign bodies in surgical cavity.It is the key points to achieve skeletonization adequately, to eliminate the pathological tissues thoroughly under microscope, and to ensure unobstructed drainage of surgical cavities for preventing secondary surgery.

Hepatocyte transplantation is effective in the treatment of liver failure caused by a variety of factors.In pace with the progress of the study of induced pluripotent stem cells and its differentiation technology,a new method has arisen to obtain a great number of safe hepatocytes with biological function,which are suitable for seed cells of hepatocyte transplantation.In this article,we review the latest research progress about induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes being transplanted to treat liver failure.

Objective To investigate the influence of Liuwei Dihuang pills on proliferation and differentiation of rat preadipocytes. Methods Rat preadipocytes were cultured, the influence of Liuwei Dihuang drug-containing serum on proliferation of rat preadipocytes was detected by MTT method, the influence of Liuwei Dihuang drug-containing serum on expression of GPDH was determined by enzyme tissue chemical method, the effect on lipid accumulation was determined by Oil Red O staining. Results Liuwei Dihuang drug-containing serum stimulated rat preadipocyte proliferation, inhibited GPDH up-regulation during differentiation, inhibited lipid accumulation in cell differentiation with the concentration below 10%. Conclusion Liuwei Dihuang pills stimulated rat preadipocyte proliferation, inhibited rat preadipocyte differentiation.

The methods of diagnostic imaging for pulmonary embolism is diversified. However, the different characteristic features of diagnostic imaging and diagnostic accuracy impressive influenced the choice of selection by clinicians. Furthermore, the principle and indication of interventional therapy would have great impending force on the outcomings. This article presents a comprehension of diagnostic imagings and interventional therapy for pulmonary embolization.

Asteroid Hyalosis (AH) is a common clinical disease,which has been considered a benign disorder as it rarely impairs visual acuity.It was often discovered when the patient was treated for other eye diseases.The mechanism was unclear.Its characteristic B-ultrasound property makes the B-ultrasound a very helpful diagnostic technique.In the case of the patients with other fundus diseases associated with AH,optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography (FA) may be used to reduce the interference from asteroid bodies,therefore improve the fundus visibility.Recent studies have shown that AH can incorporate with many other eye diseases.For example,in patients with cataracts,asteroid hyalosis can cause surface calcification of silicone plate intraocular lenses,which in most cases may lead to the need for explantation of the calcified intraocular lenses.The efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV),the removal of some,or all,of the eye`s vitreous humor for AH remains controversial.In this paper,we provide a review of the recent literature on AH disease: the etiology,diagnosis and treatment.We hope to thus improve the awareness and outcomes of AH disease.

Objective To study the relationship between rotational deformity and operational correction rate in scoliosis. MethodsFrom January 2005 to December 2006,44 cases of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with operational correction were reviewed.Before operation,all the patients were performed MRI scan of the whole spine and the rotation angle of superior and inferior endplate of nine vertebraes with the center of apical vertebrae were measured so that the mechanical torsion angle of vertebrae and disc were calculated,and the rotation compliance of the spine was obtained.In addition,preoperative plain,lateral and bending film of thoracic-lumbar vertebrae were taken to measure the Cobb angle,and the items above were compared with those of post-operation to calculate the scoliosis flexibility and correction rate.Correlation analysis was conducted between the rotation compliance,flexibility and operational correction rate in scoliosis.Results There were significant differences in the mean coronal and sagittal Cobb angle before and after the operation(P

BACKGROUND:Ginsenoside can promote wisdom,prevent aging,protect cortical motor neurons,resist cell apoptosis,but the mechanisms are unclear.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of Ginsenoside Rb1 and Rg1 on nerve growth factor expression in Schwann cells.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The in vitro cytological study was performed at the Second People's Hospital of Shenzhen City from March to June 2004.MATERIALS:Fresh adult ex vivo nerve was obtained from limbs that were dissociated by trauma and could not be reimplanted at the Second People's Hospital of Shenzhen City.Ginsenoside Rb1 and Rg1 was supplied by the Norman Bethune University of Medical Sciences.METHODS:Epineurium was removed and cut into 1.0-2.0 mm blocks.Schwann cells were isolated by enzyme digestion.Following removing fibroblasts by double 30-minute differential attachment,Schwann cells with above 95% purity rate were harvested,and then incubated on a 96-well culture plate coated with polylysine (105 cells/well).Schwann cells in the Ginsenoside Rb1 group were subjected to 20 uL of Ginsenoside Rb1 at 10,20,40,60,80 ug.Schwann cells in the Ginsenoside Rg1 group underwent 20 uL of Ginsenoside Rg1 at 10,20,40,60,80 ug.Schwann cells in the control group were treated with 20 uL of phosphate buffered saline.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Nerve growth factor expression rate was determined in Schwann cells by using flow cytometry.RESULTS:Nerve growth factor expression rate in Schwann cells was significantly increased in the Ginsenoside Rb1 and Ginsenoside Rg1 groups compared with the control group at 48 hours following incubation (P ＜ 0.05),in a dose-dependent fashion.Nerve growth factor expression rate peaked when Ginsenoside Rb1 and Ginsenoside Rg1 were 60 mg/L.No significant difference in nerve growth factor expression rate was detected between the Ginsenoside Rb1 and Ginsenoside Rg1 groups (P ＞0.05).CONCLUSION:Ginsenoside Rb1 and Rg1 has potential of promoting the recovery of damaged peripheral nerve by increasing Schwann cell producing and secreting nerve growth factor.

Angiogenesis plays an important role in the development process of tumor,and related microRNA(miRNA) in tumor cells can regulate tumor angiogenesis via the pathway of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF).Therefore,the further study of miRNA function will provide more effective targets to inhibit tumor angiogenesis,and provide more reliable basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of tumor.
