PlexinC1 is a large transmembrane protein widely distributed,which belongs to receptor system. PlexinC1 is expressed by monocyte,T-cells,B-cells,dendritic cells,neutrophils,and platelets. Recent researches showed that plexinC1 was intensely associated with lung injury,asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. PlexinC1 binded to its corresponding ligand and activated cellular signal pathway,which then participating in pathophysiologic processes of diseases mentioned above. Reasonably,PlexinC1 influences the development, prognosis of lung diseases and would provide a new target in control and treatment of lung diseases. This pa-per reviewed simply the formation,distribution,function of plexinC1 and the role of it playing in the associat-ed lung diseases.

Objective To study a novel method for the high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR) CT image to the intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) CT image deformable image registration and dose accumulation.Methods The applicator in the HDR CT image is first segmented and removed,then a deflation step is performed on the applicator-free HDR CT image by solving the Navier-Stokes equation.Demons algorithm is utilized to register the deflated HDR CT image to the IMRT CT image,along with the HDR dose.The deformed HDR dose is then added on the IMRT dose and yield the final accumulated dose.Results The HDR CT image and IMRT CT image,as well as the corresponding dose distribution,from five cervical cancer patients are used for evaluation of the proposed algorithm,the results show that the proposed method can effectively get rid of the influence of the applicator and produce an accurate accumulated dose.Conclusions Dose accumulation and supervision is an important step in adaptive radiotherapy for accurate dose delivery and treatment plan re-optimization.The proposed method in this study can effectively accumulate the HDR dose to the IMRT dose domain,and the accuracy is proved to be sufficient for clinical needs.

OBJECTIVE To identify the antibiotic resistance,homology and the carbapenemases determinants of imipenem-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from elderly in the Zhejiang Hospital.METHODS All 142 strains of A.baumannii were isolated from Zhejiang Hospital through Jan 2005 to Jan 2007.K-B method was used to screen imipenem-resistant strains.The MICs of imipenem-resistant strains to 14 antimicrobial agents were determined by agar dilution method.The homology of these isolates was analyzed by pulse-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE).The coding genes of carbapenamases and the gene environments were investigated by PCR,clone,and sequencing.RESULTS Ninety-seven strains of imipenem-resistant A.baumannii were isolated from 142 strains.All of the strains of carbapenem resistant A.baumannii belonged to 4 epidemic PFGE-clones.Ninety carbapenem resistant strains contained OXA-23-like carbapenemase gene and 91 isolates were positive for OXA-51-like gene. OXA-23-like gene of 86 strains was just on the down-stream of insert sequence ISAba1.OXA-51-like gene of 6 strains had an ISAba1 sequence just on the up-stream.CONCLUSIONS All imipenem-resistant strains of A.baumannii are pan-resistant isolates.Clone dissemination is the most important style of strains spread.No OXA-24-like,OXA-58like,IMP-like,and VIM-like gene are detected.OXA-23-like and OXA-51-like gene are the most popular carbapenemases coding genes of these strains in the Zhejiang Hospital.ISAba1 has close relationship with OXA type carbapenemases genes in Zhejiang Hospital.

Objective To determine 2-4 year intermediate-term clinical effects of deep-freezing bone-ACL-bone allograft plus endobutton plate fixation in reconstruction anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) injuries after ACL injury and estimate the feasibility and validity of the technique.Methods We car- ried out a retrospective study on 15 cases with ACL injury of lateral knee joint reconstructed with deep- freezing bone-ACL-bone allograft plus endobutton plate fixation method from September 1999 to October 2002.The average follow up was 36.9 months.The myodynamic recovery,muscular activity,Rom Lach- man test,Pivot shift test,Lysholm score and X-ray of tunnels enlargement at intermediate term were com- pared with normal ones.Results The circumference of thigh was(0.976?0.119)cm shorter than that of the normal side.Extension limitation of less than 3?was found in 12 cases and knee flexion limita- tion for below 5?in 13.Lachman test showed negative results.Lyshohn score was increased from preoper- ative 66.2?4.6 to postoperative 89.4?3.2.X-ray showed no tunnel enlargement.Conclusions Re- construction of ACL with deep-freezing bone-ACL-bone allograft plus endobutton plate fixation under ar- throscopy can attain equal length and anatomic reconstruction of ACL.Deep-freezing bone-ACL-bone is beneficial to functional recovery of ACL.

Objective To explore the effect of levetiracetam(LEV)on cognitive function and quality of life of patients with partial seizure.Methods There were two phase for this study.Phase one was a randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled study for 16 weeks.Phase two was an open label period for 24 weeks.Medicated patients underwent test on the cognitive function and Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL)at the baseline respectively at the end of 16 weeks and at the end of 40 weeks.Results(1) Compared the result at the end of 16 weeks with the baseline,LEV group used less time to do Wisconsin card sorting test(WCST,reduce scores -110.3),delayed logical memory were improved(reduce scores 3.4,P

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic intraluminal closure of small colon perforation with metal clips in porcine model.Methods A 2 cm full-thickness colon perforation was made in 4 bama mini-pigs.One did not receive local closure as a control, while 3 others underwent closure with bi-and tri-arm clips, one of which received additional fibrin glue injection after closure.Necropsy was done on day 14 after the procedure, and dye leak test, peritoneal fluid bacteria culture and histological examination were performed.During the 2 week observation period, the body temperature and blood leukocytes count were recorded and compared.Results Endoscopic closure of the colon perforation was technically successful in all 3 pigs.The body temperature and blood leukocyte count of these pigs were both lower than those of the control.Necropsy showed that the perforation in control pig was not completely closed and with multiple adhesions around.Perforation complete closure and pathological healing without adhesion were observed in 2 pigs with clip closure only, while adhesion and incomplete pathological healing was detected in the other one with clip closure plus fibrinogen injection (P＜0.05).Conclusion Endoscopic intraluminal closure of a 2 cm colon perforation with metal clips is feasible and safe, while further study is needed to evaluate the effect of combined local fibrinogen injection.

Objective To explore for the effect of endoscopic treatment on biliary leakage and biliary duct stricture. Methods All patients with biliary leakage and biliary duct stricture were treated by endo scopic sphincoterotomy and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage ( ENBD) during abdominal cavity drainage. EN-BD was removed when biliary leakage healed and abdominal cavity drainage ceased for 1-2 weeks were confirmed. Plastic stents were implanted to distend the biliary duct stricture for 2-3 months. Results Twenty two patients with biliary leakage were cured 3-4 weeks after ENBD. Ten out of 13 patients implanted with plastic stent were recovered uneventfully after stent removed, and 2 patients also recovered after installation of double-stents for 3 months, while another case with calculus and stricture of left hepatic duct in spite of implantation of simple-stent suffered repeatedly from biliary tract infection. Conclusions Endoscopic therapy is the first choice in treating biliary leakage or secondary biliary duct stricture.
