Objective To explore the procedures of breast repair and reconstruction after mastectomy with three methods for optimal appearances of the breast.Methods Three methods were adopted in this study:(1)Two-stage breast reconstruction operation with ampliate latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap after mastectomy;(2)One stage breast reconstruction operation with transverse rectus adbominis myocutaneous(TRAM)flap after mastectomy;and(3)Two-stage breast reconstruction and nipple repair operation with tissue expander/implant after mastectomy preserving pectoralis major museulus or implants along under pectoralis major musculus.Results All of the flaps survived well and were well-shaped in total 10 patients(10 breasts)with a flap breast reconstruetion,in which the superior ratios were 83.33%.The appearance and volume were not satisfactory in 1 patiant treated with the method of tissue expander/implant,because the volume of tissue inflation was smaller than another one and 100 ml implant was applied.The partial flap necrosis occurred in 1 case with the method of TRAM flap.Conclusions With the development of plastic surgery technique,the appearances and shapes of reconstructed breast achieve the satisfactory effects.After the ampliate latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap is applied,the appearance and volume of reconstructed breast are similar to the healthy one.The two-stage nipple repair operation is applied with breast reconstruction operation by the tissue expander/implant after mastectomy preserving pectoralis major musculus.According to the different methods of mastectomy to choose suitable procedures of breast reconstruction,the satisfactory appearances and psychotherapy will be achieved.

Objective To study the treatment method of giant neurofibromatosis on body surface.Methods Replantation of the tumor skin,full-thickenss skin grafting and transferring of expanded flap were used to reconstruct the appearance and function after the excision of giant neurofibroma.Results Sixteen cases gained primary healing while other 2 cases with delayed healing after onestage or fractionated resection of giant neurofibroma on body surface.All the 18 patients resumed selfcare and working ability.Conclusions Giant neurofibromatosis has significant damage to the appearance and body shape and also greatly limits the patient's life and work.Patients can resume physical and psychological rehabilitation by surgical resection and plastic surgery treatment.

Myopia is not only a global public health problem, but also a significant socio-economic problem. There are various hypotheses about the pathogenesis of myopia, which is basically the result of the combination of environmental and genetic factors. Although a large number of epidemiological studies have been carried out on the influencing factors of myopia, most of them are cross-sectional studies, longitudinal cohort studies are relatively few. This paper will summarize the influencing factors of myopia at homeland and abroad in recent years.

Sphingolipids are structural components of cellular membranes.Their metabolites,such as ceramide,sphingosine,and sphingosine 1-phosphate are important bioactive molecules,which act as the first or second messengers regulating various cellular activities,including proliferation,survival,migration and neovascularization in vitro and in vivo tumor models.Sphingosine kinases 1(SPK1) is a critical regulator of the balance between ceramide and S1P.Recent studies show that ceramide,SPK1 and S1P can regulate many of the hallmarks of cancer.These studies suggest that these metabolites can serve as novel targets for cancer therapy.

Astragalus polysaccharides was lounded to 4-(2-aminoethylphenol), followed by labeling the APS-Tyr with fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate (FITC) at the secondary amino group. The absorption enhancement effects of low molecular weight chitosan and protamine on astragalus polysaccharides were evaluated via Caco-2 cell culture model. The results show that the fluorecent labeling compound has good stability and high sensitivity. On the other hand low molecular weight chitosan and protamine also can promoted absorption of the astragalus polysaccharides without any cytotoxity, and the absorption increase was more significant with increasing the amount of low molecular weight chitosan and protamine. At the same time, the low molecular weight chitosan has slightly better effect. The transepithelial electric resistance (TEER) of Caco-2 cells show that absorption enhancers could improve its membrane transport permeability by opening tight junctions between cells and increasing the cell membrane fluidity.

Objective To isolate bioactive compound of enhancing fibrinolysis from secondary metabolites of marine microorganism.Methods The separation of microorganism from seawater samples,screening of producing fibrinolytic compound's strain,selection of the active strain's optimum fermentation medium and refining of active compound were done by the method of selective cultivation,measuring of compound's fibrinolytic activity and semipreparative HPLC,respectively.Results Nine hundred and thirty-six single strains from 31 samples were collected 100 meters off the coast,and cultures of the fungus(FG216) contained enhancing fibrinolytic compound.Compounds from modified Czapek medium as the fermentation medium of FG216 showed significant fibrinolytic effect.Finally,active fraction were isolated and refined from cultures of FG216.Conclusion In this paper,active compound of enhancing fibrinolysis were gained from secondary metabolites of isolated single microorganism from seawater.

Objective To explore the effects of different doses of 5,2′,4′-trihydroxy-6,7,5′-trimethoxyflavone nanoparticles (TTF1-NP)on the apoptosis of human hepatoma cells and human normal hepatocytes,and to explore their mechanisms through endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-meditated apoptosis pathway. Methods The human hepatoma cell lines (HepG2,Hep3B and PLC/PRF/5)and human hepatocytes (Chang Liver)were used as cell model, and divided into vehicle, 5-Fu and TTF1-NP treated groups with the concentrations of 50, 100 and 200 μmol·L-1 respectively. The inhibitory effects of TTF1-NP on the cell growth were assessed using MTT assay and the best inhibitory one (HepG-2)was selected as the main research cell lines.Flow cytometry was used to detect the TTF1-NP-induced apoptosis;Western blotting and immunocytochemistry were used to determine the expressions of ERS key proteins.Finally,the expressions of key proteins were detected by Western blotting after using the ERS inhibitor 4-PBA.Results Compared with vehicle group,the inhibitory rates of growth of 4 kinds of human hepatoma cells in different concentrations of TTF1-NP groups were increased (P <0.05 or P <0.01);moreover,the inhibitory effects of TTF1-NP were in a time-and dose-dependent manner.Compared with vehicle group,the apoptotic rates of the cells in TTF1-NP groups were increased in a dose-dependent manner (P <0.05 or P < 0.01 );the expression levels of ERS key proteins GRP78 and caspase-4 were increased with the increasing of the concentration of TTF1-NP (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).The expression levels of ERS key proteins GRP78 and caspase-4 induced by TTF1-NP were inhibited by ERS inhibitor 4-PBA (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ). Conclusion TTF1-NP can induce the apoptosis of HepG2 cells;ERS pathway plays a central role in TTF1-NP-induced apoptosis of HepG-2 cells.
