Along with the advance in national economy, modern concept of burn rehabilitation from major burn injury implies that measures should be taken to help the patients return to society with dignity. This article briefly reviews the development and achievement of burn rehabilitation in our country, as well as the current difficulties in carrying out rehabilitation measures such as outmoded ideology, lack of trained personnel, low rat of popularization, outdated techniques and methodology, and relatively low level in scientific research, etc. The future development of burn rehabilitation in our country needs more social support, popular attention, and multidisciplinary joint efforts to help burn patients return to society with dignity. In order to fulfill this goal, we still have a long way to go.

Objective To investigate the early diagnosis and management of eclampsia complicated with encephalopathy and to reduce the maternal mortality rate. Methods A retrospective study was carried out on 8 cases with encephalopathy caused by eclampsia between Jan. 1988～Dec. 2002. Results There were 8 cases (22.2%) complicated with encephalopathy in 36 eclampsia patients. Four cases presented with cerebral hemorrhage,2 with cerebral infarct,1 with cerebral edema and 1 with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Two women died(25%). Conclusions The prognosis of eclampsia patient complicated with encephalopathy can be greatly improved by early diagnosis and proper treatment based on the clinical manifestations and computed tomographic scan.

Objective To investigate the value of cystatin CysC on early renal damage in patients with essential hypertensive.Methods Hundred-four patients who were diagnosed as essential hypertensive with microalbuminuria (Urinary microalbumin:20-200 mg/L) with essential hypertensive (58 males and 46 females) were enrolled and 54 healthy subjects (30 males and 24 females) were selected as controls.Serum CysC (CysC)、Crea(Cr) 、BUN、uric acid (UA) were measured and ROC curve was established based on the examination.Results There were significant difference on the level of Serum CysC[1.22(0.91,1.51 ) mg/L vs 0.73 (0.61,0.79 ) mg/L,Z=3.30,P＜0.01],BUN [6.40 ( 4.43,9.06 ) mmol/L vs 5.10 ( 4.34,5.93 ) mmol/L,Z=5.94,P＜0.01],Cr [96.3 (72.6,122.0 ) μmol/L vs 70.5 (56.2,76.0 ) μmol/L,Z=8.30,P＜0.01],UA [375.7 ( 312.3,431.8 ) μmol/L vs 328.7 ( 271,379.3 ) mmol/L,Z=3.28,P＜0.01] between essential hypertensive group and control group.According to ROC curve,the area of CysC under the ROC curve (AUC) in 104 patients was 0.87,significantly different with CR(0.78),BUN(0.66),UA(0.66) (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ) The Youden index of CysC was 0.69,and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity of CysC were 76％ and 93％ respectively.Conclusion The diagnostic value of serum CysC on early renal damage in patients with essential hypertensive is superior to Cr,BUN and UA,and changes of renal function can be found earlier according to the level of serum CysC,It plays a key role in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of the early renal damage in patients with essential hypertension.

Objective To evaluate the role of contrast enhanced ultrasound in treatment of ultrasound guided high intensity fo‐cused ultrasound ablation for uterine fibroids .Methods Forty eight women with uterine fibroids were allocated into contrast en‐hanced group(25cases ,42fibroids) and non contrast enhanced group(23 cases ,35 fibroids) .The average volume of fibroids and the non perfused volume and the fractional ablation and adverse effects between the tow groups were compared .Results Non perfused volume was observed in all fibroids of the two groups after high intensity focused ultrasound ablation through sulphur hexafluoride micro bubbles .The average non perfused volume was 19 .5(18 .2)cm3 and 22 .5(14 .5)cm3 ,fractional ablation was (78 ± 18)% and (87 ± 13)% of the uterus immediately after HIFU respectively .The average non perfused volume was 18 .6(18 .2)cm3 and 19 .5 (18 .7)cm3 ,fractional ablation was (85 .7 ± 15 .2)% and (87 .6 ± 8 .0)% of the uterus two days after HIFU .There was no signifi‐cant difference was observed in average non perfused volume and the fractional ablation between the two groups(P>0 .05) .During HIFU procedure ,more patients in non contrast enhanced group complained sacral pain than those in contrast enhanced group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Contrast enhanced ultrasound is an accurate method in assessing the treatment effect of HIFU and could be safely used during HIFU treatment for uterine fibroids ,shorten therapy time ,and decrease side reaction .

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection causes pathological changes of the liver,including liver inflammation,hepatocyte necrosis,and even liver fibrosis,and promotes the progression from chronic hepatitis to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer,but related mechanisms remain unclear.The mechanism for the interaction between hepatocytes infected by HBV and uninfected hepatocytes/host immune system might be exosomes-mediated cell-cell communication in liver microenvironment.Many studies have demonstrated that viral infection can regulate the production of exosomes and affect their composition,and viral microRNAs,proteins,and even the entire virion can be incorporated into the exosomes,which can affect the immune recognition of viruses or regulate the function of adjacent cells.This article elaborates on the production and composition of exosomes and their roles in viral infection,as well as the research advances in the association between exosomes and HBV infection.

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU ) in the treat‐ment of uterine fibroid (<4 cm) .Methods Retrospectively studied 79 single fibroid (<4 cm) patients that treated with HIFU in our hospital from January 2011 to February 2013 .Evaluated the improvement of post‐treatment ,shrinkage of fibroid volume and HIFU‐related adverse reaction .Results All the 79 patients were successfully cured by HIFU treatment .The shrinkage rate of fi‐broid was 79 .0% (four point spacing 57 .9% ,92 .1% ) after 2‐year treatment ;Symptom severity score (SSS) and uterine fibroid symptom and quality of life score (UFS‐QOL) were significantly improved ;and there was no adverse reaction .Conclusion HIFU can be safely used in the treatment of small uterine fibroids (diameter<4 cm ) .

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) poses serious health problems in Southern China and yet the molecular mechanism of the carcinogenesis remains unclear. We used modern proteomic technologies to compare the protein expression profiles between the NPC cell lines (HNE1 and CNE1 ) and an immortalized nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line NP69 to identify cancer related proteins. Cell lysates were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2 DE ) and analyzed by PDQuest software. The differentially expressed proteins were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS). We discovered 15 up-regulated proteins and 18 down-regulated proteins in both HNE1 and CNE1 cell lines compared with NP69. These proteins are correlative with various functions, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, cancer metastasis, metabolism, cytoskeleton and signal transduction. Western blotting analyses were further carried out to verify the differential expression of individual proteins. Several identified proteins in our research might be used as potential molecular markers to understand the molecular mechanism of NPC development and metastasis, and might be used as candidate targets for NPC treatments.
