Objective To investigate the effect of active silver ions liquids on incontinence of patients with cerebrovascular diseases.Methods Forty-eight patients with incontinence from cerebrovascular diseases were randomly divided into the treatment group and control one in equal number:the control group was managed with washing and cleaning the perineum with warm water in the morning and evening and the treatment group with active antibacterial liquid silver ion liquids in the afternoon once a day.The two groups were compared in terms of red swelling,itching,papula,blister,local shallow ulcer and abscess in the skin around the perineum as well as the incidence of urinary system infections.Results The treatment group had significantly lower incidences of red swelling,itching,papula,blister,local shallow ulcer and abscess in the skin around the perineum as well as the incidence of urinary system infections,as compared to the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Cleaning perineum with active silver ions liquids is effective for the prevention of infections in the skin around the perineum and urinary system infections.

Objective To explore the value of transthoracic echocardiography in diagnosis of Berry syndrome and analyze the sonographic typing.Methods The echocardiographic results of 6 Berry patients were reviewed retrospectively.Their sonographic typing were also analyzed connected with the reports in the literature.Results The ultrasound diagnosis of 5cases were confirmed by surgery(3)or angiography(3) and the remain one infant was died 14 days after the echocardiographic procedure.The malformations of Berry syndrome consisted of the distal aorto-pulmonary septal defect(APSD),aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery(RPA),interruption of the aortic arch(5 cases,type A with patent ductus arteriosus)or coarctation of the aortic isthmus(1 case)with intact ventricular septum.In 6 cases,there were 2 sonographic types:(1)Type A(3 cases),the aorto-pulmonary septum was almost absent and the left and right pulmonary arteries remained widely separated,the blood of the RPA came almost from the aorta,the aortic arch was interrupted.(2)Type B(3 cases),the left and right pulmonary arteries remained adjacent and the bifurcation straddled the distal APSD,the blood of the RPA came from the aorta and the pulmonary trunk separately,the aortic arch was coarctated or interrupted. Conclusions The transthoracic echocardiography can be used to evaluate all containing malformations of Berry syndrome and it may be the first diagnostic choice.

Objective To explore the role of echocardiography in the therapeutic evaluation after surgical repair of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery(ALCAPA). Methods Six patients with ALCAPA underwent surgery from 2000 to 2007 ,including 3 intrapulmonary tunnel procedures and 3 left coronary artery bypass graft procedures. Post-operative echocardiography was given in every case and the characteristics were compared with the pre-operative results. Results In all cases, the mainly coronary haemodynamics recovered rapidly with decreased severity of mitral regurgitation and excellent cardiac function. Five patients had smooth rebuilded vessels but 1 patient had mild anastomotic block and slight intrapulmonary tunnel leakage. Conclusions Transthoracic echocardiography can evaluate the rebuilded coronary artery, possible complication, cardiac morphous and function and the severity of mitral regurgitation accurately.

Objective To explore the value of echocardiography in the diagnosis of the criss-cross heart. Methods The echocardiographic results of 6 patients with the criss-cross heart were reviewed retrospectively. The echocardiographic characteristics were analyzed and compared with the surgery results in 4 operated cases. Results The 6 cases were interpreted as representing a criss-cross heart with solitus atria,D-loop ventricles and concordant atrioventricular connections. The ventriculo-arterial alignments of 5 cases were abnormal including double outlet right ventricle with anterior aorta in 2 and transposition of the great arteries in 3 while 1 patient had concordant connection. The following principal characteristics were tilting the transducer from posterior to anterior could demonstrate the connection of the left-sided left atrium and the right-sided left ventricle through mitral valve at first. The more anterior angulation of the transducer then showed the right-sided right atrium was connected to the left-sided right ventricle through tricuspid imaging displayed the two atrial outflows crossed each other without mixing at atrioventricular valve level.right ventricle often occured. The echocardiographic diagnosis of the criss-cross heart and its associated cardiac abnormalities were confirmed by surgery in 4 cases except 1 persistent left superior vena cava was missed. Conclusions The invisibility of a standard 4-chamber view in any cut was very characteristic in the echocardiographic diagnosis of the criss-cross heart. The definitive appearance was the separate display of the two ventricular inlets and the crossed atrioventricular connections with each atrium emptying into the contralateral ventricle by continuous subxiphoid or apical scanning. The transthoracic echocardiography can diagnose this rare heart disease and associated cardiac abnormalities accurately.

Objective To investigate the spectrum,diagnosis,time of therapy and management of the congeni-tal heart disease(CHD)in patients with Down′s syndrome(DS).Methods A retrospective report was undertaken of 96 cases in children with DS accompanied by CHD in Department of Pediatric Cardiology,Beijing Anzhen Hospital Af-filiated to Capital Medical University.Data were collected and analyzed about their clinical characteristics,and types of cardiovascular abnormalities,and the important laboratory examinations such as echocardiography and catheterization as well as the procedures of diagnosis and treatments were summarized.Then the interventions,complications and prognosis of different patients were estimated.Results (1)Single congenital heart disease was found in 33 cases (34.38%),a-mong which ventricular septal defect was the most common (14 cases,14.58%),followed by atrioventricular septal de-fect and atrial septal defect (equally,7 cases,7.29%).Multi -cardiovascular abnormalities were discovered in 63 ca-ses,and patent ductus arteriosus turned out to be the most common (42 cases,66.67%).(2)Cat-heterization was car-ried out in 18 cases of serious pulmonary arterial hypertension,and 8 cases were proved resistant pulmonary arterial hy-pertension without operation opportunity.The other 8 cases were estimated as high pulmonary arterial hypertension and medical therapy was suggested before reassessment to reduce surgical risks.(3)Operations were undertaken in 61 ca-ses,among which percutaneous interventional occlusion was performed in 7 cases and surgical interventions were per-formed in 54 patients,in which perioperation complications and death were found in 5 cases and 4 cases,respectively. Conclusions Operation interventions are practicable and most cases recovered well with systematic examinations and assessment in patients with DS and cardiovascular malformations.Early diagnosis and timely interventions are highly suggested.Also close attentions should be paid to follow -up and re -estimation after medical therapy.

To explore the association between polymorphisms of transcription factor 7-like 2 gene (TCF7L2) and type 2 diabetes mellitus in Hefei district. The results suggest that the genetic variation DG10S478 in the TCF7L2 gene was not associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Hefei district ( P>0.05 ). However, its attribution to the susceptibility of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Hefei is not important.

Objective To determine whether regulatory T cells(Tr)are increased in patients with tuberculosis and whether they are associated with its immunopathology.Meantime,to investigate the possibility of tuberculosis(TB)as a model for studying Tr functions.Methods The lymphocyte subsets were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by sorting with flow cytometry.Total cellular RNA was extracted and RT-PCR was performed to detect the Foxp3 mRNA in purified CD3+CIM+T cells,CD3+CD8+T cells and non-CD3+CD4+CD8+T cells.Using FACS analysis.we further investigated the distribution of Foxp3+ population in CD4+ CD25+T cells.Finally,we compared the percentage of CD4+CD25highFoxp3+T cells present in 51 active patients with tuberculosis and 40 uninfected healthy control subjects by FACS.The detection of Tr infiltration of Foxp3+ cells were performed with immunohistochemistry(IHC)method on tuberculosis pathological sections.Results Foxp3 was specific expressed in CD3+CD4+T cells,either in tuberculosis patients or healthy control subjects.Foxp3+ T cells took about 85%fraction of CD4+ CD25highpopulation.We used CD4+CD25high Foxp3+as a detective markers for Tr in the FACS analysis.The results showed that patients with active TB had a 4.4 fold higher percentage within the CD4+T cells in peripheral blood compared to healthy control group(modian,1.01%vs 0.23%,P<0.01).Much higher frequency of Tr were found along with T cells infiltration at the tuberculosis pathological tissues.A few individuals that we can followed indicated the expanded Tr was declined after curative treatment with operation.Conclusion Tr cells are increased in tuberculosis patients and closely correlate with its immunopathology.Tuberculosis should be a valuable model for Tr functional study.

Oral and maxillofacial organoids (OMOs), tiny tissues and organs derived from stem cells cultured through 3-d cell culture models, can fully summarize the cell tissue structure, physiological functions and biological characteristics of the source tissues in the body. OMOs are applied in areas such as disease modelling, developmental and regenerative medicine, drug screening, personalized treatment, etc. Although the construction of organoids in various parts of the oral and maxillofacial (OM) region has achieved considerable success, the existing cocktail formulae (construction strategies) are not widely applicable for tissues of various sources due to factors including the heterogeneity of the source tissues and the dependence on laboratory technology. Most of their formulae are based on growth factor niches containing expensive recombinant proteins with their efficiency remaining to be improved. In view of this, the cocktail formulae of various parts of the OM organs are reviewed with further discussion of the application and prospects for those OMOs to find some affordable cocktail formula with strong operability and high repeatability for various maxillofacial organs. The results may help improve the efficiency of organoid construction in the laboratory and accelerate the pace of the clinical use of organoid technology.
