Mac-1,an adhesion molecule expressed on the surface of leukocytes,plays an important role in host-defence function and immunological response.It consists of two noncovalently linked polypeptides known as ?(CD11b) and ?(CD18) subunits.It contains two important domains known as I-domain which recognizes protein ligands and the lectin domain which recognizes polysaccharides.Mac-1 is expressed on nearly all neutrophils,monocytes,eosinophils and NK cells,but less on B cells,T cells and macrophages.Mac-1 functions as both an adhesion molecule for ICAM-1 expressed by stimulated endothelium mediating the diapedesis of leukocytes across the endothelium and a receptor for the iC3b fragment of complement responsible for cytotoxicity to microorganisms or target cells opsonized with iC3b.It can also form a complex with many membrane glycoproteins,functioning as a signal transducing partner for them.An important finding was that soluble ?-glucan could bind to Mac-1 and prime the receptor for cytotoxic function in response to iC3b-opsonized tumors,thus may pave the way for development of ?-glucan-like drugs that could generate Mac-1-dependent cytotoxicity following a humoral response to tumor antigens elicited by vaccines that would cause tumors to be opsonized with Abs and iC3b in cancer immunotherapy.

OBJECTIVE To investigate and evaluate the effects of intact-bridge tympanoplasty using auricular cartilage in treating chronic otitis media. METHODS A retrospective review of 86 cases undergoing an intact-bridge tympanomastoidectomywas performed from July,2013 to May,2016.The auricular cartilage was placed on the attic and tympanic antrum entrance to reconstruct the attic. RESULTS The outcome of dry ear and well-epithelialized mastoid cavities was achieved after 4-6 weeks. After 6-month follow-up no recurrence occurred. The pure-tone average threshold improved by (25.4±6.3) dB HL after operation,and the mean air bone gap was elevated. CONCLUSION On the basis of combination of closed and open techniques,the IBM technique is a optimal cure strategy for chronic otitis media,which can not only remove the pathological changes thoroughly to prevent disease recurrence but also maximally improve the hearing of the diseased ear.The closure of attic with auricular cartilage can ensure the space of the ossicular chain.

Methods To optimize the reaction conditions of hydrolysis,pH and L-carnitine Acetyl-transferase (CAT)concentration in the assay,to evalute the assay method and to measure the serum L-carnitine of health adults ( n =63) and children ( n =56). Results The calibration curve for L-carnitine was linear between 4 81 and 150 ?mol/L( r =0 999).The inter and intra average CV were 5 52% and 5 90% in free carnitine,5 78% and 6 14% in octanoylcarnitine.The mean recovery rate was 98 5% and 98 4% respectively.This method was free from interference by bilirubin(≤120 ?mol/L),hemoglobin(≤7 g/L),and ascorbate(≤500 ?mol/L).Total and free carnitine and acylcarnitine reference range: adults (48 5?17 7) ?mol/L , (39 2?14 2) ?mol/L and (9 3?5 3) ?mol/L(male, n =32),(42 7?17 3) ?mol/L, (32 4?18 0) ?mol/L and (10 5?5 5) ?mol/L respectively(female, n =31).Children (age between 9～12 years old) (57 3?19 3) ?mol/L , (45 1?14 4) ?mol/L and (12 3?10 4) ?mol/L(male, n =31), (59 4?15 7) ?mol/L, (46 6?12 6) ?mol/L and (12 8?7 8) ?mol/L respectively(female, n =25). Conclusion The procedure is rapid,accurate and automatable,and could be used to diagnose L-carnitine deficiency,and to estimate and monitor the effect of treatments.

ObjectiveTo investigate the method of osteo-periosteal turned over orthotopically for treating chondromalacia patellae disease and observe the mid-long term efficacy postoperatively.Methods From April 1996 to June 2000,21 patients with chondromalacia patellae were treated in our hospital.Amone them,13 cases were performed osteo-periosteal turned over orthotopically,including 3 males,10 females; with the mean age of 59 years(range,47-65 years).HSS and Lysholm knee rating scale were employed to analysis the results.ResultsThe patients were followed up from 114 to 162 months(mean,133.2 months).One of the patients lost follow-up due to death.Before operation the HSS knee score was 20-58 (34.2±3.8),and 1 year,3 year,5 year,7 year,and 9 year after operation the HSS knee score were 55-70(60.0±7.0),55-82 (64.1±5.9),60-90 (70.1±3.2),50-85 (63.1±4.1),and 50-75 (57.3±2.9) respectively.And Lysholm knee rating scale also showed similar results.The chondromalacia patellae patients before and after operation were significant different.Bone periosteum transplant tissue and surrounding defective tissue healed perfectly,functions recovered perfectly.ConclusionThe method of osteo-periosteal turned over orthotopically has the capabilities to form cartilage.The therapeutic effect and facies articularis patellar is satisfactory.But it only can restore articular cartilage of patellar and does not help for genual malformation.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of enema with Chinese medicine Changduqing combined with plasma exchange for treatment of endotoxemia in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure.Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted, and 68 patients with acute-on-chronic hepatic failure who were hospitalized from January 2009 to June 2012 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were randomly divided into treatment and control groups, 34 cases in each group. The patients in control group were treated with plasma exchange combined with western medicine comprehensive treatment such as protecting liver, reducing enzyme, removing jaundice, and in cases with hepatitis B, antiviral therapy was added. The treatment in patients of treatment group was the same as that in the control group, but additionally Changduqing enema of TCM decoction was given(ingredients: radix et rhizoma ginseng 10 g, flos magnolia officinalis 6 g, radix et rhizoma rhei 6 g, fructus aurantii immaturus 6 g, radix paeoniae rubra 10 g),twice a day combined with 3-4 times of plasma exchange treatment, once every 72 hours. The course of treatment of both groups was 4 weeks. The changes of total bilirubin (TBil), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), albumin(ALB), prothrombin activity(PTA), endotoxin, the improvement of clinical symptoms and signs such as lacking in strength, poor appetite, abdominal distension, oliguria, bleeding tendency, hepatic encephalopathy, infection and ascites were observed before and after treatment, and the survival rate in 24 weeks of follow-up was also investigated.Results Before treatment, the comparisons of TBil,ALT, ALB and PTA between the two groups were of no statistically significant differences(allP>0.05); compared with those before treatment, the levels of TBil and ALT were obviously decreased, and PTA was markedly increased after treatment in both groups, the degree of change being more prominent in treatment group〔TBil(μmol/L): 89.6±52.3 vs. 124.6±64.4, ALT(U/L):52.4±32.1 vs. 98.3±42.5, PTA:(53.8±11.5)% vs.(41.2±10.2)%, allP<0.05〕. The ALB levelsbefore and after treatment of both groups showed no significant difference(bothP>0.05). After treatment, the endotoxin(kU/L) in both groups were decreased in inchoate, developing and fully-developed stages and the descent being more significant in treatment group(inchoate stage: 0.094±0.015 vs. 0.109±0.032, developingstage: 0.102±0.019 vs. 0.146±0.062, fully-developed stage: 0.124±0.022 vs. 0.196±0.074, allP<0.05). The 24-week survival rates of developing and fully-developed stages in patients of both groups were lower than the rate in patients of inchoate stage, and the rates of treatment group in inchoate and developing stages were remarkably higher than the rate in control group〔inchoate stage: 94.1%(16/17) vs. 83.3%(15/18), developed stage: 85.7%(12/14) vs. 42.9%(6/14),bothP<0.01〕.ConclusionEnema with TCM Changduqing combined with plasma exchange for treatment of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure can remove bilirubin, ameliorate endotoxemia, elevate PTA level and increase the survival rate of patients in 24 weeks of follow-up.
