Objective To introduce a new surgical method of reconstructing A ch illes tendon by transfer of the soleus tendon flap. Methods The method was desig ned on the basis of the anatomical characteristics of the superficial muscles as sociated with Achilles tendon. It was applied to treat 12 patients with Achilles tendon defects. These patients were followed up for 0.5 to 6 years (average 39 months). Results The curative effect of the method were assessed according to Ar ner-Lindholms evaluation criteria. 9 cases were rated as excellent, 2 fine an d 1 poor, with the total excellent and fine rate being 92%. Conclusions ①Misdi agnosis and improper initial treatment are the major causes of Achilles tendon d efects. ②Systematic training after operation is very important for good curativ e effects. ③The method mentioned above brings about less trauma, less negative effects on blood supply to Achilles tendon, and good healing after operation.

Objective To explore the clinical manifestations of toxic epidermal necrolysis(TEN) and its rare pulmonary complications.Methods Clinical symptoms,treatment and prognosis of 1 child with TEN caused by carbamazepine were analyzed.Radiological images were reviewed to evaluate the manifestations and the outcome of chronic pulmonary complications associated with TEN.Results The patient had high fever shortly after a dosage increment of carbamazepine.A confluent erythematous exanthema developed rapidly into painful blistering with skin erosion,denudation and involvement of conjunctive and oropharyngeal mucosa.The diagnosis of TEN was made.The mucocutaneous damage was gradually recovered with steroid plus intravenous immunoglobulin for 3 weeks.However,the patient presented with respiratory failure in the recovery phase of TEN.The computer tomography revealed pulmonary bullae and pneumothorax in the right lung.Lung parenchyma was squeezed and pulmonary bullae ruptured with pneumothorax and atelectasis,which were absorbed gradually through thoracic drainages.The patient′s lung function and pulmonary bullae were partly improved during a 7-month follow-up.Conclusions TEN is a severe form of blistering skin di-sease which is characterized by an extensive loss of epidermis and mucous membrane.Chronic pulmonary complications may occur in recovery phase of TEN.Pulmonary bullae,which might be caused by mucous damage and respiratory obstruction,is a rare complication of TEN.

Objective To explore the effects of BCG and Poly I:C co-vaccination on the development of spleen T cell subsets of neonatal BALB/c mice. Methods Neonatal BALB/c mice were inoculated with BCG and/or Poly I:C intraperitoneally within 2-3 d after birth. Four weeks later, spleen cells of mice were isolated and the percentage of CD3+ CD8+ IFN-γ+,CD3+ CD8-IFN-γ+,CD3+ CD8+ IL-4+,CD3+ CD8- IL-4+,CD4+ Foxp3+ T cells,which represent Tc1,TH1,Tc2,TH2,Treg cells,respectively,were tested by flow cytometry at single cell level,and the ratios of TH 1/TH 2 and Tc1/Tc2 were calculated. Results The percentages of TH1 and Tc1 cells of BCG-vaccinated mice,Poly I:C-vaccinated mice and BCG plus Poly I:C-vaccinated mice were significantly higher than that of control mice(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and there was no difference among the three vaccinated group. The ratios of TH1/TH2 and total IFN-γ/IL-4 of the three vaccinated groups were higher than that of control group,but not the ratio of Tc1/Tc2. The TH1/TH2 ratio of BCG plus Poly I:C-vaccinated group was higher than that of BCG-vaccinated group(P＜0.05).The percentages of Trge cells showed no difference among the four groups(P＞0.05). Conclusion BCG and Poly I:C co-vaccination can significantly increase the number of Tc1 and TH 1 cells and TH 1/TH2 ratio in spleen cells. BCG and Poly I:C vaccination may have a synergistic effect on TH 1/TH2 ratio of spleen cells in neonataI mice. The percentage of CD4+ Foxp3+ T cells among four groups showed no significant difference.

Objective To investigate the effects of curcumin on H2O2-induced the production of nitric oxide(NO) and reactive oxygen species(ROS) in mouse embryo-fibroblast.Methods Macrophage were collected in abdominal cavity of 6-8 weeks Kunming mouse,cultured macrophage(2?108 L-1) were divided into control group and curcumin groups randomly.Macrophage in H2O2 group were added into a single bolus of H2O2(1 mmol?L-1) for 30 min,macrophage in curcumin group were preincubated with different concentration of curcumin for 2 h followed by a 30 min incubation with 1 mmol?L-1 H2O2 and macrophage in control group were added into the same volume(0.1 mL) of 9 g?L-1 so-dium chloride.Immunocytochemistry was used to measure the contents of inducible nitric-oxide synthase(iNOS),NO production was determined by Griess reactive,ROS was determined by DCFH-DA Fluorescence proe.Results The production of NO in control group was little.The production of NO in H2O2 group markly highter than that in control group(P

AIM: To study the determination of dl-tetrahydropalmatine (THP) in Chi nese traditional patent medicines by TLC-Scanning from the viewpoint of the pro cess control of manufacture. METHODS: To select the 5 kinds of representative drugs and its prep arations contained, THP was extracted with solvent method. The mobile phase contains diethylamine. THP w as separated with high-efficiency silica gel plate or handcrafted silica gel p late. Iodine was used for chronogenic agent and fluorescence defectiion for dete rmination. TLC-Scanning results were compared with HPLC. RESULTS: The method is practicable, the result is correlative with the HPLC. CONCLUSION: TLC-Scanning is fit for the quality control of the Chi nese traditional patent medicine in the process of manufacture.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features of FIGO stage Ⅰ uterine Müllerian adenosarcoma and clinical prognosis. Methods: Fifteen cases of uterine Müllerian adenosarcoma at FIGO stage Ⅰ were collected at PLA General Hospital from 2005 to 2017. Twelve cases with complete follow-up data were divided into 2 groups: group A (7 patients with survival) and group B(5 patients of death or tumor progression). Clinicopathologic features were compared between the two groups. Results: The median age of the patients was 43 years and 56 years, and the tumor size was 4.3 cm and 7.3 cm for group A and B, respectively. Cases in group A were FIGO ⅠA and ⅠB stage tumors and were mainly low grade in histology (5/7) with rare tumor hemorrhagec, necrosis (1/7) and sarcomatous overgrowth. In contrast, most cases in group B were high grade sarcomas(3/5) with frequent hemorrhage, necrosis(3/5) and sarcomatous overgrowth(4/5). Most cases of group A expressed ER, PR and CD10 (6/7) and low Ki-67 index of ≤20%(5/7). While most group B cases lost expression of ER and PR (3/5), significantly reduced expression of CD10 and higher Ki-67 index of ≥30%(4/5). Conclusions Most of uterine adenosarcomas are of low malignant potential. The main prognostic indicator is advanced tumor stage. For patients at stage Ⅰ, sarcomatous overgrowth, high-grade histology, deep myometrial invasion, decreased or absent expression of CD10, ER and PR, increased Ki-67 index(≥30%) and hemorrhagic necrosis may indicate poor prognosis. Müllerian adenosarcomas arising from endomeriosis may present unusual growth patterns.

Objective To investigate the effects of silybin-phosphatidylcholine compound (SPC) on H2O2-induced the production of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mouse macrophage.Methods Macrophage were collected in abdominal cavity of 6-8 week Kunming mouse,and cultured macrophage(2?108 L-1) were divided into control and SPC group randomly.Macrophage in control group were added into the same volume(0.1 mL) of 9 g/L sodium chloride.Macrophage in H2O2 group were added into a single bolus of H2O2 (1 mmol/L H2O2) for 30 min,while macrophage in SPC group were preincubated with different concentration of SPC for 2 h followed by a 30 min incubation with 1 mmol/L H2O2.Immunocytochemistry were used to measure the contents of inducible nitric-oxide synthase(iNOS),NO production was determined by Griess reactive, ROS was determined by DCFH-DA Fluorescence probe.Results The production of NO in H2O2 group markedly higher than that in control group(P
