Objective Currently, the effect of hydrogen peroxide solution( H2 O2 ) flush on the recovery of peripheral nerve injury are still undetermined. This study aims to explore the effects of different H2 O2 flushing time course on recovery of peripheral nerve injury during surgical debridement. Methods 18 New Zealand male white rabbits were randomly divided into isotonic saline group( isotonic saline flush) , H2 O21 min group ( hydrogen peroxide solution flush 1 min + isotonic saline flush) , H2 O23 min group ( H2 O2 flush 3 min + isotonic saline flush. Each group has 6 rabbits. We established rabbit sciatic nerve injury model. After 12 weeks, we executed the animals, drew materials at the suture nerve, detected motor nerve conduction velocity and observed pathological HE staining, as well as measuring the sciatic nerve function indexes( SFI) of rabbits at the 8th and 12th week, respectively. Results Nerve conduction velocity in H2O21min group and isotonic saline group[(25.89±1.42), (26.46±1.67) m/s] were higher than that in the H2O23min group[(23.80±2.91)m/s](P<0.05). Pathological section shows that the isotonic saline group has a better sheathstructure, nerve fibers structure damage is not obvious and myelin degeneration degree is mild in H2 O21 min group. blurred sheath structure and myelin axons obvious deformation in H2 O23 min group. 8 weeks and 12 weeks after operation, SFI in isotonic saline group [(-43.00±0.82), (-39.17±0.91) m/s] was significant higher than H2O21 min group [ (-49.79±1.47), (-46.60±0.79) m/s] and H2O23min group [(-51.66±1.27), (-46.39±0.94) m/s], thedifference was statistically significant (P<0.05). SFI in group of H2O21min [(-49.79±1.47)m/s] was higher than group og H2O23 min [(-51.66±1.27) m/s][P<0.05]. Conclusion H2O2 solution has side effect on the recovery of damaged peripheral nerve inju-ry and with prolonging the H2 O2 flushing time, the damage of peripheral nerve can be aggravated. So in the process of clinical surgical debridement, under the premise of guaranteed sterilization the time of H2 O2 flush should be shortened as far as possible.

Objective To evaluate the value of color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI) in the diagnosis of congenital coronary artery fistula (CAF).Methods Thirteen consecutive patients ranging in age from 8 to 68 years underwent conventional transthoracic echocardiography,which depicts their origin, course, and drainage site. Results Right CAFs were detected in 8 patients: four of them had drainages to the left ventricle, two to the main pulmonary artery, one to the right ventricle(RV) and the other to the right atrium(RA). CAFs arising from the left coronary artery were noted in five patients: three of them had drainages to the main pulmonary, and the other two to the RA and RV respectively. The origin and the course were precisely defined and the drainage site was clearly depicted in all thinteen patients. The diagnosis of the thirteen patients was confirmed by coronary angiography, and eight of them received surgical treatment. Conclusions CDFI offers a simple, useful and reliable technique in diagnosis of CAF.

Quorum sensing is defined as the cell density-dependent regulation of gene expression, and the involved system is the quorum sensing system, in which N-acyl homoserine lactone is known as the signal molecules of most gram-negative organisms. It can regulate diverse physiological functions. This paper reviewed the quorum sensing systems and the recent advances which play a major role in the formation of the symbiosis between the rhizobia and their host plants.

Objective To investigate the echocardiographic features in patients with right atrial myxoma and thus evaluate the value of echocardiog?raphy in the diagnosis of right atrial myxoma. Methods The echocardiographic findings of 20 patients with right atrial myxomas were retrospectively analyzed,and the echocardiographic features of these patients were summarized. Results The main clinical symptoms of right atrial myxoma includ?ed chest tightness,shortness of breath,lower limb edema,and syncope. Of these 20 patients,the echocardiography showed that the average size of the right atrial myxomas was 3.11 cm × 2.90 cm to 7.44 cm × 4.52 cm. The myxomas were round or oval shape in 15 patients(75%)and lobulated shape in 5(25%). The myxomas were attached to the atrial septum in 15 patients(75%)and to right atrial free wall in 25%of the patients. The aver?age width of the basement was 1.62±0.30 cm,and the width was greater than 1 cm in 80%of the patients had the width over 1 cm. Some myxomas had internal areas of calcification and anechoic cystic areas. The percentages of patients with the blocking of right atrium,tricuspid and pulmonary hy?pertension were 70%,50%,and 10%,respectively. Conclusion The echocardiographic features of right atrial myxoma were specific. Echocardiog?raphy can accurately assess the tumor and identify the secondary changes in cardiac structure and hemodynamics and thus provide evidence for time?ly and accurate diagnosis of right atrial myxoma.

Objective:To optimize the extraction process for the total saponins from the root of Thladiantha dubia Bunge. Meth-ods:The extraction technology was optimized by orthogonal experiment with the dissolution content of total saponins as the index and the extraction times, extraction duration and ratio of solid to liquid as the influencing factors. Results:The optimum extraction condi-tions for the total saponins from the root of Thladiantha dubia Bunge were as follows:the reflux extraction was conducted twice(1. 5 h per time) with 70% ethanol as the solvent, and the ratio of solid to liquid was 1 ∶6. Conclusion:The optimum extraction technology is simple, reproducible and stable.

Objective To analyze subclinical changes of left ventricular deformation by using two-dimensional (2-D) speckle tracking imaging (STI) in primary mitral regurgitation (MR) and to identify sensitive parameters of left ventricular deformation that reflect reduction of left ventricu-lar function after mitral valve repair.Methods We evaluated patients with primary MR who underwent mitral valve repair between May 2013 and June 2015.According to the reduction in ejection fraction (EF),the MR patients were divided into MR1 (EF reduction of ≤10%) and MR2 groups (EF reduction of >10%).The parameters of left ventricular deformation were measured by using 2-D STI.Results Compared with the MR1 group,the MR2 group had increased global longitudinal strain (GLS;P < 0.05).A positive correlation was found between postoperative EF reduction and left ventricular intemal dimension at end-diastole,left ventricular internal dimension at end-systole,end-diastohc volume,left ventricular mass index,regurgitant volume,and GLS (P < 0.05).GLS showed a diagnostic value in predicting EF reductions of > 10%.Conclusion STI is useful for evaluating the postoperative reduction of left ventricular function in primary MR patients and thus is helpful for optimizing surgical timing.
