Objective:To study the effect of bronchoscope lavage on the inflammatory mediators and pulmonary function of patients with refractory pneumonia.Methods:100 cases of patients with refractory pneumonia who were treated in our hospital from January 2010 to December 2015 were selected and randomly divided into two groups,the control group was treated with routine clinical treatment,and the observation group was treated with bronchoscope lavage.The curative effect and the changes of inflammatory mediators and pulmonary function of the two groups after treatment were compared.Results:After treatment,the effective rate of observation group was 90.00％(45/50),which was significantly higher than that of the control group (76.00％,38/50) (P＜0.05);the levels of endotoxin,IL-6,TNF-2 and LPO in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of both groups were significantly decreased (P＜0.05),which were decreased more significantly in the observation group (P＜0.05),the pulmonary function of both groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),which improved more significantly in the observation group(P＜0.05).Conclusions:Bronchoscope lavage had good therapeutic effect on the patients with refractory pneumonia,it could effectively reduce the level of inflammatory mediators and improve the lung function.

BACKGROUND:Recently, the clinical repair methods of irregular wound on fingers primarily include local pedicled flap and free mini-flap of upper extremities or lower extremities.
OBJECTIVE:To discuss the application of free mini-flap derived from upper limb in repairing the wound on fingers.
METHODS:From December 2010 to February 2014, 12 patients with irregular wounds on 12 fingers were selected from Department of Traumatic Orthopaedics and Hand Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, China. The size of wounds ranged from 1.5 cm × 2.0 cm to 3.0 cm × 4.5 cm with different degrees of bone or tendon exposure. After the debridement, 12 patients were treated by free mini-flaps of upper limb. The donor sites were directly sutured.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Among the 12 patients, al the wounds at recipient and donor sites were healed at stage I, and the free mini-flags survival completely. Al of patients were fol owed up for 3-6 months (average 4.5 months). Free mini-flags had good appearance and needn’t undergo secondary trimming. The active motion of fingers was improved dominantly. According to the criteria of Hand Surgery Association Society of Chinese Medical Association Society for the function evaluation of upper limb, three cases were excellent, eight were good, and only one was bad. The excellent and good rate was 91%. Free mini-flaps of upper limb are an ideal method for repair of wounds on fingers. It has no injury to normal tissue in hands, donor site is very secluded, and the short-term curative effect is good.

Objective To study how to reduce the incidence rate of skin flap necrosis after the eradicative resection of breast cancer. Methods 45 patients with breast cancer underwent eradicative operation with new methods to prevent the necrosis of skin flap,and they were studied and compared with 1210 cases treated by traditional ways. Results With the new methods adopted, the necrosis rate of skin flap following eradicative operation of breast cancer was reduced from 45%(original)to 2%(present).Statistic analysis showed that there was outstanding difference between them. Conclusion In the eradicative operation of breast cancer,the key to prevent the necrosis rate of skin flap is:prevention of subaxillary lymphatic fistula, two tubular drainage set individually in subcostalis and subaxillaris, appropriate force of chest bandaging, proper thickness of skin flap and perfect suture without tension.

Objective To investigate dexamethasone on airway inflammation and CD4+ CD25 + regulatory T cells (CD4+ CD25 +Tr) of asthmatic rats,and elucidate the possible mechanism of dexamethasone in treatment of asthma.Methods 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group,asthma group and dexamethasone-treated group.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected,and cytology study was conducted.The lung tissue was obtained and pathologic analysis was done through HE stain.Flow eytometry was used to detect the CD4+ CD25 +Tr ratio in PBMCs.Results Total cells number,the percentage of lymphocytes,neutrophils and eosinophils (Eos)in BALF of dexamethasone-treated group were lower than that of asthma group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the asthma group,less infiltration of inflammatory cells in lung tissues was observed in the dexamethasone-treated group.CD4+ CD25 + Tr of asthma group was lower than that of control and dexamethasone-treated group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Dexamethasone could suppress airway inflammation of asthmatic rats,which probably be due to increasing the number of CD4+ CD25 + Tr.

Purpose To study the expression of HNF-1β in different type ovarian carcinoma and to explore the diagnostic value of HNF-1β in the diagnosis of ovarian clear cell carcinoma. Methods Immunohistochemical EnVision method was used to detect the ex-pression of HNF-1βin 27 clear cell carcinomas, 35 high-grade serous carcinomas, 21 endometrioid adenocarcinoma, 10 mucious carci-nomas, 13 metastatic Krukenberg tumors, and 2 transitional carcinomas. Results All of ovarian clear cell carcinomas variably ex-pressed HNF-1β and the positive rate of HNF-1β in ovarian cleat cell carcinoma was 85. 2%. Of 21 ovarian serous carcinomas, the nuclear positive of HNF-1β was 4 and HNF-1βpositive rate was 2. 9%. There was 5 HNF-1βexpression in endometrioid adenocarci-noma and the positive rate of HNF-1β was 23. 8%. The positive rate of HNF-1β in mucious carcinoma and metastatic Krukenberg tumor was 60. 0% and 53. 8%, respectively. No HNF-1βexpression was seen in transtional cell carcinoma. The sensitivity and speci-ficity of HNF-1β in the diagnosis of ovarian clear cell carcinoma was 85. 2% and 76. 5%. Conclusions HNF-1β may be a higher sensitive marker for the diagnosis of ovarian clear cell carcinoma. The diffuse and strong positive of HNF-1βmay have higher specific for diagnosis of ovarian clear cell carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate clinical effects of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine therapy for epilepsy after stroke. Methods Literatures about the treatment of epilepsy after stroke with the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine which come from the database such as CNKI, VIP, WanFang and Pubmed, were studied and all the randomized controlled trials on comparing therapeutic effects of treating epilepsy between combined treatment of TCM and western medicine and western medicine were enrolled. The Cochrane Collaboration's software RevMan 5 was used for meta-analysis. Results 7 articles were included in the study, there is homogeneity among these articles(P>0.05), The fixed effect model was used for the meta analysis. the combined results were OR=5.17, 95%CI(3.02, 8.82), the overall effect of test Z=6.01, P<0.01, the difference between the treatment group and the control groups was significant, that means the overall effect of the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine treatment was better than western medicine treatment; Funnel plot graphic displayed asymmetrically, which indicated the literatures publication bias. Conclusion The current data indicate that the curative effect of TCM and west medicine combined treatment is better than pure western medicine therapy for epilepsy after stroke, but as the literature publication bias, clinical studies need more high quality large samples to prove this conclusion.
