Pancreatic abscess(PA)is the most serious complication of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP),which can lead to systemic and/ or local complications,and even death. PA cannot be resolved automatically after the formation. Once diagnosed,early drainage,anti-infection and nutrition support should be undertaken,the most important is early drainage. In the past,the treatment of PA was mainly based on surgical treatment. With the development of minimally invasive techniques,endoscopic ultrasound(EUS)guided drainage and percutaneous catheter drainage(PCD)offer a new way for the treatment of PA. Preventing and early diagnosis of PA become a challenge in the treatment of SAP. This article reviewed the progress in diagnosis and treatment of SAP complicated with PA.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the features and application of tissue engineered biomaterials in repairing femur defects, and to search an optimal femur substitution.METHODS: Papers published between January 1993 and October 2009 were searched using computer with key words of "tissue engineering, femur defect, mesenchymal stem cells, cytokines and materials" both in English and Chinese. Documents addressing biomaterials and tissue engineered bone in repairing femur defects were included. Repetitive research or Meta analysis was excluded. After that, 21 literatures were selected to discuss the features and application of tissue engineered biomaterials in repairing femur defects.RESULTS: Stem cells technology is obtaining seed cells from myeloid tissues, amplifying in vitro, combining with scaffold material, and in vitro constructing tissue engineered bones. The cultured cells could maintain osteoblast biological characteristics and fully fused with bone tissues at recipient sites, simultaneously, avoid immunological rejection. The combination of materials or modify the material surface could promote cells adhere to materials and increase the cellular biological activity. When transfecting seed cells to bone defect areas using certain carriers, the transplanted calls could form new bones and secret bone growth factor, induce determined osteogenic precursor cells differentiated into inducible ostegenic precursor cells, thereby, fasten the bone healing. The composite materials prepared by three-dimensional virtual surgical simulation and computer numerical control exhibited advantages of composite materials and histological anatomy conjunction, which had perfect appearance.CONCLUSION: Currently, there is no material can fully meet the requirement of bone tissue engineering. Thus, promoting adhesion between cells and materials, increasing cellular biological activity, and maintaining biological functions by combing materials or modifying material surface are the research focuses.

Due to its effectiveness and specificity,RNA interference (RNAi) technology is widely used in the treatment of tumor,viral infectious and metabolic diseases.Noninvasively tracing the delivery of therapeutic RNA molecules in vivo and evaluating the therapeutic effects are important to promote the clinical application of RNAi technology.Molecular imaging allows noninvasive visualization of biological processes at the cellular and molecular level in vivo.It can be used to monitor the biodistribution of therapeutic RNA molecules and to assess the effects of the RNAi.This article reviews the advance of molecular imaging in monitoring the delivery of RNAi molecules and evaluating the therapeutic effects of RNAi.

Patients with ataxia-telangiectasia ( A-T) syndrome were charachaterized by profound hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation in clinic. Many studies have shown that this hypersensitivity possibly attributed to ATM gene whose critical compartment was ATM kinase. So inhibitors of the ATM kinase such as caffeine, pentoxifylline, methyl xanthines and 7-hydroxystaurosporine (UCN-01) were developed and have achieved a few encouraging results in basic and clinical stuides.

In this experiment, we studied the effects of rhIL-3, rhlFN-r and DMSO on the growth and differentiation of the human leukemia cell line HL-60. The results showed that three agents were capable of suppressing the proliferation of the HL-60 cells and inducing terminal differentiation of the cells, with the exception of early augmentation of the cell growth by the rhIL-3. The differentiation effect was most obvious in DMSO treated cells, then in rhIL-3 and least in rhIFN-r The enhanced effects occurred when the HL-60 cells were treated in combination with DMSO and rhIL-3 or rhIFN-r

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of voluntary smoke-free policies in Beijing.Methods With convenient sampling,91 restaurants and 85 restaurants were respectively selected before and after the initiation on voluntarily banning smoking in public eating and drinking places by the catering industry in Beijing,and including a follow-up surveillance on 23 restaurants.Field investigation on smoke-free rules and PM2.5 monitoring in and outside of these restaurants were conducted.Results There were no statistic differences among the proportion of restaurants with different smoking policies(?2=2.60,P=0.28).Univariate analysis showed that the indoor PM2.5 level was positively related with the outdoor PM2.5 level(?=0.51,t=7.01,P

Objective To study the relationship between balance function and attention in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD),and guide the clinical intervention and training of ADHD.Methods The Tetrax balance system and the CPT were conducted among 124 ADHD children (age 6.0-14 years) and the normal controls.Results (1) The balance function was different between ADHD and normal controls.In junior grade of elementary school,the Fourier score of ADHD children was significantly higher than that of the normal control group in F1,F2-F4 and F5-F6 (P＜0.05).In senior grade of elementary school,the Fourier score of ADHD children was significantly higher than normal controls in F2-F4 and F5-F6 (P＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference between ADHD and normal controls in junior high school.(2) There was correlation between balance function and attention in children with ADHD.In junior grade of elementary school,the full scale attention quotient was negatively correlated with F2-4,F5-6,F7-8 (P=0.018,0.009,0.010; rs =-0.146,-0.203,-0.189),and the visual attention quotient were negatively correlated with F1,F2-4,F7-8 (P =0.043,0.039,0.046 ; r s =-0.062,-0.071,-0.112).In senior grade of elementary school,the full scale attention quotient was negatively correlated with F5-6,F7-8 (P=0.015,0.033; rs =-0.217,-0.172),and the visual attention quotient were negatively correlated with F1,F7-8(P=0.037,0.045; rs =-0.051,-0.101).In junior high school,the negative correlation was existed between the visual attention quotient with F7-8 (P=0.038,r s =-0.114).Conclusion ADHD children have deficit balance.The balance function of ADHD children matures gradually.There is internal connection between balance and attention,especially for visual attention.
