[Objective] Systematic review was carried out in quality analysis of literature of Shuang Huanglian Injection (SHI) for acute respiratoiy infections ( ARI) . [Methods] Database was set up according to the principles of clinical epidemiology and evidence-based medicine and the evaluation scale for ARI. The data was managed by descriptive analysis and uniformity test. [Results] In 49 clinical reports, 42.16% adopted the randomized and controlled method but the quality was not so good; the criteria of inclusion and exclusion was absent or not standardized in most of the reports; blinded method was adopted scarcely; drop-out and missed cases were rarely mentioned while adverse effects were reported usually. [Conclusion] The design of clinical study of SHI for ARI has been improved in recent years but there is still a lot of inadequany.

Objective To investigate changes of brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP)and somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) in patients with acute cerebral infarction,and discuss their relation with prognosis of the patients.Methods The study involved 60 patients with acute cerebral infarction.Changes of BAEP and SEP in each patient were detected and recorded continuously.Prognosis evaluation was performed by using GCS.Another 60 age-matched and gender-matched healthy human beings were enrolled as controls.Results Incubation period of BAEP wave Ⅰ had no significant difference between the cerebral infarction and control groups (P ＞ 0.05).However,interspike intervals of other BAEP waves in cerebral infarction group were different from those in control group (P ＜ 0.05).A series of waves of SEP (P14-N60) were all significantly prolonged in cerebral infarction group (P ＜0.05).Conclusion BAEP and SEP can effectively reflect function of brain stem in patients with acute cerebral infarction and have some values in determining their prognosis.

Objective To investigate factors influencing islet isolation and purification in dogs and to explore how to obtain massive purified viable islets from canine pancreas.To provide experimental evidence for pancreatic islet transplantation in clinical practice.Methods Islets were isolated from pancreas of 22 dogs by modified automated techniques,followed by purification using continuous density gradients.The purity of islets was determined by dithizone (DTZ) staining,and the function of islets was evaluated by glucose stimulating insulin release test.Results The crude islets yield was ( 155 040 ±310) IEQ/pancreas while the yield was (74 200 ±185) IEQ/pancreas after purification.The average purity was (89.4 ±2.6) ％.The recovery rate was(47.8 ±1.3) ％.Islet viability was(93.0 ± 1.7)％.The modified techniques improved both the yield and the quality in islet isolation and purification.The islets were morphologically intact after purification.Glucose stimulating insulin release test showed that the difference of the secreted insulin concentration had statistical significance ( P ＜0.001 ) between low concentration glucose group and high concentration glucose group.Conclusion It is of great value for clinical research to obtain enough islets through islet isolation and purification in dogs.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of reduced glutathione(GSH) on expression of malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) after focal cerebral infarction in rats.MethodsRat models of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) were estabilished with thread after 2-hour ischemia and 6-hour reperfusion.Rats were divided at random into three groups,i.e.,sham-operated,control and treatment group(with GSH 1200 mg/kg) respectively.After the rats model was performed,neurology deficit score,the size of brain infarct region and the change of brain tissue pathologic were evaluated.Contents of MDA and activity of SOD and GSH-PX were detected with spectrophotometer.ResultsCompared with the control group,GSH can ameliorate neurological deficit score and decrease infarct volume induced by MCAO.GSH may reduce contents of MDA and improve activity of SOD and GSH-PX in brain tissue.ConclusionGSH may reduce contents of MDA and improve activity of SOD and GSH-PX so as to enhance capability of eliminating oxygen free radical,and play a neuroprotective effect after cerebral focal ischemia reperfusion.

Objective To analyze the status, changing trends and determinants of mental health of migrant adolescents in junior high schools. Methods All of the data came from China Education Panel Survey (CEPS). CEPS baseline survey was conducted during the 2013-2014 school year by using a stratified multistage probability sampling design. 10 279 nationally representative adolescents from the seventh grade in junior high schools were enrolled in the base school year of data collection and 9 449 participants were followed up at the second wave of data collection during the 2014-2015 school year. Our analytic sample (n=1 645) included all the migrant adolescents who had valid data on mental health. Based on CEPS self-reported mental health scale, t-test method and multivariate linear regression model were used to examine the determinants of mental health of migrant adolescents by performing univariate analysis and multivariate analysis. Results The baseline mental health score of migrant adolescents was (8.33±3.31), higher than that of non-migrant adolescents, and significantly increased to (8.60±3.79) in the follow-up school year. 43.3% of participants had negative mental status at higher frequency as time went on. Sex, cognitive skills, co-residence arrangements, numbers of siblings and school rankings were significant influencing factors for mental health score of migrant adolescents. Conclusions The mental health status of migrant adolescents are more vulnerable than that of non-migrant adolescents and continue deteriorating. Among migrant adolescents, female, those with weak cognitive skills, those who do not live with both parents, those who are not only children and those in schools ranking medium and above are more likely to have a poor mental health state.

OBJECTIVETo compare therapeutic effects between arthroscopic medial retinaculum plication and plaster external fixation for the treatment of acute patellar dislocation.

METHODSFrom February 2006 to October 2012,29 patients with acute patellar dislocation were divided into two groups: operation group and non-operation group. The patellar dislocation duration was 2 weeks. In operation group, there were 7 males and 10 females, with an average age of (16.2 ± 6.2) years old, and the patients were treated with arthroscopic medial retinaculum plication. In non-operation group, there were 5 males and 7 females,with an average age of (16.3 ± 5.0) years old,and the patients were treated with plaster external fixation. The Kujala scores, patellar tilt angle measured on CT film, apprehension test and recurrence rate of patellar instability were observed before and 1 year after treatment.

RESULTSIn operation group, the pre-treatment and post-treatment patellar tilt angles had no statistical difference, but the post-treatment Kujala score was lower than that of pre-treatment; while in non-operation group, the post-treatment patellar tilt angle was larger than that of pre-treatment, and the post-treatment Kujala score was lower than that of pre-treatment. At 1 year after treatment, the patellar tilt angle (21.2 ± 5.3) of patients in non-operation group was larger than (13.5 ± 3.5) of operation group, and the Kujala score 73.3 ± 10.5 of patient in non-operation group was lower than 84.1 ± 5.6 of operation group.

CONCLUSIONDuring 1 year after operation, arthroscopic medical retinaculum plication is a more effective treatment for acute patellar dislocation compared with plaster external fixation.

OBJECTIVETo develop and evaluate the application of the facial minimally invasive fat granules injection device with controlled pressure and quantity.

METHODSDue to the requirement of facial fat grafting (small volume, precision, high pressure), we developed the integrated device with handheld controller and motor. From Nov. 2013 to Mar. 2015, 50 cases who underwent facial fat transplantation were selected to receive facial fat grafting with the device on the right side and with conventional syringe on the left side as control. The clinical effect was assessed by patients, surgeon and one from the third party. The intraoperative pain, injection difficulty, postoperative swelling and hruising, complications and overall satisfactory were recorded. Pain intensity was assessed using digital classification method ( NRS). Therapeutic effect was evaluated using Likert 5 points scoring method. Chi-square test, Wilcoxon test and one-way ANOVA were used for statistical analysis.

RESULTSThe device has the advantages of minimal designed and easily handling. The injection speed is 7.2 mm/s with the fat injection volume as precise as 0.04 ml/s (0.0056 m/mm). Among the 50 cases, the excellent and good effect were achieved in 90% (45/50) on the right face, and 78% (39/50) on the left face (Z = -4.285, P < 0.01). Local nodes happened in 7 cases on left face, while none on the right face (χ² = 6.57, P < 0.05). Petechiae occurred in 21 cases on right face and 45 cases on left face (χ² = 5.37, P < 0.05). Pain was assessed as 3.7 ± 1.1 points on the right sides, and 5.2 ± 0.7 points on the left sides (F = 17.405, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSThe facial minimally invasive fat granules injection device with controlled pressure and quantity has the advantages of easily handling, precisely controlled quantity with hotter effect, less pain and complication.

Objective To probe the definition of cicateicial cryptotia and its plastic and reconstructive surgery.Methods Local skin flaps combined with full-thickness skin graft by zonation grafting technique were used to treat twenty-six patients with thirty-three cicateicial cryptotia.A cicateicial adhesion between auricle and cranial wall and mastoidea was removed,cranioaural angle was reformed,and helix and auricular lobule were reconstructed.Results All skin flaps survived,and the survival rate of skin grafts reached over 95 ％.The appearance of auricle was very good,its major constructions might be noted,and cranioaural angle nearly returned to normal.The follow-up results from three months to one year post-operation showed that the appearance of auricle kept well,and the patients felt satisfactory.Conclusions In view of deformity characteristics of cicateicial cryptotia,it might be an effective approach to treat cicateicial cryptotia to take a seris of appropriate surgical procedures.

Objective To summarize the experience of emergency treatment and cosmetic repair of facial trauma.Methods The clinical materials of 584 wounds from 291 cases of facial trauma,recruited in hospital from January 2010 to August 2012,were summed up retrospectively.The principles of medical aesthetics and plastic and cosmetic surgery were followed.A high pressure douching technique was employed to carry out thorough debridement,but occasion of the debridement did not emphasize with intensive attention.A wound without skin and soft tissue defect was sutured accurately according to tissue zonation with a new suture technique,and the needle distance or side distance was limited in 0.2 cm to 0.3 cm.Otherwise,the wound was repaired by full-thickness skin graft or various flaps according to the repair principle ofrather near than further,rather simple than complicated.Attention was paid to rehabilitation care.Results After debridement,328 wounds were sutured directly,147 wounds were repaired by full-thickness skin grafting and 109 wounds by various flaps.A total of 571 wounds healed on the first stage,and the healing rate reached 97.8％.The wounds were in satisfactory apposition and without obvious cicatrix.Five senses did not appear in malposition and deformity.The other 13 wounds did not heal because of bad taking of skin grafts and flaps or wound splitting.Among them,4 wounds were repaired by second operation,and 9 wounds healed by changing dressings.By means of rehabilitation care,scar hyperplasia and pigmentation appeared slightly in those 13 wounds.A total of 454 wounds from 217 cases were followed up.The results showed good appearance and slight cicatrix hyperplasia,a pigmentation in different degree appeared in 11 wounds covered by skin grafting.In addition,eyebrow excalation,auricle excalation or total lose appeared in 12 cases.Conclusion During treating emergency cases of facial injuries,if an idea cosmetic repair of traumais followed,the theory of aesthetics and the techniques of plastic and cosmetic surgery are fully used,a multiple-discipline cooperation is brought into full play,and a prompt and accurate treatment is put into practice,the aim of cosmetic repair would come true.

The silk gland of silkworm is the organ of silk protein synthesis and secretion. According to the morphological and functional differences, silk gland can be divided into anterior silk gland (ASG), middle silk gland (MSG) and posterior silk gland (PSG). ASG is the place for silk proteins conformation changes although it cannot synthetize silk proteins. ASG has narrow luminal structures and rigid wall which consists of chitin and cuticle proteins so that it can provide the shearing force which plays an important role in the silk protein conformation changes. The objective of this study is to identify the new chitin binding proteins in ASG of silkworm (Bombyx mori), and to analyze their expression patterns in different tissues. We identified a cuticle protein with chitin binding domain Bml1721 (GenBank Accession No. NM-001173285.1) by chitin affinity chromatography column. We also expressed the recombinant protein as inclusion body using the prokaryotic expression system, and then successfully purified the recombinant protein by nickel affinity chromatography column to generate the polyclonal antibodies. The expression patterns analysis in various tissues showed that both in transcriptional and protein levels Bm11721 was specifically expressed in ASG. Furthermore, the expression level of Bm 11721 protein was unchanged during the 5th instar. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that Bm1 1721 was located in the ASG inner membrane. It is proposed that Bm11721 is a component of inner membrane and probably provides the shearing force for conformational changes.
