Objective To investigate the effect of mixed-skin grafting with autologous microskin and allogenetic acellular dermal matrix microskin on wound healing in rats,and to make a further study on the related mechanism.Methods Wistar rats were served as a allogenetic acellular dermal matrix donor rats,and SD rats as acceptors with mould of full thickness skin defects on their back.The ninety SD rats were divided into 5 groups with 18 rats in each group.Group 1 was transplanted with autologous microskin,and group 2 with allogenetic acellular dermal matrix microskin.Groups 3,4 and 5 were grafted with mixed-skin ratio between autologous microskin and allogenetic acellular dermal matrix microskin 1 ∶ 1,1 ∶ 0.5 and 1 ∶ 0.25,repectively.The rate of wound healing was measured,wound samples collected,hematoxylin and eosin stain carried out,fibronectin (FN) and laminin (LN)detected,and intergroup comparison made,respectively,2,3 and 4 weeks after skin grafting.Results The wound healing rates and FN and LN expression of mixed-skin grafting groups were higher than those of the group with autologous microskin grafting.The group of 1 ∶ 0.25 obviously increased (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusions The wound healing rate with mixed-skin grafting is higher than that with autologous microskin grafting.The best effect is achieved when the skin ratio between autologous microskin and allogenetic acellular dermal matrix microskin is 1 ∶ 0.25.It is possibly due to the increase of FN and LN on wound skin surface.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate therapeutic effect of the needle-knife closed solution combined with minor adjusting of spine for treatment of neck-shoulder syndrome.

METHODSFrom April 2010 to August 2011,120 patients with neck-shoulder syndrome were treated with the needle-knife closed solution combined with minor adjusting of spine, and included 45 males and 75 females and aged from 40 to 68 years old. The disease course was from 3 days to 10 years. After the operation, all patients taken the medicine of activating blood circulation herbs. At the 3rd, 7th, 10th day after operation, spinal rotation massage was performed on these patients. After the healing of the needle points, traditional Chinese medicine herb fumigation was applied on the needle points, and the patients were directed to do the cervical spine exercise. Therapeutic effect of the patients was evaluated by the neck disability index (NDI).

RESULTSAll patients were followed up after 3 weeks' treatment. The pain of neck-shoulder was relieved, and the range of motion was improved,the NDI score lowered from 49.30 +/- 1.35 before treatment to 10.15 +/- 1.18 at 3 weeks after treatment (t = 2.116, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe needle-knife closed solution combined with minor adjusting of spine for the treatment of neck-shoulder syndrome can relieve the pain in the neck-shoulder and improved the motion of the neck. The key for the effect is accurate location before operation, sufficient adhesion solution during the operation and spinal minor adjusting after operation.

Objective The purpose of our study was to investigate three dimensional dynamic contrast enhanced MR angiography(3D DCE M RA) in the detection of portosystemic collateral circulation in the falciform ligament in patients with portal hypertension. Methods From April 2003 to July 2008, 53 portal hypertension patients with varices in the falciform ligament were evaluated with 3D DCE MRA.Two radiologists independently assessed the number, diameter, location and drainages of the portosystemic collateral circulation in the falciform ligament according to the information on the 3D DCE MRA.Results The veins in the falciform ligament were classified into the superior and inferior groups, and both groups arise from the left trunk of the portal vein.In our study, the number of varices detected on 3D DCE MRA images varied from 1 to 3, and the diameters of these vessels varied from 0.4 to 2.6 cm.The inferior group consisted of paraumbilical/umbilical veins (47 cases), which flowed toward umbilicus and then drained upwards (n = 16) including deep superior epigastric veins (n = 7), superficial superior epigastric veins (n = 9), downwards (n = 40) including deep inferior epigastric veins (n = 7), superficial inferior epigastric veins (n = 33), or upwards and downwards at the same time (n = 9).The superior group of vessels in the falciform ligament were directly anastomosed with the internal thoracic vessels (n = 6).Conclusion In patients with portal hypertension, 3D DCE MRA can optimally demonstrate the portosystemic collateral circulation in the falciform ligament, which includes the superior and inferior drainage groups.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of three dimensional dynamic contrast enhanced MRA(3D DCE MRA)on esophageal and gastric varices compared with endoscopy.Methods From April 2003 to June 2008,153 patients with portal hypertension who underwent both 3D DCE MRA and endoscopy were reviewed retrospectively.All the patients were divided into bleeding group and non-bleeding group according to the clinical symptoms.The location and degree of the esophagogastric varices on 3D DCE MRA were assessed with postprocessing images,including subtraction,MIP and thin-slab maximum intensity projection(thin-MIP),and were compared with the results of endoscopy.The maximum,minimum and mean diameters of esophagogastric varices inside and outside of the wall were measured on the reformed images.The correlation between the findings of 3D DCE MRA and endoscopy were analyzed with Spearman rank correlation coefficient test The rates of esophagogastric varices outside of the wall in bleeding and non-bleeding group were compared by means of Chi-square test Results In bleeding group,severe esophageal varices were documented in 59 patients,moderate in 6 patients,mild in 5 patients;in non-bleeding group,severe esophageal varices were documented in 32 patients,moderate in 4 patients,mild in 5 patients.Severe,moderate,and mild gastric varices were documented in 28,34 and 16 in bleeding group,while they were 7,12 and 9 in non-bleeding group.Esophageal and gastric varices can be wholly presented on MIP images after subtraction,while the esophagogastric varices inside and outside of the wall can be differentiated on thin-MIP images.The location and degree of esophagogastric varices on 3D DCE MRA were correlated with the findings of the endoscopy.The range of r was from 0.544 to 0.878(P＜0.01).In 91 patients with severe esophageal varices,27 patients presented outside esophageal varices in bleeding group(n=59)and 24 patients presented outside esophageal varices in non-bleeding group(n=32).There was a significant difference in ratio of outside esophageal varices between bleeding group and nonbleeding group(X~2=7.199,P＜0.01).In 35 patients with severe gastric varices,22 patients showed adventitial gastric varices in bleeding group(n=28)and 4 patients showed adventitial gastric varices in non-bleeding group(n=7).The ratio of adventitial gastric varices in bleeding group was not significantly different from that of non-bleeding group(P=0.340).Conclusions 3D DCE MRA can display and differentiate the esophagogastric varices both inside and outside of the wall by three dimensional reconstruction.The results of 3D DCE MRA and endoscopy have good correlation.It is of importance in evaluating the esophageal varices outside of the wall,because they may indicate decreased risk of haemorrhage in patients with severe degree of esophageal varices.

At present, the objective of cutting and pruning Cistanche deserticola is to harvest in successive years and enhance the harvesting yield and quality of C. deserticola in the process of the artificial cultivating C. deserticola. An experiment was conducted focusing on cutting and pruning C. deserticola in artificial forests of Haloxylon ammodendron drip-irrigated with saline water at the hinter-land of the Taklimakan desert, according to different growth stages and lengths. The results were following: (1) The effect of cutting on C. deserticola was similar to that of pruning, which resulted in three kinds of morphological types, not related to the bloom and size of C. deserticola. (2) The growth forms were diversified after pruning. Among them, there had sprouting new body, died or maintaining life with no sprouting, mildewed on its surface layer, etc. However, some of new bodies were sprouting from the lower part of the old body. The death rate of bloomed C. deserticola was higher than that of the underground, and the death rate of the 40 cm in stubble height for C. deserticola was higher than those with the stubble height of 20 cm and 5 cm. (3) Most of the diameter of living C. deserticola after pruning was increasing, but some of them changed little. (4) The mildew and rot of C. deserticola and the broken of the roots of the H. ammodendron and the fallen of the point of the inoculated when it was dug, which would cause the death of the C. deserticola. On the other, the yield-increasing effect and the economic benefit of the techniques of the pruning of Cistanche would need further research and evaluate. Therefore, the application of this technique needs to be cautious.
