Although chronic lateral instability of the ankle is a common disorder, there are not many reports and researches on it in China. This is because most patients with the condition do not seek a thorough cure of it and consequently surgeons pay little attention to it. In this article, we discuss some of the problems about its diagnosis, describe and compare several surgical procedures for reconstruction of the lateral ligament. We hope this paper can help surgeons know more about how to make an accurate diagnosis of the chronic lateral instability of the ankle and how to deal with it.

Background Pterygium is a relatively common eye disease,but its aetiology and pathogenesis remain uncertain.At present,the study on pterygia focuses on understanding its underlying mechanism.Objective This study was to detect the expression of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguaine (8-OHdG),a marker of oxidative damage of DNA,and bcl-2,a gene related with apoptosis,on the pterygium tissue.Methods Thirty pterygium tissue specimens were obtained during the surgery with the primary pterygium 24 cases and recurrent pterygium 6 cases.In addition,20 normal conjunctival specimens from retinal detachment surgery and strabismus surgery were collected.The expressions of 8-OHdG and bcl-2 in pterygium tissue were detected using immunochemistry and compared with the normal conjunctival tissue.The difference in the expressions of 8-OHdG and bcl-2 among different specimens was compared by x2test,and the relationship between 8-OHdG expression and bcl-2 expression was evaluated by Kappa test.Results The positive expressing rate of 8-OHdG in the pterygium tissue was 62.5％ and 83.3％ in the primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue,respectively,but the expression of 8-OHdG was absent in the normal conjunctiva tissue.No significant difference was found in the positive expressing rate of 8-OHdG between primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue(x2 =0.938,P＞0.05).The bcl-2 expressing rate was 90.0％ and 87.5％ in the primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue,respectively.However,that in the normal conjunctival tissue was absent.No significant difference was seen in the bcl-2 expression rate between primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue (x2=0.833,P ＞ 0.05).Of the 27 pterygium tissue with bcl-2 positive expression,8-OHdG showed the positive expression in 20 specimens,and 3 specimens with the bcl-2 negative response were absent reactive to 8-OHdG,showing insignificant difference between them (P＞0.05).The relationship between 8-OHdG expression and bcl-2 expression was concord in a certein extent (Kappa =0.464).Conclusions The upregulation of 8-OHdG in the pterygium tissue indicates that oxidative damage of DNA plays a role in the development of pterygium.Oxidative damage of DNA caused by ultraviolet may be an upriver factor,which induces raising up of expression of bcl-2 and inhibits the apoptosis of normal cells and further proliferation of the conjunctiva tissue,resulting in the genesis and development of pterysium.

Objective To explore the prognostic factors of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastasis. Methods 122 NSCLC patients with brain metastasis from Jan 2007 to Dec 2012 were incorporated, and followed with death as the end. The influence factors of prognosis were retrospective analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, the Log-rank test for single factor analysis,and Cox regression model for multiple factors analysis. Results The single-factor and multi-factor analysis showed that the influence factors of prognosis were age, pathological type, number of intracranial metastasis, presence of extracranial metastasis, treatment, Karnofsky score, the original site control situation (P<0.05). Gender, the size of the original site had no influence for prognosis (P>0.05). The average survival times of patients with palliative symptomatic treatment, simple whole brain radiotherapy, whole brain radiotherapy local lesion plus the amount of radiation, whole brain radiotherapy local lesion plus the amount of radiation combined with chemotherapy were (2.14 ±0.19) months, (7.28 ±0.60) months, (16.90 ±1.35) months, (17.7±1.12) months, 1 year survival rates were 0, 8.5%, 71.0%, 93.3%. Survival analysis showed that there was statistical significance among the four groups (P= 0.000). Conclusion The age, pathological type, number of intracranial metastasis, presence of extracranial metastasis, treatment, Karnofsky score, the original site control situation are the prognosis factors in NSCLC patients with brain metastasis, therefore the treatment of these patients should be comprehensively analyzed.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of astragalosideⅣ pretreatment against liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice.MethodsSixty male C57BL/6 mice were randomized into four groups (15 mice in each group):group A:sham surgery with saline injection,group B:sham surgery with astragalosideⅣ injection,group C:I/R group with saline injection,group D:I/R and astragalosideⅣ injection.Mice were pretreated by daily intraperitoneal injection of saline or astragalosideⅣ (24 mg · kg-1 · d-1 ) for one week.The mouse partial liver model of I/R injury was established,and samples were collected at the 24 h after the I/R injury.Serum ALT and AST levels were determined,the histologic changes were observed by H&E staining under the light microscopy,whereas the nuclear factor (NF)-κB was assessed with Western blotting.Serum IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ResultsSerum ALT and AST levels significantly decreased and the histological damage was significantly alleviated in astragalosideⅣ treated I/R group as compared with saline I/R group [ AST:C:(4290± 292) U/L vs.D:(2373± 416) U/L t =0.844 ; ALT:C:(4146±500) U/L vs.D:(2318±289) U/L t =7.08 P ＜0.05].In comparison with group 3,astragalosideⅣ reduced NF-κB nuclear expression.ELISA showed astragalosideⅣ significantly inhibit the levels of IL-1 β,IL-6,and TNF-α in the serum (IL-1β:t =10.04;IL-6:t =6.281;TNF-α:t =6.817; P ＜0.05).ConclusionsPretreatment with astragaloside Ⅳ effectively protect against liver ischemia/reperfusion injury in mice.
