Objective To explore the reconstruction effects of lower hemifascial scar by cervical skin excessive volume expansion. Methods Single 100 ml or 150 ml standard volume tissue expander was implanted under the cervical skin in 50 patients with lower hemifascial scar. After the tissue expanders were injected with 4-5 times than the designed volume, the scar was resurfaced with the expanded flap. Results The excessively expanded cervical flaps of 50 patients all were successfully used to reconstruct the facial scar. The expanded flap was matched well with surrounding skin after 3-12 months following-up. No obvious contracture was observed. The district recontrueted by expended flaps have the normal expression aetivities. Conclusion Excessive expansion of cervical skin can promote the efficiency in the reconstruction of the lower hemifascial scar.

MicroRNAs(miRNAs)are a class of small(22 nucleotides)non-coding RNAs which play important roles in diverse biological and pathological processes.The dysregulation of miRNA expression is closely related to the development and progression of malignant tumors in humans.DNA methylation is a kind of epigenetic modification in human genome.Both hypermethylation and hypomethylation of DNA are closely related to different kinds of tumors,including gastric cancer.

Objective To evaluate the BALB/c murine infective effects in different concentrations and different aerosol challenge times by Bordetella pertussis.Methods Four experiment groups according to different concentrations and different aerosol challenge times were designed.BALB/c murines were challenged by aerosol way.Group 1: 1010cfu/mL Bordetella pertussis challenge 15 min, group 2: 1010cfu/mL challenge 30 min, group 3: 109cfu/mL challenge 30 min, group 4: 1011cfu/mL challenge 30 min, using the normal saline challenge 30 min as control.At 0d,3d,7d,14d and 21d after challenge, the WBCs of all groups were measured and lung tissues were homogenized to calculate the bordetella pertussis clone in lung.Results After 3 days of challenge, WBCs in all groups were slightly increased.The WBCs of group 1, group 2, group 3 and group 4 were significantly increased after 7 days, with the average numbers of 8.52×109 per/L, 1.74×1010per/L, 1.15×1010per/L and 5×1010per/L, respectively.After 14 days, they were 1.77×1010per/L, 1.67×1010per/L, 1.27×1010per/L and 3.84×1010per/L respectively.WBCs in all groups were dramatically declined after 21 days.The WBC of negative control group had no obvious change during the whole process with the stable number of 3.4~7.0×109per/L.Bordetella pertussis were detected in lung of all experimental groups in each sampling point.The CFU in lung wase at peak at 7d or 14d after challenge, which was obviously decreased at 21d.Conclusion This aerosol challenge method can establish a bordetella pertussis infection mouse model successfully.
