Results Twenty-three patients were successfully treated by the mentioned methods from 1998 to 2002. A good clinical results in both function and appearance were achieved. Conclusion It is convenient and effective to treat blepharochalasis through a double eyelid fold incision.

Objective To study the relation between the pressure in forefoot and the second metatarsalgia in hallux valgus deformity, finally to quantitatively analyze the pressure under the second metatarsal head which is a dangerous factor leading to second metatarsalgia. Methods Three groups volunteered for this study by a self-devised foot pressure measurement system: fifty-eight normal subjects (116 feet) without pain and deformity in foot, thirty-two patients (45 feet) with hallux valgus and pain only under the second metatarsal head, fifty-six patients (102 feet) with hallux valgus without symptoms of metatarsalgia. The percentage of pressure to weight was the criteria for data analysis. First the pressures under second metatarsal head among three groups were compared with each other. Secondly we used case-control study to identify whether it was high pressure that was likely to result in metatarsalgia. Finally we compared the pressure interval under second metatarsal head among three groups to define the pressure interval which might be a dangerous factor to second metatarsalgia. Results 1)The pressure beneath the second meatatarsal head in patients with metatarsalgia was the highest in the three groups (P

Objective To explore the clinical significance of cytokines expression including CD11b,CD18,IL-8 and IFN-? in patients with psoriasis.Methods 55 patients with psoriases,including vulgaris,pustulosa,arthropathica and erthrodermic ones,were enrolled into the case group and 40 healthy persons as control.The expressions of CD11b,CD18 were detected by flow cytometry,while IL-8 and IFN-? with ELISA.Results The expression of CD11b,CD18,IL-8 and IFN-? in patients with psoriasis was significantly higher than those in control.Conclusions The ultra expression of CD11b,CD18,IL-8 and IFN-? might relate with the immunopathology of lymphocyte cell activation in psoriasis.This might provide the dependable basis for its treatment.

Sepsis is defined as an organ dysfunction caused by systemic inflammatory response induced by infection,and may eventually developed into multiple organ failure (MOF).The onset of sepsis often involves the activation of inflammatory cells,over expression of inflammatory cytokines,immune dysfunction,damage of tissue and organ,excessive apoptosis of cell.Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a wide range of biological activities,including anti-inflammatory,antibacterial,immune regulation,regeneration and repair of tissue and organ,anti-apoptosis,etc.In recent years,a large number of preclinical studies had demonstrated that MSCs has good actions on sepsis.The purpose of this review is to describe the mechanism of MSCs in the treatment of sepsis,and to point out the possible clinical challenges.
