OBJECTIVETo discuss the efficacy of the myogenic elephant skin cream combining with VSD for treating severe bedsores.

METHODSTwenty-nine cases of III and IV degree bedsores were treated from June 2009 to June 2013. Among them, 15 cases were treated by myogenic elephant skin cream combined with VSD (VSD group) including 7 males and 8 females with an average age of (69.0±5.3) years old ranging from 17 to 96 years;other 14 cases were treated by the treatment of conventional dressing change (control group) including 6 males and 8 females with an average age of (71.0±4.2) years old ranging from 40 to 86 years. At 7, 14, 21, 28 d after treatments, specimens of wound two groups were respectively taken to examine immunohistochemical CD34 adopted SABC, the number of wild vascular cross were observed as capillary density value under high magnification microscope. It was used to assess the hyperplasia of granulation tissue of wound. The capillary density value and the visual wound observation were indicators for evaluation of clinical efficacy.

RESULTSSeventeen of 19 cases got complete data of specimens of wound at 7, 14, 21, 28 d,included 9 cases of VSD group,8 of control group. In the microscope view, the capillary density of VSD group was higher than that of control group significantly (P<0.05), it showed the application of VSD technology improved hyperplasia of granulation tissue much faster than conventional dressing change. In VSD group, 13 cases with 15 wounds healed, 2 cases with 3 wounds improved; in control group,3 cases with 3 wounds healed,7 cases with 9 wounds improved, 4 cases with 5 wounds were unhealed.

CONCLUSIONUsing the VSD technology with continuous high pressure suction to clean the drainage of wound and lacuna thoroughly can effectively control infection,promote the growth of granulation tissue, and then applying myogenic elephant skin cream to improve partial blood supply while prompting rapid growth of new granulation tissue and epithelial cell. The risk of this treatment is low,and the course of treatment is short, this provides a safe and effective method for treating bedsores.

[Objective]To establish a novel noninvasive fluorescent animal model for endometriosis in vitro and in vivo.[Methods]Adenovirus encoding enhancing green fluorescent protein(Ad-eGFP)was used to transfect endometrial glandular cells and stromal cells(cells transfection and injection,Method No.1),and fragments(tissues transfection and injection,Method No.2).Transfection efficiencies were compared between the two methods in vitro.Then GFP transfected glandular cells and stromal cells suspension were injected into nude mice subcutaneously(Method No.1),taking Method No.2 as a comparison.In vivo observation last for 25 days,and positive rates and duration times of fluorescent lesions were calculated.Histological examination was used to confirmed lesion formation.[Results]On the fifth day after injection,lesion positive rate of Method No.1 was 88.9%,which was statistically significantly higher than that of Method No.2(22.2%),P=0.015＜0.05.The fluorescent positive duration of Method No.1 and No.2 were 12 ± 8 days and 7±4 days.The structures of lesions were all identified as human original endometrium by histological examination,including HE staining and immunofluoresceney.[Conclusion]Noninvasive animal model of endometriosis can be built up by subcutaneously injection of Ad-EGFP transfected endometrial glandular cells and stromal cells suspension with higher positive rate and longer observation time

The derivatization towards the hydroxyl groups of steroid environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals,such as estrone(E1),17β-estradiol(E2),estriol(E3) and 17α-ethynylestradoil( EE2),with A,O-bis (trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide ( BSTFA ) as derivatization reagent followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) was studied. The effects of the amount of BSTFA,derivatization temperature and time on the derivatization of target compounds,as well as the stability of steroid derivatives,calibration curves,instrumental quantification limits were investigated. The cleavage mechanism of steroid derivatives characteristic fragment ions was also interpreted. The results showed that better derivatization results were obtained when the amount of BSTFA was 25 μL for 100 μL steroids standard mix solution at 0.01 g/L;it is unnecessary to heating in the derivatization,better results were obtained when the steroids were derivatized with BSTFA at room temperature (20℃) for 10 min. The derivatives of target compounds were stable because their relative response factors(RRFs) had no observable change when deposited at -20℃ for 48 h. Under the optimal conditions,good linear correlation was obtained and the instrumental quantification limit was 0. 3μg/L for E1 and E2,while it was 5μg/L for EE2 and E3.

3 month),fluid sign was observed in 2(3 vertebrae,3/26,11.5%). Conclusion Fluid sign is characteristic in acute,subacute and early chronic trauma vertebral compression fracture for bone marrow edema,while it is rare in metastatic tumor vertebral compression fracture.It may paly a role in the differentiation of benign and malignant vertebral compression fracture.

In order to obtain higher L-lactic acid yield industrial strain, the original strain Rhizopus oryzae PW352 was mutated by means of N+ ions implantation and a mutant strain Rhizopus oryzae RE3303 was obtained. Its lactic acid yield was increased by 75% than that of the original one. The acid producing condition was optimized by orthogonal design. The concentration of L-lactic acid reached to 131～136g/L and the conversion rate of glucose was as high as 86%～90% under the optimum condition.

The role of methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2 (MBD2) in an ApoE-deficient mouse model of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) was investigated. Eight-week-old Mbd2/ApoE double deficient (Mbd2(-/-) ApoE(-/-)) mice (n=12, 24 eyes, experimental group) and MBD2 (wt) ApoE(-/-) mice (n=12, 24 eyes, control group) were fed on Western-type diet for 4 months. The mice were sacrificed, and total serum cholesterol levels were analyzed and Bruch's membrane (BM) of the eyes was removed for ultrastructural observation by transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) immunoreactivities were evaluated by fluorescence microscopy in sections of the eyes in both groups for further understanding the function mechanism of MBD2. There was no significant difference in the total serum cholesterol levels between control group and experimental group (P>0.05). Transmission electron microscopy revealed that AMD-like lesions, various vacuoles accumulated on BM, notable outer collagenous layer deposits and dilated basal infoldings of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) were seen in both groups, and the BM in control group was significantly thickened as compared with experimental group (P<0.05). Fluorescence micrographs exhibited the expression of ICAM-1 in choroid was higher in control group than in experimental group. We are led to conclude that MBD2 gene knockout may lead to accumulation of more deposits on the BM and influence the pathogenesis of AMD via triggering endothelial activation and inflammatory response in choroid, improving microcirculation, and reducing lipid deposition so as to inhibit the development of AMD-like lesions. Our study helps to provide a new therapeutic approach for the clinical treatment of AMD.
