BACKGROUND: Cicatricial alopecia always occurs following the scalp trauma, and the optimal repairing method is scalp soft tissue expansion. OBJECTIVE: To verify the repairing effect of scalp soft tissue expansion therapy on the large-scale cicatricial alopecia. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A case report was carried out in the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery at the 180 Hospital of Chinese PLA (Quangzhou, Fujian, China) between January 1996 and April 2008. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-six patients of cicatricial alopecia were adopted, with the size arranging 15 cm?9 cm to 24 cm?14 cm. METHODS: Scalp soft tissue expansion was performed in 36 cases of cicatricial alopecia. In later stage, the residual alopecia with small area was removed by scar excision plus suture for several times, treated with transposition repair of local flap and autologous hair transplant carrying hair follicle. The largest area to repair alopecia reached 336 cm2. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Postoperative complications, repairing effect and cicatrix restitution were observed after operation; The elimination of alopecia area, hair density and appearance were detected during follow-ups. RESULTS: Psilotic scar eliminated in all cases, but 11 cases underwent scalp scar excision, transposition of local flap and autologous hair transplant because of wide incisional scar or residual small alopecia. No obvious complications occurred. It was found by a postoperative follow-up of 1-3 years that hair growth was good. CONCLUSION: Skin soft tissue expansion is an ideal method to repair cicatricial alopecia with large area. In later stage, the combination of simple repair methods can obtain better curative effect.

Objective:To study the methods of early qualitative diagnosis of laryngeal displasia and earlycarcinoma. Methods:We investigated displasia (34 cases),squamous cell carcimoa (19 cases) and vocalcord polyps (17 cases) of larynx which were embeded in paraffin by PCR－SSCP analysis of p53 gene,im－munochemi stain of p53 protein and Ⅳ collagen,cytometer (determining fraction of cell cycle) and AgNORstain. Results :Eleven of 34 cases of displasia were all positive in the indexes. Seven of 11 cases were alsopositive in pathology,but others were negative. Five of 34 cases of displasia were all negative in the index-es,2 of 5 cases were positive and 1 of 5 cases were negative,other two cases did not have following-up re-sults in pathology. Conclusion :The results suggest that it is the combination of the morphological indexeswith biological indexe that is more scientific and more accurate in quatitative diagnosis of premalignantchange.

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of different forms of trivalent chromium on growth hormone (GH) secretion and pituitary mRNA expression in finishing pigs.A total of 96 finishing pigs with an initial average body weight 65 kg were blocked by body weight and randomly assigned to four treatments with three replicates.Pigs were offered one of four diets including a control diet or the control diet supplemented with 200 μg/kg chromium from either chromium chloride (CrCl3),chromium picolinate (CrPic) or Chromium nanocomposite (CrNano) for 40 days.During the trial,all pigs were given free access to feed and water.At the end of the feeding trial,blood samples were taken via auriculares at 15 min intervals for 3 hours.Eight pigs from each treatment were slaughtered for backfat thickness and longissimus muscle area (LMA),and three pituitaries were collected to determine GH mRNA level.The results showed that average daily gain of pigs fed supplemental CrNano was increased by 6.31 (P<0.05),feed gain ratio was decreased by 4.61% (P<0.05),backfat thickness was decreased by 24.32 % (P<0.05),and LMA was increased by 20.22% (P<0.05).The results of GH dynamic secretion showed that supplemental CrNano increased the mean level,lowest value,peak value and peak duration of GH by 42.62% (P<0.05),87.94%(P<0.05),26.60% (P<0.05),and 17.19%(P<0.05),respectively.The mean level and peak value of GH in pigs fed Supplemental CrPic was increased by 36.58% (P<0.05),27.18%(P<0.05),respectively.Pituitary mRNA expression of GH in pigs fed diet containing chromium from CrNano was increased by 27.63%(P<0.05).These results indicated that chromium nanocomposite increased GH mRNA expression and secretion in finishing pigs,through which growth was promoted and carcass characteristic was improved.

Objective To study the volume of lateral cerebral ventricle in neonates with threedimensional ultrasonography(3F-US),and to investigate the influence of sex,body weight(BW),head circumference(HC)and gestational age(GA) on it. Methods A total of 255 healthy neonates (GA 28~40 weeks) were examined with 3D cranial ultrasound. The ultrasonography was performed with anterior fontanel as the acoustic window,and the data were aquired at the deck of third ventricle on coronal section.The 3D image on the screen was constructed automatically and the volume of lateral cerebral ventricle was (P=0.809),and there was negative correlation between the volume of lateral cerebral ventricle and GA(r=-0.971). The correlation between the volume of lateral cerebral ventricle and HC was positive(r≥According to the relationships among HC(X 1),GA(X 2)and volume of lateral cerebral ventricle(Y),a linear regression equation Y=2.298-0.011 X1-0.04 X2 was obtained(the determinate coefficient R2 was accurately,which would be helpful to the evaluation on the cerebral maturity and the diagnosis of cerebral desease in neonates without wound.

Objective To analyze the possible effects of mitochondrial DNA mutation on noise-induced hearing loss.Methods 265 young workers with noise exposure were examined.The average pure tone thresholds at 500,1 000,and 2 000 Hz for 25 voluntary persons were noise-induced hearing loss by nature and selected as the study group.27 voluntary persons with no speech frequency hearing loss were chosen as the control group.DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes.Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was used to detect the mtDNA4977 deletion in both groups.Results The detection rate of mtDNA4977 deletion in the study group was 20%(5/25) and it was 0(0/27) for the control group.Conclusion MtDNA4977 deletion in the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group,indicating that mtDNA4977 deletion may play an important role in the development of noise-induced hearing loss.

Objective To investigate the disease medical management behavior patients who discharged from hospital after coronary artery bypass graft(CABG).Methods During June 2013 to March 2014,a total of 110 patients after CABG in Changhai Hospital Affiliated to Second Military Medical University were recruited to fill questionnaire,and the results were analysed.Results The average score of 110 patients of disease medical management behavior was 40.57±5.13,the total score index was 54.09％.In the four dimensions of disease medical management,treatment adherence was the worst which scored 8.19±1.28,and scoring index was 54.60％.Disease knowledge management was the best implementation which scored 13.83±2.05,and scoring index was 52.00％.Gender,education,medical treatment charge of payment and complication were the influence factors of disease medical management behavior.Conclusions Medical staff should adopt different self-management intervention strategy,according to different patients and self management content.

Objective The poor sleep quality of epileptic patients may be partly due to the occurrence epileptiform discharges (EDs).We observed the number of interictal discharges in each sleep stage and explored the associations between EDs and sleep phases in epilepsy patients.Methods Two hundred and forty epileptic patients and 213 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the current study.For all subjects,video-electroencephalogram monitoring and 24 h-night polysomnography were conducted to detect EDs and analyze the sleep structures.Results EDs were detected in 88.7％ (213/240) of epilepsy patients with the most frequent cases from the temporal lobe.The EDs detected during waking,sleeping,or both waking and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep stage accounted for 20.6％ (44/213),40.4％ (86/213),and 38.9％ (83/213) of the total patients,respectively.The total sleep time and time spent in REM were similar between the epileptic patients and healthy volunteers.However,epileptic patients spent a significantly longer mean sleep time in NREM Ⅰ-Ⅱ ((304 ±39) min versus (225 ±29) min,t =3.51,P =0.000) and less in NREM Ⅲ-Ⅳ ((49 ± 7) min versus (133 ± 17) min,t =2.30,P =0.000) than healthy volunteers.Furthermore,asymmetric sleep spindles and fragmentary sleep structure as well as high inversion frequency were found in epilepsy patients,respectively.Conclusion Combination of long-term video electroencephalogram with polysomnography is a useful method to analyze associations between EDs and the sleep-wake cycle.This strategy can also help identify the nature of sleep disorders in epileptic patients,which may improve the treatment efficacy.
