The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the relationship between the thrombosis and secretory duct dilation, lesion size, clinical types, nature (primary or recurrent) and duration of illness in the development of ranula. A total of 229 cases of sublingual gland cysts were treated with surgical resection from Jan. 1990 to Feb. 2010. The patients' data were investigated on histopathological findings, size of ranula, the clinical types, nature of ranula (primary or recurrent) and duration of illness. Sections from the paraffin-embeded blocks were HE-stained. CK expression was immunohistochemically detected. Among 229 cases the incidence of venous thrombosis was 58.52%. The incidence of venous thrombosis with or without duct dilation was 73.25% and 26.39% respectively, with a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.005). The incidence of venous thrombosis of ranulas with diameter larger or less than 3 cm was 72.22% and 46.28% (P<0.005). The incidence of venous thrombosis of oral ranula, plunging ranula and mixed ranula was 49.37%, 77.19% and 85.71% respectively, with a significant difference found between oral and plunging or mixed ranula (P<0.01). The incidence of venous thrombosis in ranula patients with duration of illness longer or less than 3 months was 69.77% and 51.75% (P<0.01). The incidence of venous thrombosis with recurrent and primary ranulas was 51.85% and 64.85%, without a significant difference noted between them (P>0.05). It is concluded that the formation of venous thrombosis was related to the dilation of secretory duct, lesion size, clinical types, duration of lesion but formation of venous thrombosis was not related to the nature (primary or recurrent) of ranulas.

Pingyangmycin (bleomycin A5 hydrochloride, PYM) is one of the anti-neoplastic agents which have been commonly used to treat venous malformations. However, the underlying mechanism by which PYM treats venous malformations remains poorly understood. It was reported that venous endothelial cells could recruit neutrophils via adhesion molecules (E-selectin, ICAM-1, ICAM-3, VCAM-1) during the acute/chronic inflammation and subsequent histological fibrosis after sclerotherapy with PYM. This study explored if the expression of E-selectin, ICAM-1, ICAM-3 and VCAM-1 in human venous malformation endothelial cells could be affected by PYM. HVMECs were cultured from human venous malformation tissue. Expressions of E-selectin, ICAM-1, ICAM-3 and VCAM-1 on HVMECs in response to PYM were analyzed by cell ELISA. The relative levels of mRNA expression in the cells were semi-quantified. The results showed that PYM up-regulated the expressions of E-selectin, ICAM-3, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in both time- and concentration-dependent manner. Our findings suggested that PYM could induce the expression of adhesion molecules in HVMECs, which might be a possible mechanism by which sclerotherapy by intralesional injection of PYM treats venous malformations.

Objective To explore induced eruption techniques of the impacted maxillary canine with labial medial inclination. Methods A total of 38 cases with upper impacted canines with labial medial inclination were selected. The impacted canine was connected to the buccal hook of the upper first molar band, moved distantly and uprightly and then drawn to the dental arch after the pressure to the adjacent teeth was removed. Results After average 18 months treatment, 38 patients had good functions. The deeper impacted canines in 5 patients were extracted, and then the dental arch spaces closed. The lateral incisors of root resorption in 4 patients were extracted. The premolars in 19 patients were removed, and 10 patients without extractions. Then the impacted canines were moved into dental arch. There was no aggravated root resorption during the treatment process. Conclusion When the maxillary canine with labial medial inclination is impacted, it is moved distantly and uprightly by elastic line connected to the buccal hook of the maxillary first molar band, and then drawn to the dental arch. The process is smoothly and the neighbor teeth are protected.

Copy number variations (CNVs) refer as a DNA segment that is 1 kb or larger and is presented at a variable copy number in comparison with a reference genome. Classes of CNVs include insertions, deletions, duplications and their complex combinations. Because they widely distributed in the genome with some important characteristics, such as heritable, relative stable and heterogeneity, CNVs are considered as novel genomic polymorphism markers. And the alteration of gene dosage which resulted from CNVs could change phenotype, so a novel CNV genome-wide association analysis (CNV-GWAS) strategy appeared recently and began to used for identifying susceptible genes of complex diseases. It was approved that it could complement the tranditional genome-wide association studies based on single nucleotide polymorphisms. Therefore, genomic structure variances are favorable for revealing the molecular mechanisms and genetic foundation of complex diseases.

Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics has become an indispensable tool for tumor marker discovery.Stable isotope labeling with amino acid in cell culture(SILAC),as a representative of in vivo metabolic labeling strategy,is a simple and relatively quantitative assay for comparative proteomics.Two kinds of cultured cells are grown in the medium containing either a light or heavy isotope labeled essential amino acids.After several cell doublings,the heavy amino acids are introduced into the nascent polypeptides in a sequence-specific fashion and the natural amino acid is completely replaced by its isotopically labeled analog.Accuracy quantification would be feasible by analyzing the peak intensities of every same peptide pairs labeled with light or heavy isotopes by the mass spectrometry.Compared with chemical labeling,SILAC requires much less amount of labeled proteins,and it is an efficient,straightforward,reproducible and accurate approach in cell-based systems.This method can not only investigate the dynamics of protein abundance,but also monitor the variation of posttranslational modifications and protein-protein interactions qualitatively and quantitatively.It is a powerful and important quantitative proteomics tool for tumor marker discovery.

Human myiasis is caused by the parasitic maggots of flies. We report a case of nasal myiasis in a 37-year-old woman in Henan. The patient presented with nasal foreign-body sensation, nansal itching sneezing, snuffle and such allergic symptoms in nasal cavity. Based on maggots that were bowed from the right nasal cavity, a detailed endoscopic examination, sinus CT scan and identification of the maggot's species done by parapsychologists of the parasitology teaching and reseach section of the Zhengzhou University School of Medicine, the diagnosis of human nasal infestation by oestrus ovis was definited.

The development of hearing of Kunming strain mouse was studied using evoked auditory nerve action potential (AP). The result showed that the onset of hearing was present during P10( tenth postnatal day) to P14. The thresholds of AP - N1 wave declined gradualy with the growth of the mouse. The auditory thresholds declined dramatically in the period from P10 to P20 and it indicated that the development of hearing was more rapid in this period. The thresholds, amplitudes and latencies of AP - N1 wave attained adult values by P40. The result showed that it took about one month for Kunming strain mouse to attain hearing maturation. The study on the development of hearing in normal mouse may serve as an important reference when studying degenerative lesions of the inner ear and the regeneration of cochlear hair cells.

Objective:To evaluate and compare the identification of several DNA barcoding candidate sequences on Illicium difengpi and its fake I. jiadifengpi. Method:Samples from different origins of I. difengpi and I. jiadifengpi, were collect extraction of total DNA,nuclear gene ITS2 sequence,chloroplast rbcL,matK gene sequence were selected for PCR amplification,product purification and sequencing,and CondonCode Aligner V3.7.1 was used to proofread stitching. Result:PCR amplification and sequencing of rbcL sequences of I. difengpi and I. jiadifengpi were not satisfactory. It is assumed that their rbcL sequences were too long with slow evolution,which was unsuitable for interbreeding. The success rate of matK sequencing of I. difengpi and I. jiadifengpi was 0 and 76.8%,which may be because primer standards were different for matK sequences of different groups. The results of PCR amplification and sequencing of ITS2 on I. difengpi and I. jiadifengpi were successful,with the success rate of sequencing was 89.3% and 91.2%. Analysis sequencing results, the total length of ITS2 sequences was 268 bases,and there were 2 variation sites of I. difengpi. The total length of ITS2 sequences was 430 bases,and there were 4 or 3 variation sites of I. jiadifengpi. It shows that ITS2 sequences of I. difengpi and I. jiadifengpi were short and has obvious variability and can be amplify,that ITS2 sequence was better than rbcL and matK sequence in molecular identification of I. difengpi and I. jiadifengpi. Conclusion:DNA barcoding based on ITS2 sequence was a powerful and efficient tool for identification of I. difengpi and its fake I. jiadifengpi.

【Objective】 To investigate the practice and benefit of national standardized management of type 2 diabetes in Yulin City. 【Methods】 We recruited the adult type 2 diabetes patients who sought medical help at our hospital from May 2020 to October 2022 as subjects. We collected their basic information (sex and age); measured height, weight, waist and hip circumference, and blood pressure; calculated body mass index (BMI); and detected blood glucose, c-peptide, HbA1c, biomarkers, urinary microalbumin, sensory nerve conduction velocity of lower limbs, ABI, and subcutaneous and visceral fat at the time of MMC recruited and the end of six months. T test and Mann-Whitney U rank sum test were used for measurement data and χ² test or Fisher’s exact probability method for counting data to analyze the data. 【Results】 After 6 months, the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, and visceral and subcutaneous fat in all the patients decreased, but the level of fasting c-peptide increased compared with the baseline (all P<0.05). Secondly, compared with the baseline, the control rate of HbA1c (35.21% vs. 13.71% ) and the comprehensive control rate (13.97% vs. 7.26% ) were both significantly increased at six months (P<0.05). Thirdly, after 6 months, the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, TG, TC, and UA were decreased more, while the fasting c-peptide and postprandial c-peptide were increased more in the patients of the HbA1c standard group (HbA1c<7% ) than those of the non-standard group. 【Conclusion】 The multiple benefits of blood glucose, blood lipid, uric acid and islet function can be achieved by taking type 2 diabetes patients into MMC. Meanwhile, the rates of HbA1c control and comprehensively reaching the standard are significantly increased. Therefore, MMC can explore a new way for the management of type 2 diabetic patients in this area.
