OBJECTIVETo investigate the technique and its therapeutic effect of synchronous correction of lip and nasal deformity in complete bilateral cleft lip.

METHODS29 patients with complete bilateral cleft lip underwent synchronous correction of lip and nasal deformity with the modified Mulliken method for Asians. The philtral flap was 6-7 mm in length, and 3-4 mm in width at the collumellar-labial junction. The distance between the peaks of cupid's bow was 4-5 mm. The bilateral edge of philtral flap was de-epithelialized and advanced to form philtrum column. The lateral lip was advanced to the medial site, and the central vermilion tubercle was constructed with the bilateral vermilion-mucosal flap. Through the alar rim incision, the displaced cartilage was dissected and repositioned to raise the nasal tip. The follow-up period was 6 months to 6 years.

RESULTSSatisfactory results were achieved in all patients. The reconstructed upper lip had invisible scar with natural philtrum and column. The vermilion had good appearance with tubercle. The length of nasal column was not decreased and depression of nasal tip and alar was greatly improved.

CONCLUSIONSOur modified Mulliken method is effective in synchronous correction of lip and nasal deformity in bilateral cleft lip.

BACKGROUND: Non-adherent mesenchymal stem cells (NA-MSCs) can form colony forming unit of fibroblasts and induce the differentiation into adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes.OBJECTIVE: To determine whether non-adherent mesenchymal stem cells (NA-MSCs) in adult mouse bone marrow could differentiate into neuron-like cells in cerebral ischemic region.METHODS: Bilateral femur and tibia of β-Gal transgenic mice was separated, and repeated-transfer was used to collect the fifth-passage purified NA-MSCs which were adjusted at concentration of 1×10~(12)/L Middle cerebral artery occlusion was established in the two groups. After 7 days, 3 μL fifth-passaged NA-MSCs suspension was injected into cerebral ischemic region in the transplantation group, while an equal amount of saline was injected into model group. Survival, distribution, and differentiation of donor cells in cerebral ischemic region were observed at 8 weeks after transplantation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: LacZ staining showed that donor cells could express β-Gal protein after 8 weeks and survived in the ischemic region. Simple and double immunohistochemical staining indicated that β-Gal-positive donor cells were detected in necrotic region and at necrotic edge of ischemic model. Additionally, partial cells could express neuro-specific NeuN protein and glial cell-specific GFAP. NA-MSCs are able to survive and migrate in cerebral ischemic region; moreover, partial NA-MSCs can differentiate into mature neuron-like cells or glial cells which participate in repairing brain injury.

Objective To assess the value of intraoperative ultrasonography during the uterus septum resection under a hysteroscope.MethodsThe uterus septum resection was performed under the guidance of transabdominal ultrasonography by using a hysteroscope in 30 patients.The operative procedure and the position of the hysteroscope were monitored,and the depth of the dissection and thickness of the myometrium in the fundus uteri were measured with transabdominal ultrasound during the operation.ResultsThe thickness between the incisal surface and serosal layer in the fundus uteri was within the normal limits in 28 cases.In 2 cases,the tissue was over-ectomized.The position of the urethral catheter balloon was correct in all of the 30 cases.Three months after the procedure,reexamination by transvaginal ultrasonography showed that the uterine cavity was normal in the patients.ConclusionsIntraoperative ultrasonography is quick,safe and precise for monitoring uterus septum resection.It is valuable for establishing surgical strategy and reducing operative complications.

Conclusion:Rat submandibular gland cells can be primarily cultured and subcultured in vitro.The primarily cultured and first subcultured cells may be more potential in growth.

Objective To detect the relationship between the genotypes of the 2642 deletion polymorphism (delta 2642) in IT15 gene and the age of onset of Huntington disease (HD). Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected from 29 patients with HD and 38 gender- and age-matched controls. All patients with HD were diagnosed by gene diagnosis. The CAG trinucleotide repeats of the 29 patients with HD outnumbered 40. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis technique were used to detect the genotypes of delta 2642. Results No B/B genotype was detected in both 2 groups. The genotype frequencies of A/A and A/B in the IT15 delta 2642 polymorphism was 65.5% and 34. 5% in HD patients,92. 1% and 7. 9% in the controls respectively (x2 = 7. 435, P =0. 006). The frequency of the B allele was 17.2% in the HD group and 3. 9% in the control group (P = 0. 010, OR = 5.07, 95% CI 1.47-15.12). Analysis showed no significant difference between A/A genotype patients and A/B genotype patients for CAG trinucleotide repeats(P =0. 188). HD patients with A/B genotype (37.33±6. 46) had an earlier onset than the patients with A/A genotype (47.10± 10. 86, t = 2. 491, P = 0. 019). Conclusions These data demonstrated that variations in IT15 delta 2642 polymorphisms may be a genetic factor that influences the variability in HD age of onset. HD patients with delta 2642 A/B genotype have an earlier onset than the patients with A/A genotype.

BACKGROUND: Non-adherent mesenchymal stem cells (NA-MSCs) can form colony forming unit of fibroblasts and induce the differentiation into adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of epithelial growth factor (EGF) on colony formation of fibroblasts and differentiation into neuron-like cells from NA-MSCs.METHODS: Bilateral femur and tibia as well as total MSCs were separated, and repeated-transfer was employed to purify NA-MSCs. The fifth-passage total MSCs and NA-BMCs were induced in a medium containing EGF and basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF) for 2 weeks. Colony unit formation of fibroblasts, effect of EGF on colony-forming unit of fibroblasts, and relative protein expression detected by toluidine blue and immunocytochemical staining were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Both total MSCs and NA-BMC could generate colony-forming unit of fibroblasts. After treatment of EGF, colony-forming unit of fibroblasts from NA-BMC was increased significantly. Immunocytochemical staining demonstrated that two weeks later both neuro-specific NeuN and NF-200 were observed in total MSCs and NA-BMC; while, toluidine blue staining indicated that neuron-specific Nissl body was observed in some cells. EGF can effectively promote colony-forming unit of fibroblast from NA-BMC, and repeated-transfer NA-BMC can induce differentiation into neuron-like cells.
