BACKGROUND: Platelet-rich plasma containing various high-concentration growth factors can promote new bone formation and accelerate bone healing. But its effects on distraction osteogenesis remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of autologous platelet-dch plasma on premaxillary distraction osteogeaesis in rabbits. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized controlled animal experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Physiology, North Campus,Sun Yat-sen University between July and August 2007. MATERIALS: Sixteen healthy rabbits, the same number for male and female, aged 3-5 months,weighing 1. 4-1.7 kg,were randomly and evenly divided into an experimental group and a control group. Premaxillary incisor band,outside front distraction mask, and distraction rubber band were self-made.Coagulant was prepared by dissolving 1000 u bovine thrombin in 1 mL of 10% calcium chloride.METHODS: Titanium nails (1.5 mm in diameter) were separately inserted on two sides of left premaxillary suture in rabbits. A self-made distraction device was used. Gelatum-like substance [Vplatelet-rich plasma: V coagulant=9:1] was injected into the left premaxillary suture of experimental group rabbits immediately prior to distraction.In each group, one-week sustained distraction was performed in 4 rabbits,and three-week sustained distraction was performed in another rabbits. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The increase of nail-nail distance on the two sides and histological results following distraction osteogenesis.RESULLTS: Rabbit premaxillary bone moved anterior in the two groups. The experimental group showed greater increase of nail-nail distance, faster bone formation and mineralization, more blood vessels, and thicker and more mature bone trabecula in the distraction interspace in comparison with the control group. CONCLUSION: Platelet-rich plasma will help bone tissue regeneration and promote premaxillary distraction osteogenesis.

BACKGROUND: Pterygium is associated with local chronic inflammatory responses and chronic stimulation from external factors such as. sunlight and wind dust. Presently. there are various theories concerning the onset mechanism of pterygium, but these theories are not generally accepted.OBJECTIVE: To investigate histopathological chractefistics of pterygium and analyze the mulfipotent stem cell effects on the onset of pterygium DESIGN: An open experiment.SETTING: Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University.MATERIALS: Experiments were performed at the State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Sun Yat-sen University from September 2006 to January 2007. 218 pterygial paraffin specimens following clinical and pathological diagnosis were obtained from Pathology Lab of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sea University.METHODS: Pterygial specimens harvested from clinical operations received morphology, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence under a confocal microscope.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphology of ptorygium and expressions of CD34, vimentin (VIM), smooth muscle acfin (SMA), S- 100 in pterygium.RESULTS: Changes in morphology: Fibroplasia and neovascularization were the main changes in pterygium. Fibroplasia wasdiverse in different regions, and two main phenomena were observed. First, the tissues arranged tightly like the scleral fiber.Secondly, in some loose region, some of spindle-shape, polygonal, asteroid fibroblast-like cells, arranging loosely, could be seen only. No apparent collagen fibers were identified between them. Immunohistochemistry were positive for CD34 in some region where the fibroblast actively proliferated, whereas fibrocytes in mature fibrous tissue were negatively stained.Immunohistochemisu'y was positive for VIM in a large fraction of fibrocytes, vascular endothelial cells, vessel wall and perithelial cells. SMA staining was positive in basophilous small blocks, spindle or irregular cell cluster. Of the 218 cases, 56 cases had smooth muscle. S-100 staining demonstrated that neurofilament protein and adipocytes were positive. Of the 218 cases, 44 cases had adipose tissue, Immunofluorescence showed that proliferative active cells were positive and stained green under a confocal microscope.CONCLUSION: The fibrous tissues in pterygium originate from mesenchymal stem cells, and can differentiate into smooth muscle and adipose tissue.

Objective The purpose of the present study is to illustrate the effect of olfactory ensheathing cells(OECs) on the survival and neurite outgrowth of GABAergic neurons in vitro.

Objective To show the international protocols for blood pressure monitoring based on a real example. Methods The assessment process of international protocol that can be released by Working Group on Blood Pressure Monitoring of European Society of Hypertension was evaluated. Results 33 participants were selected, which all indexes in evaluation stage one and stage two of the indicators were detected through. The 95% consistency interval in difference between tested device and reference monitor was 10.65～-12.67 mmHg for systolic BP and 13.68～-14.03 mmHg for diastolic BP, and there were 7.1% (7/99) and 6.1% (6/99) of valid points out of the 95% consistency interval. Conclusion The measured automatic blood pressure in the normal environment, measuring accuracy and the standard with the control of mercury -type sphygmomanometer is coincident, so it can be recommended for home application.

Objective To compare blood pressures results measured by automated sphygmomanometer and standard mercury sphygmomanometer,and to investigate the application of measurements consistency evaluation method in accurate measurement of automated sphygmomanometer.Methods Intraclass correlation coefficient was used to estimate the reliability of repeated measurements,and Bland -Altman method was adopted to evaluate the consistency between automated sphygmomanometer and standard mercury sphygmomanometer.Meanwhile,the results were compared with protocol of European Society of Hypertension.Results The tested automated sphygmomanometer did not adapt to the criteria of European Society of Hypertension.The intraclass correlation coefficient of mercury sphygmomanometer was 0.937 for systolic blood pressure,0.849 for diastolic blood pressure.The intraclass correlation coefficient of tested sphygmomanometer was 0.944 for systolic blood pressure,0.929 for diastolic blood pressure.The 95% consistency interval was(-10.20 to 16.94)mmHg for systolic blood pressure and(-6.25 to 11.69)mmHg for diastolic blood pressure.Conclusion Normally,Bland-Altman method has the same judgment result with protocol of European Society of Hypertension.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of stage treatment of severe complicated injuries in palmar forearm and wrist.Methods From March 2008 to Novemler 2011, eleven cases with skin lost combined with fracture and lost of flexor tendon, ulnar radial arteries, median and ulnar nerves,and some of them had fracture of ulnar and radius were treated in the first stage with vacuum sealing drainage after emergency debridement and tissue repair. Secondary microsurgical repair was performed after the VSD was removed. The lost of median and ulnar nerves was repaired with transplantation of sural nerve,and the wound was repaired with free flaps and complex tissue flaps. Results Eleven cases were treated with vacuum sealing drainage for 7 to 10 days.Infections were under control,wound areas reduced and most wound areas were covered by granulation tissues.Flaps and skin grafts were survived.After postoperative follow-up for 3 to 36 months (average 13 months),three cases was received flexor tendolysis.As result,the blood circulation of hand was good, the sensor of injured nerve was higher than S3, and there was a good functional rehabilitation of hand muscles. Conclusion Using vacuum sealing drainage after emergency debridement and tissue repair, there was a good repairing effect of secondary repair with flaps and skin grafts for severe complicated tissue defect in palmar forearm and wrist,and it is an effective choice of operation.
