Objective To explore the expression and significance of Rac1 and WAVE2 protein in glomerulus of high-
fat diet induced C57BL/6J model mice. Methods Thirty-two male C57BL/6J mice (3-week old) were randomly assigned into two groups(16 in each group). The control group was fed with basic diet (10%fat) for 4 weeks. The high-fat diet group was fed with high-fat diet (60%fat) for 4 weeks. The kidney morphological changes were examined by HE and PAS staining. The expressions of Rac1 and WAVE2 protein were examined by Western blot and immunohistochemistry analysis. Results HE and PAS results showed that there were glomeruli mesangial matrix hyperplasia and exudation in high-fat diet group compared with control group. The immunohistochemistry and Western blotting results showed that expressions of Rac 1 and WAVE2 in glomerulus were both increased in high-fat diet group compared with those of control group. Conclusion Rac1 and WAVE2 protein may be involved in glomerular injuries induced by high-fat diet.

Objective To study expression and significance of keratin 17 and 19 in psoriatic lesion.Method The expression of keratin 17 and 19 in 30 psoriatic lesion and 10 normal skin was measured by immunohistochemistry method.Results The expression level of keratin 17 in the psoriatic lesion was higher than that in the normal skin,the expression level of keratin 19 in the psoriatic lesion was lower than that in the normal skin,there were significant differences in the expression of keratin 17 and 19 between them(P ＜0.05).The optical density level of keratin 17 in the psoriatic lesion was obviously raised compared with the normal skin(5.81 ± 1.42 vs.0,P＜ 0.01).The optical density level of keratin 19 in the psoriatic lesion was obviously decreased compared with the normal skin(0.49 ±0.03 vs.2.03± 1.08,P＜0.05).The optical density level of keratin 17 and 19 showed negative correlation in the psoriatic lesion(r =-0.479,P＜ 0.01).Conclusion Keratin 17 and 19 may play a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

The evolution of the quality control concepts of medical products within the global context and the development of the quality control technology of Chinese medicine are briefly described. Aimed at the bottlenecks in the regulation and quality control of Chinese medicine, using Big Data technology to address the significant challenges in Chinese medicine industry is proposed. For quality standard refinements and internationalization of Chinese medicine, a technological innovation strategy encompassing its methodology, and the R&D direction of the subsequent core technology are also presented.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and microsurgical outcomes of patients with parasellar cavernous hemangiomas.Methods The clinical data and prognosis of 12 patients with parasellar cavemous hemangiomas treated with microsurgery were retrospectively analyzed.Magnetic resonance imaging showed that cavernous hemangiomas appeared slight hypointensity on T1WI,hyperintense on T2WI,and significant contrast on enhancing.Results Total resection and sub-total resection was achieved in 9 and 3 patients.No death occurred postoperatively.After operation,all patients were released from intracranial hypertension.In 6 patients who had visual disorder,5 patients improved and 1 patient had no change.In 5 patients who had eyeball motor disorder,3 patients improved and 2 patients had no change.In 4 patients who had pituitary gland dyshormonism,2 patients improved and 2 patients had no change.At postoperative early stage,diabetes insipidus and serum electrolyte disorder occurred in 3 patients,2 patients developed oculomotor paralysis.Patients were followed up (30.51 + 2.57) months.Three patients recovered from diabetes insipidus and serum electrolyte disorder,and 1 patient recovered from oculomotor paralysis.No patient suffered tumor recurrence or regrowth.Conclusions The correct diagnosis of parasellar cavernous hemangiomas can be achieved according to the preoperative MRI.Microsurgery is the first-line therapy for parasellar cavernous hemangiomas.

A polydimethylsiloxane ( PDMS )/glass microfluidic chip consisting of a three-layer sandwich structure and three-parallel micro-electrode system was fabricated for the separation of polystyrene microspheres according to the particle size in high conductive solution by electric field produced by alternating current. The principle of electrokinetics of microspheres directional movement was investigated. The results showed that, when the applied voltage was 14 V at 100 kHz, the separation efficiency of 10 and 25 μm polystyrene microspheres was the best. Similarly, with a voltage of 10 V at 2 MHz, the separation efficiency of 5 and 25 μm polystyrene microspheres could achieve the highest value. Meanwhile, the voltage of 11 V at 1 MHz was suitable for the separation of 5 , 10 and 25 μm polystyrene microspheres with the separation efficiency of over 90%. At the same time, the formation of the laminar region in the middle of the electrode gap was the key role of microsphere separation.

Objective To analyze pathogenic bacteria distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility in children with acute otitis media(AOM ) .Methods Otorrhea samples from 146 episodes of AOM were cultured .The antimi‐crobial susceptibility of the main pathogenic bacteria was determined .The results were analyzed by SPSS19 .0 .Re‐sults 1) The strains of bacteria were isolated from 109 children with the positive rate of 74 .66% .Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP ) was the major bacteria(64 episodes ,58 .72% ) ,followed by staphlococcus aureus(SA) (19 epi‐sodes ,17 .43% ) .2) Sp was all sensitive to vancomycin ,levofloxacin ,moderate to penicillin ,amoxicillin ,cefo‐taxime ,and highly resistent to erythromycin and clindamycin .Staphlococcus aureus were all sensitive to vancomy‐cin ,tetracycline ,and Amy card ,and moderate to amoxicillin clavulanic acid potassium ,cefoxitin ,and oxacillin ,all resistent to penicillin and ampicillin .3) The strains of SP in age≤1year ,>1 -3years ,and >3 years respectively were 31(50 .82% ) ,25(56 .82% ) ,8 (19 .51% ) .There were significant differences between them(χ2 =14 .073 ,P=0 .001) .4)The strains of SP in 2012 ,2013 ,2014 respectively were 16(30 .19% ) ,22(48 .89% ) ,26(54 .17% ) ,There were significant differences between them(χ2 =6 .557 ,P=0 .038) .The antimicrobial susceptibility of SP had no sig‐nificant differences among 2012 ,2013 ,2014 ,but a yearly resistance decreasing trend was seen .Conclusion SP was the main bacterial contributor for AOM in Wuhan children .SP detection rate increases every year ,mainly in chil‐dren less than 3 years old .T he antimicrobial susceptibility is stable .

Objective To describe special clinical features of the complex fractures in proxitnal humeral in adolescents,and the role of open reduction in management.Methods 14 cases of complex displaced fractures in upper humerus were openly reduced and internally fixed with T-shaped plate,L-shaped plate,modified cloverleaf plate or trapezoid-shaped plate.The lacerated rolator cuffs and capsules were repaired at the same time.Results 13 cases were followed up from 3 months to 8 years,with the average period being 2 years and 10 months.According to the INcer classification and functional evaluation of shoulder and elbow,5 cases were rated as excellent,7 good and 2 fair.Conclusion Since complex and displaced fractures of the proximal bumerua in adolescents often result in the damage to the vascular supply of the head of the humerus,in choosing operative procedures orthopedists surgeons should consider minimum exposure,limited and appropriate internal fixation rather limn rigid fixation,with an objective to preserve vascularity to the articular segment.
