Objective To Investigate the effects of antipsoriatic drugs on 5 lipoxygenase(5－LO) and set up a relevant pharmacodynamic method. Methods 5－ LO products, leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and 5 hydroxyeicosatetraenoic(5－HETE), we re determined by RP－HPLC to represent 5－LO activity. Results Cyclosporin A( CyA) and triptolide(T0) inhibited the production of LTB4 and 5－HETE in a dose dependent manner, while erythromycin did without dose dependence. The 50％ inhibitory concentration values(IC50) of CyA inhibiting LTB4 and 5－HETE were 3 8.0? g/mL and 0.96? g/mL, respectively. The IC50 of T0 inhibiting LTB4 and 5－ HETE were 2.3? 10－6? g/mL and 1.14? 10－6? g/mL, respectively. Conclusio ns The anti inflammatory effect of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f. may be partl y explained by its inhibition of 5－LO activity. The anti inflammatory effect of CyA has no clinical significance since the inhibitory concentration of CyA h as exceeded its pharmacological limitation. Erythromycin has no effect on 5－LO activity.

Objective To explore the effects of silybin-phosphatidylcholine compound (SPC )on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation of nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) and phosphorylation and degradation of inhibitors of NF-?B?(I?B?).Methods Phagocyte were collected in abdominal cavity of Kunming mousse aged 6 to 8 weeks,cultured phagocyte(2?105 mL-1) were divided into control, LPS and SPC groups randomly, phagocyte in control group were added into the same volume of 9 g/L sodium chloride.Phagocyte in LPS group were added into a single bolus of LPS(10 ?g/mL LPS) for 24 hours, phagocyte in SPC groups were preincubated with different concentration of SPC for 2 hours followed by a 24 hours incubation with 10 ?g/mL LPS. Immunocytochemistry were used to measure the contents of NF-?B, phosphorylated I?B? in phagocyte.Results The content of NF-?B p65 located in the nuclear in control group was little. The content of NF-?B p65 located in the nuclear in LPS group markly higher than that in control group(P

Objective To analyse distribution of age and gender characteristics of specific IgG(sIgG)antibodies and specific IgE (sIgE)antibodies of 13 types of food allergens in patients with food anaphylaxis,and to explore the relationship between sIgG and sIgE in food anaphylaxis.Methods 314 cases of patients from 2009 to 2012 were selected as subjects,and divided into underage group(1 63 cases)and adult group(1 5 1 cases).Serum sIgG of 13 types of food allergens were detected by using enzyme linked immu-nosorbent assay,serum sIgE of these food allergens were detected by using immune capture.Results 80.25% of the patients were sIgG-positive,and no obvious gender differences were found;while the positive rates of sIgG in the underage group(94.48%)were higher than that in the adult group(64.90%),there were statistically significant differences(P < 0.05 ).34.39% of the patients were sIgE-positive.The positive rates of sIgE in male patients(40.68%)were higher than that in female patients(26.28%),and that in the underage group(55.21%)were also higher than that in the adults group(1 1.92%),there were statistically significant differences(P <0.05).Conclusion The total positive rates and its distribution characteristics of sIgG and sIgE of same food aller-gens were obviously different.Food anaphylaxis might be associated with age,gender,food types and individual diversity.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between passing rate of otoacoustic emission (OAE) and pure tone thresholds. METHOD: OAE including both transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) and distortion products otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) as well as pure tone thresholds were measured in subjects with normal hearing and sensory hearing loss. The passing rates of OAE were calculated in subjects with different age groups and different pure tone thresholds. RESULT: TEOAE can identify hearing loss at frequencies of 2 kHz and below. For TEOAE and 2 kHz DPOAE, passing rate has no difference between different age groups. For 4 kHz DPOAE, the passing rate in age over 50 years group is lower than other groups. The passing rate decreased as the pure tone threshold increased. When TEOAE and DPOAE suggest " pass", 70%, 81%, 79% subjects had pure tone threshold lower than 25 dB HL and 94%, 96%, 93% lower than 40 dB HL respectively. When they suggest "refer", 93%, 84%, 87% subjects had pure tone threshold higher than 25 dB HL and 71%, 58%, 68% higher than 40 dB HL respectively. CONCLUSION TEOAE is sensitive to hearing loss at middle and low frequencies but not at high frequencies. Measuring both TEOAE and DPOAE might provide more information of hearing loss at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 kHz. It is worth noting that even OAE suggest "pass" or "refer", because there is still exist the possibility of hearing loss.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of episodic hypoxia(EHYP) on liver CYP3A2 and CYP2E1. METHODS: Healthy masculinity rats were divided randomly into five groups: control group, 3 -day EHYP group, 7 -day EHYP group, 14 -day EHYP group, and 28 -day EHYP group. 24 h after the management of EHYP, the rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection, and the eyeball blood 2ml was drawn to prepare serum. The activities of ALT and AST in the serum were determined by enzymatic methods. The activities of liver microsomal erythromycin demethylase(ERD) and aniline hydroxylase(ANH) were detected by spectrophotography. The levels of mRNA expression of CYP3A2,CYP2E1 were assayed with RT-PCR. RESULTS: The serum activities of ALT,AST showed no remarkable change. However, after 7 days of hypoxia, ERD and ANH activities were remarkably elevated, and at 28 days induction rates reached up to155.5% and 42.2%, respectively. Meanwhile, the levels of mRNA expression of CYP3A2,CYP2E1 also increased by 220.5% and 102.8%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Chronic EHYP can remarkably increase the activities of ERD and ANH, whose mechanism is probably related to up-regulating of CYP3A2 and CYP2E1 expression at the transcriptive level.

Methods The origins, course, branches distribution, and anastomosis of lateral anterior malleous artery and periosteal vessels of the anterior external of tibia distally based were observed on 30 adult cadaveric feet. Results Lateral anterior malleolus arteies had 1～2 branches, whose diameters were(1.6?0.4)mm and the distances the above cusp of extrnal malleolys cusp were(1.1?0.4)cm, the arteries sent off the 1～3 pieces periosteum branches with diameter 0.4 to 0.8 mm, which distribute to the periostalr of anterior external of tibia distally based. To circulate anterior external of lateral malleouls of perforating descending branch of peroneal artery [the distances the above cusp of external malleolys cusp were (5.6?0.5)cm],the arteries sent off the 2～6 pieces periosteum branches with diameter 0.5 to 1.0 mm, which distributed to the periostealr of anterior external of tibia distally based and lateral malleolus. Both anastomosis site in the above cusp of external malleolys cusp were(1.7?0.6)cm, the distances the point of lateral anterior malleolus artery were(2.5?0.6)cm. The artery of anastomosis to undergo posterior of extensor digitorum brevis, along anterior border of tendon of short peroneal muscle, anastomosed with the lateral tarsal artery and the medial taesal atery. Conclusion It is an easy practical for repairing fracture of neck of talus fracture and ischemic necrosis of talus body to achieve the transposition of periosteal flap pedicled with the lateral anterior malleous vessel on the anterior external of tibia distally based.

Objectives To explore the process and regularity of graft after vascularized bone allograft. Methods An adult rabbit model of massive femoral defect was established and reconstmcted with vascularized bone allograft based by laterial rotating femoral vessel.The experiments were carried out in two groups,the experimental group(vascularized bone allograft)and the control group(nonvascularized bone allograft).Then observation on periosteum,cortex and marrow was performed after operation containing in ink-infused specimen. Results The revascularization in the experimental grouD was observed synchronicly on periosteum,cortex and marrow after operation,while the phenomenon of vascularization took place from periosteum to marrow in the control group.The density of micro-vessel in experimental group were 10.0±1.8,15.8±1.5 and 13.8±1.5,13.8±1.5 respectivly after 2,4,8 and 16 weeks.and those were 2.8±0.8,6.0±0.9,5.5±1.0,6.0±1.1 in control group.The ink-infused experiment demonstrated a better revascularization in the experimental group. Conclusion The vaseularization can promote revascularization of graft during bone allograft.

Objective To provide anatomic basis for transposition of vascularized radial midforearm flap. Methods On 40 adult cadaveric upper limber specimens injected with red dye, the origin, course, branchs, diameters and anastomosis of intermuscular branch of radial artery and its cutaneous branch were observed. Results Originating from radial artery, intermuscular branch of radial artery descended along periosteum closely between pronator teres and supinator, the main stem was (4.8?1.0) cm in length and (1.2?0.2) mm in diameter. After its periosteal branches were sent off to distribute over middle and inferior shaft of radius, its eutaneous branch perforated from intermuscle and deep fascia and anastomosed with some other cutaneous branches in the forearm. Perforating point of the cutaneous branch was located(11.1?1.3) cm beneath laleral epicondyle of humerus, its diameter was about(0.6?0.1)mm. Conclusion Radial midforrarm flap pedicled with intermuscular branch of radial artery can be transferred to repair soft tissue defect of elbow, forearm or hand.

Objective To investigate the status of microchimerism in recipients and the relation between microchimerism and immunologic tolerance after vascularized allograft bone transplantation. Methods X-ray and histological examinations were performed on recipients after massive vascularized shaft of femur from female Japanese white rabbit donors was transplanted to male recipients. Microchimerism in different organs and tissues were checked postoperatively using a semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a Y-chromosome specific primer at different time. Results X-ray and histological examinations showed typical bone union in the experiment group but irregular new bone calluses surrounded the transplanted bones, with high density sequestrum in the control group.Semiquantitative PCR with a Y-chyomosome specific primer indicated that the incidence of microchimerism in organs and tissues in the experiment group was higher than that in the control group postoperatively and increased with time. Conclusions After vascularized allograft bone transplantation, organs and tissues show microchimerism that has a positive correlation with the histocompatibility of the transplanted bones.

Objective To study the outcomes of two intervention strategies on the language development of young children with hearing loss greater than moderate degree by universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) system.Methods Infants and young children,born from Jan 2002 to Dec 2007 in Shanghai and failed UNHS,were included in this study.They received audiometric evaluations at the Shanghai Children's Hearing and Speech Center.Among those diagnosed with hearing loss greater than moderate degrees,65 were intervened at 6 months and followed up subsequently.According to hearing loss degree and intervention strategies,20 of 65 were included in the hearing aid group(M_(HA)),19 was in the severe hearing aid group(S_(HA)),9 in the profound hearing aid group(P_(HA)),and 17 in the profound cochlear implamation group(P_(CI)).Other 36 were not intervened at 6 months old but followed up also.The control group was 36 normal hearing young children.The hearing losse and speech development were analyzed for statistical study.Results Between the group without intervention and the control group,between the group intervened and without intervention,statistically significant differences were noted (P＜0.05) in the average hearing threshold and the developmental scores.Between the control group and anyone group among M_(HA),S_(HA) and P_(CI),no statistically significant differences (P＞0.05) were noted in the developmental scores.For the same hearing level between the group P_(HA) and P_(CI),statistically significant differences (P＜0.05) were noted in the developmental scores.The developmental scores of P_(HA) was lower than that of P_(CI).Conclusion Early intervention is effective for infants and young children with hearing loss greater than moderate degree.Their speech development is noticeably faster than that of those without any intervention.According to hearing loss degree,it was very important for acquiring the best speech development that selected the most proper intervention mode.
