AIM: To observe the immunoregulation of all ogeneic cornea on the human peripheral blood T lymphocytes in vitro. METHODS: After Co-culture of human peripheral blood lymphocytes and allogeneic cornea in vitro, T lymphocytes were labeled by monoclonal ant ibody, and analyzed by fluorescent activated cell sorter (FACS). RESULTS: CD25 expression on T lymphocytes in control was 25.2%, after stimulated by the allogeneic cornea or PDB, CD25 expression on T lymphocy tes was 56.8% and 80.9%, respectively. After stimulated by the allogeneic corn ea, CD25 expression on CD 4+ or CD 8+ T lymphocytes were 67.3% and 52.3% , respectively. CONCLUSION: Allageneic cornea stimulates CD25 expression on huma n peripheral blood T lymphocytes, and the CD25 expression on CD 4+ T lymphocy tes is more prominent than CD 8+ T lymphocytes.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the feasibility of using polyporus silk fibroin as a kind of novel material for facial nerve regeneration.

METHODSThe porous silk fibroin conduit was used in the reconstruction of a 5 mm facial nerve gap of SD rat. Chitosan conduit was taken as control group. General observation, electrophysiological study, histological study and image analysis were performed 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks postoperatively.

RESULTSThe facial nerve of SD rat regenerated successfully as time passed through. Mean CAP percentage of regenerated nerve in SF conduit was 24.94% +/- 5.73% 8 weeks postoperatively, which had no statistical significance with that of chitosan conduit group (P = 1.125). And the average number of myelinated myelinated nerve fibers in SF conduit was 62. 5 +/- 6. 3, which had statistical significance with that in chitosan conduit group (P = 0.016).

CONCLUSIONSThe porous silk fibroin conduit could effectively repair facial nerve defect and improve peripheral nerve functional recovery.

Objective:To explore the curative effect of laparoscopic surgery for hepatic cysticercosis.Methods:Search the literature from February 2010 to February 2020 on literature platforms such as Wanfang Data, VIP, CNKI, Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, etc. the key words were "肝囊型包虫病" , "细粒棘球蚴" , "手术" , "开腹手术" , "腹腔镜" , "微创手术" , " echinococcosis " , " liver or hepatic " , " laparoscopic or minimal invasive " . Data on intraoperative indicators (e.g., operation time, bleeding volume), postoperative complications, hospital stay, recurrence rate, etc. in the literature included in the study were extracted and meta-analyzed.Results:A total of 9 articles were included, including 2 prospective studies and 7 retrospective case-control studies. A total of 1031 patients were enrolled, including 272 in the laparoscopic group and 759 in the laparotomy group. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the total postoperative complication rate in the laparoscopic group was lower than that in the laparotomy group ( OR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.10-2.45, P<0.05). Incision-related complications in the laparoscopy group and laparotomy group the difference was statistically significant ( OR=2.81, 95% CI: 1.03-7.70, P<0.05), and the hospital stay in the laparoscopic group was shorter ( SMD=1.21, 95% CI: 0.47-1.96, P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in operation time, postoperative bile leakage, residual cavity infection and effusion, and postoperative recurrence rate ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Under the premise of strictly grasping the indication of laparoscopic surgery, the incidence of complications after laparoscopic surgery is low, the hospitalization time is short.

Methods The operating principle, construction design, electronic control system and software program flowchart of a robot transfer arm for victim-transfer were introduced.Results and Conclusion The victim didn not have to change their body posture during transfer. The procedure is very simple.A push at only one key is enough,without secondary injury.

This study was aimed to investigate the prevalence and genotype distribution of heterozygotes in beta-thalassemia combining deletional alpha-thalassemia by using molecular detection and haematological methods. Three common deletions of alpha-thalassemia were detected by using gap-PCR. The mutations of beta-thalassemia were identified by using PCR with reverse dot blot hybridization. The routine analysis of blood cells was carried out. The results indicated that 15 cases from the 81 beta-thalassemia traits were found to be the compound heterozygosity for beta-thalassemia and alpha-thalassemia with 9 different types of gene defects with 18.52% detection rate. There were 6 cases (7.41%) of beta-thalassemia heterozygote combining alpha-thalassemia-1 gene (--(SEA)/alphaalpha), 8 cases (9.88%) combining with alpha-thalassemia-2 gene including 6 (7.41%) right ward deletion (-alpha(3.7)/alphaalpha) and 2 (2.47%) left ward deletion (-alpha(4.2)/alphaalpha), and 1 case (1.23%) combining deletional HbH gene (--(SEA)/-alpha(3.7)). No significant differences were found between beta-thalassemia heterozygotes combining deletional alpha-thalassemia and pure beta-thalassemia in all RBC parameters. It is concluded that the incidence of beta-thalassemia heterozygotes combining with deletional alpha-thalassemia is frequent in Wuzhou city. The hematological analysis can not give specificity for diagnosing these dual heterozygotes. Gap-PCR as a routine method for thalassemia screening has the advantages in reducing the possibility of failing to detect the combining heterozygosity for beta-thalassemia and alpha-thalassemia. It is more useful for genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis of this disease.

Changes of functional connectivity network of human V5 in different brain activity was investigated by combining spatial independent component analysis with temporal correlation. First, V5 was localized by performing spatial independent component analysis on the data from block design visual motion runs; then low frequency correlations between V5 and other regions were computed in two steady states (resting state and the state with continuous visual motion stimulus) to detect the functional connectivity networks. The results of experiment indicated: The functional connectivity network of V5 was more extensive and was consistent with the known anatomical connectivity during rest; when subjects were viewing motion, the network was limited in the visual cortex, suggesting that V5 was acting in concert with a network specific to the visual motion processing task.
