Objective To evaluate the value of the clinical application of endoscopieally assisted re-duction malarplasty. Methods A total of 12 women (aged 21 -36 years) with prominent zygoma were re-shaped by the endoscope-assisted technique. Results The use of an endoscope offered a clear view of the operating field and facilitated accurate and easy manipulation. These patients were successfully treated for this new technique: reduced risk of operating injuries. Conclusion It is showed that the endoscopic assis-ted correction of prominent zygoma offers more satisfactory clinical results with a clear view of operation and a minimally invasive technique.

Objective To search for a procedure for correction of square face. Methods 68 patients with square face (aged from 21～40 years, with 65 females and 3 males) underwent osteetomy combined mandibular angle triangle resection with lateral cortex around the mandibular angle-splitting by intraoral approach. The mandible outer cortex was splited with bone chisel and mandible angle was resected by the high-speed pneumatic drill. The bulky masseter muscle and the enbonpoint buecal fat-pad were scissored. Results The application of high-speed pneumatic drill and bone chisel facilitated resection of the mandibular angle with lateral cortex splitting osteetomy. The operative effects were satisfactory in 56 patients during 3-24 months of follow-up. The bigonial distance was effectively re-duced, and facial shape became ellipse. The gross asymmetry and mandibular fracture were not conse-quences. The lateral contour of the mandibular angle was natural. Conclusion Ostectomy of mandible angle and lateral cortex of the mandible allows the reduction of the mandibular contour of the frontal view and the lateral contour of mandibular angle becomes soft, giving a more natural appearance. This new method is worthy to be applied widely because of the good result with effective reduction of the mandibular width.

Objective To survey the incidence of cardiovascular damage in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients and explore the related risk factors.And to establish the risk prediction models for the future.Methods The electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac ultrasonography (UCG) of 122 AS patients (group A)in the department of rheumatology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2001 to 2011 were analyzed.Fifty-nine AS patients with abnormal ECG and/or UCG findings consisted of the study group (group A1),the other 63 AS patients without cardiovascular damage were the control group (group A2).We selected 100healthy controls (group B).All healthy controls had ECG and UCG tests.The ECG and UCG findings of the group A1 were analyzed,the clinical manifestations and laboratory results were compared between group A1and A2.A univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were carried out to determine the risk factors related to cardiovascular damage in AS.Results The prevalence rate of cardiovascular damage in AS patients was 48.4％ (59/122).While the prevalence of ECG and or UCG abnormality in healthy controls was 12.0％ (12/100),the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05).In group A1,the main findings in ECG were abnormal sinus node function,high voltage in left ventricle and ST-T changes,other findings were atrioventricular block,branch bundle block and premature beats.In group A1,the main findings in UCG were valvular diseases and arterial root widening,other abnormal findings were pericardial effusion,left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and mild pulmonary hypertension.The level of ESR,CRP,RBC,HGB,blood glucose,the number of peripheral joint involvement,the severity of sacroiliac arthritis and the age were significantly different between group A1 and A2 (P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age and CRP were risk factors for cardiovascular damage in AS patients.Conclusion The prevalence of cardiovascular damage in ankylosing spondylitis is relatively high.Age and CRP are the risk factors contributing to cardiovascular damage in AS patients.

Nanobody is a kind of antibody from camel, which misses light chain. Nanobody has the same antigen binding specificity and affinity as mAb. Moreover, because of its small molecular weight, high stability and easy preparation, nanobody has great value of biomedical applications. In this study, we successfully prepared highly pure antiEGFR nanobody in E.coli using genetic engineering techniques. Cell proliferation assay (CCK-8 assay) and migration experiments (cell scratch test and Transwell assay) indicated that the recombinant antiEGFRnano can significantly inhibit the proliferation and migration of endometrial cancer cells. These results provide a new way of thinking and methods for EGFR-targeted therapy of endometrial cancer.

Objective To study the spatial variation of T2 relaxation time of cartilage of knee in healthy adults.Methods T2 values of cartilage of knee in 21 asymptomatic young male adults ( age ranged 24 to 39 years ; mean age , 30 years) were calculated by using a multiecho,spin-echo MR imaging sequence at 1.5T MR scanner on sagittal T2 maps,including the patellar,distal femoral weight and non-weight-bearing as well as proximal tibial weight-bearing cartilages,the differences in the spatial variation between them were analysed using F test.Results All 21 asymptomatic volunteers demonstrated a consistent pattern of spatial variation of T2 values cartilage of knee with longer T2 values near the subchondral bone,decreased in deep zoon and increased in articular surface , there was difference between them (F=70.892 , P＜0.05 ) . The greates spatial variation occurred in the patella.T2 value(26.56 ms±4.4 ms) in the deeper zoon of cartilage of the patella was obviously lower than that of the weight-and non-weight-bearing articular cartilage (P = 0.001 ) . Lateral femoral weight-bearing articular cartilage showed lower T2 value ( 35.2 ms ± 6.31 ms) in the outer transitional superficial zone than thatof the patella and non-weight-bearing cartilage,P=0.002,P=0.000 respectively.Lateral tibial weight-bearing articular cartilage showed showed lower T2 value(37.11 ms±6.6 ms)in the outer transitional superficial zone than that of non-weight-bearing cartilage(P=0.000). Conclusion The spatial variation of T2 relaxation time of cartilage of knee in the vivo in the asymptomatic young adults is like slightly concave curve at 1.5T MR system,that is of reference value in study of degenerative osteoarthritis.

Objective During pregnancy , exosomes can be released from the placenta into maternal circulation and play im-portant roles in normal pregnancy or placenta-related diseases .We aimed to establish a simple and efficient method for isolating and i-dentifying placental exosomes from maternal serum and lay a foundation for the studies of pregnancy -related diseases . Methods Using sucrose gradient centrifugation with 8% PEG6000 precipitation twice , we isolated and purified placenta-derived exosomes from normal maternal serum and detected their molecular markers CD 63 , CD81 and PLAP by Western blot , followed by silver staining anal-ysis of the protein profile of the exosome pellet .We identified the morphology of the placenta-derived exosomes by transmission electron microscopy ( TEM) and measured the size and distribution of the particles by dynamic light scattering ( DLS) . Results Silver stai-ning of the protein profiles of the exosomes after sucrose gradient centrifugation clearly revealed the bands of the protein molecules . Western blot showed the expressions of CD 63, CD81, and PLAP in the 21-34%density layer, which demonstrated the presence of serum placental exosomes mainly in the 1.09-1.16 g/mL density layer.TEM exhibited that the placenta-derived exosomes were round or oval cup-shaped, specifically expressing PLAP, and the particles were uniform in size, with a mean diameter of (41.79 ±11.94) nm. Conclusion A simple, fast, and efficient method was successfully established for isolating placenta-derived exosomes from ma-ternal serum, which provides a basis for studying the roles of placental exosomes in normal pregnancy and placenta -related diseases.
