Conclusion It is better choice for repairing complex tissue defection in leg by combining giant free flap transplantation and it is also reliable method for flap circulation by opposite lateral vessel anastomosis.

To evaluate the immunities of biodegradable microsphere as a release delivery system for DNA vaccine against Infectious Bursal Disease Virus, in our study, silk fibroin/chitosan microsphere adjuvant was prepared with a precipitation/coacervation method. Both glutaraldehyde and Na2SO4 solution were used in cross-linking. No immune chicken were intramuscularly inoculated at 14 day-old and boosted 2 weeks later. The results show that glutaraldehyde destroyed the DNA activity of the vaccine whereas Na2SO4 solution did not. Factors of the chitosan concentration 0.5% (pH 5.0), silk fibroin concentration 0.6%, plasmid DNA (500 microg/mL) dissolved in 2% Na2SO4 solution were optimized to produce microsphere, with a loading capacity of 89.14%. The average particle size of SF-CS/pCI-VP2/4/3 microsphere is 1.98 microm, and it can protect the loading DNA vaccine from DNase I digestion. Data from anti IBDV ELISA antibodies in the serum show that immunization activity of the microsphere groups were generally higher than plasmid vaccine group (P < 0.05), and the SF/CS compound microspheres group was better than that of sole CS microsphere group. The developed SF/CS microspheres are a very promising vaccine delivery system.

Objective To explore the lymph nodes (LN) metastasis characters of the endometrial carcinoma and its relation with the patients' prognosis. Methods A retrospective study was carried out on 227 cases of endometrial carcinoma who admitted to our department and underwent LN excision from Jul. 2000 to Feb. 2008. Results Among 227 cases who underwent pelvic LN excision, there were 22 cases (9.7%) presented LN metastasis. There were 12 cases with positive external iliac LN from 20 cases of patients with data in LN grouping. Para-aortic LN excision was carried out on 138 patients. There were 6 cases with positive para-aortic LN, 5 cases of them together with pelvic LN metastasis. Those patients with cervix involvement, annex metastasis, deep myometrium infiltration, grade 2-3 and negative estrogen receptor occurred pelvic LN metastasis more frequently than the others ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Among the 6 cases with positive para-aortic LN, there were 3 cases ( 3/6) with deep myometrium infiltration. For those whose paraaortic LN was negative, it was only 16. 7% (22 cases). But there were no difference statistically between them ( P＞ 0. 05 ). There were significant difference in 3 years disease-free survival rate between patients with positive pelvic LN or negative pelvic LN [(81. 8 ± 8. 2)% vs ( 97. 4 ± 1. 2 ) % , P = 0. 004]. While there were not significant difference in 3 years disease-free survival rate between patients with positive para-aortic LN or negative para-aortic LN [100% vs ( 96. 7 ± 1. 6) % , P ＞ 0. 05]. Single factor analysis showed that the age more than 50 years, annex metastasis and pelvic LN metastasis related with the recurrence (P ＜0. 01). But cervix involvement, deep myometrium infiltration, para-aortic LN metastasis, pathology type, tumor grade and estrogen receptor did not relate with the recurrence ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Cox regression analysis showed that annex metastasis and the age of patients were independent risk factors affecting the recurrence ( P = 0. 011, P = 0. 025 ). Conclusions The most common site of pelvic LN metastasis is the external iliac LN for endometrial carcinoma patients. The patients with positive para-aortic LN always accompanied pelvic LN metastasis. Those patients with cervical involvement, annex metastasis, deep myometrium infiltration, poor differentiation and negative estrogen receptor be more likely exist pelvic LN metastasis. Pelvic LN metastasis may affect the prognosis of endometrial carcinoma patients.

Background Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is an active regulator of intraocular pressure.The ET-1 level in aqueous humor is elevated in primary open-angle glaucoma,normal intraocular tension glaucoma and the animal model of glaucoma.There is now accumulating evidence for a role of ET-1 in the pathogenesis of glaucoma.However,the effect of ET-1 on the phagocytic function in trabecular meshwork cells (TMCs) is unclear.ObjectiveThis study is to observe the effect of ET-1 on the phagocytic function in cultured human TMCs.Methods Human trabecular meshwork tissue was obtained from healthy donator and cultured and subcultured in vitro by the explant culture method.The third passage of human TMCs were incubated with fluoresent red-labeled latex beads for 0,4,8,12,24,48 and 72 hours.The phagocytic kinetics of human TMCs were continuously evaluated by counting the number of latex beads in TMCs using a fluorescence microscope.Depending on the concentrations of ET-1 in culture medium,the TMCs were divided into control group (without ET-1),low-dose ET-1 (10~(-9)mol/L) treatment group,middle-dose ET-1 (10~(-8)mol/L) treatment group and high-dose ET-1 (10~(-7) mol/L) treatment group.In addition,based on the addition of endothelin receptor (ETAR) antagonist,the TMCs were divided into control group (without ETAR antagonist),ET-1 (10~(-8)mol/L) treatment group,ETAR antagonist (1×10~(-7)mol/L BQ123+10~(-8)mol/L ET-1) treatment group and ETBR antagonist(1×10~(-7) mol/L BQ788+10~(-8) mol/L ET-1)treatment group.TMCs of each group were incubated with latex beads,and the numbers of latex beads in TMCs were counted under a fluorescent microscope.Results Cultured HTM cells showed positive reactions for FN,LN,NSE and negative response for FⅧRag.The phagocytic kinetics test revealed that the latex beads were detected 4 hours after incubation.The density of latex beads was gradually increased with the delay of incubation duration and peaked at 24 hours.The number of the latex beads saturated after 48 hours of incubation.However,the number of latex beads in TMCs was significantly reduced after the addition of ET-1 in a dose-dependent manner (F=28.91,P＜0.05).The number of latex beads in the ET-1 group was less than that in the control group and the ETAR receptor antagonist group (q=13.7228,q=9.4312,P＜0.05).No significant difference was found in latex beads number between the ET-1 group and the ETBR antagonist group (q=1.1600,P＞0.05).Conclusion ET-1 inhibits the phagocytic function of human TMCs and ETAR plays a partial role in the phagocytic function of human TMCs.
