Objective: To prepare a collagen rnembrane and to investigate its feasibi1ity as a derma1 scaffold. Metbods:Pig hide collagen was dispersed in 0. 5 mol/L acetic acid, co-precipitated with chordroitin-6-sulfate and lyophilized for 48 h toproduce a highly porous membrane. Cross-linking was in 0. 25% glutaraldehyde for 24 h. The membrane was implanted be-neath the flaps on the dorsal sites of SD rats. After implantation, biopsies were obtained periodically to study the tissue com-patibility, vascularity and stability. Results: The average pore size of the spongiform collagen membrane was 100 pm. Sub-dermal implantation of it showed that the inflammation was minimal, with no evidence of an acute rejective reaction. Conclu-siou: The spongiform collagen membrane prepared is easy to secure and produce, it has satisfied tissue compatibility, abilityof vascularity and optimum dermal scaffold structure.

To reconstruct a composite skin substitute composed of keratinocytes and collagen sponge as dermal scaffold. Collagen was extracted from fresh porcine skin. After being mixed with chondroitin sulfate, it was frozen and dried under vacuum to form a spongy membrane. Keratinocytes were separated from the foreskin with the routine method, and they seeded on the collagen membrane. The keratocytes which were carried by the collagen sponge were cultured, and the growth and proliferation were observed. The result showed that keratinocytes could grow and proliferate to form a confluent layer after 2～3 weeks. It indicated the the collagen sponge membrane showed no toxicity to human epidermal cells, and it could be used as a dermal scaffold in the construction of a composite skin substitute.

It put forward the mechanism of drug pricing and price-adjusting based on classification of drug value.It can set different prices according to different value The higher the value is,the higher the price will be.It could embody the principle of good quality,good price so as to and ensure the unity of price and value.

In order to explore the MRI volume of the amygdala and hippocampus in patients with major depression, quantitative MRI of the amygdala and hippocampus were studied in 22 patients with major depression and compared with 13 age-matched controls. The results showed that both groups exhibited similar significant hippocampal asymmetry (left smaller than right). The volume of the bilateral hippocampus was significantly smaller in the major depression group than that in control group. The patients had significant asymmetry of the amygdalar volumes (right smaller than left). No correlation was found between hippocampal volume abnormalities and ill duration. It was concluded that the hippocampus and amygdala within limbic-cortical networks may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of major depression.

Objective To explore the clinical features and diagnosis of primary immunodeifciency disease caused byTyk2 gene mutations.Methods Clinical data from the ifrst case in China diagnosed of primary immunodeifciency disease caused by Tyk2 gene mutation were retrospectively analyzed, and related literature was reviewed.Results One year and 3 month old boy suffered with repeated pulmonary infection, chronic otitis media, intractable eczema like rash, repeated skin abscess, HSV infection, intracellular bacterial infection, and remarkedly increased total IgE. It was detected that compound heterozygous mutations of c.2269C>G in No. 16 exon and c.149delC in No. 3 exon inTyk2 gene. Literature searching found other 8 cases (5 males and 3 females) of immune deifciency patients caused byTyk2 gene defects, all of which hadTyk2 gene homozygous mutations and presented with repeated infection of paranasal sinus and lung. In the 8 cases 6 cases were combined with mycobacterium tuverculosis infection, 4 cases had repeated virus infection, 4 cases had meningonecephalitis, 3 cases had intractable eczema like rash, 2 cases had salmonella enteritis, 1 case had remarkedly increased total IgE, one case had elevated eosinophils, 5 cases were born in intermarriage family and 1 case died of meningitis caused by unknown etiology.Conclusions When patients have repeated paranasal sinus infection and lung infection, combined with intracellular bacterial infection (including mycobacterium tuberculosis infection), and repeated virus infection or intractable eczema like rash, with or without increased total IgE, immunodeifciency disease caused by Tyk2 gene defection should be considered. Gene sequence analysis can assist in early diagnosis.

AIM To explore a long-term Kupffer cell culture method, which can best maintain the function and activity of cell and decrease the cellular damage. METHODS Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) in the supernatants were measured to observe the severity of cellular damage ,the function of Kupffer cell was reflected with the nitrogen monoxide(NO) content and the intracellular acid phosphatases(ACP) activity. In the conditions of common culture(CC),single collagen culture(SCC) and double collagen culture(DCC), with or without serum, study the maintenance of cellular function and the severity of cellular damage. RESULTS Compared with the other two methods, the LDH contents were significantly lower( P

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of CT in the hip joint dislocation.Methods We analyzed and compared 17 cases of the hip dislocation examined by X-ray and CT.Results X-ray plain film displayed hip joint dislocation in 15 cases,fractures in 10 cases,soft tissue swelling in 9 cases,widened hip joint space in 6 cases and bone fragment in 3 cases after restoration.CT showed hip joint dislocation and fractures in 17 cases,soft tissue swelling in 15 cases,widened hip joint space in 11 cases and bone fragment in 10 cases after restoration.Conclusion For the direction and the degree of hip joint dislocation,acetabulum fracture,bone fragment in articular space and soft tissue swelling,CT has distinct advantage.We find that CT may be one of a routine method in hip joint dislocation,especially after restoration.

Objective To investigate the long-term effects and risk factors of arterial polyvinyl alcohol resin (PVA) embolization for ⅢB and IV non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patient.Methods 126 patients with 1 B or V NSCLC were performed the perfusion with 5-FU,THP,DDP by PVA grain embolization under fluoroscopic control.All patients were followed up.Kaplan-Meier was used to calculate the survival rate and the median survival time,and Cox regression model was adopted to analyze related risk factors which affected curative effect.Results The median survival time was( 11.78 ± 3.24) months and 1 -,2-year survival rate was 39.1 ％,25.59％ in 126 patients with NSCLC.Cox model analysis showed that of the tumor staging,tumor size,location and combination chemotherapy were all independent risk factors of prognosis (all P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion Arterial embolization of PVA for treatment of NSCLC is effective.Tumor size,stage,location and combination chemotherapy are associated with prognosis of NSCLC.
