Chinese Journal of Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases 1987;0(02):-
One pathogenic free-living amoeba, strain W042302 (Fig. 1.), was first isolated from the cooling water of a power plant in Shanghai, in April, 1986. It could result in the deaths of mice, and recovered from the brain tissue of the dead mice. This pathogenic free living amoeba could be induced into trophozoite with two flagellae (Fig. 2.). Protein patterns obtained by PAGE showed twelve bands stained by Coomassie brilliant blue R250. The isoenzyme patterns of both acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase of the amoebic extract exhibit only a single band, while iactate dehydrogenase is devoid of noticeable activity. From the results obtained in the present study, it is inferred that strain W042302 may be belong to Naegleria australiensis.
2.The Management of the Intractable Exposure of Hydroxyapatite Inplants by Transposition of Conjunctiva-müller Muscular Flap
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2001;19(3):242-243
ObjectiveTo investigate a repair method for intractable exposure of hydroxyapatite implants.MethodsAt the upper edge of conjunctival defect,the conjunctival tissues were separated by scissors along the surface of exposed base plate of ocular prosthesis to make a conjunctival flap in the size as same as the exposed area.This procedure of separation was continued between the müller muscle and lavator through the fornix till the upper edge of tarsal plate to form a flap consisting of conjunctiva,aponeurosis and müller muscle,which was transposed to cover the defect area.Results5 patients with intractable exposure of hydroxyapatite implants treated with the above procedure,no case was found to be recurred in 5 to 6 months of follow-up.ConclusionThe transposition of conjunctiva-müller muscular flap is an effective method for the management of the intractable exposure of hydroxyapatite implants

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2012;19(18):2748-2749
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of vitapex paste in the treatment of deciduous teeth with periapical inflammation.Methods 112 children with chronic apicitis of deciduous teeth were divided into two groups randomly and averagely.The research group used vitapex paste,while the control group used zinc oxide eugenol paste.The clinical effects of the 2 groups were compared.Results Compared to the control group,the response to root canal filling of the research group was much weaker ( 10.7% to 25.0% ),which had statistical difference ( x2 =3.02,P =0.0 1 1 ).There wasalso significant difference betweenthe success rateofthetwogroups after 1 year followed up( x2 =5.16,P =0.004).Conclusion sing vitapex paste for root canal filling had a higher success rate and a weaker respose to root canal filling.
6.Control Investigation of Psychologic Status between Post-traumatic Epilepsy Patients and Their Spouses
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2009;15(2):180-182
Objective To investigate and compare the special psychologic characteristics of the post-traumatic epilepsy patients and their spouses.Methods The complete clinical data of 244 patients and their spouses were retrospectively and constractively analyzed. There were two distinct groups because of the etiology: group A including 122 patients of post-traumatic epilepsy and their spouses, and group B including essential epilepsy. Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were used to evaluate the psychologic status of objects.Results All of the single-item score of SCL-90 were significantly higher than the China norm (P<0.01) in both groups, and the score in group A was higher than that in group B. But the characteristics of the abnormal data were diffierent in patient from in spouse. The scores of the post-traumatic patients were higher than that of the spouses in 3 items, and lower in 5 items. Specially the depression and anxiety emotion of the spouses were more obvious than the patients in group A (P<0.01).Conclusion Both the patient and spouse have the conspicuous psychosomatic disorder, and the appearance is diffierent from each other. The psychosomatic disorder of post-traumatic epilepsy patient and spouse is more conspicuous than the essential epilepsy.

Objective To summarize the experience of emergency orthotopic liver transplantation (EOLT) in fulminant hepatic failure (FHF).Methods The clinical date of 4 cases of FHF successfully subject to EOLT were retrospectively analyzed.Results Four patients’ consciousness completely recovered in 12 to 48 h after operation, no surgical complication occurred; Acute rejection postoperatively occurred in 2 patients and reversed after treatment. Now 4 patients were survived for 38, 17, 11, 7 months respectively with good liver function, and 3 of them went to work again.Conclusion EOLT is an effective means to cure FHF. Choosing appropriate perioperative management and (operative) timing is essential to improve the successful rate of EOLT.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and risk factors for epilepsy during the acute phase of aseptic meningitis. Methods 138 cases of aseptic meningitis with complete clinical data were retrospectively reviewed. Among them 21 had seizures, and 117 had not. All of them were inpatients in the same period after meningitis. Based on a standardized questionnaire, a database was established with Microsoft Access 2002 including 51 indexes and some subindexes. Univariate analysis and nonconditional multivariate stepwise logistic regression were carried out based on the summarization of the characters of clinical seizure. Results Fourteen cases (66.7%) manifested generalized seizures in those patients with epilepsy. Seventeen patients (80.1%) experienced epilepsy within 2 weeks after meningitis. The independent risk factors for seizures during the acute phase of aseptic meningitis were the increased contents of cerebrospinal fluid protein (OR=19.40), raised intracranial pressure (OR=8.848), and low-voltage activity in electroencephalogram (OR=5.039). Conclusions Generalized seizure is the major type of epilepsy induced by acute aseptic meningitis. Epilepsy occurred within 2 weeks in most patients with meningitis and seizures. High level of cerebrospinal fluid protein, raised intracranial pressure and low-voltage activity in electroencephalogram were the main predictive risk factors for epilepsy during the acute phase of aseptic meningitis.

BACKGROUND:Pelvic fractures are mostly caused by high energy trauma. With the development of imaging techniques and in-depth study of the anatomical structure of the pelvis and biomechanics, internal fixation and external fixation materials are gradual y being used in the repair of pelvic fracture. OBJECTIVE:To summarize features and applications of external fixation stent material, percutaneous screw fixation, percutaneous sacral iliac screw material for internal fixation and intramedul ary tensile screw material for internal fixation after pelvic fracture. METHODS:We retrieved Wanfang Database and PubMed for studies on the application of internal fixation material and external fixation material in pelvic fracture from 1994 to 2015. Al data were analyzed and summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Application of pelvic external fixation materials contributed to the stability of early pelvic fractures, showed smal injury, could increase the reliability of fixation. However, the biomechanical stability of external fixation materials was lower than other internal fixation, could only be used for the early temporary fixation of unstable pelvic fractures in particular cases. Internal fixation materials can achieve anatomical reduction, accorded with the requirements of the physical mechanics of the pelvis, improve the stability of the pelvis, and have become the first choice for repair of unstable pelvic fractures. Currently used methods are percutaneous hol ow screw fixation, percutaneous fixation of the sacral iliac screw, and intramedul ary lag screw fixation. The combination of external fixation and internal fixation can effectively restore the stability of the pelvic cavity. Therefore, we should consider the location, type and stability of the fracture to select the appropriate internal fixation and external fixation materials.
