Objective To evaluate the application of the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) artificial eye in acquired ophthalmostewesis. Methods We summarized the experience in the application of PMMA in prosthesis for 8 years. 1155 patients were involved in the artificial eye custom-made program. The artificial eye was individually prepared based on the patient's condition and characters of the healthy eye.Results PMMA artificial eye associated with hydroxyl apatite implantation gave good cosmetic results with good motility, and there was no rejective reaction. The artificial eye was almost same to the real one in color and transparency. Conclusion It is suggested that PMMA is one of the best materials for manufacture of artificial eye at present.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of the procedure that involves drilling and inserting a motility peg at the time of hydroxyapatite orbital implant.Methods 89 patients who needed hydroxyapatite orbital implant were divided into groups A and B.The patients in group A were drilled and inserted a motility titanium peg when hydroxyapatite implantation.The patients in group B were drilled and inserted a motility titanium peg 6 months after hydroxyapatite implantation.Data were recorded.including the rate of postoperative pain and conjunctive edema,postoperative facial appearance,motility of the artifieial eye,the rate of hydroxyapatite exposure,excursion and extrusion of titanium peg and other complications.Results The mobility of the prosthesis was 44.97%in group A,and 45.34%in group B.There was no difference in appearance and the motility of their artificial eye between the two groups.The rate of excursion of titanium peg was 4.2% in group A and 7.3%in group B and no statistical difference was found between the two groups.There were no prosthesis exposure,extrusion of titanium peg,secondary infeetion and other complication in one-year follow-up.There were no difference in the rate of postoperative pain and eonjunctive edema in first operative stage.The postoperative reaction in group A was lighter than that in group B in secondary operanve stage.Conclusion The hydroxyapatite orbital implant primary procedure drilling is simple,safe,convenient and effective.It is worth to recommend that procedure that involves drilling and inserting a motility peg at the time of hydroxyapatite orbitaI primary implant.

Objective: To establish a risk prediction model and scoring system in patients with side branch (SB) occlusion during coronary bifurcation intervention. Methods: A total of 7007 consecutive patients who received percutanenous coronary intervention (PCI) in our hospital from 2012-02 to 2012-07 were recruited and 1545 patients (with 1601 bifurcation lesions) treated by single stent technique or main vessel stenting ifrst strategy were selected for our study. According to weather SB occlusion occurred during operation, the lesions were divided into 2 groups: Non-SB occlusion group,n=1431 and SB occlusion group,n=114. The data set of the ifrst 1200/1601 lesions by time sequence, was used for establishing the risk model and scoring system, the data set of rest 401 lesions was used for model validation. Results: The modeling data set presented that the relationship between pre-operative main vessel plaque and the position of branch vessel, the main blood vessel pre-stenting TIMI grade, the stenosis degree of pre-operative bifurcation nucleus, the angle of pre-operative bifurcation and the ratio of pre-senting stenosis degree of branch diameter and pre-operative main vessel to branch vessel diameter were the independent risk factors for branch occlusion. The risk model ROC=0.80, 95% CI 0.75-0.85, Hosmer-Lemeshow HLP=1.00; the scoring system ROC=0.76, 95% CI 0.71-0.82, HLP=0.12. The validation data set ROC=0.81, 95% CI 0.73-0.89, HLP=0.77; the scoring system ROC=0.77, 95% CI 0.69-0.86, HLP=0.58. The quartile integration of both data sets indicated that the patients with the integration score ≥ 10 had the higher risk for SB occlusion than those with integration score < 10 during the operation,P<0.001. Conclusion: Our research developed a simple and user-friendly system, it may distinguish the patients with high risk of SB occlusion during bifurcation intervention by quantitative stratiifcation of coronary angiographic imaging.

A bacterial cell surface display technique based on an ice nucleation protein has been employed for the development of live vaccine against viral infection.Due to its ubiquitous ability to invade host cells,Salmonella typhimurium might be a good candidate for displaying viral antigens.We demonstrated the surface display of domain III of Japanese encephalitis virus E protein and the enhanced green fluorescent protein on S.typhimurium BRD509 using the ice nucleation protein.The effects of the motif in the ice nucleation protein on the effective display of integral protein were also investigated.The results showed that display motifs in the protein can target integral foreign protein on the surface of S.typhimurium BRD509.Moreover,recombinant strains with surface displayed viral proteins retained their invasiveness,suggesting that the recombinant S.typhimurium can be used as live vaccine vector for eliciting complete immunogenicity.The data may yield better understanding of the mechanism by which ice nucleation protein displays foreign proteins in the Salmonella strain.

With the continuous development of the cancer stem cell theory,biomarkers for CSCs (Cancer stem cells) have gradually become the hot issues in tumor research.As the most commonly used CSCs biomarker,CD44 gains lots of attentions.This paper will review recent research about CD44 molecule and its powerful role in regulating tumor progenesis and progression.

Serum 25-(OH)D3concentration was determined in subjects with different types of obesity. The serum 25-(OH)D3levels in overweight or obese and central obese subjects were lower than that in non-obese subjects.(P＜0.01). In a multiple linear regression analysis serum 25-(OH)D3was independently and negatively correlated with body mass index and waist circumference.

Cultured human testicular tissues were grouped as follows:control group,group tracted with single dosc of human chorionic gonadotropin(hCG), group treated with double doses of hCG given at three-day-interval and group treated with multiple doses of hCG. The dose of hCG was 20kIU/L,and it was added into the medium and incubated for 24 hours. Testosterone was measured by RIA. The result indicated that all three hCG-treated groups had a testosterone secretion peak at 48-72 hours after the first dose of hCG. After the second hCG treatment given in three days interval the testosterone increased again. but its maximal rise reduced. Multiple doses of hCG given successively inhibited the response of Leydig cells to hCG stimulation.

The clinical features and gene mutation characteristics of 2 children who suffered from Cornelia de Lange syndrome(CdLs)and were admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University in March 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.The 2 cases developed in infancy and presented with intractable epilepsy were accompanied with developmental retardation and special appearance.It was obvious that the 2 children had SMC1A gene mutations on X chromosome.Case 1 was frameshift mutations in the SMC1A gene at c. 2561dupA(p.K854fs), and case 2 was mutations in the SMC1A gene at c. 3441+ 1G>A(exon24)splicing mutation.These were heterozygous de novo mutations, and weren′t detected in their parents, which was not reported in literatures.In this study, 2 cases of CdLs were caused by SMC1A gene mutation, which enriched the human gene mutation database.CdLs should be considered in children with early-onset epilepsy, especially appearance and developmental retardation.Genetic testing is the most important diagnostic method.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of the common first attack of headache in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). Methods The clinical data of 51 patients who were diagnosed as CVST with MR venography (MRV)or DSA were collected retrospectively. The patients were divided into either a acute group (≤3 week,n= 32)or a chronic group (>3 weeks, n=19). Results (1)The age of onset of symptoms in these patients was 20 to 40 years,and most of them were females. Of all the first symptoms,headache ranked first,accounting for 84. 3%(43/51 );headache only accounted for 52. 9%(27/51 ),headache with other symptoms (ophthalmic symptoms, hemiplegia,and aphasia,etc. )accounted for 31. 4%(16/51 ),and other symptoms such as epilepsy, paralysis,and ophthalmic symptoms accounted for 15. 7%(8/51). (2)The proportion of headache only as the first symptom in the acute group was higher than that in the chronic group (65. 6% vs. 31. 6%,P<0. 05), and the proportion of chronic headache with other symptoms as the first symptom in the chronic group was higher than that of the acute group (P<0. 05). In addition,the proportion of the first symptom including ophthalmic manifestations in the chronic group was higher than that of the acute group (P <0.01 ). (3)Forty-three patients with headache,dull headache or distensible pain accounted for 72. 1%(31/43), thunderclap headache accounted for 11. 6%(5/43),and other kinds of headache accounted for 16. 3%(6/43),however,there were no significant differences about the types of headache between the two groups (all P>0. 05 ). Conclusion Young patients without previous history of migraine,especially women of childbearing age with sudden onset and progressive worsening headache,and the patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension,CVST should be considered as an important possibility.
