ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#Research for surgical methods and experience of sinus fibrous dysplasia treatment by auxiliary nasal endoscopy image navigation.@*METHOD@#Retrospective analysis of the records of 4 patients from March 2006 to December 2011 who were diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia of nasal sinuses, 2 male and 2 female, aged from 19 yrs to 55 yrs and average age was 38 yrs; 3 of them were destroyed of sinus floor, the other who had the bone fiber of sphenoidal sinus. By using 16 multi slice spiral CT and 3D reconstruction, the 4 cases were all treated by drill grinding abnormal fibrous tissue in the nasal sinus cavities with auxiliary nasal endoscopy image navigation, to achieve contour in the bone fiber cavities.@*RESULT@#Lesions of 4 cases were accurately found and grinded under auxiliary nasal endoscopy image navigation. For 3 patients, headache, nasal congestion, facial discomfort and other symptoms have gradually disappeared after operation. However, one patient with sinus floor destroyed suffered facial swelling and pain 3 month after operation, with ineffective conservation treatment outcomes. After CT re-scan, it showed that there were a large number of bone residue in maxillary sinus during the re-operation. The reason was that the surgical cavity was not rinsed off which leaded to maxillary sinus congestion. With the methods of expansion of the maxillary sinus, flushing the cavity, and postoperative nasal and maxillary sinus rinse, symptoms disappeared 1 month later without recurrence.@*CONCLUSION@#Patients with fibrous dysplasia of nasal sinuses are treated thoroughly, securely, and effectually, by drill grinding abnormal fibrous tissue in the nasal sinus cavities with auxiliary nasal endoscopy image navigation, to achieve contour in the bone fiber cavities.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze clinical features and mutation in MYH9 gene for a family featuring autosomal dominant May-Hegglin anomaly.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical and pathological features of all family members were analyzed. Blood samples were collected from the proband and other family members, and genomic DNA was extracted. Potential mutations of MYH9 gene exons 10, 25, 26, 30, 38 and 40 were screened with PCR and direct sequencing. After a mutation was identified in the proband, other affected members as well as healthy members from this family were analyzed with a pair of primers to amplify the mutant site. The PCR products were digested with Taq I enzyme and analyzed with agarose gel electrophoresis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All affected members had bleeding tendency and typical features including giant platelets, thrombocytopenia and characteristic Dohle body-like leukocyte inclusions. A heterozygous missense mutation c.5521G>A (p.Glu1841Lys) in exon 38 of the MYH9 gene was identified in all affected members from this family.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The variant, c.5521G>A (p.Glu1841Lys) of MYH9, has co-segregated with the phenotype in the family. The mutant site is a hot spot in Chinese population.</p>

Objective To study the effects of resveratrol against toxicity induced by arsenic trioxide in rats.Methods Arsenic trioxide was given to SD rats intraperitoneally for 4 weeks.Resveratrol was injected intraperitoneally to the animals 4 h before arsenic trioxide challenge at dose of 30,60,or 120 mg?kg-1?d-1.Four weeks later,the contents of malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),nitric oxide(NO),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) in serum,lung,spleen,liver and brain tissues were measured.Results Compared with the normal control rats,arsenic trioxide challenge resulted in increases of NO and MDA contents in serum,lung,spleen,liver and brain tissues,and decreases of GSH-Px and SOD levels in the rats received arsenic trioxide only.Resveratrol significantly inhibited these changes induced by arsenic trioxide in rat serum,lung,spleen,liver and brain tissues in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion Resveratrol can protect antiperoxidase activity and inhibit peroxide productions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the growth and development as well as reproductive capacity of CL Long Evans rats. Methods Eighty CL Long Evans rats(80 days old)were bred in a barrier system. A monogamous mating system is used to reproduce 5 litters. Their main indexes of growth and reproduction were determined. The body weight gain of 60 second litter rats were analyzed from day 20 to 100. Results The number and weight of the fetus, the weaning time weight per cote and per litter in the second litter were the highest, and the fifth litter was the lowest. The growth and development curve was the same as that announced by Taconic. Conclusion Long Evans rats have been confirmed suitable for continual reproduction for 4 litters and the second litter is the best one for mating.
