ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the clinical aesthetic effect of vermilion repair on cleft lips after using double-line reconstruction.Methods 68 children with cleft lip were repaired according to the principle of double-line reconstruction,and two contents including 7 projects,such as shapes of upper lips,vermilion borders of lips,vermilion shapes and lips,etc,were evaluated comprehensively within one month after operation for assessing the postoperative effect.Results 68 cases were followed up,with the follow-up rate of 100％,and 62 cases (91.2％) were satisfied with the vermilion repair.Six cases (8.8％) had a common effect of vermilion shapes after repair.In the 7 contents evaluated,satisfactory results were achieved in the projects except the relatively poor symmetry vermilion borders of lips.Conclusions The double-line reconstruction helps to improve the aesthetic effect of vermilion repair on cleft lips.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of cognitive impairment in hippocampus on glucose and lipid metabolism, and its relations with gastrointestinal motility. Methods The Aβ1-42 was injected into the hippocampus of rats. Levels of glucose and lipid were detected. The changes of gastrointestinal motility were detected by the type-B ultrasonic and the ink-pushing experiments. Hippocampal neurons apoptosis was detected by the TUNEL assay. Results In the experimental group, FPG, TG, TC, LDL were (7.92 ± 0.29) mmol/L, (2.24 ± 0.12) mmol/L, (4.67 ± 0.12) mmol/L, (2.41 ± 0.12) mmol/L, respectively, with significant differences among these three groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the sham group and the control group, the number of bowel movements per unit time (2.13 ± 0.83) times, gastric emptying rate (44.35 ± 7.53) % and the small intestinal propulsion rate (57.60 ± 7.82)%in the experimental group were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The experimental hippocampal neuronal apoptosis index was an average of (64.98 ± 3.70)%, which was significantly higher than that in the sham group and the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Hippocampal cognitive impairment can elevate the blood lipid level, which may be associated with the hippocampal neuronal apoptosis and the gastrointestinal motility disorders.
ABSTRACT
Objective To construct the prokaryotic expression vector containing XIAP and TAT gene.Methods XIAP gene was synthesized and the pTAT-HA plasmid was digested with NcoI and XhoI restriction enzyme,then rat XIAP gene was ligated by T4 DNA ligase with pTAT-HA plasmid to construct pTAT-XIAP expression plasmid encoding XIAP and TAT fusion protein.pTAT-XIAP vector was transformed into E.coli.DH5?.Transformants were cultured on LB medium and selected.The plasmids were extracted,purified and identified by agarose gel electrophoresis.Results A few of transformants with pTAT-XIAP on LB medium containing ampicillin were observed and a number of them on LB medium without ampicillin,none of untrasformed DH5? colonies were found on LB medium with ampicillin.The gel electrophoresis analysis showed that the molecular weight of recombinated pTAT-XIAP vector was 4500bp and the pTAT-HA vector was about 3000bp consistent with the atlas of the vector.Conclusion XIAP gene was cloned into pTAT-HA vector,pTAT-XIAP vector was successfully constructed.
