ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning management on the expression of MMP-2,MMP-9 and Cx43 in a rat abdominal skin flap model of ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Eighteen male adult SD rats,weight ranged from 220-250 g,were randomly divided into three groups:sham group (SH),ischemia-reperfusion group (IR) and hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning group (HBO).All the rats in HBO group received hyperbaric oxygen treatment twice each day,apart 12 hours,during the last three days before operation.Abdominal skin flap with superficial epigastric artery as pedicle was established.In HBO and IR group,3 hours of ischemia was performed.On the 3rd postoperative day,samples were taken to assess the expression of MMP-9,MMP-2 and Cx43 by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot.Results Compared with IR group,the expression of Cx43 was significantly increased (IR 15.03±3.66;HBO 36.01±4.12) and the ex pression of MMP-9 and MMP-2 was decreased (MMP 2:IR 12.01±1.23;HBO 5.98±1.48;MMP9:IR 16.77±2.01;HBO 11.48±1.77).Conclusions Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning for the rat abdominal skin flap model of ischemia-reperfusion injury has inhibitory effect on the expression of MMP-9 and MMP-2,and stimulative effect on the expression of Cx43.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the molluscicidal effect of suspension concentrate of niclosamide ethanolamine salt(SC-NE)against Oncomelania hupensis snails in laboratory and field. Methods The experiment of SCNE against the snails by using the immersing and spraying methods was performed in laboratory and field,with control groups of wettable powder of ni-closamide ethanolamine salt(WPN). Results In the laboratory,LC50(s) of SCNE for 24,48 h and 72 h by using the immersion method were 0.0926,0.0629 mg/L and 0.0549 mg/L,respectively. The mortality rates of snails for 24,48 h and 72 h by using the immersion method were all 100％ with the concentrations of 0.25 mg/L. The mortality rates of snails were all 100％ while spraying SCNE for 3 d in the laboratory with the concentrations of 0.25 g/m2. In Jiangling County,except 0.5 g/m3 SCNE immers-ing the snails for 24 h,the mortality rates of snails by using SCNE with the immersing method were all 100％. While the concen-tration of SCNE was 0.5 g/m3 or above,the mortality rates were all 100％after the use of it with the immersion method for 2 d in Gong'an County. In Jiangling County,the mortality rates of snails by using SCNE 0.5 g/m3 for 1 d,3 d,and 7 d with the spray-ing method were 87.5％,92.82％and 97.40％respectively. While the concentration of SCNE was 0.5 g/m3,the mortality rates were 85.94％,86.78％and 94.21％respectively after the use of it with the spraying method for 1 d,3 d,7 d in Gong'an Coun-ty,and the molluscicidal effect of SCNE(1.0 g/m2)was higher than that of WPN. Conclusion SCNE has a high molluscicidal effect in the laboratory and field,and it is a novel and simple formulation of niclosamide.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the antibody titer value of indirect haemagglutination test(IHA)in 135 confirmed acute schistosomiasis patients,so as to provide the evidence for improving the diagnosis and treatment of acute schistosomiasis. Meth-ods A total of 135 acute schistosomiasis inpatients were selected from 2001 to 2006. They all received the IHA antibody titer de-tection,and the correlation among the age,incubation period,and hospitalization days was calculated. Results The antibody titers of IHA were higher than 1:320 in all the cases. The percentages of 1:640,1:1280,1:2560,1:5120 and 1:10240 were 1.48%,28.15%,35.56%,20.00%,and 14.81%respectively. The mean age was(47.70 ± 14.58)years,average incuba-tion period was(38.03 ± 4.59)days and mean hospital stay time was(15.08 ± 3.79)days. The antibody titer value had no corre-lation with the age distribution(r=0.109,P>0.05). There was a negatively correlation between the antibody titer value and in-cubation period,(r=-0.558,P<0.01),there was a positive correlation between the antibody titer value and hospitalization time(r=0.791,P<0.01),and there were significant differences among different groups(F=17.07,64.53,both P<0.01). Conclusions The antibody titer of acute schistosomiasis cases detected by IHA is 1:640 and above. There is no correlation be-tween the antibody titer value and age,but the antibody titer value is higher,the incubation period is shorter and hospitalization time is longer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore an effective surgical treatment to the keloid of mons pubis.Methods From March 2008 to January 2015,local flap and adjacent flap (including ilioinguinal flap and rectus abdominal musculocutaneous flap) were performed,and used to repair the defect after surgical removal of the keloid in 25 patients,and all the patients were received postoperative local radiotherapy,and then chi square test was applied to evaluate the effect in the six aspects,including perineal form,skin color,pubic hair distribution,satisfactory effect,skin texture and sense.Results The local flap group was better than the adjacent flap group in perineal form,skin color,pubic hair distribution,satisfactory effect,but there was no significant difference in skin texture and sense.Conclusions For the keloid of mons pubis,the first choice is local flap graft,which can maintain the normal mons pubis formation as most as possible,while the wound is so large that the local flap cannot work,and therefore the vascular pedicle axial flap should be used.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the dynamic schistosomiasis situation in Hubei Province so as to provide the evidence for formulating the effective control strategy. Methods According to the Scheme of Schistosomiasis Surveillance in Hubei Province the 2009 edition 207 endemic villages were selected and investigated for the schistosome infections of residents and livestock and the distribution of Oncomelania hupensis snails. Results The average infection rates of residents and cattle were 0.35% and 0.15% respectively and the endemic situation of fishermen and farmers were relatively serious 0.44% and 0.42% respectively . The density of living snails was 0.30 snail/0.1m2 but no infected snails were found. Conclusion The en-demic situation of schistosomiasis in Hubei Province was stable in 2013 but the efforts for the infectious source control still should be strengthened.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of schistosomiasis control in Gongan County,Hubei Province by longitudinal ob-servations so as to provide the evidence for formulating the schistosomiasis control strategy in lake and marshland regions. Meth-ods The schistosomiasis epidemic data in Gongan County from 2000-2013 were collected by the retrospective research method, and analyzed about the changing tendency of human and cattle infection rates,and Oncomelania hupensis snail situation. Re-sults The tendency of schistosomiasis epidemic situation was descended from 2000 to 2013. The human infection rate declined from 12.62%in 2000 to 0.69%in 2013. The decline scope of human infection rate was 24.1%in the first stage,64.4%in the sec-ond stage,and 73.0%in the third stage. Eight acute schistosomiasis cases were reported in the first stage,15 cases in the second stage,and none in the third stage. The cattle infection rate declined from 6.50%in 2000 to 0.30%in 2013. The rise scope of cattle infection rate was 74.2%in the first stage,but the decline scope was 75.0%in the second stage and 87.6%in the third stage. All the cattle were disposal at the end of 2013. The infection rate of snails,area with infected snails,and average density of living snails in the first stage increased by 18.1%,46.0%and 7.6%,respectively. The 3 indexes above-mentioned in the second stage de-creased by 76.8%,97.8%and 37.9%,respectively. In the third stage,the infection rate of snails and area with infected snails de-creased by both 100%,but the average density of living snails increased by 2.7%. The infected snails were found from 2000 to 2011,but none in 2012 and 2013. The infection rate of snails and area with infected snails dropped yearly,the infection rate of snails declined from 0.0007% in 2000 to 0.0002% in 2011,and the area with infected snails declined from 267.8 hm2 in 2000 to 6.37 hm2 in 2011. Conclusions After the implementation of the integrated schistosomiasis prevention and control strategy with the emphasis on infectious source control,the human and cattle schistosome infection rates decline significantly. Hereafter,it is necessary to prevent the schistosomiasis epidemic outbreak or rebound.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the protective effect of hydrogen-rich saline (HRS) on apoptosis in skin flap after ischemia/reperfusion injury.Methods Total 18 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups:a HRS treated group and two physiological saline treated groups (controls 1,2).The rats were anesthetized and an extended abdominal skin flap (6 cm × 9 cm) was elevated in each animal.Ischemia was induced by clamping the left right pedicle for 3 h,then HRS was administered intraperitoneally 10 min before reperfusion,and physiological saline was injected in control groups 1 and 2.In the control group 2,the flaps were elevated without occluding the artery and vein.Five days postoperation,apoptosis,TNF-α level in flap were measured with ELISA,NF-κB in nucleus was determined by Westernblot.Results Apoptotic rate represented (39.72±8.09) ％in HRS group and (69.43±13.27) ％ in control group 1,respectively.Treatment with HRS resulted in a marked reduction in apoptotic rate.TNF-α level was (516.408±38.674) pg/ml in the control group 1,a significant reduced TNF-α was measured in HRS group,accounting for (269.136 ±24.530) pg/ml.Moreover,NF-κB activation was significantly down-regulated by HRS.In control group 2,no significant apoptosis was observed because of non-blood occlusion,and there was no marked elevation of TNF-α and NF-κB.Conclusions HRS can protect skin from ischemia/reperfusion injury,attenuate apoptosis in flaps,which may be associated with the inhibition of TNF-α and NF-kb elevation.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of mental toughness level on positive and negative emotion and mental health in children with epilepsy.MethodsIn accordance with the International League against epilepsy and epilepsy syndrome in 1989 International Classification of young children with epilepsy,160 cases were sampled.Based on the Adolescent Resilience Scale ( HKRA ) score,according to the 27％ principles of delimitation,the patients were divided into high HKRA score group and low HKRA score group,43 cases in each group.Then positive emotions and negative affect scale (PANAS),mental health test (MHT) were applied to two groups.Results,Except family support dimension,the others HKRA dimension and total score were higher in female children with epilepsy than those in male patients,there was significant difference (P＜ 0.01 ).The positive affect score were higher in high HKRA score group than that of low HKRA group ; and negative emotion was significantly lower than that in low HKRA group (P＜ 0.01 ).Except physical symptom dimension,other dimensions and total score of HKRA in high HKRA score group were higher than those in low HKRA group,there was significant difference (P＜ 0.01 ).Children with epilepsy HKRA score was positive correlation with positive emotion score but negative correlation with negative affect scores (P ＜ 0.01 ) ; in addition to physical symptom,HKRA score and MHT score,and all the other dimensions were negatively related (P＜0.01 or 0.015).ConclusionThe mental toughness level are significantly related to children's epilepsy patients with positive and negative emotion and mental health status.A high level of mental toughness can increase positive emotional experience,and reduce the negative emotional experience of children with epilepsy.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of preconditioning hyperbaric oxygenation on skin flap is-ehaemia tolerance. Methods 18 male SD rats were divided into the control and HBO preconditioning groups. In control group, an extended epigastrie adipocutaneous flap was raised, based on the right su-perficial epigastric artery and vein. 3-hours flap ischemia was induced by clamping the pedicle vessels with microvascular clamp. At the end of ischemia induction, the clamp was removed and the flap was sutured back. Rats in HBO preconditioning group were treated with HBO two days before operation. Flap surger-y began 1 hour after the last HBO treatment. The operation was the same as the control group. On the fifth postoperative day, the condition of the flap was recorded with transparent paper. Mean flap necrosis area was calculated with Acrobat software. Data were analyzed with SPSS software. Results The aver-age designed flap area was (51.59±6.62)cm2 and (52.71±2.05)cm2 in the control group and the HBO preconditioning group. The average flap survival area was (7.38±2.49)cm2 and (15.82±5.95)cm2. The difference was significant between the control and HBO preconditioning groups (t= 4. 14, P<0.01) in average flap survival area. Conclusion HBO preconditioning can rise flap ischaemia tolerance and enhance flap survival.
