[Protective effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on kidney cells of type 2 diabetic rats].

The major objective was to explore the effect of early hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on the tissue structure, apoptosis, and metalloproteinases of kidney cells in Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus. GK rats (n = 24) were divided randomly and evenly into model, metformin hydrochloride (MH), and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) groups, while healthy Wistar rats (n = 8) were used as normal control group. The healthy rats in the normal control group and the GK rats in the model group were both intragastrically administered with purified water (5 mL/kg) once per day.

The complete recanalization of PICC-related venous thrombosis in cancer patients: A series of case reports.

In this study, cancer patients with venous thrombosis associated with the use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) underwent complete recanalization by the administration of saponins (PNS), which vary from heparin or urokinase in that they do not have the same risks associated with thrombolysis, including bleeding. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study concerning the treatment of cancers with PNS to be reported in the literature. Three cancer patients aged 30-50 years old, two females and one male, were subjected to chemotherapy.

[Analysis of food allergens in patients with allergic rhinitis in Guangzhou].

Objective: To investigate the distribution of multiple food allergens in patients with allergic rhinitis in Guangzhou area.

Method: Skin prick tests were performed in 1529 patients with allergic rhinitis. The result was discussed by the age of patients, the types of allergens and the response intensity.

[A clinical study on obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome treating by nasal operation].

Objective: To study the treatment of OSAHS with nasal diseases by nasal operation.

Method: Ninety four cases of OSAHS with nasal diseases were analyzed. The patients were operated on nasal cavity to improve ventilation included Septectomy, CPS for inferior turbinate and FESS.

[The changes of micrangium density of the reverse-flow random flap with a superficial venous trunk: an experimental study using stereological methods].

Objective: To study the effects of the superficial venous trunk (SVT) and its nourishing vessels on early revascularization of the reverse-flow random flap in order to provide theoretical evidences for clinical applications.

Methods: The morphologic changes of micrangium of the reverse-flow random flap with SVT and without SVT were observed at different phases and compared by optical microscopy and stereological methods.

Results: The micrangium density of the flaps with SVT and without SVT showed a tendency of increasing at 3 days after the operation.

[Difference in lymphocyte heat shock protein 71 (HSP71) expression in soldiers of armed police forces from different climatic zones].

Objective: To analyze the difference between basal and heat-inducible levels of lymphocyte heat shock protein 71 (HSP71) expression in soldiers from Beijing, Zhengzhou and Guangzhou.

Methods: Flow cytometry and Comet assay were used to detect the level of HSP71 and DNA damage respectively.

Results: Comet assay showed that there was no significant DNA damage before and after heat stress at 41 degrees C for 1 h, and also no difference found among the 3 climatic zones(P > 0.
