AIM: To explore a simple, reliable method for tissue processing and section staining by extracting DNA from the manually microdissectioned specimen, and to identify whether the extracted DNA is useful in the following study at molecule level. METHODS: The experiment was performed at the pathological laboratory of Guangdong Medical College from July 2004 to July 2007. The paraffin imbedding tissue sections of cervical cancer were thoroughly deparaffinized after mounted on slides for a long period of time. The nucleus was slightly stained with hematoxylin and microdissectioned under inverted microscope. The microdissectioned samples were put into EP tubes filled with digestion buffer to split the cells and then the DNA was extracted. During the whole course, PE tubes did not change, and the complicated phenol/chloroform extraction did not perform. The DNA extraction was rapid and simple. RESULTS: The DNA was measured by the spectrophotometer with concentrations from 0.14 to 5.25 g/L and absorbance values of A260/A280 were 1.6-1.8. All samples were amplified with PCR to produce expected length specific target fragment (231 bp). CONCLUSION: Rapid DNA extraction after manual tissue microdissection can produce adequate amount of DNA and maintain good quality of DNA template for PCR. The DNA meets the need of the following molecular experiments.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of inflammatory factors in bacterial infection children with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in PICU.Methods:A prospective cohort study was carried out from June 2014 to December 2017. 77 bacterial infection children with pediatric critical illness score less than 80 who were admitted to the PICU, were recruit in the study.The patient diagnosed as other basic diseases,with history of high-dose glucocorticoid use, discharged or died within 24 hours were excluded.The recruited patients were divided into G6PD deficiency group (observation group with 36 cases) and non-G6PD deficiency group (control group with 41 cases) according to the presence or absence of G6PD deficiency.Blood samples were taken at admission, 12 hand 24 h after hospitalization to detect the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 10 (IL-10) andC-reactive protein (CRP). T test, χ2 test and Fisher exact test were used to analyze the changes of the above inflammatory factors, complications, prognosis, PICU stay time and hospitalization costs. Results:The levels of inflammatory factors in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group at admission, 12 and 24 hours after hospitalization, the differences were statistically significant (all P< 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in thechangerate of inflammatory factors between the two groups during treatment; The PICU stay time of observation group was longer [(7.98 ± 6.55) vs (5.01 ± 6.21)] and the hospitalization cost (yuan) was higher [(36 634.09 ± 11 876.67) vs (31 571.42 ± 10 245.80)], P<0.05; Compared to the control group, the incidence ofsevere sepsis, septic shock, MODS increased significantly, and the curative rate decreasedsignificantly in observation group( P<0.05). Conclusions:G6PD-deficient children with bacterial infections had serious inflammatory reactions with poor prognosis and higher hospitalization costs and were susceptible to the occurrence of severe sepsis, septic shock and MODS.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of high-intensity interval training and moderate continuous aerobic training on patients classified as low risk for exercise rehabilitation after a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:A total of 43 patients considered low-risk after a PCI were randomly divided into a high-intensity interval training group (HIIT group, 22 cases) and a moderate continuous aerobic training group (MCT group, 21 cases). The HIIT group received high-intensity, but aerobic interval training involving 8 rounds of 3 minutes of high-intensity exercise with 2-minute intervals at 80% of peak power over 40 minutes, 3 times a week. The MCT group trained continuously at 60% of peak power for the same duration. After 12 weeks both groups were given an ultrasound examination and a cardiopulmonary exercise test to assess their cardiac functioning and exercise endurance. The subjects′ life quality was evaluated and compared using some items from the SF-36 scale.Results:Before the training, no significant differences were observed in the average left ventricular ejection fraction, stroke volume, peak power, peak oxygen uptake, anaerobic threshold, physiological functioning, physical pain, general health or social functioning between the two groups. After the training significant improvement in all these indicators was observed in both groups, but compared with MCT group, the average left ventricular ejection fraction, stroke volume, peak power and peak oxygen uptake of the HIIT group were significantly better.Conclusions:High-intensity, aerobic interval training is superior to moderate but continuous aerobic training for improving the cardiac functioning and exercise endurance of patients suitable for exercise rehabilitation after a PCI. But there is no significant difference in their effect on the short-term quality of life.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the effectiveness of arthroscopic binding fixation using suture through single bone tunnel for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tibial insertion fractures in adults.
METHODS:
Between October 2019 and October 2021, 16 patients with PCL tibial insertion fractures were treated with arthroscopic binding fixation using suture through single bone tunnel. There were 11 males and 5 females with an average age of 41.1 years (range, 26-58 years). The fractures were caused by traffic accident in 12 cases and sports in 4 cases. The time from injury to operation ranged from 2 to 10 days with an average of 6.0 days. The fractures were classified as Meyers-McKeever type Ⅱ in 4 cases and type Ⅲ in 9 cases, and Zaricznyi type Ⅳ in 3 cases. There were 2 cases of grade Ⅰ, 7 cases of grade Ⅱ, and 7 cases of grade Ⅲ in the posterior drawer test. There were 3 cases combined with lateral collateral ligament injury and 2 cases with meniscus injury. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, and knee range of motion were used to evaluate knee joint function. The posterior drawer test and knee stability tester (Kneelax 3) were used to evaluate knee joint stability. The X-ray films were used to evaluate fracture reduction and healing.
RESULTS:
All incisions healed by first intention after operation. There was no incision infection, popliteal neurovascular injury, or deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs. All patients were followed up 6-12 months, with an average of 10 months. X-ray films at 6 months after operation showed the fractures obtained bone union. There were 11 cases of grade 0, 4 cases of gradeⅠ, and 1 case of grade Ⅱin posterior drawer test, showing significant difference when compared with preoperative results ( Z=23.167, P<0.001). The VAS score, Lysholm score, IKDC score, knee range of motion, and the results of Kneelax3 examination all significantly improved when compared with preoperative results ( P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
For adult patients with PCL tibial insertion fractures, the arthroscopic binding fixation using suture through single bone tunnel has the advantages of minimal trauma, good fracture reduction, reliable fixation, and fewer complications. The patient's knee joint function recovers well.
