Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2014;37(20):41-43
Objective To explore the advantage of anterior cervical muscle group approach at sternal end transection in removal of bilateral huge thyroid neoplasm.Methods One hundred and seven patient underwent removal of bilateral huge thyroid neoplasm were selected.Fifty-two patients were given neck white line incision thyroid surgery (control group) and 55 patients were given anterior cervical muscle group approach at sternal end transection for thyroid surgery (observation group).The operative time,operation field exposure effect,amount of bleeding in operation,postoperative complications,and postoperative drainage volume were compared between two groups.Results The operative time [(88.53 ± 5.95) min],amount of bleeding [(18.58 ± 5.95) ml],and postoperative drainage volume [(47.58 ± 14.76) rnl] in observation group were less than those in control group [(113.98 ± 15.85) min,(39.27 ± 16.32) ml,(73.90 ± 14.40) ml] (P < 0.05),the postoperative complication rate was lower than that in control group (P < 0.05).Operation field exposure effect in observation group was better than that in control group (P < 0.05).Conclusions Removal of bilateral huge thyroid neoplasm with the sternal end approach is feasible and simple.The operation field exposure is better than the neck white line incision,complications after operation is less.It is worthy of clinical application.

3.Effect of ginsenoside rb1 on survival of dorsal random-pattern skin flap with large length-to-width ratio in rats
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2010;14(18):3339-3342
BACKGROUND: Ginsenoside Rb1 has been extensively used in the protection and treatment of heart, encephalon, lung, kidney and liver damage. However, its application in skin flap is rare.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of intraperitoneal injection of ginsenoside Rb1 on the survival of the dorsal random-pattern skin flap with large length-to-width ratio in rats.METHODS: Healthy adult SD rats were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. A caudally based dorsal random pattern skin flap, 80 mmx20 mm (length: width = 4:1), was symmetrically made. Ginsenoside Rb1 (2 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into the experimental group rats, and the same volume of normal saline was injected into the control group. Malonyl dialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) level of the flaps were tested 1 day after operation; the amount of viable tissues of the flaps were examined by planimetry 10 days after operation. Specimens from the proximal, middle and distal flaps were harvested for HE staining to examine the microstructure.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At the first day after operation, NO level was higher in the experimental group than the control group (P< 0.01), while MDA level was lower than the control group (P< 0.01). At the 10th day after operation, the survival rate of the flap was significantly greater in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.001). Histological observation showed that compared with the control group, the edema and inflammatory cells infiltration were less, while the fiber hyperplasia and the microvascular growth were more obvious in the experimental group. Results show that intraperitoneal injection of ginsenoside Rb1 can enhance the blood supply of the flaps and improve the survival of the random-pattern skin flaps with large length-to-width ratio in rats. This may involve its effects of improving NO activity, decreasing lipid peroxidation, and promoting angiogenesis of skin flaps.

Objective:To construct NBS1 microRNA expressing eukaryotic recombinants,and identify biological activity of recombinants in Hela cell after transfection.Methods:According to sequence of NBS1mRNA,the NBS1 pre-microRNA was designed and synthesized,then cloned into the GFP reporter pcDNA6.2-GW/EmGFP-miR vector and transfected into Hela cell line.To detect integrity of inset fragment through colony PCR and sequencing analysis.The biological activity of recombinants through identify interference efficiency of NBS1 microRNA recombinants by way of Real-Time PCR and Western blot were determined.Results:Sequences of inset fragment in four microRNA expressing recombinants were correct.NBS1 mRNA and protein expression of four microRNA recombinants were decrease,which is the lowest in the NBS1mi-2 group.Conclusion:Four NBS1-targeting microRNA expressing recombinants all have biological activity in Hela cell line,and NBS1mi-2 recombinant has the most interference efficiency.The microRNA expressing plasmid which were successfully constructed and lay foundation for the studies on the tumor gene therapy of microrna targeting NBS1.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of combined acupuncture and medicine in treating polycystic ovarian syndrome infertility.Methods Ninety patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome infertility were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 45 cases each. The control group received oral administration of clomifene citrate tablets plus muscular injection of chorionic gonadotropin and the treatment group, electroacupuncture in addition. The ovulation rates, pregnancy rates, incidences of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), ectopic pregnancy rates and early miscarriage rates were compared between the two groups of patients. Results The ovulation rate and the pregnancy rate were 97.8 % and 37.8%, respectively, in the treatment group and 75.6% and 17.8%, respectively, in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Of 17 pregnant patients in the treatment group, 2 had early miscarriage, accounting for 11.8% and none had ectopic pregnancy, accounting for 0.0%. Of 8 pregnant patients in the control group, 4 had early miscarriage, accounting for 50.0% and none had ectopic pregnancy, accounting for 0.0%. The incidence of OHSS was 4.4% in the treatment group and 6.7% in the control group; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusions Combined use of acupuncture and medicine can increase the ovulation rate and the pregnancy rate in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome infertility. It does not significantly cause ovarian hyperstimulation and ectopic pregnancy and may decrease the early miscarriage rate.
