Our earlier research has shown that mono-substituted N-phenyl-2, 2-dichloroacetamide exhibited much higher anti-cancer activity than the lead compound sodium dichloroacetate (DCA). In this paper, a variety of multi-substituted N-phenyl-2, 2-dichloroacetamides were synthesized and biologically evaluated. The results showed that 3, 5-disubstituted N-phenyl-2, 2-dichloroacetamide analogues had satisfactory potency. Among them, N-(3, 5-diiodophenyl)-2, 2-dichloroacetamide had an IC50 of 2.84 micromol x L(-1) against non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549 and could induce cancer cell apoptosis.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness and safety of focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) for abdominal wall endometriosis.Methods:From November 2019 to October 2022, a total of 34 patients with abdominal wall endometriosis who underwent FUAS were collected, and their clinical features, imaging features, intraoperative treatment and side effects after treatment were analyzed retrospectively, and the improvement of symptoms and re-intervention were followed up.Results:(1) Characteristics of clinical data: the average age of 34 patients with abdominal wall endometriosis was (32.8±3.8) years old. The largest diameter of the lesion was 48 mm, and the median lesion diameter was 24 mm. Thirty cases (88%, 30/34) had moderate to severe periodic pain in abdominal incision before FUAS. All patients were diagnosed by preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, including 19 cases (56%, 19/34) of superficial type, 8 cases (24%, 8/34) of intermediate type and 7 cases (21%, 7/34) of deep type. (2) FUAS treatment parameters: ablation was completed with average operation time of (64±18) minutes, average sonication time was (385±108) s, (103±11) W of average power, (38 819±16 309) J of average total energy, the average treatment area volume of (3.11±1.42) cm 3, and (377.79±106.34) s/h of average treatment intensity. (3) Efficiency: the pain of patients after FUAS was significantly relieved, and the pain scores of patients after 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after FUAS were significantly decreased ( Z=-4.66, -5.13, -5.11 and -4.91, all P<0.01). One year after FUAS, the near relief and effective pain relief rate was 74% (25/34), and the clinical effective rate was 85% (29/34). Five patients recurred after one year, including 3 patients who underwent abdominal wall endometriosis lesion resection and 2 patients who received drug treatment. One month after FUAS, the size of the lesion did not change significantly compared with that before FUAS ( P>0.05), and the size of the lesion decreased significantly after FUAS at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year ( Z=-2.15, -2.67 and -3.41, all P<0.05). It has no difference in pain relief among different types ( P>0.05), but has significant difference in focus reduction among three types ( P<0.01). (4) Safety: there were 34 cases (100%, 34/34) of skin burning sensation, 19 cases (56%, 19/34) of pain in the treatment area and 2 cases (6%, 2/34) of hematuria. All patients got better after corresponding treatments. Conclusion:FUAS is safe and effective for the treatment of abdominal wall endometriosis, which has clinical application value.

Objective To establish a model of combined injury of thermal radiation and blast wave of gas explosion in closed pipeline,and investigate the characteristics of important organ injury induced by burn-blast combined injury in rats.Methods A total of 72 male SD rats(aged 8~10 weeks,weighing 200~10 g)were randomly divided into control group and mild and severe injured groups.After the model rats were inflicted with blast wave and thermal radiation,their physical parameters were detected and measured.The respiratory function of the survival rats was tested.In 24 h later,arterial blood gas analysis,blood biochemical tests,and detection for serum inflammatory factors and lung injury related protein levels were performed,and the pathological changes in the lung tissue and trachea were observed.Results The peak range of explosive blast wave overpressure was 209~493 kPa,and the temperature was 152~258 ℃.The mortality rate was 8.3%in the mild group and 53.1%in the severe group.Compared with the control group,longer inspiratory time(Ti)and relaxation time(Tr)and larger tidal volume(TV)(P<0.05),while lower respiratory frequency(f)were observed in the 2 injured groups within 6 h after injury(P<0.05).At 24 h after injury,the values of partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2),residual base value(BE)and bicarbonate(HCO3-)were increased significantly(P<0.05),while partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2)was decreased(P<0.05).The serum levels of alanine transaminase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alkaline phosphatase(ALP),total bilirubin(TBI)and total bile acid(TBA)were notably elevated(P<0.05).So were the levels of IL-1 β,TNF-α and IL-6(P<0.01).Various severities of hyperemia foci and inflammation in the tracheal mucosa were observed in the injured rats.The incidence of lung injury was high,and the pathological manifestations were dot-shaped hemorrhage to diffuse hemorrhage of the whole lobe,rupture of alveolar septum,thickening of septum,and infiltration of red blood cells and inflammatory cells.The levels of serum lung injury-related proteins were significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion A rat model which can highly simulate mild to severe burn-blast combined injury is constructed,which can meet the needs for rat model in study of explosive burn-blast compound injury.The main characteristics of the injury are lung injury,respiratory dysfunction,liver damage and secondary infection.
