Objective To demonstrate the clinical outcome of bilateral gluteus maximus musculocutaneous flap in conjunction with continuous postoperative negative pressure wound therapy in reconstruction of sacral soft tissue defects.Methods From January, 2008 to April, 2013, 18 patients (8 males and 10 females, aged from 34 to 78 years old) with full-thickness sacral soft tissue defects were treated.The size of the defects after initial debridement ranged from 3.0 cm × 2.0 cm to 18.0 cm × 14.0 cm, with the exposure of sacrum or ligament.Bilateral gluteus maximus musculocutaneous flap were applied in all the patients.Two drainage tubes were placed on each side of the flaps during the surgery and suck for 10 to 12 consecutive days after the operation.Results The size of the harvested flaps ranged from 12.0 cm × 8.0 cm to 18.0 cm × 12.0 cm, and all the donor sites of the flaps were closed with primary suture.Thirty-five flaps in 17 patients survived without any complication.Partial necrosis of one flap was found in 1 patient and managed successfully with conservative dressing change.Fourteen patients were followed-up ranged from 8 months to 2.5 years (mean follow-up was 18 months).Color and texture of the flaps were satisfactory and no recurrence of sacral defect was noted.Conclusion Bilateral gluteus maximus musculocutaneous flap in conjunction with continuous postoperative negative pressure wound therapy may serve as a useful option for fullthickness sacral soft tissue defects.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of Astragalus injection combined with neoadjuvant chemother-apy and three dimensional conformal radiotherapy in the treatment of colorectal cancer. METHODS:A total of 80 patients with me-dium and advanced colorectal cancer were selected from oncology department of our hospital during Jun. 2010 to Jun. 2014,and di-vided into observation group and control group according to random number table,with 40 cases in each group. Control group re-ceived neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy. Observation group was additionally giv-en Astragalus injection 10-20 mL added into 5％ Glucose injection 250-500 mL,ivgtt,qd,on the basis of control group. A treat-ment course lasted for 21 d,and both groups received 3 courses. Short-term efficacies as well as immune indexes [CD3+,CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ and NK cells] before and after treatment were observed in 2 groups. The occurrence of ADR and survival situation were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:Clinical response rate of observation group was 87.5％,which was slightly higher than that of control group(77.5％),but there was no statistical significance(P>0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical signifi-cance in immune index levels between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,NK cells,CD3+,CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ levels of con-trol group were decreased significantly,which was significantly lower than observation group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). Two-year survival rate of observa-tion group was significantly higher than that of control group;the recurrence rate and distant metastasis rate were significantly low-er than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Astragalus injection not only can improve therapeu-tic efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer,balance inflammatory state,improve survival rate,re-duce recurrence rate and distant metastasis rate with good safety.

Objective To explore teaching effectsof biochemistry by comparingthe traditional teaching with the network investigative teaching. Methods 425 five-year-program students of clinical medicine of grade 2012 were chosen as subjects, with 246 students from Classes 5-8 as experimental group in which network investigative teaching was implemented andwith 179 students of Classes 17-20 as the control group which wasgiven traditional teaching. After the teaching , the teaching effects were evaluated through a questionnaire and the test scores of the two groups were compared and statistically analyzed. The two groups were compared by using t test. Results More than 70% of students in the experimental groups were generally satisfied with several aspects of the network investigative teaching and gavea good evaluation. The experimental group students' total scores and every item scores were all higher than the control group students', in which the practise scores and the case analysis problem scores had significant differences by statistical analysis with P values being 0.000 and 0.002, respec-tively. Conclusion Network investigative teaching is better than traditional teaching in the teaching of biochemistry , which can enhance students' ability of problem analysis and their enthusiasm for learning.

Objective:To evaluate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis and treatment of primary breast lymphoma (PBL). Methods:Clinical data and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging data of 6 patients (all females, age 46-79 years) with pathologically diagnosed primary breast diffuse large B cell lymphoma (PB-DLBCL) in Xishan People′s Hospital of Wuxi City and Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from July 2015 to October 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 10 18F-FDG PET/CT scans were done for primary staging (6 scans of 6 patients), evaluation of treatment response (3 scans of 2 patients), and recurrence detection (1 scan of 1 patient). 18F-FDG PET/CT image analysis was performed qualitatively (visually) and semi-quantitatively (SUV max). Treatment response was evaluated by Deauville scores. Results:All 6 patients were diagnosed pathologically as PB-DLBCL (3 patients by core needle biopsy, 3 patients by biopsy after lumpectomy). All 6 patients were staged using baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT before chemotherapy. For 3 patients diagnosed by core needle biopsy, baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT showed unilateral breast lesion with high FDG uptake (SUV max: 23.0, 52.9, and 33.6). For 3 postoperative patients, baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT showed flocculent soft tissue density in the operative area with low FDG uptake (SUV max: 3.4, 2.2 and 2.0). Patient No.2 showed a large left breast mass with left axillary lymph node involvement by baseline PET/CT, and multiple nodular uptakes in bilateral breast (Deauville score of 4) after 4 courses of chemotherapy and negative result (Deauville score of 1) after 3 courses of new chemotherapy regimens by PET/CT. Patient No.4 showed right breast lesion and right axillary lymph nodes by routine preoperative imaging examination, but left breast lesion by postoperative PET/CT. According to the results of 18F-FDG PET/CT, patient No.4 was with complete response (Deauville score of 1) after treatment, but recurrence (Deauville score of 5) occurred after 7 months follow-up. Conclusion:18F-FDG PET/CT can play an important role in every step of management (diagnosis and staging, treatment response evaluation and detection of recurrence) in patients with PB-DLBCL.

Objective To analyze the risk factors and pathogen distribution of nosocomial infection in adult patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after cardiac surgery.Methods The clinical data of 325 patients who underwent ECMO support in the Department of Adult Cardiac Surgery of Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2012 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 132 patients with nosocomial infection (infected group) and 193 patients without nosocomial infection (noninfected group).Multivariate logistic analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of nosocomial infection,and the distribution of pathogens in infected patients was also analyzed.Results Among 132 infected patients,67 cases (50.76％) had respiratory infection,40 cases (30.30％) had blood infection,15 cases (11.36％) had surgical wound infection,and 10 cases (7.58％) had urinary tract infection.The case fatality rates of the infected group and non-infected group were 61.37％ (81/132) and 52.85％ (102/ 193),respectively (x2 =6.356,P ＜ 0.05).Univariate analysis showed that long operation time,application of extracorporeal circulation and long-term ECMO support were associated with nosocomial infection.Multivariate logistic regression analysis found that ECMO time (OR =5.565,95％ CI =2.868-10.799,P ＜0.01) was an independent risk factor for nosocomial infection after ECMO treatment in adult patients after cardiac surgery.Among the 132 infected patients,364 strains of pathogens were detected,of which 233 were Gram-negative bacteria,including 79 strains of Acinetobacter Baumann (33.9％) and 32 strains of K.pneumoniae (13.73％);101 strains were Gram-positive bacteria,including Streptococcus aureus (14.85％),Micrococcus (14.85％) and catarrhal bacteria (14.85％);30 strains were fungi and Candida albicans accounted for 70％ of fungi infections.Conclusion The long ECMO support time is an independent risk factor for ECMO-related hospital infections in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery,and the pathogens are mainly Gram-negative bacteria.

Objective To investigate the effects of long noncoding RNA(lncRNA)-NRON on apoptosis following myocardial infarc-tion(MI)in mice.Methods The C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups:sham operation(Sham)group,MI group,MI combined with lncRNA-NRON interference lentivirus(MI+shNRON)group,and MI combined with the negative control(NC)lentivirus(MI+NC)group.The expression of lncRNA-NRON was detected using real-time PCR.In addition,the pathology of the myocardial tissue injury was analyzed using HE staining,the myocardial infarction size was examined using TTC staining,and the extent of apoptosis was assessed using the TUNEL assay,respectively.The RPISeq database was used to predict the probability of interaction between lncR-NA-NRON and the voltage-dependent anionic channel protein(VDAC).The effect of lncRNA-NRON on the expression of VDAC protein was detected using Western blotting.Results The lncRNA-NRON expression was significantly increased in the MI group,and the tar-geted knockdown of lncRNA-NRON resulted in alleviation of the pathological myocardial tissue injury,reduction in the myocardial infarc-tion area,and inhibition of apoptosis.The probability of interaction between lncRNA-NRON and VDAC reached 0.9,indicating a high probability of their association.Additionally,lncRNA-NRON could regulate the protein expression of VDAC.Conclusion Knockdown of lncRNA-NRON could reduce the occurrence of myocardial injury following myocardial infarction.This effect may be attributable to a spe-cific mechanism wherein lncRNA-NRON affects the process of apoptosis by binding to VDAC,consequently suppressing its expression.

The vast majority of the published papers dealing with the treatment of wounds in the past few decades reported that extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) used in wound repair is easy in manipulation, noninvasive, safe, effective, and well tolerated by patients. However, little is known about the mechanism of ESWT in wound healing to date. In this article, we reviewed the literature to identify the potential cellular and molecular mechanisms of ESWT in the process of wound healing, and the results of the literature showed that the mechanism of ESWT in promoting wound healing is the result of heterogeneous biological effects.
