The disequilibrium of histone acetylation and deacetylation may cause tumor.Histone deacetylases (HDACs) maintain the equilibrium between histone acetylation and deacetylation by catalyzing the deacetylation of histone.They are related to many regulation processes containing transcription of oncogene,cell proliferation and differentiation,apoptosis and so on.HDACs inhibitors have become the hot field of researches,more than ten different HDACs inhibitors are testing for the treatment of both hematological and solid malignancies and show obvious anti-tumor activity.

[Objective]To investigate the pathogenesis,pathology,diagnosis and therapy of hyponatremia after acute spinal cord injury.[Method]Fifteen in-patients with hyponatremia after acute spinal cord injury from 2004 to 2006 were retrospectively analyzed.[Result]Serum sodium was lower than 130 mmol/L in all cases.Urine sodiumcanned was from 40 to 68 mmol/L and urine osmotic pressure was from 420 to 980 mmol/L.After limitation of water intake and appropriate salt intake,12 patients recovered at 2 to 3 weeks.Because of fever and avoiding limitation of water intake,the other 3 patients recovered slowly.[Conclusion]The more serious the acute spinal cord injury,the higher the frequency of hyponatremia;syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion(SIADH) is its primary cause: appropriate measures should be taken to correct the hyponatremia according to the findings of serum sodium and urine osmotic pressure.

ObjectiveTo study the significance of the non-invasive hemodynamic monitor system in the differential diagnosis of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) combined with pulmonary edema. Methods Twenty-nine cases of SAP during fluid resuscitation treatment combined with pulmonary edema were reviewed and the data of the non-invasive hemodynamic monitor system was analysed and summarized.According to the diagnosis on discharge, 18 patients were enrolled in test group (noncardiogenic pulmonary edema group) and 11 patients were enrolled in control group(cardiogenic pulmonary edema group). The data of two groups were determined and compared. ResultsIn control group, cardiac output[(3.34±1.09) L/min], cardiac index [(2.06 ± 0.46) L/ (min·m2)], stroke volume [(41.89 ± 13.72) ml], stroke index[(25.59 ± 7.32) ml/m2], accelerate cardiac index [(59.24 ± 28.41) L/100 s2], left cardiac work index [(2.09 ± 0.67) (kg·m)/m2], left ventricular ejection time[(254.32 ± 27.34) ms], ejection fraction (0.37 ±0.03) and velocity index [(27.11 ± 11.32) L/100 s] were all significantly lower than those in test group [(4.12 ± 1.06) L/min, (2.64 ± 0.48) L/ (min·m2), (46.21 ± 11.81) ml, (28.87 ± 5.32) ml/m2, (79.43 ±29.01) L/100 s2, (3.21 ± 0.84)(kg·m)/m2, (281.29 ± 29.11) ms,0.54 ±0.04, (39.34 ± 12.11) L/100 s,respectively] (P < 0.01); pre-ejectionphase [(116.54 ± 22.37) ms] and systolic time ratio (0.48 ± 0.04) were significantly higher than those in test group[(95.24 ± 21.41) ms,0.36 ± 0.02,respectively] (P < 0.01 or <0.05). ConclusionNon-invasive hemodynamic monitor system is helpful in the early differential diagnosis of SAP combined with pulmonary edema.

Objectives To explore the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of Crohn’s disease complicated by erythromelalgia (EM) in a pediatric case. Methods The clinical manifestation, results of laboratory testing and endoscopy, mutational analysis of the SCN9A gene, and the follow-up record were collected and analyzed based on review of literature to a thirteen-year-old girl with Crohn’s disease complicated by erythromelalgia. Results The patient experienced symptoms of anorexia, fatigue, diarrhea, dark red and swelling skin, increased skin temperature and burning pain in her both lower extremities during the course of disease. The endoscopic ifndings included multiple ulcerations and polypoid protrusion lesion in colon, and the pathological examination showed the local abscess formation in colonic mucosa. The mutation in SCN9A gene of the child was excluded by gene analysis. The symptoms were gradually ameliorated after treatment using prednisone and mesalazine combined with dipyridamole and low-molecular-weight heparin calcium. Conclusions Crohn’s disease complicated by erythromelalgia is rare. The pathogenesis may relate to immune factors, thrombocytosis, and hyper-coagulable states, etc. The combination of glucocorticoids, 5-aminosalicylic acid and anticoagulants may lead to a better therapeutic effect.

Objective:To discuss the feasibility and clinical efficacy of laparoscopic ureteroplasty with buccal mucosa graft for ureteral stricture.Methods:The clinical data of 10 patients with ureteral stricture admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from July 2018 to November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 7 males, 3 females, 5 cases on each side, with an average age of (47.9±7.8)years. All patients had a history of operation related to ureteral calculi. The median value of preoperative serum creatinine was 71(68~610)μmol/L. The status of hydronephrosis and ureteral stricture was evaluated by ultrasonography, CTU and ureteral retrograde angiography.The separation of the renal pelvis on the affected side was (3.1±0.7)cm.There were 7 cases of upper segment stenosis, 2 cases of middle segment stenosis, and 1 case of multiple stenosis. The length of ureteral stenosis was (3.2±0.7)cm. Laparoscopic buccal mucosa ureteroplasty was performed in all 10 cases under general anesthesia. After the stricture ureter segment was separated during the operation, the ureteral stenosis segment was longitudinally cut. According to the stenosis, the buccal mucosa with a length of 3.0-4.5 cm and a width of 1.0-1.5 cm was cut. Buccal mucosa grafts were harvested and placed in the ureter as an anterior onlay with omental wrapping.Results:Ureteral repair was performed laparoscopically in all cases, with no conversion to open and no serious complications. The operative time was (199.2±27.4)min, the blood loss was (101.5±54.7)ml, the median postoperative indwelling time of the drainage tube was 4.5(3.0-7.0)d, and the postoperative hospital stay was (7.9±1.9)days. The patients had clear pronunciation and barrier-free eating one week after the operation.The double J tube was removed one to two months after surgery. The patients were followed up for (11.3±4.2)months after the operation. Follow-up patients underwent imaging and other examinations, which showed significant improvement in hydronephrosis on the affected side, and the median value of renal pelvis separation on the affected side was 1.8(0-2.2)cm. The median value of serum creatinine was 82(66~235)μmol/L. The serum creatinine in 2 patients with renal insufficiency decreased significantly after operation.Conclusions:Laparoscopic buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty could be a safe and feasible option for the treatment of ureteral stricture with less trauma and rapid recovery. The results of the initial experience are encouraging.

Objective To explore the diagnosis, treatment strategies and clinical outcomes of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage in elderly patients. Methods A total of 68 patients aged over 60 years presenting with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage underwent cerebral angiography. And 72 intracranial aneurysms were detected in 60 patients, among whom 47 patients with 59 aneurysms underwent endovascular coil embolization, 6 aneurysms in 6 patients were clipped in microneurosurgery operation, and 7 patients chose conservative treatment. Results A total of 57 aneurysms (96.6%) were embolized successfully, among which 40 aneurysms (70.2%) reached dense occlusion and 17 aneurysms (29.8%) reached incomplete occlusion. Among 47 patients undergoing endovascular treatment, 39 patients (83.0%) were evaluated as good, 7 patients (14.9%) were moderately to seriously disabled according to Glasgow Outcome Scale when they were discharged, and one patient died. Conclusions Active treatment such as endovascular coil embolization can acquire good outcome in elderly patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage, especially in elderly patients detected with aneurysms.

Objective To evaluate the heterozygous ambiguity resolution primers (HARPs) method in resolving ambiguous genotyping results of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes in Chinese Hart population, and choose some appropriate HARPs primers. Methods HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DRB1 genes of 416 southern Chinese Han individuals were genotyped by sequence-based-typing(SBT) method and then the ambiguous genotyping samples were sequenced again by HARPs primers provided by American Atria company. Results The percentage of ambiguous genotyping samples resolved by HARPs for HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DRBI locus was 86.3% (132/153), 73.9% (130/176) and 38.1% (85/223) respectively. Among them, 48.5% (64/132)HLA-A, 80.0% (104/130)HLA-B and all HLA-DRB1(85/85)samples only need one primer, 47.7 % (63/132)HLA-A and 20.0% (26/130)HLA-B samples need two primers. Three to six different HARPs primers can resolve more than 90% ambiguities. Conclusion HARPs is a convenient method and could be a routine method to resolve ambiguities for HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DRB1 genes genotyped by SBT in Chinese Han population.

Objective To determine in vitro drug susceptibility to five antifungal agents of clinical Cryptococcus neoformans strains isolated from different areas of China in recent ten years. Methods Eighty clinical isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans were isolated from Shanghai, Guangdong, Fujian, Beijing and some other areas of China from 1998 to 2007. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the isolates to five antifungal agents, including amphotericin B, fluconazole, flucytosine, itraconazole and voriconazole, were determined using broth microdilution procedure (document M27-A2) recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test was employed for the statistical analysis. Results The MIC50 of the Cryptococcus neoforrnans isolates tested for amphotericin B, fluconazole, flucytosine, itraconazole and voriconazole were 0.5, 4, 2, 0.25 and ≤0.031 3 mg/L, respectively; and the MIC<,90> of the isolates tested for the above antifungal agents were 1, 8, 4, 0.5 and 0.062 5 mg/L, respectively. Among the tested isolates, 3 (3.8 %) were resistant to flucytosine, 4 (5.0 %) were resistant to itraconazole. All isolates were susceptible to amphotericin B and voriconazole. There was no significant difference in MIC of the strains isolated from any particular years to the five agents (χ2=0.500,2.687,2.211, 2.660,0.677,P>0.05). Conclusions The Cryptococcusneoformans isolates are highly susceptible to the five antifungal agents, while a few strains are resistant to flucytosine or itraconazole. The drug susceptibilities of the strains isolated from particular years are similar.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of restenosis after carotid stent and balloon angioplasty for the Guangxi swines by intravascular ultrasound(IVUS). Methods Twelve Guangxi swines fed by a high cholesterol diet were randomly divided into two groups. Seven stents were implanted in the left carotid artery of six swines in the first group, and balloon angioplasty was performed in the left carotid artery of swines in the other group. Digital subtraction angiography(DSA) and IVUS were conducted respectively before and after the intervention and in the 13th week. Results IVUS found that the percentage of area stenosis in stent group was (18.31±7.79) % and in balloon group (37.28±7.89) % in the 13th week. The percentage of area restenosis in stent was obviously related to neointimal hyperplasia (r = 0.897, P<0.05), the percentage of area restenosis due to balloon angioplasty was markedly related to area decrease of external elastic lamina (r = 0.856, P<0.05). Conclusions The restenosis in stent was related to intimal hyperplasia of blood vessel,and restenosis after balloon angioplasty had some connection with area decrease of external elastic lamina.
