ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on gene and protein expression of toll-like receptor, TLR2/4 of the rat alveolus macrophages so as to discuss the effect of MSCs transplantation on the early inflammatory mediators and the regulatory mechanism of the inflammatory cascade.MethodsThe alveolus macrophages were randomly divided into the PBS control group (n = 24), MSCs control group (n = 24), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) control group (n=24) and LPS + MSCs treatment group (n =24).All groups were taken time-points of 1, 3,6, 12 hours.Positive cell rate of MSCs with surface mark and the expression level of TLR2/4 protein on macrophage were detected by flow cytometry.The mRNA level of TLR2/4 expression on macrophage was detected by RT-PCR and the concentrations of TNF-o in cell culture supernatants by ELISA at the different time points.ResultsCompared with the PBS control group and MSCs control group, TLR2/4 mRNA and protein levels were significantly up-regulated, markedly increased at one hour and peaked at 12 hours (P <0.01) and the TNF-α concentrations in cell culture supernatants were significantly up-regulated and peaked at 6 hours in the LPS control group (P < 0.01).Compared with the LPS control group, mRNA and protein level of TLR2/4 and TNF-o concentrations in the cell culture supernatants of the LPS + MSCs group were markedly down-regulated (P < 0.01).ConclusionsWith LPS stimulation, TLR2/4 mRNA and protein expressions as well as TNF-αt concentration increase, when the peak of the TNF-αt concentration appears slightly earlier, indicating that there may be a positive feedback loop between TLR2/4 expression and TNF-ot.MSCs can significantly reduce TLR2/4 mRNA and protein expressions as well as TNF-α concentration after LPS stimulation, indicating that MSCs can break up the positive feedback loop.

BACKGROUNDMost of the researches about lung cancer have focused on the polymorphisms of single gene rather than the cooperation of the genes. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation of gene polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) Rsa I and cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) independently and in combination with the risk of lung cancer.
METHODSA case-control study which included 91 lung cancer cases and 91 hospital-based controls was carried out, and all of them were the Han nationality in Guangzhou district. Blood samples were collected for detecting CYP2E1 Rsa I and CYP1A1 gene polymorphisms by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP).
RESULTSNo significant difference was observed in genotype frequencies of CYP2E1 Rsa I and CYP1A1 Msp I between case and control groups. Odd ratio was 5.48 and 1.51 respectively without significant difference (P > 0.05). Individuals with CYP2E1 Rsa I C1C1 and CYP1A1 m2m2 genotype had 3.00-fold risk of developing lung cancer compared with those who had CYP2E1 Rsa I C1C2 and CYP1A1 m1m1 genotype (P < 0.05, 95% CI 1.03-8.78).
CONCLUSIONSSingle polymorphism of CYP2E1 and CYP1A1 doesn't increase the risk of developing lung cancer, but the combination of two genetic polymorphisms significantly increases the risk of developing lung cancer.

Objective:To analyze the clinical effect of hyaluronidase injection through the facial artery in the treatment of vascular embolism such as skin ulceration and necrosis after cosmetic injection.Methods:Hyaluronidase was injected through facial artery in 13 patients who were diagnosed with vascular embolism after facial injection from January 2019 to May 2020. The facial artery was punctured with 22-gauge arterial blood collection needle or 19/23-gauge disposable venous infusion needle. The angle between the needle body and the skin varies depending on the patients’ weight, ranged 30°-45°. The needle was advanced slowly and pushed forward by 2-3 mm when blood backflow appeared in the needle core. After confirming the successful puncture of the facial artery, 0.5-1.5 ml hyaluronidase was slowly injected into the facial artery. The time of skin relaxation, tenderness relief, ulcer healing and wound recovery were observed. The pigmentation was observed and the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) was used to score the scars after 3-12 months.Results:A toal of 13 patients with vascular complications of hyaluronidase filler were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were 18-45-year-old(mean age, 35 years) and received hyaluronidase filler at private clinics. There were 12 women and 1 man. The time from onset to visit was 14 h to 4 d, with an average time of 2.5 d. Hyaluronidase was most commonly injected into the nasolabial folds (54%, 7 of 13). The second-ranked area is the nasalroot (23%, 3 of 13). These patients had skin swelling, necrosis, ecchymosis or black scabs during or after hyaluronidase injection. Some patients showed skin lesions combined with oral ulcer. After percutaneous facial arterial hyaluronidase injection, the local skin tissue injuries of the 13 patients were improved in time. The time of skin relaxation was (0.77±0.25) d, the time of tenderness relief was (1.23±0.64) d, the time of ulcer healing was (3.14±0.64) d and the time of wound recovery was (5.85±0.86) d. Patients were followed up for 3-12 months, with an average of 7 months. One patient had slight scar (VSS score of 1), two patients had only mild pigmentation (VSS score of 0), and the other ten patients had no scar and pigmentation (VSS score of 0).Conclusions:It is effective to improve local microcirculation and reduce skin tissue injury after percutaneous facial artery hyaluronidase injection in the treatment of skin injury caused by facial filler injection.
