Objective To study the mierovessel density (MVD) marked by CD105 and expression of survivin gene in pathologic scar, and to investigate the function of oncogenes in tumorigenic process and abnormal scarring. Methods In situ hybridization and immunohistoehemical methods (SP technique) were used to detect survivin mRNA, CD105-MVD in 40 pathologic scar cases, 20 normotrophic scar cases, and 20 normal skin cases, respectively. The relationship between the expression of survivin mRNA and CD105-MVD in 40 pathologic scar cases were analyzed. Results Compared with normotrophic scar and normal skin cases, the expression of survivin mRNA, CD105-MVD were significant difference in pathologic scar cases (P<0.05). In pathologic scar tissue, the expression of survivin had significant correlation with MVD marked by CD105 (P<0.05). Conclusion survivin is up-regulated in pathologic scar, which may contribute to the vascular formation.

Objective:To explore the effect of facial filling with autologous fat particles on the facial contour remodeling of patients with facial rejuvenation needs and its influence on the facial skin indicators of patients.Methods:From February 2019 to February 2020, 225 female patients, aged 25-52 years, with an average age of (42.5±5.2) years, received facial rejuvenation treatment in Zhengzhou Mylai Medical Beauty Hospital. They were divided into observation group (PPDO serrated line lifting combined with autologous fat granule filling), control group 1 (PPDO serrated line lifting alone) and control group 2 (simple autologous fat granule filling alone), with 75 cases in each group. After 6 months of follow-up, facial skin indexes, contour remodeling effect and adverse reactions after treatment were compared among the three groups.Results:At the last follow-up, the facial skin elasticity and moisture scores of the observation group (63.45±10.11, 56.71±9.38) were significantly higher than those of control group 1 (51.11±9.23, 43.69±7.65) and control group 2 (52.35±9.51, 42.47±7.53). The facial spots and lipid scores (41.31±7.24, 42.18±7.46) were significantly lower than those in control group 1 (48.67±9.15, 53.49±9.45) and control group 2 (48.26±9.21, 53.55±9.53) ( F=37.39, 68.98, 17.42, 40.91, P<0.001). At the last follow-up, the lower surface width of observation group (11.35±0.63) was lower than that of control group 1 (12.21±0.85) and control group 2 (12.38±0.65). The contour ratio of the lower part of the face (0.63±0.17) was higher than that of control group 1 (0.56±0.15) and control group 2 (0.57±0.15) ( F=44.49, 4.36, P<0.05). The change level of the ratio of lower facial area (0.12±0.03) was higher than that of control group 1 (0.07±0.02) and control group 2 (0.08±0.04) ( F=54.31, P<0.001). Conclusions:For patients who need facial rejuvenation treatment, the use of autologous fat granule facial filling therapy has good clinical effects, which can significantly improve the patient's facial skin elasticity, moisture, spots, and oil. The patient's facial contour reshaping effect is better, and the aesthetic score is significantly improved, and does not increase the risk of adverse reactions.

Aiming at the non-stationarity and temporal characteristics of variable-length electrocardiogram(ECG)signals,an arrhythmia identification algorithm is proposed based on continuous wavelet transform and higher-order statistics.Considering the varying number of data points for each sample in variable-length ECG signals,the RR interval interpolation method is employed for data preprocessing,and the signal is decomposed into different time-frequency components using continuous wavelet transform,which enables the network to better extract both temporal and frequency features from the ECG signals.Regarding the issue of insufficient utilization of temporal information,a temporal mining module is introduced based on higher-order statistics and long short-term memory network to capture and learn long-term dependencies in the ECG signals,thereby facilitating the identification and understanding of specific arrhythmia categories.Extensive experiments conducted on the publicly available MIT-BIH ECG database validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

Objective:To investigate the outcome after laparoscopic radical surgery for colorectal cancer in patients over 80 years of age with preoperative combined type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Methods:Clinical data of 919 patients who underwent colorectal cancer laparoscopic resection surgery in Shaanxi Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2015 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The propensity score matching (PSM) method was used for 1∶1 matching of gender, ASA score, preoperative serum albumin level, body mass index(BMI), preoperative haemoglobin level, clinical tumour pathology TNM staging, tumour location, other medical comorbidities and history of abdominal surgery and finally group of 104 elderly diabetic patients aged ≥80 years with combined T2DM were successfully matched with another 104 non-elderly non-diabetic patients <80 years without combined diabetes group. (1) To compare the differences in operating time, intraoperative bleeding, number of intraoperative blood transfusions, number of lymph nodes dissected, number of ICU treatments, postoperative time to exhaustion and postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy between the two groups after matching. (2)To observe the difference in major postoperative complications between the two groups. (3) Patients in both groups were observed for three years post-operative survival rate during the follow-up period. SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. The survival analysis was carried aut by the Kaplan-Meier curve method in parallel and the Log-Rank test.Results:Both groups were balanced in terms of baseline variable after PSM ( P>0.05). There was no difference between the two groups in terms of operative time, intraoperative bleeding, number of intraoperative blood transfusions, number of lymph nodes dissected, or time to postoperative evacuation ( P>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between two groups in the number of people admitted to the ICU for treatment ( χ2=4.04, P=0.042), and ≥80 years diabetic group was higher. The difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups was not statistically significant [34.6% (36/104) vs 25.0% (26/104), χ2=2.30, P=0.130]; according to the Clavien-Dindo classification of postoperative complications, the incidence of Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ complications in the group ≥80 years with diabetes mellitus were was higher than that in the group <80 years without diabetes [12.5% (13/104) vs 4.8% (5/104), χ2=3.89, P=0.049]. For local surgical complications, the incidence of postoperative anastomotic leak was significantly higher in the ≥80 years diabetic group than in the <80 years non-diabetic group ( χ2=4.70, P=0.030), and the incidence of postoperative wound infection was no statistical significance in the two group. For non-surgical local complications, there was a statistically significant difference in pulmonary infection in the ≥80 years diabetic group compared to the <80 non-diabetic group ( χ2=4.68, P=0.031) and in acute coronary syndrome ( χ2=4.02, P=0.045). Compared with the <80 years non-diabetic group, patients in the ≥80 years diabetic group had significantly longer postoperative hospital stay [(13.3±4.4)d vs (9.2±3.2) d, t=3.41, P=0.019]. The difference in adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery between the two groups was not statistically significant (67.3% vs 76.0%, χ2=1.92, P=0.166). The survival rate at 3 years after surgery was not statistically significant in both groups [68.9% vs 74.2%, χ2=4.34, P=0.085]. Conclusions:The short-term and long-term outcomes of colorectal cancer in advanced age with type 2 diabetes are satisfactory. Adequate preoperative assessment of the patient's physical condition should be carried out, close intraoperative control of blood glucose, and close postoperative monitoring and regulation of blood glucose should be performed, except for patients with severe comorbidities and coexisting diseases that cannot tolerate surgery and advanced tumours that have lost their surgical significance.

Objective:To identify the risk factors for postoperative early complications of low rectal cancer treated with intersphincteric resection (ISR).Methods:The perioperative data of 82 patients with low rectal cancer undergoing ISR at the General Surgery Department of Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital between Jan 2017 to Dec 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate, Logistic regression and multivariate analysis were used to analyze the risk factors for early complications after ISR, and a nomogram prediction model was drawn. Predictive models are validated.Results:There were 22 patients (27%) with complications. Univariate analysis showed that early complications were related to diabetes (0.021), serum albumin (<0.001), nutritional prognosis index (0.003), neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (<0.001), and operation time (<0.001). By multivariate analysis, diabetes ( OR=4.853, 95% CI: 1.059-22.241, P=0.042), low serum albumin ( OR=0.672, 95% CI: 0.468-0.966, P=0.032), neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy ( OR=4.482, 95% CI: 1.117-17.979, P=0.034) and longer operation time ( OR=1.015, 95% CI: 1.001-1.029, P=0.037) were independent risk factors A nomogram prediction model was thus constructed, and the area under the curve of the nomogram prediction model was 0.888 (95% CI: 0.812-0.965). Conclusion:Diabetes mellitus, low serum albumin, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, and longer operation time are independent risk factors of early postoperative complications for low rectal cancer undergoing ISR.

Wound healing is a complex process that requires the participation of multiple cells and cytokines. During the process of wound healing, abnormality in any stage of the process may lead to the development of a chronic refractory wound. Research has confirmed that various stem cells can promote wound healing, but some stem cells are limited in clinical application due to difficulties in isolation, susceptibility to apoptosis, ethical and legal issues. Oral mucosal stem cells (OMSCs) can avoid the above problems. This type of stem cells has the characteristics of embryonic stem cells, immune regulatory ability, and strong homogeneity. It plays an important role in the process of scarless oral wound healing, and has become a research hotspot in promoting wound healing and reducing scar formation. This article reviews the research on the mechanism, clinical application prospects, and current problems of OMSCs in promoting wound healing.

Objective:To explore the changes in biological characteristics of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) in obese patients post successful weight loss, so as to provide a reference for the clinical application of these ASCs in refractory wound repair.Methods:This study was an experimental study. Twelve obese patients (8 females and 4 males, aged (50±9) years) who underwent abdominal skin tightening surgery after successful weight loss and were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from April 2021 to April 2023 were included in weight loss group, and 12 healthy volunteers (10 females and 2 males, aged (50±9) years) who underwent abdominal liposuction and facial fat grafting surgery during the same period in the same institution were included in healthy group. Adipose tissue was collected from patients in weight loss group and volunteers in healthy group, and ASCs were extracted. Experiments were conducted using ASCs at passages 4 and 5. Cell proliferation levels were assessed using the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay at 0 (immediately), 24, 48, and 72 hours of culture. The cell scratch test was performed and the cell migration rates at 12 and 24 hours after scratching were calculated. The cell Transwell assay was performed and the number of migration cells at 24 hours after culture was counted. Adipogenic and osteogenic induction assays were carried out, and the adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation levels of cells were detected after 18 and 21 days of induction, respectively. Real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was employed to measure the mRNA expressions of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osteopontin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β). The sample number of each experiment was 12.Results:At 0 hour of culture, the cell proliferation levels of patients in weight loss group and volunteers in healthy group were 1.022±0.056 and 1.000±0.144, respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the groups ( P>0.05). At 24, 48, and 72 hours of culture, the cell proliferation levels of patients in weight loss group were 1.366±0.030, 1.353±0.012, and 1.390±0.016, respectively, which were significantly lower than 1.755±0.077, 1.737±0.014, and 1.700±0.023 of volunteers in healthy group (with t values of 16.27, 71.35, and 38.56, respectively, P values all <0.05). In the cell scratch test, at 12 and 24 hours after scratching, the cell migration rates of patients in weight loss group were lower than those of volunteers in healthy group, but the differences were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). In the cell Transwell assay, after 24 hours of culture, there was no statistically significant difference in the number of migrated cells between patients in weight loss group and volunteers in healthy group ( P>0.05). After 18 days of adipogenic induction, the cell adipogenic differentiation level of patients in weight loss group was significantly lower than that of volunteers in healthy group ( t=27.81, P<0.05). After 21 days of osteogenic induction, the cell osteogenic differentiation level of patients in weight loss group was significantly lower than that of volunteers in healthy group ( t=14.85, P<0.05). Compared with those of volunteers in healthy group, the mRNA expressions of LPL, PPARγ, TGF-β, and Runx2 of patients in weight loss group were significantly reduced (with t values of 59.48, 146.10, 46.10, and 3.13, respectively, P<0.05), while there were no statistically significant changes in the mRNA expressions of osteopontin, ALP, or MMP-9 ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with healthy volunteers, the proliferative capacity of ASCs in obese patients after successful weight loss is significantly diminished, the differentiation potential is relatively weak, and the expression levels of some genes corresponding to adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation are decreased, which may affect the therapeutic efficacy of these ASCs in treating refractory wounds caused by burns, diabetes, or radiation injuries. Therefore, the donor differences of ASCs need to be considered in clinical application.
10.Correlation between psychological symptom cluster and quality of life in patients after plastic surgery
Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2021;27(22):2993-2997
Objective:To investigate the composition of psychological symptom cluster of patients after plastic surgery and analyze the correlation between psychological symptom cluster and quality of life.Methods:Convenient sampling was performed to select 102 patients who were admitted to Department of Plastic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from April 2019 to July 2020. General information questionnaire, Profile of Mood States (POMS) and The World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) were used to conduct the survey. Exploratory factor analysis was used to extract psychological symptom clusters and the correlation between the symptom clusters and quality of life was analyzed.Results:A total of 102 questionnaires were issued and 102 valid questionnaires were returned, with a valid recovery rate of 100%. A total of 30 psychological symptoms were selected, and the top 5 most frequently were anxiety, worry, tension, uncertainty and anger. Through exploratory factor analysis, three psychological symptom groups were obtained, including tension-anxiety symptom cluster (worry, tension, anxiety, restlessness) , information lack symptom cluster (uncertainty, confusion, helplessness, panic) and irritability symptom cluster (anger, anger, resentment) . After plastic surgery, the tension-anxiety symptom cluster, information lack symptom cluster and irritability symptom cluster were all negatively correlated with quality of life ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The types of psychological symptom cluster of patients after plastic surgery are diverse and complex. Among them, the stress-anxiety symptom cluster, information lack symptom cluster and irritability symptom cluster are negatively related to quality of life, which aggravates the patient's symptom experience and affects their postoperative quality of life. Medical staff should pay attention to the occurrence and development of symptom cluster and formulate reasonable intervention measures from the perspective of psychological symptom group nursing to improve quality of life of patients.
