Journal of Third Military Medical University 2003;0(09):-
Objective To verify that the length of mice fibroblast telomere can be shortened by D-gal.Methods The fibroblasts were from the heart tissue and passaged for 3-5 generations.After the fibroblasts were mixed with(C_(3)TA_(2))_(3)PNA labeled with FITC,the variation of fibroblast telomere length was detected by Flow-Fish.Results The length of fibroblast telomere can be shortened by D-gal.Conclusion D-gal can lead to the fibroblast telomere shortening.It demonstrates that D-gal can cause cellular senescence,which establishes the foundation for the senescence model of heart fibroblast.
2.Retroperitoneal fibrosis:a clinical and outcome analysis of 33 cases and review of literature
Chinese Journal of Rheumatology 2013;(6):383-386
Objective To investigate the clinical features and outcome of retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF).Methods Thirty-three cases of RPF treated in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology were analyzed retrospectively,including the clinical characteristics and laboratory data.Results RPF occurred predominantly in elderly men with untypical clinical manifestations such as back pain,abdominal pain and lower limb edema.In laboratory tests,the inflammatory parameters such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein increased significantly,and renal function failure was frequent finding in patients with urethral obstruction.All patients had retroperitoneal soft tissue image or urethral obstruction on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging,four of which had histological diagnosis of idiopathic RPF.Twenty-three patients received surgical interventions.Eighteen patients received medical treatment alone including corticosteroids,immunosuppressants,and tamoxifen.Nine patients received corticosteroids after surgical intervention.Surgery and medical treatments are effective for idiopathic RPF.Conclusion Image examination is valuable in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of PRF.Pathological diagnosis is the golden standard.Long-term low dose corticosteroids and immunosuppressants may prevent relapse of idiopathic RPF.
3.Patella fracture repair:Cannulated screw tension band versus steel wire fixation
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2013;(52):9089-9094
BACKGROUND:Cannulated screw tension band combined with wire fixation is most commonly used for treatment of patel a fractures.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of combination of cannulated screw tension band and wire fixation in the treatment of patel a fractures.
METHODS:A literature search method was employed to retrieve relevant articles addressing cannulated screw tension band and wire fixation of patel a fractures. In-depth analysis of literatures meeting the study criteria was carried out. Patients with patel a fractures who received cannulated screw tension band and wire fixation were fol owed up to evaluate the postoperative fracture healing, complications and functional recovery of the knee joint at the injury side. Then, the clinical efficacy of cannulated screw tension band combined with wire fixation was analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After treatment with cannulated screw tension band and wire fixation, patients with patel a fractures exhibited good fracture healing and low probability of complications, including screw or wire loosening, broken, and shedding. Functional recovery of the affected knee was up to 90%. Clinical case analysis showed that cannulated screw tension band combined with wire fixation achieved good outcomes in the treatment of patel a fracture, with over 90%functional recovery of the affected knee, which is consistent with the reported results. It indicates that the cannulated screw tension band combined with wire fixation is one of the ideal and reliable methods in use for internal fixation of patel a fractures.

Lung metastasis is one of the most common metastases.Metastasectomy is only indicated for selected patients,and most patients are unsuited to surgery.The main treatment is systemic chemotherapy,however,the long-term survival is limited.With the development of precision radiotherapies such as threedimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT),it is proved that radiotherapy is favorable for the patients with lung metastasis,especially for limited lung metastasis.SBRT can be obtained better survival,but still need large prospective studies.

Objective To investigate the effects of rapid colloid and crystalloid infusions on the plasma concentration of propofol( Cp) during target-controlled infusion.Methods Thirty-six patients were randomly assigned to three interventions(12 patients per group).At least 30 min after the start of propofol infusion,the hydroxyethyl starch solution group(HES)received HES of 24 mL/(kg· h),on the former 20 min,the sodium acetate Ringer’s injection group(AR)received AR of 24 mL/(kg· h),while HES group and AR group of later 20 min and the control group of whole course received AR of 2 mL/(kg· h).The plasma concentrations of propofol were recorded per 2 min and a half.The cardiac outputting,blood volume and clearance of indocyanine green were measured by pulsed dye density analyzer,the effective hepatic blood flow( EHBF) were obtained.Results The varying of Cp with time showed a significant treatment factor(F[2,33] =14.14,P<0.001)and time factor(F[16,528] =10.37,P<0.001)and interaction between the above factors(F[32,528] =2.82,P <0.001) by ANOVA for repeated measurement;the difference of Cp among each group,Cp in HES group was significantly lower than AR group(5-40 min)or control group(10-40 min),with significant difference(P<0.05).The varying of EHBF with time showed a significant treatment factor(F[2,28] =3.68,P=0.038)and time factor(F[2,56] =5.37,P=0.007)and interaction between the above factors(F [4,56] =3.67,P=0.010);while there was no significant difference in other groups.Conclusion Rapid HES infusion increases the effective hepatic blood flow,resulting in a decrease of propofol concentration during target-controlled infusion.Rapid HES infusion should be used cautiously as it may decrease the depth of anesthesia.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the radiosensitization effect of docetaxel versus sodium glyci-didazole.METHODS:A total of 105 patients with intermediate or advanced stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma were randomly assigned to receive docetaxel 40 mg once a week plus radiotherapy or sodium glycididazole 1 000 mg three times a week(Monday,Wednesday and Friday) plus radiotherapy for a total of 7 weeks,or radiotherapy only(control group).RESULTS:There were significant differences between docetaxel group or sodium glycididazole group and control group in sensitization efficiency and radiation dose on tumor regression(P0.05).CON-CLUSION:Lower dose docetaxel is better than sodium glycididazole in radiosensitization efficiency for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma,especially in controlling the metastasis,yet it has minimal side effect.

Objective To observe the effect of restrictive transfusion in colon cancer surgery in elderly patients on postoperative VAP (ventilator-associated pneumonia). Methods Forty cases of elderly patients with colon cancer intending to undertake surgery were randomly divided into restrictive transfusion group (group R) and standard transfusion group (group S) with 20 cases in each group. In group R, patients were administered one third of accumulative fluid loss in the first 60 minute, then the infusion rate were 4 mL/(kg·h) and central venous pressure was maintained at 5 ~ 7 cmH2O. In group S, rate of fluid administration = CVE + deficit +maintenance + loss + third space. Blood gas index including lactic acid and volumes of fluid administered, blood loss, urine volume and thoracic fluid count (TFC) were recorded in the operation. Clinical pulmonary infection score(CPIS) was recorded respectively before operation, 1 day, 3 day, 7 day after operation to evaluate the risk of VAP. Results Compare with those in group S, there were significantly less TFC and intraoperative volumes of fluid administration in group R. The CPIS was significant lower at day1, day3, day7 after operation in group R. There was no significant difference in MAP, HR, CO and urine volume between two groups. Conclusions In colon cancer surgery for elderly patients, restrictive transfusion can maintain hemodynamic stability, ensure the tissue oxygenation, reduce conjunction edema, shorten the recovery and hospital stay and reduce the incidence of VAP.
