Objective To observe the mini -invasive treatment for patients with medium volume of hyper-tensive criatocapsular hemorrhage.Methods 59 patients with medium volume of hypertensive criatocapsular hemor-rhage(20 -30mL)were selected and randomly divided into mini -invsasive surgery group and conservative treatment group.Two groups were compared the average length of stay,hospital costs and clinical effect.Results The avergae hospital stay (14 ±3.26)days and avergae cost (1.1 ±0.33)ten thousand yuan of the mini -invsasive surgery group was lower than those of the conservative treatment group (25 ±6.58)days and (1.8 ±0.56)ten thousand yuan],the differences were statistically significant (t =7.999,5.768,all P <0.01).After 3 months follow -up,the recovery of self -care ability after operation estimated by ADL scores in the mini -invsasive surgery group was significantly better than that in the conservative treatment group(12 /31 vs.25 /28,χ2 =16.093,P <0.01).Conclusion For patients with medium volume of hypertensive criatocapsular hemorrhage(20 -30mL),minimally invasive surgery can shorten hospital stay,reduce the financial burden of patients,and improve the prognosis significantly.

Objective To study the frequency of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator(CFTR)mutations in patients with congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens(CBAVD).Methods Eighty-five CBAVD patients were collected from May 2007 to May 2009.The diagnosis of CBAVD included azoospermia,normal of 4 sex hormone items,absence of seminal vesicle,normal volume of testicular and epididymis dilated siltation.And 85 normal fertile men served as controls.Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood.The mutations of CFTR exons 10,11 were detected by PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism,and direct sequencing was performed on 85 cases of CBAVD and the control males.Results Of the 85 CBAVD,10 cases(11.8％)exhibited an abnormal CFTR gene mutation,with 4 cases I556V,2 cases M469V,and 1 case of E527N,A F508,L558S,S485C.No mutations were detected in 85 controls.There was a significant difference between the 2 groups(x2 =8.606,P =0.003).Conclusions CBAVD might be caused by the CFTR mutations.The frequencies and the spectrum of CFTR mutations might be different from those Caucasian population in the west country.

Objective To investigate the changes in plasma very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs),and to explore its relationship with obesity-related index in obese children.Methods One hundred and sixty-six obese children aged 7 to 12 years old were investigated and 148 health children matched with age and sex were selected as control group.Their height,weight,and waist circumference (WC) were measured.The percentage of body fat (PBF) was tested by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.Fasting blood triglycerides (TG),total cholesterol (TC),high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C),low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels,fasting plasma glucose,and fasting insulin (FINS) were determined.The body mass index (BMI),BMI-Z score,waist to height ratio (WHtR),and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were calculated.The plasma VLCFAs were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.Results (1) Compared with normal control children,body weight,BMI,BMI-Z score,WC,WHtR,PBF,TG,TC,LDL-C,FINS,and HOMA-IR in obese children were increased (all P ＜ 0.05),and the level of HDL-C was decreased (P ＜ 0.05).(2) The plasma levels of docosamonoenoic acid (C22 ∶ 1 n-9) and arachidonic acid (C20 ∶ 4n-6) were decreased while the levels of arachicacid (C20 ∶ 0) and eicosapentaenoic acid (C20 ∶ 5n-3) increased in obese children compared to non-obese children.(3) The linear correlation analysis showed that PBF was positively correlated with C20 ∶ 0 and C20 ∶ 5n-3,and negatively correlated with C20 ∶ 4n-6.WHtR was negatively correlated with C22 ∶ 1 n-9 and positively correlated with C20 ∶ 0 (4) The multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that C20 ∶ 0 was the main factor for PBF,and C22 ∶ 1 n-9 and C20 ∶ 0 were the main factors for WHtR.Conclusion The metabolic abnormality of plasma very long chain fatty acids exists in obese children.The changes in C20 ∶ 0,C22 ∶ 1 n-9,and C20 ∶ 5n-3 may be associated with obesity in children.

Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) gene IVS6+G82A and Pro303Pro polymorphisms in Chinese children and determine the effect of PTP1B gene IVS6+G82A and Pro303Pro polymorphisms on the pathogenesis of childhood obesity. Methods A total of 147 Chinese obese and 118 healthy children were randomly selected and enrolled to identify IVS6+G82A and Pro303Pro genotypes by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. Waist circumference (WC), waist to hip ratio (WHR), percentage of body fat (%BF),systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), serum triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), plasma fasting insulin (FINS), homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and plasma leptin were examined. Results The allele frequencies of IVS6+G82A and Pro303Pro were 59.5% and 19.4% in obese children, and 53.4% and 11.0% in healthy children, respectively. There were significant differences in allele frequencies of Pro303Pro polymorphism between the obese and the control group. Pro303Pro polymorphism was associated with body mass index, WC, TG, and LDL C in the obese subjects. There was not di fference in the genotype distributions or allele frequencies of IVS6+G82A polymorphism between the obese and the control group. Further analysis showed no association between the genotypes of IVS6+G82A and clinical characteristics in the obese subjects. The linkage disequilibrium analysis for IVS6+G82A and Pro303Pro (D′: 0.441, r2: 0.027) was weak.Conclusion PTP1B gene Pro303Pro polymorphism might be associated with the pathogenesis of obesity in children and could affect the lipid metabolism in Chinese obese children.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and potential mechanisms of hypertonic sodium chloride hydroxyethyl starch solution (HSH) against the cerebral vasospasm (CVS) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).Methods Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned to four groups according to the random number table,with 6 rats in each group.The SAH-CVS model was reproduced by injection of the blood twice through the cisterna magna.Rats in both model and HSH treatment groups received 8 mL/kg normal saline (NS) or HSH treatment everyday via caudal vein.Rats in sham group were injected with 1.5 mL/kg NS into cisterna magna followed by 8 mL/kg NS treatment.Rats in normal group received no treatment.Rats were sacrificed to harvest basilar artery after 7 days.The thickness of vessel wall and lumen area were measured using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining.The rate of apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) was assessed using flow cytometry.Caspase-3 activity was measured by a fluorometric assay.The expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 were determined by Western Blot.Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected by H2DCFDA.Results Compared with normal group,increased thickness of vessel wall (μm:27.72 ± 1.94 vs.18.30 ± 1.10,P＜0.05),decreased lumen area (μm2:26 115 ± 1 991 vs.55 080 ± 2 091,P＜0.05),and elevation of rate of apoptosis of VSMCs [(35.05 ± 5.54) ％ vs.(5.93 ± 1.53) ％,P＜ 0.05] were found in model group.Compared with model group,decreased thickness of vessel wall (μm:22.55 ± 1.50 vs.27.72 ± 1.94,P＜0.05),increase of lumen area (μm2:48 115 ±2 460 vs.26 115 ± 1 991,P＜0.05),and depressed rate of apoptosis of VSMCs [(16.54 ± 5.94) ％ vs.(35.05 ± 5.54) ％,P＜ 0.05] were found in HSH treatment group.Caspase-3 activity,intracellular ROS level,Bax and Bcl-2 expressions in model group were (188.40 ± 19.35)％,(163.50 ± 17.02)％,(208.71 ± 26.04)％ and (44.52 ± 9.61) ％ of those of normal group,and the differences of these parameters between model and normal groups were statistically significant (all P＜0.05).Caspase-3 activity,intracellular ROS level,Bax and Bcl-2 expressions in HSH treatment group were (135.05 ± 19.52)％,(119.44 ± 11.50)％,(139.20 ± 18.04)％ and (85.35 ± 13.12)％ of those of normal group,respectively,and the differences of these parameters between HSH treatment and model groups were statistically significant (all P＜0.05).The differences of all measurements between sham and normal groups were not statistically significant.Conclusion The current results demonstrate that HSH attenuates the SAH-induced CVS,alleviates thickness of vessel wall,and increases lumen area via inhibition of VSMCs apoptosis.

Objective To study the pelvic fascia related to pelvic autonomic nerve and detect the anatomical localization of pelvic autonomic nerve by marker in adult male.Methods Twelve pelvises of adult male harvested from cadavers were studied by dissection.Results Hypogastric nerve was embedded in the posterior leaf of the visceral pelvic fascia.Pelvic plexus was situated between vesicohypogastric fascia and visceral fascia.Pelvic nerve branch of seminal vesicle and prostate was located at the anterolateral part of Denonvilliers fascia.Sacral promontory,ureter,junction of Denonvilliers fascia,visceral fascia and seminal vesicle could be regarded as anatomical markers for pelvic autonomic nerve.Conclusion The anatomical characteristics of pelvic autonomic nerve can be used for protecting and isolating pelvic autonomic nerve in total mesorectal excision of adult male.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, risk factors, treatment and prognosis of dermatomyositis (DM) patients with positive anti-melanoma differentiation associated gene 5(MDA5) antibody with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RPILD).Methods:The clinical data of 88 DM patients from June 2019 to June 2020, at the rheumatology department of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were collected and retrospectively analyzed. T-test, non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-squared test, Fisher exact probability and Logistics regression analysis were used for data analysis. Results:① 37%(36/88) DM patients were positive for anti-MDA5 antibody. The frequency of ulcerative rash, Gottron's sign, arthritis, clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was significantly higher in patients with anti-MDA5 antibody ( P<0.05). The cell count of white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and serum creatine kinase (CK) level were significantly lower in the anti-MDA5 antibody positive group than those in the negative group ( P<0.05). Of anti-MDA5 antibody positive DM patients, 100% developed ILD, 34% (11/32)developed RP-ILD, 16%(5/32) died, which were significantly higher than those of anti-MDA5 antibody negative patients ( P<0.05). ② Of anti-MDA5 antibody positive DM patients, the C reactive protein (CRP) level, positive rate of anti-Ro-52 antibody and mortality rate were significantly higher RPILD group than those in the non-RPILD group [15.70(4.49, 29.00) vs 3.22 (1.66, 7.15), Z=-2.440, P=0.014; 91% vs 43%, P=0.011; 46% vs 0, P=0.002]. Logistics regression analysis indicated that positive anti-Ro-52 antibody [ OR=4.561, 95% CI (1.797, 11.580), P=0.001] might be a risk factor for anti-MDA5 antibody positive DM-RPILD. ③ Among patients with anti-MDA5 antibody with RPILD, serum ferritin and D-dimer level was significantly higher and oxygenation index was significantly lower in the non-survival group than those in the survival group [1 931 (1 377, 7 379) vs 638(196, 876), Z=-2.556, P=0.009; 2 760(1 995, 4 854) vs 985(533, 1 588), Z=-2.379, P=0.017; 230(140, 256) vs 309(262, 382), Z=2.191, P=0.030]. In addition, the delayed intensive treatment time was significantly longer in the non-survival group than those in the survival group [(14.0±2.6) vs (4.5±1.4), t=7.899, P<0.01]. Furthermore, the proportion of combined therapy with two disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARDs) was significantly lower in the non-survival group than those in the survival group (0 vs 83%, P=0.015). Conclusion:Anti-MDA5 antibody may be associ-ated with characteristic clinical manifestations of DM, ILD, RPILD and high mortality rate. Positive anti-Ro-52 antibody may be a risk factor for anti-MDA5 antibody positive DM-RPILD. High serum ferritin and D-dimer level and low oxygenation index in RPILD patients may be associated with poor prognosis. Early treatment with two DMARDs may improve the prognosis of RPILD.

Objective:To investigate the basic characteristics and treatment of aseptic nonunion of femoral shaft in Xi'an Red Cross Hospital from 2013 to 2020.Methods:The data were analyzed retrospectively of the patients with aseptic nonunion of femoral shaft who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma, Red Cross Hospital Affiliated to Medical College, Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2013 to December 2020. The patients' data from 2013 to 2016 were assigned into group A while those from 2017 to 2020 into group B. The data like gender, age and nonunion were statistically analyzed and compared between the 2 groups.Results:A total of 311 patients with aseptic nonunion of femoral shaft were diagnosed and treated during the 8 years, accounting for 54.6% (311/570) of the femur nonunion, 32.8% (311/949) of the lower extremity nonunion, 25.0% (311/1,242) of the extremity nonunion, and 22.7% (311/1,370) of the whole body nonunion. There were 244 males and 67 females; the majority of patients were in the age group of 21 to 50 (67.2%, 209/311). The occupation distribution was the most common in farmers (49.2%, 153/311). Traffic injury was the most common cause for primary fractures (40.8%, 127/311). The most common type of injury was closed injury (89.4%, 278/311); the most common type of nonunion was atrophic nonunion (87.8%, 273/311); intramedullary nailing was the main treatment for primary fractures (54.3%, 169/311); channel osteogenesis was the main treatment for secondary nonunion (62.1%, 193/311); autologous iliac bone grafting was the most common grafting for atrophic nonunion (83.5%, 228/311). Compared with group A, the proportion of aseptic nonunion of femoral shaft in group B increased by 9.2% in the femoral nonunions, by 6.9% in the lower extremity nonunions, and by 6.0% in the extremity nonunions, and by 5.2% in the whole body nonunions, showing statistically significant differences ( P < 0.05). There were significant differences in the types of nonunion, occupational distribution, first-stage fracture treatment, second-stage nonunion treatment, and bone grafting method between the 2 groups ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The patients with aseptic nonunion of the femoral shaft were more common in young and middle-aged male heavy manual laborers, and the condition was increasing in recent years. The channel osteogenesis technique was still the preferred treatment method in the hospital investigated.

Objective To investigate the effects of bone marrow stem cells autologous transplantation on left ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction. Methods Acute myocardial infarction models were successfully established in 10 swines, which were ran-dom divided into two groups, placebo group and trasplantation group. One week after operation, bone marrow stem cells autologous transplan-tation was performed, and control group was administrated with placebo. B-ultrasound and emission computed tomography aexaminations were performed to assess the left ventrieular end diastolic dimension, left ventricular tip wall thickness, left ventricular end diastolic volume and left ventricula ejection fraction before operation, one week, three months after acute myocardial infarction. Results Compared with that of control group, three months after acute myocardial infarction, transplantation group witnessed smaller left ventricular end diastolic dimension, thicker left ventricular tip wall, smaller left ventricular end diastolic volume and higher left ventricular ejection fraction. Conclusions Bone marrow autologous transplantation after acute myocardial infarction can alleviate left ventricular remodeling.

Objective To evaluate the effect of propofol postconditioning on necroptosis during hy-poxia-reoxygenation (H∕R) injury in diabetic cardiomyocytes. Methods Normally cultured H9C2 cardio-myocytes were divided into 5 groups (n= 19 each) using a random number table: control group (group C), high glucose group (group HG), H∕R group, propofol postconditioning (group P) and solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) control group (group DMSO). H9C2 cells were incubated for 48 h in DMEM culture medium containing 5. 5 and 25 mmol∕L glucose in group C and group HG, respectively. In group H∕R, H9C2 cells were incubated for 48 h in DMEM culture medium containing 25 mmol∕L glucose and then un-derwent H∕R. H9C2 cells were incubated for 48 h in DMEM culture medium containing 25 mmol∕L glucose and then underwent H∕R, and propofol at the final concentration of 50 μmol∕L was added at the onset of reoxygenation in group P. In group DMSO, H9C2 cells were incubated for 48 h in DMEM culture medium containing 25 mmol∕L glucose and then underwent H∕R, and DMSO at the final concentration of 150μmol∕L was added at the onset of reoxygenation. The model of cardiomyocyte H∕R injury was established by subjecting cardiomyocytes to 6 h of hypoxia followed by 12 h of reoxygenation. At 12 h of reoxygenation, the cell viability was measured by CCK8 assay, the product of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in culture medium was measured, the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined by flow cytometry, cardiomyo-cyte apoptosis was detected by TUNEL, and the expression of receptor-interacting protein 1 ( RIP1), RIP3, Bax, Bcl-2, activated caspase-3 and caspase-3 was determined by Western blot. The apoptotic rate and ratio of activated caspase-3∕caspase-3 were calculated. Results Compared with group C, the cell via-bility was significantly decreased, the product of LDH was increased, the level of ROS and apoptotic rate were increased, the expression of RIP1, RIP3 and Bax was up-regulated, the expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated, and the ratio of activated caspase-3∕caspase-3 was increased in group HG ( P < 0. 05). Compared with group HG, the cell viability was significantly decreased, the product of LDH was increased, the level of ROS and apoptotic rate were increased, the expression of RIP1, RIP3 and Bax was up-regula-ted, the expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated, and the ratio of activated caspase-3∕caspase-3 was in-creased in group H∕R (P<0. 05). Compared with group H∕R, the cell viability was significantly increased, the product of LDH was decreased, the level of ROS and apoptotic rate were decreased, the expression of RIP1, RIP3 and Bax was down-regulated, the expression of Bcl-2 was up-regulated, and the ratio of acti-vated caspase-3∕caspase-3 was decreased in group P (P<0. 05), and no significant change was found in the indexes mentioned above in group DMSO (P>0. 05). Conclusion The mechanism by which propofol post-conditioning ameliorates H∕R injury in diabetic cardiomyocytes may be related to inhibiting necroptosis.
