Objective To compare and investigate the efficacy of small bone window via lateral fissure and cranial awl hole puncture aspiration via temporal lobe in treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HIH) in basal ganglia. Methods Eighty-two patients with HIH in basal ganglia were divided into group A (34 cases) and group B (48 cases) by random digits table method. The patients in group A underwent small bone window via lateral fissure, and the patients in group B underwent cranial awl hole puncture aspiration via temporal lobe. The hematoma clearance rate, short-term effects, Barthel index, Scandinavian stroke scale (SSS) score and complications were compared between 2 groups. Results The Hematoma clearance rate and excellent rate in group A were significantly higher than those in group B:(91.12 ± 6.55)%vs. (55.83 ± 4.32)%and 52.94%(18/34) vs. 33.33%(16/48), the incidence of complications was significantly lower than that in group B:5.88%(2/34) vs. 22.92%(11/48), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The SSS score 14 d after operation and Barthel index 60 d after operation in group A were better than those in group B:(29.72 ± 6.39) scores vs. (26.43 ± 6.11) scores and (83.91 ± 17.82) scores vs. (72.34 ± 15.62) scores, there were statistical differences (P<0.05 or<0.01). Conclusions The efficacy of small bone window via lateral fissure in treatment of HIH in basal ganglia is better than cranial awl hole puncture aspiration via temporal lobe, however, surgical trauma is relatively large, and operation should be a reasonable choice according to the specific circumstances of patients.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) on tumor microenvironment T-lymphocyte subsets and dendritic cells in H22-bearing mice and the mechanisms for intervention of tumor immune escape by LBP. METHODS: H22-bearing mice were given LBP orally for two weeks. T-lymphocyte subsets and the phenotypes of dendritic cells in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). RESULTS: LBP could significantly increase the numbers of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in TIL as compared with those in model control group (P<0.05). In model control group, the number of dendritic cells in tumor microenvironment decreased markedly, while in LBP-treated group, the increased number of dendritic cells and B7-1 expression were observed, but there were no significant differences between these two groups. CONCLUSION: LBP has anti-tumor effect probably by increasing the numbers of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in TIL to relieve the immunosuppression and enhance the anti-tumor function of the immune system. But whether LBP can recover the phenocyte and function of dendritic cells in H22-bearing mice should be further studied.

Objective:To investigate the effect of medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) on moderate and severe medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis.Methods:This study retrospectively reviewed patients treated with medial open wedge HTO between January 2017 and January 2019. All cases were followed up for more than 2 years. There were 28 patients with severe osteoarthritis, including 11 males and 17 females, aged 56.36±5.06 years. There were 32 patients with moderate osteoarthritis, including 12 males and 20 females, aged 54.16±6.3 years. Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grading, hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), weight bearing line (WBL) ratio, joint line convergence angle (JLCA), medial joint space (MJS), posterior tibial slope (PTS), medial meniscus extrusion (MME) and medial meniscus extrusion ratio (MMER) were evaluated on radiographs before and 2 years after surgery. The International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) of the cartilage of medial femoral condyle (MFC) and medial tibial condyle (MTC) were evaluated under arthroscopy. The clinical outcomes were assessed by the Western Ontario and McMaster University (WOMAC) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) and the degree of medial collateral ligament (MCL) pseudo-relaxation. Predictors of MCL pseudo-relaxation were screened by binary logistic regression analysis.Results:K-L grading, HKA, WBL ratio and MJS improved in both groups after surgery, with no statistical significance between groups ( P>0.05). The postoperative JLCA was improved, whereas MME and MMER were not. And the severe group was higher than the moderate group before and after surgery ( P<0.05). Cartilage of MFC: in the severe group, 2 cases of ICRS 3 grade, 26 of 4 grade improved to 11 of 2 grade, 12 of 3 grade, 5 of 4 grade; in the moderate group, 12 cases of ICRS 2 grade, 18 of 3 grade, 2 of 4 grade improved to 30 of 2 grade, 2 of 3 grade. Cartilage of MTC: in the severe group, 2 cases of ICRS 3 grade, 26 of 4 grade improved to 17 of 2 grade, 8 of 3 grade, 3 of 4 grade; in the moderate group, 11 of 2 grade, 8 of 3 grade, 3 of 4 grade improved to 27 of 2 grade, 5 of 3 grade. The postoperative WOMAC score of the severe group improved from 50.71±8.07 to 3.86±1.84, while in the moderate group it improved from 44.09±6.63 to 3.34±2.24. The postoperative VAS score of the severe group decreased from 7.14±1.21 to 3.34±2.24, whereas it decreased from 6.38±1.24 to 0.44±0.62 in the moderate group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the postoperative groups ( P>0.05). In the severe group, the degree of pseudo-relaxation of the MCL improved from preoperative 25 of I degree, 3 of II degree to postoperative 28 of 0 degree at the 0° position, and from 25 of I degree, 3 of II degree to 24 of 0 degree, 4 of I degree at 30° position ( P<0.05). In the moderate group, the degree of pseudo-relaxation of the MCL improved from preoperative 31 of 0 degree, 1 of I degree to postoperative 32 of 0 degree at the 0° position, and from 28 of 0 degree, 4 of I degree to 32 of 0 degree at the 30° position ( P<0.05). JLCA ( OR=0.08, 95% CI: 0.007, 0.948, P=0.045), MME ( OR=0.11, 95% CI: 0.100, 1.32, P=0.082) and MMER ( OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.422, 1.030, P=0.067) were independent predictors of MCL pseudo-relaxation (the difference was statistically significant at P<0.10). Conclusion:Medial open wedge HTO has significant short-term clinical effect on the treatment of moderate and severe medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis, which can effectively relieve pain symptoms, improve joint function, and restore medial knee stability. Preoperative large JLCA, MME and MMER indicate pseudo-relaxation of the MCL.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze clinical characteristics, flora distribution characteristics, and antimicrobial sensitivity of type 2 diabetic patients with back abscess.Methods:The clinical data of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and back abscess were collected from Endocrinology Department of Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from October 2017 to April 2020. The results of bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test were analyzed, antibiotics were given to treat infection, incision and debridement of abscess were performed according to the situation of abscess, drainage of abscess cavity or continuous negative pressure suction was given when necessary, and the clinical outcome was recorded.Results:A total of 12 type 2 diabetic patients with back abscess were included. The average size of their abscess was(150.3±101.2)cm 2, with over 100 cm 2 in 8 cases(66.7%). Among the 12 patients, 11 patients underwent bacterial culture and drug sensitivity analysis. The positive rate of culture was 100%, and all of them were Staphylococcus aureus, with 10 cases of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus(MSSA)and 1 case of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA). MSSA strains were 100% sensitive to oxacillin, vancomycin, linezolid, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, tetracycline, tegecycline, rifampicin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, amikacin, and teicoplanin. Both MSSA and MRSA strains were sensitive to vancomycin, linezolid, rifampin, amikacin, and teicoplanin. The wound of all patients was healed, with 100% cure rate and(35.8±34.0)days of average healing time. Conclusion:The back abscess in type 2 diabetic patients is characteristic of rapid progress, huge abscess, and difficult to treat, which should be treated early, incised and debrided timely. Staphylococcus aureus is its single pathogen and it is helpful to select the antibiotics empirically.

To explore the incidence and grade of acute gastrointestinal injury（AGI）in patients with acute stroke，and the influence of gastrointestinal disorders on the mortality of stroke. Methods A total of 103 patients were recruited. According to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale（NIHSS）scores，they were divided into two groups：severe stroke patients（n=52）and mild to moderate stroke patients（n=51）.The incidence of gastrointestinal complications in the two groups are calculated. AGI classification was performed according to gastrointestinal symptoms. Binary logistic analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of gastrointestinal failure in stroke patients，and KM curve was used to evaluate the effect of AGI classification on 28-day mortality in stroke patients. Results The incidence of gastrointestinal complications was 91.3%. There was no significant difference in the incidence of gastrointestinal disorders in the mild to moderate stroke and severe stroke groups（74.5% vs 75.0%，P>0.05）；The severe stroke group showed a higher incidence of gastrointestinal failure（7.8% vs 25.0%，P<0.05）. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed：elevated NIHSS score was a risk factor for gastrointestinal failure after stroke（P<0.05）.Combining gastrointestinal failure significantly increased the 28-day mortality of stroke patients（χ2=53.08，P<0.001）. Conclusion Gastrointestinal complications are common in patients with acute stroke. NIHSS score is positively correlated with gastrointestinal failure. And patients with gastrointestinal failure have a worse prognosis.

Objective: To retrospectively analyze distribution characteristics of pathogenic bacteria and their antimicrobial susceptibility in patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis(DFO). Methods: Sixty cases of suspected DFO were collected from the Endocrinology Department of Henan Provincial People′s Hospital. After admission, bone biopsy was carried out to confirm the pathological diagnosis, and the pathogenic bacteria and drug sensitivity were determined by bone culture. In addition, bacterial culture was carried out in the basal tissue of the wound, and the results of bacterial culture were compared with those of bone culture. Results: Sixty patients were diagnosed as DFO after bone biopsy. Among the 60 patients, 45 patients underwent bone culture and basal tissue culture. There are 24 patients of whom the results were consistent, accounting for 53.3%. The positive rate of bone culture was 55.0%, there were 16 strains of gram-positive bacteria and 22 strains of gram-negative bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus(9 strains) occurrence was the most, common finding, followed by Escherichia coli(6 strains). The course of diabetic foot, albumin(ALB), and antibiotic usage rate before admission were lower in bone culture positive group than those in bone culture negative group, while white blood cell(WBC) and C-reactive protein(CRP) were higher in bone culture negative group(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gender, age, course of diabetes, HbA_1C, and creatinine(CREA) levels between the two groups(P>0.05). The results of bone culture showed that Staphylococcus aureus was the main Gram-positive bacteria, which was more sensitive to vancomycin, tigecyclin, linezolid, etc. Escherichia coli was the main Gram-negative bacteria, which was more sensitive to tigecyclin, carbapenems, amikacin, etc. Conclusion Bone biopsy and bone culture should be carried out in cases for suspected DFO patients to identify the pathogenic bacteria, and the bone tissue should be preserved and obtained according to the operation specification before the application of antibiotics, and the appropriate antibiotics should be selected according to the drug sensitivity results.

Insufficient catalytic efficiency of flavonoid 6-hydroxylases in the fermentative production of scutellarin leads to the formation of at least about 18% of by-products. Here, the catalytic mechanisms of two flavonoid 6-hydroxylases, CYP82D4 and CYP706X, were investigated by molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemical calculations. Our results show that CYP82D4 and CYP706X have almost identical energy barriers at the rate-determining step and thus similar reaction rates, while the relatively low substrate binding energy of CYP82D4 may facilitate product release, which is directly responsible for its higher catalytic efficiency. Based on the study of substrate entry and release processes, the catalytic efficiency of the L540A mutation of CYP82D4 increased by 1.37-fold, demonstrating the feasibility of theoretical calculations-guided engineering of flavonoid 6-hydroxylase. Overall, this study reveals the catalytic mechanism of flavonoid 6-hydroxylases, which may facilitate the modification and optimization of flavonoid 6-hydroxylases for efficient fermentative production of scutellarin.
