OBJECTIVETo observe the therapeutic effects of Rongban Tongmai granule on oxidative stress in atherosclerotic rabbits.
METHODThe experimental rabbits were randomly divided into control group and hyperlipidemic group. The model of experimental atherosclerosis was prepared by feeding high cholesterol and lipid diet for weeks. After 4 weeks, hyperlipidemic rabbits were randomly divided into five groups, model group, high, medium and low doses of Rongban Tongmai granule and Shujiangzhi group, taking medicine for 8 weeks. The level of NO, ox-LDL, LP(a), SOD and MDA in the serum was measured before experiment, after treatment, treated for 4 weeks and for 8 weeks. After treated for 8 weeks, the level of MDA, GSH and NO, as well as activity of SOD and GSH-Px in the liver of rabbits was determined, meanwhile, the pathologic morphology of aortas was observed by light microscope.
RESULTCompared with control group, aortic intima of rabbits in model group had obviously thickened and developed atherosclerotic plaque. The serum level of MDA and LP(a) in model group had increased (P < 0.01) at 12 weeks after feeding high cholesterol and lipid diet, but the activity of SOD and level of NO were decreased (P < 0.01, P < 0.001). At the same time, the level of MDA in the liver had been elevated (P < 0.01), but the activity of SOD, GSH and NO was decreased (P < 0.01, P < 0.001) in 12 weeks. Rongban Tong-mai granule could inhibit atherosclerotic lesion in aorta, decrease the level of MDA and LP(a) (P < 0.05), increase the activity of SOD and NO (P < 0.05) after treated for 8 weeks in serum, moreover, the activity of SOD, GSH and NO content in the liver were increased (P < 0.05), as well as MDA was decreased (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONRongban Tongmai granule can prevent atherosclerosis by antioxidative stress and correcting unbalance of redox.

Hemorrhagic anaemia caused by chronic gastrointestinal bleeding is a common complication of BRBNS that has the greatest impact on the patient′s quality of life, even life-threatening. Traditional treatments cannot slow down the overall progress of the disease. The curative effect is limited and has certain limitations. Sirolimus can effectively treat vascular malformations of the soft tissues, and it can control gastrointestinal lesions to correct iron deficiency anemia caused by bleeding, improve quality of life, and can inhibit disease progression and improve prognosis. This new emerging medication may become one of the powerful treatments for BRBNS in the future.
9. Applications of three-dimensional surface imaging in the plastic and aesthetic breast surgery
Chinese Journal of Plastic Surgery 2019;35(8):819-824
Three-dimensional surface imaging (3D-SI) can objectively evaluate the shape of body surface, and has been widely used in the plastic and aesthetic surgery. The authors make a review of this technique in the breast surgery, which contains the introduction of 3D-SI, the accuracy and reproducibility of 3D-SI in breast symmetry evaluation, and the applications of 3D-SI in preoperative surgical planning, postoperative effect evaluation, and follow-up observation. Most of the literatures show promising results, indicating that this technique has good prospects in the plastic and aesthetic breast surgery. However, there is still lack of evidence of its superiority over other methods from multicenter large sample randomized controlled studies.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of conditioned medium from keloid fibroblasts under hypoxia on angiogenesis, and to investigate the role of hypoxic microenvironment in invasive growth of keloid.
METHODSPrimary keloid fibroblasts and human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cultured as conventional method. Keloid fibroblasts were cultured either in a hypoxic incubator (2% O2) for 48 h or in a normoxic incubator (20% O2) as control. Then those cell culture mediums were collected and mixed with endothelial cell medium by the proportion of 1:1 as conditioned medium. The mRNA and secreted protein of pro-angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and periostin of keloid fibroblasts under hypoxia were detected by real time PCR and ELISA. The proliferation, migration and invasion, tube formation of HUVEC cultured with conditioned medium were evaluated by CCK-8 assay, Transwell assay and matrigel tube formation assay, respectively.
RESULTSHypoxia increased the expression of VEGF, Ang-1 and periostin in both mRNA (increased by 75%, 43% and 118% respectively, P < 0.05) and secreted protein (increased by 30.2%, 14.2% and 19.5% respectively, P < 0.05) levels; the proliferations of HUVEC in hypoxic conditioned medium in 1, 2 and 3 d were 0.67 +/- 0.07, 0.84 +/- 0.09 and 1.08 +/- 0.10 respectively, which were higher compared to those in control group (0.52 +/- 0.08, 0.72 +/- 0.10 and 0.91 + 0.14, P < 0.05); the numbers of migration, invasion and tube formation of HUVEC were (73.2 +/- 8.9), (56.3 +/- 12.5), (9.66 +/- 1.96) cells/HP, which were higher compared to those in control group [(59.0 +/- 8.0), 35.5 +/- 8.5), (6.5 +/- 1.87) cells/HP, P < 0.05].
CONCLUSIONSHypoxia increases the expression of pro-angiogenic factors of keloid fibroblasts, and its conditioned medium under hypoxia could promote angiogenesis. The results suggest hypoxic microenvironment may play a significant role in the invasive growth of keloid by inducing angiogenesis.
