With anti-myc and ras oncogene product monoclonal antibodies p62 and p21, 27 cases of squamous epithelial tumors of the skin (SETS) specimens were examined. The results showed that 62.9%(17/27) and 66.7%(18/27) of the specimens expressed p62 and p21 proteins respectively. Thirteen specimens expressed p62 and p21 proteins simultaneously. The results also showed that p62 was mainly seen in the poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma specimens, while p21 was mainly in the relatively well-differentiated specimens. The authors consider that myc and ras oncogenes might have different effects on the develpment of the SETS, and their synergy might be associated with the persistant growth of SETS.

In the past ten years, 52 patients with double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) were operated on in Xijing Hospital. They constituted 2.2% (52/1881) of all patients with congenital heart diseases. Of them, there were 32 males and 20 females, whose ages ranged from 4.5 to 30 years old. In one patient there was pure DCRV, and the remaining 51 patients DCRV was associated with other congenital cardiac anomalies, in which VSD was the most common (50), followed in order by pulmonary stenosis (6), aortic valve prolapse (4), atrial septal defect (2), and subaortic stenosis (1). The repair of DCRV and other intracardiac defects was done through the right ventricolotomy in 47 cases and through the right ventricolotomy plus atriotomy in 2 cases. In another 2 cases the operation was done via the right atriotomy and 1 case pulmonary arteriotomy, and only VSDs were closed, but DCRVs were missed. The major postoperative complications included cardiac arrhythmia (11) and low output syndrome (8). Three patients died, with the operative mortality of 5.8%. In this series, according to characteristics of the anomalous muscle bundle and its resulting obstruction, we divided 52 case DCRVs into two types: fibromuscular diaphragmatic type (24 cases, 44.7%) and muscular bundle-gap type (28 cases, 55.7%). In both types, there were not only hypertrophied anmalous muscle bundles on the septal side, but also hypertro-phied ventricoinfundibulum fold on the parietal side. In a few cases, the ventricoinfundibulum fold was more hypertrophic than the anomalous muscle bundle on the septal side.

A case of granular parakeratosis is reported. A 31-year-old woman presented with a 23-year history of pruritic erythema and erosion in the left axilla. On examination, there was a ring-like annular erythematous patch sized 8 cm×10 cm in the left axilla. Bright mauve, cone-shaped, millet-like papules were observed in the center of the lesion, some confluenced into plaques. Erythema was present in the pedlesional region along with mild erosion, exudation and small numbers of grain-sized pustules. Scar formed in some perilesional areas. No lesions were noted at any other intertriginous regions. Fungal microscopy of lesion secretions was negative. Histological examination of biopsy specimens from the center of the left axilla revealed psoriasiform hyperplasia of epidermis and thickened stratum comeum with hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis. Most cells in the stratum comenm retained nuclei and contained numerous basophilic granules. Granular layer could be noted under the parakeratotic cells with cytoplasm vacuolization of some cells. There was a perivascular, mixed inflammatory infiltration predominated by lymphocytes and hemangiectasis in the dermis. A diagnosis of granular parakeratosis was made.

Objective To discuss the curative effect and specificity of interventional therapy for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of lower limb in burned patients.Methods The clinical data of 13 patients with lower limb DVT after burn,including 7 males and 6 females with a median age of 46.1 years (37-67 years),were retrospectively analyzed.The causes of burn included flame burn (n=9),electric injury (n=2) and hydrothermal bum (n=2).The burned area was 1％-88％ of the total body surface,with a mean of (37.08± 30.60) ％.Lower limb DVT complicated by lower limb bum was observed in 11 patients,among them bum of both lower limbs was seen in 8 patients.Lower limb DVT associated with inhalation injury was found in 5 patients.Clinically,lower limb DVT was usually detected in 13-72 days after burn,with a mean of (38.69± 16.83) days.Interventional treatment was carried out in all 13 patients,and the curative effect was assessed.Results Technical success of interventional treatment was obtained in all 13 patients.Both inferior vena cava filter placement via right internal jugular vein approach (n=3) or via unaffected-side femoral vein approach (n=10) and anticoagulant therapy were conducted.Catheter-directed thrombolysis was employed in 7 patients,intravenous thrombolysis was adopted in 4 patients,and no thrombolysis therapy was used in 2 patients.No pulmonary embolism occurred.The curative effect rate of interventional treatment was 84.6％(11/ 13).Conclusion For the treatment of lower limb DVT after burn,interventional therapy is safe and reliable,but the selection of puncture site and the use or not use of indwelling catheter for thrombolysis should be carefully taken into consideration.

The kinetic changes in morphology and cellular density of epidermal Langerhanscells (LC) in the guinea pig were observed by ATPase cytochemical staining techniqueafter repeated skin application of 5%,3% and 1% of benzalkonium bromide (BB,primary irritant) and 0.05% dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB,allergen) respectively.We have found that there was a significant difference in the density and morpho-logical change of LC between BB and DNCB application.Treatment with 5% BBcould induce a reversible decline in LC density and changes in cell processes,andwith 0.05% DNCB,the number of LC was decreased and the ATPase activity wasweakened only in the late stage of treatment.The significance of using the kineticchanges in morphology and cellular density of LC as the criteria for the safetyevaluation of weak allergens and weak primary irritants as well as cosmetics wasdiscussed.

Objective:To observe the effect of total knee arthroplasty in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.Methods:From April 2017 to April 2019, 80 patients with knee osteoarthritis admitted to Zhejiang Rongjun Hospital were selected in the research.The patients were divided into control group(40 cases) and observation group(40 cases) according to the random digital table method.The control group was operated by arthroscopy, and the observation group was operated by total knee replacement.The bleeding volume, incision healing time, hospitalization time, incidence of postoperative complication, knee joint activity, VAS score and HSS score were compared between the two groups.Results:The amount of bleeding in the observation group was (137.26±30.85)mL, which was less than that in the control group[(300.31±58.40)mL]( t=15.613, P<0.001). The healing time of incision and hospitalization time in the observation group were (4.20±1.37)d and (7.58±1.20)d, respectively, which were shorter than those in the control group[(6.89±2.43)d and (10.50±3.20)d], the differences was statistically significant( t=6.099, 5.404, all P<0.001). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was 7.50%(3/40), which was lower than 25.00%(10/40) in the control group(χ 2=4.501, P<0.05). The knee joint mobility of the observation group was (106.71±15.38)° after operation, which was higher than that of the control group[(95.51±11.62)°]( t=3.675, P<0.001). The VAS score and HSS score of the observation group were (2.50±0.68)points and (89.27±5.65)points, which were better than those of the control group[(4.53±0.71)points and (69.39±5.41)points], the differences were statistically significant( t=13.059, 16.073, all P<0.001). Conclusion:Total knee arthroplasty is effective in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, which is helpful for the recovery of knee function.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism of severe myocardial contusion in rabbits. METHODS: A total of 32 New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups, the severe myocardial contusion group (the experimental group, n=16) and the sham-impact control group (the control group, n=16). Hemorheological parameters, interleukin-8 (IL-8) in serum, the water contents of myocardium and polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) infiltration in contused myocardium were observed at 24 hours after the experiment. RESULTS: As compared with the control group, the hemorheological parameters in the experimental group including the whole blood viscosity (etab), erythrocyte aggregation index (EAI), hematocrit (HCT), serum fibrinogen (Fib), Casson viscosity (Gammay) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), significantly increased. The IL-8, PMN infiltration and the water contents of the contused myocardium also significantly increased. CONCLUSIONS: It suggests that the hemorheological disorder, increase of IL-8 in serum, and PMN infiltration in contused myocardium may contribute to the development of cardiac edema and secondary myocardial damage following severe myocardial contusion in rabbits.

Objective: To investigate effect of continuous plasma filtration adsorption on treatment of severely burned patients with sepsis. Methods: In January 2014 to September 2017, 86 severely burned patients with sepsis, conforming to the study criteria, were admitted to our hospital and divided into into routine treatment group and continuous plasma filtration group according to the random number table method, with 43 patients in each group. Patients in routine treatment group were treated with routine treatment after admission. Patients in continuous plasma filtration group were treated with blood filter, blood purification machine, and plasma separator for continuous plasma filtration adsorption on the basis of the routine treatment group on the second day after admission. The course of treatment in the 2 groups was 7 d. The total effective treatment rate, changes of leukocyte count (WBC), usea nitrogen, serum creatinine, neutrophile CD64, procalcitonin, and C reactive protein (CRP) before and after treatment, and mortality on 28 days after treatment of patients in 2 groups were analyzed and compared. Results: (1) The total effective treatment rate of patients in continuous plasma filtration group was 88.37% (38/43), which was significantly higher than that of the routine treatment group [65.12% (28/43), χ²=6.515, P=0.018]. (2) After treatment, WBC, urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, neutrophils CD64, procalcitonin, and CRP of patients in continuous plasma filtration group were significantly lower those in routine treatment group (t=6.305, 4.420, 18.537, 13.435, 12.975, 14.234, P<0.05). WBC, urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, neutrophile CD64, procalcitonin, and CRP of patients in 2 groups after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment (t=9.459, 9.130, 25.438, 35.467, 23.471, 23.601, 3.802, 5.662, 12.067, 25.694, 20.720, 12.437, P<0.05). (3) On 28 days after treatment, mortality of patients in continuous plasma filtration group was 6.98% (3/43), which was significantly lower than that in routine treatment group [25.58% (11/43)], χ²=5.460, P=0.023. Conclusions Continuous plasma filtration adsorption is effective in treating severely burned patients with sepsis, which can alleviate inflammatory reaction mediated by inflammatory cytokine with good prognosis.

One severely burned patient, caused by heat lead slag and combined with shock, was hospitalized in our burn unit on 2nd June, 2016. The patient received treatments including anti-shock, intensive care, anti-infection, and organ protection. On post injury day 16, the patient suffered outbreak of acute hemorrhagic necrotizing enteritis after eating dumplings. Plasma and albumin were given, octreotide was intravenously infused to inhibit the secretion of intestinal fluid, the broad-spectrum antibiotics were used for anti-infection, abdominal puncture and drainage were performed, sodium tanshinone ⅡA sulfonate was applied to improve the intestinal microcirculation, ulinastatin was applied to alleviate inflammatory reaction, somatostatin was given to reduce intestinal bleeding, and voriconazole was given for antifungal treatment. The patient gradually recovered and was finally cured and discharged. Among critically ill patients, gastrointestinal tract is not only the initiating organ of sepsis, but also one of the target organs which can be easily damaged during sepsis. This case reminds us the importance of gastrointestinal management in severely burned patients.

Objective: To investigate the early diagnosis and treatment for burn complicated with severe paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH). Methods: Medical records of patients with burn complicated with severe PSH, admitted to our department from April 2016 to March 2019 and meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed retrospectively. There were 4 males and 1 female, aged 17 months to 39 years, with an average of (21±16) years. During occurrence of PSH, the vital signs of patients were routinely monitored and oxygen were given. Other treatment included central venous catheterization and infusion of electrolyte solution, infusion of plasma according to patients′ condition, use of opioid analgesics and benzodiazepine sedatives, physical cooling and drug cooling, and establishment or maintenance of artificial airway and use of ventilator. Heart rate was controlled below 120 beats per minute in adults and 140 beats per minute in children with comprehensive treatment dominated by analgesia and sedation. Besides, single or multiple vasoactive agents, even in large doses were used to maintain normal blood pressure of patients. The occurrence characteristics, time, and treatment outcome of PSH were analyzed. Results: PSH happened rapidly, with a sharp increase in several minutes to dozens of minutes. Five patients were with symptoms such as high body temperature, shortness of breath, very fast heart rate, normal or elevated systolic blood pressure, hyperhidrosis, and dystonia at the onset. The symptoms occurred simultaneously or successively. According to the Clinical Feature Scale, the above-mentioned 6 indexes achieved the highest score of 3 points except of systolic blood pressure. Four patients showed dilated pupils and impaired consciousness. Among the patients, PSH occurred in the acute exudation stage in 3 patients, in the fluid reabsorption stage in 1 patient, and in the late repair stage in 1 patient. PSH of patients lasted for 3 hours to 12 days. The symptoms of 4 patients were effectively controlled, and 1 patient died of deterioration. No PSH occurred in the cured patients during follow-up of 3 to 14 months. Conclusions Burn complicated with PSH can occur at any time before wound repair and in patients with different injury conditions. The causes of PSH include sudden burn, persistent pain, fright and fear, strange environment, low blood volume, and other adverse stimuli, and PSH is more likely to occur in children with underdeveloped brain function. Intravenous infusion of analgesics sedatives, physical therapy and medication to lower body temperature, stabilizing blood pressure and respiration are effective measures to treat PSH. PSH should be distinguished from the common complications of burns, such as sepsis, cerebral edema, hyperpyretic convulsion, transfusion response, stress disorder, etc.
