Objective To identify the expression of long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs) and their putatively modulated cytokines in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-1 infected monocytes and to explore the role of lncRNAs in immunomodulation of HIV-affected host cells.Methods RNAs arrays were used to screen the lncRNAs differentially expressed in HIV-infected monocytes and subsequently confirmed by quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR).A siRNA was designed and transfected to the human monocytes, followed by interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α detection with ELISA.Results The results of the screening assays and qRT-PCR showed that the expression of lncRNA-n266623 was up-regulated in monocytes after HIV-1 infection;the secretions of IL-1β,IL-10 and TNF-α in human monocytes were significantly enhanced following transfection of siRNA targeting lncRNA-n266623 in the monocytes.Conclusion The HIV-1 infection can promote the expression of lncRNA-n266623 which may inhibit the expressions of IL-1β, IL-10 and TNF-α in monocytes and negatively regulate the immune response to HIV-1 infection.

Objective This study aims to better understand lightning deaths and their distribution law in Liaoning Province and provide a reliable basis for the forensic analysis and identification of lightning deaths and the related research. Methods A retrospective review of related data of lightning deaths from Forensic Science Division of Liaoning Provincial Public Security Department was performed between 2010 and 2015 .Results One hundred and twelve decedents were identified, ages 6–72 years old (mean 37.4 years old), 85 males and 27 females. Physical findings were often related to the superthermal effect carried by the electrical current including the damage of clothing and the metal items(55.4%) , burning of skin(54.5%), lightning mark(19.6%). Most deaths occurred from June to August of each year between 14:00 and 20:00 at weekends, associated with the location, work and activity environment. The number of deaths in rural areas is higher than that in urban areas. Conclusion The occurrence of lightning death cases has certain regularity,systematic and comprehensive examination of lightning deaths are required. Through the statistics of the lightning deaths in Liaoning Province and the analysis of related influencing factors , it is conducive to improving the level of scene investigation and forensic identification of the lightning deaths.

OBJECTIVE Congenital aural atresia repair is difficult owing to unpredictable anatomy. Benefits may be gained from image-guided surgery(IGS) . its exact role and surgery indication were def ined. METHODS From 2001 to 2004,36 ears with bony type C(Schuknecht classification) congenital atresia were performed. In the IGS group(n=18) ,repair surgery was performed with IGS,while in the control group(Non-IGS,n=18) ,similar intervention was applied without IGS. IGS group:aged from 12-29 years,follow-up from 6 months to 1 year. Non-IGS group:aged from 10-27 years,follow-up from 6 months to 3 years. Intra-and post-operative clinical and audiometric findings were compared. RESULTS All of the patients had congenital bony aural atresia,ossicles malformation,tympanic cavity hypoplasia and facial nerve malformation. IGS revealed a malformed horizontal semicircular canal hidden in the bony atresia plate during the operation while computed tomography(CT) did not show preoperatively. IGS computed tomography images correlated well with intra-operative findings,gave the surgeon more securityand reduced operative time(2 hours and 24 minutes) by 25 minutes. The prepare time increased 20 minutes(15-30 minutes) ,but total time decreased 5 minutes in IGS group. The registration accuracy was 0.6-1.3 mm,average 0.84 mm,which was suitable for the otologic surgery. There were 1 case in IGS group and 3 cases in Non-IGS group happened local aural restenosis after operation. But there were no facial nerve paralysis and hearing injury happened in both groups,and all of the patients got the satisfactory hearing after the hearing reconstruction(the air-bone gap with an average of IGS is 31.8dB,Non-IGS is 30.5dB) . CONCLUSION In our estimation,IGS is valuable for type C congenital aural atresia repair. It serves as an educational tool and a guide both for the experienced and inexperienced surgeons in critical situations where anatomical landmarks are distorted and approach is limited. There is no statistically significant between two groups on hearing improvement after operation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Hong's One Stitch Method in pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD).Methods:A total of 40 patients who underwent PD in our hospital from Jan 2021 to Dec 2022 were divided into two groups according to random number table method,with 20 patients in each group.The control group was treated with end to end pancreatojejunal anastomosis,and the observation group was treated with"Hong's One Stitch Method".The perioperative indicators,complications,secondary surgery,mortality and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results:The pancreatoenteroanastomosis time,operation time and hospitalization time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group,and the incidence of pancreatic fistula was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss,pancreatic biochemical leakage,bile fistula,hemorrhage,localized abdominal infection,gastric emptying obstruction,pulmonary infection,secondary surgery and mortality between the two groups(P＞0.05).The mental health score,emotional function score,social function score,energy score,general health status score,body pain score,and physiological function score in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:In PD surgery,the application of"Hong's One Stitch Method"to perform pancreatoenterostomy is beneficial to shorten the pancreatoenterostomy time,operation time and hospitalization time,accelerate the postoperative recovery,reduce the incidence of pancreatic fistula,and improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between changes in the liver computed tomography (CT) images and the postmortem interval (PMI) of rabbits 129 h after their death due to hemorrhagic shock. Methods CT scanning was used to investigate the hemorrhagic shock death model in 23 rabbits to identify the postmortem cerebral changes from 0 h to 129 h after death. Results The liver or lumbar area in the liver window showed the following characteristic changes: from unchanged, to rapid shrinkage, to slow shrinkage; the mean CT values of the liver initially increased and subsequently decreased. The regression equations for the relationship between the two indices and PMI were established by surgery, and they all had statistical significance (P ＜ 0. 01). Conclusion CT scanning can accurately show changes in the rabbit liver after death. The mean CT value of the liver tissue is more sensitive for inferring early PMI. Furthermore, the liver area/lumbar area ratio parameters are more sensitive for inferring mid-late PMI.
