Objective To investigate the correlation between inflammatory cells, body temperature changes, and TCM syndromes of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) patients in acute and subacute phases. Methods The data of age, gender, body temperature, blood routine, venous ultrasonography, and four diagnostic information of 130 DVT patients in acute and subcute phases were collected and analyzed in a cross-sectional study. The correlation between inflammatory cells and the changes of body temperature and TCM syndromes were analyzed. Results Among 130 DVT patients, 37 patients had damp-heat syndrome, 64 patients had blood stasis and dampness syndrome, and 29 patients had qi stagnation syndrome. Neutrophils increased most obviously in blood stasis and dampness syndrome (P<0.05), which had close correlation with the skin redness (OR=1.287, 95%CI: 9.412-21.247). The mononuclear cells increased most obviously in the damp-heat syndrome, which has close correlation with nouhof (OR=7.364, 95%CI:1.189–45.603), high skin temperature (OR=6.683, 95%CI:1.791–24.938), skin tightness (OR=6.107, 95%CI:1.423–26.203) and weakness (OR=3.302, 95%CI: 1.002–9.169). The temperature rising was the most common in the damp-heat syndrome, and the increase of mononuclear cells was the most common one. Conclusion DVT is often accompanied with elevated levels of inflammatory cells and body temperature. Damp-heat syndrome has close correlation with body temperature and mononuclear cells increasing. Dampness and blood stasis syndrome and neutrophils are closely related.

Objective To investigate the effects of cyclic stretch on migration of MC3T3-E1 cells and its related mechanism. Methods The strain loading system was used to stretch MC3T3-E1 cells cultured in vitro with 15% amplitude, to simulate the mechanical condition in vivo. The wound healing assay was used to detect the migration of MC3T3-E1 cells. Western blotting was used to test Runx2 expression. RNA interfering was used to decrease Runx2 expression. Results Cyclic mechanical stretch with 15% amplitude, 1.25 Hz frequency and lasting for 24 hours could promote the migration of MC3T3-E1 cells and increase the expression level of Runx2. Runx2 interference inhibited the migration of MC3T3-E1 cells in static culture condition. Interference with Runx2 expression in MC3T3-E1 cells could partially reduce the positive effect of cyclic mechanical stretch on cell migration. Conclusions Cyclic stretch can promote the migration of MC3T3-E1 cells, and Runx2 may play an important role in this process. This study provides experimental basis for finding innovative clinical treatment method to promote fracture healing.

Objective:
To study the clinicopathological characteristics of lung salivary gland-type tumors (SGT), and to compare with the corresponding primary SGT in salivary glands.
Methods:
Twenty-three cases of lung SGT were retrieved from the files of Peking University First Hospital from January 2004 to September 2018. The morphology, immunophenotype, genotype and outcome of these cases were analyzed.
Results:
The 23 patients included 13 males and 10 females, with age range of 13-79 years (median 54 years). There were 11 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma, 10 cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC), one case each of clear cell carcinoma and myoepithelioma. The morphology and immunophenotype of lung SGT were very similar to their counterparts in salivary gland. MYB rearrangement was detected in one of 11 adenoid cystic carcinomas. MAML2 rearrangement was detected in all the MECs. EWSR1 rearrangement was detected in the one case of clear cell carcinoma. Of patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma, the survival time was more than 60 months (three cases), 52 months (one case), and 12-36 months (three cases). There was no recurrence and death in seven cases of MEC with follow-up results. One case of clear cell carcinoma recurred after 52 months of follow-up.
Conclusions
Although the SGT of lung and their counterparts in salivary gland are very similar in their morphology, immunophenotype, genotype and prognosis, there are also some differences between each other. MYB rearrangement can be detected in most adenoid cystic carcinomas of salivary gland, but rarely in lung adenoid cystic carcinoma. The prognosis of patients with lung MEC is better than that of patients with salivary gland MEC, while the prognosis of patients with lung adenoid cystic carcinoma is worse than that of patients with salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma.
