Objective To discuss the feasibility of minimally invasive drainage tube placement and tee-junctions irrigation for the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma. Methods Transcranial drainage and closed tee-junctions irrigation was carried out under local anesthesia in 31 cases of chronic subdural hematoma by using self-made trocar and osteotome. Results All the patients had been completely freed of the disease, without pneumocephalus. Follow-up for 3~6 months revealed no recurrence. Conclusions Minimally invasive tube placement and tee-junctions irrigation for chronic subdural hematoma is feasible. It not only clears away the lesions thoroughly, but also prevents the pneumocephalus effectively.

Objective To evaluate the effect of nutritional intervention on neurological rehabilitation of the elderly stroke patients. Methods Forty elderly patients with sequelae of stroke were recruited and randomly divided into two groups (intervention group and control group). Nutritional intervention including patient and caregiver education and nutrient supplement was carried out for three months in intervention group in addition to the conventional pharmacotherapy and rehabilitative training, and only conventional pharmacotherapy and rehabilitative training were given to the patients of the control group. The nutritional status of both groups was examined monthly, and the infectious morbidity and neurological improvement in both groups were also monitored at the same time. Results There were significant differences between the intervention group and the control group with regard to the nutritional status as indicated by various parameters [albumin(39.65?6.11)g/L vs (37.48?6.57)g/L,hemoglobin(12.68?1.21)g/dl vs (11.72?1.81)g/dl,IgG(11.28?2.61)g/L vs (8.57?1.98)g/L,complement C3(0.84?0.11)g/L vs (0.62?0.09)g/L,BMI(25.26?3.81)vs (23.51? 3.73),all P

Objective:To investigate the role and mechanism of chromosomal region maintenance 1 (CRM1) inhibitor sulforaphene (LFS-01) in killing triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells by inhibiting signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathways. Methods: Whether LFS-01 could combine with the NES pocket of CRM1 was verified by molecular dynamics simulation techniques. The killing activity of LFS-01 on four different breast cancer cell lines was detected by CCK-8 method. TNBC MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with different concentrations of LFS-01, and the intracellular localization of CRM1 cargo protein STAT3 and protein with NES sequence was detected by immunofluorescence; WB was used to detect the effect of LFS-01 on the expression of STAT-3 signaling pathway and its downstream proteins; WB, cellular immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy were adopted to detect the occurrence of autophagy; the effect of LFS-01 on cell cycle and apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Results: Molecular dynamics simulations showed that LFS-01 can bind to the NES pocket of CRM1, indicating that it may structurally affect the latter's protein transport function. LFS-01 could specifically kill TNBC MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 cells. STAT3 and NES-tagged proteins were mainly blocked in the nucleus of TNBC cells after the treatment with 10 μmol/L LFS-01, while they were evenly distributed in the cytoplasm in the control group. The expressions of phosphorylated STAT3 protein, Bcl-xL and Cylin D1 were decreased in MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 cells with the increase of LFS-01 dose and the prolongation of treatment time; the expression of autophagy marker protein LC3B increased, and highdensity, multi-layered autophagosomes appeared at the same time; cell cycle arrest was observed in S phase and apoptosis rate was significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: LFS-01 blocks the export of CRM1 carrier protein, thereby inhibiting the activation of STAT3 signaling pathway and promoting autophagy, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in TNBC MDA-MB-468 and MDAMB-231 cells.
