Objective To test the effect of bone marrow mesenehymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation on oxidative stress and the development of pulmonary emphysema in rats. Methods SD rats (n=26) were randomly divided into three groups:normal control group (group A, n=8),emphysema group (group B, n=8) and emphysema+MSCs transplantation group (group C, n=10).Rat models of emphysema was established by exposing rats to cigarette smoking for 14 weeks. Then rats of group C received MSCs transplantation. At the 14th and 28th days after 4 course of MSCs transplantations, one rat in group C was sacrificed at each time point and their lungs were preserved in frozen sections. Survival of MSCs in the lung tissues were observed by fluorescence microscopy. Eight weeks after transplantations, lung sections were stained by hematoxylin and eo?sin (HE) to observe the morphological alterations.Mean linear intercept (MLI) and mean alveolar numbers (MAN) were also measured. Serum and lung malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were also examined. Re?sults At the 14th day and 28th day after transplantations of MSCs, MSCs successfully localized to lung and survived in rat models of emphysema. Emphysematous changes of lung tissues were observed in both group B and group C. MLI was higher while MAN was lower in group B and C than those in group A (P<0.05). MLI and MDA levels in serum and lung were high?er while MAN level and SOD activity were lower in group B than those in group C (P<0.05).MDA levels in serum and lung was higher while SOD activity was lower in group B and C than those in group A (P<0.05).

OBJECTIVETo introduce the use of a self-made specimen protective sleeve in laparoscopic resection for upper or mid rectal cancer and sigmoid colon cancer with transrectal specimen extraction surgery and the improvement of implantation method, so as to avoid and reduce bacterial contamination and tumor cell dissemination in abdominal cavity.
METHODSDuring June 2015 and May 2017, 48 cases of high located rectal or sigmoid colon cancer were operated laparoscopically with natural orifices specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) using a self-made specimen protecting sleeve. Operation indication: (1) Rectum and sigmoid colon cancer with the distance of more than 6 cm from tumor inferior margin to dentate line. (2) The maximum diameter of intestine together with mesangial and tumor <7 cm by intraoperative judgment. (3) No anal and distal rectal surgery, no anorectal stenosis or lack of expansion capacity caused by trauma. (4) No ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease or radiation proctitis. After transecting the rectum, the specimen protective sleeve was inserted through the right lower 12 mm main Trocar (This sleeve was tailored from the laparoscopic protective sleeve produced by China 3L Corporation, which was intercepted with 25-35 cm from one end of the sleeve according to the length of distal rectal retention. One end was ligated and the other was open with a ligature band. About 5 ml paraffin oil was used to rinse and lubricate during the operation). The rectal stump retained 7-8 cm in abdominal cavity. The transanal ligation part of the protective sleeve was cut off, then the stapler nail seat was inserted and specimen was pull out through the sleeve and rectum.
RESULTSThere were 30 males and 18 females. The average age was (64.5±14.1) years, the BMI was (25.4±3.9) kg/m, the tumor diameter was (3.3±1.1) cm, the maximum diameter of specimen was (5.4±1.5) cm and the length of specimen was (18.6±4.3) cm. Among these 48 cases, specimens of 36 patients were pulled out through inside of the sleeve easily, while specimens of 12 patients were quite difficult with resistance. Of 12 cases, 7 needed the help of transverse forceps, 4 needed to make 1 cm incision in pull-through bowel and insert a suction to decrease the volume of large specimens with gathering of gas and fluid, and 1 received small abdominal incision to remove specimen and perform intestinal reconstruction due to big specimen (the diameter of tumor and mesentery was 7.5 cm). Specimen tears of 6 patients didn't result in dissemination thanks to the specimen protecting sleeve. The operation time was (113.2±76.1) min, the bleeding amount was (38.5±17.3) ml, the time to first oral intake was (47.9±4.4) h, and the postoperative hospitalization length was (8.5±1.7) d. Anastomotic leakage occurred in 1 case (2.1%). No intra-abdominal and trocar infection, and obstruction were found.
CONCLUSIONThe use of protective sleeve and the improvement of the method of intraperitoneal implantation can effectively reduce the abdominal contamination during the specimen extraction. It can be applied to big specimens as well.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) with or without ribavirin in the treatment of patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods:From June 2018 to May 2022, a total of 75 patients with CHC and CKD, and treated with SOF/VEL±ribavirin at the Kunming Third People′s Hospital were enrolled in this study. The basic information of patients were collected. Assessments of renal function, liver function, virologic response rate and adverse events were conducted at baseline, four weeks and 12 weeks of treatment and 12 weeks after treatment withdrawal. Wilcoxon rank sum test and Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test were used for statistical analysis.Results:Among the 75 patients, 51 cases(68.0%) were classified as CKD stage 2, 12 cases (16.0%) as CKD stage 3, four cases (5.3%) as CKD stage 4, eight cases (10.7%) as CKD stage 5. Additionally, 26 cases (34.7%) were classified as HCV type 3a, while 37 cases (49.3%) were classified as type 3b. Among the patients, 51 cases (68.0%) had cirrhosis, including 15(20.0%) compensated cirrhosis and 36(48.0%) decompensated cirrhosis. Twelve weeks after treatment withdrawal, there was a statistically significant improvement in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) compared to baseline (81.76(60.94, 94.34) mL/(min·1.73 m 2) vs 70.99(52.86, 82.38) mL/(min·1.73 m 2), Z=8.12, P=0.040). From baseline to 12 weeks after treatment withdrawal, eGFR of patients with CKD stage 2 and stage 3 were both gradually increased, with statistical significance ( H=8.91 and 8.03, respectively, both P<0.05). For CKD stage 2 patients, eGFR increased from 78.82(70.98, 84.80) mL/(min·1.73 m 2) to 86.94 (75.91, 96.01) mL/(min·1.73 m 2), while CKD stage 3 patients had an increased from 51.24 (45.92, 53.37) mL/(min·1.73 m 2) to 64.58 (44.54, 74.34) mL/(min·1.73 m 2). Renal function was improved to CKD stage 1 in 21 patients (28.0%). Compared to baseline, CKD stage 2 patients exhibited a decrease of aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index 12 weeks after treatment withdrawal, and alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels were also significantly improved with statistical significance ( Z=8.03, 21.57 and 43.74, respectively, all P<0.05). The rate of sustained virological response (SVR)12 at 12 weeks after treatment withdrawal was 98.7%(74/75). Among these cases, 51 patients in CKD stage 2, 11 patients in CKD stage 3, 12 patients in CKD stage 4 and stage 5 reached SVR12. Adverse events occurred in 32 patients (42.7%), including 18 cases of mild hemolytic anemia, four cases of skin itching, three cases of rash, two cases of chest tightness, and five cases of fatigue. Conclusions:SOF/VEL with or without ribavirin for the treatment of patients with CHC and CKD has good effectiveness and safety. The renal function, liver function and liver fibrosis degree have been improved after antiviral treatment.
