Aim To investigate the molecular mecha-nism for the inhibitory effect of puerarin on IL-6 secre-tion in human osteoblast-likeMG-63 cells. Methods According to our previous studies, human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells containing two estrogen receptor ( ER) isoforms are a suitable model for this study. En-zyme-linked immnosorbent assay (ELISA), RT-PCR, luciferase reporter assay and small interfering RNA were performed to investigate the effect of puerarin on IL-6 expression in osteoblast-derived cells and underly-ing molecular mechanism. Results Puerarin could obviously inhibit IL-6 expression and IL-6 promoter ac-tivity by human osteoblastic MG-63 cells. Treatment with the ER antagonist ICI 182,780 abrogates the a-bove actions of puerarin on osteoblast-derived cells. U-sing siRNA technology, we further demonstrated that the effects of puerarin on IL-6 production were media-ted by ERα. Conclusion The effect of puerarin on IL-6 production in osteoblast is mediated by ERα.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics, causes and preventive strategies of intraoperative and postoperative complications of Da Vince robotic radical resection for lung cancer.Methods:From January 2018 to June 2020, 306 patients with lung cancer who underwent robotic radical resection of lung cancer in our department were reviewed, the perioperative data were statistically analyzed. There were 154 males and 152 females, aged(58.5±10.3) years old, 238 lobectomy cases and 68 segmental lobectomy cases.Results:There were no perioperative death, no conversion to thoracotomy, and no intraoperative vascular injury. Intraoperative blood loss was(41.5±37.4)ml, 302 cases(98.7%) underwent R0 resection, 54 cases(17.6%) of intraoperative bleeding from troca mouth of robot operating arm. 32 cases(10.5%) of postoperative complications, including 3 cases(1.0%) of chylothorax, 1 case(0.3%) of pleural effusion, 28 cases( 9.2%) of alveolar fistula over 7 days with 5 cases of large area subcutaneous emphysema.Conclusion:The most common intraoperative complication in robotic lung cancer radical operation is troca bleeding, and the most common postoperative complication is alveolar fistula. Robot surgery is safe, and targeted preventive measures can reduce the incidence of complications.
