Objective To analyze whether routine prophyrlactic antibiotic administration is necessary for the patients undergoing coronary stent implantation. Methods The clinical data of 156 patients from January 2010 to December 2010 (prophylactic antibiotic therapy),and 466 patients from January 2014 to December 2014(no-prophylactic antibiotic therapy), who underwent coronary stent implantation, were retrospectively analyzed. The prophylactic antibiotics and the infection rates in two groups were compared. Results The rate of infections related to coronary stent implantation in no-prophylactic antibiotic therapy group and prophylactic antibiotic therapy group, such as surgical site infection (0.2% vs 1.3%,P>0.05) and catheter-related infection(0.6% vs 1.9%,P>0.05), was not significant different(P>0.05). Similarly, the unrelated to coronary stent implantation was not significant different, too ( P > 0. 05). Conclusion Routine prophylactic antibiotic administration is unnecessary for the patients undergoing coronary stent implantation.

OBJECTIVETo make a comparatively analysis of the effects of 10% KCl injection into the fatal cardiac area and yolk-sac aspiration on multifetal pregnancy reduction.
METHODSTwenty-three patients with multifetus were selected in the investigation. Eight of the patients accepted 10% KCl injection into the fatal cardiac area, and 15 of them received yolk-sac aspiration. The average number of punctures, average time of reduction operation, failure rate of operation, abortion rate, and infection rate were observed.
RESULTSThe average time of reduction operation[(2.8 +/- 0.7) min] of aspiration was significantly lower than that of 10% KCl injection [(5.11 +/- 1.35) min] (P < 0.05). The infection rate of yolk-sac aspiration was 6.7%, lower than that of 10% KCl injection (37.5%) (P > 0.05). Cardic area injection showed a higher infection rate, and no significant difference was observed in the average number of punctures, failure rate of operation and abortion rate(P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONAlthough both yolk-sac aspiration and cardiac area injection were safe and reliable methods for multifetal pregnancy reduction, the former is worth recommending for its shorter operation time heeded and lower infection rate, especially for the multifetal patients within 60 gestation days.

Caenorhabditis elegans hid-1 gene was first identified in a screen for mutants with a high-temperature-induced dauer formation (Hid) phenotype. Despite the fact that the hid-1 gene encodes a novel protein (HID-1) which is highly conserved from Caenorhabditis elegans to mammals, the domain structure, subcellular localization, and exact function of HID-1 remain unknown. Previous studies and various bioinformatic softwares predicted that HID-1 contained many transmembrane domains but no known functional domain. In this study, we revealed that mammalian HID-1 localized to the medial- and trans- Golgi apparatus as well as the cytosol, and the localization was sensitive to brefeldin A treatment. Next, we demonstrated that HID-1 was a peripheral membrane protein and dynamically shuttled between the Golgi apparatus and the cytosol. Finally, we verified that a conserved N-terminal myristoylation site was required for HID-1 binding to the Golgi apparatus. We propose that HID-1 is probably involved in the intracellular trafficking within the Golgi region.

Whether inhibiting the activity of nuclear factor (NF)-κB potentiates cisplatin-induced apoptosis in non-small cell lung cell line A549 cells was investigated. The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)/IκBα expressing IκBα was constructed. The in vitro cultured A549 cells were trans-fected with pcDNA3.1(+)/IκBα alone, or pcDNA3.1(+)/IκBα combined with cisplatin. The mitochondrial membrane potential (△ψm) was determined by rhodamine 123, the activity of caspase-3 was tested by colorimetric assay, and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry with the annexin V/propidium iodide assay. The results showed that the activity of NF-κB in A549 cells was inhibited by transfecting pcDNA3.1(+)/IκBα. Transfection of pcDNA3.1(+)/IκBα alone did not promote apoptosis. Treatment of cisplatin alone had a little effect on cell apoptosis. Transfection of pcDNA3.1(+)/IκBα combined with cisplatin treatment significantly induced apoptosis of A549 cells. It was concluded that inhibiting the activity of NF-κB potentiated cisplatin-induced apoptosis of A549 cells.

OBJECTIVE To explore the surgical approach and method for treating giant sternal goiter through the neck. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 31 patients with massive retrosternal goiter admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at Southeast University Affiliated Zhongda Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022. RESULTS All patients underwent complete tumor resection through a low neck neck incision,with an average surgical time of 131.64 minutes and an average blood loss of 80 ml. Surgical methods:Total thyroidectomy in 18 cases,left lobe and isthmus resection in 9 cases,and right lobe and isthmus resection in 4 cases. Two cases were transferred to the intensive care unit for transition after surgery,and the remaining 29 cases were all returned to the general ward;No deaths have occurred;Postoperative pathology:The postoperative pathological types were nodular goiter in 21 cases,papillary thyroid carcinoma in 4 cases,follicular thyroid tumors in 2 cases,follicular thyroid carcinoma in 2 cases,large B-cell lymphoma in 1 case,and thyroid borderline tumor in 1 case. Follow up for 6 months to 3 years,with no recurrence cases. CONCLUSION The surgical treatment of huge thyroid nodules behind the sternum through the cervical approach requires thorough preoperative evaluation,understanding of surgical indications,and the use of a low neck incision. During the operation,the main blood vessels supplying the thyroid gland are gradually ligated,separated,and the huge thyroid nodules are pulled out from behind the sternum,successfully and completely removed from the neck,avoiding open chest surgery,reducing the occurrence of related complications,and shortening the patient's course of illness.
