Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2016;20(1):49-54
Abstract BACKGROUND:Previous studies have found that cryptotanshinone represses multiple tumors, but little is reported on its effect on renal carcinoma. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of cryptotanshinone on the proliferation and apoptosis of the renal carcinoma stem cels. METHODS:CD133+ renal carcinoma stem cels were separated from OS-RC-2 cels by immunomagnetic bead separation. Effects of 0, 0.2, 1, 5 mg/L cryptotanshinone on the proliferation and apoptosis of CD133+ renal carcinoma stem cels were detected by MTT and flow cytometry, respectively. Expression levels of Ki67, Bcl-2, Caspase-3 and p-Caspase-3 protein were detected by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After magnetic cel sorting, the percentage of CD133+ cels was increased from 6.32% to 82.73%, and there was a significant difference before and after cel sorting (P < 0.001). Cryptotanshinone could repress the proliferation of CD133+ renal carcinoma stem cels and promote cel apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. The protein expression levels of Ki67 and Bcl-2 in the 5 mg/L cryptotanshinone group were significantly decreased compared with the control group, while the protein expression level of p-Caspase-3 protein was significantly increased. In addition, there was no difference in the protein expression of Caspase-3 between cryptotanshinone and control group. These findings indicate that cryptotanshinone may be a potent anticancer drug for the treatment of renal carcinoma by inhibiting expression of Ki67 and Bcl-2 and promoting protein expression of p-Caspase-3.

Glioma is a highly common malignant brain tumor. Current mainstream treatments include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but the low survival rate and poor prognosis of patients have led scientists to explore new therapies. Hyperthermia is a method of local or whole body heating that utilizes high temperature to kill tumor cells to achieve a therapeutic effect, which has multiple advantages in the treatment of glioma, such as minimal invasiveness and high precision, etc. Studies have shown that hyperthermia combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy can improve the clinical prognosis of patients. Currently, it serves as a therapeutic tool for glioma with huge potential advantages. In this review, the hyperthermia methods applied to treat glioma were introduced. The application prospects and current status of hyperthermia in treating glioma were summarized. In addition, the mature equipment and operation methods that have been applied in the hyperthermia treatment of glioma were illustrated.

Objective:To explore the repair methods of complex facial defect wounds involving paranasal sinuses and their clinical effectiveness.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. From January 2020 to May 2022, 5 patients admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University and 4 patients admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of Chenzhou First People's Hospital with complex facial defect wounds involving paranasal sinuses met the inclusion criteria, including 6 males and 3 females, aged 35-69 years, including 4 patients with titanium mesh exposure combined with paranasal sinuses injury and 5 patients with tumor involving paranasal sinuses. After an adequate assessment of the damage by a multiple discipline team, titanium mesh removal, paranasal sinus debridement, and paranasal sinus mucosa removal were performed in patients with exposed titanium mesh, and radical tumor resection was performed in patients with tumors, with postoperative skin and soft tissue defects areas of 5.0 cm×2.5 cm to 18.0 cm×7.0 cm, anterior paranasal sinus wall defects/absence areas of 3 cm×2 cm to 6 cm×4 cm, and sinus cavity depths of 1 to 4 cm. Depending on the perforator course of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery, the anterolateral femoral chimeric flap or anterolateral femoral myocutaneous flap (with flap area of 9 cm×4 cm to 19 cm×8 cm, muscle size of 5 cm×3 cm×3 cm to 11 cm×6 cm×3 cm) was transplanted to repair the defect, and the donor site wound was sutured directly. The type of tissue flap transplanted, the blood vessel of the recipient area, and the vascular anastomosis way during the operation, the recovery of the donor and recipient areas and the occurrence of complications after operation were observed. The appearance and blood supply of the recipient area and the recurrence of ulcers and tumors were followed up.Results:The anterolateral femoral myocutaneous flap transplantation was performed in 6 patients, and the anterolateral femoral chimeric flap transplantation was performed in 3 patients. The blood vessels in recipient areas were facial arteries and veins in 3 cases and superficial temporal arteries and veins in 6 cases. The superficial temporal arteries and veins were bridged with blood vessels in tissue flaps by flow-through way in 2 patients, and end-to-end anastomosis of blood vessels in donor and recipient areas was performed in 7 patients. After operation, all the tissue flaps survived, and the facial defect wounds were well repaired without cerebrospinal fluid leakage or paranasal sinus secretion leakage, no intracranial infection occurred, and the wounds in donor areas were healed well. Follow-up of 6-35 months after operation showed that all the patients had good blood supply in the recipient area, and the shape was acceptable; 4 patients with exposed titanium mesh had no recurrence of ulceration, and 5 patients with tumor had no local tumor recurrence or metastasis.Conclusions:Based on an adequate assessment of the extent of paranasal sinuses involved in the facial wound and the nature of the defect, good clinical effects can be achieved by using the anterolateral femoral muscle flap or the anterolateral femoral chimeric flap transplantation to repair complex facial defect wounds with open paranasal sinuses.

Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (OBV/PTV/r) 25/150/100 mg once daily and dasabuvir (DSV) 250 mg twice daily combined with ribavirin in adult patients of Mainland China with chronic HCV genotype 1b infection and compensated cirrhosis.
Methods:
An open-label, multicenter, phase 3 clinical trial study was conducted in mainland China, Taiwan, and South Korea. Adult patients with compensated cirrhosis (Metavir score =F4) who were newly diagnosed and treated for hepatitis C virus genotype 1b infection with ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir combined with ribavirin for 12 weeks were included. Assessed SVR rate of patients obtained at 12 and 24 weeks after drug withdrawal. Efficacy and safety were evaluated in patients who received at least one time study drugs.
Results:
A total of 63 patients from mainland China were enrolled, 62 of whom (98.4%) had a baseline Child-Pugh score of 5 points. The overall rate of SVR12 and SVR24 in patients was 100% (95% CI: 94.3% to 100.0%). Most of the adverse events that occurred were mild. The incidence of common (≥10%) adverse events and laboratory abnormalities included elevated total bilirubin (36.5%), weakness (19.0%), elevated unconjugated bilirubin (19.0%) and conjugated bilirubin (17.5%), and anemia (14.3%). Three cases (4.8%) of patients experienced Grade ≥ 3 adverse events that were considered by the investigators to be unrelated to the study drug. None patients had adverse events leading to premature drug withdrawal.
Conclusion
Mainland Chinese patients with chronic HCV genotype 1b infection and compensated cirrhosis who were treated with OBV/PTV/r plus DSV combined with RBV for 12 weeks achieved 100 % SVR at 12 and 24 weeks after drug withdrawal. Tolerability and safety were good, and majority of adverse events were mild.
