Objective:To observe and compare the wound healing effects,the time and costs of hospitalization of the two drainage ways in the breast polyacrylamide hydrogel removing operations by a prospective randomized controlled approach.Methods:From December 2004 to December 2009,a total of 54 breast-side of 40 patients,whose incision were not healing after breast polyacrylamide hydrogel removing operations,were divided into two groups.Both gorups'skin incision were on the areola or inframammary crease.In the case of removing the polyacrylamide hydrogel during the operation as much as possible,a new incision,approximately 1.5cm,was produced below the inframammary crease approximately 5cm,the negative drainage tube was inserted into the new incision in the A group(distal drainage way),While the negative drainage tube was inserted into the original incision in B group(In-situ drainage way).Results:The breast appearance was flat and thin,the texture was soft and there was no mass or sclerosis.There were significant differences between the two methods in primary healing,the time and costs of hospitalization.Conclusion:The clinical effect of the distal drainage way is better than the clinical effect of the In-situ drainage way,and it deserves to apply in clinical practice.

Residues and analysis methods of phthalate esters plastificator in various plastics of vinyl chloride are presented,and the wide-use and high environment burden of these chemicals is indicated.The categories and toxicity of phthalate esters that might have the effects of environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals are introduced.It is shown by the current studies that the effects of these chemicals on laboratory animals were focused on procreation toxicity such as spermaduct atrophy and ovulation clog,etc.It is suggested that more investigation of these chemicalspotential toxicity should be made and preventive measures should be taken promptly.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody(secukinumab) regulating autophagy and inflammation in gout.Methods The peripheral venous blood samples from 57 patients with acute gout(AG),57patients with intermittent gout(IG) and 82 healthy volunteers were collected and measured for the mRNA transcription levels of autophagy-related genes(ATGs) ATG4B,ATG7, A TG16L1,Beclin-1 and LC3B by RT-qPCR.The model of AG inflammation was established by adding monosodium urate(MSU) crystals into the peripheral venous blood samples of healthy volunteers,and the transcription and protein expression of IL-1β were detected by RT-qPCR and ELISA at 0,1,2,4,6 and8 h and different concentrations(0,100,200 and 400 μmol/L) of secukinumab.The peripheral blood samples of healthy volunteers were divided into control(without MSU treatment),MSU(100 μg/mL),MSU+colchicine(100 μg/mL+30 μg/mL) and MSU+secukinumab(100 μg/mL+400 μmol/L) groups,which were detected for the mRNA transcription and protein expression of IL-1 β and ATGs by RT-qPCR and Western blot,and for the expression of IL-1β,IL-12 and IL-35 by ELISA.Results The mRNA expression levels of ATG4B, Beclin-1 and LC3B in AG,IG and healthy control groups were significantly different(F=3.896,11.78 and 3.856,respectively,each P <0.05),among which the mRNA levels in AG were lower than those in IG and HC groups(t=2.692,3.234,2.231 and 2.085,4.795,2.748,respectively,each P <0.05);the expression levels of ATG16L1 mRNA were significantly different in the three groups(F=7.949,P <0.001),and was significantly lower in AG group than HC group(t=3.860,P <0.001).In AG inflammation model,the mRNA and protein expression of IL-1 β reached their peak in 2—4 h,and the anti-inflammation effect of secukinumab was the strongest at the concentration of 400 μmol/L.Compared with MSU group,the mRNA levels of ATG16L1 and LC3B(t=2.343 and 2.916,respectively,each P <0.05) as well as the expression levels of ATG4B,ATG7,Beclin-1,ATG16L1 and LC3B-Ⅱ proteins(t=28.84,11.6,8.402,4.124 and 2.458,respectively,each P <0.05) in MSU+secukinumab group decreased significantly.The expression levels of IL-12 and IL-35 in the control,MSU,MSU+colchicine and MSU+secukinumab groups showed significant difference(F=7.009 and 6.518,respectively,each P <0.01).Compared with MSU group,the expression level of IL-12 significantly decreased(t=2.604,P <0.05)in MSU+secukinumab group,and the expression level of IL-35 also decreased,while with no significant difference(t=1.928,P> 0.05).Conclusion Secukinumab can regulate the mRNA and protein expression of ATGs,reduce the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines,and inhibit gout inflammation,which provides a reference for the treatment of gout.

The stem cell is a class of primitive cells with self?renewal,and multiple pluripotent potential capacities,which can differentiate into multiple specialized cells and generate human organs and tissues. Stem cell therapy is an interventional treatment that introduces new stem cells to damaged tissues,which facilitates the regeneration of trauma,disease and ageing?in?duced damaged human tissues to repair or replace the damaged tissues,thereby achieving the goal of disease treatment. It has been proved that the stem cell therapy is effective in the treatment of multiple human diseases,including cancer,diabetes,neu?rological disorders,autoimmune diseases,cardiovascular disorders and blood diseases. This review summarizes the advances in the research of stem cell therapy for human parasitic infections.

Necrosis is also tightly controlled by signaling path-ways,thus it is called as regulated necrosis,which includes ne-croptosis,ferroptosis,parthanatos and CypD-mediated necrosis. It has been shown that regulated necrosis is closely related to the occurrence,development and prognosis of injury-relevant disea-ses such as myocardial infarction,stroke,neurodegenerative dis-eases.It will be significant for prevention and therapy of injury-relevant diseases to clarify the signal transductions and regulatory mechanisms for the regulated necrosis.

Background:Colonoscopy is difficult in elderly patients and is accompanied by more frequent abdominal pain and tissue injury. Aims:To investigate the impact of water infusion colonoscopy on abdominal pain and inflammatory response in elderly patients. Methods:Forty elderly patients requiring colonoscopy were enrolled from Jan. 2014 to Jun. 2016 at the Nanyang Second People’s Hospital and randomly allocated into two groups:colonoscopy with traditional air insufflation and colonoscopy with water infusion instead of air insufflation for cecal intubation. Times of cecal intubation and withdrawal were recorded;visual analogue scale( VAS)was used to assess the severity of abdominal pain;and serum levels of three inflammatory indices,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6)and C-reactive protein(CRP)were determined by ELISA before and after the procedure. Results:VAS score at colonoscopy in water infusion group was significantly lower than that in air insufflation group(P﹤0. 05),however,times of cecal intubation and withdrawal were not significantly different between the two groups(P﹥0. 05). Before the procedure,serum levels of inflammatory indices were similar between air insufflation group and water infusion group(P﹥0. 05);0,6 and 24 hours after the procedure, serum levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and CRP in air insufflation group were significantly increased(P﹤0. 05)and higher than those in water infusion group at the same time points(P﹤0. 05). These inflammatory indices were recovered more rapidly in water infusion group than in air insufflation group. Conclusions:For elderly patients,colonoscopy with water infusion might ameliorate abdominal pain and inhibit systemic inflammatory response effectively.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare osthole microemulsion and investigate its in vitro transdermal absorption ability.METHODS:The blank microemulsion formula was optimized based on the solubility of osthole in different oil phase,emulsifier,co-emulsifier and pseudo-tertiary phase diagrams.The viscosity,conductance and particle size of osthole microemulsion were investigated.The permeation rate of osthole was determined using drug diffusion apparatus.RESULTS:The viscosity,conductance and mean particle size of osthole microemulsion were 8.07 mpa?s,123 ?S?cm-1,58.0 nm,respectively.The steady permeation rate of osthole microemulsions reached(33.042?3.1)?g?cm-2?h-1(r=0.995 0)and it was 25.5 times over that of saturated osthole solution.CONCLUSION:The result indicates osthole microemulsion with high permeation rate may be used as new osthole preparation with transdermal delivery.
