The initiation and operation of the tissue repair program between the broken ends after fracture is very important for fracture healing, which goes through three intertwined and gradual evolution stages: hematoma inflammatory organization stage, primitive callus formation stage and callus remodeling stage. It is completed by a variety of tissues, cells and cytokines in the bone marrow cavity. In the study of the mechanism of fracture healing, it is found that there are many signal pathways and molecules regulating bone repair, including bone formation, bone remodeling and neovascularization. At the cellular level, it regulates osteoblasts, chondrocytes, osteoclasts and endothelial cells. Hippo signaling pathway is a signal pathway that maintains the size of organs and the balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis, and also plays an important role in maintaining bone homeostasis and bone metabolism. In the process of regulating bone development and repair, it regulates the physiological activities of cells in microenvironment through protein kinase cascade reaction and transcriptional coactivator. The upstream and downstream effectors of Hippo signal pathway directly or indirectly regulate the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of bone metabolic cells, and the interaction with Wnt signal pathway, Notch signal pathway and other important pathways related to bone repair show that Hippo signal pathway plays an important role in the regulation of fracture healing and may become a new target to promote fracture healing. This article reviews the regulatory mechanism of Hippo signaling pathway and its regulatory role in the process of fracture healing, and looks forward to the research prospect of promoting bone healing by using it as a target.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the role of galactomannan (GM) detection in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in elderly patients with lung diseases.MethodsThe elderly patients with lung diseases and suspected of having IPA were enrolled. BALF for culture and GM detection, and serum samples for GM detection were obtained from all participants.According to European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Mycoses Study Group (EORTC/MSG) with host factors, clinical criteria, mycological evidence and histological or cytopathological evidence, all patients were categorized into the proven, probable,possible and no IPA patients. The IPA patients were considered as IPA group while no IPA was considered as control group. ResultsAmong 76 enrolled elderly patients, 18 cases were diagnosed with IPA (1 proven, 11 probable and 6 possible), the remained 58 patients were as control group.Based on a GM index cutoff value of ≥0. 5, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for BALF were 83.3%, 82. 8%, 60.0% and 94.1%, respectively; these variables in serum were 55.60% , 91.4 %, 66.7 % and 86.9% , respectively. Using a GM index cutoff value of ≥1.0, the specificity and positive predictive value of both BALF GM and serum GM reached 100%, but the sensitivity and negative predictive value of BALF GM were higher than serum GM (66.7% vs. 22.2%, 90.60% vs. 80.60%, respectively). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis yielded a sensitivity of 83.4% and a specificity of 96.6% at a BALF GM index cutoff value of ≥0.725. ConclusionsGM detection in BALF seems to be a useful tool in the diagnosis of IPA in elderly patients with lung diseases,and could be widely used in future.

Objective To establish a canine model with pulmonary thromboembolism(PTE) of selective lobar pulmonary artery embolization mimicking chronic thromboembolism, to assess the effects of an inhaled nitric oxide (NO) 20 ppm on vital signs, blood gas, hemodynamic parameters and neutrophils in the alveolar of the canine model. Methods Twenty canines were divided into four groups: group 1: sham group (n=5); group 2; ischemic lung group (PTE group without embolectomy, n=5); group 3; reperfusion lung group (PTE group with embolectomy, n=5); group 4: reperfusion lung group with inhaled NO (PTE group inhaled 20 ppm NO after embolectomy, n=5). And central venous pressure (CVP), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP), pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP) and carbon monoxide (CO) were recorded, pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was also calculated. Vital signs, blood gases were measured before embolectomy and at 2, 4, 6 hours after the operation. Albumin in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was measured by chromatometry of Coomassie brilliant blue. Lung wet to dry weight ratio(W/D) was also measured. Lung tissue pathology and alveolar PMN in the left lower lobar were observed by optical microscopy. Results MPAP increased significantly at 2 hours after reperfusion [(3. 20±0.53)kPa vs. (2. 27±0. 67)kPa,F=63,P=0.02]; At 6 hours after reperfusion as compared with baseline,HR increased significantly [(175±8) beats/min vs. (155±5) beats/min, F=38.72, P=0.01],PaO_2/FiO_2 also decreased significantly (41.70±8.04 vs. 54.71±3.78,F=48.36,P=0.03). MPAP decreased significantly in group 4 as compared with group 3 at 2 hours after reperfusion [(2.53±0.4)kPa vs. (3. 20±0. 53)kPa,F=55,P=0.04]. At 4 hours after reperfusion,PaO_2/FiO_2 raised in group 4,but there was no significant difference as compared with group 3 (49.17±7.37 vs. 39.71±7.31, F=2.36, P=0. 11). The quantities of alveolar PMN infiltration in group 4 decreased significantly as compared with group 3 (19±6/10 HPF vs. 31±11/10 HPF, F=98, P=0.01).Conclusions Lung ischemia-reperfusion injury can be induced by embolectomy from lower pulmonary artery in the PTE model embolized for one week. An inhaled NO 20 ppm can decrease the elevated pulmonary artery pressure induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury and may alleviate the injury by reducing the PMN immigration into the alveoli.
