Objective To investigate effect of monosialotetrahexosy-1 ganglioside (GM1) on the autophagic neuronal death induced by spinal cord injury.Methods Ninety SD rats were randomly divided into sham group,isotonic saline group and GM1 group,with 30 rats per group.Spinal cord injury at T10 segment was induced by Allen method in the isotonic saline group and GM1 group.Expression of endogenous LC3 was detected by florescence microscope.Ratio of LC3-Ⅱ and LC3-Ⅰ,and expression of Beclin-1 were detected by Western blot.Results LC3 was significantly up-regulated in the isotonic saline group,as compared to the sham group (P ＜0.05).Also,an up-regulation of LC3 and a decline of autophagic body formation were observed in GM1 group,as compared to isotonic saline group (P ＜0.05).Expressions of LC3-Ⅱ and Beclin-1 and ratio of LC3-Ⅱ to LC3-Ⅰ were significantly increased in the isotonic saline group,as compared to the sham group (P ＜ 0.05).Expressions of LC3-Ⅱ and Beclin1 and ratio of LC3-Ⅱ to LC3-Ⅰ significantly were decreased in the GM1 group,when compared to the isotonic saline group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion GM1 inhibits autophagic neuronal death after spinal cord injury and hence exerts protective effect on the neurons.

Objective To investigate the application value of continuous irrigation and vacuum suction by subcutaneous drainage tube for prevention of abdominal type Ⅳ incision infection.Methods A prospective,single-blind, randomized, controlled study was conducted based on the clinical data of 123 patients with abdominal type Ⅳ incision infection who were admitted to the First People's Hospital of Foshan between January 2008 and July 2014.Patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group based on the random number table and received open surgery.Patients in the experimental group were placed subcutaneous drainage tube with postoperative continuous irrigation and vacuum suction, while patients in the control group adopted the method of traditional abdominal closure without subcutaneous drainage tube.The levels of preoperative hemoglobin (Hb) and albumin (Alb), severity grading according to the American Society of Anesthetheologists (ASA), levels of Hb and Alb at postoperative day 1, 3, 7 were recorded and postoperative incision infection and bacteria culture were observed.Patients received bi-weekly regular return visit by outpatient evamination after discharged up to 3 months after suture removal.Measurement data with normal distribution were presented as x-± s and comparison between groups was analyzed by t test.Measurement data with skew distribution were presented as M (Qn) and comparison between groups were analyzed by rank sum test.Repeated measures data were analyzed by the repeated measures ANOVA.Count data were analyzed by the chi-square test.Results One hundred and twenty-three patients were screened for eligibility, and 65 were allocated into the experimental group and 58 into the control group.The levels of Hb and Alb at postoperative day 1, 3, 7 were (111 ± 15) g/L, (107 ± 18) g/L, (108 ± 13) g/L and 30 g/L (26 g/L,32 g/L), 31 g/L(28 g/L,33 g/L), 35 g/L(32 g/L,37 g/L) in the experimental group and (112 ± 13)g/L, (106 ±16)g/L, (106 ± 12)g/L and 30 g/L(25 g/L,32 g/L), 32 g/L(29 g/L,33 g/L), 37 g/L (32 g/L,38 g/L) in the control group, with no significant difference in the changing trends of the above indexes between the 2 groups (F =0.124, 0.007, P ＞ 0.05).There were 4 patients with incision infection in the experimental group and 12 patients in the control group, showing a significant difference (x2=2.723, P ＜ 0.05).The infections occurred at postoperative 4-6 days confined to subcutaneous tissues and unreached to muscular and below layers, and then were cured by incision open drainage without recurrence.Patients without incision infection were removed the stitches at postoperative 7-9 days.Incision bacteria cultures showed that Escherichia coli was detected in 8 cases (including 1 complicated with Enterococcus faecalis and 1 complicated with Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 1 case, Klebsiella pneumonia in 2 cases, Acinetobacter baumanii in 1 case, Enterobacter cloacae in 1 case and no bacteria in 3 cases.All the patients were followed up for 3 months after incision healing and survived well without recurrence and complications such as incision split and incision fistula.Conclusion Continuous irrigation and vacuum suction by subcutaneous drainage tube can be operated easily and effectively reduce the postoperative infection rate in abdominal type Ⅳ incision.

Objective: To analyze the efficacy of recombinant activated factor Ⅶ a (rF Ⅶ a) on hematonosis with moderate or severe bleeding signs. Methods: Of total 16 cases with rF Ⅶ a treatment from May 2013 to May 2016, 8 cases received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (allo-HSCT) and the other were non-transplantation patients. In two groups, there was no significant difference on rF Ⅶ a usage and dosage. 15 patients with acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allo-HSCT were control group (without rF Ⅶ a) . Results: ①The total response rate was 75.0% (6/8) in non-transplantation group and 37.5% (3/8) in transplantation group, respectively. Median interval for hemorrhage stop was 38.5 hours in non-transplantation group and 63.0 hours in transplantation group. The median overall survival (OS) was 201.0 and 29.0 days for non-transplantation group and transplantation group, respectively, and the OS rate was 50.0% (4/8) and 25.0% (2/8) , respectively. The bleeding-related mortality rate was 50.0% (2/4) and 83.3% (5/6) , respectively. ②Of the 16 cases, 9 showed response to rF Ⅶ a treatment and the other 7 cases’bleeding signs did not alleviate. The median OS was 268.0 in 9 cases with response and 24.0 days in 7 cases without response, respectively. ③In patients with intestinal aGVHD complicated with intestinal hemorrhage, the median OS of observation group (n=6) and control group (n=15) were 25.5 days and 20.0 days, respectively. Conclusion Patients with hematological diseases, especially patients after allo-HSCT, had high bleeding-related mortality, and rFⅦa therapy had a obvious hemostatic efficacy. The survival rate of patients with response was higher than that of cases without response. The causes of poor hemostasis efficacy of rF Ⅶ a therapy were associated with unsatisfactory control of complications in patients with intestinal bleeding after allo-HSCT.

A multiple-stimuli-responsive drug-conjugated cross-linked micelles was prepared by radical copolymerization. The chemical structure, morphology, and size of the cross-linked micelles were characterized, and the drug loading of the micelle was calculated. The experimental results indicated that the hydrodynamic size of the drug-loaded micelles were about 100 nm, and the as prepared micelles could be degraded and swelled in presence of reducing glutathione (GSH). The low critical solution temperature (LCST) of the micelle was around 39.4℃. According to the experimental results, the micelles will shrink at temperature above the LCST. Subsequently, the accumulative drug release rate was up to 91.78% under acidic (pH 5.0), reductive (GSH 10 mmol/L) and high temperature (42.0℃) conditions mimicking the tumor microenvironment, while a relatively low release rate of 1.12% was observed without stimulation. The drug-conjugated cross-linked micelles showed a strong cell uptake behavior. In the cytotoxicity assay, the micelles exhibited effective anti-cancer activity and excellent biocompatibility. In brief, the experimental results show that the as-prepared drug-conjugated cross-linked micelle exhibits multiple stimuli-responsiveness, which holds great promise for anti-cancer drug delivery.
