OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy and safety of fluorouracil combined with paracetamol in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and its effects on related indexes. METHODS: Totally 115 patients with knee osteoarthritis admitted to our hospital from March 2015 to March 2018 were divided into control group (57 cases) and observation group (58 cases) according to medication plan. Control group was given Paracetamol tablets 0.3 g orally, 3 times a day, for consecutive 8 weeks. Observation group was additionally given intra-articular injection of Fluorouracil injection 0.075 g on the basis of control group, once a week, 4 times as a treatment course, for 2 courses in total. Clinical efficacies, VAS scores, Lysholm knee scores, Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scores, Barthel indexes, WHO QOL-BREF scores before and after treatment and the occurrence of ADR of 2 groups were observed. RESULTS: The total response rate of observation group was 94.83%, which was significantly higher than 78.95% of control group (P<0.05). Before treatment, there was no statistical significance in VAS score, Lysholm knee scores, FMA scores, Barthel index or QOL-BREF scores between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment, VAS scores of 2 groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and the observation group was lower than the control group; Lysholm knee scores, FMA scores, Barthel indexes and QOL-BREF scores were significantly higher than the same group before treatment, and observation group was significantly higher than control group (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). No severe ADR was found in 2 groups during treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Fluorouracil combined with paracetamol can significantly improve therapeutic efficacy of patients with knee osteoarthritis, and can significantly improve knee function, motor function, self-care ability and quality of life without increasing the occurrence of ADR.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect mechanism of diazoxide on the proliferation and apoptosis of chondrocytes with oxidative injury based on endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) pathway. METHODS: SD mice were selected for primary culture of articular chondrocytes. The 3rd generation chondrocytes were randomly divided into control group, injury model group and diazoxide group. Control group didn’t receive any treatment. The injury model group was incubated with 300 μmol/L hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at 37 ℃ for 8 h. Diazoxide group was pretreated with 300 μmol/L diazoxide at 37 ℃ for 0.5 h,and then incubated with 300 μmol/L H2O2 for 8 h. The proliferation of chondrocytes was detected by CCK-8 assay. The apoptosis rate of chondrocytes was detected by flow cytometry. The expression of ERS-related proteins [Caspase-3, Bcl-2-associated X(Bax),C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP)] were detected by Western blotting assay. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the proliferation activity of chondrocytes in injury model group was significantly decreased, while apoptosis rate was increased significantly(P<0.05);the protein expression of Caspase-3, Bax and CHOP were increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with injury model group, the proliferation activity of chondrocytes in diazoxide group was increased significantly, while the apoptosis rate was decreased significantly (P<0.05); the expression of above related proteins were decreased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Diazoxide can improve the proliferation activity of chondrocytes with oxidative injury and inhibit their apoptosis by inhibiting ERS pathway.

【Objective】 To compare the short-term clinical effects of oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for treating single-segment lumbar spondylolisthesis. 【Methods】 We retrospectively analyzed the data of 68 patients with single-segment degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis from January 2019 to February 2020. According to different surgical methods, the patients were divided into OLIF+ anterior screw fixation group (33 cases) and TLIF + posterior pedicle screw fixation group (35 cases). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, postoperative hospital stay and complication rate were compared between the two groups of patients. The disc height (DH), lumbar lordosis (LL), fused segmental lordosis (FSL), foraminal height (FH), and spondylolisthesis angle (SA) were measured before and after surgery and during follow-up. The visual analogue scale (VAS) of waist pain and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate the short-term clinical efficacy. 【Results】 The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, and postoperative hospital stay were less in OLIF group than in TLIF group (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in VAS or ODI scores between the two groups at the last follow-up after surgery (both P>0.05). The two groups had statistically significant differences in DH and FH after surgery (P<0.05), but no significant difference in postoperative LL, FSL or SA (all P>0.05). There were six (18.2%) and five (14.3%) cases of complications in OLIF group and TLIF group, respectively, with no significant difference (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 OLIF and TLIF are equally safe and effective in treating single-segment lumbar spondylolisthesis. However, OLIF combined with anterior screw fixation has the advantages of less surgical trauma, less blood loss, shorter operation time, reduced postoperative hospital stay and shorter recovery time. Therefore, it is a more minimally invasive surgical option.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between PD-L1 expression and the degree of infiltration of different types of TILs in triple-negative breast cancer, and the correlation with other pathological features to explore their clinical significance.Methods:Tumor tissues of 199 patients with triple-negative breast cancer in our hospital were selected, and the expression of PD-L1 and the distribution of TILs were analyzed using immunohistochemistry and counted using Image software. The relationship between CD8 +TILs, CD4 +TILs and PD-L1 expression was analyzed and compared, and survival analysis and correlation analysis between PD-L1 expression and pathological information were performed. Results:The density of CD4 + TILs ( χ2=8.75, P=0.003) and CD8 + TILs ( χ2=6.32, P=0.009) infiltration was higher in the PD-L1-positive group compared to that of the PD-L1-negative group. Among PD-L1-positive patients, patients with higher TILs infiltration compared to low infiltrating TILs could achieve longer overall survival time, and the difference was statistically significant ( P1=0.012, P2=0.023, P3=0.010). Patient PD-L1 expression was positively correlated with the number of positive lymph nodes, tumor stage, and ki-67 expression ( Pa=0.032, Pb=0.006, Pc=0.042), and was not related to age or tumor diameter ( Pd=1.031, Pe=0.672) . Conclusions:PD-L1 expression in triple negative breast cancer predicts higher infiltration of CD4 +TILs and CD8 +TILs, while higher infiltration of CD4 +TILs and CD8 +TILs predicts a relatively good survival prognosis.PD-L1 expression is associated with multiple pathological clinical factors and deserves further study to make PD-L1, TILs and other indicators better benefit triple-negative breast cancer patients.
