OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in depression relief in the treatment of depressive disorder at the acute stage between the combined therapy of acupuncture and 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) selective serotonini reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and the single application of SSRIs and explore the impact on the imbalance of 5-HT and TH1/TH2.

METHODSNinety cases of depressive disorder at the acute stage were randomized into a combined therapy group and a medication group, 45 cases in each one. In the medication group, SSRIs were prescribed forl oral administration, once or twice a day, continuously for 4 weeks. In the combined therapy group, on the basis of treatment as the medication group, acupuncture was combined. The main acupoints were Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (GV 29), Shenting (GV 24), Fengchi (GB 20), Dazhui (GV 14) and Sishencong (EX-HN 1), once every two. days, continuously for 4 weeks. Before treatment, and after the 1st, 2nd and 4th weeks of treatment, the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) was used to evaluate the depression severity. Separately, before and after the 4 weeks of treatment, the levels of serum 5-HT, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were determined and compared with those in 45 cases of the healthy group.

RESULTSHAMD score was reduced in the 1st, 2nd and 4th weeks of treatment as compared with that before treatment in the combined therapy group (all P<0 01). HAMD score was reduced in the 2nd and 4th weeks of treatment as compared with that before treatment in the medication group (all P<0. 01). HAMD scores in the combined therapy group were lower than those in the medication group in the 1st, 2nd and 4th weeks of treatment (all P< 0. 01). Before treatment, in the combined therapy group and the medication group, the levels of serum 5-HT, IL-4 and IL-10 were all lower than those in the healthy group (all P<0. 01); the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were higher than those in the healthy group (all P<0. 01). In the combined therapy group and the medication group, the levels of 5-HT, IL-4 and IL-10 in 4 weeks of treatment were all increased as compared with those before treatment (all P<0. 01), and the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were lower than those before treatment (all P<0. 01). In the combined therapy group, the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in 4 weeks of treatment were lower than those in the medication group, and the levels of 5-HT, IL-4 and IL-10 were higher than those in the medication group (P<0. 01, P< 0. 05).

CONCLUSIONThe combined therapy of acupuncture and SSRIs achieves much quicker and more effective re-' sult for relieving depression in the patients of depressive disorder as compared with simple oral administration of' SSRIs, and much more contributes to adjust the imbalance of serum 5-HT and TH1/TH2.

BACKGROUND: It has been found that xenogenic extracellular matrix (ECM) may cause a strong inflammatory response in humans during clinical application of decellularized porcine heart valve (synergraft valves). An early inflammatory reaction severely weakens matrix structure of valve wall, leading to structural rupture and decay of grafts. From Synergraft's event, the decellularized porcine heart valves still had immunogenicity, especially for pediatric patients. The mechanisms by which the ECM triggers this immune process need to be further evaluated. OBJECTIVE: To find the difference of gene sequence between human and porcine ECM and to identify the ECM immunogenicity based on bioinformatics. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A contrast study between human and porcine ECM based on type IV collagen was performed at the Laboratory of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Changhai Hospital, the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from June 2008 to February May.MATERIALS: The fresh porcine heart valves were obtained from Shanghai Wufengshangshi Slaughter House. Decellularized porcine aortic valves, hybridoma cells, and monoclonal antibodies were provided by our laboratory. METHODS: Similar region and conservative site of gene sequence among human, porcine, and rat were compared so as to look for common similar region, site, and sequence difference and investigate the segment which caused common and different gene sequence. Type IV collagen monoclonal antibody was used to evaluate the persistence of ECM of decellularized porcine heart valve following immunohistochemical staining. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Type IV collagen gene sequence; efficacy of self-made antibody using immunohistochemistry; effect of self-made antibody on type IV collage of decellularized porcine heart valve. RESULTS: The differential gene serial in type IV collagen protein was found out by bioinformatics method. Monoclonal antibodies were successfully produced by human-mouse hybridoma technique. Residual porcine ECM was observed on decellularized porcine heart valve. CONCLUSION: Residual porcine ECM was observed on decellularized porcine heart valve and had immunogenicity.

Objective To explore the humoral and cellular immune responses of a vaccine of S fragments from a new type reovirus R4 strain in mice.Methods Four recombinant plasmids were constructed by respectively cloning S 1, S2, S3,S4 genes into pcDNA3.1+, and mice were intramuscularly immunized with the recombinant plasmids in a dose of 100 μg/mouse.Control vector pcDNA3.1 +and phosphate buffered saline (PBS) were used as negative controls.The spe-cific antibody level and IgG subclass (IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b) were detected by ELISA, and cellular immune responses to R4 were assessed using an interferon ( IFN)-γELISpot assay .Results All recombinant plasmids induced significantly higher levels of anti-R4 IgG compared with that of the controls (pcDNA3.1 +and PBS), and the titers were highest in the mice immunized with S1 and S3.On the other hand, S1 gene induced highest IgG2a antibody and the cellular immune re-sponse was best .Conclusions After the mice immunized with S 1 gene recombinant plasmid , this plasmid can initiate both cellular and humoral immune responses in mice .S1 gene recombinant plasmid is a promising vaccine candidate .

Objective:To explore the curative effect of the "domino" sequential method with prosthesis preservation in the treatment of infection around the prosthesis after limb salvage surgery for bone tumors.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 11 patients with peripheral prosthetic infections after limb salvage surgery with prosthesis preserving "domino" from January 2016 to January 2020 was retrospectively analyzed, including 8 males and 3 females; age 21-74 years old, with an average of 51.8 years old. There were 6 cases of knee prosthesis for distal femoral tumor, 2 cases of proximal tibia knee prosthesis, 2 cases of pelvic prosthesis infection, and 1 case of middle femoral prosthesis. Before the operation, 8 cases had fever, and 2 cases had sinus. Sequential treatment failure is defined as: recurrence of infection. The treatment method is the debridement and lavage of the prosthesis and the systemic combined local application of drug-sensitive antibiotics to evaluate the patient's blood routine, C-reflective protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and other indicators, X-ray and CT of the surgical site, and the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score.Results:The positive rate of microorganism culture was 72.7% (8/11), including 2 cases of Staphylococcus aureus, 1 case of Staphylococcus epidermidis, 1 case of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis, 1 case of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, abalone There were 2 cases of Acinetobacter mannifolia and 1 case of Streptococcus degalactiae. The MSTS score before treatment and at the last follow-up after treatment increased from 10.91±2.31 points to 20.73±3.52 points, the difference was statistically significant ( t=7.162, P<0.05). A total of 3 cases of sequential treatment failed to control infection, and the operation success rate was 72.7% (8/11). One case was amputation, one case was long-term replacement of wound dressing, and one case was switched to antibiotic bone cement combined with intramedullary nail reverse double insertion technique to control infection. Conclusion:For bone tumors with clinical infection symptoms less than one month after limb salvage surgery, the use of prosthesis-preserving "domino" sequential method for treatment of prosthetic infections is desirable for early and mid-term clinical efficacy.

Objective:To explore the role of arginine metabolism in the inflammatory response to influenza A virus (FluA) infection.Methods:Eighteen-month-old mice were infected with FluA via nasal drip, with samples collected on the 6th day post-infection. The concentration of cytokines was determined by the Luminex multifactor assay, while the metabolites in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were analyzed using targeted metabolomic method. Correlation analysis was employed to examine the correlation between cytokines and metabolites. Macrophages were infected with FluA at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1 and cultured with different concentrations of arginine for 24 h. The mRNA and protein expression levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and IL-10 were detected by real time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and Cytometric Bead Array (CBA).Results:In comparison to the control group, the levels of surfactant protein D (SP-D), TNF-α, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), IL-1α, IL-6, IL-10, recombinant S100 calcium binding protein (S100) A9, interferon inducible protein 10 (IP-10), macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), matrix metalloprotein-9 (MMP-9), and Complement Factor D in BALF of FluA infection exhibited a significant elevation. The concentrations of arginine, aspartate, citrulline, glutamic acid, ornithine, proline, creatine, and sarcosine in arginine metabolism were up-regulated, which was correlated with most of elevated cytokine levels. The supplementation of arginine after FluA infection significantly decreased the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, but increased the level of IL-10 in macrophages.Conclusions:Arginine reduces the inflammatory response induced by FluA infection in macrophages, suggesting that it may be a potential intervention target for severe pulmonary inflammation following FluA infection.

【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 explore the clinical characteristics of dislocation after resection and reconstruction of tumors involving pelvic area II, and to try to propose intraoperative and postoperative techniques to prevent its occurrence.Methods:From March 2011 to March 2021, 122 patients with resection and reconstruction involving pelvic area II were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 17 had postoperative dislocation, 32 had pelvic area II, and 31 had pelvic area I+II. There were 40 cases in the pelvic area II+III, and 19 cases in the pelvic area I+II+III. There were 49 female patients and 73 male patients; the mean age was 47 years (9-73 years). The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score of lower extremity patients after reduction was evaluated, and the clinical characteristics of dislocation, such as dislocation direction, dislocation time and reduction method, were counted and analyzed, and feasible prevention measures were analyzed based on the imaging characteristics after resection and reconstruction. dislocation method.Results:Among the 122 patients, there were 17 cases of dislocation, and the dislocation rate was 13.7%. Among them, 12 cases were anterior dislocation, accounting for 70.6% of anterior dislocation; 5 cases were posterior dislocation, and the proportion of posterior dislocation was 29.4%, difference (χ 2=4.52, P=0.033). There were 12 cases of dislocation within 3 months after operation, accounting for 70.6%; 1 case of dislocation occurred in 5 months after operation, and the other 4 cases of dislocation occurred for more than one year. The MSTS score of the dislocation patients after reduction was 56.1±15.6% (20%-80%). Combined with postoperative imaging examinations, the feasible methods for preventing dislocation include: The anteversion angle of the acetabular cup can be appropriately reduced (0°-10°); The acetabular cup can be appropriately shifted to the rear of the rotation center; Appropriately reducing the anteversion angle of the femoral neck prosthesis, the combination of the three can reduce the occurrence of femoral-acetabular prosthesis impingement; at the same time, the affected limb is controlled in a neutral position with strict nail shoes after surgery to avoid the occurrence of external rotation. Conclusion:The dislocation after tumor resection and reconstruction in pelvic area II is mostly anterior dislocation. Postoperative CT scan of the pelvis shows that the space between the neck of the femoral stem prosthesis and the lower edge of the acetabulum is small, which is prone to impingement. If the anteversion angle of the acetabular cup is appropriately reduced, the acetabular prosthesis is appropriately displaced posteriorly, and the anteversion angle of the femoral neck is reduced by 5°, the possibility of femoral-acetabular impingement can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of postoperative dislocation.
