Objective To study the anti-tumor effects of alcohol extraction of Coix stalk objects on H22 tumor-bearing mice. Methods The animal model of tumor bearing mice with H22 ascitic tumor cells was established. Eighty-four model mice were randomly and equally divided into Coix stalk extract groups 1-5 (10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 g/kg), model control group and cyclophosphamide group. Mice were treated orally with Coix stalk alcohol extraction solution (10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 g/kg), cyclophosphamide 0.02 g/kg and normal saline once a day for 8 days for Coix stalk extract group, cyclophosphamide group and model control group. The mouse activity, the size and the appearance of time of abdominal swelling, and changes of hair, feeding and drinking water quantity were observed in groups of mice. The solid tumor mass was measured in H22 tumor-bearing mice. The tumor inhibitory rate, liver index, spleen index and thymus index were calculated. Results The axillary tumor muster was found first in model control group with the fastest growth, reduced independent activity, decreased appetite and dim in hair color, followed by the Coix stalk extract group 1 and group 2. The last was Coix stalk extract group 5 and cyclophosphamide group. The solid tumor mass were (0.47±0.18), (0.37± 0.13), (0.34±0.10), (0.30±0.11) and (0.28±0.09) mg for Coix stalk alcohol extract groups 1-5, which were significantly lower than those of model control group (0.60 mg±0.21 mg, F=5.700,P<0.05). The tumor inhibition rates were 21.67%, 38.33%, 43.33%, 50.00%, 53.33%and 60.00%in Coix stalk extract groups 1-5 and cyclophosphamide group. The liver index, spleen index and thymus index were lower in cyclophosphamide group and Coix stalk alcohol extract groups than those of model control group (except for the spleen index of Coix stalk extract group 1). The liver index was lower in Coix stalk ethanol extract groups than that of cyclophosphamide group. There were no significant differences in the spleen index, thymus index between Coix stalk ethanol extract groups and cyclophosphamide group. Conclusion Coix stalk alcohol extract has inhibitory effects on the tumor and liver damage in H22 mice.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of dihydroartemisinin(DHA)on lipo-polysaccharide(LPS)-induced acute lung injury(ALI)in mice using whole-genome sequencing.METHODS An ALI mouse model was established via intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg·kg-1 lipopolysaccharide.The mice were divided into normal control group(n=10),model group(n=10)and model+DHA group(n=10).The mice in the model+DHA group were injected intraperitoneally with 20 mg·kg-1 DHA,while those in the normal control group and LPS group were injected intraperitoneally with solvent of DHA,saline containing 1%Tween 80 and 10%Macrogol 400.The mice were executed 24 h after drug administration.The wet and dry weight ratio(W/D)of lung tissue was calculated.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe histopathological damage in the lung.Classified counts of inflamma-tory cells in alveolar lavage fluid were performed.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in alveolar lavage fluid.Real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)was used to detect mRNA levels of placenta-specific 8(Plac8),Toll-like receptor 7(TLR7),IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-αin lung tissue.The whole gene transcriptome was sequenced by RNA transcriptome sequencing(RNA-seq)using the Illumina HiSeq high-throughput sequencing platform before the function and signal pathway of differentially expressed gene mRNA between the groups were enriched and analyzed using GO and KEGG enrichment analysis methods.RESULTS Compared with the model group,the lung W/D values of mice,the pathological damage,inflammatory cells in alveolar lavage fluid,expression levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in alveolar lavage fluid(P<0.01,P<0.01,P<0.01),and the mRNA expression levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly reduced in lung tissues in the model+DHA group(P<0.01,P<0.05,P<0.05).Whole gene transcriptome sequencing revealed that immune-related Plac8 and TLR7 genes were significantly upregu-lated(P<0.01)in mouse lung tissue of the model group but significantly downregulated(P<0.05)in mouse lung tissue of the model+DHA group.The results of RT-qPCR of Plac8 and TLR7 verified the results of whole gene transcriptome sequencing.GO and KEGG analysis showed that Plac8 and TLR7 were mainly related to the regulation of cytokine production,T/B cell activation and signal transduction,chemo-kine signal transduction and NF-κB signal transduction.CONCLUSION DHA might reduce LPS-induced lung damage and ameliorate the inflammatory condition in lungs of ALI mice.The mechanism of action may be that DHA negatively regulates the signaling pathways involved in TLR7 and Plac8 by decreasing the expressions of TLR7 and Plac8 mRNA before regulating a series of immune responses such as secretion of inflammation-related cytokines and activation of immune cells,thereby reducing inflam-matory damage in lungs.

【Objective】 To investigate the common etiology, characteristics and treatment of iatrogenic ureteral stricture. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 226 patients with ureteral stricture repaired during May 2019 and Mar. 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 68 cases of iatrogenic ureteral stricture. According to the etiology, the patients were divided into urinary group and non-urinary group. 【Results】 There were 42 females and 26 males, aged 25 to 67 (average 49.0±10.4) years. Upper ureteral stricture was detected in 24 (35.3%) cases, who received oral mucosal repair of the ureter. Middle ureteral stricture was detected in 12 (17.6%) cases, who underwent ileal ureterography. Lower ureteral stricture was observed in 24 (35.3%) cases, who were treated with vesical wall flap ureteroplasty. Full-length stricture was observed in 8 (11.8%) cases,who were treated with ileal ureterography. There were significant differences in age, gender, stenosis side, stenosis location and length, surgical methods and types between patients in the urinary group and non-urinary group (P<0.05). During the follow-up of 8 to 20 (average 12.3±5.6) months, the symptoms and renal function of all patients improved, and no recurrence occurred. 【Conclusion】 Invasive endourological surgery is the most common cause of iatrogenic ureteral stenosis. Different treatment strategies should be adopted according to patients’ condition, time of diagnosis and location and length of ureteral injury.

Objective:To evalute the accuracy and clinical outcome of a real-time navigation system for the placement of quad zygomatic implants.Methods:Twenty-four patients [9 males and 15 females, mean age was (50.8±14.7) years old], from January 2015 to December 2019, with 96 zygomatic implants placed under a real-time navigation system in Department of Second Dental Center and Department of Oral Implantology of Ninth People′s Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine were included in the study. The preoperative and the postoperative multislice CT or cone-beam CT were fused to measure and record the entry, exit and angle deviation between the planned and placed implants. The implants were divided into groups according to implant insertion approach (real-time navigation and free-hand), implant length (<47.5 mm and ≥47.5 mm) and implant position (proximal and distal implant). And the differences of implant accuracy were analyzed. The intraoperative and postoperative complications were also recorded. The implant survival rate was evaluated after 6 months follow-up. A P value<0.05 indicates statistical significance. Results:The mean entry, exit and angle deviation of zygomatic implants were (1.49±0.64) mm, [2.03(1.58, 2.40)] mm and (2.49°±1.12°), respectively. The average entry, exit and angle deviation of the navigation guided implant insertion group were (1.45±0.60) mm, (1.96±0.44) mm and (2.66±1.13°) respectively, while those of the free-hand group were (1.50±0.64) mm, (2.04±0.79) mm and (2.50°±1.13°) respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The average entry, exit and angle deviation of the group with length<47.5 mm were (1.42±0.60) mm, (2.13±0.60) mm and (2.61°±1.08°) respectively and those of the group with length ≥ 47.5 mm were (1.52±0.65) mm, (1.98±0.82) mm and (2.43°±1.14°) respectively. No significant difference was found between the two groups ( P>0.05). In proximal implant group, the average entry, exit and angle deviation were (1.55±0.69) mm, (2.05±0.92) mm and (2.48°±1.16 °) respectively while those of distal implant group were (1.43±0.57) mm, (2.01±0.57) mm and (2.49°±1.10°), respectively. No significant difference was detected between the two groups ( P>0.05). All zygomatic implants were placed uneventfully. There were no intra-operative complications, and post-operative reversible complications developed in 3 patients. Two zygomatic implants were lost and the overall zygomatic implant survival rate was 97.9% (94/96) within a follow-up of 6 months. Conclusions:Quad zygomatic implant placement can be achieved with high accuracy and predictable clinical outcome under guidance of a real-time navigation system.
