BACKGROUND:Vacuum-sealing drainage in wound skin grafting can close wound, reduce the leakage, promote granulation hyperplasia and improve skin new speed.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical effects of two kinds of wound surface dressings used in wound skin grafting.
METHODS: Eighty patients who needed skin grafting for trauma were retrospectively studied and chosen from September 2010 to March 2012. They were divided into two groups: biomaterial group (dressings mainly made of luffa fibers) and synthetics group (seaweed polyvinyl alcohol foam). The vacuum-sealing drainage device and wound dressing were removed after 1 week treatment. The skin grafting coverage and wound healing time were recorded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients of two groups got effective skin grafting coverage rate, and no patient appeared with infection and nonunion. The skin grafting coverage and wound healing time of the biomaterial group significantly differed from the synthetics group (P< 0.05). These findings indicate that compared to the synthetic material group, the biomaterial group can be better for effective drainage, good circulation, bacteria inhibition and fast repair.

Objective To discuss the change and significance of hepcidin expression in patients with hyperlipemia after allograft renal transplantation.Methods Allograft renal transplantation recipients were divided into hyperlipemia group (n =35),and non-hyperlipemia group (n =25).Normal control group was divided into non-hyperlipemia subgroup (n =30),and hyperlipemia group (n =25).ELISA was used to detect serum hepcidin and IL6.Relevant indexes of hematology,biochemistry,and iron metabolism were examined.Results As compared with other three groups,hyperlipemia group after allogenic kidney transplantation had increased serum hepcidin,IL-6,and serum ferritin expression (P＜0.05).Single factor analysis of each group revealed that serum hepcidin expression was correlated with serum ferritin and IL-6 (P ＜ 0.05).Correlation analysis on all specimens demonstrated that serum hepcidin was correlated with glomerular filtration rate,total cholesterol,triglycerides,serum ferritin and IL6 expression (P＜0.05).Conclusion Renal allograft transplantion recipients with hyperlipemia have higher serum hepcidin expression; There exists correlation between the expression of serum ferritin and expression of IL-6,which could reflect the hyperlipemia-induced atherosclerosis and its progress.

Objective To detect the expression and correlation of serum Hepcidin,IL-6,sTfR,BMP6 diversity and explore the role of serum Hepcidin in prostate cancer with bone metastasis.Methods From January 2012 to March 2012,serum Hepcidin,IL-6,sTfR,BMP6 diversity were tested by ELISA in 25 prostate cancer patients with bone metastasis,30 prostate cancer patients without bone metastasis and 30 patients with BPH were used as the control group.The mean patient's age was 67 years (range from 55 to 75 years).In prostate cancers with bone metastasis group,the mean PSA base line was 138.0 μg/L (ranged from 20.0-1500 μg/L),the prostate cancers without bone metastasis group,mean PSA was 10.2 μg/L(ranged from 3.5-28.2 μg/L),and in BPH group,the mean PSA was 3.7 μg/L (ranged from 0.3-14.2 μg/L).Venous blood samples were taken in fasting mornings,then stored 3 ml in EDTA anticoagulant vacuum tube and centrifuged at4 ℃ for 10 min,the isolated serum were then preserved in-80 ℃ refrigerator.The competitive in-phase enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) was used to detect serum Hepcidin,IL-6 and sTfR and BMP6 levels.Results Serum Hepcidin expressions in three groups were 67.7 ± 40.6 μg/L,37.5 ± 15.3 μg/L and 34.3 ± 10.7 μg/L,respectively.For prostate cancers with bone metastasis group,serum Hepcidin expression were higher than control group (P ＜ 0.05),and associated with IL-6(22.5 ±22.1 μg/L),sTfR (5.7 ± 2.6 μg/L),BMP6 (429.3 ± 188.4 μg/L),correlation coefficients were 0.972,-0.987,0.971 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Increased serum Hepcidin level might be a sensitive index for diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancers with bone metastasis.

Intervertebral disc degeneration is one of the orthopedic common diseases , its complex physiopathological changes are regulated by many factors .The matrix metalloproteinases ( MMPs) and its regulatoryl factors play a very important role , and the factors that affect the role of MMPs in intervertebral disc degeneration interact with each other .So MMPs have gradually become one of the hot spot of intervertebral disc degeneration in recent years .In this paper , we first analyze the factors that cause the degeneration of intervertebral disc .Then we summarize the relationship between the expression of MMPs and the degeneration of intervertebral disc ac -cording to the different function of MMPs members in the family .Finally we state that MMPs can have an effect on the degeneration of intervertebral disc by the regulation of gene polymorphism and the related factors .

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionary conserved non-coding RNA molecules.They involve in a variety of biological processes such as regulating the individual development,cell division,differentiation,apoptotic and fat metabolism through post-transcription pathway.It has been shown that miRNAs play important roles in the development and progression of many tumors,including of renal carcinoma,miRNAs play functions similar to oncogenes or anti-oncogenes in the development and progression of renal carcinoma by regulating the signaling pathway of its target genes involving in.

A case of varicella pneumonia, hepatitis and pancreatitis after kidney transplantation was retrospectively analyzed. One week after kidney transplantation, the patient had a papule with pruritus, which was diagnosed as varicella by dermatologist as well as high-throughput sequencing. The patient was found to have pneumonia, hepatitis and pancreatitis. The individualized treatment regimen was used, including the dosage reduction of immunosuppressive agents, the blood drug concentration monitoring, antiviral therapy, anti-infection therapy, supportive treatment, and symptomatic alleviation for complications. The treatment was adjusted according to the indicators'variation. The timely review of the indicators and immunosuppressant blood concentration were performed to protect the transplanted kidney function, and the patient recovered in time. This rare case of postoperative complications of kidney transplantation were summarized and analyzed in order to accumulate clinical experience for the treatment of renal transplantation.

This article was aimed to explore the effect ofSan-Huang (SH) decoction on improving chemosensitivity of MCF-7 cells to epirubicin and inhibition of Aurora kinase A, in order to discuss its underlying mechanism. The inhibition of MCF-7 cells proliferation on breast cancer by SH decoction was determined by CCK-8 assay. RT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the Aurora A, p53 mRNA and protein expression level of MCF-7 cells by SH decoction. The siRNA silenced Aurora A of MCF-7 cells. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the inhibition of MCF-7 cells proliferation. CCK-8 assay and AnnexinV-FITC/PI staining were used to detect the inhibition rate and apoptosis rate of MCF-7 cells treated by the combination of SH decoction and epirubicin. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. The results showed that SH decoction inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 cells in a dose-dependent manner (P< 0.05). The effect of 48 h medication was better than 24 h (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference with medication for 72 h (P > 0.05). SH decoction can regulate the Aurora A, p53 protein and mRNA expression of MCF-7 cells. siRNA silenced Aurora A, which downregulated the inhibition rate of MCF-7 cells by SH decoction for 50.0% (from 49.2% to 24.8%). The combination of SH decoction and epirubicin enhanced the effect of epirubicin on inhibiting the proliferation rate and apoptosis rate of MCF-7 cell, regulated the expression levels of apoptosis-related protein such as c-PARP, c-Caspase 3, Bcl-2, Bax, as well as the protein level of Aurora A. It was concluded that SH decoction can increase the chemosensitivity of MCF-7 cells to epirubicin, which may be related to the inhibition of Aurora Kinase A by SH decoction.

Objective To study the clinical,histopathological,immunohistochemical features and the diagnosis and treatment of paraganglioma of urinary bladder. Methods Two cases of paraganglioma of urinary bladder were treated. The first case was a male with painless haematuria. The abdominal ultrasonography and CT scan showed a 2.5 cm× 2.0 cm mass in the right anterior wall of the bladder, and urine vanillylmandelic acid elevated to 17. 9- 31. 3 μmol/24 h (normal range 10- 35 μmol/24 h). The second case was a female who presented with 8 years history of headache and palpitation after voiding. Abdominal ultrasonography and CT scan showed a 2. 6 cm× 1.5 cm mass in the left wall of the bladder, and her urine vanillylmandelic acid was 35.3-43.3 μmol/24 h. Results One patient underwent transurethral resection (TURBT) and the other underwent partial cystectomy.The two cases were diagnosed as bladder paraganglioma by pathological examination. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for CgA, Syn, NSE and S-100. No evidence of recurrence was detected during follow-up at 3 months and 3 years. Conclusions Paraganglioma of urinary bladder should be considered as a low grade malignancy. Partial cystectomy should be recommended. The diagnosis depends on clinical symptoms, pathological and immunohistochemical results.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect,advantages and disadvantages of 2 different methods on female stress urinary incontinence(SUI),vaginal wall suspension via percutaneous puncture(VWS-PP)and tension-free vaginal tape(TVT).Methods Fourteen SUI cases were treated by VWS-PP and 12 SUI cases were treated by TVT.The patients'age and course in 2 treatment groups were similar,and they were followed up 6 weeks,6 months and 1 year post-operatively.Therapeutic effect was evaluated by presence or absence of urinary incontinence when abdominal pressure increased.Meanwhile,operation time and complication were also compared.Results The therapeutic effect in VWS-PP group resembled as in TVT group,but the complication in VWS-PP was much less than that in TVT.The mean operation time of the VWS-PP group was 80 min(range from 60 to 90 min).while that of TVT group was 35 min(range from 25 to 50 min).The difference between 2 groups was statistically significant(P＜0.01).Conclusions The VWS-PP method is an effective,safe and mini-invasive operation for SUI.similar to TVT.Although the operation time in VWS-PP group is much longer than that in TVT group,the trauma is tinier and the surgeon can observe the anatomy reset by ultrasonic wave.
