OBJECTIVETo explore the curative effect of surgery and selerotherapy for massive venous malformations of the tongue.

METHODSFrom January 2005 to December 2014, subtotal resection or debulking for 15 cases of massive venous malformation in the tongue was undertaken with multiple sessions of pre- and post-operative injection therapy of pingyangmycin, lauromacrogol and absolute ethanol.

RESULTSAll signs associated with the lesions including eating, sleep and speech disorders disappeared after treatment. Complete or near complete resolution was achieved in 9 cases, and a significant reduction in size in a further 6 cases after surgical excision and peri-operative sclerotherapy.

CONCLUSIONSFor massive venous malformations of the tongue, surgical excision combined with multiple sessions of sclerotherapy is a good treatment option.

Objective To analyze recent 30 years’ regularities in point selection for acupuncture treatment of Parkinson disease and provide reference for its treatment. Methods Parkinson disease, parkinsonism and acupuncture were used as key words. Recent 30 years’ Chinese literature was searched using Wanfang, CNKI, VIP and Chinese biomedical literature database. Selection of main acupoints and scalp acupuncture points, syndrome differentiation-based point selection and meridian tropism of main acupoints were metrologically studied. Results The Du meridian, the large intestine meridian and the gallbladder meridian were mainly selected for acupuncture treatment of Parkinson disease. Taichong(LR3), Baihui(GV20), Hegu(LI4) and Fengchi(GB20) were used as main points. Chorea-tremor control area, motor area and parietotemporal anterior oblique line were often selected as main scalp acupuncture points. Fenglong (ST40), Qihai(CV6), Sanyinjiao(SP6), Yinlingquan(SP9) and Zusanli(ST36) were often used according to syndrome differentiation-based point selection. Conclusion Modern acupuncture doctors select Taichong(LR3), Baihui(GV20), Hegu(LI4) and Fengchi(GB20) as main points, often use scalp acupuncture points and combine points mainly from the Du meridian according to syndrome differentiation in the treatment of Parkinson disease.

Purpose To investigate the effect of resveratrol on acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice.Methods Acute lung injury (ALI) was induced by LPS in mice. The changes of lung airway inspiratory resistance (Ri), expiratory resistance (Re), and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) were observed with pulmonary function test apparatus. Brochoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected, and the concentrations of interleukin 1β (IL-1β)、interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factory α (TNF-α) were measured by ELISA. The ratio of wet to dry weight was calculated to assess lung edema. Pulmonary vascular permeability was examined with injection Evans blue to judge the destructive extent of alveolar epithelial cell and endothelial. Pathological section was made, and the histopathological change was observed with light microscope.Results Resveratrol can inhibit the elevation of Ri and Re, and the descent of Cdyn. Simultaneously, resveratrol reduced the concentration of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α,as well as the wet to dry weight ratio and the pulmonary vascular permeability significantly. Furthermore, it also could attenuate the lung injury on histopathology.Conclusion The results show that pretreatment with resveratrol has a protective effect on ALI induced by LPS. The ultimate inhibiting and release of inflammatory factors were involved in the mechanism of the effects.

Objective To explore the clinical value of laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy in repeat surgery for hepatolithiasis. Methods The clinical data on 86 patients who had undergone repeat surgery for hepatolithiasis during January 2010 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. 36 patients received laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy(laparoscopy group),while 50 patients received laparotomy(laparotomy group). Surgical duration,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative transfusion,stone clearance rates,length of postopera-tive hospital stay,and rate of complications were observed and analyzed. Results There were no significant differ-ences in surgical duration,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative transfusion,stone clearance rates,and rate of complications between the two groups(P>0.05). Length of postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the laparoscopy group than in the laparotomy group(P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in recurrence rates of stone and cholangitis within the follow-up period(P>0.05). Conclusions Use of laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy in repeat surgery for hepatolithiasis is safe and feasible and has a satisfactory efficacy.

Objective: To investigate the anti-tumor effect of Glycyrrhiza flavonoids(GF) and its immunological mechanism.Methods: Mice bearing sarcoma 180(S180) were randomized into 3 GF-treated groups and one control group.The mice in GF-treated groups were perfused with GF.Leukocyte and lymphocyte count were taken by the blood cell analyzer.Flow cytometry was performed to detect the percentages of the T cell subsets.Results: Treatment of GF resulted in the tumor inhibition rates of 52.3%(high dose group).Blood total leukocyte and lymphocyte count in GF treated groups were all higher than that in the control group,and there was the most significant increase of the number of immune cells in the high dose GF group(P

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of percutaneous transhepaticcholangioscopic lithotomy (PTCSL)combined with rigid cholangioscopy in treatment of recurrent hepatolithiasis. Methods Retrospective analysisof therapeutic result of 54 patientswith postoperative recurrent hepatolithiasisduring January 2012 to January 2015. Twenty eight cases were recruited as the observation group (PTCSL group). Twenty six cases were recruited as the control group (Laparotomy group). Following parameters were observed, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, clearance of stones and postoperative hospital stay. Results The operation time, intraoperative blood loss , clearanceof stones , and the postoperative hospital stay of the PTCSL group werebetter than that of the laparotomy group (P<0.05). The number of patients with postoperative pain of the PTCSL group was significantly lower than in the laparotomygroup (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in other complication rates. There was no difference in terms of stone recurrence , incidence of cholangitis and intrahepatic biliary strictures recurrence ratebetween two groups in follow-up period. Conclusions PTCSL combined with rigid choledochoscopywas a safe and effectivemethod with minimal invasion formanagement of the postoperative recurrent hepatolithiasis. It could got a better resultsin the short-term outcomes.

Objective To explore the effect of LPLD (laparoscopic peritoneal lavage and drainage ) on SAP (severe acute pancreatitis), and to compare its effect with that of non- LPLD (conservative medical management). Methods We collected data from 87 consecutive patients with SAP, from January 2009 to May 2014, including LPLD group (n = 46) and non-LPLD group (n = 41). LPLD was performed in the 1st and 2nd week after the disease onset in LPDP group and other treatment in LPDP group was the same as that in non-LPLD group. Data were comparatively analyzed in two groups about the length of hospital stay, ICU stay, cure rate, incidence of complications and in-hospital mortality. Results In LPLD group, hospital stay, and ICU stay were shorter while cure rate was higher than those in non-LPLD group , and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In terms of the incidence of complications in two groups, only the incidence of sepsis indicated statistical significance (P < 0.05) and in-hospital mortality did not differ significantly between two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Compared with non-LPLD, LPLD is effective in short outcome, which is a promising treatment for SAP.

Objective To investigate the expression of serum miR-140-3p in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and its correlation with interleukin-4 ( IL-4),interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleu-kin-17A (IL-17A),and provide evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of ASD. Methods Totally 172 ca-ses of ASD children admitted to Anning Hospital of Hainan Province from January 2015 to June 2018 were selected as case group,80 cases of healthy subjects as control group. ASD children were divided into mild-moderate group (n=116) and severe group (n=56) by ASD Behavior Rating Scale and Child Autism Rating Scale. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay ( ELISA) were used to detect the changes of serum levels of miR-140-3p,IL-4,IL-8 and IL-17A in each group. ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of miR-140-3p,IL-4,IL-8 and IL-17A for ASD. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between serum miR-140-3p and IL-4,IL-8 and IL-17A in children with ASD. Results The serum levels of miR-140-3p ( 0. 86 ± 0. 17 vs 0. 15±0. 03),IL-4(48. 65±13. 82)pg/ml vs (31. 42±7. 50)pg/ml),IL-8((7. 14±2. 05) pg/ml vs (2. 30± 0. 74)pg/ml) and IL-17A((112. 35±51. 64)pg/ml vs (58. 20±26. 40)pg/ml) in the case group were sig-nificantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0. 05). Serum levels of miR-140-3p( 1. 08 ± 0. 24 vs 0. 71±0. 12),IL-4((53. 28±16. 30)pg/ml vs (43. 70±13. 52)pg/ml),IL-8((9. 42±2. 85)pg/ml vs (5. 63 ±1. 48)pg/ml) and IL-17A((138. 40±65. 72)pg/ml vs (96. 74±40. 83) pg/ml) in severe group were sig-nificantly higher than those in mild-moderate group(P<0. 05). The AUC (95%CI) of serum miR-140-3p for ASD diagnosis was 0. 827 (0. 773-0. 886),which were significantly higher than that of IL-4 (0. 719 (0. 651-0. 764)pg/ml),IL-8 (0. 683 (0. 625-0. 743)pg/ml) and IL-17A(0. 745 (0. 683-0. 817)pg/ml). The best cut-off value was 0. 75,and the sensitivity and specificity were 84. 8% and 78. 2%,respectively. The best cut-off value of serum miR-140-3p for diagnosing ASD was 0. 75, and its sensitivity and specificity were 84. 8% and 78. 2%,respectively. The correlation analysis showed that serum miR-140-3p was positively cor-related with IL-4,IL-8 and IL-17A in children with ASD (r=0. 681,r=0. 624,r=0. 775,all P<0. 01). Con-clusion Serum levels of miR-140-3p was significantly higher in ASD children, correlated with levels of IL-4,IL-8 and IL-17A,and miR-140-3p was a potential biomarkers for ASD diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the effects of remimazolam besylate and midazolam on postoperative cognitive function of patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia.Methods:From May 2019 to January 2021, 120 patients with gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia in Haikou Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected and divided into control group (60 cases) and observation group (60 cases) by random number table. The control group was given 0.05 mg/kg midazolam and 0.50 μg/kg sufentanil and 0.15 mg/kg vecuronium bromide were used for anesthesia induction. Patients in the observation group were given 0.3 mg/kg remimazolam besylate and 0.50 μg /kg sufentanil and 0.15 mg/kg vecuronium were used for anesthesia induction. The levels of hemodynamic indexes before anesthesia (T 0), during anesthesia (T 1), and after intubation (T 2) as well as the levels of postoperative anesthesia recovery indexes were compared between the two groups. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores were recorded and compared before surgery, 24 h, 72 h after surgery. The total incidence of adverse reactions after surgery was recorded and compared between the two groups. Results:The heart rate (HR) at T 1 and T 2 in the two groups was higher than that at T 0, the oxygen saturation (SpO 2) at T 1 and T 2 was lower than that at T 0, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) at T 1 was lower than that at T 0, and the MAP at T 2 was higher than that at T 0, with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05); The HR and MAP at T 1 and T 2 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and SpO 2 was higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05); The recovery time of spontaneous respiration, eye opening time and extubation time in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (all P<0.05); The MMSE score at 24 h and 72 h after operation was lower than that before operation, and the VAS score at 24 h was higher than that before operation in both groups (all P<0.05); The MMSE scores in the observation group at 24 h and 72 h after operation were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the VAS scores at 24 h and 72 h after operation between the two groups ( P>0.05); There was no significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Remimazolam besylate has little effect on cognitive function of patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia, with fast recovery and high safety, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

[Objective]To evaluate the clinical outcomes of combining electroacupuncture with rectal function training for treating post-stroke constipation(PSC).[Methods]A total of sixty patients of PSC were enrolled in the study at the Rehabilitation Department of Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from December 2021 to March 2023.They were randomly assigned using a random number table method to enter the treatment group(29 cases,with 1 case dropped out)or the control group(29 cases,with 1 case dropped out).The control group received comprehensive and individualized rectal function training,and the treatment group received electroacupuncture therapy on the basis of the control group,all of which were treated for 4 weeks.The study involved assessing the Cleveland Clinic Score(CCS),pelvic floor surface electromyography,and therapeutic outcomes before and after treatment.[Results]No statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups prior to treatment(P>0.05).Following 4 weeks of treatment,both groups experienced a significant decrease in CCS scores(P<0.001),with the treatment group displaying a lower CCS score compared with the control group(P<0.01).After treatment,the electromyographic values significantly increased in both groups during the rapid contraction,tension contraction,and endurance contraction stages(P<0.001),and the electromyographic values of the above stages in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The total effective rate of the treatment group(93.10%)was higher than that of the control group(72.41%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).[Conclusion]Electroacupuncture combined with rectal function training in the treatment of PSC can improve the defecation frequency and accompanying symptoms of patients,improve the muscle strength of pelvic floor fast and slow muscles and the endurance of slow muscles,and improve the therapeutic effect.
