Objective:To preliminarily evaluate the effect of tension stimulation on the biological activity of and expression of fibrosis marker genes in keloid fibroblasts (KD-Fbs) .Methods:Three patients who were diagnosed with keloids and received surgical treatment were collected from the Department of Dermatology, Tangdu Hospital, the Fourth Military Medical University from January to March 2017. Human KD-Fbs were isolated from resected keloid tissues, and subjected to primary culture. The third- to sixth-passage KD-Fbs were divided into tension group and control group to be cultured in the tension-based chamber and control chamber respectively, and subjected to tension stimulation and normal culture respectively. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay was performed to assess the proliferative activity of KD-Fbs after 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-day culture, and the scratch assay to evaluate the migratory ability of KD-Fbs after 1- and 2-day culture. After 48-hour treatment, real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot analysis were performed to determine the mRNA and protein expression of fibrosis markers type Ⅰ collagen, fibronectin and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in KD-Fbs respectively. Two-independent-sample t test was used for comparisons between 2 groups. Results:CCK8 assay showed that the proliferative activity of KD-Fbs was significantly higher in the tension group than in the control group after 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-day culture ( t=3.05, 7.00, 16.65, 15.19, respectively, all P< 0.05) . After 1- and 2-day culture, the scratch assay showed that the migration rate of KD-Fbs was significantly higher in the tension group (48.65%±3.96%, 100.00%, respectively) than in the control group (9.36%±1.14%, 50.35%±4.23%, t=16.53, 20.35, respectively, both P< 0.01) . Real-time quantitative PCR showed that the mRNA expression of type Ⅰ collagen, fibronectin and α-SMA was significantly higher in the tension group (3.04±0.20, 2.16±0.10, 3.76±0.24, respectively) than in the control group (1.00; t=17.57, 21.01, 20.25, respectively, all P< 0.01) . As Western blot analysis revealed, changes in the protein expression of the 3 fibrosis markers were consistent with their mRNA expression changes (all P< 0.05) . Conclusion:Tension may participate in the fibrosis in keloids by promoting the expression of fibrosis marker genes, and enhancing the proliferative and migratory ability of KD-Fbs.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility,safety and clinical value of CT-guided localization with a Hook-wire system for nodular pulmonary lesions before video-assisted thoracoscopic resection (VATS). Methods The records of all patients undergoing VATS resection for solitary pulmonary nodules preoperatively localized by CT-guided a Hook-wire system were assessed with respect to failure to localize the lesion by the Hook-wire system, conversion thoracotomy rate, duration of operation, postoperative complications, and histology of nodular pulmonary lesions. Results Sixty-eight patients with seventy four nodules underwent VATS resections. Preoperative CT-guided Hook-wire localization succeeded in all patients ( 100. 0% ). Conversion thoracotomy was necessary in 2 patients. The average operative time was ( 15 ±6)min. Asymptomatic complication rate was 70.6% (48/68), asymptomatic pneumothorax rate, asymptomatic hemorrhage rate and simultaneous pneumothorax and bleeding rate were 45.6% (31/68),25.0% ( 17/68 ) and 4. 4% ( 3/68 ), respectively. The mean hospitalization was ( 15 ± 6 ) days.Histological assessment revealed primary lung cancer (NSCLC) in 30, metastasis in 18, and nonmalignant disease in 26 nodules. Conclusions Video-assisted thoracoscopic resection of nodular pulmonary lesions previously localized by a CT-guided Hook-wire system is related to a low conversion thoracotomy rate, short operation time, and high safety. It for differential diagnosis and treatment.
