BACKGROUND: People have concerned with the effect of fibroblast growth factor biological protein sponge on the repairing effect of traumatic ulcer.OBJECTIVE: To observe the repairing effect of fibroblast growth factor biological protein sponge on the repairing effect of traumatic ulcer and its possible adverse reactionDESIGN: Grouping comparison observation.SETTING: Staff Room of Physiology, Medical College of Jinan University PARTICIPANTS: Totally 40 cases of traumatic ulcer accepted the treatment in the First Hospital of Jinan Univerity between March 2004 and May 2005 were recruited. Patients with diabetes mellitus and infection on the whole body were excluded. Traumatic ulcer lay in the shank. Patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 20 in each group.INTERVENTIONS: In the experimental group (n=20), sterilized fibroblast growth factor biological protein sponge was used and in the control group (n=20), sterilized petrolatum gauze dressing was used on the wound.Change the gauze dressing once per day until the wound healed. Drugs,which affected wound growth, were not used on the whole body and at the local part. Wound healing status was evaluated 1, 2 and 3 weeks after changing the drugs (The secretion of a wound was divided into: nothing, a little, middling, a great deal. frontier reaction of wound was divided into:nothing, slight, middling, severe.). Pigment deposition and scar was recorded after wound healing.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Healing time of ulcer, healing course of the wound and adverse reaction of the patients in the two groupsRESULTS: Totally 40 patients of the two groups entered result analysis.Wound healing status after treatment of the patients in the two groups: The rate of wound healing in 3 weeks in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group [95% (19/20),55% (11/20),χ2=8.533,P < 0.05]. Wound secretion and peripheral inflammatory reaction of the wound in the experimental group was obviously milder than that of the control group; there was no obvious adverse reaction and scar of the wound found in the two groups.CONCLUSION:FGF biological protein sponge can promote the healing of traumatic ulcer; shorten the healing time without scar and adverse reaction.This dressing is convenient, safe, and non-irritative.

This article systematically reviewed the clinical research of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) combined with Vacuum Sealing Drainage (VSD) in the treatment of refractory wounds. The results showed that TCM combined with VSD for refractory wounds was characterized by abundent treatment and effectiveness. Treatments such as oral administration of TCM decoction, injection and lavage administration of TCM decoction, and external application of TCM ointment can reduce the level of inflammation in the wound, improve local microcirculation, promote granulation tissue growth and wound healing, and improve clinical efficacy. This paper summarized the clinical researches on the treatment of refractory wounds by TCM and VSD, and provide a useful reference for clinical treatment of refractory wounds.

Objective:To explore the polymorphism of the uridine diphosphateglucuronosyl transferase 1A1 ( UGT1A1) gene in children of multiple nationalities with etiology-unknown neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in Qiubei County. Methods:Full-term neonates with unknown cause hyperbilirubinemia were collected.They were admitted to neonatal ward of Qiubei People′s Hospital from September 2017 to June 2018.All of them were performed UGT1A1 gene test. Results:A total of 100 neonates were enrolled in this study.Among them, 53 infants were Han, and others were minorities.Ten mutation sites of UGT1A1 gene were found.Five sites were never reported before and 4 sites could be pathogenic mutations.In addition, c.211G>A.was the most common genetic mutation, and 13 cases of homozygote and 32 cases of heterozygote were revealed by exome sequencing.The bilirubin levels of children with homozygote c. 211G>A were higher than those without the variation in this study and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.621, P=0.008). The incidence of c. 211G>A mutation was similar between Han and minority nationalities.Among new-found mutations, c.1091C>CA heterozygous mutation was found in 19 children and in several nationalities, suggesting that this was a common UGT1A1 gene mutation in Qiubei County.Besides c. 211G>A and c. 1091C>CA were the most common variants.The incidence of c. 211G>A had no significant difference between Han and minority nationalities (χ 2=0.215, P=0.643). Neither had the incidence difference of c. 1091C>CA between Han and minority nationalities (χ 2=0.017, P=0.897). Conclusion:c. 211G>A and c. 1091C>CA mutations , which are distributed in both Han and minority nationalities, are common UGT1A1 mutations in Qiubei County.The distribution rate of c. 211G>A mutation is high in the population.The homozygous variation of c. 211G>A is associated with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

Objective:To study the risk factors of hypotension after ligation of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in very/extremely low birth weight infants (VLBWI/ELBWI).Method:From March 2016 to January 2021, preterm infants with birth weight <1 500 g receiving bedside PDA ligation in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of our hospital were enrolled in the study. According to the occurrence of hypotension within 72 hours after ligation, the infants were assigned into non-hypotension group and hypotension group. The general status and perioperative conditions of the two groups were analyzed. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of hypotension.Result:A total of 44 cases were enrolled, including 33 in non-hypotension group and 11 in hypotension group. Univariate analysis showed that hypotension group had significantly more cases with body weight <1 100 g during surgery and receiving preoperative high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) than non-hypotension group ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that weight <1 100 g during surgery ( OR=12.045, 95% CI 1.351~107.394, P=0.026) and receiving preoperative HFOV ( OR=27.832, 95% CI 1.363~568.292, P=0.031)were independent risk factors of hypotension. Conclusion:Hypotension is one of the common complications of PDA ligation in VLBWI/ELBWI. The infant's body weight during ligation and receiving preoperative HFOV are independent risk factors of hypotension.

Objective:
To investigate the role of CD11b agonist leukadherin-1 (LA1) in the development of intestinal inflammation and colitis disease in a mouse model of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis.
Methods:
The mouse model of experimental colitis was induced by DSS. Body weight changes and survival status were monitored every day. The length of colons was measured at day 7. Colon tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and observed under an optical microscope for pathological analysis. The percentages of apoptotic cells in colon tissues were observed by TUNEL staining. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was measured with MPO activity detection kit. IL-1β and TNF-α levels were detected by ELISA. Macrophages and TNF-α in colon tissues were observed using immunofluorescence staining and confocal microscopy. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the changes in TLR4 expression on macrophages after stimulating mice with LA1 for 0, 3, 6 and 12 h. Moreover, TLR4 expression was also measured by Western blot after treating bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) with LA1 for 0, 3, 6 and 12 h. Unpaired t-test was used for statistical analysis.
Results:
Compared with the DSS group, the LA1+ DSS group presented lower mortality rate, greater body weight and longer colon and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant. Moreover, the LA1+ DSS group showed lighter pathological damages, decreased percentage of apoptotic cells and suppressed MPO activity as compared with those of the DSS group. The number of macrophages and the relative concentrations of IL-1β and TNF-α in colon tissues were lower in the LA1+ DSS group than in the DSS group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant. There was no significant difference in the total expression of TLR4 on macrophages before and after LA1 treatment. However, the mean flourscence indensity (MFI) of TLR4 was weaker on the LA1-treated macrophages than on the untreated macrophages.
Conclusions
LA1 could alleviate the DSS-induced experimental colitis in mice through suppressing the activation of TLR4 pathway on macrophages. This study provided a new insight and theoretical reference for understanding the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases.
