1.Application and development of uniportal VATS in the treatment of lung cancer
International Journal of Surgery 2016;43(5):357-360
Micro-invasive thoracic surgery has become new trends of thoracic surgery,and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS),which has the advantage of less trauma,rapid recovery and fewer postoperative complications,has become the mainstream of lung cancer resection.With the development of technology and surgical instruments,VATS has taken the place of open procedure,and the postoperatively follow-up also showed that both the two procedures have similar results in long-term survival rate and so on.With years of rapid develop,now the traditional VATS has nearly been perfect,the thoracic doctors eagerly try to find a new kind of micro-invasive surgery.It is in this background that Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery is born and it has been received by more and more operators.Uniportal VATS is not only inferior than multiportal VATS in Postoperative survival,but also has the advantage in reliving post thoracotomy chest pain as it only has one incision.In this paper,the author would like to summarize up the newest development of uniportal VATS in recently years.

Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 1986;0(02):-
Objective To observe the protection of Caspase inhibitor(zVAD-fmk,benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethyl ketone) on neonatal rat with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD).Methods Thirty-six neonatal rats,7 days old,were randomly divided into hypoxic-ischemic(HI) control group(A),zVAD-fmk treated group(B) and sham group(C).Before HI insult,a pan-Caspase inhibitor,zVAD-fmk or normal buffer solution was injected into the cerebral ventricle.The water content of cerebral hemisphere was measured and the percentage of apoptofic cells in hippocampal neurons was measured by Flow cytometer(Annexin V/PI) at 24 hours after HI insult.The effect on body weights(percentage of increased weight,WIP) and macroscopical changes(percentage of cortox and hippocampal dead neurons) were assessed at 14 days.Results Compared with group A,the water content of ischemic hemisphere and apoptosis percentage of hippocampal neurons in group B reduced significantly.The difference of percentage of increased weight at 14 days in group B was not significantly.Microscopic examination showed that cortox and hippocampus neural death rate in group B was proved significantly reduced compared with that in group A.Conclusion Intracerebral administration of zVAD-fmk has protective effects on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in neonatal rat.
4.Opinions about diagnosis and treatment of multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
China Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology 2016;29(6):561-565
There should be confusion about diagnosis and treatment for multiple segments cervical myelopathy in some respects. The author reviewed the literature and combined with clinical experience, proposed a new classification for cervical myelopathy according to responsibility segment areas, which dividing into single segment,double segments (continues or jumping type), multi-segment (≥ three segments). The responsible segments determination is the premise of diagnosis and also a key to determine surgical decompression segment. Decompression only according to imaging was not desirable, surgical segment should mainly relies on clinical, imaging, electrophysiological and comprehensive analysis to avoid surgery range expansion. Surgical approach and procedures are still the focus and hotspot of cervical myelopathy treatment, and no treatment standards and corresponding guidelines to consult. The author proposes that surgical approach should advocate the individual, and surgical procedure should follow simple instead of complicate, anterior and posterior combined decompression is not necessary in most cases, and anterior and posterior fixation are not need.

Objective To investigate the range of normal values of tympanometry of guinea pigs and the possible differences associated with genders and ears. Methods Included in this study were 40 guinea pigs with nor-mal hearing and no ear diseases. Under the anesthetized condition, each guinea pig's tympanogram was recorded, and their values were studied associated with different genders and ears. Results The tympanograms thus obtained were all type A. For all the tympanograms of 80 ears, the equivalent canal volume was about 0.09±0. 02 ml, the static compliance was 0.10 ±0.03 ml, the gradient was 0.14 ±0.06 ml, and the pressure of the peak admittance was -99.44±75.06 daPa . The findings of different gender groups yielded statistic differences in the values of e-quivalent canal volume (P=0. 012) but not in static compliance, gradient and peak admittance pressure (P>0. 05). Typical tympanograms were recorded for the both ears in 40 guinea pigs at the same time. There were no binaural differences (P>0.05). Conclusion The results show significant differences in the equivalent canal volumes be-tween male and female guinea pigs. These tympanograms may serve as a guide to detect middle ear dysfunctions in guinea pigs.

Progestagen-associated endometrial protein (PAEP) gene mainly expresses in the secretory phase endometrium and decidua in early trimester of pregnancy.In recent years,it is reported that PAEP is abnormally expressed in many kinds of tumors,such as breast cancer,endometrial carcinoma,ovary cancer,stomach cancer and melanoma.PAEP gene plays an important role in tumorigenesis and tumor development.The application of PAEP gene as an indicator for clinical diagnosis,prognostic and therapy needs further studies on the influence of PAEP gene on tumor biological behaviour.

Aim To observe the effects of activation of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 ( ALDH2 ) by ethanol on testis injury of type 2 diabetic rats. Methods Type 2 diabetic rats model were established by high-fat diet combined with low-dose streptozotocin ( STZ ) injec-tions. After the success of modeling, the rats were ran-domly divided into 3 groups ( n =6 ): normal control group (NC), type 2 diabetes group (T2DM) and eth-anol+type 2 diabetes group (EtOH+T2DM). Rats of EtOH + T2DM were treated with low-dose ethanol, then rats of NC and T2 DM were given normal diet for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, the levels of the fasting blood glucose ( FBG ) , glycosylated hemoglobin ( HbA1 c ) and testosterone were tested, and the ratio of testis weight to body weight ( TW/BW ) was calculated. Morphological changes of testis tissue were observed by optical microscope. The levels of ALDH2 mRNA and transforming growth factorβ1 ( TGF-β1 ) mRNA in tes-tis tissue were measured. The expression of TGF-β1 in testis tissue was observed by immunohistochemical stai-ning, then the positive rate of TGF-β1 was calculated. Results Compared with NC, the levels of FBG, HbA1 c and TW/BW increased significantly and the level of testosterone decreased significantly in T2DM. The morphological observation showed that some semi-niferous tubules atrophied, spermatogenic cells de-creased and arrangemented loosely, Leydig cells de-creased in testicular interstitial. The level of ALDH2 mRNA in testis tissue decreased significantly, and the level of TGF-β1 mRNA and the positive rate of TGF-β1 in testis tissue increased significantly. However, compared with T2DM, the levels of FBG, HbA1c and TW/BW decreased, and the level of testosterone in-creased and the damage of testis tissue was attenuated in EtOH+T2DM. The level of ALDH2 mRNA in testis tissue increased significantly, and the level TGF-β1 mRNA and the positive rate of TGF-β1 in testis tissue decreased significantly. Conclusion Activating AL-DH2 can protect testis in type 2 diabetic rats, which may be related to the downregulation of TGF-β1 ex-pression.
