Sepsis is defined as an organ dysfunction caused by systemic inflammatory response induced by infection,and may eventually developed into multiple organ failure (MOF).The onset of sepsis often involves the activation of inflammatory cells,over expression of inflammatory cytokines,immune dysfunction,damage of tissue and organ,excessive apoptosis of cell.Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a wide range of biological activities,including anti-inflammatory,antibacterial,immune regulation,regeneration and repair of tissue and organ,anti-apoptosis,etc.In recent years,a large number of preclinical studies had demonstrated that MSCs has good actions on sepsis.The purpose of this review is to describe the mechanism of MSCs in the treatment of sepsis,and to point out the possible clinical challenges.

Objective To introduce the method of two bundle anatomical reconstruction of the posterolateral corner(PLC) of the knee using auto-harmstring,and to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes.Methods Using auto-harmstring,23 knees of 21 cases with acute or chronic posterolateral complex injuries were anatomically reconstructed from March 2003 to November 2005.There were 20 male and 1 female patients(mean age:32.3 years,ranging from 17 to 47 years)in this study with follow-up of at least 12 months(average:26.7 months,ranging from 12 to 31 months.Tow cases had isolated PLC injuries,21 knees had multiligamentous injuries,and 5 cases associated with meniscus injuries.The technique used includes:(1)an autogenous semitendinosus placed through trastibial bone tunnel from posterior to anterior and then turned to transfibulur bone tunnel to reconstruct the popliteus and popliteofibular ligament;(2)an autogenous gracilis tendon placed through transfibulur bone tunnel to reconstruct the fibulocolateral ligament(FCL).The transplanted grafts were secured to the femoral insertion of the popliteus and FCL respectively with metal or bioabsorbable interference screw.All patients were followed-up prospectively with clinical examinations and Lysholm knee scores.Results There was no varus knee instability in full extension,and one-grade varus instability with firm endpoint was found in 2 cases at 30? flexion.There was no increased external rotation in all of the 23 knees at 30? flexions(in prone position).Mean Lysholm knee scores were 89.2(range from 88 to 100).Conclusions Two bundle anatomical reconstruction of the PLC of the knee using auto-harmstring yields a stable knee with excellent function,mini-trauma,and reliable fixation of grafts,this technique is an ideal method for the treatment of PLC injuries.

Objective To describe an alternative procedure of arthroscopic double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)reconstruction using deep-frozen fresh allogenic achilles tendon and evaluate the follow-up outcome in early stage. Methods The ruptured PCL was reconstructed under arthroscopy using deep frozen fresh allogenic achilles tendon preparing in Y-shaped allografts, one bundle was used for anterolateral bundle, the other for posteromedial bundle. Absorbable screw was used to fix the soft tendon graft and metal screw was used to fix the bone graft. Results From March 2003 to August 2004, the procedure of arthroscopic double-bundle PCL reconstruction using allogenic achilles tendon was applied in 10 cases. The average follow-up period was 13.2 months(6～24 months, among them 6 cases were more than 12 months ). 2 cases with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury were also reconstructed with hamstring tendons (semitendinosus and gracilis). 3 cases with rupture of postolateral horn of knee joint were anatomically reconstructed with hamstring tendons. Clinical results were carefully compared using the Lysholm score system before and after the operation, the average score was 50.3 preoperatively, and 91.2 postoperatively. The objective examination showed that the tibia post-migrating sign, posterior drawer test and Lachman test were positive in all the 10 cases preoperatively; whereas the posterior drawer test and Lachman test were negative postoperatively; the tibia post-migrating sign were weak positive in 3 cases with longer clinical histories(more than 1 year); the flexion range of the knee were slightly restricted (5?～20?) in the 2 cases with simultaneous ACL injury. Conclusions Allogenic achilles tendon is an ideal material for arthroscopic double-bundle PCL reconstruction. Arthroscopic double-bundle reconstructed PCL is in accordance with the anatomy and physiology of natural PCL. The injury and complications caused by the autograft can be alleviated. The allograft can be prepared in advance and the soft end of the implant can pass through the bone tunnel easily, and thus the operaton time under arthroscopy can be saved and the trauma caused by arthroscopy is abated. Arthroscopic double-bundle PCL reconstruction is sample, safe and effective.

Objective To study the asymmetric dimethylarginine(ADMA) concentrations in plasma of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and its various subgroups ,and analyze the relationship between ADMA and traditional risk factors of ACS .Methods 101 ACS patients were enrolled in the study ,which were divided into several subgroups according to clinical diagnosis ,ECG and coro‐nary angiography .ACS group were divided into unstable angina(UA) group(n=70) and acute myocardial infarction(AMI) group (n=31) ,then AMI group was divided into non‐ST segment elevation myocardial infarction(NSTEMI) group(n=19) and ST seg‐ment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) group(n=12) .The control group(n= 40) were recruited in the study during the same period ,who showed normal coronary arteries in coronary angiography .All the patients received coronary attery angiography . The plasma ADMA concentration was measured by using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) ,and serum contents of lip‐id(TC ,TG ,HDL‐C ,LDL‐C) ,C‐reactive protein(CRP) ,troponin were detected by automatic biochemic analysis apparatus .Results Compared with the control group ,plasma ADMA concentration of ACS group increased ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .The concentrations of ADMA in AMI group and UA group were higher than those in control group ,and the difference was statistically significant(P< 0 .05) .The concentrations of ADMA in AMI group were significantly higher than those in UA group(P<0 .05) .Plasma ADMA negatively correlated with HDL‐C concentrations(r= -0 .222 ,P<0 .05) ,positively correlated with LDL‐C concentration(r=0 .357 ,P<0 .05) ,and positively correlated with CRP(r=0 .619 ,P<0 .05) .Conclusion The occur‐rence of ACS and some of its related risk factors are correlated with plasma ADMA concentration .

Objective To explore the feasibility and validity of Satir model on compulsory drug rehabilitation for female drug users in closed settings. Methods Satir Model-based group psychotherapy was adopted in the treatment on 33 female drug users. Results The findings are that the pre-treatment SCL-90 scores were all higher than norm,indicating very high significant differences(P＜0.01) ; while the post-treatment SCL-90 scores,except the score of somatization, were approximate to norm, showing no statistical differences(P ＞0. 05). Conclusion Satir model played a positive role in the process of female drug users mental health recovery.

Gene-environment interactions underlie cancer susceptibility and progression. The human body is exposed to and affected by the microenvironment seiscasts of various microorganisms and their metabolites, such as the microenvironment of gut microbiota. The relative abundance of some intestinal microbes in lung cancer patients was significantly different from that in the control group. These studies suggest that gut microbiota may be associated with lung cancer through some ways. At the same time, gut microbiota is relatively manageable environmental variables compared to the external environment we are exposed to, as they are highly quantifiable and relatively stable in the individual. Just as some measures of diagnosis, intervention and treatment of lung cancer targeting gut microbiota have achieved some results in clinical practice. In this review, we mainly discuss the role of gut microbiota and its metabolites in the progression and treatment of lung cancer through certain ways, such as regulation of metabolism, inflammation, and immune response. Finally, based on current research progress, it is inferred that research on gut microbiota may be an effective approach to the precise and personalized medical treatment of lung cancer.
