OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Fuzheng Yiliu Granule (FZYLG)-medicated serum on apoptosis of liver cancer cells H22 from mice and its mechanism. METHODS: Liver cancer cells H22 from mice were incubated in culture media containing sera from rabbits medicated with different doses of FZYLG. Flow cytometry was used to examine the cell cycle and analyze the apoptotic rate of the H22 cells. The morphological changes of the H22 cells were observed by transmission electron microscope and the apoptosis related proteins Bcl-2 and Bax were examined by streptavidin-biotin peroxidase complex (SABC) method. RESULTS: FZYLG-medicated serum could influence the cell cycle and stop the proliferation of H22 cells at the G(1)/G(0) phase with apoptotic peak being detected. In culture media with FZYLG-medicated sera, the expression of Bcl-2 decreased while that of Bax increased as compared with that in culture medium with non-medicated serum (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: FZYLG-medicated serum can induce apoptosis of the liver cancer cells H22 by influencing the cell cycle, down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulating the expression of Bax.

Objective To assess the functional restoration in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) who underwent hip resurfacing arthroplasty and to determine whether greater abduction angle of the acetabular component is relat?ed to larger diameter of femoral head component. Methods We reviewed 34 DDH cases (9 hips of 8 males and 25 hips of 24 fe?males, mean age 44.6±11.85 years at the time of surgery) on whom we performed hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) from October 2006 to September 2009. The total hip Arthroplasty (THA) group was consisted of 35 DDH cases (8 hips of 8 males and 27 hips of 25 females, mean age 43.7±10.4 years at the time of surgery). All operations were performed by the same doctor over the same peri?od. Assessment of the functional hip scores was conducted by Harris Hip Scores. A radiographic study was also performed to evalu?ate the implants stability and abduction angle of the acetabular components. All the data was analyzed with Kolmogorov?Smirnov method. Results The mean follow?up was 6.2 years in the HRA group. The Harris Hip Score improved from 54.9±13.2 to 97.3± 6.2 after the surgery. The mean abduction angle of the acetabular component was 51.6° ± 5.33°, hip flexion was 127° ± 6.9° and mean diameter of femoral head was 46.5±1.5 mm. The mean follow?up was 5.9 years in the THA group. The Harris Hip Score im?proved from 51.6±19.7 to 95.6±7.9 after the surgery. The mean abduction angle of the acetabular component was 43.9°±4.90°, hip flexion was 117°±4.2°. There was no failure of the prosthesis, peri?prosthetic fracture and infection in either group. There was sig?nificant difference in the abduction angle of the acetabular component (P<0.05) and flexion of the hip between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients in the HRA group had a better functional restoration and larger range of motion. Furthermore, a larger diameter of femoral head component could be achieved by placing the acetabular component in a greater abduction angle, which may contribute to a better long?term stability.

Objective To explore the value of plasma Tau protein and resistin in early prediction of brain injury in premature infants caused by intrauterine infection. Method A total of 47 premature infants in NICU with early-onset sepsis were selected as infection group from January 2017 to October. According to the cranial MRI, the infection group was further divided into brain injury group (22 cases) and non-brain injury group (25 cases). In addition, 12 normal preterm infants were selected as the control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect plasma Tau protein and resistin levels on the first, third and seventh day after birth in three groups. Results The Tau protein in the brain injury group increased significantly on the first day, and then gradually decreased, while it was higher than that in the non-brain injury group and the control group at all time points, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). At different time points, there was no difference in the level of Tau protein between the non-brain injury group and the control group (P>0.05). The level of resistin in the brain injury group increased significantly on the first day until the third day, and significantly decreased in the seventh day, and it was higher than that in the non-brain injury group and the control group at all time points, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Resistin increased on the first day, then gradually decreased, and returned to normal on the seventh day in the non-brain injury group. Conclusion Detection of plasma Tau protein and resistin levels within 3 days after birth may be helpful for early prediction of brain damage in premature infants with intrauterine infection.

Objective:To explore the clinical feasibility of finger-pressing therapy based on the theory of treating impotence alone with Yang Ming to reduce incidence of ICU acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in critically ill children and provide a feasible nursing plan for ICU acquired asthenia in critically ill children.Methods:A quasi-experimental study was conducted. A total of 73 critically ill children were admitted to the PICU of Kunming Children′s Hospital from January 1 to April 30, 2021. According to the random number table, the subjects were divided into the observation group (37 cases) and the control group (36 cases). Children in the control group received routine PICU nursing. The children in the observation group were treated with PICU routine nursing and finger-pressing therapy based on the theory of treating impotence alone with Yang Ming. The two groups were compared in terms of limb muscle strength score (MRC-Score), incidence of ICU-AW, basic activities of life (Barthel Index, BI), limb muscle thickness.Results:After intervention, the MRC-Score of the observation group was 50 (46, 52) points, which was higher than 46 (40, 48) points of the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( Z=-3.70, P<0.05). The incidence of ICU-AW in the observation group was 32.43% (12/37), and the incidence of ICU-AW in the control group was 72.22% (26/36). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=11.58, P<0.05). The BI score of the observation group was 63 (50, 70), which was higher than 44 (40,60) of the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( Z=-3.94, P<0.05). The reduction degree of quadriceps femoris thickness in the observation group at D3-D1 was (-0.381 ± 0.131) cm, which was lower than (-0.762 ± 0.182) cm in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=10.29, P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of finger-pressing therapy guided by theory of treating impotence alone with Yang Ming in the early rehabilitation of critically ill children can enhance muscle strength, prevent muscle atrophy and reduce the incidence of ICU-AW in critically ill children.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of the application of intraoperative psoas major intramuscular block therapy on the complications related to the approach after multi-segmental crenel lumbar interbody fusion (CLIF).Methods:All of 68 degenerative lumbar scoliosis patients who had received multi-segmental crenel lumbar interbody fusion during January 2020 and June 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether the psoas major muscle was treated with block therapy during the operation. The psoas muscle inblock group were filled with gel sponge infiltrated with a mixture of Betamethasone and lidocaine for local block therapy before closing the incision while that in the control group were not filled with gel sponge. There were 33 patients in the control group, 7 males and 26 females with an average of 65.8±7.1 years old (range: 54-81 years old); 35 cases in the block group, 9 males and 26 females with an average of 68.0±6.5 years old (range: 54-85 years old). The complications related to the approach (mainly includes pain, numbness in the front of the thigh, as well as psoas major, quadriceps muscle strength) were recorded respectively 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after surgery. The main indicators of outcome including visual analog scale (VAS) of pain, the visual analog scale (VAS) of numbness, muscle strength of psoas major and quadriceps femoris, and the incidence of complications related to the approach were compared between the two groups of patients at different time points after surgery. The clinical outcomes were assessed using the Oswestry disability index (ODI), VAS for low back pain. The radiological outcome was evaluated with Cobb angles and sagittal balance parameters (sagittal vertical axis, SVA).Results:There were no significant differences in age, gender, body mass index (BMI), number of fusion segments, operation time, and intraoperative blood loss between the two groups. The incidence of approach-related complications was 17.1% in the block group and 39.4% in the control group, with statistically significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.177, P=0.041). The incidence of postoperative pain, numbness in the front of the thighs, and muscle strength of psoas major in the block group (11.4%, 14.3%) were lower than those in the control group (33.3%, 36.4%) ( χ2=4.740, P=0.029; χ2=4.416, P=0.036). And for numbness in the front of thigh, the block group (14.3) was lower than control group (21.2%), but no significant difference was shown between two groups ( χ2=0.561, P=0.454). However, there was no quadriceps weakness in either group. The VAS scores of painof the block group were lower than those of the control group at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.220, P=0.031; t=2.235, P=0.031; t=2.086, P=0.044). The difference at 3 months was not statistically significant ( t=0.385, P=0.701). The muscle strength of psoas major of the block group, meanwhile, was higher than those of the control group on the 1day and 1 week after surgery, the difference was statistically significant as well ( t=2.208, P=0.032; t=2.171, P=0.034). The difference at 1 and 3 months was not statistically significant ( t=0.923, P=0.359; t=1.437, P=0.160). No statistically significant differences were found in VAS scores of numbness at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery. Postoperative low back pain and lumbar spine function were significantly improved in both groups, and there was no statistical significance between the two groups. Coronal Cobb angle and sagittal balance were significantly improved in both groups after surgery, and there was no statistical significance between the two groups. Conclusion:Psoas major intramuscular block therapy can reduce the incidence of early postoperative complications of multi-segmental CLIF. Furthermore, it was found to be effective to alleviate anterior thigh pain within 1 month, and improve psoas major muscle weakness within 1 week.
