Objective To observe the effect of Herba Hedyotis Diffusae(HHD) on expression of heat shock protein 70(HSP70) and P16 anti-oncogene protein in mice with H22 cell transplanted tumor. Methods The mice were immunized with hepatoma-lines-H22 cells which were treated by Chinese herbs firstly. According to the pretreatment of the Chinese herbs and whether the H22 cells being blocked by HSP70 monoclonal antibody,the mice were divided into 5 groups:HHD non-blocking group,HHD-blocking group,Radix Codonopsis(RC)-blocking group,RC non-blocking group,and RPMI-1640 control group. Then the treated H22 Cells were translated into the mice. The expression of HSP70 and P16 anti-oncogene protein in mice with transplanted H22 liver carcinoma was detected by immunohistochemical marking method. Results The expressions of HSP70 was up-regulated in HDD non-blocking group and RC non-blocking group,in particular in RC non-blocking group,and the difference was significant as compared with HHD-blocking group,RC-blocking group and control blank group.The expression of P16 anti-oncogene protein was up-regulated in the treatment groups,and the difference was significant in comparison with the control group. The effect on P16 anti-oncogene protein expression was stronger in HDD groups than that in RC groups,but the difference was insignificant between the blocking group and the non-blocking group of each herb. Conclusion The anti-tumor effect of HDD may be achieved by inducing HSP70 expression in transplanted H22 neoplasia and by enhancing the immunogenicity. The up-regulation of P16 anti-oncogene expression by HHD and RC has no direct relationship with the induction of HSP70,and the related mechanism needs further research.

Objective:To compare the optimal gridpercutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and conventional PVP in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted of 102 patients with OVCFs who had underwent PVP between May 2016 and May 2019 at department of spine surgery, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command. According to the different surgical methods, they were divided into the optimalgrid PVP group (102 cases) and conventional PVP group (94 cases). In the optimal grid PVP group, there were 38 males and 64 females with an average age of 67.3±8.5 years old, and the course of disease was 2.3±1.2 days; the injured sites were lumbar vertebra, including 59 cases of L 1 vertebra, 31 cases of L 2 vertebra, 8 cases of L 3 vertebra, 3 cases of L 4 vertebra and 1 case of L 5 vertebra. In the conventional PVP group, there were 26 males and 68 females with an average age of 71.5±5.6 years old, and the course of disease was 2.1±1.1 days; the injured sites were lumbar vertebra, including 52 cases of L 1 vertebra, 33 cases of L 2 vertebra, 7 cases of L 3 vertebra and 2 cases of L 4 vertebra. The patients were prepared before operation. Then the best puncture point was selected, and the guide wire and working channel were inserted. Finally the bone cement was pushed. The operation time, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, bone cement dosage and bone cement leakage were compared between the two groups. Visual analogue scale (VAS), anterior heights and median heights of injured vertebra were compared between the two groups at postoperative 3 days, 3 months and the final follow-up. Results:There were no significant differences in the general clinical data between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). All patients had no complications such as wound infection,pulmonary embolism,spinal cord embolism or death. The operation time, fluoroscopy times, bone cement dosage and bone cement permeability of the two groups were statistically significant different ( P<0.05), and the optimal grid group was better than the conventional group. VAS at 3 days, 3 months and the final follow-up was statistically significantlower in the optimal grid group than the conventional group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the recovery of the anterior and middle edge heights of injured vertebra in the two groups 3 days after operation ( P>0.05), but there were statistical significant difference between the two groups3 months after operation and at the last follow-up ( P<0.05), whilethe optimal grid group was better than the conventional group. Conclusion:Compared with conventional PVP, the optimal grid PVP is safer and more effective in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

Objective:To investigate the treatment and prognosis of children with propionic acidemia (PA).Methods:This study involved 82 children with PA treated in the Department of Pediatric Endocrinol-ogy and Genetic Metabolism, Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from December 2002 to June 2020. Clinical data, including manifestations, laboratory test results, treatment strategy, and follow-up data, were summarized and analyzed using t-test or Mann-Whitney U test. Results:(1) Among the 82 cases consisting of 50 (61.0%) boys and 32 (39.0%) girls, 59 (72.0%) were diagnosed after clinical onset; 22 (26.8%) were diagnosed by newborn screening, including eight asymptomatic ones; the other one (1.2%) was asymptomatic but confirmed after the diagnosis of PA in the patient's sibling. The average age at first onset was 4.5 months (2 d-5 years) in 73 subjects, of which 28 (38.4%) were early-onset PA (within three months after birth). (2) Cranial MRI was performed on 26 cases, and abnormality was identified in 19 (73.1%) cases. (3) Hyperlactatemia was found in 16 cases among 30(53.3%) who underwent relevant examination with the average lactic acid level of 3.5 (2.1-4.3) μmol/L, while 35 out of 40 patients (87.5%) had hyperammonemia with an average blood ammonia level of 105.4 (34-907) μmol/L. (4) Among the 28 early-onset PA cases, 16 (57.1%) died, and 12 (42.9%) survived. There was no significant difference in the serum propionylcarnitine level, propionylcarnitine to acetylcarnitine ratio, urine 3-hydroxypropionic acid, or methylcitrate level between the survival and death cases. (5) Genetic mutations were detected in 75 patients (91.5%), among which 26 (34.7%) carried PCCA gene mutations and 48 (64%) with PCCB gene mutations. One patient (1.3%) harbored one known pathogenic mutation in each of the PCCA and PCCB genes. All mutations were inherited from the parents. (6) Followed up to June 2020, 57 (69.5%) patients survived, and 25 (30.5%) died from multiple organ failure secondary to severe acidosis, including 16 early-onset and nine late-onset cases. Conclusions:The primary treatment of PA is dietary control. Most PA patients are diagnosed after clinical onset, but symptoms may recur and even have developmental retardation despite treatment. Some of those diagnosed through newborn screening are asymptomatic after treatment. Newborn screening using tandem mass spectrometry is recommended for early diagnosis and treatment of PA.

This study was aimed to identify pET21b-HPV16E2/BL21(DE3) strain and to optimize the expression of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) E2 protein by orthogonal analysis. Four influence factors on two levels were selected to increase the target protein quantity. The four factors were induction time, induction temperature, inductor concentration and cell density. The quantity of HPV16 E2 protein was used as the evaluation parameter. Induced by IPTG, HPV16 E2 protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western Blot. Target protein was analyzed by GIS imaging system to quantify the protein level. SPSS13. 0 software was applied to analyze the result. Data showed that the expression strain pET211rHPV16 E2/BL21(DE3) was identified correctly. HPV16 E2 protein expressed mainly at insoluble form. The 42KD protein band was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Orthogonal test was applied on influence factor analysis and expression optimization successfully. Main influence factors were inductor concentration and induction temperature. The optimimum condition of maximum expression quantity was 37 degrees C, 7h, 1.0 mmol/L IPTG and OD600 1.0. In this experiment, orthogonal test could not only be used to analyze the influential factors and promote the target protein expression, but also be used to provide a better experiment method for molecular biological study.

Background and objectiveLeptomeningeal metastases (LM) is one of the most serious complications of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) due to the lower quality of life and poor prognosis. hTe aim of this study is to analyze the clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with LM from NSCLC (NSCLC-LM).MethodsClinical data of 3 patients with NSCLC-LM collected from January 2015 to June 2016 were analyzed with a brief review.Results All 3 patients had adenocarcinoma histology harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 21 point mutations (m). Of the 3 cases, 1 was male, 2 were female. hTe mean age was 61.3 years (range, 59-64 years). hTe main clinical manifestations and positive physical examination included headache (3/3), dizziness (3/3), nausea (3/3) and vomiting (3/3), epilepsy (2/3), diplopia (1/3), hearing loss (1/3) and meningeal stimulation sign (3/3). hTe median time from symptom to diagnosis of LM was 2.3 months (range, 1 to 4 months). Except 1 patient with lung cancer and LM diagnosised at the same time, the other 2 cases received the diagnosis of LM atfer tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) therapy or chemotherapy respectively, the median time from diagnosis of NSCLC to LC was 8.5 months. hTe brain enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) manifestations of all 3 cases revealed linear meningeal enhancement. Cerebrospinal lfuid in 3 cases were positive cytology in whom two cases had EGFR exon 21 L858R mutations, consistenting with the lung tissue. hTe symptom of the 2 cases improved atfer TKIs ther-apy, and temozolomide was used as supplement of 1 case of which the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was 4.9 months and 13.9 months respectively.ConclusionLung adenocarcinoma with sensitiveEGFR mutations are likely to appear LM. Lacking of typical symptoms, NSCLC-LM was easily to be missed and misdiagnosed. TKIs therapy combined with temozolomide may be effective therapies for EGFRm-NSCLC-LM patients.

Objective:To establish the classification system of sacroiliac joint dislocation with ipsilateral sacral wing fracture (SJDISWF), examine its reliability and evaluate the clinical application.Methods:A multi-center retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 20 SJDISWF patients admitted to Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University, Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi′an Jiaotong University and Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2016 to December 2019. There were 8 males and 12 females, aged from 13-58 years［(34.7±13.2)years］. Based on the direction of sacral displacement, SJDISWF was divided into 3 types. Type I: the sacroiliac joint dislocated and the ipsilateral sacral wing fracture fragment was anteriorly prolapsed; Type II: the sacroiliac joint dislocated, the ipsilateral sacral wing fracture fragment was compressed or crushed, the anterior sacral foramen may fractured; Type III: the sacroiliac joint dislocated and the ipsilateral sacral wing fracture end was inserted into the sacral canal, causing an intra-sacral canal occupation. The reliability of the classification was performed based on the assessment results of two phases in four observers at 4-week intervals. Treatments were utilized based on the types I, II, III fractures, including anterior approach for open reduction and internal fixation, closed reduction and internal fixation or posterior approach for open reduction and internal fixation respectively. Postoperative fracture healing time was recorded. Quality of fracture reduction was graded according to Matta′s criteria. Majeed functional score was recorded at postoperative 3 months, 6 months and the final follow-up. Complications were detected as well.Results:The overall Kappa value of inter-observer reliability was 0.890. The overall Kappa value of intra-observer reliability was 0.854. There were 12 patients with type I, 7 with type II and 1 with type III. All patients went through the procedure uneventfully and were followed up for 6-36 months［(20.0±8.7)months］. All patients achieved clinical healing in 8-14 weeks［(10.2±1.7)weeks］. According to the Matta′s criteria for fracture reduction, the outcome was excellent or good in 83% (10/12) for type I, 71% (5/7) for type II and 0% (0/1) for type III, with the overall excellent rate of 75%. Majeed functional score was (74.6±5.2)points at postoperative 3 months and (84.4±5.8)points at postoperative 6 months ( P<0.01). According to Majeed functional score, the outcome was excellent or good in 75% (9/12) for type I, 100% (7/7) for type II and 0% (0/1) for type III at the final follow-up, with the overall excellent rate of 80%. There were no complications such as lateral femoral cutaneous nerve or sciatic nerve injury, lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, sacroiliac joint pain, failure of internal fixation or loss of fracture reduction during the follow-up. Conclusions:The SJDISWF classification has high reliability. The classification-oriented treatment strategy has achieved a relatively satisfactory restoration and functional recovery, indicating that the classification plays a certain role in guiding treatment selection for SJDISWF.
