Apoptosis of neutrophils controls the duration and the intensity of an inflammatory response and therefore the extent of neutrophil- mediated tissue damage, disturbance of neutrophil apoptosis has been associated with many diseases, underlying mechanism is not elucidated. C5a is a complement fragment that has multifunctional properties, which induces neutrophil chemoattraction, an oxidative burst, enhancement of phagocytosis, release of granule enzymes, and suppress neutrophil apoptosis. Several studies have reported calpain is involved in both neutrophil functions and apoptosis and it might play a more specific role in the regulation of neutrophil apoptosis. Diffenrent isoform of calpains is activted by diffenrent stimuli through different transduction pathway. It was reported previously that calpain is required for neutrophil migration and chemotaxis induced by C5a. In addition, autophagy is a ubiquitous physiological process that occurs in all eukaryotic cells and is considered to be a survival mechanism. Atg5 promotes autophagy and is indispensable to autophagosome formation. Upon calpain activation, Atg5 is cleaved and the resulting 24 ku Atg5 mediates apoptosis while losting the property of autophagy. Therefore, Atg5 represents a molecular switch between autophagy and apoptosis. The interaction among the C5a, calpain and Atg5 was introduced and new direction for further research was provided.

This study aimed to elucidate the effects of different soil water contents on the yield and quality of R.glutinosa.Different soil water contents were adjusted in different periods of growth of R.glutinosa.The yield,content of water extract,catalpol,verbascoside and polysaccharide were determined and analysed by the grey pattern recognition after harvests.The impacts of soil water content from the most important to the least important were medium moisture content (M2),high moisture content (M3),low moisture content (M1) and blank (M4).In the cultivation of R.glutinosa,the soil water content should be remained in the range of 40％-50％ at seedling stage,while 50％-60％ at the stage of root formation and tuber enlargement,and 20％-30％ during harvesting,which can significantly improve the yield and quality of R.glutinosa.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of Bcl-6, c-myc gene abnormalities in Xinjiang Uygur and Han dif-fused large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) subtypes. Methods:Bcl-6, c-myc gene was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization in 233 patients with DLBCL . A relationship was observed among Bcl-6, c-myc gene translocation, and clinical data in DLBCL patients. In addition, a difference was observed among Bcl-6, c-myc gene translocation, and different ethnic groups in different subtypes of DLB-CL. Results:Among the 233 patients, 51 cases (21.89%) had rearranged Bcl 6 gene, and 39 cases (16.74%) had rearranged c-myc gene. Bcl-6 gene translocation and expression was related with age, gender, disease location, clinical stage, and LDH levels (P>0.05), but was not related with nationality , international prognostic index score, extranodal involvement, B symptoms, DLBCL subtypes, and recent efficacy (P<0.05);c-myc gene translocation and expression was related with age, gender, disease location, clinical stage LDH levels, and DLBCL subtypes (P>0.05), but was not related with nationality, IPI score, extranodal involvement, B symptoms, and recent effica-cy (P<0.05). In the Uygur and Han GCB groups, Bcl-6, c-myc gene translocation showed no significant difference (P>0.05). By con-trast, in the Uygur and Han non-GCB groups, Bcl-6, c-myc gene translocation showed significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion:Bcl-6, C-myc gene translocation was related with age, gender, disease location, clinical stage, and LDH levels. Bcl-6 gene translocation was also correlated with different subtypes of DLBCL.

Objective To investigate the alteration of cell proliferation and heparin-binding epidermal-growth-factor-like growth factor(HB-EGF)mRNA expression in cultured normal human keratinocytes after acitretin treatment.Methods After a 12-hour incubation with 0.1 and 1 ?mol/L acitretin in normal human keratinocytes,the proliferation potency of the cells was detected by MTT colorimetric assay and the expression of HB-EGF mRNA was examined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results Both keratinocytes growth inhibition and HB-EGF mRNA expression was dose-dependently induced by acitretin.Treatment with 0.1 and 1 ?mol/L acitretin inhibited keratinocyte proliferation by 10.2% and 14.4%,and elevated HB-EGF mRNA by 3.2-and 7.1-fold,respectively.Conclusion Upregulated HB-EGF mRNA expression induced by acitretin in normal human keratinocytes may be involved in regulating keratinocyte growth inhibition after acitretin treatment.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of the real-time three-dimensional ultrasound in the diagnosis of the fistula-in-ano.Methods One hundred and eighteen fistula-in-ano patients were examined using conventional and three-dimensional ultrasound,the stereotaxis of interal opening and the shape of the fistula-in-ano were analyzed.Then the diagnosis results of ultrasound were compared with the surgery and pathology.Results In 1 1 8 patients,the accuracy of preoperative identifying internal opening by two-dimensional ultrasound was 85%,and 95% for three-dimensional ultrasound with statistically significant difference (χ2 =6.679,P <0.05).For complex anal fistula,the diagnostic accuracy rates of main fistula tract by three-dimensional ultrasound (100%,82/82 )was higher than that by two-dimensional ultrasound(95%,78/82),the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =4.100,P <0.05 ).In 82 cases of complex anal fistula,the diagnostic accuracy of branch fistula tract by two-dimensional ultrasound was 70%(57/82 ),the accuracy using three-dimensional ultrasound was 89% (73/82 ),there was statistically significance (χ2 =9.499,P < 0.05 ).Conclusions Three-dimensional ultrasound can accurately locate the interal opening of fistula-in-ano and determine the shape of fistula-in-ano,which provided the most intuitive information for clinical treatment and had high practical value.

BACKGROUND:The cervical pedicle screws provide ideal three-column stability for cervical vertebra, but there is stil no a standard with the choice of pedicle screw place methods in cervical vertebra. Here, we try to seek a simpler, safer and accurate pedicle screw place method.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the accuracy and security of transpedicular screw placement assisted by rapid prototyping individual navigation template. METHODS:Eight cadaver cervical specimens (C3-6) were selected to take CT-scan and data were saved in DICOM format. Three-dimensional (3D) software MIMICS was used to establish the C3~6 3D model, and designed the best pedicle screw channel. According to the morphological feature of the posterior cervical spine elements, the reverse template was designed. Then, the best pedicle screw channels were fused into bilateral navigation template. The navigation template was manufactured by rapid prototyping, and saved in STL format. Rapid prototyping technology was used to print out the navigation template. Cervical pedicle screws were inserted with the assistance of navigation templates fitted with the posterior structure of the vertebral body. Postoperative X-ray and CT scan were used to evaluate the accuracy of screw placement. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Total y 64 screws were inserted with the assistance of individual navigation templates. Of them, 62 screws were completely in the pedicle;1 screw perforated the medial cortex of pedicle;1 screw perforated the lateral cortex of pedicle. Accuracy of screw placement was 97%. (2) The individual navigation template with a high accuracy rate is a feasible and safe method for cervical pedicle screw placement, which has great prospects for clinical application.

Objectives:To systematically evaluate the risk factors associated with postoperative epidural hematoma in patients undergoing cervical spinal surgery.Methods:PubMed,Embase,the Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CNKI,Wanfang databases,VIP databases and CBM were searched by computer for retro-spective or prospective studies on epidural hematoma in patients undergoing cervical spine surgery published since the inception of the databases to April 2023.Two reviewers screened the literatures according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and NOS scale was used to evaluate the quality of the literature included.The basic information of the study,including age,gender and body mass index(BMI),as well as the factors related to the occurrence of epidural hematoma after cervical spine surgery,such as surgical segment,whether combined with posterior longitudinal ligament ossification,operative time,diabetes,hypertension,smoking,use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and laboratory related indicators were extracted.The risk of bias analysis of the included studies was performed using funnel plots,and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software.Results:A total of 12 literatures were included,and the NOS quality scores of the in-cluded literatures were all 6-8 points,of which,11 were of high quality and 1 was of medium quality.Meta-analysis showed that male[odds ratio(OR)=2.84,95％confidence interval(CI)(1.73,4.67),P＜0.0001],BMI＞24kg/m2[OR=8.50,95％CI(2.56,25.24),P=0.0005],multiple surgical segments(≥2)[OR=2.26,95％CI(1.42,3.594),P=0.0005],operative time＞2h[OR=1.46,95％CI(1.08,1.97),P=0.01],preoperative administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs[OR=3.60,95％CI(1.00,12.99),P=0.05]were the risk factors for epidural hematoma after cervical spine surgery.The results of the funnel plot were used to test the publication bias of the surgical segment and intraoperative blood loss,which were the most influential factors in the literature,and the results showed that there was no publication bias in the surgical segment,while there was partial publication bias in the intraoperative blood loss.Conclusions:Male,BMI＞24kg/m2,multi-segment surgery(sur-gical segment ≥2),operative time＞2h,and preoperative administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the risk factors for SEH after cervical spine surgery.
