Objective To assess the craniotomy in traumatic frontal sinus fracture cerebrospinal fluid( CSF) leaks.Methods Clinical data of 12 traumatic frontal sinus fracture CSF leaks from January 2010 to December 2014, who treated by craniotomy and conservation treatment was invalid were reviewed.Combined typical clinical presenta-tion and basicranial thin-layer computed tomography(CT),made qualitative diagnosis and localization.Craniotomy by bilateral coronary incision and epidural approach was performed.Repairation was mainly for the endocranium and the basicranium.Bone cement was used to reconstruct the osseous defect of the frontal sinus,and then with pedicle periosteal flap coverage.Dural defects was fixed with autogenous fascia.After operation,staying in bed and using anti-biotic for 7-14 days were required,while mannital or lumbar-drainage as needed.Results All 12 cases got posi-tive preoperative CT results.Craniotomy was performed,succeeded without reoperation.None of intracranial infection happened,while 1 case suffered from anosphrasia.Followed up for 3 -12 months, none CSF leaks relapsed. Conclusion Craniotomy by coronary incision,dispose the endocranium and the basicranium for the patients who suf-fered from frontal sinus fracture CSF leaks while conservation treatment is invalid,can obtain satisfied result.

Robotic catheter minimally invasive operation requires that the driver control system has the advantages of quick response, strong anti-jamming and real-time tracking of target trajectory. Since the catheter parameters of itself and movement environment and other factors continuously change, when the driver is controlled using traditional proportional-integral-derivative (PID), the controller gain becomes fixed once the PID parameters are set. It can not change with the change of the parameters of the object and environmental disturbance so that its change affects the position tracking accuracy, and may bring a large overshoot endangering patients' vessel. Therefore, this paper adopts fuzzy PID control method to adjust PID gain parameters in the tracking process in order to improve the system anti-interference ability, dynamic performance and tracking accuracy. The simulation results showed that the fuzzy PID control method had a fast tracking performance and a strong robustness. Compared with those of traditional PID control, the feasibility and practicability of fuzzy PID control are verified in a robotic catheter minimally invasive operation.

Objective To explore the overexpression of the 14-3-3 sigma (14-3-3σ) gene effects proliferation in pancreatic cancer cells.Methods The 14-3-3σ protein level in 46 pancreatic cancers and 9 normal pancreases specimens were analyzed by immunohistochemistry.The mRNA and protein expression of 14-3-3σ in pancreatic carcinoma cell lines (BxPC3,CAPAN-1,PANC-1,AsPC-1,SW1990,MiaPaCa-2 and CFPAC-1) were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot respectively.A recombinant plasmid of pEGFP-14-3-3σ was constructed and transfected into the pancreatic cancer cell PANC-1 by liposome,and the expression of 14-3-3σ was detected by Western blot and real time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Cell proliferation activity was determined by MTS assay.Results The 14-3-3σ protein level was higher in pancreatic cancer tissue than in normal pancreatic tissue.mRNA and protein expression of 14-3-3σ was highest in BxPC3,high in AsPC-1,SW1990 and CFPAC-1,low in PANC-1 and Capan-1,and lowest in MiaPaCa-2.The successfully constructed pEGFP-14-3-3σ was confirmed by RT-qPCR and Western blot.MTS assay showed cell proliferation activity was significantly enhanced by overexpression of the 14-3-3σ gene compared to negative and blank control cells.Conclusion The expression of 14-3-3σ was higher in pancreatic cancer compared with normal pancre atic tissue,and the 14-3-3σ gene enhanced the cell proliferation activity of PANC-1.Therefore,14-3-3σ may play an important role in pancreatic cancer development.

AIM: To study signal transduction pathway of nitric oxide-induced PC12 cell death. METHODS: After PC12 cells were incubated with sodium nitroprusside(SNP), caspase-3 inhibitor Ⅱ plus SNP or p38 inhibitor-SB203580 plus SNP, cell survival rate was quantified by MTT assay and caspase-3 activity was measured with caspase-3 assay kits. RESULTS: SNP induced PC12 cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and increased caspase-3 activity gradually. Both caspase-3 inhibitorⅡand SB203580 reduced cell death significantly, but SB203580 reduced caspase-3 activity significantly. CONCLUSION: NO might induce PC12 cell death through the activation of p38 and caspase-3.

Objective To discuss the risk factors of free wall rupture (FWR) in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Methods We retrospectively reviewed all patients (n=1247) with STEMI hospitalized in CCU from January 2005 to July 2010. Results FWR occurred in 29 patients(2.3%). Of these 1247 patients, 128 (10.2%) patients received thrombolytic therapy, 623 (50.0%) patients underwent primary PCI. Compared to No-FWR group, FWR group has signiifcant differences in age (62.4±6.4 y vs. 66.6±8.3 y, P<0.05), hypertenion (29.7%vs. 21.8%, P>0.05), diabetes mellitu (55.2%vs. 23.5%, P=0.022), presence of heart failure on admission (Killip≥Ⅱ) ( 16.4%vs. 34.0%, P<0.05), Peak value of hCRP[20.33 (15.02, 81.25) vs. 43.35 (16.56, 126.78)], no-history of pervious MI (10.3%vs. 18.4%, P=0.018). Multivariate logistic regression showed that age (≥70 years old), Killip≥Ⅱ, hCRP ( > 100 mg/L) and thrombolytic therapy were independent risk factors of FWR. Conclusions STEMI patients with advanced age, Killip≥Ⅱ, hCRP and thrombolytic therapy were more vulnerable of FWR.

Objective To analyze the cosmetic effects and postoperative complications of patients with early breast cancer who underwent oncoplastic breast-conserving reconstruction and traditional breast-conserving surgery.Methods From January 201 2 to October 201 5,we collected a total of 67 patients with early-stage breast cancer who underwent breast-conserving surgery in Affiliated Mindong Hospital of Fujian Medical Univer-sity.Thirty patients who underwent oncoplastic breast-conserving reconstruction were in observation group,and 37 patients who underwent traditional breast-conserving surgery were in the control group.The postoperative complications,cosmetic effects and survival situations in the two groups were compared.Results In the aes-thetic effects evaluation,22 patients (73.33%)and 1 6 patients (43.24%)had good or excellent cosmetic effects,6 patients (20.00%)and 1 4 patients (37.84%)had general cosmetic effects,2 patients (6.67%) and 7 patients (1 8.92%)had poor cosmetic effects in the observation group and control group,with a signifi-cant difference (Z =-2.51 3,P =0.01 2).Four patients (1 3.33%)in the observation group had postopera-tive complications,including that 1 patients had incisional dehiscence followed by incisional wound infection and skin necrosis,and 3 patients had subcutaneous exudates.However,2 patients (5.41 %)in the control group had postoperative complications,including 1 patients with incisional dehiscence,and 1 patients with inci-sional wound infection.There were no significant difference in the occurrence rates of postoperative complica-tions in the two groups (χ2 =0.490,P =0.484).The mean follow-up period was 28 months.We found 1 patients of local recurrence,and 2 patients of metastases in the control group.However,all patients were free of recurrence and metastases in the observation group,with no significant difference (P =0.1 40).Conclusion Oncoplastic surgical technique in the breast-conserving surgery for patients with early-stage breast cancer is a safe and effective procedure,with highly satisfactory cosmetic effects for the majority of patients,which is worth to recommend.

Comprehensive treatment dominated by surgery is the mainstay in the treatment of hepatic cancer,and hepatectomy is still the most effective treatment method.Bile duct reconstruction after hepatectomy is still the difficult point for the treatment of hepatic cancer complicated by bile duct invasion.A 45-year-old patient with hepatic cancer and gallstone was admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Guiyang Medical College,magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and enhanced computed tomography indicated that intrahepatic duct was dilated and tumor had invaded both left and right hepatic ducts.Cholecystectomy,mesohepatectomy,duct to duct anastomosis of left hepatic duct and common hepatic duct,duct to duct anastomosis of right hepatic duct and cystic duct were performed during the operation.The patient was cured 2 weeks after surgery.

The respiratory burst of neutrophils is an important response in inflammation. The alterations in extracellular pH per se is not a sufficient trigger to the respiratory burst in neutrophils. While neutrophils in respose to conventional agonists, the respiratory burst in neutrophils is affected by the alterations in extracellular pH, and there is a direct relationship between intracellular and extracellular pH. O-? 2 production in neutrophils is decreased while H 2O 2 production is increased at acidic pH. O-? 2 release in neutrophils is enhanced at weak alkaline pH. Na+/H+ exchanger plays an important role in the regulation of the respiratory burst of neutrophils.

Objective To explore the influence of tranSCription factor FOXC2 in angiogenesis of breast cancer MCF-7 cells and to clarify the action mechanism of FOXC2 in promoting tumor angiogenesis.Methods FOXC2 gene and empty vector gene were transfected into breast cancer of MCF-7 cell line with FOXC2 lentivirus gene transfection technique to obtain stable transfection cell line. The MCF-7 cells were devided into non-transfected group,empty-vector group and over-expression group.Matrigel assay and Transwell chamber test were used to observe the changes of tube formation and migration ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)in MCF-7 cells supernatant in various groups. PT-PCR and Western blotting methods were applied to detect the expressions of FOXC2,DLL4 and Notch1 mRNA and protein.Results Compared with non-tranfected group and empty-vector group,the tube formation and the migration number of HUVECs in FOXC2 over-expression group were increased(P<0.05);the expressions of FOXC2,DLL4 and Notch1 mRNA and proteins were significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion The FOXC2 over-expression in MCF-7 cells can increase the tube formation ability and migration ability of HUVECs,and its mechanism may be related to Notch signaling pathway.

Objective To study the protective effect mechanism of Rosa laevigata Michx (RLM) on cardiotoxicity induced by adriamycin in rats. Method 30 SD rats were randomly into control group, doxorubicin group and RLM groups. The control group was injected with normal saline injection, while the model group was injected with adriamycin intraperitoneally at the dosage of 15 mg/kg every other day. For the RLM groups,1~5 g/kg RLM were given after adriamycin injection. The survival rate, plasma BNP was observed. Apoptosis of cardiomyocyte was detected by instituted-labeled DNA (TUNEL). The activity of GSH-PX, CAT and total SOD in the myocardium tissue were also observed. The expression level of CuZn-SOD , bcl-2 and bax were detected by real-time PCR. Results The survival rate was significantly improved in SD rats treated with RLM compared with that in the adriamycin group (P<0.01). The BNP level was increased when treated by adriamycin (P<0.01), and decreased after RLM administration (P<0.01). RLM could also upregulate the expression of the CuZn-SOD mRNA level, and enhance the activity of GSH-PX, CAT and T-SOD compared with that in adriamycin group. Adriamycin could induce myocardial cells apoptosis, as demonstrated by TUNEL. RLM could inhibit adriamycin-induced apoptosis, bax mRNA expression, and increase bcl-2 expression and bcl-2/bax ratio. Conclusion RLM exhibit some antioxidant activity through many stages, and the anti-apoptosis activity may be related to affect the expression of bax and bcl-2 expression.
