BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem celltransplantation promoted skin repair in trauma via various regulatory mechanisms and inhibited scar formation. At present, many scholars believed that bioactive factors secreted by mesenchymal stem cells played an important role.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cellconditioned medium on the proliferation and col agen synthesis of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts.
METHODS:Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and hypertrophic scar fibroblasts were isolated and cultured, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cellconditioned medium was prepared. Hypertrophic scar fibroblasts were cultured in vitro with 12, 24, and 48 hour-col ected conditioned medium for 24 hours, which was compared with blank control group. The proliferation of cells was determined by CCK-8. Type I and type III col agen expression in hypertrophic scar fibroblasts was detected using real-time PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the blank control group, 24 and 48 hour-col ected conditioned medium significantly inhibited the proliferation of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (P<0.01), and also suppressed col agen synthesis of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (P<0.01). Results suggested that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cellconditioned medium inhibited the proliferation and col agen synthesis of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts by secreting anti-fibrotic bioactive factors, which may provide new theoretical supports for celltherapy to reduce cutaneous scarring.

Objective To explore the biological function and downstream mechanism of ETS1 in glioma. Methods Bioinformatics and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze the differential expression characteristics of ETS1 in gliomas; qRT-PCR was employed to detect the expression level of ETS1 mRNA and lncRNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST). CCK-8 and 5-ethyl-2′-deoxyuridine experiments were conducted to detect cell growth. Western blot was used to detect the expression of apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, Bak, Bcl-2). PROMO database was utilized to predict the binding sites between ETS1 and XIST promoter. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation-quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays were performed to verify the binding relationship between ETS1 and the XIST promoter region. cBioPortal database was used to analyze the correlation between the expression of ETS1 mRNA and XIST in glioma tissues. Results The expression levels of ETS1 mRNA and protein were significantly upregulated in glioma (P<0.05). The depletion of ETS1 significantly inhibited the proliferation of glioma cells and promoted cell apoptosis (P<0.05). ETS1 could target and bind with the XIST promoter and promote the expression of XIST (P<0.05). The overexpression of XIST reversed the effects of ETS1 on the proliferation of glioma cells and the promotion of cell apoptosis (P<0.05). Conclusion ETS1 is highly expressed in glioma tissues. It could promote the expression of lncRNA XIST, boost the proliferation of glioma cells, and inhibit cell apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the method and effect of microneurosurgery in the treatment of recurrent craniopharyngioma.Methods:The clinical data of 41 recurrent craniopharyngioma patients treated by microneurosurgery in Capital Medical University Sanbo Brain Hospitalfrom January 2018 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 41 patients, 38 cases were treated with the frontal basal interhemispheric approach and 3 cases with the translongitudinal fissure combined with the transSylvian fissure approach. Gross total resection was performed in 34 cases (82.9%) and subtotal resection in 7 cases (17.1%). One patient (2.4%) died of pulmonary embolism during perioperative period. All patients had transient electrolyte disorder after operation, and recovered within 3 months after treatment. All patients had endocrine dysfunction. After 3 months of hormone replacement therapy, 11 patients were cured. Visual acuity decreased in 3 cases after operation, and 2 cases improved after treatment.Conclusions:Surgical treatment of recurrent craniopharyngioma is very difficult, which is a great challenge for doctors and patients. However, through the individualized evaluation of the patients and the meticulous technique of the doctors during the operation, a satisfactory effect can be achieved post the operation of recurrent craniopharyngioma.

There were 157 males and 382 females, aged (62.7±0.5)years. Observation indicators: (1) follow-up; (2) risk factors for anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic LAR; (3) establishment of risk assessment scoring model for anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic LAR. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient examination or telephone interview. Patients were followed up at 1 week after discharge or 1 month after the operation to detect the anastomotic leakage. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were represented as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. Univariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test and multivariate analysis was conducted usong the Logistic regression model. The area under curve of receiver operating characteristic curve was used to estimate the efficiency of detecton methods. The maximum value of the Youden index was defined as the best cut-off value. Results:(1) Follow-up: 539 patients were followed up at postoperative 1 week and 1 month. During the follow-up, 79 patient had anastomotic leakage, with an incidence of 14.66%(79/539). Of the 79 patients, 39 cases were cured after conservative treatment, 40 cases were cured after reoperation (ileostomy or colostomy). (2) Risk factors for anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic LAR. Results of univariate analysis showed that sex, age, body mass index, smoking and/or drinking, tumor diameter, diabetes mellitus, hemoglobin, albumin, grade of American Society of Anesthesio-logists (ASA), neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, distance from anastomotic level to dentate line, the number of pelvic stapler, reinforced anastomosis, volume of intraoperative blood loss, placement of decompression tube, preservation of left colic artery, operation time and professional doctors were related factors for anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic LAR ( χ2=14.060, 4.387, 5.039, 4.094, 17.488, 33.485, 25.066, 28.959, 34.973, 34.207, 22.076, 13.208, 16.440, 17.708, 17.260, 4.573, 5.919, 5.389, P<0.05).
