OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical effect of penile augmentation with superficial fascia retrocession.
METHODSThe first annular incision line was designed, reserving the inner plate 0.5 -0.8 cm. The second annular incision line was determined, according to the length of penile erection. The skin tissue between the double loops was stripped, reserving the superficial fascia and the superficial dorsal veins. Before the closure of two annual incision with no tension, the superficial fascia tissue was pushed proximally and fixed sectionally to augment penis.
RESULTSFrom Jun 2009 to Jun 2011, 60 patients with redundant prepuce or phimosis were treated with this method. During 3 to 12 months follow-up, the postoperative penile perimeter increased significantly. The glans were exposed and the prepuce looked smooth. The function of the penis maintained undamaged.
CONCLUSIONSThe penile augmentation with superficial fascia retrocession can make full use of autologous tissue to augment penis, meanwhile, redundant prepuce can be resected. It is very practical for clinical application.

This study was purposed to investigate the effects of interferon (IFN)-γ on expression of adhesion molecules in mesenchymal stromal cells derived from human umbilical cord tissue (UC-MSC). The UC-MSC were isolated from human umbilical cord by tissue culture. The expressions of specific markers on UC-MSC were detected by flow cytometry in the physiological condition. The adipogenic and osteogenic induction of UC-MSC was detected by alizarin and Oil red O staining. UC-MSC were exposed to IFN-γ (100, 1 000, 10 000 U/ml) for 24 h, the expressions of CD54, CD58, CD44, CD49d, CD62p, CD62L, CD102 and CD106 on cell surface were detected using flow cytometry. The results showed that in physiological condition, UC-MSC extremely low expressed CD102, CD106, CD62P, CD62L, while the expression of CD54 was relatively high (41.58 ± 0.83)%. When stimulated by IFN-γ, the expression of CD102, CD106, CD62P, CD62L increased slightly, but still low (< 5%), while CD54 and CD58 upregulated concentration-dependently up to (59.66 ± 1.36)% and (43.96 ± 0.62)% respectively. The expression of CD49d upregulated to (51.33 ± 0.74)% when UC-MSC exposed to IFN-γ 100 U/ml. CD44 increased to (73.22 ± 1.93)% when UC-MSC exposed to IFN-γ 1 000 U/ml. It is concluded that IFN-γ can elevate significantly the expression of CD54, CD49d, CD44 and CD58, but has no significant effect on CD102, CD106, CD62P and CD62L expression on the surface of UC-MSC.

OBJECTIVETo preliminary study the long term therapeutic effects of repeat the whole lung lavage (RWLL) in the treatment of silicosis.
METHODSA total of 60 patients with silicosis in the same stone mine were randomly and equally divided into repeat the whole lung Lavage (RWLL) group and whole lung Lavage (WLL) group based on silicosis staging, age and working age of dust exposure. Comparative analysis was performed to evaluate the long-term therapeutic efficacy and safety of RWLL. The cell count and SiO2 content were measured in twice right lung bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) of the RWLL group.
RESULTSFour years after treatment, the cough and asthma improvement rates of the RWLL group were 68.4% and 75.0% higher than those (52.4%and 57.9%) of the WLL group (P > 0.05). Six years after treatment, the asthma improvement rate (70.0%) of the RWLL group was significantly higher than that (36.8%) of the WLL group (P < 0.05). The RWLL group showed slight decrease in forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1.0) after treatment (P > 0.05), while the WLL group showed significant decrease in FVC and FEV1.0 in the six years after treatment (P<0.05). Four and Six years after treatment, the RWLL group had higher no change rate and lower progression rate and significant progression rate than the WLL group in terms of chest X-ray (P>0.05). In the RWLL group,the first time the right lung BALF test showed a number of cells 6.71×10(7)∼2.14×10(9)/L, average 4.50×10(8)/L, pulmonary alveoli macrophages (PAM) ratio of 0.873∼0.980, average 0.954 and SiO2 content of 18∼104.7 mg, average 93.7 mg; the second test showed a number of cells 5.71×10(6)∼1.30×10(9)/L, average 9.12×10(7)/L; PAM ratio 0.710∼0.926, average 0.870 and SiO2 content of 6∼90.2 mg, average 46.2 mg. The RWLL group happened hemoptysis, chest pain one case in perioperative period, the incidence of 6.7%. The RWLL group complicated by left pneumothorax, pulmonary infection one case and the WLL group complicated by one case of lung cancer in a year of follow-up.
CONCLUSIONRWLL is reasonable and safe treatment which could help to further improve the long-term effects of WLL for silicosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the safety and efficiency of the disposable circumcision suture device (DCSD) in the surgical treatment of phimosis and redundant prepuce.
METHODSWe randomly assigned 249 outpatients with phimosis or redundant prepuce to be treated with DCSD (n = 129) and by conventional circumcision (CC, n = 120), respectively. Then we compared the safety and efficiency of the two strategies.
RESULTSComparisons between DCSD and CC showed that the operation time was (4.02 +/- 0.69) vs (30.8 +/- 4.05) min, blood loss was (1.07 +/- 1.29) vs (8.72 +/- 2.15) ml, intraoperative pain score was 0.81 +/- 0.81 vs 2.42 +/- 1.15, 24-hour postoperative pain score was 1.84 +/- 1.02 vs 4.99 +/- 1.36, postoperative complication rate was 13. 95% (18/129) vs 9.17% (11/120), wound healing time was (13.99 +/- 9.06) vs (17.48 +/- 3.49) d, satisfaction with the penile appearance was 98.4% (127/129) vs 95% (109/120), and treatment cost was (2215.62 +/- 17.67) vs (576.47 + 15.58) Y RMB. DCSD exhibited obvious superiority over CC for shorter operation time, less blood loss, milder intraoperative pain, sooner wound healing, and better penile appearance, but it also had a higher rate of postoperative complications (P > 0.05) and involved more treatment cost than the latter (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe disposable circumcision suture device affords ideal clinical effects and therefore deserves clinical popularization.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of treatment with haploidentical donor's lymphocyte infusion(hiDLI) combined with interleukin-2 (IL-2) after transplantation of autologous peripheral blood stem cells mixed with haploidentical allogeneic bone marrow (mix-HSCT) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). 49 patients diagnosed as AML were enrolled in this study. After preconditioning with TBI plus VEMAC regimen, all patients received mix-HSCT. Autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells were mobilized with chemotherapy-combined G-CSF, and haploidentical allogeneic bone marrow cells were not mobilized with G-CSF. 33 patients in test group were treated with hiDLI plus IL-2 for 1-8 times after hematopoietic reconstruction, 16 patients in control group received mix-HSCT only. All the patients were followed-up for more than 3 years. The results showed that all the patients obtained hematopoietic reconstruction, and no graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was found. In two groups, the median time of absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 0.5×10(9)/L was 14 (12 - 18) and 14 (11 - 16) days, and WBC count ≥ 4.0×10(9)/L was 17 (16 - 22) and 18(17 - 20) days, Plt count ≥ 50×10(8)/L were 25 (24 - 29) and 25 (23 - 26) days. 9 patients in test group formed mixed chimerism (46XX/46XY) and sustained about 3 - 12 months; disease-free survival (DFS) was 63.6%, 3 patients in control group formed mixed chimerism (46XX/46XY), persistent about 3-6 months; DFS was 50.0%. It is concluded that treatment with hiDLI plus IL-2 after mix-HSCT for AML patients may increase DFS efficiently.

This study was aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of bortezomib combined with autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoPBSCT) for patients with multiple myeloma (MM). 5 patients underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Bortezomib treatment was supplied for patients before autoPBSCT and in the conditioning of transplantation, it was also used in maintaining treatment. Patients with transplantation adopted bortezomib plus melphalan conditioning regimen. The number of infused MNC and number of CD34(+) cells were 4.06×10(8) (4.09×10(8) - 4.37×10(8))/kg and 3.98×10(6) (2.49×10(6) - 8.2×10(6))/kg respectively. The results showed that hematopoiesis was reconstituted in 5 patients, with a neutrophil cell count more than 0.5×10(9)/L at day 14 (13 - 25 days) after transplantation and platelet count more than 50×10(9)/L at day 28 (21 - 41 days) after transplantation. Transplantation-associated death was not observed. 5 patients were disease-free survival. In conclusion, treatment of bortezomib combined with autologous peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an effective method for patients with multiple myeloma. Use of bortezomib after transplantation might still be favourable to MM patients, for survival prolongation and life quality improvement.

Recent studies have shown that low dose X-irradiation shows specific effect different from high dose exposures. However, the biologic responses of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) to low dose X-irradiation have rarely been described in the literature. This study was purposed to investigate the biologic responses of human bone marrow-derived MSC to low dose X-irradiation. The proliferation of cells was tested with MTT assay, so that the cell growth curve was drawn at 1 to 7 days. The expression of survivin mRNA was detected by RT-PCR assay; the BM-MSC DNA damage induced by X-irradiation were detected with mononuclear cell gel electrophoresis. The results indicated that the proliferative ability of BM-MSC exposed to low doses of X rays was obviously enhanced as compared with control group. The low dose X-irradiation caused the damage of DNA in X-ray dose dependent manner. X-irradiation enhanced expression of survivin in MSC. It is concluded that the low dose below 20 cGy of X-irradiation has a promoting effect on survivin expression in BM-MSC. Whether the high expression of survivin plays an important role to resist ionizing radiation needs to be further studied.

OBJECTIVETo explore the role of autophagy in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced resistance of human myeloma cell line RPMI8226.
METHODSWe established doxorubicin induced resistant subline of myeloma cell line RPMI8226/DOX by drug concentration step-elevation method. Resistant index of DOX was measured by MTT assay. Autophagy of myeloma cell lines RPMI8226/s and RPMI8226/DOX was detected by transmission electron microscopy, immunofluorescence (LC3-FITC) and western blot respectively. Apoptosis of RPMI8226/DOX cells induced by DOX combined with autophagic inhibitor hydroxychloroquine or 3-MA was identified by AnnexinV-FITC/PI double fluorescence dyeing.
RESULTSResistant index of RPMI8226/DOX was approximately 10.8 fold of that of RPMI8226/S. Electron microscopic studies revealed that most of RPMI8226/DOX cells displayed viable attributes and contained numerous autophagic vacuoles. Fluorescent images of RPMI8226/DOX cells showed a punctuate distribution in LC3 protein. Increased LC3-II protein in RPMI8226/DOX cells was determined by immunoblotting. There were no differences among 8 μmol/L HCQ (3.24±1.08)%, 10 mmol/L 3-MA (2.81±0.80)% or control \[(2.12±1.24)%\] (P>0.05) in terms of AnnexinV-FITC/PI double fluorescence dyeing; Compared with apoptosis of (9.75±2.15)%, (24.36±2.16)% and (40.51±3.14)% of RPMI8226/DOX cells under 2, 4 and 6 μmol/L DOX, apoptosis increased significantly after 24 h incubation under 2, 4 and 6 μmol/L DOX combined with 8 μmol/L HCQ as of \[(16.56±1.89)%, (36.44±2.91)% and (62.68±3.75)%, respectively\], or under 2, 4 and 6 μmol/L DOX combined with 10 mmol/L 3-MA as of \[(15.47±1.85)%, (39.28±3.06)% and (55.46±4.07)%, respectively\] (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONAutophagy was involved in doxorubicin-induced resistance of myeloma cell line RPMI8226, DOX resistance in myeloma cells was reversed partly by autophagy inhibitor hydroxychloroquine or 3-MA, and autophagy may be one of mechanisms for drug resistance.
