Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of multimodal postoperative analgesia of thoracotomy for malignant tumor excision.Method Sixty patients undergoing thoracotomy for malignant tumor excision were recuited.They were randomized into four groups:group A receiving single flurbiprofen axetil injection,group B using electronic analgesia pump for sufentanil PCIA,group C using electronic analgesia pump for dezocine PCIA and group D receiving sufentanil controlled by PCA-TCI system.Vital signs,artery lood gas analysis,PrinceHenry score,Ramsay score,remedial measure and untoward reactions were recorded.Results The falling down degree of Prince-Henry score of Group D was higher than those of Groups A,B and C (P ＜ 0.05).Reduction of Ramsay score of Group D was higher than those of Groups A,B and C (P ＜ 0.05).The number of the patients in Group D not undergoing Bolus remedial measure was larger than that of those in Groups B and C (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion When referring to the effectiveness and safety of the models administrated the thoracotomy for malignant tumors excision,the analgesia model of PC A-TCI sufentanil (plasma target concentration:0.12～ 0.14 ng/ mL) used in Group D is superior to other models used in Groups A,B and C.Moreover,individual analgesia can be reached by the PCA-TCI sufentanil model.

Objective:To elucidate the phenotypic and functional characteristics of CD3+ CD4+ and CD3+ CD8+ T in pleural fluid of patients with tuberculous pleurisy.Methods:PBMCs and PFCs were isolated. The frequency of CD3+,CD3+ CD4+,CD3+ CD8+ T cells and the ratio of CD4/CD8 in PFCs were analyzed by FACS. The concentration of IFN-?,IL-2 and TNF-? in the pleural fluid were analyzed by ELISA.Production of IFN-?,IL-2 and TNF-? by CD3+ CD4+ and CD3+ CD8+ T cells was detected by FACS following stimulation with BCG.Results:Higher frequencies of CD3+ CD4+ T cells and CD4+ T/CD8+ T ratio were demonstrated in PFCs when compared with PBMCs from normal donors and TB patients.ELISA analysis demonstrated that significantly high levels of IFN-? and TNF-? were detected in pleural fluid.Further analysis by FACS indicated that IL-2,TNF-? and IFN-? were predominantly secreted by CD3+CD4+T cells but not by CD3+ CD8+ T cells.Conclusion:The frequencies of CD3+ and CD3+ CD4+ T cells are increased in PFCs. Large amounts of Th1 cytokines are detected,which are produced by CD3+ CD4+ T cells,and might play important roles against TB infection.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of reconstruction of the mandibular defect in patients with osteoradionecro-sis using submental artery island flap and reconstructive Ti-plate.Methods:20 cases with mandible osteoradionecrosis underwent par-tial mandibulectomy.The submental artery island flap and reconstructive Ti-plate were used to reconstruct the mandibular defects and adjacent soft tissue defects.The post-operative effects and flap successful rate were evaluated with a follow-up period of 6 to 1 8 months.Results:1 9 flaps were well survived,local necrosis in the remote end was observed in 1 flap,but survived by hyperbaric ox-ygen therapy and iodoform gauze dressing,no plate exposure was found after operation in the follow up period.All patients were satis-factory with the outlook.Conclusion:Submental artery island flap combined with reconstructive Ti-plate is feasible in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate clinicopathologic features, pathologic diagnosis, differential diagnosis and biological behavior of epitheioid myxofibrosarcoma (EMFS).

METHODSThe clinical and pathological data of 10 cases were collected, and microscopic examination and immunostains were performed along with a review of the literatures.

RESULTSThere were 5 males and 5 females with age ranging from 53 to 74 years, and the mean and median age was 63.6 and 62.5 years, respectively. Six cases developed in the extremities, including upper limbs (n=3) and lower limbs (n=3). Three developed in the trunk and 1 case in the mesentery of sigmoid colon. Tumor size ranged from 4.2 to 7.0 cm (mean, 5.3 cm). Most patients presented with painless masses with duration of 1 to 24 months (mean, 8 months). All 10 patients were treated by surgery, with adjunctive chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy in 4 patients and interventional therapy in 1 patient. Histologically, 8 cases were high grade and 2 were intermediate grade. Like the conventional myxofibrosarcomas, all primary tumors presented a multinodular growth pattern consisting of hypocellular myxoid and hypercellular areas. Prominent curvilinear vessels and pseudolipoblasts were observed in the hypocellular myxoid areas. Besides the spindled neoplastic cells, all tumors were characterized by a variable proportion of epithelioid cells with vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli and moderate to abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. They were arranged singly or in small clusters in the myxoid areas, and in compact sheets in the solid areas. The epithelioid component comprised 30% to 90% of the tumors. In addition, areas with resemblance to undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma were also noted, especially in the recurrent tumors. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells showed diffuse staining of vimentin in 6 tested cases with focal expression of smooth muscle actin and epithelial membrane antigen in 1 case each. Ki-67 index ranged from 30% to 80% (mean, 58%). Follow-up data (range, 2 to 74 months; mean, 23 months) were available in 10 cases: 4 patients were alive with unresectable or recurrent disease and 6 patients were alive with no evidence of disease. Five patients experienced local recurrence and 2 cases developed metastasis. The median interval to recurrence/metastasis was 7 months (mean, 9 months).

CONCLUSIONSThe presence of epithelioid cells in a myxofibrosarcomatous background portends an aggressive clinical behavior.EMFS should be differentiated from other myxoid sarcomas with epithelioid morphology.

Objective:To establishment an assay for HIV-1 intact proviral DNA assay through droplet digital PCR (ddPCR).Methods:DNA was extracted by culturing 8E5 cells, a Tlymphocyte cell line containing a single copy of integrated HIV-1 provirus. Serial diluting DNA were prepared by amplified 1-fold, 5-fold, 25-fold, 625-fold, 3 125-fold, and 15 625-fold across the HIV-1 Ψ region, env region, and eukaryotic chromosome 10 RPP30 regions, and the linear relationship was calculated and the minimum detection concentration. DNA solution of 5 μl, 3.1 μl, 2.5 μl was added to the ddPCR mixture respectively, with each dilution undergoing two batches of detection, and each was repeated four times. The intra-batch variation coefficient was detected, while the inter-batch variation coefficient was detected by the same DNA amount and different DNA amounts to determine the stability; 8E5 cell was used to detect the intact proviral content in cells.Results:The linear fitting goodness of Ψ region, env region and RPP30 region are R2≥0.999, R2≥0.993, R2≥0.996 in 6 dilutions of DNA, respectively. At a 3 125-fold dilution, the lowest positive droplets were detected in the Ψ region, env region and RPP30 region were 3, 2 and 2, respectively, the detected concentrations were 2.37 copies/μl, 1.21 copies/μl and 1.58 copies/μl. The ddPCR repeatability experimental detecting DNA showed that the Ψ region of the intra-batch variation coefficients ranged from 0.66% to 3.43%, with the inter-batch variation coefficients of the same DNA at 3.19%, 4.3% and 3.45% respectively, and the inter-batch variation coefficients of the different DNA at only 4.35%. The env region of the intra-batch variation coefficients ranged from 0.7% to 3.20%, with the inter-batch variation coefficients of the same DNA at 3.18%, 4.52% and 3.4% respectively, and the inter-batch variation coefficients of the different DNA at only 4.02%. The RPP30 region of the intra-batch variation coefficients ranged from 0.91% to 2.91%, with the inter-batch variation coefficients of the same DNA at 3%, 4.55% and 3.37% respectively, and the inter-batch variation coefficients of the different DNA at only 3.98%. The proportion of 8E5 cells containing defective provirus and the proportion of intact provirus were calculated to be approximately 90% and 45%, respectively. Conclusions:Droplet digital PCR used to detect HIV-1 intact proviral DNA, showed strong stability and provided a technical means for HIV-1 infection reservoir detection.

Aim To study the anti-inflammatory activ¬ity of diterpenes from Tripterygium wilfordii on lipopo- lysaccharide ( LPS)-induced macrophage and its mech¬anism. Methods MTT assay was used to detect the cytotoxicity of compounds. The Griess method was used to detect the NO on LPS-induced RAW264. 7 cells. ELISA was applied to determine the contents of inter- leukin 6 (IL-6) , tumor necrosis factor a ( TNF-a ) , interleukin lp (IL-lfj) and interleukin 18 (IL-18) in cell culture supernatant. Western blot was used to de¬tect IkBcx, .INK, ERK, p38, STAT3 and their phos-phorylation in LPS-induced RAW264.7, as well as the effect on COX-2, iNOS, NLRP3, caspase-1 , cleaved- caspase-1. Flow cytometry was employed to detect the effects of compounds on the phagocytosis of RAW 264. 7 cells. Results Hypoglicin II (1) and ent-pimara-8 (14) , 15-diene-19-ol (6) , two diterpenoid compounds from Tripterygium wilfordii could effectively inhibit the expression of inflammatory mediators ( COX-2 and iN- OS) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-lp, IL- 18) in LPS-induced RAW264. 7 cells. Further re¬search found that the phosphorylation of IkBcx , JNK, ERK, P38, STAT3 and NLRP3 was all inhibited; however, there was no significant effect on the expres¬sion of IkBcx, JNK, ERK, P38 and STAT3. At the same time, they also inhibited the phagocytosis of mac-rophages. Conclusions The anti-inflammatory mecha¬nism of Tripterygium wilfordii diterpenoids 1 and 6 might be through inhibiting the production of NLRP3 inflammatory bodies, inflammatory mediators (COX-2 and iNOS) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-lp and IL-18) , which is closely related to inhibiting the activation of MAPK, NF-kB and STAT3 pathway.
