BACKGROUND:Basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)can promote production of collagen,fibronectin and matrix enzyme in healing wounds.However,dysregulation of this process,such as the abnormal coordination of cell proliferation,extracellular.matrix and neovasculadzation formation,or remodeling of the wound matrix will lead to excess accumulation of scar tissues.OBJECTIVE:To investigate effects of bFGF on normal skin wound healing and hypertrophic scar formation.METHODS:Normal and hypertrophic scar fibroblasts from tissue biopsies from 5 patients who underwent plastic surgery for repairing hypertrophic scars were isolated and cultured.The expressions of collagen,fibronectin and protein synthesis were detected by RT-PCR and ELISA.The mitochonddal membrane potential changes were measured using JC-1 staining and flow cytometry.Simultaneously,adenosine tdphosphate(ATP)levels were determined by chemiluminescence method.The effects of bFGF on these indexes of normal and hypertrophic scar fibroblasts were observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hypertrophic scar fibroblasts become slower after being exposed to bFGF,which selectively inhibited type Ⅰ collagen production in hypertrophic scar fibroblasts(P<0.05).Although bFGF inhibited type]collagen production,it had no effect on type Ⅲ collagen expression in both normal and hypertrophic scar fibroblasts.However,fibronectin expression in the normal fibroblasts was up-reguleted after bFGF treatment(P<0.05).In addition,the mitochonddal membrane potential tended to depolarization,although no statistical difference,in hypertrophic scar fibroblasts treated with bFGF(10 or 100 μg/L).bFGF treatment increased the cellular ATP levels in the normal fibroblasts,while there were no significant alterations in the hypertrophic scar fibroblasts over a treatment of bFGF(10 or 100 μg/L,P<0.05).The results suggest that there are differential effects and mechanisms on the skin fibroblasts with bFGF treatment in normal wound healing and hypertrophic scar formation.

OBJECTIVETo explore the genetic etiology of three families affected with split-hand/split-foot malformation (SHFM).
METHODSPeripheral venous blood samples from 21 members of pedigree 1, 2 members of pedigree 2, and 2 members of pedigree 3 were collected. PCR-Sanger sequencing, microarray chip, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), real-time PCR, and next-generation sequencing were employed to screen the mutations in the 3 families. The effect of the identified mutations on the finger (toe) abnormality were also explored.
RESULTSMicroarray and real-time PCR analysis has identified a duplication in all patients from pedigrees 1 and 3, which have spanned FKSG40, TLX1, LBX1, BTRC, POLL and FBXW4 (exons 6-9) and LBX1, BTRC, POLL and FBXW4 (exons 6-9) genes, respectively. A missense mutation of the TP63 gene, namely c.692A>G (p.Tyr231Cys), was found in two patients from pedigree 2. FISH analysis of chromosome 10 showed that the rearrangement could fita tandem duplication model. However, next-generation sequencing did not identify the breakpoint.
CONCLUSIONThe genetic etiology for three families affected with SHFM have been identified, which has provideda basis for genetic counseling and guidance for reproduction.

Background: Endoscopic screening is an effective approach for detecting early gastric cancer. The interval of endoscopic surveillance should be defined based on the risk stratification of gastric cancer, so as to improve the screening efficiency. Aims: To investigate whether gastric cancer risk could be stratified according to endoscopic atrophic gastritis grading. Methods: Subjects who underwent gastroscopy at least two times between Jan. 2015 and Dec. 2019 at the 900th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force, PLA were enrolled in a retrospective study. The demographic data and information on endoscopy were recorded. The extent and degree of gastric atrophy under endoscopy was graded using Kimura-Takemoto classification system. Then the subjects were allocated into mild group (none atrophy and C-1), moderate group (C-2 and C-3) and severe group (O-1, O-2 and O-3) based on the grading. The correlation of endoscopic grading of atrophy with the risk of gastric cancer was analyzed. Results: A total of 8 736 subjects were enrolled, 4 154 were in mild group (47.6%), 2 409 in moderate group (27.6%), and 2 173 in severe group (24.9%). The mean endoscopic follow-up time was (1 052±643) d, and the mean endoscopic surveillance interval was (518±271) d. The overall coincidence rate of endoscopic diagnosis and pathological diagnosis for atrophy was 88.9%. During the follow-up period, gastric cancer was detected in 41 cases; the detection rates of mild group, moderate group and severe group were 0.07%, 0.54% and 1.15%, respectively (P<0.001). Conclusions: The risk of gastric cancer can be stratified according to the endoscopic atrophic gastritis grading, which is helpful for the decision of individualized endoscopic surveillance interval.
