Objective To discuss features of angiogenesis in degenerative intervertebral disc and related factors.Methods In this case-control study,52 patients undergoing single level posterior lumbar interbody fusion during October 2012 to December 2013 were selected as research objects.Annulus fibrosus,nucleus pulposus and cartilage end plate of responsible level were collected in surgery for frozen section and HE staining.Angiogenesis in the intervertebral disc was identified according to the morphological characteristics of vascular endothelial cells,i.e.typical lumen structure and blue stained nucleus.These intervertebral disc specimens were divided into two groups according to the angiogenesis phenomenon.All specimens with angiogenesis were evaluated by blood micro-vessel density (MVD) counting.Related factors of angiogenesis including gender,age,VAS score,JOA lumbar score,classification of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration,intervertebral disc calcification rate and classification of intervertebral disc herniation were compared between the two groups.Logistic regression analysis was further conducted on indicators with differences of statistical significance.Results In our group of 52 patients,28 patients had obvious angiogenesis:12 patients in annulus fibrosus,7 patients in cartilage endplate and 9 patients in annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus.Angiogenesis rate was 53.8％ (28/52).The mean value of MVD was 12.5±3.1.24 patients did not have obvious angiogenesis.Intervertebral disc calcification rate (75.0％ vs.37.5％),VAS score (6.79±2.06 vs.5.25±2.23) and JOA lumbar score (16.32±3.89 vs.19.08±4.24) were significant differences between two groups (P=0.006,0.013,0.018).Multi-factor regression analysis showed that VAS score (OR=7.248,P=0.011) and intervertebral disc calcification (OR=8.881,P=0.006) were important factors associated with intervertebral disc angiogenesis.JOA lumbar score (OR=3.739,P=0.070) was not associated with intervertebral disc angiogenesis.Conclusion Degeneration of the intervertebral disc is accompanied by angiogenesis.Intervertebral disc calcification and VAS score are important factors associated with angiogenesis in intervertebral disc.

A technique of diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) was developed for the in situ measurement of reactive phosphorus species in natural waters, sediments and potentially soils. Polyacrylamide / basic magnesium carbonate was used as the novel binding phase of DGT. Various factors, such as initial concentration, deployment time, pH and ionic strength, which may affect the adsorption of phosphate to the DGT were investigated. H2 SO4(0. 25 mol/ L, 10 mL) was used for elution of phosphate from the binding gel, and an elution efficiency of 85±5% was obtained. The DGT measurement was independent of ionic strength (0. 001-0. 05 mol/ L) and pH (4. 10-9. 15). The results indicated that the maximum adsorption capacities of DGT were limited to 20. 4 μg per disc ( T = 25℃, pH = 7. 00, [ P] = 2 mg / L). Good agreement was obtained between the measurement results of DGT method and molybdenum blue method in the P concentration from 0. 001 to 20 mg / L. The method detection limit (MDL) was 102. 4 ng / L. Field performances of DGT in synthetic seawater, the coastal seawater of Xiamen, Lake Yihai, Lake Chaohu and Nanfei River indicated that the basic magnesium carbonate-DGT method was more reliable than the commonly used ferrihydrite-DGT method.

Objective:To analyze the medication law of Professor Li Fazhi in the prescriptions for the treatment of cough; To explore his academic thoughts.Methods:Medical cases of Professor Li about the treatment for cough from January 1, 2015 to October 31, 2022 were collected. Excel2016 and R language 4.2.1 were used to conduct multidimensional analysis on property and taste, and meridians of drugs. High-frequency efficacy classification was explored through factor analysis, clustering analysis was conducted to distinguish drug groups, and time-lapse analysis on proportion and meridian was conducted on high-frequency drugs.Results:4 746 prescriptions involved 270 kinds of Chinese materia medica, with a total frequency of 57 700 times. The most common property and taste was warm, followed by cold. Warm medicines were mainly pungent warm and cold warm, and cold medicines were mainly pungent cold, sweet cold and bitter cold, and the main meridians were lung, spleen, stomach, and liver meridians. The top 35 kinds of Chinese materia medica with frequency could be clustered into 9 groups. Group 1: Perillae Fructus, Armeniacae Semen Amarum and Ephedrae Herba; group 2: Magnoliae Flosmagnoliae Flos, Cicadae Periostracum and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma; group 3: Peucedani Radix, Platycodonis Radix, Mori Cortex, Schizonepetae Herba, Saposhnikoviae Radix and Farfarae Flos; group 4: Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix, Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Astragali Radix, Cimicifugae Rhizoma and Coptidis Rhizoma; group 5: Coicis Semen, Phragmitis Rhizoma, Persicae Semen and Benincasae Semen; group 6: Perillae Folium; group 7: Bupleuri Radix, Mume Fructus, Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, Scutellariae Radix and Paeoniae Radix Alba; group 8: Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Zingiberis Rhizoma, Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus and Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum cum Alumine; group 9: Poria and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle. The time-lapse analysis showed that the proportion of drugs used in the past three years such as Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle, Poria and Aurantii Fructus was gradually increasing.Conclusions:Professor Li's treatment of cough focuses on the lungs, spleen, and stomach. Clinical medication emphasizes the combination of ascending and descending factors, as well as the use of cold and warm. In recent years, there has been a greater emphasis on treating cough from the middle energizer.

Melanoma is a highly invasive and lethal skin malignant tumor derived from melanocytes. It has the characteristics of high early metastasis and high mortality. In recent years, with the in-depth study of the pathogenesis of melanoma, it has been found that epigenetic modification, especially DNA methylation, is considered to be a universal intrinsic feature of melanoma development and evolution. This article reviews the research progress of abnormal DNA methylation genes in melanoma in detail, and summarizes the biomarker effect of DNA methylation genes, suggesting that the detection of abnormal DNA methylation genes in melanoma patients is hopeful as an early screening index and diagnostic marker for melanoma patients.

In the special period of COVID-19’s epidemic situation, plastic surgeons are subordinate first and foremost to the national situation and assume the duties that doctors have to cope with in the fight against the epidemic. At the same time, conditions have been created for the provision of professional services to patients who have to undergo emergency plastic treatment, while ensuring the safety of the epidemic. The forum has two components: (1) Presentation of the experience of representative medical institutions in the emergency plastic treatment in a safe manner to prevent epidemics and the safety measures for plastic work in the normal environment of epidemic prevention. (2) A reflection by the plastic surgeons on the professional characteristics and problems at this extraordinary time, and a discussion of the factors affecting the future of plastic surgery industry.
