Objective To evaluate the clinical results of femoral-deep femoral crossover bypass in the treatment of long-segment unilateral iliac artery occlusive disease.Methods From July 1995 to December 2010,40 patients (28 males,12 females,aged from 66 to 90,with mean age of 73) with comprehensive unilateral iliac-superficial femoral arteriosclerosis obliterans were enrolled in this procedure.All patients suffered from unilateral common iliac,external iliac,common femoral,and superficial femoral arteriosclerosis obliterans.These patients were treated with femoral-deep femoral crossover bypass.Postoperative ankle-brachial index,blood flow velocity and patency rates in 5,7 and 10 years and limb salvage rates in 5,7 and 10 years were evaluated.Results There was no perioperative mortality nor extremity amputation.35 (87.5％ ) patients were followed-up from 1 to 13 years (mean 5.7 y).Anklebrachial index rose from preoperative 0.23 ± 0.10 to postoperative 0.55 ± 0.11 (t =15.91,P =0.000 ).Popliteal arterial velocity rose from preoperative ( 14 ±6) cm/s to postoperative (34 ± 10) cm/s (t =15.63,P =0.000) ; Tibial arterial velocity rose from ( 10 ±4) cm/s to (22 ±7) cm/s (t =15.71,P =0.000).The primary and secondary patency rates were 60.1％,44.3％,25.3％,and 93.5％,86.8％,57.9％ at 5,7 and 10 years,respectively.Limb salvage rates were 97.5％,95％,and 90％,at 5,7 and 10 years,respectively.Conclusions Femoral-deep femoral crossover bypass is safe and reliable in treating certain unilateral iliofemoral occlusive disease,especially for high-risk old patients or those who are not indicated for endovascular therapies or direct aortic approaches.

Objective To explore the biological properties of keratinocytes from differently-aged healthy human beings. Methods Keratinocytes from fetus, teenager and middle-aged groups were separated and cultured. The population doubling time (PDT) and cell growth curve in different cells were compared, and the cell cycles were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results ① In primary culture of keratinocytes, the adherence time in middle-aged group was longer than that in fetus and teenager groups. However, all cell morphology showed no obvioas differences. In subculture of kecatinocytes, with donator's age increasing, time of cell adherence prolonged, passage number decreused and differences in cell morphology were obrioas. ② The average PDT of keratinocytes was shorter in fetus group than in teenager and middle-aged groups. Bat difference in cell growth curve between different passages was not observed. ③ Keratinocytes showed G2/M period in fetus group but G0/G1 period in teenager and middle-aged groups mainly. Conclusion As age increases, the biological properties of keratinocytes change obviously.

To study the value of high-fluorescent cell for the screening of malignant hydrothorax or ascites. The clinical diagnosis results and hydrothorax or ascites specimens of 400 outpatients registered from January to December in 2014 were collected, and high-fluorescent cells were counted with Sysmex XE-5000 blood cell analyzer, and then stained for microscopy. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to explore the sensitivity, speci-ficity, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio of high-fluorescent cell for screening malignant hydrothorax or ascites. The numbers of high-fluorescent cells of the cancer patients were significantly higher than those of the non-cancer patients, with Z equal to -7.372 and P less than 0.05. The values of the area under curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio were 0.801, 70.67%, 84.31%, 4.50 and 0.35 respective-ly. Detection of high-fluorescent may be used to screen malignant hydrothorax or ascites, and further exami-nation and follow-up have to be performed in case the number of high-fluorescent cells in the hydrothorax or ascites is not less than 68.

Objective:To study the effect of rotational errors on the positioning accuracy (PA) and to assess whether correcting rotation in patients with head-neck tumors in radiotherapy or not.Methods:The image information of 34 patients with head-neck tumors treated at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University between August 2019 and January 2020 was collected. Mega-voltage computed tomography (MVCT) images of each patient were taken before radiotherapy, and were registered with planned kilo-voltage computed tomography (KVCT) images by two registration methods. All information was divided into control group (translation only) and intervention group (translation and rotation) according to different registration methods, there were 144 fractioned registered images for each group, respectively. The position errors of the two registration methods were recorded and compared. Data were carried out with Wilcoxon signed rank test and Spearman rank correlation.Results:Translational errors of the control group and the intervention group were 0.10 (5.35) mm and 0.00 (5.78) mm in right-left direction, and there was a statistically significant difference ( Z=-2.675, P=0.007); 0.75 (2.78) mm and 0.60 (2.68) mm in superior-inferior direction, and there was a statistically significant difference ( Z=-2.819, P=0.005); 0.10 (0.90) mm and 0.20 (1.28) mm in anterio-posterior direction, and there was a statistically significant difference ( Z=-3.984, P<0.001). Rotational errors of the intervention group were -0.20 (0.60)°, 0.35 (2.00)°, 0.00 (0.98)° in pitch, roll, yaw, respectively. The distribute of 3D vector corrected frequency for two groups was positively skewed. The corrected cumulative frequency (CCF) varied with 3D vector, 3D vector was 8.0 mm, and 19 F and 16 F fractioned treatments of the control group and the intervention group were not corrected, respectively; 3D vector was between 8.0-13.5 mm, the corrected tendency of the intervention group was slower and fractioned treatment was completed later. The analytical results of Spearman rank correlation showed that rotational errors in pitch were negatively correlated with translational errors of the control group in superior-inferior direction ( r=-0.182, P=0.029) and the intervention group in anterio-osterior direction ( r=-0.484, P<0.001); rotational errors in roll were negatively correlated with translational errors of the intervention group in right-left direction ( r=-0.334, P<0.001); rotational errors in yaw which were positively correlated with translational errors of the intervention group in right-left direction ( r=0.370, P<0.001) were negatively correlated with translational errors of the control group in superior-inferior direction ( r=-0.171, P=0.040) and the same was true for the intervention group ( r=-0.203, P=0.015); total angles were positively correlated and negatively correlated with translational errors of the control group in superior-inferior direction ( r=0.246, P=0.003) and anterio-posterior direction ( r=-0.188, P=0.024), and positively correlated with 3D vector of the control group ( r=0.198, P=0.017), total angles were positively correlated with translational errors of the intervention group in superior-inferior direction ( r=0.170, P=0.041) and with 3D vector of the intervention group ( r=0.239, P=0.004); there were no correlations between rotational errors and the other translational errors (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Although the corrected rotation increases translational errors in anterio-posterior direction and 3D vector, it improves PA for head-neck tumors in radiotherapy. When rotational errors are not corrected, rotational offsets are present with corrected translation to decrease its effect on PA.

Objective To investigate thymidylate synthase on pemetrexed treatment of lung adenocarcinoma effect relationship.Methods The 60 patients with lung adenocarcinoma in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2016 were selected as the research subjects.They were treated with pemetrexed.According to the clinical efficacy,they were divided into the effective group (n =27) and ineffective group (n =33) after 3 courses of treatment.The levels of thymidylate synthase (thymidylate synthase,TS),TS mRNA expression,and the expression of TS protein in the tumor tissues of two groups were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay (ELISA),fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR),and immunohistochemistry.The relationship between TS level and pemetrexed in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma was investigated.Results The level of ST in peripheral blood of the effective group was significantly lower than ineffective group.The objective response rate and protein of ST gene low expression were significantly higher than high expression of ST.Conclusions The level of thymidylate synthase in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung is related to the therapeutic effect of pemetrexed in the treatment of adenocarcinoma of the lung.It can be used as a molecular marker to evaluate the clinical efficacy of pemetrexed in the treatment of patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective To investigate the effects of acitretin on T helper cell (Th) 1/Th2 balance and Th17 cells in psoriasis vulgaris (PV) patients. Methods A total of 13 men and 17 women with PV were investigated. 10 mg of acitretin was administered twice a day for 8 weeks for intervention therapy. Serum levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-17 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. T, Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells in skin biopsies were counted with double-labeled immunofluorescence. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score was calculated before and 8 weeks after treatment. Results Before treatment PV patients had higher serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-17, and increased T, Th1 and Th17 cells in skin biopsies. After treatment, both serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-17, and T, Th1 and Th17 cells infiltrating in PV skin decreased significantly. Th1/Th2 balance was restored to normal. However, their IL-4 and Th2 cells showed no significant change throughout the therapy. Conclusion Acitretin exerts influence on dermal Th1/Th2 balance and Th17 cell infiltration, so does it on production of systematic inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ and IL-17 in PV patients. However, Th2 cells and its derivative cytokine-IL-4 are not affected.
