OBJECTIVE: To investigate the distribution of mast cells in nasal polyps. METHOD: Biopsy specimens from patients with nasal polyps (n = 20) and control patients (n = 8) were obtained and included in this study. The distribution of mast cells in nasal polyps and the expression of chemokines (CCL5, CCL11, CX3CL1, IL-8, IL-6) in the epithelial cells of normal nasal mucosa and nasal polyps was determined by immunohistochemistry. RESULT: Mast cells migrate to intraepithelial in nasal polyps and the expression of chemokines (CCL5, CCL11, CX3CL1, IL-8) was up regulated in the epithelial cells of nasal polyps compare to normal nasal mucosa. CONCLUSION Our findings showed that mast cells migrate to intraepithelial in nasal polyps and the over expression of chemotaxins (CCL5, CCL11, CX3CL1, IL-8) may be response for mast cells' migration in nasal polyps. Mast cells might be associated with the development of nasal polyps.

Objective:To explore the application of standardized treatment process for early enteral nutrition combined with gastric retention after operation in patients with esophageal cancer.Methods:Using convenience sampling, 84 patients with gastric retention complicated by early enteral nutrition support after esophagectomy in Department of Thoracic Surgery, Third People′s Hospital of Dalian from July 2015 to June 2020 were selected as the subjects. They were divided into control group and experimental group according to admission time with 42 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing, while the experimental group received early enteral nutrition and gastric retention standardized treatment process nursing. The differences between the two groups in nutritional status and immune indexes before and 7 days after operation, the standard feeding rate within 7 days after operation, incidence of postoperative complications and enteral nutrition-related complications, length of hospitalization time and hospitalization expenses were compared.Results:In the control group, 2 cases were lost to follow-up. There was no statistically significant difference in preoperative nutritional status and immune indexes between the two groups ( P<0.05); 7 days after operation, the body mass index, serum total protein, prealbumin, nitrogen balance, IgM, CD3, CD4, and CD4/CD8 of the experimental group were all higher than those of the control group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t values were 2.228-5.332, P<0.05 or 0.01).The standard feeding rate within 7 days was (68.93±8.12)% in the experimental group and (51.19±6.96)% in the control group, respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t value was -4.38, P<0.01). The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, Ⅱ B healing, anastomotic fistula and aspiration was 2.38% (1/42), 2.38% (1/42) and 0 (0/42), 2.38% (1/42) in the experimental group and 15.00%(6/40), 7.50% (3/40) and 5.00% (2/40) and 10.00% (4/40) in the control group, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 values were 5.99 - 9.88, P< 0.05 or 0.01). The length of hospitalization time in the experimental group was (10.18±1.69) d, and the hospitalization cost was (53 268.46 ±3 651.56) yuan, both lower than (13.66 ± 2.18) d and (64 972.39 ± 4 029.81) yuan in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 2.14, 2.89, P< 0.05). Conclusions:The standardized treatment process of enteral nutrition combined with gastric retention can improve the feeding rate, nutritional index and immune index within 7 days after operation, reduce postoperative complications and incidence of enteral nutrition related complications, reduce the hospitalization time and reduce hospitalization expenses.

Objective　To evaluate the safety and efficacy of antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP) during aortic arch surgery as a means of extending the safe period of systemic circulatory arrest using multimodality neuromonitoring to objectively quantify the physiologic responses. Methods　In twenty-two patients (all less than age 60) scheduled for repair of an aortic arch aneurysm, preoperative verification of effective collateral perfusion through both the carotid and vertebrobasilar arterial systems was documented with transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD). During cardiopulmonary bypass, the sole arterial inflow from the pump was via the right subclavian artery. The magnitude of ASCP was quantified by TCD using peak middle cerebral artery velocity, while flow adequacy was measured by continuous regional cerebrovenous oxygen saturation (rSO2) using dual-wavelength spatially resolved near-infrared spectroscopy. Results　All patients experienced an uneventful recovery. Flow in the middle cerebral artery became undetectable at ASCP < 5*!ml*kg-1*min-1, so adjustments from a 15-20*!ml*kg-1*min-1 baseline were used to maintain rSO2 above 50%. Furthermore, ASCP flow was highly correlated (P<0.01) with both peak middle cerebral artery velocity and rSO2 (r=0.86 and 0.96, respectively). Conclusion　Neuromonitoring guided ASCP may be expected to extend the safe period and is at least partly responsible for the absence of neurologic complications in this patient cohort.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effect of valproic acid (VPA) in combination with low dose chemotherapy on intermediate and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. Methods A total of 41 patients with intermediate (34) and high-risk (7) myelodysplastic syndrome were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 19 patients received low dose chemotherapy regimen and 22 received low dose chemotherapy plus VPA.Low dose chemotherapy regimen included: homoharringtonine,1-2 mg·m-2·d-1 intravenously,14-28 d; clarubicin,5-7 mg·m-2·-1 intravenously,1-8 d,15-23 d;cytarabine 15 mg/m2 subcutaneously once every 12 h, 14-21 d; and subcutaneously use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor 200 μg·m-2·d -1 when neutrophil deficiency.The outcome and adverse effect were recorded after the treatment. Results The overall response rate in the low dose chemotherapy regimen group was 47.4% (9/19), 6 patients (31.6%) achieved complete response (CR). The overall response rate in the VPA group was 77.2% (17/22), 9 patients (40.9%) achieved CR. The overall response rate of the low dose chemotherapy in combination with VPA group was significantly higher than that in the low dose chemotherapy group (P＜0.05) while no difference was found in CR rate. The adverse effect of the low dose chemotherapy in combination with VPA regimen was tolerated. Conclusion With acceptable adverse effect, the low dose chemotherapy in combination with VPA regimen is effective for the treatment of intermediate and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. Long-term outcome needs further investigation.

Objective To compare the different doses of low-temperature plasma (LTP) on wound healing in BALB/c mice so as to discuss the effects of the optimal dose of low-temperature plasma dealing with wound in mice and the acting mechanism of wound healing.Methods Adoptatmospheric pressure plasma jet discharged by the dielectric barrier was used to treat mouse skin wound.According to the processing time, the wounds were divided into 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s experimental groups, while naturally healing wounds served as negative controls and the wounds dealt with recombinant human epidermal growth factor served as positive controls.We recorded the wound size every day, observed the histopathological changes, the expression level of type Ⅰ collagen by immunofluorescence, and analyzed the composition of low-temperature plasma jet.Results The wounds with plasma treatment time of 10s, 20s, 30s, and 40s showed significant daily improvement and almost complete closure at days 12, 10, 7, 13, respectively.However, the wounds with plasma treatment time of 50s remained unhealed atday 14.The wounds in positive control group all healed, and the wound healing effect in positive control group could be achieved in 30s group.HE staining and immunofluorescence staining assays showed the optimal result of epidermal cell regeneration, granulation tissue hyperplasia, and collagen deposition in histological aspect at day 7 in 30 s group.The low-temperature plasma jet contained highly reactive free radicals of nitrogen and oxygen, which play an important role in wound healing process.Conclusion Appropriate doses of cold plasma can accelerate wound healing whereas over-doses of plasma can suppress wound healing.The process of wound healing may be related to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in LTP.

Objective To observe the prevalence of hyperuricemia(HUA)among obese children,and to ex-plore the association between uric acid(UA)levels and cardiometabolic risk factors,acanthosis nigricans and non - al-cohol fatty liver disease(NAFLD). Methods By using representative sampling method,1 753 obese children aged 6 -17 years old from 18 schools in 3 districts of Beijing(Xicheng,Haidian,Miyun)were selected to participate in the clini-cal examinations,including anthropometric measurements(height,weight)and blood pressure. Serum biochemical pa-rameters were assessed,including fasting plasma glucose(FPG),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high - densi-ty lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL - C),low - density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL - C)and UA. Acanthosis nigricans and B - model ultrasonography of the liver were conducted. Results The prevalence of hypertension,impaired fasting glu-cose,dyslipidemia,acanthosis nigricans,and NAFLD among these 1 753 obese children was 33. 6%(589 cases), 66. 5%(1 156 cases),54. 3%(943 cases),23. 3%(408 cases),and 17. 0%(298 cases),respectively. The preva-lence of HUA was 40. 70%(714 / 1 753 cases),with 50. 17%(581 / 1 158 cases)in boys and 22. 34%(133 / 595 ca-ses)in girls. There was a significant increase in body mass index,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure, FPG,TG and LDL - C with the increase of UA,but there was a decrease in HLD - C with the increase of UA(all P ﹤0. 05). In boys,the adjusted odds ratios( OR)and 95% CI of the highest quartile of UA for hypertension,impaired fasting glucose,dyslipidemia,acanthosis nigricans,and NAFLD were 1. 16(0. 77 - 1. 74),1. 34(0. 90 - 1. 99),1. 29 (0. 89 - 1. 87),1. 89(1. 17 - 3. 04),and 1. 71(1. 03 - 2. 84),respectively;in girls,the adjusted OR and 95% CI of the highest quartile of UA for hypertension,impaired fas-ting glucose,dyslipidemia,acanthosis nigricans,and NAFLD was 0. 70(0. 40 - 1. 24),0. 60(0. 40 - 1. 00),1. 69(1. 04 - 2. 70),1. 67(0. 80 - 3. 49),and 1. 33(0. 48 - 3. 66),re-spectively. Conclusions The prevalence of HUA is relatively high in obese children and there is a strong association between UA and some car-diovascular metabolic disorders,acanthosis nigricans and NAFLD.

Objective To explore the effects of Chinese herbal compound Tangbikang on the expressions of p38 MAPK of sciatic nerve and plasma TNF-α in diabetic rats. Methods Ten of the sixty male SD rats were selected randomly as normal group, and the rest were fed with high-fat diet and low-dosage STZ was used to induce type Ⅱdiabetic rat models. Model rats were randomly divided into model group, mecobalamine group and Tangbikang low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups, 10 rats in each group. Each medication group was intervened with relevant medicine. Rat unilaterals sciatic nerves were taken after 16 weeks. The content of TNF-α in plasma was determined by radioimmunoassay. Western blot method was used to detect the expressions of p38 and p-p38 MAPK protein of sciatic nerve. Results Compared with normal group, the expressions of p38 and p-p38 protein and content of TNF-αin model group significantly increase (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the expressions of p-p38 protein and the content of TNF-α significantly decreased after medicine intervention in different doses Tangbikang groups and mecobalamin group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The expression of p38 protein in Tangbikang high-dose group significantly decreased (P<0.05), with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Tangbikang can reduce the expression of p38 and p-p38 MAPK protein of the rat sciatic nerve, and reduce the content of TNF-α protein in rat plasma, which may be one of the effective targets of neuroprotection and abirritation of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
