This study investigated the role of Echinococcus multilocularis vesicle-derived extracellular vesicles(EVs)con-taining emu-miR-10-5p in regulating HSC activation in vitro.Mice were injected intraperitoneally with protoscoleces to con-struct a secondary alveolar echinococcosis model,and E.multilocularis vesicles were cultured in mice and identified by PCR.The EV structure in cultured vesicle tissue was observed by transmission electron microscopy.EVs were isolated from vesicle culture supernatants through differential-ultracentrifugation,and identified by transmission electron microscopy,nanoparticle size analysis,and western blotting.The activity of HSCs treated with different EV concentrations was detected with CCK-8 assays.The expression levels of α-SMA,and collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ were detected by RT-qPCR and western blotting after EV treatment of HSCs.Bioinformatics analysis identified the specific miRNA emu-miR-10-5p.The proliferation of HSCs was detected with EdU after overexpression of emu-miR-10-5p,and the expression levels of α-SMA,collagen Ⅰ,and collagen Ⅲ in cells were detected by RT-qPCR and western blotting.Detection of α-SMA,collagen Ⅰ,and collagen Ⅲ expression levels in HSCs was performed after EVs were extracted from the culture supernatant of vesicular tissues with emu-miR-10-5p knockdown.E.multilocularis vesicles were successfully cultured from focal material in mice,and the E.multilocularis origin was confirmed through PCR amplification of specific genes.TEM observation of culture vesicles in-dicated abundant surface vesicular structures.E.multilocularis vesicle-derived EVs were isolated by differential-ultracentrifu-gation,and confirmed by TEM to be spherical and membrane like-structures.Vesicle-derived EVs were internalized by HSCs,and promoted the proliferation and activation of HSCs.Comprehensive analysis of miRNA sequencing results revealed emu-miR-10-5p expression in E.multilocularis-infected mouse serum,metacestode tissue,E.multilocularis-derived EVs,germi-nal layer cells,and protoscoleces.Moreover emu-miR-10-5p was confirmed to be present in higher amounts in E.multilocu-laris-derived EVs,according to RT-qPCR.Further studies confirmed that overexpression of emu-miR-10-5p promoted HSC proliferation and increased α-SMA,collagen Ⅰ,and collagen Ⅲ mRNA and protein expression levels in HSCs.In contrast,EVs extracted from culture supernatants after emu-miR-10-5p knockdown in vesicles did not increase a-SMA,collagen Ⅰ,and colla-gen Ⅲ mRNA and protein expression levels.E.multilocularis vesicle-derived EVs and emu-miR-10-5p thus promote the acti-vation of HSCs.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical effectiveness of transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy (TUSV) combined with finasteride in the treatment of recurrent hemospermia.

METHODSThis study included 32 patients with recurrent hematospermia, with the disease course of 3 months to 4 years. After administration of finasteride at 5 mg/d for 2 weeks, the patients underwent TUSV for both exploration of the causes and treatment, followed by medication with finasteride at the same dose for another 2 weeks. Postoperative follow-up was conducted for observation of the outcomes and complications.

RESULTSTUSV was successfully accomplished in all the 32 cases, which revealed 16 cases of seminal vesiculitis, 10 seminal calculi, 1 seminal vesicle cyst, 2 seminal vesicle polyps, and 3 seminal vesicle abscess. The operative time was 20 to 51 (31.0 +/- 5.2) minutes. Postoperative complications included 1 case of acute epididymitis and 3 cases of breast discomfort within the first 4 weeks. No incontinence, urethral stricture, rectal injury, retrograde ejaculation, and sexual dysfunction occurred postoperatively. All the patients but 1 were followed up for 6 months to 2 years. Twenty-nine of the cases were cured, and 2 experienced recurrence.

CONCLUSIONTransurethral seminal vesiculoscopy combined with finasteride is safe and effective for the treatment of recurrent hemospermia.

Little is known about the non-structural protein 6(NSP6)of rotavirus.This report describes expression of the NSP6 of a group A human rotavirus strain TB-Chen in bacteria,and its immunological properties and cellular distribution.The results showed that the recombinant NSP6(rNSP6)was expressed in high efficiency without any other proteins fused(possesses about 34.2% of total bacterial proteins).rNSP6 elicited mono-specific antibodies in immunized guinea pigs and the antibodies could react with the rNSP6 itself and the viral NSP6 proteins synthesized in SA11-or Wa-infected MA104 cells in Western blot and immunofluorescence assay.The NSP6 distributed evenly in the cytoplasm mainly around the nucleus of virus-infected cells,no viroplasm-like gathering observed;The top amount of NSP6 synthesized in SA11-infected cells or Wa-infected cells could be detected at 12h after infection.This is the first report about the high expression of entire NSP6(without any other proteins fused)in prokaryotic expression system and detection of NSP6 synthesis in virus infected cells by immunofluorescence assay.The results are important to understand the structure,biological properties and further application of the NSP6.

AIM:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of "one-stitch anastomosis through the skin" repair of canalicular laceration.METHODS:The data of 32 cases (32 eyes) of canalicular laceration who underwent repair of lacerated canaliculi with one-stitch anastomosis through the skin were retrospectively reviewed, inferior canalicular laceration in 29 patients,superior canalicular laceration in 1 patient, 2 cases involving both the inferior and superior canalicular laceration. All the operations were performed under surgical microscope, 5-0 silk sutures were used and silicone tube of 0.8mm diameter was employed in intubation. The stents were left in place for 3 months postoperatively and then removed. The follow-up period was 1 to 36 months.RESULTS: In 32 patients, 28 (88%)patients were cured entirely, 3 (9%)patients were meliorated, and 1 (3%)patient had no effects. A total of 29 patients complied with scheduled follow up 1-36 months (average 12 months) after stent removal, and 3 patients were lost in follow-up. All the patients had got good recovery of eyelid laceration with no traumatic deformity in eyelid and canthus.CONCLUSION: In "one-stitch anastomosis through the skin"repair of canalicular laceration, the cut ends could be anastomosed directly,for there was no suture remained in the wound permanently, so there was no suture-related granuloma which might cause obstruction or stenosis of canaliculi. It was simple, economical ,effective and safe.

OBJECTIVETo investigate surgical methods and therapeutic effects of giant cell tumor of tendon sheath in finger.

METHODSFrom July 2002 to December 2010,70 patients with giant cell tumor of tendon sheath in finger which confirmed by operation and pathology,were retrospectively analyzed. There were 29 males,41 females with an average of 42 years (ranged, 16 to 61), and the course of disease ranged form 4 months to 6 years (mean 11 months). The method of surgery and anesthesia were observed.

RESULTSAll wounds were got stage I healing,no necrosis occurred. Vascular crisis occurred in 6 cases (8.6%), inconformity of diagnosis in 18 cases (25.7%), changing of anesthesia due to situation of tumor in operation in 17 cases (24.3%). The patients were followed up from 2.2 to 10.5 years. Among them, 8 cases (11.4%) recurred, and diagnosied by the second operation without malignant change.

CONCLUSIONThe best anesthesia for giant cell tumor in finger should choose brachial plexus to fully expose,complete resection and less harmful damage; while the operation should complete resection at the stage I, and followed up actively, the second operation can be carried out for recorrenced.
