OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effects of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) combined with artificial dermis grafting and autologous skin grafting on repair of open joint wounds and/or wounds with exposed bone fracture.
METHODSEleven patients with open joint wounds and/or wounds with exposed bone fracture, hospitalized from November 2008 to November 2014, were enrolled in the study. According to the differences of the first stage treatment, all patients were divided into experimental group ( n = 6, including 4 patients of open joint wounds, 1 patient of wound with exposed bone fracture, and 1 patient of open joint wound with exposed bone fracture), and control group ( n 5, including 2 patients of open joint wounds, 2 patients of wounds with exposed bone fracture, and 1 patient of open joint wound with exposed bone fracture). After debridement, the wounds in both groups were grafted with punctured artificial dermis, while NPWT was only used over the artificial dermis of experiment group for 1 week. In the operation at sacsod stage, autologous split-thickness skin was grafted on the vascularized artificial dermis in both groups. Results In 5 patients of open joint wounds in experimental group, the artificial dermis was vascularized well, autologous skin grafts survived, and wounds were healed. In 3 patients of open joint wounds in control group, the artificial dermis grafting all failed due to local infection, and then these wounds were repaired with local tissue flap grafting. Artificial dermis in 3 patients of wounds with exposed bone fracture in both groups was vascularized well after grafting, and the wounds were healed after autologous skin grafting, whether or not NPWT was used.
CONCLUSIONSNPWT combined with artificial dermis grafting and autolognus skin grafting can be used for repairing open joint wounds and/or wounds with exposed bone fracture.

AIM: To investigate the influence of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) on the anoxia cardiomyocyte apoptosis. METHODS: Using the anaerobic culture apparatus, the apoptosis of the cardiomyocytes, the BMSCs alone and co-cultured with each other were detected by morphological observation, PI staining flowcytometry, electrophoretic gel mobility analysis of DNA fragmentation. Western blotting was used to detect Bax and Bcl-2 protein expression. RESULTS: Compared with control, the BMSCs were unsensitive to anoxic cultured while the anoxic cardiomyocytes were prone to apoptosis. Apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was increased significantly, detected by PI staining and agarose gel elestrophoresis showed “DNA ladder”. However, when anoxia cardiomyocytes co-cultured with BMSCs, apoptosis cells were decreased, “DNA ladder” disappeared and the expression of protein Bax was also decreased. CONCLUSION: Bone marrow stromal cells prevent the anoxia cardiomyocytes from apoptosis, probably by suppressing the expression of Bax protein.

Objective To explore the regulation of ROS level and ROS-triggered downstream events on SK-N-MC Ewing sarcoma cells upon apoptasis induction by 2-Methoxyestradiol (2-ME). Methods To detect the reversibility of apoptosis and the alternation of activity of respiratory chain, mitechondria transmembrane potential (△ψm), and cellular ROS level and to explore their association with flow cytometry, clark oxygen electronic node analysis, drug-removal design, and permeability transition (PT) pore stablizing agent. Results SK-N-MC cells were induced to ROS-dependent apoptosis. Apoptosis occured irreversibly after2-ME treatment for 3 h. Upon 2-ME treatment, the activity of respiratory chain was inhibited and the ROS generation was accelerated; the △ψm underwent the increasing within 3h but decreasing after 3h which could be reversed by PT pore stablizing; the ROS level underwent the continuous increasing and PT pore stablizing had no obvious effect on it. Conclusion 2-ME causes the acceleration of ROS generation via inhibiting the activity of respiratory chain and elevating the level of △ψm. ROS plays a signaling role and when total ROS accumulate to a threshold, the PT pore opening and the collapse of △ψm could be induced irreversibly and cell is eventually introduced to death.

ObjectiveTo observe the characteristic of pulmonary function of children with spastic diplegia and the effects of hydrotherapy on it. Methods30 children with spastic diplegia were divided into hydrotherapy group and control group, who received hydrotherapy and routine rehabilitation or routine rehabilitation only. All patients were tested their pulmonary function and the maximum phonation time before and 2 months after treatment. The longest breath holding time in water of the hydrotherapy group were recorded. ResultsThe vital capacity (VC), expiratory reserve volume (ERV), inspiratory capacity (IC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), maximum ventilatory volume (MVV), peak expiratory flow (PEF) in all the children decreased significantly compared with the predicted value (P=0.000), but a second rate (FEV1/FVC) didn't (P=0.141). After treatment, the VC, FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, MVV, PEF values and their percentage of predicted value improved (P<0.05), as well as the maximum phonation time (P<0.05). ERV, IC values and their percentage of predicted value improved a little from pre-treatment in the control group (P>0.05), but significantly in the hydrotherapy group (P<0.05). The percentage of predicted value of VC, ERV, IC, FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, MVV, and PEF, and the maximum phonation time improved more in the hydrotherapy group than in the control (P<0.05). The longest breath holding time in water improved in the hydrotherapy group after treatment (P=0.000). ConclusionThe pulmonary function impaired in spastic diplegic children, and can be improved with the rehabilitation, especially with the hydrotherapy in addition.
