Objective To investigate the clinlic therapeutic result of detenial sigmoid neobladder after radical cystectomy. Methods 50 patients with bladder cancer (41 males and 9 females;age range from 35 to 82 years) were admitted and underwent radical cystectomy and detenial sigmoid neobladder. Results All the 50 patients were followed up for a mean of 18.6 months(range from 6 to 29 months).The blood Cr and BUN levels were both in the normal range without acidosis in all the cases.Only 2 had unilateral ureteral urine reflux during cystography.Of the 50 patients 45 cases(90%) achieved continence during daytime;10 cases(20%) were incontinent at night,but 8 of the 10 cases could control urination by being woken up at night.The capacity of the neobladder was 220 to 550 ml with a mean of 350 ml and the maximal pressure of the neobladder during filling was 15 to 55 cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa) with a mean of 35 cmH 2O. Conclusions As a simple operation the detenial sigmoid neobladder can be performed easily with less complications and more reliable results.This operation may be generally applied in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND:Modern research shows that Drynaria can delay celldegeneration and reduce the incidence of osteoarthritis. OBJECTIVE:To observe the proliferation and differentiation of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells induced by different dosages of Drynaria freeze-dried powder, and to explore the optimum induction concentration. METHODS:Rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured in vitro by density gradient centrifugation and adherence screening methods, and then divided into blank group, positive control group (transforming growth factorβ1), high-, middle-, low-dosage Drynaria groups (0.4 mg, 0.1 mg, 5μg). Passage 3 cells were selected and cultured in different media. After 1 week, cellviability was detected by MTT method, and expression of type II col agen by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Both transforming growth factorβ1 and Drynaria could improve the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and the increase in cellproliferation was ranked as fol ows:positive control group>low-dosage group>middle-dosage group>high-dosage group>blank group. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were differentiated into chondrocytes under induction of transforming growth factorβ1 and Drynaria, and induced cells significantly expressed type II col agen. The expression of type II col agen was ranked as fol ows:positive control group>low-dosage group>middle-dosage group>high-dosage group>blank group. These findings suggest that Drynaria can promote the proliferation and differentiation of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and the optimal dosage is 5μg.

Objective:To explore the relationship of lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 (LFA-3, CD58) expression in glioma with clinical features and its role in clinical prognosis. Methods:Clinical data and mRNA microarray data of 514 patients with glioma were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas and were used to study the expression of LFA-3 (CD58). Cox regression was used to analyze the relationship between CD58 expression and survival of patients with glioma. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to further analyze the relationship of CD58 with age, sex, and pathological grade of glioma. Results:The results of the stratified χ2 test of CD58 expression and tumor grading were shown, considering tumor type, gender and age of diagnosis (all P<0.05). CD58 expression was sig-nificantly correlated with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with glioma. Patients with high CD58 expres-sion presented short OS and DFS (P<0.0001). Conclusion:CD58 possibly promotes tumorigenesis in gliomas and thus can serve as a potential tumor diagnostic marker and individual therapeutic target.

The mitochondria-targeted TPP-PEI-LND was synthesized by mitochondria-targeted ligand triphenylphosphine(TPP)and therapeutic drug lonidamine(LND)conjugated to low molecular weight branched polyethyleneimine(PEI). TPP-PEI-LND was verified using 1H NMR; in vitro release was determined by the dialysis. Besides, the cytotoxicity and mitochondria-targeted potential of TPP-PEI-LND were investigated in HeLa cells. The results showed that TPP-PEI-LND was successfully synthesized and it exhibited the feature of extended-release. Hence, TPP-PEI-LND could deliver LND to mitochondria, resulting in significantly enhanced efficacy of LND.

Background: Aberrant Bcl-2 transcription is closely related with nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), however, the relationship between Bcl-2 and primary gastrointestinal DLBCL (PGI-DLBCL) was not fully studied.Aims: To investigate the relationship between Bcl-2 gene amplification and protein expression and clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotype and prognosis of PGI-DLBCL.Methods: Clinical data was collected from 136 PGI-DLBCL patients receiving surgical treatment, and a telephone interview was conducted for survival information.Bcl-2 gene amplification and protein expression in tumor tissue were determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization and immuno-histochemistry, respectively, and relationships between Bcl-2 and clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotype and prognosis of PGI-DLBCL were analyzed.Results: Among 136 PGI-DLBCL patients, 33 (24.3%) showing gene amplification and 90 (66.2%) showing protein expression of Bcl-2;gene amplification was correlated with primary tumor location, Ann Arbor stage, serum lactate dehydrogenase level, B symptom and International Prognostic Index (IPI) score (P<0.05), while protein expression was correlated with primary tumor location and immunophenotype (P<0.05).5-year overall survival (OS) in patients positive for Bcl-2 gene amplification and patients with non-GCB immunophenotype and positive for Bcl-2 protein expression were inferior to those negative ones (41.5%vs.71.5%, P<0.05;54.6% vs.84.6%, P<0.05).In Bcl-2 gene amplification or protein expression positive patients, 5-year OS of CHOP chemotherapy was inferior to that of rituximab combined with CHOP chemotherapy (48.6%vs.80.3%, P<0.05;66.4%vs.83.4%, P<0.05).Conclusions: Detection of Bcl-2 gene amplification is useful for prediction of prognosis in PGI-DLBCL.Both patients with Bcl-2 gene amplification and non-GCB patients with Bcl-2 protein expression have a poorer prognosis.Rituximab may improve the prognosis in patients with Bcl-2 gene amplification or protein expression.

Liver fibrosis is a major disease that affects human health. Currently,drugs used for the treatment of hepatic fibrosis have such problems as low drug solubility,lack of liver specificity and possible occurrence of side-effects. In order to improve the anti-fibrosis therapeutic efficacy,various nano-drug delivery systems and targeting strategies are explored in liver fibrosis therapy. This review summarizes the drug delivery systems and targeting strategies that have been applied to liver fibrosis therapy in recent years from the types of carriers and modified ligands,which serve as a basis of designing safe and effective drug delivery systems for liver fibrosis therapy.

Objective:To analyze the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with case-based learning (CBL) and clinical pathway (CP) teaching methods in standardized residency training in department of hepatobiliary surgery.Methods:A total of 64 residents who received the standardized residency training in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery in Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital from July 2018 to July 2019 were selected and divided into the observation group and the control group. The control group used PBL + CBL teaching methods, while the observation group adopted PBL + CBL + CP teaching methods. The after-department examination scores and the teaching cognition scores of the two groups were compared. SPSS 15.0 was used for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:The after-department examination scores of the two groups were compared. Compared with the control group, the examination scores of professional theories, case analysis and operation skills in the observation group were significantly higher, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 6.98, 7.85, 7.01, P < 0.05). In terms of recognition of teaching, the observation group was significantly higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 9.14, P < 0.05). Conclusion:The PBL + CBL + CP teaching is conducive to the comprehensive and systematic mastery of knowledge and the rapid establishment of scientific clinical thinking. It has a strong scientific and systematic nature and is worthy of promotion.

Objective:To explore the application effects of a neurosurgical mixed-reality distance teaching (NMDT) model in standardized residency training in neurosurgery.Methods:We built an NMDT system using mixed-reality technology and remote interaction technology, and designed the implementation procedure according to the teaching objectives. After the teaching activities were completed, a teaching satisfaction questionnaire survey was conducted among 20 neurosurgery resident trainees, in which they provided satisfaction scores for the same teaching content with different teaching models (i.e., the NMDT model and traditional teaching model). SPSS 22.0 software was used to perform the t test for data analysis. Results:There were significant differences between the NMDT model and the traditional teaching model in key indicators including the score for "completion of teaching objectives" (9.20±0.68 vs. 8.25±0.70, P<0.001) and the score for "satisfaction with learning gains" score (8.95±0.67 vs. 8.05±0.92, P=0.001). The NMDT model also outperformed the traditional teaching model in the other individual scores and the total score. Conclusions:The NMDT model can improve teaching quality, increase training efficiency, and enrich teaching content, which is worthy of promotion.

Rheumatoid arthritis （RA）， as an autoimmune disease， is mainly characterized by persistent synovitis. It often involves multiple joints symmetrically and can lead to joint deformity， joint function loss， and even disability in severe cases. The pathogenesis of RA is complex， and the prevention and treatment are complicated. Therefore， it is difficult to cure the disease completely. Previous studies have validated important targets and mechanisms for the prevention and treatment of RA， including the nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway that controls the inflammatory process， nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） signaling pathway that regulates oxidative stress， inhibits inflammation， and maintains cell homeostasis， Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway that plays a key role in cell growth， differentiation， apoptosis， and inflammatory response， anti-inflammatory， anti-oxidation， and silent information regulator 1 （SIRT1） signaling pathway that regulates synovial cells， anti-inflammatory adenylate-activated protein kinase （AMPK） signaling pathway that regulates energy metabolism， and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α）/vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） signaling pathway related to angiogenesis in RA. At the same time， many studies have confirmed that traditional Chinese medicine prevents and treats RA by regulating the above signaling pathways and exerting their related effects， indicating the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine such as multiple regulatory pathways， long-term effects， and less adverse reactions. In this paper， by consulting many research reports， the role of the above-mentioned signaling pathways in RA was clarified， and the latest research results of traditional Chinese medicine intervention in the above-mentioned signaling pathways in the prevention and treatment of RA in recent years were summarized in detail. This paper aims to promote the in-depth study of the pathogenesis of RA and its treatment with traditional Chinese medicine， provide a scientific basis for the rational application of traditional Chinese medicine， and offer useful enlightenment for the development of new drugs and clinical practice for the treatment of RA in the future.
