Objective To observe the effects of drainage with vacuum and closure (VAC) on acute wounds, and explore the mechanism of drainage with VAC in promoting wound healing.Methods Twenty-four acute wounds were inflicted on the backs of 12 New Zealand white rabbits (each rabbit two wounds), and the rabbits were divided into a drainage with VAC group and a control group randomly. The drainage with VAC group was treated with drainage with VAC. The control group was treated with wet saline gauze. The wounds were observed 3 and 7 days after treatment. Patho-morphological changes in tissues from the compressed area were observed by HE staining. The expression level of Cx 43 mRNA was detected using a RT-PCR.Results At the 3rd and 7th day after treatment, the wounds of the drainage with VAC group were clean, fresh and had less edema compared with those of the control group. Pathomorphological tissue changes were more obvious in the drainage with VAC group. The expression of Cx 43 mRNA in the drainage with VAC group had declined significantly compared with the control group.Conclusion Drainage with VAC can promote inflammatory cell infiltration, down-regulate the expression of Cx 43 mRNA, and promote wound healing.

Objective:To discuss the role of incision for short-term outcomes of simultaneous resection in synchronous colorec-tal liver metastases (sCRLM). Methods:We reviewed the data of 37 patients who underwent simultaneous resection between January 2009 and December 2014 in our department and compared the short-term outcomes between Mercedes and midline incisions. Results:Mercedes and midline incisions were used in 19 and 18 patients, respectively. The two groups showed similarities in patient characteris-tics, major hepatectomy, surgery time, blood loss, and hilar block time. The midline group comprised more rectal cancer patients (P<0.001). The two groups did not differ significantly in complication incidence (47.4%vs. 16.7%, P=0.08) and postoperative stay time (22.1 ± 9.5 d vs. 17.2 ± 6.7 d, P=0.08). At body mass index (BMI)<25, the complication incidence (P=0.046) and postoperative stay time (P=0.051) were lower in the midline group than in the Mercedes group. Conclusion:Midline incision provided similar exposure in simultaneous resection for sCRLM and was better than Mercedes incision in rectal cancer patients. Patients with midline incision may attain better short-term outcomes if BMI is<25.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of the union between marrow smear and marrow biopsy in the myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) diagnosis. Methods Bone marrow aspirate and smear were initially abtained, then bone tissues encircled drill and section at the same point which is called as. easy one-step technology to 86 MDS patients were analysed. Results In 86 cases of MDS patients, there were 30 cases of hyperplasia extreme degree of reduction by 34.88 %, 56 eases of active, obvious and extremely active active (65.12 %), 43 cases for red RCMD (50.00 %), 32 cases for the granulocyte dysplasia (37.21%), 22 cases for megakaryocyte RCMD (25.58 %) in bone marrow aspiration smears; compared with 15 cases of hyperplasia extreme degree of reduction and the reduction (17.44 %), 71 eases of active, obviously active and extremely active (82.56 %); 16 cases for red RCMD (18.61%), 52 cases for the granulocyte dysplasia (60.47 %), 56 cases for megakaryocyte RCMD (65.12 %) in bone marrow biopsy sections. 66 cases in 86 cases of bone marrow biopsy and bone marrow smear of WHO classification were in line with the rate of 76.74 %.Conclusion The biopsy slide and the puncture smear synchronization observation is more advantageous than the conventional puncture smear morphology observation and combining two method may increase the accuracy in the MDS diagnosis.

When Playmonas cardiformis is exposed to different ZnSO4 concentration, its growth rate decreases gradually with the increase of ZnSO4 concentration which is more than 1 mmol?L~-1. More than 8 mmol?L~-1 ZnSO4 can lead to the death of playmonas subcordi- formis. But the production of MT-like increases with the increase of ZnSO4 concentration by AAS determination. The effect of indution is remarkable. The production of MT-like reaches 2. 1ing per gram wet weight when the concentration of ZnSO4 is 1 mmol?L~-1.

AIM: To discover specific neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation-promoting factor, which will contribute to study on development of nervous system and treatment of nervous system diseases. METHODS: The extracts of forebrain, midbrain,afterbrain and cerebellum of neonatal mice were prepared, and the NSCs of newborn mice were cultured in vitro. Neurospheres were observed, immunocytochemical staining of characteristic protein, nestin, and MTT assay were performed to identify NSCs and their proliferative properties. RESULTS: A great deal of neurospheres were formed in the presence of the extracts of afterbrain and cerebellum, which were positive for characteristic protein (Nestin) of NSC showed by immunocytochemical staining. CONCLUSION: The afterbrain and cerebellum extracts can increase the total number of NSCs isolated from newborn mice in vitro in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To study the expression and significance of multidrug resistance gene (MDR1) in children with refractory epilepsy (RE). Methods Children with RE (n = 30), non-RE (n = 30) and healthy children (n=30) were collected. The expression of MDR1-mRNA in peripheral blood was analyzed by fluorescence quantitative PCR. The relationship of MDRI-mRNA with epileptic frequency and numbers of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) were observed. Results The expression of MDR1 in RE group obviously increased when compared with that of non-RE group and healthy group (P < 0.01, P < 0.01) ; MDR1 expression was more among patients with high frequent epilepsy than patients with low frequent epilepsy (P < 0.01) ; more in patients administered with four kinds of AEDs than those with two or three kinds of AEDs (P < 0.01). Concinsions MDR1 overexpression in blood of children with RE may be linked to drug-resistant mechanism of RE. It might be used as a clinical indicator of RE.

Objective To observe the effect of autophagy on paclitaxel-induced CaSki cell death through the regulation of the expression of autophagy gene Beclin1, and to explore the interaction and relationship between autophagy and apoptosis. Methods Eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1-Beclin1 and RNA interference vector pSUPER-Beclin1 were transfected into human cervical cancer CaSki cells in vitro and screened for stable expression cell lines. The formation of autophagic vacuoles was observed with an electronic microscope. The expression of Beclin1 and LC3 was measured by Western blot. After being treated with paclitaxel, the change of cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay, the percentage of apoptotic cells and autophagic cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results A lot of autophagic vacuoles were observed in pcDNA3.1-Beclin1 cells by electronic microscopy. Beclin1 and LC3 protein expression was up-regulated in CaSki cells transfected with pcDNA3.1-Beclin1, and was inhibited in cells transfected with pSUPER-Beclin1. MTT assay revealed the survival rate of CaSki cells was significantly decreased after being transfected with pcDNA3.1-Beclin1. After being treated with paclitaxel, the percentages of apoptotic cells and autophagic cells were both increased in pcDNA3.1-Beclin1 group compared with that of the blank control group especially the increase of apoptosis was particularly evident. Conclusion Autophagy and apoptosis have different roles in the process of paclitaxel-induced cervical cancer CaSki cell line death. Overexpression of Beclin1 in CaSki cells may enhance the apoptosis induced by paclitaxel.
