In this study, a recurrent massive phyllodes tumor of the breast was surgically removed and the grafting was used to repair the local skin defects. A 29-y female patient had recurring breast phyllodes tumor of extremely large size in the chest wall after the excision of a previous tumor. The massive phyllodes tumor was eliminated by completely removing the layers of the skin and tissues above the costal bones with incisal margin being 2 cm away from the tumor lesion. The latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, lateral thoracic skin flap, and rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap were grafted to replace the lost tissues due to the surgery. Anti-infection and anticoagulation treatments were used after the surgery. The graft flaps had sufficient blood supply and good blood circulation, and the incisions mostly healed. The outcome of the surgery was acceptable. For the surgical treatment of the massive phyllodes tumor in the chest wall, it is an alternative of choice to use latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, lateral thoracic skin flap and rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap in combination for skin grafting.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (IRF) and its diagnosis and treatment. Methods Data of 27 IRF cases admitted into our hospital during recent 8 years were retrospectively analyzed. Result The main clinical manifestations of IRF included abdominal pain, lumbago, mass in retroperitoneal cavity and ureteral obstruction. The main diagnostic approach to IRF was the image examination. Preoperative correct diagnosis was established in 85 2% of cases. Ureterolysis and wrapping up with the omentum was performed in 21 cases of ureteral obstruction. Two cases suffering from renal artery (RA) stenosis were relieved with arteria renalis lysis. One superior mesenteric artery (SMA) stenosis was managed by arterial lysis. Twenty six cases were cured and one case died postoperatively. Conclusion IRF has nonspecific clinical manifestations. The preoperative diagnosis depends on the image characteristics. The treatment mainly consists of the relief of the obstructive symptoms.

Aim To investigate the influence of sarpog-relate hydrochloride (SH)on the pharmacokinetic pro-file of dextromethorphan (DM),the typical substrate of CYP2D1 /2,in rats when they were administered co-instantaneously.Methods A total of 1 2 SD rats were randomly divided into two groups:the control group (DM,1 0 mg·kg-1 )and the sarpogrelate group (SH, 1 0 mg·kg-1 ;DM,1 0 mg·kg-1 ),which received in-tragastric administration.Plasma samples were collected immediately before and at different time points after drug administration.A LC-MS /MS method was used to determine the concentrations of DM in rat plasma. Pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed using Drug and Statistics (DAS 2.0).Results There were signif-icant differences in the pharmacokinetic parameters of DM,including T1 2 (2.49 h ±0.93 h vs 1 .47 h ±0.20 h,P <0.05 ),Cmax (325.7 μg·L -1 ±1 33.2 μg· L -1 vs 1 04.5μg·L -1 ±52.4 μg·L -1 ,P <0.05), AUC0 -t(785.5 μg·L -1 ·h ±451 .9 μg·L -1 ·h vs 244.8 μg·L -1 ·h ±1 68.3μg·L -1 ·h,P <0.05) and AUC0 -∞(804.7 μg·L -1 ·h ±445.6 μg·L -1 ·h vs 251 .4 μg·L -1 ·h ±1 73.4 μg·L -1 ·h,P<0.05 )between the two groups.Conclusion SH could significantly inhibit the elimination of DM,the substrate of CYP2D1 /2 in rats.

Objective To investigate subtype of HPV infection among women at age of 25 to 54 years in Beijing. Methods From Sept. 2006 to Dec. 2008, 5552 reproductive women at age of 25 to 54 years classified into each 5-year as group were screened. Each participant completed a questionnaire and a sample of exfoliated cervical cells for liquid-based cytology and HPV subtype gene testing was performed.Results The overall prevalence of HPV was 6.68% (371/5552). High-risk HPV and Low-risk HPV prevalence were 5.76% (320/5552) and 2.00% (111/5552), respectively. The most common HPV types were HPV16 (2.61%, 145/5552), HPV58 (0. 97%, 54/5552), HPV33 (0.85%, 47/5552), HPV43 (0.74% ,41/5552) and HPV56(0.70% ,39/5552). There were two peaks of HPV prevalence: groups of 30 -34 years and 40 -44 years. Conclusion The most common HPV subtypes in Beijing were HPV 16,58, 33 and 43 and HPV prevalence showed a bi-medal age-specific curve.

Objective:To analyze the hepatic hemodynamics changes after partial splenic embolization in patients with cirrhosis and hypersplenism.Methods:A total of 26 patients with cirrhosis and hypersplenism who underwent partial splenic embolization in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from April 2018 to June 2019 were included in this study. The clinical data was retrospectively studied. The study objects consisted of 19 males and 7 females with an average of 55 years. Whole-liver perfusion enhanced CT imaging scan was performed for all patients. Changes in laboratory indexes and the blood perfusion of the liver sections including hepatic arterial perfusion, portal venous perfusion, total liver perfusion and hepatic arterial perfusion indexes before PSE and postoperative 1 month were compared.Results:The postoperative leukocyte and platelet counts increased, and the prothrombin time decreased in the 26 patient, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05). The hepatic arterial perfusion of the left lateral section, left medial section, right anterior section and right posterior section increased in postoperative 1 month, from 10.0 (7.0, 13.5) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, 9.3 (5.4, 12.8) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, 8.0 (6.0, 11.2) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, 10.7 (7.1, 13.8) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1 to 7.7 (4.2, 11.0) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, 6.9 (2.6, 10.2) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, 7.1 (4.1, 8.7) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, 5.9 (4.4, 8.5) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, respectively. The differences were all significantly different ( P<0.05). There were no significant difference in portal venous perfusion and total liver perfusion before and after operation ( P>0.05). The hepatic arterial perfusion index of left lateral section, right anterior section and right posterior section increased after operation ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For patients with cirrhosis and hypersplenism who underwent partial splenic embolization, the state of hypersplenism was relieved, the hepatic arterial blood flow increased, and the liver function improved.

A 26-year-old male presented with a 6-day history of paroxysmal headache which was worsen with nausea and vomiting for 1 day. Head CT on admission revealed left chronic subdural hematoma with midline shift. An emergency Burr hole drainage for hematoma was performed. Headache recurred 6 days later. MRI of the brain revealed a diffuse thickening and a gadolinium-enhancement of the falx, cranial dura mater and tentorium cerebelli on the left side with pia mater involved. Lumber puncture showed increased intracranial pressure and elevated IgG level in cerebrospinal fluid. Histological examination of the biopsy specimen showed thickened, fibrotic dura with a sterile chronic inflammation. According to pathological examination, idiopathic hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis was considered as the final diagnosis. Symptoms were improved with steroid pulse therapy.

A plethora of organic pollutants such as pesticides, polycyclic and halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, and emerging pollutants, such as flame retardants, is continuously being released into the environment. This poses a huge threat to the society in terms of environmental pollution, agricultural product quality, and general safety. Therefore, effective removal of organic pollutants from the environment has become an important challenge to be addressed. As a consequence of the recent and rapid developments in additive manufacturing, 3D bioprinting technology is playing an important role in the pharmaceutical industry. At the same time, an increasing number of microorganisms suitable for the production of biomaterials with complex structures and functions using 3D bioprinting technology, have been identified. This article briefly discusses the principles, advantages, and disadvantages of different 3D bioprinting technologies for pollutant removal. Furthermore, the feasibility and challenges of developing bioremediation technologies based on 3D bioprinting have also been discussed.

Bicyclol is a synthetic drug for hepatoprotection in clinic since 2004. Preliminary clinical observations suggest that bicyclol might be active against hepatitis C virus (HCV) with unknown mechanism. Here, we showed that bicyclol significantly inhibited HCV replication and in hepatitis C patients. Using bicyclol as a probe, we identified glycolipid transfer protein (GLTP) to be a novel restrictive factor for HCV replication. The GLTP preferentially bound host vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein-A (VAP-A) in competition with the HCV NS5A, causing an interruption of the complex formation between VAP-A and HCV NS5A. As the formation of VAP-A/NS5A complex is essential for viral RNA replication, up-regulation of GLTP by bicyclol reduced the level of VAP-A/NS5A complex and thus inhibited HCV replication. Bicyclol also exhibited an inhibition on HCV variants resistant to direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) with an efficacy identical to that on wild type HCV. In combination with bicyclol, DAAs inhibited HCV replication in a synergistic fashion. GLTP appears to be a newly discovered host restrictive factor for HCV replication, Up-regulation of GLTP causes spontaneous restriction of HCV replication.
