Objective To observe the efficacy of Mimics finite element analysis software in the gasserian ganglion radiofrequency treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Methods 180 cases with primary trigeminal neuralgia and VAS score ≥8 were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 90 each): CT group (group C) and Mimics group (group M). The preoperative skull CT image of the foramen of cranial base could be analyzed in group C. The preoperative cranial CT image could be reconstructed and analyzed by Mimics finite element analysis software in group M. The puncturing success rate, complications rate and the outcomes between two groups were recorded. Results The puncturing success rates were 100% in group M and 92% in group C (P < 0.05). 6 cases with hematoma and 1 case, which were stabbed into the oral cavity were found in group C. No puncture complication was found in group G. There was no statistically significant between the two groups (P < 0.05). The VAS score was 1.6 ± 0.3 in group C and 1.3 ± 0.4 in group G, there was no statistical significance (P > 0.05) between them. Conclusions The Mimics finite element analysis software could improve the success rate of basicranial foramen ovale puncture and reduce the occurrence rate of puncture complications. Therefore , it could be safely applied to the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia by gasserian ganglion radio frequency.

Objective To investigate the relationship between impaired fracture healing and the expression of peroxisome proliferator activated-receptor gamma (PPARγ) and core binding factor alpha 1 (Cbfα1) mRNA in the bone marrow of Type 2 diabetic rats.Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a control group (n=15, normal diet) and an experiment group (n=20, high fat and sucrosum diet). After 8 weeks, one eyeball was culled for blood collection. The experiment group was intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin and the control group received citrate buffer. After another 2 weeks, the other eyeball was culled again to collect blood. The model of distraction osteogenesis in the left tibias of the rats was established. After 14 days, we sacrificed all the rats and collected the blood and left tibias. Both femurs were harvested with germ free. We observed the callus formation in the distraction gap by X-ray and the formation of primary matrix front and microcolumn by histological examination. We observed adipocytes in adjacent bone marrow of left tibia and computed the percentage of adipocytes accounting for the area of bone cavity. We measured the expression of PPARγ and Cbfα1 mRNA in femurs marrow by RT-PCR.Results In the experimental rats, the level of triglyceride was obviously elevated (P＜0.01), so was the total cholesterol (P＜0.05), while the level of fasting blood glucose and serum insulin did not obviously differ (P＞0.05) after 8 weeks. The level of fasting blood glucose and triglyceride was obviously elevated (P＜0.01), and so was the total cholesterol (P＜0.05), while the level of serum insulin was not obviously different in the experiment group after 10 and 12 weeks. Callus formation in the distraction gap was obviously diminished by X-ray in the experimental rats. The array of microcolumn formation was disordered and the area of primary matrix front was catachromasis in the controls by histology examination. The number of adipocytes in both the bone marrow and the percentage of adipocyte accounting for the area of bone cavity increased (P＜0.01) in the experiment group. In the experiment group, the expression of PPARγ mRNA was up-regulated (P＜0.05) while Cbfα1 mRNA was down-regulated (P＜0.05) in double femur marrow. Conclusion Increased expression of PPARγ mRNA and decreased expression of Cbfα1 mRNA in the bone marrow may cause impaired fracture healing in rats with Type 2 diabetes.

Objective To study the clinical use of microwave scalpel in hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma without hepatic vascular inflow occlusion.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 126 consecutive patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were treated at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from December 2015 to August 2018.The patients included 111 males and 15 females,with ages which ranged from 25 to 75 years.These patients were divided into two groups by the different surgical resection methods:the microwave scalpel hepatectomy (MSH) group which employed microwave scalpels to perform hepatectomy (n =42),and the ultrasound scalpel hepatectomy (USH) group which employed ultrasound scalpels (n =84).The perioperative conditions which included baseline data,amount of intraoperative bleeding,liver function after operation,and morbidity of postoperative complications were compared.Results There were no significant differences in the preoperative indexes which included tumor diameter,number of tumors,levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) between the 2 groups (all P ＞ 0.05).In the MSH group,the amount of intraoperative bleeding was 100.0 (100.0,200.0) ml,which was significantly lower than the 300.0 (100.0,400.0) ml in the USH group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the USH group,the levels of AST and ALT on postoperative day 1,3,7 after operation in the MSH group were significantly lower (all P ＜ 0.05),and the corresponding albumin levels were significantly higher than the USH group (P ＜0.05).The incidence of complications was 4.8％ (2/42) in the MSH group which was significantly lower than that of 20.2％ (17/84) in the USH group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Microwave scalpel significantly reduced intraoperative bleeding and postoperative complications,and led to less liver functional injury.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor (17-DMAG) and oxaliplatin on the proliferation and invasion of colorectal cancer.

METHODSAfter 17-DMAG, oxaliplatin and half-dose combination of 2 drugs processing colorectal cancer SW480 and HCT116 cell lines, CCK8 assay was applied to detect cell viability. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression level of the apoptosis-related molecules. Transwell chemokine axis experiment and Western blot were employed to detect cell invasion ability and the expression level of tumor metastasis-associated protein.

RESULTSThe growth of SW480 and HCT116 cells was inhibited after the administration of 17-DMAG and oxaliplatin(P<0.05) in dose- and time-dependent manner. Processed by 17-DMAG 100 nmol/L, oxaliplatin 50 mg/L and half-dose combination of 2 drugs, transcription level of the apoptosis inhibitory gene (Bcl-2) in SW480 and HCT116 cells was decreased, the level of apoptosis promoting gene (Bax) transcription and protein PARP-1 spliceosome expression was increased, and the above trend was more obvious when using half-dose combination of 2 drugs. Transwell chemokine axis experiments showed the penetrating relative percentage and expression level of MMP9 and integrin β3 decreased, especially for half-dose combination of 2 drugs.

CONCLUSION17-DMAG and oxaliplatin can co-inhibit the proliferation and invasion of colorectal cancer.

Objective To analyze the effects of different therapies on patient survival,to explore the related prognostic factors in elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer,and to provide recommendations for the treatment of such patients.Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on 146 elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer hospitalized from January 2009 to October 2013 in Yixing People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province.Detailed clinical data were recorded,and patients were followed up during the total survival time.Univariate analysis with the Log rank test and multivariate analysis with the COX proportional hazard model were utilized to examine the related prognostic factors in elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer.Results The 1-,2,3-year survival rates of t46 elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer were 33.6 ％,11.0 ％,and 2.1 ％,respectively,and the median survival time was 10.3 months.The Log-rank test showed that Karnofsky (KPS) score,differentiation degree,number of metastatic sites,malignant serous effusion,chemotherapy,and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) were associated with the prognosis of elderly patients with advanced GC (all P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis by the COX proportional hazard model showed that KPS score (HR=1.575,95％ CI:1.094 2.267,P=0.015),differentiation degree (HR=0.499,95％CI:0.340-0.732,P＜0.001),malignant serous effusion (HR=0.516,95％ CI:0.356-0.748,P＜ 0.001),chemotherapy (HR=1.669,95％ CI:1.185 2.351,P=0.003),and TCM (HR=1.793,95％ CI:1.237-2.600,P=0.002) were independent factors related to the prognosis of elderly patients with advanced GC.Conclusions The prognosis of elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer is poor,especially for patients with a low KPS score,a poor differentiation degree,or malignant serous effusion.Chemotherapy and TCM can improve the prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the procedure and efficacy of anatomical medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction for the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation assisted with arthroscopy.
 METHODS: Between January, 2010 and December 2012, 13 patients with recurrent patellar dislocation, who underwent anatomical MPFL reconstruction and the grafts of operation, were all adopted with autograft semitendinosus. The patellar side used the modified double bone tunnels and the minimally invasive percutaneous grafts through double patellar bone tunnels, and then fixed in the femoral tunnel with absorbable interference screw. Follow-up included the records of the subjective feeling, patellar apprehension test, recurrent dislocation, CT evaluation of bone tunnel position and patellar tilt angle. Knee function was evaluated by the Lysholm score and Kujala score. 
 RESULTS: Twelve patients were followed up for 36 months (range 24-60 months). All patients were satisfied with the treatment. No recurrent dislocation occurred. All the patients showed negative apprehension test. Two patients felt uncomfortable after excessive activity in the knee. Another 2 cases lost 10° flexion than the healthy knee. CT showed that the bone tunnel position were all well. The patellar tilt angle was decreased from 20.52°±1.48° preoperative to 13.52°±1.32° postoperative, with significant difference (t=14.88, P<0. 05); the Kujala score was improved from 55.2±4.51 preoperative to 93.8±3.87 postoperative, with significant difference (t=-36.238, P<0.05); and the Lysholm score was improved from 56.68±5.52 to 93.08±4.68, with significant difference (t=-33.382, P<0.05). 
 CONCLUSION MPFL reconstruction assisted with arthroscopy is an effective surgical procedure for the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation, which can improve the knee function with little trauma and complications.

ObjectiveTo clarify the therapeutic effect of Huashi Baidu prescription on pneumonia in mice caused by influenza A （H1N1） virus and explore its mechanism based on the transcriptome. MethodA mouse influenza viral pneumonia model was built by intranasal infection with influenza A virus， and mice were continuously administered the drug for five days， so as to investigate the general condition， lung index， viral load， pathological morphology of lung tissue， survival time， and prolongation rate of survival time of mice and clarify the therapeutic effect of Huashi Baidu prescription on influenza viral pneumonia. Transcriptome technology was used to detect the differentially expressed genes in the lung tissue of mice in the model group and the normal group， as well as the Huashi Baidu prescription group and the model group， and the potential core target of the Huashi Baidu prescription for the treatment of influenza viral pneumonia was screened. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to verify the effect of Huashi Baidu prescription on the mRNA expression level of core target genes. ResultCompared with the normal group， the lung index and viral load in the lung tissue of the model group were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the high-dose group of Huashi Baidu prescription significantly prolonged the survival time of mice infected with influenza A virus （P<0.05） and significantly reduced the lung index value of mice （P<0.05） and the viral load of lung tissue. The high-dose， medium-dose， and low-dose groups of Huashi Baidu prescription could significantly reduce lung tissue inflammation， blood stasis， swelling， and other pathological changes in mice （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Transcriptome analysis of lung tissue showed that core genes were mainly enriched in the nuclear transcription factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway， interleukin-17 （IL-17） signaling pathway， cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction， and other pathways after the intervention of Huashi Baidu prescription. TRAF6， NFKBIA， CCL2， CCL7， and CXCL2 were the top five node genes with combined score values. Real-time PCR validation showed that Huashi Baidu prescription significantly downregulated the mRNA expression of key genes TRAF6 and NFKBIA in the NF-κB signaling pathway， as well as chemokines CCL2， CCL7， and CXCL2 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionHuashi Baidu prescription has a therapeutic effect on influenza viral pneumonia， possibly by inhibiting the expression of key nodes TRAF6 and NFKBIA in the NF-κB signaling pathway and that of chemokines CCL2， CCL7， and CXCL2， reducing the recruitment of inflammatory cells and viral load， and exerting anti-influenza viral pneumonia effects.
