Chinese Journal of General Surgery 2021;36(4):286-289
Objective:To evaluate the mid-term follow-up results of arteriovenous graft(AVG) for patients on maintenance hemodialysis.Methods:The clinical data of 131 patients who implanted AVG from Jan 2014 to Dec 2016 at Department of Vascular Surgery, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The mean follow-up time was 22.8 months (ranging from 2 to 61 months). The average primary patency time after AVG was (22.20±1.97) months, and the primary patency rates at 1 year, 2 years, 3 years were 61.5%, 36.6% and 23.2%, respectively. The average secondary patency time after AVG was (38.30±2.30) months, and the secondary patency rates after 1 year, 2 years, 3 years were 85.6%, 68.6%, and 55.8%, respectively. Sixty five (49.6%) patients had thrombosis after operations, 50(38.2%) had access stenosis, 13(9.9%) had graft infections, and 2(1.5%) had pseudoaneurysm, 2(1.5%) had hemodialysis access-induced distal ischemia, 2(1.5%) had seroma.Conclusions:Though the primary patency rate of AVG is worse than that of arteriovenous fistula (AVF), a satisfactory secondary patency rate can be achieved through repair treatments. Regular follow-up, early detection of stenotic lesions and treatments are vital for long-term patency of AVG.

Objective To explore the effect of macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) on lung cancer cell line A549. Methods After M-CSF at 0.1, 1 and 10 ng/ml was given to cultured A549 cells for 0, 24, 48, 72 and 92 h respectively, their morphological changes were observed with inverted microscopy, proliferation was measured by MTT assay, and cell cycles were determined by flow cytometry. RT-PCR was used to detect the change of expression of M-CSF receptor. Result The growth of A549 was significantly inhibited by M-CSF in a concentration- and time- dependent manner. The maximum response was obtained at 10 ng/ml of M-CSF. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that the treated A549 cells arrested at the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. RT-PCR showed that the mRNA expression of M-CSF receptor was reduced after the M-CSF treatment. Conclusion M-CSF has an anti-tumour activity on lung cancer cell A549.

Objective To compare the contents of astragaloside Ⅳ and polysaccharides in radix astragali with different growth years, providing reference for the better harvest time of radix astragali. Methods HPLC-ELSD was used to determine the content of astragaloside Ⅳ. A Hypersil-Keystone C18 column was used with the mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-water (33∶67). The flow rate was set at 1.0 mL/min. The parameters of drift tube and gas flow rate of the detector were set at 105 ℃ and 2.7 L/min respectively. Phenol-sulfuric method was employed to determine the content of polysaccharides, and the detection wavelength was set at 490 nm. Results The linear range of astragaloside Ⅳ was within 1.25-6.28 μg. The average recovery was 97.28%, with RSD=1.42%. The linear range of polysaccharides was 10-100 μg. The average recovery was 99.02%, with RSD=0.94%. The content of astragaloside Ⅳ in radix astragali cultivated for more than 1 year was higher than the standard in Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and radix astragali cultivated for 3 years showed the highest content. The content of polysaccharides in radix astragali cultivated for more than 3 years was the highest, and radix astragali cultivated for 2 years was slightly lower. Conclusion The better harvest time for radix astragali is at least two years of growth, which is judged from the content of astragaloside Ⅳ and polysaccharides.

[Summary] To investigate the effect of microRNA126 on glucose metabolism in the normal liver cell lines. In vitro, the chang liver cell lines were cultured. Under the most effective transfection conditions ascertained above, microRNA126 mimic, microRNA126 inhibitor, and relative negative control were transfected into the cultured normal liver cells. And the transfection efficiency was tested by realtime fluorescent quantitative PCR. After 48 hours, the cells were stimulated with synthetic insulin ( 100 nmol/L ) and respective substrates for 2 hours. Then the glycogenesis, gluconeogenesis, and glycolysis in cells were measured. The level of microRNA126 of the microRNA126 mimic group was higher than the other groups, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0. 05 ). MicroRNA126 mimic group significantly decreased glucose utilization, reduced glycogen synthesis, effectively increased the account of gluconeogenesis, reduced lactate production, and pyruvate kinase activity ( all P<0. 05). The over-expressing microRNA126 in hepatocytes may reverse the function of glucose metabolism, and enhance output of hepatic glucose.

Objective To investigate whether increased signal intensity (ISI) can help assess the prognosis in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) by means of measuring the ratio of signal intensity. Methods A retrospective study with two or more years follow-up of 57 patients with CSM underwent posterior cervical decompression were carried out from February 2000 to February 2006. 1.5T MRI was performed in all patients before surgery. T2-weighted images (T2WI) of sagittal ISI on the cervical spinal cord were obtained, For those with ISI, the values of signal intensity of the spinal cord on T2-weighted image (T2Wl) and TI-weighted image (TIWI) of sagittal view were measured at the location where there was ISI on T2WI, and the ratio of signal intensity of T2WI / T1WI (T2/T1 ratio) at the same level of the spinal cord and with similar area was calculated on the computer. Patients with ISI were subdivided into 2 groups according to T2/T1 ratio. Results ISI was not observed in 20 patients (group 1). The range of T2/T1 ratio of other 37 patients was from 1.28 to 2.80 and the median was 1.65. Nineteen patients were divided into group 2 (ratio range, 1.28-1.63), and 18 into group 3 (ratio range, 1.67-2.80). Significant differences were noted in age at surgery, duration of disease, recovery rate, pre and preoperative JOA score among three different groups.Spearman's rank correlation showed that T2/T1 ratio was positively correlated with age at surgery and duration of disease, negatively with pre- and postoperative JOA score and recovery rate. Conclusion Patients with ISI and higher T2/T1 ratio tend to have relatively severe preoperative state of illness and poor prognosis after surgical intervention. Spinal cord signal intensity change on T2-weighted MRI might be a predictor of a poor outcome in terms of functional recovery rate in patients underwent operations for multi-level CSM.
