Objective To evaluate the influence of tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2(TFPI-2)gene on the proliferation and invasion of K562.Methods The expression vector pcDNA3.0/TFPI-2 was transfected into human leukemia line K562 cells(K562-T)by using liposome,then the mRNA and protein TFPI-2 were detected by real-time RT-PCR and western blot separately.The growth curve and the colony-forming unit assay were used to measure the ability of cells growth and transwell chamber model was employed to test the ability of cell invasion in vitro.Results Expression of mRNA and protein of TFPI-2 was detected in transfected cells.The growth rate and self-replication ability of K562-T cells were lower than those of the two control groups obviously.The number of K562-T cells to traverse a Matrigel-coated membrane was dramatically decreased compared with that of non-expressing cells.Conclusion The gene of TFPI-2 can inhibit the growth,proliferation and invasion of the K562 cells.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this preliminary study was to investigate the effects of adding 4,4'-bis(N,N-diethylamino) benzophenone (DEABP) as a co-initiator to a binary photoinitiating system (camphorquinone-amine) to analyze on the degree of conversion (DC) of a light-cured resin for dental 3D printing. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cylindrical specimens (N=60, n=30 per group, o5 mm x 1 mm) were fabricated using bisphenol A glycerolate dimethacrylate (BisGMA) both with and without DEABP. The freshly mixed resins were exposed to light in a custom-made closed chamber with nine light-emitting diode lamps (wavelength: 405 nm; power: 840 mW/cm2) for polymerization at each incidence of light-irradiation at 10, 30, 60, 180, and 300 seconds, while five specimens at a time were evaluated at each given irradiation point. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to measure the DC values of the resins. Two-way analysis of variance and the Duncan post hoc test were used to analyze statistically significant differences between the groups and given times (alpha=.05). RESULTS: In the DEABP-containing resin, the DC values were significantly higher at all points in time (P<.001), and also the initial polymerization velocity was faster than in the DEABP-free resin. CONCLUSION: The addition of DEABP significantly enhanced the DC values and, thus, could potentially become an efficient photoinitiator when combined with a camphorquinone-amine system and may be utilized as a more advanced photopolymerization system for dental 3D printing.

The sample recovery rates ranged from 98. 8% to 102. 5%.CONCLUSION: The improved method has the features of fast and accurate,high precision,good linear relationship and simple operation. It is suitable for detecting the mass concentration of tin in the workplace air.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of microsurgical technique combined with cosmetic suture technique in situ replantation of total scalp avulsion.Methods:The clinical data of patients with total scalp avulsion admitted to the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery of General Hospital of Northern Theatre Command from January 2015 to December 2020 were collected. All patients were treated by microsurgical technique combined with cosmetic suture technique. Thorough debridement was performed during the operation. Active anti-shock treatment was given to the patient with hemorrhagic shock. The vascular was explored and labeled. The vascular anastomosis was conducted by microsurgical technique. The venous anastomosis was performed in the first place. The arterial anastomosis was performed according to the patient's condition. Symptomatic treatment, such as routine anti-coagulation, was given to patients after the operation. An infection prevention strategy was performed in patients. The recovery of patients was observed.Results:A total of six patients were involved in this study. All patients were females, aged from 36 to 55 years old. Various degrees of wound contamination can be seen, and one patient with hemorrhagic shock. The superficial temporal vein, supraorbital vein and sentinel vein were anastomosed in two patients, and the superficial temporal vein and sentinel vein were anastomosed in four patients. The superficial temporal artery and supratrochlear artery were anastomosed in two patients, and the superficial temporal artery was anastomosed in four patients. All patients were followed up for 3 months to 2 years, averaging 13.71 months. More than 90% of the scalp survived in three patients, 80% in two patients, and 50% in one patient. The necrotic area survived after replantation of a split-thickness skin graft. The sensory function of surviving scalp after replantation was slightly regressed. The hair growth was normal. Only superficial linear scar left. All patients were satisfied with the efficacy.Conclusions:The application of the microsurgical technique for vascular anastomosis combined with cosmetic suture technique for repair can achieve good clinical efficacy in situ replantation of total scalp avulsion.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic extraperitoneal sigmoid colostomy.

METHODSThirty-six patients with low rectal cancer undergoing laproscopic abdominoperineal resection from July 2011 to July 2012 were prospectively enrolled in the study and randomly divided into extraperitoneal colostomy group(EPC, n=18) and internal peritoneal colostomy group(IPC, n=18). Follow-up period was 4-16 (median, 7) months and postoperative complications were compared between two groups.

RESULTSOne case in EPC group was converted to IPC because of poor blood supply of the proximal sigmoid, who was eliminated from the subsequent analysis. Compared with the IPC group, the surgery time was longer in EPC group [(25.3±8.5) min vs. (14.7±6.4) min], while the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05). Each group had 1 case of stoma ischemia, who both received the colostomy reconstructive surgery. The incidence of stoma edema was significantly higher in EPC group[35.3%(6/17) vs. 0, P<0.05). The early postoperative complications rate did not significantly different between the two groups[58.8%(10/17) vs. 27.8%(5/18), P>0.05]. The late postoperative complications rate was 22.2%(4/18) in IPC group, including 1 case of stoma prolapse, 1 case of stoma stenosis and 2 cases of parastomal hernia. No later postoperative complication occurred in EPC group.

CONCLUSIONExtraperitoneal sigmoid colostomy is an easy and safe procedure with lower late complications as compared to internal peritoneal sigmoid colostomy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the distribution of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CAPN10 gene in Chinese population and their relation with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Han people of Northern China.

METHODSCAPN10 gene was sequenced to detect SNPs in 27 samples of different nationalities in China. 5 SNPs were genotyped with single-base extension (SBE) method to perform case-control study in 156 normal Han people of Northern China and 173 type 2 diabetes and the 3 positive loci reported in the article were performed haplotype analysis. One positive locus was also analyzed with transmission-disequilibrium test (TDT) and sib transmission-disequilibrium test (STDT) in 68 type 2 diabetes pedigrees (377 cases).

RESULTSA total of 40 SNPs were identified in length of 8,936 bp, with an average of 1 in every 223 bp; The SNPs in CAPN10 gene did not distribute evenly and the SNPs in Chinese was different from that reported in American Mexicans. There was no significantly statistical difference in the allele frequency of the 5 SNPs between case and control (P > 0.05), and the haplotype frequencies in the two groups were not much different (P > 0.05). There was no positive results in TDT and STDT analysis (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe SNP distribution of CAPN10 gene varies with different nationalities. The studied SNPs in CAPN10 gene may not be the major susceptibility ones of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Han people of Northern China.
