Objective To investigate emergency management strategies and risk factors for mortality of open pelvic fractures associated with anorectal injuries.Methods Between April 2001 to April 2010,25 patients of open pelvic fractures associated with anorectal injuries were admitted to Shandong Provincial Hospital and Laigang Hospital,and early emergency treatments of this injury were retrospectively studied.Of these 25 patients,23 were male and the remaining 2 were female,and the mean age was 30.1±10.9 years (range,16-56 years).Fisher's exact test and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors related to mortality caused by this injury.Results Of the 25 patients,19 survived,other 6 patients were dead.The overall mortality was 24%.Fisher's exact test identified that the following risk factors including Tile classification,ISS,GCS and RTS were associated with the injury mortality.Patients with Tile C pelvic fracture ,ISS ≥ 25 points,GCS≤8 points or RTS≤8 points had a high probability of resulting in death.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed with the four variables noted above,and the results demonstrated that RTS ≤ 8 points was the only independent risk factor for mortality of patients with this injury.Conclusion Stabilization of hemodynamic condition,aggressive debridement and irrigation of the wound,early diversion of the fecal stream and early stabilization of pelvic fracture are critical strategies for the emergency management of open pelvic fractures associated with anorectal injuries.Furthermore,based on our findings,it can be concluded that RTS≤8 was reliable for predicting the probability of death in patients with this injury.

Objective To investigate the role of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in liver flbrosis in infants with biliary atresia (BA) and its impact on prognosis. Methods Fourty-six (46) cases of infants with BA undergoing elective Kasai surgery were selected. In the same period, 30 cases of children with choledochal cyst and 17 cases of children with portal vein cavernous transformation were selected. The expressions of HSP70 in liver tissues were detected using immunohistochemical staining. The liver flbrosis in children with BA was detected using Sirius red-saturated picric acid staining. The expressions of HSP70 proteins in different flbrotic liver tissues were detected by using double staining. All postoperative BA infants were followed up and ended at June 30, 2016.Results The proportion of high expression of HSP 70 proteins in BA infants were signiflcantly higher than that in children with choledochal cyst and vein cavernous transformation (P<0.05). Rank correlation analysis showed that the expressions of HSP70 in liver tissues were positively correlated with the degree of liver flbrosis (r=0.861,P<0.05). 15 patients died among 46 cases of BA infants. The survival rate in BA children with mild liver flbrosis was 82.4%, which was signiflcantly higher than 58.6% in the severe group (P<0.05). The survival rate in HSP70 protein low expression group was 85.0%, while in HSP70 protein high expression group was 53.8%. Kaplan-meier survival analysis showed that the median survival time in the HSP70 protein low expression group was (34.0±2.6) months, while in the HSP70 protein high expression group was (18.3±2.2) months, the difference was statistically signiflcant (χx2=4.765,P=0.029).Conclusions The expressions of HSP70 proteins in liver tissues in infants with BA were high and were positively correlated with the degree of hepatic flbrosis. It suggested the possible involvement of HSP70 in the process of liver fibrosis. The upregulated expressions of HSP70 often indicated poor prognosis in children. It could be used as determining biomarker for prognosis.

Hemagglutinin (HA) contains a head domain with a high degree of variability and a relatively conserved stem region. HA is the major viral antigen on the surface of the influenza virus. To define the biologic activities of chimeric HA bearing different head domains and stem regions or their potential use, a HA chimeric gene containing the head domain of the H7 subtype virus and stem region of the H3 subtype virus was modified and expressed using a baculovirus expression vector. Then, the secreted protein was purified and its biologic activities characterized. Approximately 1.4 mg/mL cH7/3 HA could be obtained, and its molecular weight was ≈ 70 kD. The trimer form of cH7/3 protein had hemagglutination activity and could be recognized by specific antibodies. The method described here can be used for further studies on the screening of HA stem-reactive antibodies or the development of vaccines with conserved epitopes.

BACKGROUND:Bacterial infections and impaired angiogenesis have been obstacles to diabetic wound healing,and the problem of multidrug resistance cannot be ignored,so there is an urgent need to find a new therapeutic strategy. OBJECTIVE:To prepare platelet-camouflaged silver nanoparticle hydrogel and observe its therapeutic effect on diabetic wounds. METHODS:(1)In vitro test:The ultra-small silver nanoparticles(usAgNPs)were obtained by reflux heating.usAgNPs-PL/CMC hydrogel was prepared by coupling it with platelets(PL)and adding it to the carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC)hydrogel.The microstructures,swelling properties,and mechanical properties of the hydrogel were characterized.The antibacterial activity of the hydrogel was tested by 2,3-bis(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)5[(phenylamino)carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium hydroxide method,reactive oxygen species method,bacterial biofilm method,and bacterial activity.(2)In vivo test:Forty SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,CMC hydrogel group,usAgNPs/CMC hydrogel group,and usAgNPs-PL/CMC hydrogel group,with eight rats in each group.The type 1 diabetes model was established in the other four groups except the sham operation group.After successful model establishment,a skin wound(20 mm in diameter)deep to the fascia layer was made on the back of rats of the five groups.Rats in the sham operation group and model group were injected with normal saline.The rats in the CMC hydrogel group,usAgNPs/CMC hydrogel group,and usAgNPs-PL/CMC hydrogel group were implanted with the corresponding hydrogel,separately.The wound healing condition and healing quality were observed after 14 days of treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In vitro test:The usAgNPs-PL/CMC hydrogel had a uniform three-dimensional network structure,good mechanical properties,and strong water absorption ability,which could remarkably inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus,and had a good inhibition and clearance effect on the formation of biofilms of the two bacteria,and had a good antibacterial ability.(2)In vivo test:After 14 days of treatment,the wounds of the usAgNPs-PL/CMC hydrogel group were basically closed.The wound healing rate was the highest,and the number of wound colonies was significantly lower than that of the model group.After 14 days of treatment,hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining showed that the tissue structure of regenerated dermis appeared on the wounds of the usAgNPs-PL/CMC hydrogel group,usAgNPs/CMC hydrogel group,and CMC hydrogel group,and the epidermis of the new granulation tissue was complete and thick.Parallel mature collagen fibers were observed in the usAgNPs-PL/CMC hydrogel group.After 7 days of treatment,CD31 immunohistochemistry and Ki67 immunofluorescence staining showed that the usAgNPs-PL/CMC hydrogel group had the highest number of microvessels and fibroblasts.(3)The results showed that usAgNPs-PL/CMC hydrogel could accelerate wound healing in type 1 diabetic rats by rapidly inhibiting bacteria and promoting angiogenesis.

Objective To explore the correlation of serum matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)and heat shock protein-47(HSP-47)levels with prognosis in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage.Methods One hundred and forty-five patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage attending our hospital from March 2018 to May 2022 were selected,and assigned into good prognosis group(n=80)and poor prognosis group(n=65)according to their postoperative prognosis.General information of patients was recorded.The early morning of the day after admission fasting peripheral venous blood samples were collected for the detection of serum MMP-9 and HSP47 levels.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the risk factors affecting poor prognosis in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage,and the predictive value of serum MMP-9 and HSP47 levels on prognosis of patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage was evaluated by plotting ROC curve.Results Statistical difference was found in shape and volume of hematoma between two groups(P＜0.05).Serum MMP-9 and HSP47 levels in poor prognosis group were higher than that in good prognosis group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis denoted that duration of surgery,hematoma shape,hematoma volume,serum MMP-9 and HSP47 levels were all risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage(P＜0.05).Patients with the time of onset to surgery＞24 hours irregular shaped hematoma,large hematoma volume,and elevated serum levels of MMP-9 and HSP47 suffered a high risk of poor prognosis.ROC curve analysis demonstrated that AUC of serum MMP-9 and HSP47 levels for predicting the postoperative prognosis of patients with acute cerebral haemorrhage were 0.718 and 0.827,with a sensitivity of 81.5％and 80.0％,and a specificity of 50.0％and 81.2％,respectively.The AUC,sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of serum MMP-9 and HSP47 for prognosis prediction were 0.891,86.2％and 85.0％.Conclusion Serum MMP-9 and HSP47 levels are elevated in patients with poor prognosis after acute cerebral haemorrhage,and irregular shaped hematoma,hematoma volume,and serum MMP-9 and HSP47 levels are risk factors for poor prognosis after acute cerebral haemorrhage.Furthermore,serum MMP-9 and HSP47 are of great predictive value for the prognosis of patients with acute cerebral haemorrhage,and the predictive efficacy of combined detection of the two is better than that of separate test.

Objective:To summarize the experience using laparoscopic Heller myotomy combined with Dor fundoplication for the treatment of achalasia of cardia.Methods:This is a retrospective analysis. From Mar 2020 to Mar 2023 8 patients admitted at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital were treated surgically, including 5 males and 3 females with a mean age of (47±15) years.Results:Dysphagia was the most common preoperative symptom, followed by acid reflux. All patients underwent preoperative gastroscopy and esophageal high-resolution manometry. Most patients underwent gastrointestinal barium series,ultrasound endoscopy, and chest/abdomen/esophageal CT. All patients underwent laparoscopic Heller myotomy + Dor fundoplication, 2 cases suffered from intraoperative esophageal mucosal injury, and received intraoperative mucosal repair. Mean postoperative hospital stay was (4.38±2.23) days, and 2 cases complaining dysphagia within 1 month after surgery, treated conservatively recovered and discharged. The Eckardt score was significantly lower in all patients after surgery than before surgery ( P=0.011). Conclusion:Laparoscopic Heller myotomy combined with Dor fundoplication has good short and medium-term efficacy in the treatment of patients with achalasia of the cardia.

Objective:To investigate the correlation among physical activity,mild depressive symptoms and frontal alpha power asymmetry in college students.Methods:Seventy college students with mild depressive symp-toms who conformed to the standard of the Self-Rating Scale for Depression(SDS)of 53-62 and 70 normal col-lege students were recruited.The frontal alpha power was measured under quiet and closed-eye state,and the total physical activity(PA)was assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire.Results:The college students with mild depressive symptoms had lower Total PA scores,right frontal alpha power and frontal alpha a-symmetry(FAA)than the normal controls(P＜0.001).In college students with mild depressive symptoms,the to-tal PA scores(r=-0.29,P＜0.05)and FAA(r=-0.41,P＜0.001)were negatively correlated with SDS scores,and the total PA scores were positively correlated with FAA(r=0.34,P＜0.01).Conclusion:The college students with mild depressive symptoms may have reduced physical activity and asymmetric right lateralization of frontal alpha power.There is a correlation among depressive symptoms,physical activity and frontal alpha power a-symmetry in college students with mild depressive symptoms.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of open reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of double-column acetabular fractures by lateral rectus abdominis approach.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the data of 44 patients with double-column acetabular fractures admitted to Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from June 2015 to June 2019. There were 29 males and 15 females, with the age of 21-72 years [(41.3±8.4)years]. All patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation through a single lateral rectus abdominis approach. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss and fracture healing time were recorded. The quality of fracture reduction was assessed according to the Matta reduction criteria, and hip function by the modified Merle D'Aubigne and Postel score at last follow-up. Postoperative complications were observed.Results:A total of 40 patients were followed up and 4 patients were lost to follow-up. The follow-up time was 12-46 months [(30.5±6.4)months]. The operation time ranged from 45 to 150 minutes[(111.2±20.6)minutes], and the intraoperative blood loss was 200-1 200 ml [(398.5±78.5)ml]. The fractures were healed, with the healing time of 10 to 16 weeks [(11.8±3.3)weeks]. At last follow-up, according to the Matta criteria, the results were excellent in 29 patients, good in 7, fair in 3, poor in 1, with the excellent and good rate of 90%. At last follow-up, according to the Merle D'Aubigne and Postel score, the results were excellent in 27 patients, good in 6, fair in 6, poor in 1, with the excellent and good rate of 83%. One patient had heterotopic ossification with no impact on hip function, and no special treatment was given. One patient with the reaction of foreign body was finally controlled by anti-infection treatment, and the internal fixation was removed again one year after operation. Three patients with mild osteoarthritis were relieved by oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. Two patients with deep venous thrombosis of lower extremities were cured by anti-coagulation therapy such as low molecular weight heparin.Conclusions:The single rectus abdominis approach for open reduction and internal fixation of double-column acetabular fractures can take into account the anterior column, quadrilateral body and posterior column. Meanwhile, this approach has advantages of satisfactory acetabular reduction and functional recovery, and less postoperative complications, suggesting an alternative procedure for treatment of double-column acetabular fractures.
