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 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.

Objective:To investigate the application value of magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) in pelvic fractures with lumbosacral plexus injury.Methods:From January 2014 to June 2020, data of 9 patients with pelvic fractures combined with lumbosacral plexus injury who were diagnosed with MRN and were performed surgical treatment were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, there were 8 males and 1 female, aged from 18 to 54 years, with an average age of 40.6±11.0 years. There were 2 fresh fractures within 3 weeks and 7 old pelvic fractures in 9 patients. According to AO classification, there were 6 cases of C1.3 type, 3 cases of C3 type. According to Denis classification of sacral fracture, there were 8 cases of Denis II type, 1 case of Denis III. Gibbons classification of nerve injury: 2 cases of grade II, 4 cases of grade III, 3 cases of grade IV; According to the criteria by the Nervous Injury Committee of British Medical Research Council (BMRC): 2 cases of M1, 3 cases of M2, 2 cases of M3, 2 cases of M4. Before the operation, the MRN technology was used to accurately locate the location and extent of the lumbosacral nerve injury, and nerve exploration release or internal fixation combined with nerve exploration release was employed for treatment.Results:All 9 patients underwent surgery successfully. The operation time ranged from 150 to 360 min, with an average of 217.8±63.8 min; intraoperative blood loss ranged from 200 to 1 100 ml, with an average of 388.9±293.4 ml. All patients were followed up for 21.6±19.3 months. All the fractures were healed, and the healing time was 12.7±2.2 months (range, 10-18 months). At the last follow-up, Gibbons classification of nerve injury: 3 cases of grade I, 5 cases of grade II, and 1 case of grade III. According to the criteria of BMRC: the muscle strength achieved M5 in 6 cases, M4 in 2 cases, M3 in 1 case. One patient developed a urinary system infection 2 months after discharge and recovered after treatment.Conclusion:MRN technique can assist the surgeon to fully understand the compression and traction damage of the lumbosacral nerve by the fracture before the operation, and make clear qualitative and localized diagnosis of the nerve damage, making the operation more precise and minimally invasive, which is a supplement to the traditional diagnosis method of lumbosacral plexus injury.

Objective:To explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment experience of pelvic fracture complicated with anterior sacroiliac joint dislocation.Methods:The data of 19 patients with pelvic fracture and anterior sacroiliac joint dislocation admitted from June 2013 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 12 males and 7 females; aged 9-67 years, with an average of 28.0 years. There were 11 cases of traffic accident injury, 6 of falling injury and 2 of crashing injury caused by machine extrusion. According to the Tile classification, there were 8 cases of type C1, 2 of type C2, and 9 of type C3; 6 cases of modified mangled extremity severity score (MESS) were greater than or equal to 7, of which 2 cases underwent hip amputation, 4 cases underwent king-steelquis semipelvectomy. 13 cases underwent limb-salvage surgery, of which 3 cases underwent external fixation surgery, and the remaining 10 cases underwent open reduction and internal fixation with steel plate. The reduction quality was evaluated according to the Matta imaging criteria of pelvis, the pain was evaluated according to the visual analogue scale (VAS), and the pelvic function was evaluated according to the Majeed score.Results:The operation time was 2 to 4 hours, with an average of 3.2 hours; the intraoperative blood loss was 400 to 1 200 ml, with an average of 768.4 ml. The 18 surviving patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months, with an average of 11.6 months. One of the 6 amputation patients died one week after the operation due to septic shock and multiple organ failure. The overall survival rate of the patients was 94.7% (18/19), and the amputation rate was 31.6% (6/19). The pelvic fractures of the 18 surviving patients were all healed, and the fracture healing time was 3 to 6 months, with an average of 4.2 months. No delayed union or nonunion occurred. At the last follow-up of the 18 surviving patients, the VAS was 2.4±1.9 points (range, 0-6 points). Among them, there were no pain in 3 cases, mild pain in 9 cases and moderate pain in 6 cases. At the last follow-up, 13 patients undergoing limb salvage treatment evaluated the quality of reduction according to Matta imaging criteria. Among them, 6 cases were excellent, 4 were good, 2 were fair, and 1 was poor. The excellent and good rate was 76.9% (10/13). The Majeed functional score was 81.8±11.9 points (range, 53-95 points). Among them, 6 cases were excellent, 5 were good, 1 was fair, and 1 was poor. The excellent and good rate was 84.6% (11/13). In the limb salvage treatment group, 4 patients with lumbosacral nerve injury caused limited hip joint movement function, and unilateral lower limb sensation and movement were weakened. After neurolysis and nutritional support treatment, the patient's sensorimotor function was significantly improved.Conclusion:The mortality and disability rate of pelvic fractures combined with anterior sacroiliac joint dislocation is high. In order to save the patient's life, early diagnosis of limb injury and early surgical intervention should be performed. If necessary, hip disarticulation or king-steelquis should be selected.
