Objective To evaluate the relationship between the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients.Methods Eighty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients,aged 65-85 yr,weighing 50-80 kg,scheduled for elective total knee replacement under spinal-epidural anesthesia were enrolled in this study.Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was extracted after a catheter was successfully inserted into subarachnoid space.Blood samples from the cubital vein was collected before anesthesia induction (T0) and at 24 and 72 h after surgery (T1,2).The concentrations of TREM1 and TREM2 in CSF and plasma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in plasma were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The expression of TREM1,TREM2,IL-6 and TNF-α protein and mRNA in mononuclear ceils in peripheral blood was detected using real-time polymerase chain reaction.Neuropsychological test was performed in the the same time period at 1 day before surgery and 7 days after surgery,and the Z score was used to diagnose the development of POCD.The patients were divided into POCD group (P group) and non-POCD group (NP group) according to whether or not POCD happened after surgery.Results The incidence of POCD was 22％.Compared with group NP,the plasma TREM1 concentrations at T1,2 and plasma IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations at T2 were significantly increased,and the expression of TREM1 mRNA and TNF-α mRNA at T1,2 and IL-6 mRNA at T2 was up-regulated in group P (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in plasma TREM2 concentrations at each time point between and within groups (P＞0.05).There was a higher consistency between plasma and CSF TREM1 concentrations (Cronbach's Alpha=0.784,P＜ 0.01) and a high consistency between plasma and CSF TREM2 (Cronbach's Alpha =0.935,P＜0.01).Conclusion Up-regulated expression of central and peripheral TREM1 is related to the development of POCD in elderly patients.

Objective In order to meet the needs of maxillofacical bone defect repair, the aim of this study was to synthesize graphene oxide(GO) modified three-dimensional conneted nano- zirconia(ZrO₂) bone tissue engineering scaffold and evaluate its surface morphology, compressive strength and cytocompatibility. Methods GO was synthesized by a modified Hummers method and then was testified by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. ZrO₂ scaffold was modified by different concentrations(0.5,1.0,1.5mg/mL) of GO dispersion via a silane-mediated method. The composite scaffold with uniform GO coating was chosen for compressive strength test and co-cultured with human dental pulp stem cells(hDPSCs). Actin staining was used to observe the growth of the cells on the scaffold, and MTS was used to detect the cell activity. Results The characterization results showed that, under scanning electron microscope, the GO was flaky and the surface morphology of folds could be seen. Part of the GO layer folds up at the edge. Under transmission electron microscopy, the GO was clearly observed to have a gossylike, translucent and slightly wrinkled lamellar structure. The crystal structure in this area in the high-resolution filter image showed a six-member ring structure like graphite. Under high power electron microscope, the 1.0mg/ml GO-ZrO₂ scaffold could be seen to deposit a thin layer of GO at the crack of the scaffold skeleton, connecting the two ends of the crack, and lamellar GO with folds could be observed on the surface of ceramic particles. The comparison of mechanical properties showed that the compression strength of GO-ZrO₂ scaffold was sgnificantly increased compared with that of ZrO₂ scaffold[（1.292±0.087）vs（1.031±0.076）, P<0.05]. Compared with the simple ZrO₂ scaffold, the GO-ZrO₂ scaffold showed more dense extension and adhesion to the surface of scaffolds, showing more active cell proliferation. The cell viability test showed that the viability of hDPSCs was significantly improved on GO-ZrO₂ scaffold after 1, 3 and 5 days of proliferation compared with the simple ZrO₂ scaffold(P<0.05). Conclusion The ZrO₂ scaffold modified by GO improved compressive strength, promoted the early proliferation of hDPSCs with good cytocompatibility.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical and pathologic features of gliosarcoma of cerebral hemispheres.

METHODSThe clinicopathologic features of 10 cases of gliosarcoma involving cerebral hemispheres were reviewed. Immunohistochemical study was carried out using EnVision method.

RESULTSThe mean age of the patients was 54 years and the male-to-female ratio was 6 to 4. Clinical symptoms included headache (6/10), nausea/vomiting (5/10), and sensory or motor impairment (4/10). Nine of the cases were primary gliosarcoma, with maximum diameter ranging from 2.4 to 5.5 cm (mean = 4.2 cm). The remaining case represented secondary gliosarcoma involving skull base and extracranial tissues. Histologic examination showed a biphasic pattern in all cases. Regarding the glial component, there were 9 cases of pleomorphic glioblastoma and 1 case of giant cell glioblastoma. Reticulin stain was positive in all cases. Immunohistochemical study showed that the tumor cells variably expressed GFAP (10/10), p16 (4/10), EGFR (1/10), CD68 (1/10) and p53 (6/10). The Ki-67 index ranged from 15% to 70% (mean = 34%). Six patients had follow-up data available. One patient was disease-free for 45 months and 5 patients died of the disease at 3 to 17 months after the operation (mean duration of survival = 9 months).

CONCLUSIONSGliosarcoma is a highly aggressive tumor, often locates in the deeper part cerebral hemispheres and has a relatively short duration of symptoms. It carries a poor prognosis. GFAP immunostain and reticulin stain are helpful in confirming the diagnosis. p53 and p16 are also expressed in some cases.

Objective To study the development of the first county-level key clinical specialized talent teams in Henan province. Methods Data on the first 30 county-level key clinical specialized talent teams were collected through questionnaire in 2014 and 2017 respectively, and signed rank sum test was conducted to analyze such facts as the changes of medical service volume, academic titles and scientific researches of discipline leaders before and after such construction. McNemar′s test and chi-square test were conducted to study the age structure, seniority, education and technical title makeup of these discipline leaders. Such tests were also conducted to study the age structure, seniority, education and technical title makeup of the talents. These efforts aim to discern the construction achievement of the key clinical specialties. Results The indexes of healthcare capacities of the first batch of clinical key specialties were observed as improved ( P <0. 05 ) in terms of the medical service volume. Of the discipline leaders′ age structure, the 51 -60 age groups accounted for 40. 0％ and 66. 7％ respectively, before and after the construction, scoring a difference of statistical significance ( P <0. 05 ); the number of senior physicians increased by 80 persons, the number of physicians having master or above titles increased by 40 persons;the number of physicians participating in continuing education held by these specialties grew from 146. 50 to 262. 50(P<0. 05). Conclusions The volume of medical service of the first batch of county-level clinical key specialties has been elevated, and a group of talents of high education and senior titles have been recruited. Whereas, the title structure needs to be improved, and more young academic leaders are expected, while more opportunities of further education and training are also expected for the physicians, in order to enhance their professional ability.
