Objective:To investigate if injury-related myofibroblast induction could occur in bronchial epithelial cells and the role of TGF-?_1(rhTGF-?_1) in epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation. Methods:Cultured bronchial epithelial cells, 16HBE-14o, were exposed to poly-L-arginine(PLA). Using a immunohistochemical method, ?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) expression was detected in those cells after being treated with PLA . Relative activity of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase(CAT) was assessed in 16HBE-14o cells, which were transiently transfected with VSMP8 plasmid containing ?-SMA promoter linked to CAT gene, at different time points after rhTGF-?_1(10 ?g/L) treatment. Results:①?-SMA positive, spindle-shaped cells emerged among the regenerated 16HBE-14o epithelial cells following damage. The number of ?-SMA positive 16HBE-14o cells increased and cell repair was delayed under rhTGF-?_1 stimulation.② CAT activity increased significantly in VSMP8 plasmid transfected 16HBE-14o cells 24 h after TGF-?_1 stimulation.

Objective To investigate the effect of double lumen tube applied in the simple negative pressure drainage.Methods Forty cases were divided into two groups by a random table method,with 20 cases in each group. The double lumen tube was used in observation group while the normal gastric tube was used in control group,then the indexes on the drainage effect and wound healing were quantized and analyzed.Results In the observation group,one case suffered obstruction at 2 -4 days,1 case after 4 days of treatment,the obstruction rate was 10%.In the control group,two cases suffered obstruction at 2 -4 days,and 2 cases after 4 days of treatment,the obstruction rate was 25%.There was significant difference between two groups(χ2 =9.212,5.021,P =0.027,0.032).There were two cases of delayed healing and 17 cases with effective in the observation group,but 8 cases delayed healing and 11 cases with effective in the control group,there was statistically significant difference (χ2 =5.833,4.800,P =0.016, 0.028).Conclusion Double lumen tube can delay the occurrence time and reduce the occurrence rate of obstruction in simple negative pressure drainage,which promotes wound healing,and it is worth popularizing and using clinically.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of totally laparoscopic radical resection of gallbladder cancer.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study was adopted.The clinical data of 30 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of gallbladder cancer at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2013 to August 2015 were collected.The patients received synchronous hepatic segmental or extrahepatic bile duct resection according to the conditions of patients,and choledochojejunostomy was applied to patients undergoing extrahepatic bile duct resection.The patients accepted postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy according to the results of postoperative pathological examination.Observation indicators included (1) operation situations,including surgical procedures,operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss and number of lymph node dissected,(2) postoperative situations,including time for outoff-bed activity,time for diet intake,time of drainage tube removal,occurrence of complications and duration of hospital stay,(3) results of postoperative pathological examination,including tumor stage and surgical margin,(4) postoperative adjuvant treatment,(5) follow-up situation including the survival of patients,tumor recurrence and metastasis.The follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect the survival of patients and tumor recurrence and metastasis up to December 2015.Count data were represented as average (range).Results All the 30 patients underwent successful laparoscopic radical resection of gallbladder cancer combined with hepatic S4b and S5 resection + lymph node dissection at N1 region.Six patients with obstructive jaundice caused by tumor invaded to extrahepatic bile duct underwent combined laparoscopic extrahepatic bile duct resection + Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy,without perioperative death.The average operation time,average volume of intraoperative blood loss and average number of intraoperative lymph node dissected were 238 minutes (range,178-430 minutes),250 mL (range,200-600 mL) and 7 (range,4-15),respectively.(2) The patients got out-off-bed activity and normal diet intake at postoperative day 2,with a average time of drainage tube removal of 3 days (range,0-25 days) and an average duration of hospital stay of 5 days (range,3-28 days).Two patients with complications were cured by symptomatic treatment.(3) Results of postoperative pathological examination showed that all the patients received R0 resection,and pathological stage showed that 12 patients were detected in Ⅰ B stage,10 in Ⅱ stage,7 in ⅢA stage and 1 in ⅢB stage.(4) One patient in Ⅲ B stage (pT3N1 M0 stage) received gemcitabine + cisplatin chemotherapy and other patients didn't receive the adjuvant treatment.(5) All the patients were followed up for a median time of 16 months (range,4-32 months),without tumor recurrence and metastasis at Trocar puncture site.There were 25 patients with tumor-free survival and 5 patiens died of tumor recurrence.Conclusion Laparoscopic radical resection of gallbladder cancer is technically safe and feasible,with a satisfactory short-term outcome.

Objective To investigate the influence of fixation of both lower limbs with negative pressure vacuum cushion and fixation of both ankles with self-made foam mat on setup errors in radiotherapy for rectal cancer.Methods A total of 12 patients with rectal cancer were enrolled in 2014 and randomly divided into group A (using negative pressure vacuum cushion) and group B (using self-made foam mat).An offline registration analysis was performed for the images of 108 times (A,B group of 54 times) of kilovoltage cone-beam CT (CBCT) before and after treatment.Grey scale translation error registration was used,and the results of registration were analyzed.The setup errors in x-axis (left-right direction),y-axis (cranial-caudal direction),and z-axis (anterior-posterior direction) were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in the absolute setup error in the y-axis between the two groups (2.13±0.64 mm vs.2.61±1.17 mm,P=0.399),while group A showed significantly lower absolute setup errors in the x-axis and z-axis than group B (x-axis:1.51±0.28 mm vs.2.70±1.05 mm,P=0.039;with an error rate of 7.41％ vs.42.59％;z-axis:1.10±0.29 mm vs.2.37±0.71 mm,P=0.002;with an error rate of 1.85％ vs.35.19％).Conclusions In the radiotherapy positioning for rectal cancer,fixation of both lower limbs with negative pressure vacuum cushion effectively avoids the translation and rotation of both lower limbs,reduces absolute setup errors,and has higher accuracy than fixation of both ankles with self-made foam mat.

Objective To investigate the survival rate and the influencing factors in lupus nephritis (LN) patients with neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE). Methods Clinical characteristics and biochemical markers of 78 patients including 59 variances were analyzed. Patients were followed up from the onset of NPSLE to death. Patient survival rate was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression model was used to analyze influencing factors. Results Sixteen (20.5%) of 78 patients died of SLE or its complications. Infection was the main cause of death (31.3%). One-, 3-, 5- and 10-year survival rates were 83.2%, 81.7%, 76.7% and 76.7%, respectively. Hypertension (RR =6.965,95% CI:1.578-30.746, P= 0.010), pulmonary infection (RR=8.171,95% CI:1.954-34.177, P=0.004)and acute renal failure (RR=6.978,95%CI:2.063-23.609, P=0.002) were risk factors of mortality, while cyclophosphamide (CTX) impulse therapy (RR =0.130,95 % CI:0.031-0.541, P=0.005) and resolution of NPSLE (RR= 0.169, 95%CI:0.042-0.679,P=O.012)were protective factors. Conclusions Infection is the main cause of death in patients of LN complicated with NPSLE. Survival rate of LN patients with NPSLE in this study is lower than those of LN and NPSLE alone reported by other authors. Hypertension, pulmonary infection and acute renal failure are risk factors of mortality, while CTX impulse therapy and resolution of NPSLE reduce the mortality and improve the prognosis.
