Objective:To investigate and compare the effect of sodium hyaluronate and chitosan in the prevention of thyroid post-operative adhesion. Methods:Totally 84 patients with thyroid operation in our hospital from August 2012 to August 2013 were select-ed, and according to the admission time, the patients were respectively divided into group A and B with 42 cases each. In order to pre-vent postoperative adhesion, group A was treated with sodium hyaluronate, and group B was treated with chitosan. The clinical curative effect of the two groups was compared. Results: The adhesion rate in group A was 14. 3%(6/42), which was higher than that in group B (3/42 7. 1%), while the difference was not statistically significant (P>0. 05). All the patients showed no bleeding, aller-gies and other adverse reactions, only in group A, 2 mild infection (4. 8%) occurred. The adverse reactions in the two groups were without significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion: Sodium hyaluronate and chitosan both have the preventive effect on thyroid postoperative adhesion with similar efficiency and adverse reactions.

Biological behavior of tumor has a close relationship with its blood supply from the tumor microvessels.The microvessel density of tumor can affect the progressiveness and prognosis of tumor directly. The application of TACE can kill the tumor cell, destroy its blood vessel, and obstruct its blood supply. The advancement of the tumor micro- vessel variation after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization is reviewed.

Gene therapy has emerged as an efficient modality to treat human diseases.This method is based on the transfer of genetic material to tissues to induce a curative effect.Gene therapy vectors are molecular constructs used to facilitate the penetration of genomic sequences inside the cells.Viral vectots have however several limitations when administered directly to the patient.They may cause significant toxicity by activating innate immunity or by eliciting an adaptive immune response against viral proteins.In addition,targeting the vector to the desired site is an issue when given systemically.The use of cells as vehicles for gene therapy vectors has many advantages.The combination of cell-viro-gene therapy has been thought as a new and promising strategy for therapy of cancer.The targeting vector to cancer stem cells will become a new direction in the field of gene therapy.In this article,we will introduce progressions,limitations and future directions of gene therapy of liver cancer.

Objective To study the 2-4 years intermediate-term clinical effects of bone-patellar tendon-bone (B-PT-B) autograft plus interface screw method and quadruple semitendinosus tendon autograft plus endobutton plate fixation method in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction after ACL injury and to estimate the correlation of various implants and fixation techniques with clinical effect. Methods A retrospective analysis was done on 104 cases with ACL injury as well as detailed clinical data from October 1998 to October 2000. ACL reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft (PT group) and kurosaka interface screw fixation were performed in 55 cases and quadruple semitendinosus tendon autograft and endobutton plate fixation (ST group) in 49 cases. The average follow up was 38.5 months in the PT group and 35.7 months in the ST group. We compared the intermediate myodynamic recovery, ROM, lachman test, pivot shift test, IKDC score, lysholm score, Werner score and X-ray view of tunnul enlargement between two groups. Results In the PT group, the circumference of thigh was (1.097?0.079) cm, shorter than that of normal side, and (0.896?0.126) cm in the ST group. The cases accounting for 82% (45/55) in the PT group and 88% (43/49) in the ST group had extension limitation less than 3?. Knee flexion limitation of 0?-5? accounted for 87% (48/55) in the PT group and 86% (42/49) in the ST group. Bilateral comparison of Lachman test less than 5 mm accounted for 93% (51/55) in the PT group and 96% (47/49) in the ST group. Negative rate of pivot shift test was 89% (47/55) in the PT group and 92% (45/49) in ST group. Bilateral comparison of AP knee laxity with 20Ib KT-1000 in laxity with less than 3 mm accounted for 53% (29/55) in the PT group and 57% (28/49) in the ST group. Lyoholm score in the PT group was increased from preoperative 69.2?6.4 to postoperative 86.7?4.3 and that in the ST group from 68.3?7.5 to 88.4?8.6. Knee motion standard of IKDC score in the PT group was 78%(43/55), which was found normal or nearly normal, and 82%(40/49) in the ST group. Patellar femoral pain Werner score was 43.0 ?6.1 in the PT group while 45.0?6.3 in the ST group. The X-ray showed that tunnel enlargement phenomena was 53% (29/55) in the PT group while 43% (21/49) in the ST group. Conclusions From 2-4 years intermediate-term follow up, there is no significant difference in ACL reconstruction using patellar tendon autograft plus interface screw method and quadruple semitendinosus tendon plus endobutton plate fixation method. Bone grafting in the donor site can reduce the incidence of anterior knee pain. Twisting technique is beneficial to overcome of the postoperative laxity caused by viscular elasticity of quadruple semitendinosus.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effect of microwave radiation at different intensities on the rat myocardium and its possible mechanism.METHODS:The rats were radiated by the intensity of 500, 1 000, 1 500 and 2 000 W/m2 with 2 450 MHz microwave for 6 min.The heart tissue was collected 6 h after microwave radiation.ATP and mitochondria complexⅣandⅤwere measured.The changes of the tissue structures were observed under transmission electron micro-scope.The apoptosis of the myocardial cells was detected by a cell analyzer.The protein level of cleaved caspase-3 was de-termined by Western blotting.RESULTS:The concentration of ATP and activity of mitochondria complexⅣandⅤsigni-ficantly decreased compared with control group in the cardiac tissues.The decreased number, morphological abnormalities such as dissolved cavitation, matrix and obvious tumefaction of mitochondria were observed under transmission electron mi-croscope.The microwave radiation induced the apoptosis of myocardial cells in the rats.The cell apoptotic rate and the pro-tein level of cleaved caspase-3 increased with increasing intensity of microwave radiation ( P<0.05 ) .CONCLUSION:Microwave radiation has obvious injury effect on the rat heart, which can cause cardiac energy metabolism dysregulation and cardiac myocyte apoptosis.

Objective: To study the efficacy,safety and relative characteristics of formulated Chinese medicinal herbs as a vascular embolizing agent. Methods: We prepared a mixture as a vascular embolizing agent from several Chinese medicinal herbs,they served as anticarcinogen and/or coagulant according to the Chinese Pharmacopeia.We studied the characteristics of the mixture through embolizing the hepatic artery in eight pigs with it. Results: The mixture was prepared as a suspension.It was easily injected through catheters and showed good histocompatibility and hemo-compatibility without pyrogenetic response and toxicity.The mixture mainly embolized peripheral arteries,maintaining occlusion for 5 weeks and without formation of collateral circulation.We found injuries of normal hepatic tissues as slight hepatocyte hydrops and focal endochyloma necrosis through optical and electronic microscope. Conclusion: This suspended mixture of Chinese medicinal herbs is safe and effective as a potential peripheral embolizing agent.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s have a low survival rate after implanted into the ischemic myocardium. However, hypoxia preconditioning (HPC) may enhance bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel proliferation and promote its survival rate. OBJECTIVE:To explore whether Pim-1 is involved in HPC protecting against apoptosis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and the relevant mechanism. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were respectively subjected to HPC for 0, 6, 12, and 24 hours. The expression of Pim-1 and apoptosis-related genes were detected by RT-qPCR and western blot. Then, the best hypoxic preconditioning time was determined as 12 hours. Then, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were assigned to one of the fol owing groups:control (without HPC), 12-hour HPC, 12-hour HPC+Pim-1 inhibitor groups. Flow cytometry analysis was used to detect the cel apoptosis, Transwel assay to analyze the cel migration ability in each group, and JC-1 kit to detect mitochondrial membrane potential. Animal models of myocardial infarction were established. One week after modeling, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were given via multi-point injection around the infarct zone of rats. Two weeks after modeling, heart tissues of rats were taken and sliced fol owed by DiI staining to calculate the survival rate of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s. Additional y, rat cardiac function was assessed by echocardiography prior to and after modeling as wel as at 4 weeks after cel transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 12 hours after HPC, the expression of Pim-1, p-Akt and Bcl-2 gene in the infarct region was significantly increased, but the expression of caspase-3 and Bax was significantly decreased. Compared with the control group, cel viability in the 12-hour HPC group was increased very significantly at 1 week after cel transplantation (P<0.001), the migration and anti-apoptosis ability were enhanced significantly (P<0.01) and the cardiac function of rats was significantly improved in the 12-hour HPC group (P<0.05). Al of these protective effects were blocked by the Pim-1 inhibitor. These findings indicate that HPC can protect bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from apoptosis through activating Akt and up-regulating Pim-1, and thereby improve the therapeutic effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on ischemic heart diseases.
