Aim To study the effect of Radix Tetrastig-ma Hemsleyani Flavone ( RTHF ) on the proliferation and invasion in lung carcinoma A549 cells as well as the possible mechanisms underlying these processes. Methods A549 cells were treated with different con-centrations of RTHF for different time. MTT assay and colone formation assay were used to detect the ability of cell proliferation. Wound healing methods and tran-swell chamber assay were adopted to determine cell mi-gration and invasion. Western blotting assay was used to detect the expression of metastasis-related proteins MMP-2 , MMP-9 , and TIMP-2 . Results RTHF obvi-ously suppressed the proliferation of A549 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner. Microscope found an apparent decrease of cells in the denude zone of cell migration and transwell testing results show that the treatment of invasion was significantly lower than the proportion in the control group ( P <0. 01 ) . The pro-tein expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were down-reg-ulated and that of TIMP-2 was up-regulated in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion RTHF inhibits the growth and invasion of lung carcinoma A549 cells, which might be achieved by down-regulating the ex-pressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein.

Objective To compare the clinical effect of VATS and thoracotomy pulmonary wedge resection in treatment of pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor. Methods 46 patients with pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor were randomly divided into the observation group(24 cases) and the control group(22 cases) ,the control group were treated by thoracotomy pulmonary wedge resection and the observation group were treated by VATS wedge resection,the intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay, prognosis and complications were compared. Results All patients of two groups were cured and discharged. The intraoperative blood loss of observation group[(46. 0±12. 3 ) ml] was significantly less than the control group [(95.2 ± 18. 6) ml] ( t = 3. 19, P < 0. 05 ), and the hospital stay was significantly shorter than the control group( t = 3.01,P < 0. 05 ), the difference of the incidence of complications of two groups was not statistically significant( P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion VATS wedge resection of pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor had features of less bleeding and quicker healing characteristics,could be worthy of clinical application.

Objective To observe the effects of standardized pain management on old patients with hip fracture. Methods From January, 2015 to June, 2016, 75 old patients (more than 58 years old) with hip fracture were randomly divided into control group (n=37) and observa-tion group (n=38). The control group accepted routine pain management, while the observation group accepted standardized pain manage-ment. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Score (VAS) of the most intensive pain, and their scores for satisfaction were compared. Re-sults There was no significant difference in VAS between two groups before operation (Z=0.845, P>0.05). The VAS was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group postoperatively (Z=5.427, P<0.001). The scores of satisfaction was more in the observa-tion group than in the control group (t=21.346, P<0.001). Conclusion Standardized pain management can significantly reduce perioperative pain in old patients after hip fracture surgery, and improve the satisfaction.

Objective To analyze histomorphometrical characteristics of bone and bone marrow tissue in the vertebral lamina of patients with osteofluorosis, and to explore the influencing factors on signal intensity in MRI. Methods Spinal MRI of 109 patients (57 men, 52 women;age range 32-80 years;mean age 52 years) with osteofluorosis from December 2001 to May 2012 was analyzed retrospectively, including 48 patients in cervical segment, 31 in thoracic segment and 30 in lumbar segment. 36 pa?tients (16 men, 20 women;mean age 51 years;age range 34-68 years) had undergone laminectomy and the vertebral lamina speci?mens were collected. The cervical MRI of 48 patients with matching gender and age (26 men, 22 women;mean age 51 years, age range 34-71 years) was selected as control group, who were from areas where fluorosis is not endemic. All patients were divided in?to vertebra low, medium and high signal groups according to T1WI of MRI. The vertebra signal to noise ratio measure and stan?dardization of signal intensity were performed. Osteosclerosis, osteoporosis and normal bone were differentiated under spinal X?ray plain film. Combined with histomorphometric analysis of vertebra lamina in 36 patients, correlation between MRI signal intensity, histomorphometric parameters of the vertebra lamina and influencing factors on signal intensity were studied. Results 77 pa?tients (70.6%, 77/109) had osteosclerosis indicated by appearance of spine under X?ray, 29 (26.6%, 29/109) osteoporosis and 3 (2.8%, 3/109) normal bone. T1WI of MRI showed 25 cases had low signal vertebra, 52 medium signal and 32 high signal. The ver? tebra SNR in patients with osteofluorosis was lower on T1WI, T2WI and short time inversion recovery (STIR) sequences, compared with control group. Those with a low versus high signal on T1WI had 6.04 times the odds of osteosclerosis (OR=6.04, 95%CI 2.44-14.91, P<0.001). Histomorphometry of vertebral lamina in 36 patients with osteofluorosis was performed, revealing that not only the trabecular bone volume had changed, but also did the adipocyte volume and hemopoietic cell volume in the bone marrow tis?sues. Compared with normal reference values, trabecular bone volume was significantly increased (47.7%± 13.3% vs. 14.7%± 4.3%) (P<0.001);adipocyte volume was significantly decreased (12.3%±9.1%vs. 50.5%±8.7%);hematopoietic cell volume was decreased (40.0%±7.0%vs. 42.5%±8.5%) (P=0.038). There were inverse associations between trabecular bone volume and adipo?cyte volume (r=-0.869, P<0.001), and between trabecular bone volume and T1WI (r=-0.851, P<0.001) found by Pearson correla?tion test. In contrast, there were positive associations between T1WI and adipocyte volume (r=0.927, P<0.001). Conclusion The vertebra T1WI signal intensity is decreased in patients with osteofluorosis, resulting from increase of trabecular bone volume and re?duction of adipocyte volume. The vertebra STIR signal intensity is decreased, mainly caused by increase of trabecular bone volume.
