Objective To investigate the mechanism of unbalanced expressions of endothelin receptors (ETA/ETB )in cerebral vasospasm (CVS)after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).Methods The rat CVS models were established by injecting autologous blood into the cisterna magna the second time.Basilar artery morphology was observed under light microscope and immunofluorescence staining was conducted to dynamically detect ETA/ETB receptor expression.Results The cross-sectional area of the basilar artery in the SAH model group decreased at 2 d to 3 d,and then gradually returned to normal.ETA receptor expression in endothelial cells of the basilar artery increased at 2 d after SAH,peaked at 3 d and remained increased till 14 d.ETB receptor expression increased significantly in endothelial cells at 3 d,peaked at 7 d and remained the same level till 14 d.Conclusion The results suggest that ETA/ETB receptors play an important role in cerebral vasospasm after SAH.The specific expression differences of ETB receptor subtypes in the brain vascular layers need further study.

Objective:
To explore the therapeutic effect of subcutaneous negative pressure drainage and absorbable suture in preventing postoperative complications of cranioplasty.
Methods:
The clinical data of 175 cases of skull defect admitted and treated in Department of Neurosurgeryof the Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical University from January 2012 to February 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the different intraoperative treatment methods, 97 cases were treated with thread suture to the galea aponeurotica combined with general drainage(the general drainage group), and 78 cases were treated with absorbable suture to the galea aponeurotica combined with negative pressure drainage(the negative pressure drainage group). The galea aponeurotica were sutured intermittently with both silk thread and absorbable suture, and the drainage tube was placed outside the metal titanium plate under the skin, and removed after 48-72 hours.The postoperative complications of the two groups were compared.
Results:
The incidence rates of subcutaneous hemorrhage, knotting reaction, infection of incision in the negative pressure drainage group were 1.3%(1/78), 0.0%(0/78), and 0.0%(0/78), respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the average drainage group[11.3%(11/97), 20.6%(20/97), 7.2%(7/97)], the differences were statistically significant(χ2=6.85, 18.16, 4.13, all

Malignant cancer is a kind of fatal disease with severe threat to human health and social development, and seeking a scientific method for the proper diagnosis, treatment and assessment has become one of the most important public health problems in recent years. With the constant development in healthcare industry, traditional methods of tumor screening, prevention and prognosis assessment have made a rapid progress. However, owing to the characteristics of tumor heterogeneity and patient individuation, precision medicine mode in disease screening, diagnosis and treatment will become a general trend in future medical development. As an important part in precision medicine, gene variation detection in the field of tumors involves several aspects, including early screening, recurrence monitoring, guidance on use of targeted drugs and assessment of efficacy and prognosis etc; However, there are still many limitations in its clinical practice. Therefore, further research is needed to promote the development of tumor precision medicine. In this paper, the development history of gene variation detection and its application progress in precision medicine of malignant tumors are comprehensively discussed.

【Objective】 To investigate the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid exosome-derived miR-630 and the function of brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs). 【Methods】 The subarachnoid hemorrhage endothelial cell model was established to evaluate the effect of hemorrhagic cerebrospinal fluid (BCSF) on BMECs’ proliferation by MTT assay and cell cycle analysis. qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect the expressions of endothelial cell tight junction protein (ZO-1) and adhesion molecule (ICAM-1 and VCAM-1). Changes in NOx concentration were detected by radioimmunoassay. The cerebrospinal fluid exosomes in the experimental group (co-incubated with BCSF) and the control group (normal cerebrospinal fluid) were isolated and identified, and differences in the expressions of cerebrospinal fluid exosomal miR-630 between the two groups were compared. BMECs work changes after the intervention with miR-630 analogue were observed. 【Results】 The proliferation of BMECs was significantly inhibited in the experimental group; the mRNA and protein levels of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and ZO-1 were significantly decreased, and the function of endothelial cells was significantly inhibited (P<0.05). After the successful separation and identification of cerebrospinal fluid exosomes, the expression of miR-630 was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). The function of BMECs was significantly improved with miR-630 mimics. 【Conclusion】 The low expression of miR-630 in cerebrospinal fluid exosomes after subarachnoid hemorrhage is closely related to BMECs injury.

Marsupialization is effective in the treatment of cystic lesions of the jaw. It is a simple operation that can result in minimal trauma, the reduction of postoperative recurrence, and maximum preservation of the surrounding tissue structure and function. However, there is a certain failure rate in clinical treatment due to the improper grasp of indications and nonstandard operation. The highest failure rate reported in the literature is 32.6%. To further standardize the clinical application of marsupialization and improve the success rate of treatment, we put forward an expert consensus of marsupialization in the treatment of jaw cystic lesions by reviewing the domestic and foreign literature and summarizing the experience in marsupialization from some famous domestic experts. In this consensus, we propose three elements of marsupialization: the establishment of the opening, the maintenance of cyst plugs and regular washing. The scope of application of marsupialization includes jaw cysts and cystic ameloblastomas. It is necessary to standardize the position of the opening, the size of the opening and the manufacture of the cyst plug, and a panoramic film or cone beam computed tomography(CBCT) should be used to observe the changes in the cystic cavity before and after operation. A second-stage operation should be performed when the lesion is significantly reduced by more than 50% or at least 5 mm from important structures; furthermore, the teeth of focus should be treated according to the relationship between the lesion and tooth and the type of tooth.
