Objective To explore the effect of DNA methylation inhibitor 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) on proliferation and tumor suppressor gene PRDM1α expression in Burkitt's lymphoma cell line NAMALWA. Methods MTT was used to study the impact of DNA methylation inhibitor on proliferation in NAMALWA cells,and comparative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) with SYBR Green assay was used to detect PRDM1α gene expression. Results MTT results showed that 5-AzaCdR inhibited proliferation of NAMALWA cells in a dose-dependent manner.After treated with 5-Aza-CdR for 72 h at 0.01,0.0625,0.1,0.125,0.25,0.5,1,2 and 4 μmol/L,the inhibition rates were 21.93 ％,39.23 ％,47.69 ％,50.37 ％,53.54 ％,57.72 ％,62.31％,65.68 ％,67.87 ％,respectively,and the differences of absorbance among the groups were also statistically significant (all P＜ 0.01). Meanwhile, 5-Aza-CdR could induce the re-expression of PRDM1α, and △Ct of 0.5, 1, 2 μmol/L groups showed significant differences compared with control group (all P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion DNA methylation inhibitor 5-Aza-CdR can significantly inhibit the proliferation of Burkitt' s lymphoma cell line NAM ALWA,and the possible mechanism of this inhibition may be induction of demethylation and re-expression of PRDM 1α.

Objective To investigate the impact of human adipose-derived stem cells(hASCs) -plastelet-rich plasma(PRP) composite on the wound healing of radiation skin injury of nude mice.Methods ASCs were isolated from healthy adults after liposuction, conducted primary culture and subculture.PRP was prepared by two-step ultracentrifugation.The ASCs-PRP composite was prepared with ASCs (1 ×107cells/ml) at passage 6 and PRP.Twenty-four nude mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=6).A round shaped full-thickness skin defect (D=1cm) was made on the mice back after 20Gy (60Co) round shaped exposure (D=2cm).Right after radiation, wounds were treated as follows,in group A,there was ASCs+PRP, in group B, PRP,in group C, ASCs,in group D, sham group.The wounds were observed at postoperative 7 and 14 days.HE and CD31 stain were observed at 14th days after surgery.Results The wound healing of group A healed completely at 14th days.In group D,the wound healing were slowest and still filled with granulation tissue at 14th days.The wound healing of group B and group C were faster than that of group D, but they haven′t healed completely at 14th days.The inflammatory cells were significantly lower and the blood vessel density positive rate were significantly higher in ACSs+PRP group than in ACSs group,PRP group and sham group (P<0.05).Conclusion ASCs-PRP Composite can accelerate the wound healing of radiation skin injury by promoting wound angiogenesis.

Aim: To study the effects of berberine( Ber) on the rapidly activating component( Ⅰ_(Kr)), the slowly activating component(Ⅰ_(Ks)) of the delayed rectifier potassium current and the inward rectifier potassium current(Ⅰ_(K1)) in cardiomyopathic guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Methods: After guinea pigs were ip L-thyroxine 0. 5 mg/kg for 10 d, their hearts were cardiomyopathic. Then whole cell patch-clamp recording technique was used to observe the effect of 30 μmol/L Ber on the Ⅰ_(Kr), Ⅰ_(Ks) and Ⅰ_(K1) in cardiomyopathic guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Results: In cardiomyopathic guinea pig ventricular myocytes, Ber 30 μmol/L markedly inhibited Ⅰ_(Kr) and Ⅰ_(Ks) by 22. 8% and 29. 5% at + 10 mV and + 80 mV, respectively. The effect of Ber on Ⅰ_(Ks) was greater than that on Ⅰ_(Kr). Ber 30 μmol/L also inhibited the inward component of Ⅰ_(K1) by 29. 1% at + 120 mV, but the reverse potential of Ⅰ_(K1) was unaffected. Ber( 1-300 μmol/L) was shown to inhibit Ⅰ_(Kr) and Ⅰ_(Ks) in a concentration-dependent manner. Their IC_(50), were 76. 74 μmol/L and 55. 37 μmol/L, respectively. Conclusion: Ber inhibited Ⅰ_(Kr),Ⅰ_(Ks) and Ⅰ_(K1) in cardiomyopathic guinea pig ventricular myocytes, which may be important in understanding the antiarrhythmic effects of this drug.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of Ender nail fixation in the management of pediatric femoral shaft fractures. Methods A total of 24 children with femoral shaft fracture underwent small incision Ender nail internal fixation followed by 4 weeks of monolateral hip spica-cast immobilization. Results Follow-up observations for 6~24 months revealed no non-union or delayed union. The affected limbs were found within 1 cm shorter or longer than the contralateral in 4 cases. None became lame, and the functions of lower limbs were completely recovered. Conclusions So far as indications and contra-indications of Ender nail fixation are strictly followed, this treatment for femoral shaft fractures in children of age 5~10 years gives characters of small incision, anatomic reduction, unimpaired periosteum, short hospital stay, and quick functional recovery.

Objective To introduce the clinical experience and investigate the significance and safety of harmonic scalpel combined with meticulous capsular dissection technique in thyroidectomy.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 275 patients who underwent thyroidectomy among which 135 patients were treated by capsular dissection technique and harmonic scalpel (harmonic scalpel group),the other 140 patients were treated by electric knife and traditional ligation (traditional group).The thyroidectomy operative time,intraoperative bleeding volume,postoperative drainage volume and surgical complications were compared between two groups.Results In harmonic scalpel group,the thyroidectomy operative time of total thyroidectomy and subtotal thyroidectomy was significantly shorter than that in traditional group [(50.0±6.9) min vs.(82.0± 14.4) min,(39.9±6.6) min vs.(73.1 ± 14.5) min](P＜0.01).The intraoperative bleeding volume of total thyroidectomy and subtotal thyroidectomy in harmonic scalpel group was significantly lower than that in traditional group [(18.7 ± 10.9) ml vs.(41.9 ± 15.6) ml,(17.7 ± 9.3) ml vs.(42.2 ± 14.6) ml] (P ＜ 0.01).The postoperative drainage volume of total thyroidectomy and subtotal thyroidectomy in harmonic scalpel group was significantly lower than that in traditional group [(40.7 ± 11.7) ml vs.(53.9 ± 17.5) ml,(42.7 ± 14.5) ml vs.(61.8 ±22.9) ml](P＜0.01).The rate of temporary hypoparathyroidism and temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy had no significant difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Application of harmonic scalpel combined with meticulous capsular dissection technique in thyroidectomy can significantly reduce thyroidectomy operative time,intraoperative bleeding volume,postoperative drainage volume and surgical complications.Harmonic scalpel combined with meticulous capsular dissection technique in thyroidectomy should be widely used.

The records of 10 consecutive cases that sustaining traumatic CCF were retrospectively reviewed.The age of cases ranged from 18 to 55 years old, and all of them were complicated with fracture of orbit and base of skull.The causes of injuries, the characteristics of ocular manifestations,the findings in CT or cerebral angiography, and methods of treatment of CCF were analysed. The results showed that 9 cases were cured by operation (90%). The cavernous sinus fistulae were closed. The ocular signs such as exophthalmos, vascular murmur in eyelid and conjunctival swelling disappeared.One case had remaining exophthalmos.Nine patients who were cured were followed up for 6 months to 10 years.No ocular signs recurred in all cases. In 2 cases there were mild complications.It suggested that the pulsating exophthalmos,vessel murmur in eyelid and marked conjunctival vessel dilatation were the characteristics of ocular manifestations in CCF. Endovascular embolization with detachable balloon or spring coil is currently the treatment of choice and it is efficacious and safe in traumatic CCF.

Objective:To explore the effect of different doses of lidocaine on recovery quality of patients with iodine-deficiency goiter after general anesthesia resection.Methods:Using a prospective design, 108 patients who underwent iodine-deficiency goiter resection in Yantai Yeda Hospital from April 2018 to April 2020 were selected as the research subjects. The patients were divided into control group (normal saline), lidocaine group A (1 mg/kg) and lidocaine group B (2 mg/kg) by random number table method, 36 cases in each group. The corresponding dose of lidocaine or the equivalent dose of normal saline was pumped into the vein after anesthesia induction and intubation for 30 minutes. The changes in the diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and blood glucose (GLU) levels of the three groups were observed before administration, immediately after the operation, immediately after opening the eyes, immediately after extubation, and 10 minutes after extubation; at the same time, arousal and restlessness score (RS), sedation score (Ramsay), visual analogue score (VAS) and adverse reactions(coughing, nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression) occurrence were recorded.Results:At the moment of eye opening, immediately after extubation and 10 minutes after extubation, DBP (mmHg: 77.26 ± 4.85, 73.45 ± 4.37, 70.94 ± 4.45, 83.53 ± 6.19, 77.86 ± 5.33, 74.14 ± 5.20, 73.86 ± 5.73, 68.41 ± 5.16, 63.09 ± 5.24), SBP (mmHg: 129.17 ± 6.54, 121.25 ± 6.07, 116.24 ± 5.86, 137.48 ± 6.62, 129.53 ± 6.38, 123.07 ± 6.25, 125.65 ± 6.13, 117.48 ± 6.09, 108.17 ± 6.04), GLU level (mmol/L: 5.83 ± 0.36, 5.37 ± 0.29, 5.12 ± 0.26, 6.69 ± 0.34, 5.84 ± 0.30, 5.57 ± 0.27, 5.61 ± 0.32, 5.25 ± 0.31, 4.97 ± 0.28) of lidocaine group A and lidocaine group B were significantly lower than those of control group, the difference were statistically significant ( F=17.520, 25.755, 36.034, 41.028, 45.525, 74.330, 10.397, 49.756, 52.348, P < 0.05); among them, the DBP, SBP and GLU levels of lidocaine group A and lidocaine group B were lower than those of control group, and lidocaine group B was lower than lidocaine group A ( P < 0.05). The RS and VAS of lidocaine group A and lidocaine group B were significantly lower than those of control group, and Ramsay was higher than that of control group ( P < 0.05); and the RS and VAS of lidocaine group B were lower than those of lidocaine group A, the Ramsay was higher than that of lidocaine group A ( P < 0.05). The incidence of coughing, nausea and vomiting in lidocaine group A and lidocaine group B were lower than those in the control group ( P < 0.05); and there was no respiratory depression in the three groups. Conclusions:Thrity minutes after induction of anesthesia, continuous pumping of 2 mg/kg lidocaine can maintain blood pressure and GLU of patients undergoing general anesthesia for iodine-deficiency goiter, and effectively reduce restlessness, pain and adverse reactions during the recovery period. It is a satisfactory dose for thyroid surgery patients to wake up and comfortably.
