Objective To explore the expression of Ras-related protein 11(Rab11)in hypoxia, the effect of Rab11 on the invasion and migration of cervical cancer cell line SiHa and its possible mechanism. Methods SiHa cells were divided into 4 groups, the normoxic blank group (normal culture in normoxia), the hypoxic blank group (normal culture in hypoxia), the negative control group [transfection of negative control small interfering RNA(siRNA)in hypoxia], the Rab11-siRNA group (transfection of Rab11 siRNA in hypoxia). Western blot was used to examine the expression of Rab11, integrin α5, integrin β3, phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase(p-FAK), phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(p-PI3K) protein, together with the expression of Ras correlative C3 creotoxin substrate 1(Rac1), which was critical in regulating cell invasion. The mRNA expression of Rab11 in the 4 groups was detected by realtime-qPCR. The cell invasion was detected by matrigel assay, while the cell migration was detected by transwell assay. Immunofluorescence was used to identify intracellular location of Rac1 in SiHa cell. Results (1) The expression of Rab11, intergrin α5, intergrin β3, p-FAK, p-PI3K and Rac1 in the normoxic blank group were 0.56±0.04, 0.33±0.03, 0.32±0.03, 0.36±0.03, 0.35±0.03 and 0.47±0.03, respectively. In the hypoxic blank group, they were 0.73±0.03, 0.74±0.03, 0.61±0.03, 0.62±0.03, 0.60±0.03 and 0.73±0.03, respectively. In the negative control group, their expressions were 0.72±0.03, 0.73±0.03, 0.59±0.03, 0.61±0.03, 0.59±0.03 and 0.72±0.03, respectively. While in the Rab11-siRNA group, they were 0.44±0.03, 0.30±0.03, 0.29±0.03, 0.30±0.03, 0.30±0.03 and 0.34±0.04, respectively. The expressions of Rab11, α5, β3, p-FAK, p-PI3K and Rac1 were significantly higher in the hypoxic blank group than in the normoxic blank group(P<0.05), and were significantly lower in the Rab11-siRNA group than in the hypoxic blank group and the negative control group(P<0.05). (2) The expressions of Rab11-mRNA were 1.000±0.000, 1.454±0.114, 1.442±0.101, 0.570± 0.046 in the normoxic blank group, the hypoxic blank group, the negative control group and the Rab11- siRNA group, respectively. It was significantly higher in the hypoxic blank group than in the normoxic blank group(P<0.05), and was significantly lower in the Rab11-siRNA group than in the hypoxic blank group and the negative control group(P<0.05). (3) By Matrigel, the invasion cell number in the normoxic blank group, the hypoxic blank group,the negative control group and the Rab11-siRNA group were 65±12, 106±16, 104± 17 and 50±11, respectively. The invasion capacity was significantly higher in the hypoxic blank group than in the normoxic blank group(P<0.05), and was significantly lower in the Rab11- siRNA group than in the hypoxic blank group and the negative control group(P<0.05). (4) By transwell assay, the migration cells in the normoxic blank group, the hypoxic blank group, the negative control group and the Rab11-siRNA group were 127±12, 169±15, 161±13 and 77±13, respectively. The capacity of invasion was significantly higher in the hypoxic blank group than in the normoxic blank group(P<0.05), and was significantly lower in the Rab11- siRNA group than in the hypoxic blank group and the negative control group(P<0.05). (5) The immunofluorescence showed that the red fluorescence intensity around nucleus was significantly increased in the normoxic blank group, the hypoxic blank group and the negative control group than in the Rab11- siRNA group. Conclusions Hypoxia could promote the invasion and migration of SiHa cells. In hypoxia, the down regulation of Rab11 expression could inhibit the invasion and migration of SiHa cells. This might be due to the decreased expression of the intergrin α5, intergrin β3, p-FAK, p-PI3K and Rac1 protein.

Objective To compared analgesic effect of sufentanil and fentanyl in surgery patients during mechanical ventilation, and to explore the rational dosage of analgesic and sedative drugs. Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. 600 postoperative critically ill patients underwent mechanical ventilation for 12-72 hours admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from April 2013 to March 2015 were enrolled. They were randomly divided into two groups, sufentanil and fentanyl was used for analgesia respectively, and 300 patients in each group. The initiate dosage of sufentanil and fentanil was 5 μg/h and 50 μg/h, and the dosage was adjusted. A postoperative pain score (Prince-Henry score) of 0-1, and Richmond agitation-sedation scale (RASS) score -1-0 were targeted. 1 mg/kg of propofol was used if patient could not fall in sleep or felt anxious after loading dose of sufentanil (5 μg) or fentanil (50 μg) for 5 minutes. The use of analgesic drugs, the proportion and dosage of propofol was observed in the two groups, and adverse reactions were recorded. Results The mean dose of sufentanil for analgesia was (0.07±0.02) μg·kg-1·h-1, and the mean dose of fentanyl was (0.67±0.12) μg·kg-1·h-1. The patients in the two groups received propofol 40 to 60 mg/h in night, and the use proportion of propofol in sufentanil group was slightly less than that in fentanyl group (25.7% vs. 28.3%), but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). It was found by subgroup age analysis that, the mean analgesic dose of sufentanil or fentanyl in patients over 80 years old was lower than that in 70-79 years, 60-69 years and < 60 years groups but without statistical significance. There were 11 cases (3.7%) and 21 cases (7.0%) patients suffered from respiratory depression in sufentanil group and fentanyl group, respectively, without statistical significance (P = 0.069). The hemodynamics of patients in two groups was stable during analgesia, and no accidental extubation due to restlessness was found. Conclusions A smaller dose of sufentanil for postoperative patients underwent mechanical ventilation with satisfactory analgesia was (0.07±0.02) μg·kg-1·h-1, but need to be added with 40-60 mg/h and a small dose of propofol to improve anxiety and sleep. The proportion of patients needing propofol addition was slightly lower than that of fentanyl.

Objective To compare treatment response according to the PERCIST1.0,RECIST1.1,EORTC,and WHO criteria in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods A total of 41 CLM patients (27 males,average age 68.48 years;14 females,average age 62.43 years) from January 2010 to September 2013 were included in this retrospective study.PET/CT scan was performed before chemotherapy and after 4-6 cycles′ chemotherapy.The baseline and the sequential follow-up 18F-FDG PET/CT of each patient were evaluated according to the PERCIST1.0,RECIST1.1,EORTC,and WHO criteria.The response was categorized into 4 levels including CR,PR,SD,PD.PET/CT images were used for both metabolic and anatomic evaluation.The concurrent diagnostic CT or MRI images (performed within 1 week of PET/CT) were also utilized when needed.The agreements of criteria were analyzed using Kappa test.The response rate (RR) and disease control rate (DCR) were compared using χ2 test.Results The RR and DCR according to the PERCIST1.0,EORTC and RECIST1.1 criteria were 31.71％(13/41) and 63.41％(26/41),31.71％(13/41) and 60.98％(25/41),17.07％(7/41) and 68.29％(28/41),respectively.The general comparison of PERCIST1.0 and RECIST1.1,EORTC and RECIST1.1 criteria showed good agreements (κ values: 0.711,0.689).Significant difference was not found in the DCR(χ2=2.000,P>0.05) but found in the RR(χ2=6.000,P<0.05) between PERCIST1.0 and RECIST1.1.Difference of DCR between EORTC and RECIST1.1 was not significant(χ2=3.000,P>0.05),while the RR had significant difference(χ2=6.000,P<0.05).The RR and DCR according to WHO criterion were 12.20％(5/41) and 70.73％(29/41),which had a good consistency with those according to PERCIST1.0 criteria (κ=0.629).Significant statistical difference was not found in the DCR(χ2=3.000,P>0.05) but found in the RR(χ2=8.000,P<0.05) between PERCIST1.0 and WHO criteria.Conclusions In evaluating CLM treatment response,anatomical criteria and metabolic criteria have a good consistency.But metabolic criteria are more sensitive for RR evaluating.

Objective To explore the expression of miRNA-181a (miR-181a) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and its effect on biological features of MM cells. Methods CD138+cells of bone marrow from 25 MM patients and 10 patients with hematological non-malignancies were purified by using immunomagnetic separation, and the expression of miR-181a in CD138+cells and MM cell lines including RPMI 8226, H929 and U266 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The effects of down-regulation and up-regulation of miR-181a expression on the biological characteristics of MM cells were studied with miR-181a antagomir and agomir. Results Compared with patients with hematological non-malignant diseases, the expression of miR-181a in CD138+ cells was upregulated in MM patients. Compared with CD138+ cells in hematological non-malignancies, high expressions of miR-181a were observed in RPMI 8226 and U266 myeloma cell line, while low expressions of miR-181a were observed in H929 cells. Down-regulation of miR-181a with 100 nmol/L miR-181a antagomir could inhibit the proliferation of U266 cells at 24,48 and 72 h [(67.1 ± 3.3) %vs. (50.5 ± 4.1) %, (71.5 ± 3.6) % vs. (52.3 ± 2.2) %, (78.1 ± 5.4) % vs. (69.5 ± 4.3) %, P < 0.05 respectively], whereas up-regulation of miR-181a with 100 nmol/L miR-181a agomir could significantly promote the proliferation of H929 cells at 24 h and 48 h [(21.2 ± 2.4) %vs. (38.5 ± 3.6) %, ( 61.3 ± 5.4) %vs. (82.2 ±6.9)%, P<0.01 respectively]. Cell cycle analysis showed that miR-181a antagomir made U266 cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase. Meanwhile, susceptibility test results indicated that the apoptosis of U266 cells induced by doxorubicin, paclitaxel and 5-fluorouracil was increased when the proliferation of miR-181a expression was down-regulated with miR-181a antagomir. In migration assay, the data showed that down-regulation of miR-181a with miR-181a antagomir could inhibit the migration of U266 cells, and the proportion of migrated cells in the experimental group (62 ± 10) %was lower than that in the control group (89 ± 12) %(P< 0.05), whereas up-regulation of miR-181a with miR-181a agomir could improve the migration of H929 cells, and the proportion of migrated cells in the experimental group (242 ± 9) % was higher than that in the control group (98 ± 8)%(P<0.01). Conclusions The high expression of miR-181a expressed highly by MM cells may promote the proliferation, migration and drug resistance of myeloma cells, indicating that miR-181a could be an important prognostic biomarker candidate, and the application of gene silencing may improve the prognosis of MM.

OBJECTIVETo determine the prevalence of occupational musculoskeletal disorders (OMSD) and its risk factors among workers in three manufacturing industries in Zhongshan, China by cross-sectional epidemiological investigation.

METHODSA total of 2 035 workers from the industries of metals (1001 persons), electrical appliances (455 persons), and furniture (579 persons), including 1 402 males and 633 females, were selected; the mean age was 32.9 ± 8.2 years, and the mean length of service was 6.4 ± 5.6 years. A revised Northern Europe Standardized Questionnaire was used for cross-sectional epidemiological investigation of OMSD.

RESULTSThe results showed that OMSD in these workers was primarily located in the neck, waist, and shoulder, with annual prevalence rates of 23.1%, 20.1%, and 15.8%, respectively. The overall prevalence of OMSD was 43.1% in metal industry, 44.0% in electrical appliance industry, and 26.6% in furniture industry. OMSD prevalence showed significant differences between different industries (χ(2) = 54.2, P < 0.01). The prevalence of OMSD in the shoulder and back increased with working years (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for OMSD were working age >10 years, safety behavior such as "bending down when lifting heavy things from the ground", and different types of industries.

CONCLUSIONOMSD is mainly manifested by neck pain, waist pain, and shoulder pain among front-line manufacturing workers in Zhongshan, and working age, poor labor posture, and different types of industries were risk factors for waist pain.

Objective:To explore the application and clinical efficacy of an innervated arterialised venous flap of the first dorsal metacarpal in reconstruction of thumb and finger pulp defects.Methods:From December 2021 to August 2022, 17 patients received surgery for reconstruction of thumb and finger pulp defects in the Department of Hand Surgery of Sichuan Modern Hospital. All were carried out in emergency surgery. The affected digits included: 3 thumbs, 4 index fingers, 6 middle fingers, 1 ring finger and 3 little fingers. After emergency debridement, a flap of the first dorsal metacarpal carrying superficial radial nerve and arterialised vein was taken for reconstruction of the defect. Donor site of the flap was directly closed with sutures. The survival and functional recovery of the digits and flaps were evaluated through postoperative follow-ups via outpatient visit and telephone and WeChat interviews.Results:Seven flaps developed blisters after surgery, which gradually subsided and healed after dressing change. The rest of 10 flaps survived smoothly, without any vascular compromise. All of the 17 patients(17 digits) had postoperative follow-up for 3-15 months, with 8 months in average. Appearance of thumb and finger pulps were good, with sensation restored to S 1-S 3+, according to the sensory function evaluation criteria of the British Medical Research Council(BMRC). According to Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, all 17 patientswere in excellent of total active movement(TAM). Conclusion:Innervated arterialised venous flap of the first dorsal metacarpal is reliable in reconstruction of the defects of digit pulps with good function and appearance. The flap is easy to take and with a satisfactory recovery of sensation.

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy between endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediat reconstruction using prosthesis implantation and open surgery. Methods: Totally 189 early-stage breast cancer patients admitted at Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery, Southwest Hospital, Third Military Medical University from January 2013 to December 2017 were enrolled. Among them, 104 patients underwent endoscopic nipple sparing mastectomy with immediat reconstruction using prosthesis implantation (endoscopic group), with an age of (41.7±6.1) years (range: 25 to 51 years), and 85 patients underwent traditional open surgery (open group), with an age of (41.6±7.7) years (range: 27 to 65 years). The operative duration, the volume of intraoperative blood loss, the volume of drainage in 3 days after surgery, postoperative complications and patients′ satisfaction of breast reconstruction were compared between the two groups using t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ² test or non-parametric test. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative complications, the rates of recurrence and overall survival between the two groups (P>0.05). The operative duration (sentinel lymph node biopsy: (178±80) minutes vs. (198±42) minutes, t=-2.082, P=0.039; axillary lymph node dissection: (204±79) minutes vs. (233±49) minutes, t=-2.952, P=0.004), the volume of drainage in three days postoperative ((183±141)ml vs. (237±104) ml, t=-2.938, P=0.004) in the open group were lower than endoscopic group. The volume of intraoperative blood loss in the endoscopic group was lower than that in the open group ((87±64) ml vs. (62±36) ml, t=3.210, P=0.002). Patients′ satisfaction of breast reconstruction in the endoscopic group was higher than that in the open group. Conclusions Both endoscopic nipple sparing mastectomy with immediat reconstruction using prosthesis implantation and open surgery are safe in oncology. Endoscopic surgery maybe more suitable alternative in breast reconstruction for early-stage breast cancer patients.
