Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2015;(8):1124-1127
Objective To investigate the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in colorectal carcinoma and the rela-tionship between ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and the occurrence, the metastasis of colorectal carcinoma, and to analyze the significance. Methods Immunohistochemistry staining(S-P method) was used to detect the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 on consecutive section in 78 cases of colorectal carcinoma and normal mucosa and 42 cases of colorec-tal adenomas. Plasma was obtained from 78 patients with colorectal carcinoma and 40 healthy volunteers prior sur-gery, by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results There was significant difference between the high expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in colorectal carcinoma and the low expression in normal mucosa and ade-noma(P < 0. 01). Serum ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were significantly higher in patients with colorectal carcinoma than those in normal control group(P < 0. 01). The ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 levels were not related to sex, age, tumor lo-cation and histological grades(P > 0. 05),but had significantly statistical difference between lymph node metastasis and Dukes stage(P < 0. 01). Conclusion The increase expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in colorectal cancer suggests that the ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 may play an important role in evaluation of malignant degree and judging the progress as well as the mechanism of colorectal cancer.
2.The therapeutic effects of endoscopic sinus surgery on chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps among 480 cases
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2009;16(4):619-620
Objective To discuss the factors which are related with curative effects of endoscopic sinus sur-gery of sinusitis and nasal polyps. Methods 480 patients with rhinosinusopatia who were received endoscopic sinus surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Results The curative rate was 74.5% ,improved rate was 18.1% ,ineffective rate was 7.3%,the effective rate was 92.7%. Conclusion ESS is an effective method for the treatment of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps. However,the therapeutic effects were closely related with the clinical types of lesion. Ap-propriate treatment to the diseased middle turbinate and deviated nasal septum during the period of surgery and effec-tive combined treatment after operation are very importint to the long-term therapeutic effects of ESS on these lesion.
3.Observation on 5-year effect of porous calcium phosphate bioceramics for treating stage FicatⅢ non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head in patients aged below 60 years old
Chongqing Medicine 2015;(26):3641-3643,3646
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of porous calcium phosphate bioceramics (PTCP)for treating stage FicatⅢ non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head(ONFH)in the patients aged below 60 years old.Methods A total of 41 patients (63 hips)with non-traumatic ONFH in our hospital from March 2006 to July 2009 were collected and divided into two groups.The group A (n=1 6)was performed the core decompression only,while the group B (n=25)was performed the core de-compression plus through the head-neck junction of the femur to opening the window light bulb shape focus debridement and impac-ting bone grafting combined with PTCP implantation.The various clinical evaluation indicators were observed and evaluated.Results No statistically significant differences in PRI were found at each time point in the group A.PRI at postoperative 1 month in the group B was significantly decreased than before operation,hereafter,the stable status was maintained and slightly risen again until postoperative 3 years(P =0.033).The Harris scores at postoperative all time points in the group A were significantly lower than those in the group B.The necrosis areas at postoperative 24 months,3,4,5 years in the group B were significantly decreased com-pared with before operation and lower than those in the group A.Conclusion PTCP implantation has satisfactory effect for the treatment of stage FicatⅢ non-traumatic ONFH in the patients aged below 60 years old.
4.Arthroscopic treatment of tibia insertion avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament with suture the end of ligament
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2011;31(7):779-783
Objective To discuss the indications and efficacy for treating tibia insertion avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament(PCL)by the mean of the end of ligament suture via arthroscopy.Methods Twenty-one cases of tibia insertion avulsion fracture of PCL were treated with suture the end of ligament via arthroscopy from June 2007 to June 2009,including 14 males,7 females,with a mean age of 31.5 years(range,13-52 years).The insertion avulsion fragment was fixed to the tibia with two strands of 5Ethibond threads via arthroscopy.Two bone tunnels(2.5 mm in width)were made from the anterior part of the tibia to the posteromedial(at 4:30 toward)and posterolateral(at 7:30 toward)of the tibia bone bed respectively.Then the sutures were pulled out through the two bone tunnels and tied to the door-nail.Reduction and healing of the avulsion fragment,relaxation and mobility degree of knee,and the influence of osteoepiphysis to teenage patients were observed after surgery.KT-2000 value and Lysholm score were calculated.Results All cases were followed up from 10 to 24 months,with an average of 13.5 months.All the fragments were united without displacement in all cases according to X-ray films.One case showed posterior drawer test(+),but the tibia insertion was healed.The knee extension in all cases was unlimited,and 10° to 15° flexion limitation was found in 2 cases.The average range of flexion was 140.5°±3.8°.On average,KT-2000 value was(1.2±0.4)mm,Lysholm score was 95.2±2.7.Conclusion For treating the avulsion fracture of PCL,suture the end of ligament via arthroscopic transfixion can get a reliable fixation and a satisfied function of the knee,especially,which is suitable for the small avulsion fracture fragments,the adolescent patients with premature epiphysis.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has two important functional roles, including biomechanics and proprioceptive sense. A groat propr!oceptive sense is a basis to exactly obtain highly functional exercise. ACL injury may block perception and conduction information and seriously influence motion and daily activities. A complete rehabilitation of ACL function depends on rehabilitation of both mechanical structure and proprioceptive sense. Therefore, reconstruction of joint function following ACL injury is focus on reconstruction of both joint biomechanical stability and proprioceptive sense. This study was designed by distribution and function of proprioceptive sense to analyze the altemation of propdoceptive sense following ACE injury, and to investigate the related factors and ways for rehabilitation of propriocaptive sense following ACL reconstruction.
9.Effects of Quercetin on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cell Undergoing Endothelial-to-mesenchymal Transition Induced by TGF-β1
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2017;24(2):65-69
Objective To investigate the effectsof quercetin on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC)-12 undergoing endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) induced by TGF-β1; To discuss its mechanism of action. Methods Cell activity of intervening by quercetin with different concentrations and TGF-β1 for 72 h was detected by CCK-8 method;RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect the transition of endothelial and stromal markers; Western blot was used to detect the signal transduction pathway; RT-PCR was performed to detect the transcription factors that play crucial roles in the process of transformation. Results The results of RT-PCR and immunofluorescence double staining showed that TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL) stimulated HUVEC-12 cells for 72 h to induce fibroblast phenotype, showing more interstitial markers and less endothelial markers;Western blot and RT-PCR results showed that quercetin inhibited the phosphorylation of smad2/3 in a concentration-dependent manner;After TGF-β1 stimulation, the downstream transcription factors EndMT of snail1, twist1, twist2, ZEB1, and ZEB2 significantly increased, while 100 μmol/L quercetin could down-regulate the five downstream transcription factors. Conclusion Quercetin has anti-fibrosis effects through inhibiting HUVEC-12 cells undergoing EndMT.
