Objective To investigate the value of CEUS in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant renal focal hyperechoic lesions.Methods Data of conventional ultrasound (US) and CEUS of 56 patients with single renal focal hyperechoic lesion were retrospectively analyzed,and differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lesions was performed with US and CEUS,respectively.Taking pathological diagnosis as golden standard,the diagnostic efficacy of US and CEUS were calculated and compared.Results The sensibility,specificity,positive predictive value (PPV),negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of US was 70.00% (14/20),75.00% (27/36),60.87% (14/23),81.82% (27/33) and 73.21% (41/56),while of CEUS was 80.00% (16/20),94.44% (34/36),88.89% (16/18),89.47% (34/38) and 89.29 % (50/56),respectively.The accuracy,specificity and PPV of CEUS were higher than those of US (all P<0.05).The consistency of CEUS and pathology was good (Kappa=0.761),while of US and pathology was ordinary (Kappa=0.435).Conclusion CEUS can improve differential diagnostic efficacy of renal focal hyperechoic lesions.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for simultaneous determination of 5-fluorouracil(5-FU)and its metabolites 5-fluoro-5,6-dihydrouracil (5-FUH2) in human plasma ,and apply it in the clinic. METHODS :After plasma samples were processed twice by ethyl acetate ,UPLC-MS/MS method was adopted using 5-bromouracil (5-Bru) as internal standard. The determination was performed on Acquity UPLC HSS T 3 column with mobile phase consisted of methanol-water (30 ∶ 70,V/V)at the flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The column temperature was 20 ℃,and sample size was 5 μL. An electrospray ion source was used to carry out negative ion scanning with multiple reaction monitoring. The capillary voltage was 1.5 kV;the taper hole voltage was 20 V;the desolvent temperature was 450 ℃;the desolvent air flow was 850 L/h;the cone hole gas velocity was 50 L/h. The ion transitions for quantitative analysis were m/z 129.00→41.90(5-FU),m/z 130.87→82.92(5-FUH2),m/z 189.00→42.10(5-Bru), respectively. From Aug. to Oct. 2020,10 patients with advanced colorectal cancer were treated with continuous intravenous drip of 5-FU for 46 hours were collected from Harbin Medicinal University Cancer Hospital. Steady-state plasma concentration of 5-FU and plasma concentration of 5-FUH2 were determined at 18-30 h of continuous intravenous drip. The area under the curve (AUC)for 5-FU and concentration ratio of 5-FUH2/5-FU were calculated. RESULTS :The linear range of 5-FU and 5-FUH2 were 20 to 1 000 μg/mL(R 2>0.990). The quantification limits were 20 ng/mL. RSDs of precision test were all lower than 20%,and relative error ranged ±10%. The extraction recovery and matrix effects didn ’t affect the determination of substance to be measured. Among 10 patients with advanced colorectal cancer ,the steady-state concentration of 5-FU were 180.04-622.83 ng/mL,and AUC of 5-FU ranged from 8.28 to 28.65 mg·h/L. The concentration of 5-FUH2 ranged 336.48-948.43 ng/mL,and concentration ratio of 5-FUH2/ 5-FU ranged 0.93-4.21. AUC of 5-FU in 10 patients had about 3-4 fold individual differences. CONCLUSIONS :The established method has good precision and accuracy ,high sensitivity ,and simple operation. It can be used for plasma monitoring of 5-FU in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

ObjectiveTo examine the protective mechanism of wogonin in SH-SY5Y cells cultured in the conditioned media with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced BV-2 microglia. MethodBV-2 microglia were divided into the blank group, LPS group, low concentration group of wogonin (4 μmol∙L-1), medium concentration group of wogonin (8 μmol∙L-1), and high concentration group of wogonin (16 μmol∙L-1). The LPS group was given 1 mg·L-1 LPS, and the other three groups were treated with the corresponding concentration of wogonin for 4 h and then given 1 mg·L-1 LPS. The conditioned media from these groups were used to cultivate SH-SY5Y cells. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to assess the vitality of BV-2 cells in the above groups. The contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in the supernatant of BV-2 cells were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and α-Synuclein (α-Syn) in SH-SY5Y cells was detected by immunohistochemical staining (IHC). The nuclear transfer and fluorescence expression intensity of nuclear transcription factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) protein in SH-SY5Y cells were detected by immunofluorescence staining (IF). Western blot was used to detect the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)/NF-κB pathway-related proteins in SH-SY5Y cells. ResultThe levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the supernatant of BV-2 cells in the LPS group were significantly higher than those in the blank group (P<0.01). Compared with those in the LPS group, the IL-6 content of BV-2 cells in the low concentration group of wogonin was statistically significantly lower (P<0.05), whereas the IL-6 and TNF-α contents of the medium and high concentration groups of wogonin were statistically lower (P<0.05,P<0.01). The IL-6 and TNF-α contents in the high concentration group of wogonin decreased most significantly (P<0.01), and the intervention effect was the best. Compared with that in the blank group, the expression of α-Syn protein in SH-SY5Y cells cultured with conditioned media in the LPS group was significantly increased, and the expression of TH protein was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with that in the LPS group, α-Syn protein expression in the medium and high concentration groups of wogonin showed a decreasing trend (P<0.05, P<0.01). TH protein expression was increased in the low, medium, and high concentration groups of wogonin (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, NF-κB p65 protein gradually accumulated into the nucleus, and the fluorescence expression intensity was significantly enhanced (P<0.01). Compared with the LPS group, the NF-κB p65 protein was gradually dispersed outside the nucleus, and the fluorescence expression intensity was gradually weakened in all concentration groups of wogonin. The fluorescence intensity in the high concentration group of wogonin was significantly reduced (P<0.01). Compared with those in the blank group, the expression levels of TLR4 protein, phosphorylated(p)-NF-κB p65 protein, and MyD88 protein in the LPS group were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with those in the LPS group, the expressions of TLR4 protein, p-NF-κB p65 protein, and MyD88 protein in the medium concentration group of wogonin were all significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The expressions of TLR4 protein, and MyD88 protein in the high concentration group of wogonin were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionWogonin may regulate the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway to inhibit the release of LPS-induced inflammatory factors in BV-2 microglia and protect SH-SY5Y cells, thereby reducing inflammation and achieving neuroprotective effects.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.
