OBJECTIVE:To investigate effectiveness and safety of rh-endostatin in the treatment of keloid.METHODS:Sixty-four keloid patients in Nanchong Central Hospital during Jan.2015-Jan:2016 were divided into observation group and control group by random number table,with 32 cases in each group.Both group received fractional CO2 laser treatment.After surgery,control group was given antioxidant drug and antibiotics routinely.Observation group was additionally given Rh-endostatin injection 0.1-0.2 mg/cm2 via keloid body,once a month,for twice,on the basis of control group.Clinical efficacy,symptom score after laser treatment and 2 months after laser treatment,wound healing time,wound pigmentation area and keloid area before and after treatment,the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups.RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in total re sponse rate (93.75％ vs.87.50％) and the incidence of ADR (15.63％ vs.12.50％) between observation group and control group (P＞0.05).There was no statistical significance in symptom score of control group between after laser treatment and after 2 months of treatment (P＞0.05).The erythema,edema and pigmentation scores of observation group were significantly lower than before treatment and control group,with statistical significance (P＜0.05);there was no statistical significance in skin itching and burning sensation score between 2 groups (P＞0.05).The wound incrustation time,decrustation time and wound healing time of observation group were significantly shorter than those of control group,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).Pigmentation area and keloid area of 2 groups were significantly smaller than before,and the observation group was significantly smaller than the control group,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS:Rh-endostatin can alleviate erythema,edema,pigmenta tion and other symptoms effectively,shorten healing time,and inhibit pigmentation and keloid regeneration effectively with good safety.

MicroRNAs(miRNAs)are a class of small RNA molecules which play a pivotal role in the regulation of genes involved in diverse processes.Recently,many viral-encoded miRNAs have been discovered,which suggests that viruses also use this fundamental mode of gene regulation.Although the functions of most viral- encoded miRNAs are unknown,some of them are involved in evading CTL,mediating latent infection,apoptosis suppression,etc.Uncovering the role of viral miRNAs in the pathopoiesis offers an immense opportunity not only to develope effective antiviral therapies,but also to identifying novel molecular targets for developing antiviral reagents.Therefore,recent progress on vmiRNAs was reviewed.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a newly identified class of non-protein-coding small RNAs that play important roles in multiple biological processes. Recent evidence indicates that the expression of many miRNAs is both temporally and spatially regulated by RNA editing, differential processing and tissue-specific enhancers, and the potential for ultimately designing molecular medicines based on the modulation of miRNAs seems good. A better understanding of the mechanism which regulates miRNAs is very helpful to reveal the pathogenesis of some diseases, discover novel molecular targets for treatment by interference, and develop an effective gene therapy. Therefore, the latest progress in the mechanism regulating miRNAs is summarized.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of different pressure oxygen pre-breathing in preventing decompression sickness of rats.

METHODSForty male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: decompression sickness (DCS) group and three oxygen pre-breathing groups with 1 ATA, 2 ATA and 3 ATA pressure respectively. The rats of DCS group were placed in the hyperbaric chamber and the chamber was compressed evenly within 3 minutes to depths of 7 absolute atmosphere(ATA) and held at the designated depth for 60 min, then decompressed (3 min) at constant speed to the surface pressure. After that, the rats were taken out for further detection. While the rats of oxygen pretreatment groups pre-breathed different pressure oxygen for 20 min before entering into chamber. The mortality and behavioral of rats were observed with 30 min post decompression. The dry/wet ratio of the lung, protein levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) expression were also tested.

RESULTSCompared with that of the DCS group, the mortality and morbidity of oxygen pre-breathe groups didn't change obviously. But the total BALF protein level and the inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha expression of 1 ATA oxygen pre-breathe group were obviously decreased, while the dry/wet ratio of lung as obviously increased instead (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONAlthough preoxygenation can' t obviously change the mortality and mobidity of rats, normal pressure oxygen pre-breathing can mitigate the protein infiltration in BALF and the expression of inflammatory cytokine in lung tissue.

Objective To investigate the effect of N-acetylcysteine ( NAC) on lung and heart injury of rats with a fast floating escape induced decompression sickness .Methods Eighty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly and evenly divided into four groups:control group and three NAC prevention groups .The NAC groups were treated with different doses of NAC(250, 500 or 1000 mg/kg)by intraperitoneal injection 1 h before entrance.In the control group, rats were given an equal volume of saline1h before entrance.The air was pressurized at the 2t/7 exponential rate to 1.5 MPa which was maintained for 4 min and then uniformly decompressed to atmospheric pressure .The extravehicular survival and pathological changes in the lung and heart tissue were detected 0.5 h after rat egress.Results The survival rate of rats treated with NAC 500 mg/kg(90%) was significantly higher than that of those treated with saline (65%)alone (P<0.05).There was large break and fusion in the structure of pulmonary alveolus of control group besides obvious erythrocyte exudation , cardiac muscle fibers edema ,and obvious denaturation and break .Conclusion NAC can play a protective role in rats with a fast floating escape induced decompression sickness by mitigating the injury to and inflammation of lung and heart tissue .

Objective To observe the protection of carbachol on intestinal barrier function in patients with trauma. Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. Seventy patients after trauma with a definite diagnosis of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS)from Department of Critical Care Medicine in Hebei United University Affiliated Hospital were included. According to random number table,the patients were divided into a carbachol treatment group(37 cases)and a mosapride citrate treatment group(33 cases),and all the patients in the two groups were treated by antibacterial drugs,supportive agents for organ function,surgery, etc symptomatic treatment. Based on the conventional treatment,in the carbachol treatment group,carbachol was administered through a stomach tube at the dose of 0.2 mg/kg,twice a day,and the dose was doubled if no exhaust or defecation persisted for 3 days after treatment,while in the mosapride group,mosapride citrate was given at the dose of 5 mg once and thrice a day,the therapeutic course of both groups being 7 days. On the 1st,3rd,5th, 7th day after admission,peripheral venous fasting blood in early morning was collected,the activity of diamine oxidase(DAO),expression rates of CD11b+and CD18+in polymorphonuclear neutrophil(PMN),contents of tumour necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-10(IL-10) were detected,and the clinical curative effects were observed. Results Compared to the mosapride citrate treatment group,the total effective rate was significantly higher in the carbachol treatment group on the 7th day after treatment〔70.3%(26/37)vs. 45.5%(15/33),P<0.05〕. The activity of DAO,expression rates of CD11b+and CD18+in PMN,contents of TNF-αand IL-10 in the carbachol treatment group were decreased with the extension of time,and reached valley values on the 7th day,the differences were statistically significant in the comparisons with those in mosapride citrate treatment group at the same time point〔DAO(mg/L):3.21±0.52 vs. 3.93±0.51,CD11b+:(14.89±2.16)% vs.(28.92±1.59)%,CD18+:(53.67±2.44)% vs. (72.46±4.08)%, TNF-α(ng/L):111.44±16.42 vs. 129.73±18.74, IL-10(ng/L):67.71±38.83 vs. 121.45±40.23,all P<0.05〕. At the various time points,the above indexes had no obvious changes in mosapride citrate treatment group. Conclusion Carbachol can ameliorate the ischemic/reperfusion(I/R)injury in patients with intestinal barrier dysfunction after trauma,decrease the release of inflammatory cytokines in vivo,and promote peristalsis of intestinal tract,therefore carbachol has clinical value of protecting intestinal barrier function.
