Objective To test different expression protein markers of the serum from B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma(B-cell NHL) between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma(FL)patients using sudace enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry(SELDI-TOF-MS)protein chip technology. Further, to test different expression of the protein markers of B-eell NHL patients after chemical therapy in order to discuss clinical significance. Methods Different expression of protein markers were analysed in serum between 54 B-cell NHL patients and 27 healthy volunteers by using SELDI-TOF-MS WCX-2 pertein chip. Meanwhile different expression of protein markers relative to pathology classification between 23 DLBCL patients and 12 FL patients were screened; and protein markers which affected prognosis of 23 DLBCL patients were screened. Results There were five specific marker proteins in 54 B-cell NHL patients and 27 healthy volunteers. Their relative molecular weights were 7974, 15 938, 3398,8564, and 8692. The protein markers of 7974 and 15 938 were at high level in patients and the protein markers of 3398, 8564 and 8692 were at low level in patients. There were two protein markers which affected the prognosis, with better outcome when the expression of 4795 and 4998 were increased. Conclusion SELDI-TOF-MS protein chip technology is a quick, easy and convenient method, with high-throughput analyzer which can screen several relatively specific protein markers from the serum of patients to diagnose B-cell NHL The relatively specific protein markers can be used to make pathology classification and to judge the prognosis of B-cell NHL, and have better clinical value.

Objective To research correlation of serum protein spectrometry and lymphoma markers for diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Whether there is relative between the protein and prognosis will be further researched. Methods Serum protein spectrometry of 62 DLBCL patients was detected by the SELDI-TOF-MS technique and Weak cation exchange 2 (WCX2) chip. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was detected by biochemistry method. Beta-2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and cancer antigen125(CA125)were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The level of LDH, β2-MG and CA125 for DLBCL patients between 11×103~12×103 protein expressed positively and negatively was analyzed. Meanwhile,correlation analysis and survival analysis were done. Results LDH, β2-MG and CA125 in 11×103~12×103protein expressed positive group were (523.30±435.96)U/L, (3.23±1.24)mg/L, (81.07±61.39)U/L respectively,and they were higher than that in negative group (P<0.05). 11×103~12×103 protein was positive correlated to LDH, β2-MG and CA125 (P<0.01). The survival time in 11×103~12×103 protein expressed in positive group,in which median survival time was 11 months, was shorter than that in negative group(P <0.01). The survival time in LDH normal group was longer than that in increased group(P <0.01). The survival time of β2-MG and CA125 had no significant difference between increased group and normal group. Conclusion LDH and 11×103~12×103 protein are expected to be prognosis indicators for DLBCL patients.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes and coordination of macrocirculation and microcirculation in rats with severe hemorrhagic shock and septic shock. Methods A total of 20 male Sprague-Dawley rats (450~550 g) were randomly divided into two groups (n = 10) : hemorrhagic shock group (H-Shock) and septic shock group (S-Shock). 40% of the systemic blood volume was withdrawn in 1 hour in H-Shock group.While in the S-Shock group, cereal ligation and puncture (CLP) was performed and then the abdomen was closed.Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) were recorded continuously. Cardiac ultrasonography and sublingual microcirculation were performed per hour till 12 hours or the rat die (End). A total of 12 hours were observed or the rat die. Arterial blood gas was measured at baseline (BL) , MAP ≤ 65 mmHg (Shock) and at the termination of observation respectively. Results The values reflect macrocirculation or microcirculation in the H-Shock group were all decreased than BL respectively at each time. In the S-Shock group, the values that reflect macrocirculation such as MAP, ETC02 and cardiac output (CO) showed no significant changes within 3 hours (P> 0.05) , while the values of microcirculation were decreased compared with BL respectively at each time (P < 0.05). With the progress of shock, the pH was decreased compared with BL in both groups, while the level of Lac were increased (P < 0.05). Conclusions The changes of macrocirculation and microcirculation in severe hemorrhagic shock are basically the same; while they are inconsistent in septic shock, the changes of microcirculation occurred earlier than that of macrocirculation.

Objective:
To observe the effects of the method of combining free superficial temporal fascia flaps with skin grafts in repairing deep wounds in posterior ankle region of extensively burned patients.
Methods:
From September 2013 to February 2017, 11 extensively burned patients with deep tissue defects in posterior ankle region were treated in our unit. Two patients had tissue defects in bilateral posterior ankle regions. The wound sizes ranged from 5.8 cm×4.6 cm to 11.7 cm×5.2 cm. Free superficial temporal fascia flaps with the same sizes as the wounds were designed and resected to repair wounds in posterior ankle regions after debridement. The proximal end of superficial temporal veins and posterior tibial veins were performed with end-to-end anastomosis, and superficial temporal arteries and posterior tibial arteries were performed with end-to-side anastomosis. Skin grafts were resected to cover the superficial temporal fascia flaps according to patients′ condition of donor sites. The donor sites were sutured directly.
Results:
All fascial flaps in 11 patients survived, while 2 skin grafts had partial necrosis, and they healed after secondary skin graft. All patients were followed up for 6 to 13 months, and the shape and function of the operation sites in all patients recovered well.
Conclusions
The method of combining free superficial temporal fascia flaps with skin grafts can repair deep wounds in posterior ankle regions of extensively burned patients. It has the advantages of good appearances in the recipient sites, strong resistances to infection of fascia flaps, minimal damages to the donor sites, short course of disease, and good prognosis of patients.

Objective:To explore the effect of free transplantation of composite tissue flap from the anterior lateral aspect of the femur in repairing head skin defects with artificial dural exposure infection.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 13 patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from April 2018 to August 2020 with craniotomy complications, including craniotomy skin and soft tissue defects combined with artificial dural exposure and infection. After preoperative anti infection treatment, the neurosurgery department participated in debridement and removed the artificial dura mater as much as possible during the operation. A composite tissue flap carrying the fascia lata was designed for the anterior lateral aspect of the thigh, and the flap artery and vein were anastomosed with the superficial temporal artery and superficial temporal vein/middle temporal vein respectively. The defect of the dura mater was repaired with the fascia lata with blood supply. The flap was used to seal the wound, and the donor site was directly sutured or transplanted with autologous medium thick skin graft. The postoperative blood supply and survival of the flap, the presence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and the healing of the donor site were observed; The observation of dural integrity and postoperative effects of skull reconstruction using cranial magnetic resonance imaging was followed up.Results:Among the 13 patients in this group, 11 patients had their artificial dura mater completely removed, while 2 patients were not completely removed due to severe adhesion. Among them, 1 patient had a residual area of 0.8 cm×1 cm, and the other had 3 residual areas, with a maximum area of 0.5 cm×0.7 cm; All transplanted skin flaps survived, with 12 cases achieving primary healing and 1 case of partial wound rupture after suture removal, which healed after conservative dressing change; All patients had no cerebrospinal fluid leakage; There was one case of partial necrosis of the graft in the donor site, which healed after supplementing the graft; Thirteen patients underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging at 3-6 months postoperatively, all of which showed intact dura mater; Among them, 8 patients have completed skull reconstruction surgery, and all of them have healed well after reconstruction, with a good appearance of the surgical area.Conclusions:For wounds with head skin defects and exposed artificial dura mater infection, free transplantation of the anterior lateral composite tissue flap carrying the fascia lata can effectively cover the wound and repair the dura mater defect, achieve good function and appearance, and create favorable conditions for later skull reconstruction.

Objective:To investigate the serotypes and epidemic characteristics of non-polio enteroviruses (NPEV) in acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases in Henan Province in 2021.Methods:Fecal specimens of 529 AFP cases reported in Henan Province in 2021 were collected for virus isolation. The VP1 regions of NPEV were sequenced. MEGA5.1 software was used for sequence alignment and a phylogenetic tree was constructed as well. The epidemiological data were organized and statistically analyzed using Excel2016 and SPSS26 software.Results:A total of 30 strains of NPEV were isolated from the fecal specimens of 529 AFP cases, with an isolation rate of 5.67% (30/529). They were belonged to group A and group B with 15 strains in each group, and no group C or group D viruses were isolated. Group A contained six serotypes and was dominated by coxsackievirus A2 (CVA2) and CVA6. Group B contained tree serotypes and was dominated by CVB3. In the population distribution, the separation rate of NPEV was the highest among children under 5 years old, which was 76.67% (23/30), and the ratio of male to female was 1.51∶1. In the regional distribution, group A viruses were mainly distributed in the central, southern and southwestern parts of Henan Province with CVA2 and CVA4 being the most widely distributed, while group B viruses were relatively concentrated, mainly distributed in the central, northern and southwestern parts of Henan Province with CVB3 being the predominant. In terms of time distribution, NPEV could be isolated throughout the year except from January to February, showing the epidemic characteristics of high incidence in spring and summer and low incidence in autumn and winter. The peak of group A virus infection was in May and the peak period of group B virus infection was from June to July.Conclusions:CVB3 was the main serotype of NPEV isolated in Henan Province in 2021. The pathogenic spectrum and regional distribution of NPEV had changed significantly compared with those in 2018-2019. In order to provide reference for the diagnosis and surveillance of AFP and maintain the polio-free status in Henan Province, much attention should be paid to the current epidemic trend of NPEV.
