Objective To analyze the clinical outcomes of using double-circle incision combined with the dermal bra technique for the correction of simple breast ptosis.Methods From March 2010 to December 2014,88 patients underwent breast ptosis correction using the technique,among which 52 cases were classified into mild ptosis,27 moderate ptosis,and 9 severe ptosis.According to the extent of ptosis,varying size of the dermal bra were designed,and the mammary glandular flap was rotated,suspended and fixed onto the pectoralis fascia.For patients with insufficient size of the dermal bra,the polypropylene mesh was used to assist glandular suspension and fixation.Follow-up duration was between 3 to 24 months,and the surgical effect was evaluated from the following aspects:wound healing,breast sensory,shape,and texture,etc.Results The 4 cases (4.5％) had hematoma,and 3 cases (3.4％) suffered from poor wound healing.No case of fat liquefaction,necrosis of the nipple and areola complex,sensory disorder of NAC,or secondary ptosis was examined.Mammary contour was slightly rigid in the early postoperative period but gradually becoming natural with soft texture 3 months postoperatively.Conclusions Double-circle incision combined with the dermal technique is worth spreading in the clinical practice of breast ptosis correction for its satisfactory outcomes and low incidence of complications.

OBJECTIVETo explore the feasibility of the transdiferentiation of human breast adipose-derived stem cells (hbASCs) into mammary epithelial-like cells after co-culturing in Transwell in vitro.

METHODSThe third passage hbASC and the HBL-100 cell line were co-cultured in a Transwell culture system for 15 days. The hbASCs were observed and identified by inverted phase contrast microscope and transmission electron microscopy, and immunocytochemistry staining in the induced and control groups.

RESULTSBoth the third passage hbASCs and the HBL-100 cell line cells could adhere and grow rapidly after co-culture in the Transwell system. After co-culture for 15 days, the morphology of some induced hbASCs changed into epithelial-like cells. Some induced hbASCs showed positive expression of CK18, CK19 by immunocytochemistry staining, and typical epithelium cells with microvilli, desmosomes and tonofilaments observed under TEM. The positive rate of CK18 and CK19 was (24.4 +/- 12.0)% and (21.6 +/- 16.4)% in experimental group, and (1.8 +/- 1.7)% and (1.1 +/- 0.6)% in control group.

CONCLUSIONThe data suggests that hbASCs may have the potential to transdifferentiate into human mammary epithelial-like cells after co-culturing in Transwell in vitro.

Objective To compare the value of intrarectal filling with water and filling in rubber sheath with water in endoluminal uhrasonography for preoperative staging of rectal tumors. Methods 215 cases of rectal tumors were divided into two groups. 120 cases using the method of filling in rubber sheath with water and 95 cases using intrarectal filling with water were diagnosed with uhrasonography. The results were compared with corresponding pathologic results for the judgment of their accuracy. Results The accuracy for the diagnosis of infiltration depth was 60.0 % in the first group and was 73.7 % in the second. The difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). The accuracy for diagnosis of metastases of perirectal lymph nodes was 82.5 % in the first group and was 80.0 % in the second. The difference has no statistical significance (P >0.50). Conclusion Intrarectai filling with water is better than filling in rubber sheath with water in the diagnosis of infiltration depth of rectal tumors, while there is no difference in the diagnosis of metastasis of perirectal lymph nodes.

Objective To estimate the clinical features of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection among acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients and the interaction of lamivudine (3TC) contained antiretroviral therapy (ART) with hepatitis virus replication.Methods From 2004 to 2010,199 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/HBV coinfected patients admitted to Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University were enrolled,including 76 cases of HIV/HBV/HCV triple infection and 123 cases of HIV/HBV dual infection.Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) were detected routinely.HBV DNA,HCV RNA before and after ART with 3TC and incidence of end-stage-liver-diseases in two groups were compared.Categorical data were analyzed by chi-square test,and measurement data were compared by t test.Results Positive rates of HBV DNA in HIV/HBV and HIV/HBV/HCV coinfection group before treatment were 45.5 ％ (56/123) and 25.0 ％ (19/76),respectively (x2 =8.429,P=0.004).The levels of HBV DNA in the two groups before treatment were (5.61±1.88) lg copy/mL and (4.70±1.84) lg copy/mL,respectively (t=2.589,P=0.003).After ART with 3TC,detectable rate of HBV DNA in HIV/HBV/HCV group decreased to 9.2％ (7/76),which was significantly lower than pretreatment (x2 =6.681,P=0.010),but serum HCV RNA increased significantly from 56.6％ (43/76) pretreatment to 72.4％ (55/76) post-treatment (x2 =4.136,P=0.042).The incidence of end-stage-liver-diseases in HIV/HBV/HCV co-infected group was significantly lower than that of HIV/HBV dual infection group (18.8 per 1000 person years vs 42.1 per 1000 person years; x2 =4.459,P =0.035) during an average of 5.6 years of follow up.Conclusion It is possible that there are interactions between HBV and HCV when the two viruses are co infected.The timing of patient enrollment might be an impact factor on study results.

BACKGROUND:It is vital to choose the appropriate carrier with low toxicity and high gene transfection efficiency in gene therapy, which is harmless to human body and environment. OBJECTIVE: To prepare superparamagnetic Fe3O4/SiO2-polyethyleneimine (PEI) composite particles. METHODS: Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared via an emulsion solvent evaporation method and superparamagnetic Fe3O4/SiO2 core shel microspheres were prepared successfuly subsequently via a modified stober method. The microspheres were further modified with PEI to obtain superparamagnetic Fe3O4/SiO2-PEI composite particles. The structures and properties of resultant composite particles microspheres were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, zeta potential and vibrating sample magnetometer. Superparamagnetic Fe3O4/SiO2-PEI composite particles were mixed with plasmid DNA at different mass ratios (29∶1, 39∶1, 49∶1, 59∶1, 68∶1, 78∶1, 88∶1). Thein vitro gene transfection ability was evaluated by Hela cels with the transfection of plasmid DNA encoded with green fluorescent protein and the transfection efficiency was determined by confocal fluorescence microscopy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: We successfuly synthesized the Fe3O4/SiO2-PEI composite particles with good dispersibility and even size distribution (about 100 nm). The surface charge was 21.07 mV, and the saturation magnetization was 28.05 emu/g that meant superparamagnetism. When the mass ratio was 59∶1, al the plasmid DNA was adherent to the Fe3O4/SiO2-PEI composite particles; when the mass ratio was > 59∶1, there were excessive Fe3O4/SiO2-PEI composite particles. Therefore, the mass ratio of 59:1 could lead to a better outcome for HeLa celltransfection. These results indicate that the Fe3O4/SiO2-PEI composite particles can dramaticaly improve the transfection efficiency of plasmid DNA compared with PEI.

Objective To analyze the infection among nursing staff after occupational exposure to human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)and status of HIV-infected nursing staff,provide basis for prevention of HIV infection among nursing staff.Methods Nurses who sustained HIV occupational exposure in a hospital between January 2004 and June 2015,nurses with positive anti-HIV and admitted to this hospital,consulted in outpatient department,as well as consulted outside this hospital between January 2001 and December 2015 were and analyzed,HIV infection status among nurse's mate was also analyzed.Results 76 nurses who sustained HIV occupational exposure didn't infect with HIV after received standard treatment and follow-up.Among 13 nurses infected with HIV,3 might be with occupational exposure infection previously,5 were with blood transfusion-related infection in the 1990s,4 were with sexually transmitted infection(including 2 male nurses who had sex with man,MSM),1 case with infection of unknown transmission route;secondary transmission occurred in 2 cases;9 nurses are still alive.The infected nurses have received effective antiretroviral treatment and then work at the logistic or administrative department.Conclusion Nurses often suffer from occupational exposure to HIV,occupational exposure infection may occur in the absence of the implementation of standardized management,implementation of standardized management is essential to avoid the occupational exposure of HIV.Sexual transmission(including MSM)has become an important transmission route for HIV infection among nurses.

Objective To investigate the expression of human epididymal protein 4 (HE4) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its clinical value.Methods From April 2014 to December 2015,Serum samples of 92 non-cancer patients diagnosed as CKD and 84 healthy controls were collected in Nantong University Hospital.HE4,BUN,Scr,Cys C and β2MG were detected.The difference of HE4 expression in different stages of CKD and the correlation of HE4 with Urea,Scr,Cys C and β2MG were analysized,respectively.ROC curve was used to evaluate the auxiliary diagnostic value of HE4,BUN,Scr,Cys C and β2MG.Results The serum HE4 expression in patients with impaired renal function was 388.2 (130.1～1 659.5)mIu/ L,(F=16.237,P=0.001).Which was significantly higher than that in the control group [38.1 (32.77 ～ 48.17)mIu/L].The serum HE4 expression was increased by the stage of renal damage and the difference was existed among different groups (P＜0.05).HE4 expression was positive related with Cys C and β2MG.The AUC of HE4,BUN,Scr,Cys C and β2MG were 0.878,0.785,0.816,0.874 and 0.819,respectively.Conlusion It needs to consider the exsits of impaired renal function when the HE4 was detected.The HE4 might be a novel early diagnostic indication for CKD.
