Objective To construct shRNA expression vector of SURVIVIN for RNAi-mediated therapy of lung cancer.Methods DNA templates of SURVIVIN shRNA were designed,synthesized and cloned into the shuttle vector to get recombinant plasmids.After plasmids were transfected into A549 cells,the one with the most repression was screened by means of RT-PCR.Then MTT and Western blot were done to ascertain whether the proliferation of A549 cells were inhibited and SURVIVIN was down-regulated.Results The recombinants were constructed and screened successfully.The proliferation of A549 cells and SURVIVIN expression were repressed.Conclusion Mediated by RNAi,SURVIVIN expression was down-regulated,which suggested a potential gene therapy of huaman lung cancer.

Objective To explore the repair method for refractory diabetic wound. Methods A total of 206 patients with refractory diabetic foot ulcers were treated with proper surgical treatments.Results Of all, 106 patients were treated by skin flap (51.5 % ), with one stage wound healing rate of 85.8%; 122 patients were repaired with split-thickness skin graft ( 59.2% ), with survival rate of the graft for 79.5%. Simple toe amputation was made in 34 patients (46 toes). The high level amputation was performed in 56 patients (27.2%). Of all, 132 patients were followed up for 6-18 months, which showed that ulcer recurred in 12 patients (9.1%). Conclusion Timely and effective treatment as well as flap and skin graft repair could reduce high level amputation rate of diabetic foot ulcer and promote the quality of life.

Objective To investigate the utility of combined test of neutrophil CD64 and C-reactive protein(CRP)for early diag-nosis of burn sepsis.Methods A prospective study was conducted in 76 hospitalized burn patients,including three groups:burn sepsis(n=27),local infection(n=31)and controls without bacterial infection (n=18)based on their diagnosis.Blood samples were collected within 24-48 h after hospital admission for analysis of neutrophil CD64,CRP,white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophils percentage (N)by flow cytometry,and bacterial culture.These parameters were re-evaluated for the patients in sepsis group 7 and 14 days after antibiotic therapy.Results Neutrophil CD64,CRP,WBC and N were significantly higher in sepsis patients than the corresponding values in the patients with local infection or control patients (P < 0.01 ).Neutrophil CD64 and CRP in the patients with local infection were significantly higher than those in the control patients without bacterial infection (P < 0.01).Neutrophil CD64 was positively correlated to CRP.Neutrophil CD64 and CRP decreased 7 days after an-tibiotic therapy,but the difference was not statistically significant compared to the pretreatment levels.Neutrophil CD64 and CRP decreased significantly 14 days after antibiotic therapy compared to the pretreatment levels (P < 0.01),but still higher than the levels in the control group.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve of CD64 + CRP combined test,CD64, CRP,WBC,N for detecting bacterial infection showed an area under curve (AUC)of 0.952,0.923,0.904,0.756 and 0.728,respectively.Conclusions Neutrophil CD64 is useful in early diagnosis of burn sepsis.The expression of neutrophil CD64 does not have significant difference between gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial infections.Combined test of neutrophil CD64 and CRP can improve the efficiency for diagnosis of burn sepsis.

Objective To explore the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on biological behavior of epidermal keratinocyte in rats. Methods A total of 40 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into control group and streptozotocin (STZ) -induced diabetes group. Of each group, 10 rats were implemented with deep partial-thickness scalding. The re-epithelialization rate was observed at the 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21th post-burn day. Histological characteristics and thickness of epidermal tissue in both groups were observed. The adhesion rate, cell cycles, apoptosis rate and migration ability of keratinocyte were measured. The accumulation of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) of epidermal tissue was observed. Results The percentages of re-epithelialized area at the 7th, 14th and 21th post-burn day were much lower in DM group than in control group (P<0.05). In DM group, the epidermal thickness was reduced obviously with obscure multilayered epithelium and less amount of prickle cells; The adhesion rates of 12, 24 h after culturing keratinocyte and the percentage of G2/M phase cells were lower in DM group than in control group (P<0.05). However, apoptosis rate of keratinocyte was higher, the amount of migration cell was significantly less in DM group than in control group (both P<0.05). There were lots of AGEs accumulated in epidermal tissue in DM group, while there were hardly AGEs in control group. Conclusions Re-epithelization blocked exists on non-healing wound in DM rats, which is related with the impaired keratinocyte biological behavior. A large of AGEs accumulate in the epidermal tissue of DM rats, which may be a important reason to inhibit keratinocyte function in diabetic environment.

Objective To study the clinical distribution characteristics of psychiatric symptoms in patients with multiple system atrophy ( MSA ) and analyze the influence factors of neuropsychiatric symptoms.Methods Twelve psychiatric symptoms were evaluated in 47 patients with MSA by the Neuropsychiatric Inventory of the Chinese version ( CNPI ) .The occurrence rate and distribution were evaluated.The correlation between the neuropsychiatric symptoms and the clinical features including gender , age, education duration, disease course, cognitive level, Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale part 3 ( UMSARS-Ⅲ) score, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part 3 ( UPDRS-Ⅲ) score, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale ( HAMD) score, Hamilton Anxiety Scale ( HAMA) score, MSA subtype and levodopa and benserazide usage dose was also analyzed .Results A total of 74.5%( 35/47 ) of the MSA patients presented at least one kind of psychiatric symptoms .The most common neuropsychiatric symptoms were depression (66.0%, 31/47) and sleep disorder (63.8%, 30/47), while the symptom of euphoria was not found.The highest mean score was found for depression ( mean score:5.23 ±1.67 ) .The CNPI scores of MSA patients were negatively correlated to the education duration and Simple Mental State Examination (MMSE) score (r=-0.238, -0.334 respectively, both P<0.01).The CNPI scores of MSA patients were positively correlated to the disease course and HAMD score ( r=0.308, 0.307 respectively, both P<0.01) .The CNPI scores of MSA patients had no relevance to the gender , age, UMSARS-Ⅲscore, UPDRS-Ⅲscore, MSA subtype and levodopa and benserazide dosage ( all P>0.05). Multiple liner regression analysis showed that HAMA and MMSE scores had the greatest impact on CNPI (r2 =0.196, 0.270, respectively, both P=0.000) .Conclusions The incidence of neuropsychiatric symptoms is high and varied in patients with MSA .The neuropsychiatric symptoms were more severe in MSA patients with lower cognitive levels and longer disease courses .

Objective:To investigate the blood pressure change in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and hypertension treated with cinepazide maleate injection.Methods:This was a subgroup analysis of post-marketing clinical confirmation study of cinepazide maleate injection for acute ischemic stroke: a randomized, double-blinded, multicenter, placebo-parallel controlled trial, which conducted in China from August 2016 to February 2019. Eligible patients fulfilled the inclusive criteria of acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores of 7-25. The primary endpoints were mean blood pressure of AIS patients treated with cinepazide maleate or control, which were assessed during the treatment period (14 days), and the proportion of the patients with normal blood pressure was analyzed after the treatment period. Furthermore, a subgroup analysis was performed to investigate a possible effect of the history of hypertension on outcomes.Results:This analysis included 809 patients with hypertension. There was no significant difference in patients blood pressure and the proportion of patients with normal blood pressure (60.5% vs. 59.0%, P>0.05) between cinepazide maleate group and control group. Conclusion:Administration of cinepazide maleate injection does not affect the management of clinical blood pressure in patients with AIS.
