Objective To compare the torque resistance effect with different types of reconstruction of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation,in order to explore biomechanical basis for clinical practice.Methods Six adult cadaver forearm were used,including 4 males and 2 females.The average death age was 64.9 years (range,36-78 years).Three were right side,3 were left side.The DRUJ dislocation model was made after the standardized resection of the palmar and dorsal DRUJ ligament.Clinic reconstruction methods of the DRUJ include trans-bone tunnel renconstruction (intra-articular reconstruction) and Looptie up reconstruction (extra-articular reconstruction).The mechanical properties as follows:torque velocity:5°/min,maximum torque angulation:90°,maximum torsion force:1 N· mm.Each limb was detected for the torque mechanic under four conditions:normal,DRUJ dislocation,intra-articular reconstruction and extra-articular reconstruction.Results Each limb was inspected for intact mechanic baseline and without the visual damage to the bone.The average pronation torque resistance on normal condition was (0.44±0.10) N·mm,(0.37±0.09) N·mm on DRUJ dislocation group,(0.45±0.09) N-mm on intra-articular reconstruction group,and (0.42±0.09) N·nun on extra-articular reconstruction group.Pronation torque resistance of DRUJ dislocation group was apparently lower than the normal group (t=2.043,P=-0.047).The pronation torque resistance reconstruction group had no significant difference with normal group.The average supination torque resistance on normal condition was (0.56±0.16) N·mm,while on DRUJ dislocation group was (0.42±0.11) N-mm,on intra-articular reconstruction group was (0.54±0.16) N·mm,on extra-articular reconstruction group was (0.51±0.13) N·mm.There were no apparent differences among four groups.Conclusion Both internal and external reconstruction could recover the rotation stability and normalize the torque resistance,without statistical difference.

Objectives To investigate whether degradation of anterior pharynx decfective-1(Aph-1) goes through proteasomal pathway or lysosomal pathway.Methods Various methods such as cell culture,Western blotting,pulse-chase metabolic labeling technique,double immunofluoresecnt staining,combined with proteasomal and lysosomal inhibition were used to check Aph-1 expression level in stable Aph-1-transfected or non-transfected neuronal(SH-SY5Y)cell line.Results Using Western blotting,treating the neuronal cells with proteasome specific inhibitors significantly increased the expression of both endogenous and exogenous Aph-1.The effect of the proteasome inhibitors on Aph-1 expression was dose-and time-dependent Lysosomal pathway was not involved in Aph-1 degradation. Pulse-chase metabolic labeling experiment showed that the turnover of newly-synthesized radiolabeled Aph-1 protein was blocked by Lactacystin.Double immunofluorescent staining revealed colocalization of Aph-1 and ubiquitin in the same cells.Conclusion Degradation of Aph-1 protein is mediated by proteasomal pathway in neuronal cells,and is not related to lysosomal pathway.Aph-1 protein is ubiquitinated before degradation.

Background Researches showed that femtosecond laser corneal small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) was used in the correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism due to its fast recovery,good shortterm efficacy and few complications.However,few research focused on its long-term efficacy.Objective Thisstudy was to evaluate the effectiveness,safety,predictability,stability and complications of SMILE.Methods A serial cases-observational study was carried out under the approval of Ethic Committee of Henan Eye Institute and informed consent of patients.Sixty-seven eyes of 34 patients with myopia and myopic astigmatism were included in Henan Eye Institute from January to June 2013.All the patients received SMILE and followed-up for 2-year duration.The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA),best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),automatic optometry,intraocular pressure and corneal topography were examined before surgery and 1 day,1 week,1 month,3 months,1 year and 2 years after surgery and calculated the spherical equivalent (SE).The long-term efficacy of SMILE included effective index (preoperative BCVA/postoperative UCVA),safety index (postoperative BCVA/ preoperative BCVA),predictability (linear regression analysis between actual SE and attempted SE) and refractive stability (SE changes at postoperative time points).Results The preoperative BCVA was ≥ 20/20 in 60 eyes with the percentage of 89.55％.UCVA≥ 20/20 were found in 61 eyes and 60 eyes in postoperative 3 months and 2 years respectively (91.04％ and 89.55％).The effective index was 1.038±0.182 and 1.029±0.231 in postoperative 3 months and 2 years respectively,showing an insignificant difference between them (t =0.400,P ＞ 0.05).Compared with the preoperative BCVA,8.96％ (6/67) and 10.45％ (7/67) eyes lost 1 line at 3 months and 2 years after surgery,respectively.The safety indexes were 1.141±0.193 and 1.312±0.242 at 3 months and 2 years after surgery,with no significant difference between them (t =0.414,P＞0.05).A linear correlation was found between actual SE and attempted SE both at postoperative 3 months and 2 years,with the linear regression equations of Y=0.897 1X-0.440 8 (R2 =0.914 2,P＜0.05) and Y =0.893 7X-0.382 3 (R2 =0.915 7,P＜0.05),respectively.The SE was (0.013±0.578),(-0.033±0.489),(-0.106±0.508),(-0.103±0.375),(-0.154±0.518) and (-0.147±0.366)D 1 day,1 week,1 month,3 months,1 year and 2 years after surgery,respectively,and there were no significant difference among different time points (F =0.185,P =0.176).Eighteen in the 67 eyes occurred opaque bubble layer after surgery.Diffuse lamellar keratitis appeared in 6 eyes and punctate keratitis was in 2 eyes.These complications were cured 1 month after administration of drugs.Conclusions SMILE is good in effectiveness,safety,predictability and refreactive stability and has fewer complications during 2-year following-up.

Objective To observe the effects of flurbiprofen on tourniquet-induced lower extremity ischemia-reperfu-sion (I/R) injury. Methods Ninety ASA I or II patients, aged 30-59 years, scheduled for elective orthopedic operation on CSEA,were randomly assigned into 3 groups (n=30 each):control group (group C),low dose flurbiprofen (group D1) and flurbiprofen (group D2). A tourniquet was applied after affected limb blood droved and inflated (80kPa) and dura-tion of less than 90 min. Patients in group D1 were infused flurbiprofen 1mg/kg slowly on 10 min before the tourniquet inflated and patients in group D2 infused flurbiprofen 2mg/kg. Patients in group C received normal saline 5mL.Blood samples were taken before operation (T0) and taken 30min(T1),2h(T2) after tourniquet release to determine the plasma concentrations of MDA, SOD, TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8.Results The plasma concentrations of MDA, SOD, TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8 in these three group was lower at T1 and T2 than it at T0(P<0.05). The plasma concentrations of MDA, SOD, TNF-α, IL-6,IL-8 in group D1and D2 was lower at T1 and T2 than it at T0(P <0.05). The plasma concentrations of MDA was lower at T2 than it at T1(P<0.05). Conclusion Flurbiprofen can reduce inflammation on tourniquet-induced lower ex-tremity ischemia-reperfusion injury.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on mice with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and its effect on intestinal flora. MethodsA total of 40 mice were randomly divided into control group (CON group), model group (MOD group), FMT group (feces of the mice in the CON group were used as fecal microbiota donor), and FMT model group (ANFMT group, with feces of the mice in the MOD group as fecal microbiota donor), with 10 mice in each group. All mice were observed in terms of body weight, death, liver histopathology, and changes in aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and intestinal flora. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups, and the SNK-q test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the CON group, the MOD group had a significant reduction in body weight and significant increases in AST and ALT (all P＜0.05), as well as large patchy necrosis of hepatocytes, significant increases in Verrucomicrobia, Akkermansia, and Erysipelatoclostridium, and significant reductions in Dubosiella and Duncaniella (all P＜0.05). Compared with the CON group, the ANFMT group had a significant increase in AST (P＜0.05), hepatocyte swelling and mild ballooning degeneration, significant increases in Unclassified and Faecalibaculum, and significant reductions in Patescibacteria, Deferribacteres, Muribaculum, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, Rikenella, Odoribacter, Mucispirillum, and Lachnospiraceae_unclassified (all P＜0.05). Compared with the MOD group, the FMT group had significant reductions in AST and ALT (both P＜0.05), mild hepatocellular necrosis and marked ballooning degeneration, significant increases in Paramuribaculum and Bilophila, and significant reductions in Firmicutes, Rikenella, and Absiella (all P＜0.05). ConclusionIntestinal flora disturbance is observed in ACLF mice, and dysbacteriosis may lead to liver injury. FMT can alleviate liver inflammation in ACLF mice and thus exert a protective effect.

Objective To explore the CT manifestations and clinical features of checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis(CIP).Methods Chest CT images and clinical data of 34 patients with CIP in Ningbo No.2 Hospitael were collected to retrospectively analysis.According to the site of tumor occurrence,22 patients were divided into lung cancer group and 12 patients in other malignant tumor group,and the differences in CT manifestations between two groups were compared.Results Cough(70.59％)and dyspnea(52.94％)were the common clinical symptoms.CIP occurred earlier and over a greater time span in lung cancer group 114.5(41.50,281.50)d than in other maligment tumor group 144(55.75,226.25)d.Eosinophil count was significantly higher only in other maligment tumor group(P=0.009).After hormonal therapy 18 patients improved,8 were stable and 8 progressed or even died.CT signs were prevalent in ground glass shadow(70.59％)and solid shadow(76.47％),and the imaging pattern was dominated by organic pneumonia pattern(47.6％),which was not related to type of primary tumor,and some of them could show nodular granulomatous reaction.Compared to lung cancer group,the other maligment tumor group was more likely to exhibit symmetrical infiltration(58.33％)distribution.Conclusion The clinical features of CIP are nonspecific,compared with other patients with primary malignancies,lung cancer patients are more likely to develop CIP,which is difficult to relieve after treatment,and are easy to develop severe disease.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of Shuerjing Capsule in treating primary dysmenorrhea based on molecular docking of network pharmacology and in vivo experiment.Methods:By using TCMSP to screen the active components and targets of Shuerjing Capsule; by using GeneCards and DrungBank databases to retrieve targeted proteins of primary dysmenorrhea, and the intersection targets of drugs and diseases were obtained through Weishengxin online platform; by using Cytoscape 3.9.1 software to produce component-target network of Shuerjing Capsule for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea; by STRING databases to construct drug-disease target PPI network; by DAVID database to perform GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis.The key active components of the drug and the core targets of the disease were obtained with molecular docking. The rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, the low-dose group, medium-dose group and high-dose group of Shujing Capsule (0.15, 0.21, 0.42 g/kg), and ibuprofen group (20 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. The animal model of primary dysmenorrhea was established by subcutaneous injection of estradiol benzoate and intervented by drugs. The number of writhing reaction, uterine contractile inhibition rate and uterine index of rats were observed. The expressions of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1 in serum and the levels of PTGS2 and VEGFA in uterine tissue were detected by ELISA.Results:A total of 188 active ingredients of Shuerjing Capsule were screened, and 51 targets of Shuerjing Capsule and primary dysmenorrhea were identified. TNF, IL-6, AKT1 and TP53 may be the key targets of Shuerjing Capsule in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea. A total of 519 GO biological processes and 119 related signaling pathways were obtained, among which estrogen, IL-17, HIF-1 and other signaling pathways were closely related to the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea. The results of molecular docking were good, among which stigmasterol had the strongest binding ability to TP53. The experimental results showed that compared with the model group, the uterine index and the number of torsion were decreased in the low -, medium - and high-dose Shuojing Capsule groups ( P<0.05), the uterine contraction inhibition rate increased ( P<0.05); Serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1 of medium and high dose group decreased ( P<0.05), the levels of PTGS2 and VEGFA in uterine tissues decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Shuerjing Capsule has the effect of anti-inflammatation and improveing hypoxia, which may be related to the inhibition of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1 inflammatory factors in serum and the expression of PTGS2 and VEGFA proteins in uterine tissues.

Objective To explore the role of zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36) in regulating osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and preosteoblasts. Methods ZFP36 expression was observed in primary mouse BMSCs and mouse preosteoblasts (MC3T3-E1 cells) during induced osteogenic differentiation. Zfp36-deficient cell models were constructed in the two cells using RNA interference technique and the changes in differentiation capacities of the transfected cells into osteoblasts were observed. Transcriptome sequencing was used to investigate the potential mechanisms of ZFP36 for regulating osteoblast differentiation of the two cells. U0126, a ERK/MAPK signal suppressor, was used to verify the regulatory mechanism of Zfp36 in osteogenic differentiation of Zfp36-deficient cells. Results During the 14-day induction of osteogenic differentiation, both mouse BMSCs and MC3T3-E1 cells exhibited increased expression of ZFP36, and its mRNA expression reached the peak level on Day 7 (P<0.0001). The Zfp36-deficient cell models showed reduced intensity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red staining with significantly lowered expressions of the osteogenic marker genes including Alpl, Sp7, Bglap and Ibsp (P<0.01). Transcriptome sequencing verified the reduction of bone mineralization-related gene expressions in Zfp36-deficient cells and indicated the involvement of ERK signaling in the potential regulatory mechanism of Zfp36. Immunoblotting showed that pERK protein expression increased significantly in Zfp36-deficient cells compared with the control cells. In Zfp36-deficient MC3T3-E1 cells, inhibition of activated ERK/MAPK signaling with U0126 resulted in obviously enhanced ALP staining and significantly increased expressions of osteoblast differentiation markers Runx2 and Bglap (P<0.05). Conclusions ZFP36 is involved in the regulation of osteoblast differentiation of mouse BMSCs and preosteoblasts, and ZFP36 deficiency causes inhibition of osteoblast differentiation of the cells by activating the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway.
