Objective To investigate the application effect of anterior clinoid process drilled off via epidural approach in posterior communicating artery aneurysm ( PCoAA) clipping. Methods The clinical data of 42 patients with PCoAA who underwent craniotomy from January 2012 to January 2014 were analyzed retrospectively,including 22 patients performed anterior clinoid process drilled off and 20 did not. The difficult or easy degree of intraoperative aneurysm clipping and postoperative efficacy were analyzed. Results The aneurysms in 22 patients underwent anterior clinoid process were clipped satisfactorily. The brain retractor was not used during the procedure. Only one patient had cerebral infarction after procedure. No patients had oculomotor nerve paralysis and incomplete clipping of aneurysms. Of the 20 patients without the anterior clinoid process drilled off,3 aneurysms were clipped incompletely because it was difficult to implant aneurysm clips, 2 had cerebral infarction, and 1 had oculomotor nerve paralysis. Conclusion Removing the anterior clinoid process drilled off via extradural approach may bring convenience for PCoAA clipping. It can effectively avoid the difficulty of implanting aneurysm clips during the procedure. Its application is safe and can reduce postoperative complications.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of upper limb lymph node conservation in axillary lymph node dissection(ALND)for early breast cancer patients.Methods This study involved 52 patients.Before ALND,they were,injected 5 ml of methylene blue subcutaneouly in ipsilateral upper limb for upper limb lymphatic mapping.Level II lymph nodes and upper limb lymph nodes were respectively separated from axillary lymph nodes during operation.Level II lymph nodes were given intraoperative imprint cytology and frozen section.All lymph nodes were given routine pathological examination after operation.Results Of the 52 patients,50 cases showed blue stained lymphatic vessels or lymph nodes in the axillary region.The rate of blue dye under naked eyes was 96.2%(50/52).The postoperative pathological examination showed there were 31 cases of axillary lymph nodes metastasis in patients with blue stained lymph nodes.There was 1 case with metastasis to level II lymph nodes only(2.0%)and 30 cases with metastasis to level I lymph nodes(60.0%).There were 10 cases with metastasis to both level II and level I lymph nodes(22.0%).There were 3 cases with metastasis to both level II and upper limb lymph nodes.3 patients with metastasis to upper limb lymph nodes all had metastasis to level II lymph nodes.For cases with metastasis to level I lymph nodes only,pathological examination showed there was no metastasis to the blue stained lymph nodes removed from the axillary region.For the ll cases with metastasis to level II lymph nodes,8 cases were successfully detected by intraoperative imprint cytology,9 cases were detected by frozen section and 10 were detected by the combination of imprint cytology and frozen section.Comparing the combining method(intraoperative imprint cytology and frozen section)and postoperative routine pathological examination,the concordant rate was 98.0%(49/50).Conclusions Subcutaneous methylene blue injection in ipsilateral upper limb call effectively map lymph nodes of upper limb in the axillary region.The upper limb lymph-node-conserving surgery in ALND can be performed if the patients don't have level II lymph node metastasis identified by intraop erative rapid pathological examination.

Objective To explore the feasibility of using irreversible electroporation (IRE)mediating HPV16 E6 shRNA into cervical cancer cell line SiHa,and to clarify the influence of their co-effect on the proliferation of SiHa cells and its mechanism.Methods A HPV16 E6 gene specific interference sequence was inserted in pGenesil-1 to build a interference vector.10 pulses of IRE with 800 V,100 μs,and 1 Hz were applied to the suspension of SiHa cells and vectors.According to the treatment factors,control group,IRE group,pGenesil-N group,pGenesil-N+IRE group,pGenesil-E6 group and pGenesil-E6 + IRE group were set up.The expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP)and transfection efficiency were confirmed by inverted fluorescence microscope 24 h after the vector was transfected by IRE,and the expression efficancy of GFP was calculated.The expression levels of E6 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting method which was also applied to detect the expressions of P53 and PCNA.The proliferative activity of SiHa cells was determined by CCK-8 assay.Results Enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing verified that the vectors were correctly constructed.GFP was seen under inverted fluorescence microscope 24 h after IRE transfection.Compared with IRE group,the expression levels of E6 mRNA and protein were decreased detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting method after the vectors were treated with IRE,the P53 protein expression level was increased (P < 0.05),and the PCNA expression level was decreased (P <0.05).The CCK-8 assay results showed the proliferative activity of SiHa cells in pGenesil-E6+IRE group was decreased more obviously than that in pGenesil E6 group (P <0.05).Conclusion IRE can play the role of gene transfection of mediating HPV16 E6 shRNA into SiHa cells, and their co-effect can significantly inhibit the proliferation of SiHa cells.

OBJECTIVE：To predict the active components and potential target of volatile oil of Citri reticulatae preventing and treating Alzheimer ’s disease （AD）. METHODS ：The volatile oil of C. reticulatae was determined by GC-MS ，and identified according to NIST 11.L database and manual data analysis. The active components and targets of volatile oil of C. reticulatae were predicted through TCMSP and PharmMapper database. The related targets of AD were obtained by using GeneCards and OMIM databases. Venny 2.1.0 software mapping was used to obtain the direct targets of volatile oil of C. reticulatae against AD. Core nodes were mined with STRING database and Cytoscape 7.2.1 software，and the indirect targets of volatile oil of C. reticulatae against AD were obtained by mapping and duplication coith Venny 2.1.0 software. With the help of DAVID 6.7 database，the above direct and indirect targets （i.e. action targets ）were used for gene ontology （GO）function enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Using Cytoscape 7.2.1 software， topology analysis was conducted for the network of “active components-acting targets ”of volatile oil of C. reticulatae ，with node degree value ，betweenness centrality and closeness centrality as indexes ，then key components and key targets were mined. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ：A total of 40 chemical components in volatile oil were identified by GC-MS ，all of them were active components ，including D-limonene，γ-terpinene，etc. A total of 151 active components-corresponding targets and 1 291 AD-related targets were mined ，including 48 direct targets and 41 indirect targets. The above 89 targets were mainly concentrated in cell fraction ，axon，cytosol and other cell components ；intracellular signaling cascade ，response to organic substance and other biological processes ；protein kinase activity and amine receptor activity and other molecular functions ；as well as cancer pathway ，calcium signaling pathway and neurotrophin signaling pathway （P＜ 0.05）. A total of 10 key components including α-terpinene，β-elemen，thymol and （－）-4-terpineol，as well as 21 key targets such as androgen receptor ，prostaglandin G/H synthase 2，mitogen activated protein kinase 14，muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M 1 were excavated ，indicating the effect of volatile oil of C. reticulatae against AD had the characteristics of multi-component ， multi-target and multi-channel.
