Objective To explore the treatment method with combined dorsal flap based on the second toe and tibial flap for repairing the finger distal degloving injury.Methods From March 2008 to September 2011,our department chose treatment with combined use of free dorsal flap based on the second toe and contralateral second toe tibial flap for repairing finger distal degloving injury.The 11 fingers in 11 cases were treated and followed up after surgery.Results The flaps in 11 cases all survived; The donor site with skin grafting successfully healed; The follow-up was 4-15 months,averaged of 6 months.There was not obvious atrophy for the toe dorsal flaps in the finger back side and toe tibial flaps in the palm side.The finger pulp was full,the nails grew well and the appearance of the fingers was good.There was satisfactory sensory function restoration for finger pulp,two cases for S4,five cases for S3,three cases for S2 and 1 case for S1.The protective sensation was restored in the finger back for all the cases; the finger function was restored to normal; the foot donor site was healing well without scarring.Walking was completely normal.Conclusion It is an ideal treatment with combined use of free dorsal flap based on the second toe and contralateral second toe tibial flap for repairing finger distal.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of tumor necrosis factor recep-tor associated factor 6(TRAF6)in human esophageal cancer.Methods The clinical data of 72 patients with esopha-geal cancer were collected.Immunohistochemistry method was used to determine TRAF6 expression in esophageal carcinoma and its adjacent normal tissue,and its relationship with clinical pathological features was explored.Results The TRAF6 positive expression rate in esophageal cancer tissue was 66.13%,which was significantly higher than that of normal tissue (13.89%),the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(χ2 =56.850,P <0.01).And TRAF6 expression level was significantly correlated with esophageal cancer clinical staging,lymph node metastasis(χ2 =6.818,4.428,all P <0.05),but TRAF6 expression was not correlated with age,sex,tumor differenti-ation.Conclusion The expression level of TRAF6 in esophageal carcinoma was significantly increased,and there was a significant correlation between the TRAF6 expression level and clinical pathological characteristics.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymalstem cels have pluripotent differentiation, and can promote cel engraftment and immune regulation. Therefore,we attempt to use human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels as anew source for treatment of lung cancer by exploringcelisolation, identification and transplantation combined with chemotherapyforlung cancer in mice.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the isolation and identification of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels and its transplantation combined with chemotherapy for lung cancer inmice.
METHODS:Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels were isolated from fresh umbilical cord of newborns and identified using tissue culture and enzyme digestion. Twenty Balb/C nude mouse models of lung cancer were randomly divided into two groups:mice in chemotherapy group were given chemotherapy, and those incombinedgroup given combination of chemotherapy with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel transplantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the chemotherapy group, the gastrointestinal tract was rosy and shiny, intestinal mucosa was smooth and complete, and tumor mass and blood indexes significantly decreased in thecombinedgroup (P< 0.05). To conclude, mature human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels can be obtained by tissueculture and enzyme digestion, andthecel transplantation combinedwith chemotherapy can significantly reduce gastrointestinal tract damage and themake peripheral hemogram in a stable level.

BACKGROUND:So far the positive or negative effects of mesenchymal stem cel s on tumor growth and metastasis are under discussion. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal cel s in promoting lung cancer metastasis. METHODS:Primary rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were obtained by direct adherence method of the whole bone marrow, and differential adherence combined with digestion control method was performed to purify cel s. Lung cancer cel lines were cultured, and the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s on the migration, invasion and metastasis of lung cancer cel s were observed by scratch test, cel invasion and migration assays. Orthotopic lung cancer models were established in rats and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were seeded onto the left lung of rats. Then, pathological changes of lung tissues were observed at 14 days after transplannation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After the scratch test, the migration rate of lung cancer cel s became higher, and the scratches healed with time. And after cel transplantation, the number of migrated lung cancer cel s increased, as wel as the ability of lung cancer cel s penetrating the Matrigel was strengthened. Besides, fibrous connective tissues could be found around the lung cancer tissues, and necrosis with distinct boundary and large tumor nuclei;the metastatic tissues showed obvious infiltration and necrosis with large tumor nuclei. These results suggest that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s can promote the invasion, migration and metastasis of lung cancer cel lines.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect and complications of total hip replacement (THR) in novel femoral neck fracture,old femoral neck fracture, aseptic necrosis of femoral head and coxa degenerative osteoarthropathy. To provide instructions to surgical indications and treatment effects analysis.Methods One hundrde and four patients were divided into 4 groups by disease type: novel femoral neck fracture group (n = 32 ), old femoral neck fracture group (n = 22) ,aseptic necrosis of femoral head group (n =34) and coxa degenerative osteoarthropathy group (n = 16). These patients were followed-up for 12 - 144 months after THR, their Harris standard score and complications data, before and after operation, were analyzed retrospectively. Results After operation, the Harris standard scores were 92. 6 ± 5.8,90. 1 ± 5. 2,86. 3 ± 4. 6,81.9 ±4. 1 in novel femoral neck fracture,old femoral neck fracture,aseptic necrosis of femoral head and coxa degenerative osteoarthropathy groups respectively, which were significantly higher than the scores before operation (25.6±1.8,36.7±2.6,52.9±4.3,42. 1 ±3.8,Ps ＜0.05). Conclusion THR has good effects in the four types of diseases. Short length of stay and high healing rate are marked characteristics of THR. More attention shoud be paid to the complications of THR.

Objective To investigate MR findings and dynamic changes of the brain after gas explosion,and to evaluate the relationship between MR findings and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Methods Forty-nine survivors of a gas explosion (group A) were examined with brain MRI within 1 to 3 days,and serial MR follow-up examinations were also performed.Forty miners not under the ground that day were assigned as group B,and 40 staff working on the ground as group C.The signal intensity values of hippocampus and globus pallidus on T2WI were measured in the three groups and F test was performed by using SPSS 13.0.The relationship between signal intensity values of hippocampus/globns pallidus and PTSD was explored,and the relationship between ADC values of hippocampus and PTSD was also investigated.Results In group A,slight low signal on T1WI and high signal on T2WI were detected on initial MRI in hippocampus (33 cases),globus pallidus (12 cases),cortex (10 cases),and midbrain (2 cases),respectively.On follow-up MRI at 2 months,lesions in hippocampus disappeared (25 cases) or remained slight high signal on T2WI (8 cases),lesions in globus pallidus disappeared (3 cases,5 sides) or showed shrinkage and encephalomalacia (9 cases),cortical lesions resulted in encephalomalacia in 2 cases and returned normal in the others,and lesions in the midbrain showed encephalomatacia.For comparison of T2 signal intensity values in hippocampus and globus pallidus,there was significant difference between group A and group B(P <0.01),and also between group A and group C(P <0.01),but no difference was detected between group B and group C (P>0.05).In group A,the T2 signal intensities of PTSD and non-PTSD were 455±37 and 462±53 in the left hippocarnpus,and 458±36 and 460±43 in the right hippoeampus on 1 to 3 days,and the T2 signal intensities of PTSD and non-PTSD were 438±29 and 424±37 in the left hippocampns,and 442±31 and 430±32 in the right hippocampus at 2 months.The T2 signal intensities of PTSD and non-PTSD were 361 ±35 and 366±63 in the left globus pallidus,and 363 ±41 and 375±62 in the right globus pallidus on 1 to 3 days,and the T2 signal intensities of PTSD and non-PTSD were 341±24 and 337±39 in the left globns pallidus,340±26 and 332±35 in the tight glohus pallidns at 2 months.There was no difference of T2 signal intensity values in hippocampus and globus pallidus between PTSD and non-PTSD( t=0.350,0.826,0.503,0.907,P>0.05).In group A,ADC values of PTSD and nun-PTSD were (8.1±1.1)×10-4 and(8.1 ±0.9)×10-4mm2/s in the left hippocampus,and (8.2±1.0)×10-4 and(8.2±0.8)×10-4mm2/s in the tight hippocampus on 1 to 3 days,ADC values were (8.8±0.7)×10-4 and (9.0±1.0)×10-4mm2/s in the left hippocampus,and (8.5±0.9)×10-4 and (9.3±1.1)×10-4mm2/s in the tight hippocampus at 2 months.ADC values in hippocampns showed no difference between PTSD and non-PTSD(t=0.016,0.081,P>0.05)on initial MRI,but showed significant difference between PTSD and non-PTSD in tight hippocampus (t=7.407,P < 0.05) on follow-up MRI at 2 months,while no difference in left hippocampus (t =0.333,P>0.05) was observed at 2 months.Conclusion Hippocampns and globus pallidus are the most vulnerable structures in gas explosion.The occurrence of PTSD may be related to the injury of fight hippocampus,but not related to the injury of globns pallidus.

Objective:To investigate the expression of coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR) in thymic carcinoma and the relationship between CAR and the antitumor activity of oncolytic adenovirus H101.Methods:The expression of CAR in thymic carcinoma tissues and cells were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. H101 expression and virus titers in Bcap-37, MP59 and T1889 cells after infection were detected by RT-qPCR and 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID 50). The proliferation activity and apoptosis rates of T1889 cells infected with H101 at different multiplicity of infection (MOI) were detected by CCK-8 and flow cytometry. CAR expression in T1889 cells treated with different concentrations of trichostatin A (TSA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, was detected. H101 expression and virus titers in the TSA-treated and H101-infected cells were detected. Cell activity was detected by CCK-8. The phosphorylation levels of MARK and ERK1/2 and the expression of CAR at protein level in TSA-treated or TSA+ TBHQ (ERK activator) treated cells were detected. Results:CAR expression at both mRNA and protein levels were significantly lower in thymic carcinoma tissues than in adjacent normal tissues ( P<0.01), and lower in MP59 and T1889 cells than in thymic epithelial cells (TEC) and Bcap-37 cells ( P<0.01). H101 expression in MP59 and T1889 cells and the titers of H101 in culture supernatants were significantly lower than those in Bcap-37 cells ( P<0.01). Compared with Bcap-37 cell, the activity of MP59 and T1889 cells was significantly increased and the apoptosis rates were significantly decreased 48 h after H101 infection ( P<0.01). The expression of CAR at both mRNA and protein levels in T1889 cells treated with different concentrations of TSA increased in a dose-dependent manner. When T1889 cells were treated with 0.25 μmol/L of TSA, the expression of H101 at mRNA level and H101 titers were significantly increased ( P<0.05); the phosphorylation levels of MAPK and ERK1/2 proteins were continuously decreased; the expression of CAR was continuously increased. Compared with the TSA treatment group, the expression of CAR at protein level in the TSA+ TBHQ treatment group decreased significantly ( P<0.01), and the p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2 ratio increased significantly ( P<0.01). Conclusions:TSA could up-regulate CAR expression in thymic carcinoma by inhibiting the MARK/ERK1/2 pathway, thereby enhancing the antitumor activity of H101.
