Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of recombinant LIGHT-Fe gene on the proliferation of human esophageal carcinoma cell line Eea109. Methods LIGHT-Fc expression vector was transfected into human esophageal squamous carcinoma cell line Eca109 by using DOTAP liposomal transfection reagents. The effects of LIGHT-Fc gene on the proliferation of esophageal carcinoma cell line Eca109 in vitro were detected by cell growth curve and MTr assay. Forty-five nude mice were equally divided into Eea109/Wt group, Eca109/neo group and Eca109/LIGHT group. Carcinogenesis and pathological expression of the esophageal carcinoma tissues were observed. Results The expressions of LIGHT receptors were detected in Eca109 cells. The proliferation of Eca109 cells was inhibited after trasfecting LIGHT-Fc gene into Eca109 cells. The numbers of tumors generated in Eea109/Wt group, Eca109/neo group and Eca109/LIGHT group were 12, 11 and 5, with statistical significance between Eca109/LIGHT group and the other two groups (X2 =6.652, 4.821, P <0.05). The result of histopatholagical examination indicated that the tissue necrosis appeared significantly in tumors derived from Eea109/LIGHT cells. Conclusions The growth of esophageal squamous carcinoma cell line Eca109 can be suppressed by LIGHT-Fc gene whether in vitro or in vivo.

OBJECTIVETo observe the therapeutic effect of expanded supraclavicular island flaps for facial and cervical scar.
METHODSFrom Oct. 2010 to Nov. 2013, a series of 16 patients with facial and cervical scars were treated by the expanded supraclavicular island flaps, pedicled by the supraclavicular cutaneous branch of transverse cervical artery. In the first stage, the soft tissue expanders (ranging from 400 ml to 600 ml in volume) were implanted in the anterior thoracic region. In the second stage, the facial and cervical scars were removed and the contructures were released, the expanded flap was transferred to cover the defects. The wounds at the donor sites were closed directly.
RESULTSThe flaps size ranged from 12 cm x 7 cm to 22 cm x 11 cm. All flaps survived with no flap necrosis. Hematoma occurred in one case and healed by debridement. 16 patients were followed up for 3-12 months. The color and texture of all flaps matched well with the surrounding skin tissue, no bulky appearance or hypertrophic scar were noticed.
CONCLUSIONSThe expanded supraclavicular island flap is a good choice for repairing facial and cervical scar. The appearance and function can be improved.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) play a crucial role in T cell dysfunction, which is related to poor outcome in patients with severe trauma. Cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) contributes to immune disorder in trauma and infection via production of prostaglandin E2. However, the role of Cox-2 in the accumulation and function of MDSCs after traumatic stress has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we treated murine trauma model with NS398, a selective Cox-2 inhibitor. Then the percentages of CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells, proliferation and apoptosis of CD4+ T cells were determined. Arginase activity and arginase-1 (Arg-1) protein expression of splenic CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells, and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response were analyzed. The results showed that Cox-2 blockade significantly decreased the percentages of CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells in the spleen and bone marrow 48 and 72 h after traumatic stress. NS398 inhibited arginase activity and down-regulated the Arg-1 expression of splenic CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells. Moreover, NS398 could promote proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of CD4+ T cells. It also restored DTH response of traumatic mice. Taken together, our data revealed that Cox-2 might play a pivotal role in the accumulation and function of MDSC after traumatic stress.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate decision regret among patients receiving penile girth enhancement with acellular dermal matrix (PGE with ADM) and to investigate the potential indicators for decisional regret so as to facilitate the decision-making process for this special group.
METHODS:
In the study, 78 patients receiving PGE with ADM from Jun. 2016 to Jan. 2019 at Peking University People's Hospital and cooperative hospitals were eligible. Penile girth was taken by only one surgeon 1 week before surgery. Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HAD), international index of erectile function (IIEF) and a 10 cm long visual analogue scale named visualized penile image (VPI) were applied to measure psychological burden, erectile function and satisfaction with penile image respectively at the same time. All the patients were followed up for 3 months. Decision regret scale (DRS) was adopted for measuring decisional regret. Multivariate analysis of variance was applied to investigate the potential indicators for regret. Data analysis process was conducted with SPSS (version 24.0; SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA).
RESULTS:
Mean penile girth recorded before intervention was (8.29±0.30) cm and increased to (9.46±0.29) cm post surgery (t=76.28, P < 0.01). As for both subscales of HAD measuring psychological burden, a signi-ficant reduction in the mean score was seen, that is, 2.8±1.3 (t=19.28, P < 0.05) for anxiety and 3.0±1.2 (t=20.67, P < 0.05) for depression, respectively. The average score of VPI increased by 3.7±1.1 (t=30.63, P < 0.05). There was no significant change in the average score of IIEF measuring erectile satisfaction (t=1.60, P=0.11). Twenty-nine (38.2%) patients expressed regret to some degree, and the mean DRS score was 23.4±14.8. The scores of DRS correlated negatively with scores of visualized penis image (r=-0.348, P < 0.01), and positively with scores of anxiety (r=0.760, P < 0.01) and depression subscale (r=0.471, P < 0.01). The scores of DRS was irrelevant to those of IIEF (r=0.02, P=0.867). The patients with high annual income (> 120 000 yuan) and education level above undergraduate were more prone to experience decision regret after intervention (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION
PGE with ADM did augment penile girth and lower psychological burden, the regret rate of which was acceptably low among the patients. High income and good education might indicate more post-operative regret. Additional decision-making aids should be offered to patients with high income and education level above high school.

Objective To analyze the elonal gene rearrangement and complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) Repertoire of TCR β-chain in fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) specimens of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Methods The TCR CDR3 region genes of 24 TCR Vβ subfamilies were amplified by utilizing RT-PCR technology, and the CDR3 size lengths of TCR β-chain were analyzed with genesean technology for 4 healthy individuals and 4 patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. The clonality of T cells presumed by spectratyping was further confirmed by CDR3 sequencing. Results TCR β-chain presented specific repertoire skewing in 4 cases with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and only 1-4 TCR Vβ subfamily T cells were identified, respectively. Clonal expanded T cells, including mono, bioclonal and oligoclonal trend patterns, in one or more Vβ subfamilies were found in all cases. The mono expanded T cells have different CDR3 amino acid sequences. Conclusion Characteristic T cells cloning proliferation and selected usage of TCR Vβ subfamily T cells were found in 4 cases with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. The sequences of CDR3 in different TCR clone proliferation are different.

BACKGROUND:The cervical spine of the human body is an important structure carrying the head and connecting the spine. Its volume is smal, but its flexibility was great. Activity frequency was highest. Simultaneously, cervical spine is the most complicated bony structure of geometric and kinematic characteristics of human body, bears the physiological load of the head, has functions of flexion and extension, lateral bending and rotation. Therefore, the cervical spine has become one of the most vulnerable structures with degenerative diseases of the spine. Analysis of upper cervical spine biomechanics, recognition and understanding of its normal function and mechanical mechanism wil provide a theoretical basis for better treatment of upper cervical spine disorders.
OBJECTIVE:To observe thein vivothree-dimensional kinematics of the upper cervical spine in healthy human beings under physiological load with dual fluorescence X-ray imaging system and spiral CT.
METHODS:Seventeen healthy volunteers were recruited for this study. The vertebral segment motion of each subject was reconstructed with three-dimensional computed tomography and solid modeling software.In vivo cervical vertebral motion during functional postures was observed with dual fluoroscopic imaging. Coordinate systems were established at the vertebral center to obtain the intervertebral range of motion.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) During the flexion-extension motion, significant differences in the distance in coronal axis, sagittal axis and angle of rotation were detected in C1-2 and C2-3segments. (2) During the left-right bending motion, the angle of rotation was obviously greater at C1-2 segment than that at C2-3segment. During the left-right twisting motion, significant differences in distance of the vertical axis and the coronal axis, lateral flexion angle and rotation angle were detectable between C1-2and C2-3 segments. (3) These findings confirmed that dual fluorescence X-ray imaging system combined with CT scan can obtain atlanto-axial three-dimensional instantaneous motion of six-DOF data of healthy adults, and found that the main motion of the C1-2 vertebrae is rotating. These data may provide us with some new information about the in vivo kinematics of the upper cervical spine and the non-fixed surgical operation.

Objective To observe the best compatibility proportion and action mode of protective effects of combined baicalin and taurine in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) model.Methods Aβ1-42 was injected through lateral ventricles to establish AD rat models. SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, model group, aricept group, combined baicalin and taurine in different proportions group. Administration groups were treated with different medicines, while sham-operation group and model group were treated with the same amount of normal saline for 40 days. The step-through latency and the times of mistakes were detected through step-through test;the escape latent and the times of crossing target quadrant were detected through Morris water maze. Furthermore, the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells were induced by 5 μmol/L Aβ1-42 for establishing a cellular AD model. The AD cellular model was treated with baicalin and taurine compatibility in different proportions for 48 hours. Then the rate of cell viability was detected by MTT assay, and the median effective concentration (EC50) and combination index were calculated. Results Baicalin and taurine in 2∶1 and 1∶1 proportion groups can significantly improve learning and memory ability in AD rats (P<0.05,P<0.01). The EC50 were 2.110 μmol/L and 0.422 μmol/L, respectively. The combination index was 0.308.Conclusion Baicalin combined with taurine exhibit synergetic protective effects in AD rats induced by Aβ1-42. The optimal compatibility proportion of baicalin and taurine is 2∶1, and EC50 is 0.279 μmol/L.
