Chongqing Medicine 2013;(36):4433-4435
Objective To investigate the effect of different adjuvants and challengemethods on asthma mice′s lung inflammation . Methods BALB/c mice were sensitized with ovalbumin in aluminium hydroxide or alum adjuvant .After 7 days challenges ,choose the proper adjuvant with intranasal or atomized to prepare mice asthma model .Count and classify the white blood cells (WBC) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) ,observe the peribronchial and perivascular inflammation .Results Compare the WBC and eos-nophils in BALF ,the alum group are higher than aluminum hydroxide group(P<0 .05) ,5 and 7 days′atomized groups are highter than 3 days′intranasal group(P<0 .05) ,5 and 7 days′atomized groups have showed no significant difference (P>0 .05) .10 days after the last challenge ,the inflammation fade sharply ,and the corresponding result occured in the lung inflammation .Conclusion In establishing asthma model ,alum is better than aluminum hydroxide ,atomization is better than intranasal .Inflammation will fade after stop atomization a period of time .

AIM: To study the protective effects of intravenous (iv) CGRP on myocardial injury in rat. METHODS: Establish a rat myocardial ischemic injury model by subcutaneous injection of single dose of isoproterenol (ISO), and treat the model with single dose of iv CGRP. Two hours later, serum CK, LDH, MDA and SOD levels were measured, MDA and SOD in myocardial tissue were tested, and myocardial tissue structures were observed. RESULTS:(1) Serum MDA and tissue MDA levels increased significantly and serum SOD and tissue SOD decreased significantly in injury group, in the CGRP treated group, the above changes were reversed (P

Objective:To investigate the effect of fluorofenidone on renal interstitial fibrosis in rats with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and to observe the effect of fluorofenidone on the expressions of collagen type Ⅰ (Col Ⅰ),collagen type Ⅲ (Col Ⅲ),α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),connective tissue growth factor (CTGF),platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) in the renal tissues of UUO rats.Methods:Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a sham-operated group,a UUO group,and a flurofenidone group (n=5).UUO model was induced by ligating the left ureter in rats.The rats were treated with 125 mg/(kg.d) fluorofenidone by gastric gavage in the fluorofenidone group at 24 h before the operation,and the rats were treated with the identical dose of 0.5% sodium carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC-Na) in the other 2 groups.The rats were sacrificed at 14 days after UUO.Pathological changes of the renal tissue were observed by HE and Masson staining,the mRNA expressions of Col Ⅰ,Col Ⅲ,α-SMA,PDGF and CTGF were detected by real-time PCR,and the protein expressions of Col Ⅰ,Col Ⅲ,PDGF and CTGF were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Results:The renal interstitial damage index,relative collagen area and mRNA and protein expressions of Col Ⅰ and Col Ⅲ in the renal tissues of the rats in the UUO group significantly increased (P<0.05),and fluorofenidone could reduce these indexes (P<0.05).Compared with the sham-operated group,the protein expressions ofα-SMA,PDGF,CTGF and the mRNA expressions of PDGF and CTGF in the renal tissues of the rats in the UUO group were increased,but fluorofenidone could decrease the protein expressions of α-SMA,PDGF,CTGF and the mRNA expressions of PDGF and CTGF (P<0.05).Conclusion:Fluorofenidone (125 mg/kg·d) could attenuate renal interstitial fibrosis through inhibition offibroblast proliferation,myofibroblastic activation,PDGF and CTGF expression.

Objective:To evaluate the surgical effect of repairing soft tissue defect of hand and foot with medial gastrocnemius fascia flap combined with skin graft.Methods:From January, 2018 to June, 2019, 10 patients were treated with transfers of free medial gastrocnemius fascia flaps combined with skin graft to repair soft tissue defect of hand and foot. The size of free fascial flap was 5.0 cm×8.0 cm-12.0 cm×15.0 cm. After successful transfer on the wound, the skin was grafted onto the fascial flap, and the donor site was sutured directly. The appearance and function of the recipient and donor sites were observed and the effect of the operation was evaluated. Sensory recovery was assessed by the standard set by British Medical Research Council (BMRC) at the last follow-up.Results:All the free medial gastrocnemius fascia flap survived. After 6-10 days of granulation tissue growing, the skin grafts were transferred and all survived. All patients entered follow-up for 3-9 months, with an average of 7.5 months. The tissue at the recipient sites were soft and wear-resistant without swelling or ulceration. According to the self-designed evaluation system of soft tissue defect reconstruction, 10 patients had score from 68 to 92 (average, 75.2) . At the last follow-up, sensory recovery was assessed by BMRC, 7 cases were excellent and 3 cases were good.Conclusion:The repair of hand and foot soft tissue defect by the free medial gastrocnemius fascia flap combined with skin graft has advantages in constancy of vascular anatomy of free fascia tissue, long vascular pedicle and for repair of various types of hand and foot defects. Skin of the recipient area is soft with good appearance without swelling after the reconstruction of fascia flap. It is a method of treatment in repair of soft tissue defect of hand and foot by avoiding the thinning of a flap in the second procedure.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,diagnosis and treatment of infantile diabetes.Methods The clinical data of 27 infants with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) admitted to our hospital from Apr.2014 to Jun.2016 were retrospectively analyzed.SPSS16.0 statistical software was used to carry out t test and chisquare test on relevant data.Results The onset age of diabetes in infants and young children was 1 year to 3 years and 7 months.There were 15 males and 12 females.The onset season was mainly in winter and spring.The fasting blood glucose in cesarean section was significantly higher than that in natural production group (P<0.05).12 cases(44.44%) were complicated with respiratory infections before the onset of the disease,including 6 cases of pathogenic detection of viruses,mainly Coxsackie virus.Among them,14 cases were admitted to hospital with polydipsia and polyuria,6 cases had fever,cough and mental retardation,7 cases had elevated blood glucose,16 cases (62.50%) and 6 cases of women with diabetic ketoacidosis (37.50%).The incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis in male diabetic patients was higher than that in females (62.50% vs 37.50%,x2=6.49,P<0.05).With abnormal liver function and dyslipidemia in 2 cases;myocardial enzyme abnormality in 7 cases;abnormal thyroid function in 10 cases;26 cases of electrolyte abnormality,mainly hyponatremia;2 cases of positive anti-insulin antibody and 5 cases of positive glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody.Before admission,13 (35.14%) cases were misdiagnosed,6 cases were misdiagnosed as bronchopneumonia,3 cases were misdiagnosed as central nervous system infection,3 cases were sepsis and 1 case was myocarditis.All patients were treated with insulin.After 7 to 10 days of treatment,the patient's condition improved and continued to be treated at home.Conclusions The clinical manifestations of infantile T1DM onset are not typical,and it is easy to be associated with ketoacidosis.Infection may be one of the important causes of diabetic ketoacidosis.When the child has an infection and the blood sugar level is high,attention should be paid to the occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis,to avoid misdiagnosis.

Objective:
The role of planned neoadjuvant radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy in the non-radical resection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was unclear. The study aimed to evaluate their therapeutic effect and analyze the prognostic factors.
Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received neoadjuvant radio therapy (33 patients) and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (119 patients) from January 2004 to December 2016 in our single-institution database.The survival rates were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. The prognostic factors were analyzed by using Log rank test and Cox proportional hazards model.
Results:
The median follow-up was 29.8 months. One hundred and one patients survived more than 3 years. The rates of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) at 3 years were 63.9% and 55.6%, respectively.The rates of complete, partial and minimal pathological response of the primary tumor were 50.3%, 38.4%, 11.3%, the corresponding 3-year OS were 75.5%, 57.4%, 27.3% (
