Objective To compare the effects of honey dressing and silver sulfadiazine dressing for wound healing in burn patients by Meta-analysis.Methods All the randomized controlled trials were collected by searching many kinds of databases in or out of the country to compare honey dressing with silver sulfadiazine dressing for wound healing in burn patients.Review Manager 5.2 was used to analyze the effects.Results Six randomized controlled trials (RCT) were included.Honey dressing was much better than silver sulfadiazine dressing for burn wounds,while there were no significant differences in positive rate of wound swab culture and healing days.Conclusions It can be proved that honey dressing has an advantage over silver sulfadiazine dressing in the wound healing days within 21 and final outcome.Whether honey dressing is superior to silver sulfadiazine dressing in antibacterial effects and healing days remains to be studied with adequate,powerful,high quality randomized controlled trials.

Fifty children with refractory idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (RITP) were treated with rituximab (n =26) or vincristine (n =24).The response rate,adverse reaction and recurrence rate in two groups were compared.The CD19 +/CD20 + B cells in peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry in 26 patients before and after RITP treatment.The response rates of rituximab group was significantly higher than that of vincristine group ( 69.2％ vs. 37.5％,x2 =9.74,P ＜ 0.01 ). There was no significant difference in the rate of adverse reaction between two groups ( 11.5％ vs.8.3％,x2 =0.62,P ＞ 0.05 ).The recurrence rate of rituximab group ( 22.2％ ) was significantly lower than that of vincristine group (55.6％,x2 =7.24,P ＜ 0.05 ).In rituximab group the platelet count after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment ( t =12.48,P ＜0.01 ),and the ratio of CD19 +/CD20 + B cells decreased significantly after treatment compare to that before treatment ( t =6.71,P ＜0.05 ).Rituximab is effective in treatment of refractory idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in children,which may be associated with decreased B cells in peripheral bloos.

Objective To explore the therapeutic value of modified endoscopic submucosal dissection with ligation (ESD-L) for small tumors originated from gastric muscularis propria.Methods Total of 60 patients with tumors originated from gastric muscularis propria,which was confirmed by endoscopic ultrasonography and smaller than 12 mm and were recruited to the present study.The conventional ESD technique was used to dissect the tumor to the depth of muscularis propria.Then the bottom of the tumor and the beneath muscularis propria were ligated fully with a nylon loop.Further dissection was applied till the whole tumor was isolated.Results All 60 lesions were dissected completely with perforation occurred in 10 cases,which were managed successfully with metal hemoclip.Pathologic diagnosis was obtained in all lesions,and no recurrence was found during the follow-up.Conclusion Modified technique of ESD-L is effective for complete resection of small tumors originated from gastric muscularis propria,which can also decrease the risk of stomach perforation.

Aim To investigate the effects of diterpene ginkgolides meglumine injection (DGMI ) on amino acids and monoamine neurotransmitters in rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.Methods In-traluminal suture was applied to establish middle cere-bral artery occlusion (MCAO/R)model with ischemia for 1.5 h and reperfusion for 24 h.After the adminis-tration of DGMI (i.v.),the levels of amino acid and monoamine neurotransmitters in brain tissue were de-tected through HPLC-ECD.Results DGMI down-reg-ulated the concentrations of aspartic acid, glutamic acid,glycine and γ-aminobutyric acid which were in-creased in MCAO/R group.DGMI also reduced the levels of norepinephrine epinephrine,glyoxylic acid, serotonin and 5-HIAA in cortex and hippocampus,and increased adrenaline content compared to the model group.Conclusion DGMI exhibits a protective role in rats with cerebral ischemia /reperfusion injury through regulating amino acids and monoamine neuro-transmitters.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of improved skin expanding method on patients with arm infusion port.Methods:Clinical data of 100 patients with gynecological malignant tumor receiving adjuvant chemotherapy was retrospectively analyzed, including 50 patients treated by traditional way of expanding skin(transverse and micro intubation sheath inserted into blood vessels) and 50 patients treated by modified skin expanding method, namely making an incision with both depth and length of 0.5 cm which tilting 45° from the thread toward the port. The indexes as planting time, smooth operation, incidence of secondary enlargement, patient satisfaction, port moving time and incidence of postoperative complications were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Result:Modified skin expanding method was superior to traditional skin expanding way in planting time, smooth operation, incidence of secondary enlargement, patient satisfaction, port moving time and incidence of postoperative complications.Conclusions:Compared with the traditional way of expanding skin, modified skin expanding method can adjust catheter malposition caused by connecting with the port and send the catheter back into blood vessel at the incision maintaining the smooth of the catheter. Can make the operation well going increasing the efficiency of implantation of the upper arm infusion port. Can avoid the adverse consequences from the straddle of blood vessel by catheter and port in the tunnel after the catheter indwelling, which greatly enhances the safety of patients during infusion port application period.

Objective:To explore the value of liver stiffness and spleen stiffness measured by two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) in predicting high-risk varices (HRV) with compensated cirrhosis patients.Methods:Seventy patients with compensated cirrhosis who attended the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from November 2019 to April 2022 were recruited. All patients underwent examinations of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) by 2D-SWE. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the occurrence of HRV. The diagnostic performances of LSM, liver stiffness (by 2D-SWE)-spleen length-to-platelet (LSPS) score, and SSM in predicting HRV were compared.Results:SSM was not technically feasible in 6/70 (8.6%) patients due to small volume of spleen.Among 64 patients with compensated cirrhosis, 30/64 (46.9%) were HRV. Binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that SSM and platelet counts were independent influencing factors for predicting HRV, with OR values of 1.126 ( P=0.006) and 0.971 ( P=0.039), respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of LSM, LSPS score, and SSM were 0.660, 0.828 and 0.858, respectively. The AUCs of SSM and LSPS score were significantly higher than that of LSM ( P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference between SSM and LSPS score ( P=0.608). Conclusions:LSM and SSM measured by 2D-SWE have high success rate. SSM and LSPS score have high value in predicting HRV in patients with compensated cirrhosis, and the diagnostic performances of the above two methods are significantly higher than that of LSM.

OBJECTIVETo construct a recombinant lentivirus vector for Wilm's tumor on X chromosome (WTX) gene and establish a colorectal cancer SW620 cell line with stable WTX over-expression.

METHODSThe full length coding region of WTX gene was amplified with PCR, and the amplified fragment was cloned into the lentivirus vector GV387. The recombinant lentivirus vector was transfected in 293T cells for packaging the virus, which was then transfected into colorectal cancer SW620 cells. The stably transfected cells were selected with G418, and the cellular expressions of WTX mRNA and protein were detected using quantitative PCR and Western blotting.

RESULTSThe recombinant plasmid was successfully constructed as verified by sequence analysis. Quantitative PCR and Western blotting results showed that trasnfection with the recombinant lentivirus significantly increased the expression levels of WTX in SW620 cells.

CONCLUSIONWe successfully established a colorectal cancer cell lines with stable over-expression of WTX, which provides an essential cell model for studying the role of WTX in the tumorigenesis and progression of colorectal cancer.

AIM:To investigate the expression of centromere protein-H(CENP-H)in adrenocortical carcino-ma(ACC)and its relationship with disease progression and prognosis,and to explore the impact of CENP-H gene knock-down on the viability and migration of ACC cells.METHODS:The mRNA expression level of CENP-H in 76 ACC pa-tients and 128 healthy controls,and its correlations with tumor stages and prognosis were analyzed by GEPIA2 database.The mRNA expression of CENP-H in different stages of ACC and its correlation with disease prognosis were further ana-lyzed by ULCAN database.The protein expression of CENP-H was examined by immunohistochemical staining of paraffin-embedded ACC and normal adrenal gland specimens.Knockdown of CENP-H by siRNA(siCENP-H)was performed in human ACC cell line H295R.The viabilty of H295R cells transfected with siCENP-H or siNC was measured by CCK-8 as-say,the cell migration was detected by wound-healing assay,and the protein levels of CENP-H,p-ERK1/2,t-ERK1/2,p-P38,t-P38,p-JNK1/2 and t-JNK1/2 were detected by Western blot.RESULTS:The mRNA level of CENP-H was signifi-cantly higher in ACC than that in normal controls,and was correlated with tumor stages and prognosis.The protein level of CENP-H was significantly higher in ACC specimens than that in normal adrenal gland.Knockdown of CENP-H in H295R cells resulted in decreased cell viability and migration.The protein levels of p-P38 and p-JNK1/2 were decreased in si-CENP-H group.CONCLUSION:CENP-H is highly expressed in ACC,and is correlated with tumor stages and poor prognosis.Knockdown of CENP-H can inhibit the viability and migration of ACC cells,and its mechanism may related to inactivation of P38 and JNK signaling pathways.

Objective:To improve the rate of successful rescue through analyzing the clinical features and treating processes of septic shock caused by lymphocyst infection after lymph node dissection in diabetic patients.Methods:A total of 462 cases of diabetic patients with bladder, prostate, renal cancers, cervical, endometrial and ovarian were retrospectively analyzed, all of whom underwent standard surgical treatments including pelvic lymph node dissection, hospitalized in department of urology surgery and gynecology of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from Jan 2015 to Jan 2020. Lymphocytes were confirmed in 148 cases, of which 89 cases were complicated by infection, and 13 cases developed septic shock. Patients with lymphocyst infection were divided into shock and non-shock groups, and age, sex, duration of diabetes, BMI, glycosylated hemoglobin at admission, number of lymph nodes surgically removed, retention time of drainage tube after operation, maximum diameter of lymphocyst and time between infection and previous chemotherapy were compared. The initial symptoms, blood routine in the first time after the onset of the infection, the time from onset to drainage puncture and catheterization and the final outcomes were analyzed in 13 patients with septic shock. The results of pathogen culture and drug sensitivity of infected lymphocyst fluid were also analyzed.Results:Categorical variable test showed that: in diabetic patients with lymphocyst infection, there were significant differences in glycosylated hemoglobin ( P=0.018) , adjuvant chemotherapy ( P=0.014) and lymphocyst size ( P<0.001) between shock group and non-shock group. Among the 13 cases of septic shock, 11 caseshad mild to moderate fever or abdominal pain. The total leukocyte count of all cases in the first hemogram were less than 20×10 9/L. The average time from onset to drainage was 33 hours. Among the 13 patients, 5 developed MODS and 1 died. There were 2 patients whose conditions were complex with frequent fluctuations. In the 12 patients who recovered from septic shock, only 1 underwent a residual lymphocyst pretreatment, 4 had recurrent cyst infection for 1-2 times, 2 had septic shock again, and 1 died. Gram negative bacteria were the most common pathogens, and the main was Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Piperacillin / tazobactam, carbapenems and tigecycline were commonly sensitive, while the drug resistance rates of ceftazidime, ceftriaxone and levofloxacin were more than 50%. Conclusions:Poor glycemic control, adjuvant chemotherapy and big lymphocyst size(d≥5 cm) are the high risk factors of septic shock. Most of shock patients' initial symptoms and total white blood cell count have no warning significance, leading to longer time from infection to drainage, and delayed treatment. Early diagnosis, timely drainage and active anti-infection treatment are the key to a successful treatment. The possibility of connection between lymphocyst and surrounding organ should be considered when the treatment effect is not good. After septic shock of postoperative lymphocyst infection in patients with diabetes, the larger esidual lymphocyst should be intervened actively to avoid serious infection again.

Objective:To explore the relationship between microRNA-4429 (miR-4429) derived from serum exosomes and prognosis of radical radiation and chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:309 blood samples of NSCLC patients were collected [before chemotherapy (T0), after 1 cycle of chemotherapy (T1) and after 2 cycles of chemotherapy (T2), 103 cases at each time point], and the expression level of miR-4429 was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR method, and the relationship between it and the prognosis of radical radiation and chemotherapy in NSCLC was analyzed.Results:The 1-year, 2-year and 3-year survival rates of 103 NSCLC patients were 69.90%, 45.63% and 34.95%, respectively. The expression levels of T1-miR-4429 and T2-miR-4429 in the survival group were 0.66±0.14 and 0.77±0.11, respectively, which were higher than T1-miR-4429 (0.60±0.06) and T2-miR-4429 (0.62±0.11) in the death group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.269, 6.997, P<0.05). Restricted cubic spline fitting COX regression analysis showed that T2-miR-4429 had a linear relationship with survival in NSCLC. COX regression analysis showed that TNM staging was an independent risk factor for the survival and prognosis in NSCLC ( P<0.05), and the degree of differentiation, targeted therapy and T2-miR-4429 were all independent protective factors for the survival and prognosis in NSCLC ( P<0.05). The calibration curve of the nomogram regression model constructed by TNM stage, degree of differentiation, targeted therapy and T2-miR-4429 coincided well with the ideal curve, and the C-index was 0.713. Conclusions:The high expression level of T2-miR-4429 indicates that NSCLC patients have a low risk of poor survival prognosis. The nomogram regression model constructed by TNM staging, degree of differentiation, targeted therapy and T2-miR-4429 has a certain degree of discrimination and accuracy, which can assist in evaluating the prognosis of NSCLC.
