Objective To evaluate the clinical features and early management of combined thoracoabdominal injury (CTI).Methods A retrospective study was carried out in 29 cases with CTI treated surgically.There were 21 cases with penetrating injuries and 8 cases with blunt injuries.All cases were associated with penumothorax and/or hernothorax at various degrees and 13 cases complicated with shock.In this study thoracotomy was performed in 17 cases,laparotomy in 6 cases,thoracotomy plus laparotomy in 5 cases and combined thoraco-laparotomy in 1 case.Results The injury severity score in this series was (40.16±15.23) scores.Four cases were died from hemorrhagic shock (2 cases),pericardial tampenade(1 case) and multiple organ failure(1 case).Conclusions CTI has high mortality rate,and the most frequent cause of death is hypovolemic shock.The operative approach is based on individual injury condition.Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention are key to improving the cure rate and reducing mortality in severe CTI.

This study is to elucidate the immunoregulation mechanisms of artesunate (AST) on allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Pharmacodynamics analyses, HE staining, semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to explore the effects of AST on the related cytokines, transcription factor and signaling molecule of ACD respectively. The results indicated that topical administration of AST not only reduced the increase of ear swelling, spleen index and inflammatory cells infiltration in ACD mice, but also inhibited remarkably the expression of IFN-gamma, T-bet and NF-kappaB p65. It's suggested that AST could exhibit suppressive effects on inflammatory response and immune function of ACD, which indicates the possibility of developing AST as a novel immunoregulatory agent in the treatment of ACD and other immune-related diseases.

Objective To analyze the CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) manifestations of the pelvic osteosarcoma. Methods The CT and MRI manifestations of 15 cases with pelvic osteosarcoma from January, 2013 to December, 2015 proved by histology were ret-rospectively analyzed. Results There were 10 males and 5 females in them. The median age was 27.0 years. Ilium was involved in 11 cases. A mixed lytic/sclerotic pattern of bone destruction was found in 11 cases, and the sclerotic type in 2 cases, the osteolytic type in 2 cases. Ra-dial periosteal reaction was found in 5 cases and immature bone formation in 8 cases. Soft tissue masses were seen in 13 cases. MRI showed enhancement in 15 cases and the CT showed no enhancement in 2 cases with sclerotic type. Conclusion The typical imaging manifestations of pelvic osteosarcomainclude mixed lytic/sclerotic appearance, radial periosteal reaction, soft tissue masses and immature bone formation.

Objective To explore the role of ubiquitin-proteasome pathway for the gelsolin protein degradation in pancreatic cancer.Methods Pancreatic cancer cell lines BxPC-3 and PANC-1 were first treated with specific 26s proteasome inhibitor lactacystin.Immunoblots of cell lysates were probed for gelsolin expression.To determine whether gelsolin was conjugated to ubiquitin,proteins extracted from the cells with or without lactacystin were immunoprecipitated with anti-gelsolin antibody,followed by Western blot analysis.Results The expression of gelsolin protein increased obviously after treatment with lactacystin in BxPC-3 cells for 12 h.Using anti-gelsolin antibody to immunoprecipitate gelsolin protein and followed by Western blot using anti-ubiquitin monoclonal antibody,it was found that inhibition of proteasome pathway by lactacystin resulted in accumulation of ubiquitylated forms of gelsolin protein.In PANC-1 cell line,there was no significant changes of gelsolin after treatment with lactacystin.Conclusion Ubiquitin-proteasome dependent degradation may be an important regulatory mechanism for gelsolin down-regulation in pancreatic cancer cells.
