Objective To study the inhibitory effect and mechanism of fluorofenidone on the proliferation of the rat lung fibroblasts induced by TGF-β1 . Methods Pulmonary fibroblasts cell were cultured and purified by using differentially adherent method, the third generation was used in the experiment. Cells were pretreated with 1,3,10 mmol?L-1 fluorofenidone, respectively. Pulmonary fibroblasts were identified by immunocytochemistry, and interfered by transient transfection. Cell proliferation was measured by BrdU marking. The mRNA and protein expression of eIF3α and p27 were analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blot. Results Immunocytochemistry staining identification of vimentin was positive in the third generation of pulmonary fibroblasts .TGF-β1 could obviously promote the eIF3α expression and proliferation of pulmonary fibroblasts. EIF3a siRNA was transfected with lipofectamine into cells, which obviously inhibit eIF3α expression induced by TGF-β1 , reversed cell proliferation induced by TGF-β1 , and could obviously promote p27mRNA expression induced by TGF-β1 . Fluorofenidone (3, 10 mmol?L-1 )could obviously inhibit cell proliferation induced by TGF-β1 and reduce eIF3α expression of pulmonary fibroblasts promoted by TGF-β1 . The inhibition rate was 66.7% and 78.8% respectively. Fluorofenidone (3 mmol?L-1 ,10 mmol?L-1 ) could also obviously reverse p27 expression inhibited by TGF-β1 , the reverse rate was 75. 5% and 71. 3% respectively. Conclusion eIF3α/ p27 signal pathway involves in pulmonary fibroblasts proliferation induced by TGF-β1 .Fluorofenidone can inhibit pulmonary fibroblasts proliferation induced by TGF-β1 by inhibiting eIF3α expression, enhancing p27 expression and/ or increasing p27 directly.

BACKGROUND:Posttraumatic osteomyelitis is bone infection after surgery of open fractures or other joint, which leads to more secretions in antrum or bone exposed wounds, long treatment cycle, delayed healing of fracture, even disunion. The key link in the treatment is complete debridement, adequate drainage, and the use of external fixators with low interference and far away from lesions. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of external fixator combined vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) in the treatment of post-traumatic osteomyelitis, and compared with conventional catheter drainage. ＜br> METHODS:Since June 2010 to June 2013, 21 patients of post-traumatic chronic osteomyelitis were included in this study and divided into VSD group (n=11) and conventional catheter drainage group (n=10). Al patients in VSD groups underwent debridement and VSD was used to fil dead space, then the wounds were sutured. Cases appeared nonhealing fractures underwent external fixation, 10 cases using external fixators and 1 case retained original external fixator. Al patients achieved the closed wounds at the second phase, 9 cases were directly sutured, and 2 cases received skin flap transplantation. Among them, 1 case received autologous bone graft at the third phase because of bone defects. In the conventional catheter drainage group, al patients underwent debridement and conventional catheter drainage to rinse the wounds after surgery, 3 cases failing to close the wounds changed to receive ordinary dressing and skin flap transplantation at the second phase. Cases appeared nonhealing fractures underwent external fixation. Local swel ing, pain and fever were observed after treatment. The time of total hospitalization stay and fracture healing was recorded. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The VSD group quickly control ed preoperative symptoms such as swel ing and pain and fever than the conventional catheter group (P＜0.05). The length of hospital stay showed no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Al patients were obtained through clinic service and fol owed up for 24-36 months. The healing time in the VSD group was shorter than that in conventional catheter group (P＜0.05). Until the end of fol ow-up, no patients in the VSD group appeared infection recurrence, and two cases in the conventional catheter group had recurrent infection. The results suggest that VSD combined with external fixator can repair post-traumatic chronic osteomyelitis due to rapid control of infection, easy care, shortened treatment time, and reduced rate of postoperative recurrence. In addition, external fixator can be used as the final fixation for post-traumatic chronic osteomyelitis.

For the existing measurement methods of residual voltage which can't turn the power off at peak voltage exactly and simultaneously display waveforms, a new residual voltage detection method is put forward in this paper. First, the zero point of the power supply is detected with zero cross detection circuit and is inputted to a single-chip microcomputer in the form of pulse signal. Secend, when the zero point delays to the peak voltage, the single-chip microcomputer sends control signal to power off the relay. At last, the waveform of the residual voltage is displayed on a principal computer or oscilloscope. The experimental results show that the device designed in this paper can turn the power off at peak voltage and is able to accurately display the voltage waveform immediately after power off and the standard deviation of the residual voltage is less than 0.2 V at exactly one second and later.

Objective To elucidate the clinical features of nutcracker syndrome complicated with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and to increase its level of diagnosis and treatment. Methods Clinical data of 14 cases of nutcracker syndrome complicated with IgA nephropathy (patient group) and 36 cases of nutcracker syndrome (control group) were analyzed retrospectively. Nutcracker syndrome was diagnosed by ultrasonography and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and IgAN by renal biopsy. Differences of clinical data and images in two groups were analyzed. Results Gender, age and blood pressure of two groups were not significantly different. Higher Scr level [(81.2±21.3) μmol/L vs (61.2±11.8) μmol/L, P<0.01], more severe proteinuria [(1.1 ± 0.6) g/d vs (0.3±0.2) g/d, P<0.01] and hematuria (2.3±0.9 vs 1.5±1.3, P<0.05) in patient group were found. Differences of ultrasonography and MRA in two groups were not significant. Conclusion Renal biopsy should be considered in cases of nutcracker syndrome with persistence of proteinuria, hematuria or abnormal morphology of urinary red blood cell.

Aim To investigate the neurotoxicity and the changes of nitration in the striatum of rats treated with methamphetamine(MA).Methods The rats were randomly divided into MA group and control group.The stereotyped behavior and body temperature of the rats were recorded.The differences of nitric oxide, nitric oxide synthase(NOS)and nitroprotein were compared between the two groups.Results The score of stereotyped behavior and the body temperature of the rats in MA group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P ＜0.01);Compared with the control group, the content of NO and the activity of NOS of striatum in MA group were significantly increased(P ＜0.01), and nitration of protein was also upregulated(P ＜0.01).Conclusion The increases of NOS activity, NO level and nitroprotein may play an important role in MA-induced neurutoxity in rat striaturn.

Objective To analyze changes in lactic acid level in patients with late-onset intracranial hematoma after craniocerebral injury and investigate their relativity.Methods Forty-eight patients with late-onset intracranial hematoma after craniocerebral injury treated in our hospital between May 2009 and December 2012 were enrolled as observation group.There were 32 males and 16 females.Moreover,50 cases checked up in our hospital during the same period were studied as health population controls,including 35 males and 15 females.Level of lactic acid was measured on admission,at the time of definite diagnosis as well as at days 7 and 14 after treatment and compared between groups.Results Level of lactic acid was (1.77 ±0.21) mmol/L in control group and (1.82 ± 0.25) mmol/L in observation group respectively on admission (t =1.070,P ＞ 0.05) ; Level of lactic acid was (3.32 ± 0.89) mmol/L in observation group at the time of definite diagnosis,which increased to (3.74 ± 1.16) mmol/L at days 7 after treatment and decreased to (1.89 ±0.75) mmol/L at days 14 after treatment.When diagnosed and treated for 7 days,level of lactic acid differed significantly between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Level of lactic acid related to craniocerebral injury at each time point,but higher correlation coefficient was observed at the time of definite diagnosis and 7 days after treatment with 0.986 and 0.989 respectively.Conclusion Level of lactic acid relates to late-onset intracranial hematoma after craniocerebral injury,which can be used as reference for progression of the disease.
