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 investigate the clinical effect of standard large decompressive craniotomy in treatment of intracranial hematoma induced by severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) and its influence on neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and inflammatory cytokines.Methods A total of 168 patients with sTBI-induced intracranial hematoma were assigned to standard large decompressive craniotomy (standard group) and traditional treatment (control group),with 84 patients per group.Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) and levels of serum NSE,TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-10 were compared between the two groups after surgery.Results GOS was better in standard group than in control group after surgery (P ＜0.05).Standard group presented significantly lower levels of serum NSE,TNF-α and IL-6 (P ＜ 0.05),significantly higher level of IL-10 (P ＜ 0.05) and a dropped ratio of IL-6 to IL-10 after surgery.However,there was no significant change in control group.Mean survival time of the patients in standard group was (33.11 ± 0.62) months.Two-year and three-year survival rate were significantly higher in standard group than in control group.Conclusion Standard large decompressive craniotomy cna enhance the clinical effects in patients with sTBI-induced intracranial hematoma,improve their neurologic deficits and daily living ability and decrease their body inflammatory stress level and injury.

Objective To observe the effect of Radix astragali (RA) on myocardial connexin-43 in rats with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Methods The dilated cardiomyopathy model in rat was established through intraperitoneal injection with adriamycin. The rats in the model group were randomly divided into RA group and the model control group according to different methods of administration. Rats in RA group were gavaged with Astragalus particles and double-distilled water, and rats in model control group and normal control group were gavaged with an equal amount of double-distilled water daily for four weeks. At the end of 12 weeks, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured with echocardiogram. The Cx43 mRNA level was tested by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Immunohistochemical method was used to observe myocardial Cx43 expression and distribution. Results Compared with the model control group, the Cx43 mRNA and protein expressions and LVEF were increased signiifcantly in RA group (P<0.05). The disorders in distribution of myocardial Cx43 improved in RA group in contrast to the model control group. Conclusions Radix astragali can improve myocardial Cx43 expression and distribution in DCM rats, and can further improve the cardiac function.
