Objective To understand the occurrence of surgical site infection (SSI)following class I incision operation in a tumor hospital,explore the continuous surveillance and improve effectiveness,so as to provide reference for further inter-vention.Methods Targeted surveillance on thyroid surgery patients undergoing classⅠincision operations in a hospital in January-June 2013 were performed by medical record review,bedside observation,dressing change observation and patient follow-up,the surveillance result was compared with that of the same period of 2010.Results There was one case of SSI in January-June 2013 and January-June 2010 respectively,SSI rate was 0.20% and 0.18% respectively,there was no significant difference(P =1.000).In January-June 2013,prophylactic perioperative antimicrobial usage rate was 0.20%,which was lower than 27.21% of 2010;the coincident rate of indication for antimicrobial use was 100%, which was higher than 6.67% of 2010,the difference was statistically different(all P <0.001).Conclusion Targe-ted surveillance on SSI is helpful for the rational perioperative use of antimicrobial agents,the reducing of antimicro-bial prophylactic use doesn’t lead to the increase of class Ⅰ incision SSI.

Objective To explore the sensitivity of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and ultrasonic elastography(UE) in detecting different sizes of thyroid papillary carcinoma.Methods 64 cases of thyroid papillary carcinoma were divided into two groups according to the diameter size(group 1,≤1 cm;group 2,＞ 1 cm) and examined by the contrast-enhanced ultrasound and elastography,then the features were analyzed and the sensitivity for detecting of the two methods in different groups were compared.Results The sensitivity for detecting in CEUS was higher than in UE,which had significant difference between two methods.CEUS and UE were valuable for detecting and they had no difference in sensitivity for detecting in group 1.There was a significant difference in sensitivity for detecting between two methods in group 2.Conclusions Both CEUS and UE were valuable in diagnosis of thyroid papillary carcinoma and the sensitivity for detecting in CEUS is higher than in UE in group 2.

Objective To assess the relationships among the autologous serum-induced skin wheal-andflare reaction,ex vivo serum-induced basophil histamine release, and serum levels of IgG anti-FcεRI autoantibodies in patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU).Methods Sixty patients with CIU collected from the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were recruited for this study.Sera were obtained from the subjects,and ASST was performed in all of the subjects.The results of ASST were determined according to a recommended criterion described by Sabroe et al,and the positive results were further subclassified into wheal plus flare (W+F) pattern and wheal-only (W) pattern,negative results into flare-only (F) pattern and no response pattern.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to quantify the content of histamine released by autologous serum-induced basophils and serum levels of IgG anti-FcεRI autoantibodies.Results Of the 60 patients,19 (31.7％)were positive for ASST,including 16 (84.2％) presenting W+F pattern and 3 presenting W pattern; 41 were negative for ASST,including 3 (7.3％) giving F pattern and 38 giving no response pattern.The histamine release rate was significantly higher in ASST-positive patients than in ASST-negative patients (33.38％ ± 9.83％ vs.4.06％ ±1.44％,t =5.13,P＜ 0.01),and was nearly twice as high as that in basophils induced by 10 μmol/L formylmethionyleucylphenylalanine (Fmlp).The serum levels of IgG anti-FcεRI autoantibodies were high in only patients giving (W+F) pattern (757.64 ± 168.99 ng/L),but low in the normal human controls (43.25 ± 16.63 ng/L).Conclusions The positive ASST result of wheal plus flare pattern is associated with high serum levels of IgG anti-FcεRI autoantibodies,and is suggestive of a clinical diagnosis of autoimmune chronic urticaria (ACU).

[Objective] To investigate the effect of Xiao Si Wu Granules (XSWG), a preparation composed of Xiao Chaihu Decoction, Siwu Decoction and Witling Powder, on renal renin-angiotensin system (HAS) in diabetic rats. [Methods] Twenty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into the normal, control and XSWG groups. Except the nonnal group, the rats in other groups were given one-dose intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) 65 mg/kg to induce diabetes mellitus (DM). After the establishment of diabetic models, XSWG group was treated with XSWG 1.8 g?kg-1?d-1 and the other two groups with the same dose of saline for 12 weeks. After treatment, the intrarenal angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ ) concentration was detected with radioimmunoassay method, renocortical antiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity with ultraviolet spectrophotometry and renocortical angiotensin Ⅱ receptor type 1 (AT1) mRNA level with reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). [Results] AngⅡ concentration and renocortical ACE activity were increased, and renocortical AT1 mRNA level was decreased in the model group, the difference being significant as compared with the normal group ( P

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Xuefu Zhuyu Capsule (XFZYC), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on endothelin-1 (ET-1) release in myocardium and vascular endothelium and nitric oxide (NO)/nitric oxide synthase (NOS) system of swines after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and reperfusion, and to explore the action mechanisms of XFZYC in improving the endothelium function. METHODS: Forty-five Yorkshire swines were randomized into 3 groups: sham-operated group, untreated group and XFZYC-treated group. A Yorkshire swine model of reperfusion in AMI was established by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery for 90 min followed by 2 h relaxation. The content of serum ET-1 and NO was measured by radioimmunoassay before and after AMI and after reperfusion, respectively. Twenty-four hours after operation, all Yorkshire swines underwent diagnostic coronary angiography to delineate coronary arteries. The expressions of ET-1 and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in myocardial tissue of ischemic area were quantified with Western blotting. Microvessel density of the implanting sites was assessed by using HE staining. RESULTS: Compared with the untreated group, the levels of serum ET-1 after AMI and reperfusion were significantly decreased in XFZYC-treated group (P<0.01), while the NO levels after AMI and reperfusion in XFZYC-treated group were significantly increased (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in diagnostic coronary angiography between XFZYC-treated group and untreated group (P=0.253). Western blotting showed that the level of ET-1 in ischemic area in XFZYC-treated group was lower than that in the untreated group (P<0.01), while the eNOS protein expression in XFZYC-treated group was higher than that in the untreated group (P<0.01). The results of HE staining and microvessel density analysis of the implanting sites all showed that the degree of telangiectasis was reduced, the cardiac muscle damage was improved, and the density of capillaries was increased obviously in XFZYC-treated group as compared with the untreated group. CONCLUSION: The endothelium injury may be one of the important mechanisms for no-reflow phenomenon. XFZYC may reduce the no-reflow by protecting endothelium cells.

Objective:To examine the expression of odontoblast related proteins in dental pulp stem cells(DPSCs)induced by BMP-7.Methods:DPSCs were cultured in the common culture medium or medium supplemented with 1 00 ng/ml BMP-7.Electron microscope,CCK8 and immunohistochemical staining were carried out to estimate the cell morphology and differentiation.Results:In-duced by BMP-7,the morphology of DPSCs was not changed,the proliferation of DPSCs was slower than that of the cells without BMP-7 treatment.DPSCs were negative for the expression of DSPP,DMP-7 and ALP.However,DPSCs were found strongly positive for DSPP,DMP-7 and ALP after the induction of BMP-7.Conclusion:BMP-7 induction may promote the differentiation of DPSCs.

Objective The nano-zirconia scaffolds we previously prepared had a good 3-dimensional ( 3D ) connectivity but did not achieve the ideal sintering rate and compressive strength .The objective of this study was to explore the enhancing effect of polyvinyl butyral ( PVB) as a dispersant on the compressive strength of 3D nano-zirconia porous scaffolds for bone tissue engineering . Methods We prepared the slurry containing different concentrations of PVB and ana-lyzed the improving effect of PVB on the mechanical properties of the scaffolds by sediment experiment , compressive strength test and scan-ning electron microscopy . Results The sediment experiment showed
no significant stratification in the slurry with 0.2wt%PVB, white suspension in the upper layer and white precipitate in the lower layer , with a significantly higher compressive strength of the scaffold ([0.324 ±0.030] MPa) than that of the scaffold prepared by adding other concentrations of PVB to the slurry (P <0.01).And the compressive strength of the scaffold constructed by adding no dispersant ([0.109 ±0.021] MPa) was remarkably lower than that of the scaffold constructed by adding PVB to the slurry (P<0.05).Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that the scaffold prepared by adding 0.2wt%PVB to the slurry had a complete porous structure with the fewest and most sparsely distributed surface cracks as compared with other PVB concentration groups . Conclusion PVB can signifi-cantly improve the stability of zirconia slurry , enhance the compressive strength of the nano-zirconia porous scaffold , and make the scaf-fold more applicable to bone tissue engineering .

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of endovascular treatment for Leriche syndrome.Methods The clinical data of 57 patients with Leriche syndrome,who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from September 2010 to October 2014,were retrospectively analyzed.The curative effect of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was analyzed.Results Among the 57 patients (65 diseased limbs in total),simple PTA was employed in 2,catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) with subsequent PTA and stenting in 5,and PTA plus stenting in 50.A total of 97 stents were implanted,the technical success rate was 100％.After the treatment,the ankle brachial index (ABI) increased from preoperative (0.42±0.22) to postoperative (0.83±0.15),the difference between the two data was statistically significant (P＜0.01).Thepatients were followed up for (9.8±2.8) months.The 6-month and 12-month primary patency rates were 95.4％ and 90.7％ respectively,the postoperative secondary patency rate was 96.4％.After the treatment,the symptoms of lower limb ischemia were improved in all patients.During perioperative period,iliac artery rupture due to balloon dilatation occurred in 2 patients,pseudoaneurysm at brachial aaery puncture point in one patient,hematoma at puncture point in 3 patients,cerebral infarction in 2 patients and myocardial infarction in one patient.One patient developed contrast-induced nephropathy and finally died of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.The perioperative mortality was 1.75％.One patient developed in-stent obstruction in 3 months after two stage treatment,and artificial vascular bypass grafting had to be carried out.Conclusion For the treatment of Leriche syndrome,PTA is safe and reliable,it carries less complications and lower perioperative mortality with satisfactory short-term patency rate.(J Intervent Radiol,2017,26:221-224)

Objective To investigate the effect of ERK1/2 phosphorylation on the proliferation of human aorta vascular smooth muscle cells (HAVSMCs) stimulated by advanced glycation end products (AGEs) Methods CCK8 was used to test the effect of AGEs with different concentration on the proliferation of HAVSMCs, and the effect of PD98059, a specific inhibitor of ERK1/2, on HAVSMCs proliferation stimulated by AGEs was also detected. Flow Cytometer (FCM) was used to detect the cell cycle transformation induced by AGEs. Western Blot was used to detect the expression of relative proteins. Results 10 mg/L AGEs observably facilitated the proliferation and the DNA synthesis of HAVSMCs and PD98059 (40 umol/L) markedly inhibited the proliferation and cell cycle evolution of HAVSMCs induced by AGEs. Furthermore, ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and PCNA were regulated by AGEs and thus it showed time and dose dependent. Conclusion AGEs participates in the proliferation of HAVSMCs by activating ERK1/2 signal path.
