Because of the widely use and the steady accumulation of clinical experience,the value has been consistently affirmative. This review de-scribes the interventional therapy of airway dysplasia via bronchoscopy.

Background and purpose: miR-21 is ovexpressed in various types of human cancers. This study was designed to investigate the effect of miR-21 knockdown on cell proliferation, migration and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell line CNE2. Methods: CNE2 was transfected with miR-21 inhibitor by LipofectamineTM2000. Meanwhile CNE2 was transfected with NC inhibitor as negative control. qRT-PCR was used to detect the miR-21 expression in these cells. The effects of miR-21 downregulation on cell proliferation, migration and invasion were evaluated by MTS, wound-healing Transwell and invasion assays. Results: miR-21 expression was remarkably downregulated in miR-21 inhibitor-transfected cells in concentration-dependent manner, indicating transfection with miR-21 inhibitor can effectively reduce expression level of miR-21 in CNE2 cells. Transfection of miR-21 inhibitor into CNE2 cells led to a signiifcant decrease in cell proliferation rate compared with control cells (P<0.05). miR-21 downregulation results in reduction of cell migration(P<0.05). Moreover, the cell invasion by Transwell invasion assay was reduced in miR-21-downregulated cells relative to control cells. Conclusion:miR-21 can promote cell proliferation, migration and invasion of NPC cells. And it maybe plays an important role in tumorigenesis and development of NPC.

Objective To establish the HPLC fingerprint of Disporum cantoniense.

Results The HPLC fingerprint of 15 batches of Disporum cantoniense was established. Thirteen common peaks in the fingerprint were demarcated, four of which were identified by reference substances. Chemical pattern recognition of fingerprint was performed by hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis. Conclusion The method is simple, accurate and has a good repeatability, and can be used for quality control of Disporum cantoniense.

Objective To analyze the CT findings of endobronchial spread in lung adenocarcinoma. Methods The CT findings of 15 lung adenocarcinomas or bronchioloalveolar carcinomas with endobronchial spread were reviewed,the distribution and the progression of the spread were evaluated.Results All of the primary tumors were consolidation form.The spread lesions distributed in one side of the lung or both sides along the bronchus.The pleural surface was spared.The CT findings of the spread included centrilobular nodules(n=5),tree-in-bud(n=7),acinar nodules(n=2),ground-glass opacities(n=10)and air- space consolidations(n=13)in the first CT examination.5 cases of the spread lesions only presented centrilobular nodules(single form)and 10 cases presented several appearances(complex form).All of the cases were diagnosed as tuberculosis or pneumonia,and antituberculotic or antibiotic therapy was taken with no effect.The follow-up CT scans showed progression in all cases,and the spread lesions with single form became multiple consolidations.The spread lesions with complex form deteriorated faster than the single one. Conclusion Although the CT findings of the endobronchial spread of the lung adenocarcinoma is specific, the clinical history and laboratory examination also are important for the differential diagnosis with tuberculosis and other infectious diseases.

Objective To analyze effects of thoracoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of suspected diaphragmatic injury after thoracoabdominal stab wound.Methods Sixty-eight patients who received thoracoscopic diagnosis and management of diaphragmatic injuries due to thoracoabdominal stab wounds from April 2000 to October 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Occult diaphragmatic injuries were found in 11 patients.Seven patients underwent thoracoscopic suture,of which five had synchronous laparotomy for inspected abdominal organ injuries.Pulmonary parenchymal lacerations occurred in 15 patients who received thoracoscopic repair or resection.Coagulated hemothorax in 13 patients were removed.Postoperative complications included pleural effusion in one patient,pneumonia in two and pulmonary atelectasis in one.Hospital stay was(7.9±13.5)days,without ICU stay.The length of drainage,operation time and intraoperative blood loss were(3.3±1.5)days,(45.6±78.1)minutes and(57.8±24.3)ml respectively.There was no conversion to thoracotomy.Thoracic CT scan was performed six months postoperatively,without hernias.The accuracy of thoracoscopy in diagnosing diaphragmatic injury was 100％.Conclusion Thoracoscopy should be performed for the thoracoabdominal stab wounds with stable hemodynamics,with definite significance especially for the diagnosis and treatment of wounds at the 7-9th intercostal spaces.

BACKGROUND: Greater tuberosity of humerus, as the attachment point of rotator cuff, plays a vital role in shoulder.Neer and AO classification for proximal humeral fractures have been accepted extensively. However, the classification for single greater tuberosity fractures of the proximal humerus is little reported, and its fixation method remains controversial.OBJECTIVE: To explore the curative efficacy of the double-row suture anchors under arthroscopy for avulsion-type greater tuberosity fractures (Mutch type Ⅰ) METHODS: Clinical data of 24 patients with avulsion-type greater tuberosity fractures (Mutch type Ⅰ) undergoing double-row suture anchors under arthroscopy were analyzed retrospectively. The displacement distance of the greater tuberosity of humerus was measured on CT before and after fixation. The shoulder joint was evaluated by Constant-Murley Score and the University of California, Los Angeles score at baseline, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Besides, the visual analogue scale scores were detected at baseline and 12 months postoperatively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Double-row suture anchors effectively improved the displacement of greater tuberosity and rotator cuff injury. (2) The patients accompanied by rotator cuff injury accounted for 79.16%. (3) The Constant-Murley Score and the University of California, Los Angeles scores were significantly improved at each time point (P < 0.05). The visual analogue scale scores after fixation were significantly superior to those before fixation (P < 0.05). (4) These results suggest that the double-row suture anchors under arthroscopy can effectively improve the displacement of greater tuberosity and alleviate the pain. Moreover, it is conductive for early recovery of the shoulder function with little trauma, so it is a good choice for avulsion-type greater tuberosity fractures (Mutch type Ⅰ).

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) hernia repair and risk factors affecting postoperative complications.Methods The retrospective casecontrol study was conducted.The clinical data of 595 patients who received laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from February 2008 to August 2016 was collected.Operations were performed by the same doctors' team.Observation indicators:(1) surgical situations;(2) postoperative situations;(3) follow-up situations;(4) risk factors affecting complications after laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect the recovery time of non-restricted activity,postoperative complications and hernia recurrence up to February 2017.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s.The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were done using the chi-square test and Logistic regression model.Results (1) Surgical situations:595 patients underwent laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair using the heavy meshes.Overall operation time and overall volume of blood loss were (55±25) minutes and (7±5)mL,including operation time of (50±20)minutes in 502 unilateral hernias and operation time of (81 ± 29)minutes in 93 bilateral hernias.Of 595 patients,34 had incarcerated hernia,the contents of hernia:greater omentum,small intestine and sigmoid colon were detected in 21,11 and 2 patients,respectively,with an incarcerated time of 2-21 hours;4 with incarcerated hernia induced small intestinal necrosis received laparoscopy-assisted small intestinal resection ± anastomosis,1 with sigmoid colon necrosis received necrotic sigmoid canal resection ± sigmoidostomy and 29 received repair after the contents restoration of hernia.Operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss in 34 patients with incarcerated hernia were (84 ± 39)minutes and (12±6) mL.Thirteen of 595 patients (10 with indirect hernia and 3 with direct hernia) had recurrent hernia,and operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss were (75±-26)minutes and (10± 5)mL.(2) Postoperative situations:time to initial exsufflation of 595 patients was (19± 12)hours.Of 595 patients,590 took fluid diet at 6 hours postoperatively and 5 undergoing enterectomy took fluid diet at 24 hours postoperatively.The pain score at 1 day postoperatively and duration of hospital stay were respectively 2.5± 1.4 and (2.1± 1.9)days.(3) Follow-up situations:of 595 patients,593 recovered non-restricted activity at 2 weeks postoperatively and 2 didn't recover non-restricted activity at 2 weeks postoperatively.Of 595 patients,542 were followed up for 6-60 months,with a median time of 31 months.Fifty-seven,25,13 and 1 patients were respectively complicated with seroma,surgical pain,urinary retention and enteroparalysis,they were improved by symptomatic treatment,and the same patient can have multiple complications.There were no severe complications which needed surgical intervention,such as vascular injury,damnify of intestinal canal and poke hole hernia.Of 2 patients with recurrence of hernia,1 with right indirect hernia had recurrence of direct hernia and then received Lichtenstein tension-free hernia repair,and 1 received treatment in other hospital.(4) Risk factors affecting complications after laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair:results of univariate analysis showed that age,diameter of hernia sac,incarcerated hernia,recurrent hernia,operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss were related factors affecting complications after laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair (x2 =6.657,55.296,44.305,5.253,117.461,100.722,P＜0.05).Results of multivariate analysis showed that diameter of hernia sac ≥ 4 cm,incarcerated hernia,operation time ≥ 100 minutes and volume of intraoperative blood loss ≥ 10 mL were independent risk factors affecting complications after laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair (OR =3.610,11.315,12.401,7.346,95％ confidence interval:2.009-6.486,3.579-35.772,5.408-28.437,3.739-14.434,P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic TAPP approach for inguinal hernia is safe and effective,and diameter of hernia sac ≥4 cm,incarcerated hernia,operation time ≥ 100 minutes and volume of intraoperative blood loss ≥ 10 mL are independent risk factors affecting complications after laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair.

Objective To study the effect of serum uric acid (UA) levels on kidney graft function as well as long-term graft survival after renal transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 859 kidney transplant recipients from Jan.2008 to May 2014 were investigated retrospectively.The differences in clinical indexes between normal UA group and hyperuricemia group were compared based on UA levels.Cox regression model was built to analyze the effect of elevated UA on overall graft loss,death censored graft failure and death of patients,respectively.Kaplan-Meier graft survival curve was used to compare the overall graft loss,death censored graft failure and death of patients between normal UA group and hyperuricemia group.Results The average follow-up time was 38.6 ± 17.3 months for 859 kidney transplant recipients.590 (68.7％) recipients were enrolled in normal UA group and 269 (31.3％) recipients were defined as hyperuricemia patients.The average eGFR in hyperuricemia group was significantly decreased as compared with normal UA group (79.4 ± 20.93 vs.94.7 ± 20.55,P＜0.001).Cox regression model showed that if UA level increased per 10 mol/L,the risk of overall graft lost increased 1.070 times (P＜0.001) and the risk of death censored graft failure increased 1.121 times (P＜0.001) accordingly.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed the overall graft loss was dramatically decreased (P =0.009),and the death censored graft failure was significantly decreased (P＜0.0001) in hyperuricemia group as compared with that in normal UA group.The death of patients showed no significant difference between two groups (P =0.638).Conclusion Serum UA levels after kidney transplantation affect graft function as well as long-term graft survival.
