Objective To investigate the characteristic of surgical treatment of burns in pediatrics patients. Methods From January 2006 to March 2012,47 pediatrics patients and 244 adult patients were received the surgical treatment in our hospital. The clinical data of two groups were analyzed retrospectively and compared. Results The female ratio in pediatric patients was higher than adult group,and almost patients received operation,especially plastic surgery and skin repair,with less surgeries of wound repair and infected surgeries. The preopera-tive physiological index between two groups was no significantly different. Conclusion On the premise of effective preoperative preparation, we could carry out surgical treatment of burns for pediatrics patients positively.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the roles of microfilaments in the expression of collagenase and TIMP-1 in normal and hypertrophic scar.
METHODSCell culture and Northern blot hybridization methods were used in this study.
RESULTSAfter the disruption of microfilaments with cytochalasin B, mRNA contents of collagenase and TIMP-1 both increased significantly in normal and hypertrophic scar fibroblasts.
CONCLUSIONThe result suggest that the microfilament cytoskeleton may regulate the synthesis and degradation of ECM, which may be a mechanism of gene regulation during wound healing.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of consolidated trunk muscle training on balance and motor function in patients with hemiplegia after stroke. Methods96 patients were divided into treatment group (48 cases) and control group (48 cases). All the patients received regularly rehabilitation, and the patients in the treatment group received the control ability training in the trunk muscle in addition. They were assessed with Trunk Control Test (TCT), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and walking speed (WS) before and after the treatment. ResultsThe scores of TCT, BBS, FAC, MBI, WS and FMA improved significantly in both groups after treatment (P<0.01), and improved more in the treatment group than in control group (P<0.05). The scores of TCT correlated with those of BBS, MBI, FAC, FMA, and WS (P<0.05). ConclusionThe consolidated trunk muscle training can obviously improve balance and motor function of stroke patients.

English biomedical research paper writing is a key skill for biomedical postgraduates as it directly determines the publicity of their research findings and their international academic influence. It belongs to the field of ESP (English for Specific Purposes), and has the characteristics of diversified students, specialized and complicated teaching content, and a curriculum with time and space constraints. Based on the characteristics, needs analysis of this course as well as years of discipline construction and teaching research, the flipped classroom for English biomedical research paper writing based on collaborative teaching is put forward, which has combined the advantages of both collaborative teaching and flipped classroom: it integrates the knowledge expertise of biomedical teachers and English teachers to meet the requirements for ESP teachers; in the meantime, it has broken the time and space constraints of traditional classroom through "after-class knowledge input and in-class knowledge extension and deepening", blazing new trails for course delivery.

Objective To screen the optimal RNA interference sequence of acute monocytic leukemia associated antigen 22 (MLAA-22) gene in order to study gene function of it. Methods MLAA-22 coding sequence (CDS) was cloned by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and the CDS was inserted in to pEGFP-N1-3FLAG vector to construct eukaryotic expression vector of MLAA-22. At the same time, four RNA interference sequences were designed and cloned to the vector. Expression vector and RNA interference vector were co-transfected into 293T cells, and the optimal RNA interference sequence was screened by fluorescence and Western blot analyses. Results MLAA-22 eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1-3FLAG and four RNA interference vectors were successfully constructed. After co-transfected 293T cells, KD2 was selected as the optimal interference sequence of MLAA-22. Conclusion KD2 is an optimal interference sequence for targeting MLAA-22 antigen gene.

OBJECTIVE To standardize the English translations of the current Chinese patent medicine (CPM) instructions in order to increase its English translation quality and improve its readability. METHODS In an attempt to standardize its English translation, 64 CPM instructions were collected as samples for translation projects in Trados, using its two core functions of translation memory and terminology, combined with pre-editing (PRE) and post-editing (PE) skills. RESULTS The results showed that translation projects had up to 21.65% perfect match. Based on translation project practice, it is proposed to use the free translation or transcreation plus transliteration method to translate product names of CPM, and apply two human-computer interaction translation modes:“ machine translation (MT)+computer-assisted translation (CAT)+PE” and “PRE+MT+CAT+PE”, which are adopted in the translation of weak literary sections and strong literary sections, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The application of CAT not only improves the translation quality and the translation mode, reduces the translation cost, and maintains the consistency and style of the translation, but also accumulates language assets for future use, providing a novel reference for translating traditional Chinese medicine literature.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy is a novel cellular immunotherapy that is widely used to treat hematological malignancies, including acute leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Despite its remarkable clinical effects, this therapy has side effects that cannot be underestimated. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is one of the most clinically important and potentially life-threatening toxicities. This syndrome is a systemic immune storm that involves the mass cytokines releasing by activated immune cells. This phenomenon causes multisystem damages and sometimes even death. In this study, we reported the management of a patient with recurrent and refractory multiple myeloma and three patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia who suffered CRS during CAR-T treatment. The early application of tocilizumab, an anti-IL-6 receptor antibody, according to toxicity grading and clinical manifestation is recommended especially for patients who suffer continuous hyperpyrexia, hypotensive shock, acute respiratory failure, and whose CRS toxicities deteriorated rapidly. Moreover, low doses of dexamethasone (5-10 mg/day) were used for refractory CRS not responding to tocilizumab. The effective management of the toxicities associated with CRS will bring additional survival opportunities and improve the quality of life for patients with cancer.
