Objective To observe the curative effect of internal compression in the treatment of intra-articular fracture of the calcaneus by anatomical plate with compression bolt through the sinus tarsi approach.Methods Forty-nine patients with 62 calcaneal fractures treated with anatomical plate with compression bolt through sinus tarsi approach from September 2006 to May 2009 were enrolled in the study.According to Sanders classification,there were 39 patients with type Ⅱ fractures,20 with type Ⅲ fractures and three with type Ⅳ fractures.The axial and lateral view X-ray radiographs and the axial,semi-coronal and sagittal computed tomography (CT) images of the heel were taken before and after operation.The reduction of posterior articular surface of calcaneus and calcaneal shape was observed and the width,height,length,B(o)hler' s angle and Gissan' s angle were measured on the radiographs,respectively.Partial weight bearing was allowed 12 weeks after operation and full weight beating was allowed 16 weeks after operation.The anatomical plates were removed 8-15 months after operation.The Maryland hindfoot score system was applied to evaluate the function of the hindfoot postoperatively.Results All the patients were followed up for 7.5-23 months (average 10.6 months),which showed no wound infection.The reduction of the posterior facet was nearly anatomical (less than 3 mm articular displacement) in all patients and the shape of the calcaneus was satisfactory.The width,height,length,B(o)hler' s angle and Gissan' s angle were improved significantly in all patients (P ＜0.01 ).According to Maryland hindfoot scoring system,29 feet scored 90-100 points (excellent),18 feet scored 80-90 points (good),10 feet scored 70-80 points (moderate) and 5 feet scored 60-70 points (poor).A total of 40 patients (82％) were able to return to their original occupations at mean 9.1 months ( 6.0-12.9 months ) after the injury.Conclusion The anatomical plate with compression bolt internal fixation through sinus tarsi approach is an ideal method for the treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneus fracture.

The peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) from 111 cancer patients were isolated and cultured respectively for 23 - 27 days in the medium mainly conditioned by IL-2 and PHA. With ~(125) I-UdR release method, sampling in random way, we examed the cytotoxicities of PBLs and lymphokine-activated-killer (LAK) cells in different culture periods in vitro. The statistic analysis on sufficient data gave the following results: 1. The cytotoxicity against K562 cells increased from 34.78 ?25% of the PBLs to 68.04 ?17.3% of the cells cultured for 8-13 days, afterward, kept about 70% to 23 - 27 days. The constitutional proportion patterns showed that the freshly isolated samples dispersed at a wide range of cytotoxicities (10 - 90%), and that most of the cultured samples ( ~ 85%) concentrated on the range of higher cytotoxicities (50 ~ 95% ) after 8-13 days. 2. The cytotoxicity against Raji cells rose from 8.9 ?8% of the fresh PBLs to 42.1 ?22% of the LAK cells at 8 - 13 days, and maintained about 35% in the following periods. The constitutional proportion patterns of the cytotoxicity against Raji illustrated that all the fresh PBL samples were below 25% of cytotoxicity, and that during the culture, one part of the samples ( ~ 30%) acquired the higher cytotoxicities (50 -90% ), but the other part of the samples ( - 40%) remained at lower cytotoxicities (below 35% ) . The mechanisms behind these phenomena are worth further investigating.

Objective To investigate the effects of Pinella's ingredients on the viability of cells, morphology, microstructure, cell cycle and apoptosis in human cervical cancer cell lines. Methods The β-sitosterol and/or total protein of Pinella were incubated at different concentrations with cervical cancer cell line SiHa. The effects of β-sitosterol and/or total protein of Pinella on the viability of cells were tested by MTT assay. The effects of β-sitosterol on morphology, microstructure, cell cycle and apoptosis were studied by phase-contrast microscope, electron microscope and flowcytometry, respectively. Results β-sitosterol could obviously inhibit the viability of SiHa cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner. The total protein of Pinella had no effects on SiHa cells' viability. 20 μmol/L β-sitosterol induced the accumulation of SiHa cells in S phase in the cell cycle. And the percents of apoptosis and necrosis increased. The morphology and microstructure of SiHa cells changed significantly after treated with 20 μmol/L β-sitosterol. Conclusions The total protein of Pinella had little influence on the viability of cervical cancer cells SiHa. The viability of SiHa cells could be suppressed by β-sitosterol. β-sitosterol could induce the accumulation of cells in S phase and the percent of apoptosis and necrosis. The morphology and microstructure changed significantly after treated with β-sitosterol. Therefore, β-sitosterol might be a prospect safe and low toxicity anti-cervical cancer drug.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of semi-open cancellous bone grafting for infected bone defect combined with soft tissue defect of lower limb.Methods A retrospective case control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 26 patients with infected bone defect combined with soft tissue defect of lower limb admitted to the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from March 2010 to August 2017.There were 16 males and 10 females,aged 16-65 years [(39.6 ± 12.8)years].The bone defect area before bone grafting was 1.4-6.0 cm [(3.3 ± 1.2) cm].The surface soft tissue defect of bone graft granules was 2.3 cm × 1.1 cm-8.5 cm × 5.0 cm after bone grafting.If the defect was segmental defect of more than 6 cm,the defect was firstly reduced by bone transport.When the defect was near the docking point,the bone defect was repaired by open bone grafting.If the defect was located at the metaphyseal end of the calcaneus or tibia,stage Ⅰ or stage Ⅱ open bone grafting was performed after debridement.After bone grafting,antibiotic-containing cement sheets were used to cover the wound in 14 patients (semi-open group),and vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) devices were used to cover the wound in 12 patients (VSD group).The time of granulation tissue covering bone graft granules,wound healing time,bone defect healing time,material cost and complications (wound infection and necrosis of bone graft granules) were compared between the two groups.The limb function was evaluated according to Paley score.Results All patients were followed up for 12-40 months [(19.3 ±7.2) months].In the semi-open group and VSD group,the time of granulation tissue coverage was 22.2 days (15.0-44.0) days and 20.2 days (15.0-44.0) days (P ＞ 0.05);wound healing time was 3.1 months (1.5-5.5) months and 3.1 months (1.5-6.5) months (P ＞ 0.05);bone defect healing time was (5.5 ± 2.2) months and (5.9 ± 2.4) months (P ＞ 0.05);the cost of covering wound materials was (2 056.1 ± 23.4) yuan and (5 555.3 ± 1 105.5) yuan respectively (P ＜ 0.05).No wound infection occurred in either group.Two patients in the semi-open group and one patient in the VSD group had bone graft granules surface necrosis (P ＞0.05).According to Paley's functional score,the results were excellent in 12 patients and good in two in the semiopen group,compared with excellent in 11 and good in one in the VSD group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion For infected bone defect combined with soft tissue defect of lower limb,semi-open bone grafting can simplify the nursing of wound,prevent wound infection,promote wound healing and fracture healing.It has similar therapeutic effect with VSD,but its treatment cost is significantly reduced.

Recent studies have shown that tumor microenvironment (TME) is significantly different from normal tissues, such as the change of abnormal enzyme expression, hypoxia, pH and so on. TME is closely related to the induced proliferation of tumor cells, angiogenesis, immune escape and the production of multidrug resistance. Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the main stromal cell types in the TME. A variety of cytokines secreted by CAFs play an important role in tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. Understanding the role and mechanism of CAFs in the development of breast cancer is expected to provide a new target for improving the prognosis of breast cancer patients.

Objective:To observe the effects of salvianolic acid B on migration and tube formation of the retinal vascular endothelial cell (RVEC) in high glucose, and explore its mechanism with network pharmacology.Methods:The cells were divided into normal group, model group and 1.0, 0.5, 0.1 μg/ml salvianolic acid B group according to the random number table method. The cells of each group were added with 5.5 mmol/L glucose for intervention, and the salvianolic acid B group was added with 1.0, 0.5, and 0.1 μg/ml salvianolic acid B for intervention. After 72 h, the cell viability of each group was detected by the CCK-8 method. The cells were divided into normal group, model group and low-, medium-, and high-dose salvianolic acid B group according to the random number table method. Then the cells of the normal group were added with 5.5 mmol/L glucose; the model group was added with 25 mmol/L glucose; the low-, medium-, and high-dose salvianolic acid B group was added with 25 mmol/L glucose and 0.062 5, 0.1250, 0.250 0 μg/ml salvianolic acid B. Then by taking Transwell test to detect the number of cell migration, and Matrigel test to analyze the total length of cells tubes. The active targets of Salvianolic acid B were screened by SuperTarget and Swiss TargetPrediction. Then, the targets of diabetic retinopathy were obtained by searching the GAD database, pharmGkb database, TTD database, DiGSeE database and OMIM database. The effective targets of drug-disease interaction were screened, and the component-target-disease interaction network was constructed by Cytoscape. Finally, the effective targets were analyzed by DAVID for GO analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Molecular docking was performed by using Accelrys Discovery Studio Client 2.5 software.Results:The CCK-8 method showed that the cell absorbance values of 0.5 and 0.1 μg/ml salvianolic acid B group were not significantly different from those of the normal group ( P>0.05). The results of Transwell experiment and Matrigel experiment showed that compared with the model group, the relative number of migrating cells and the total length of tubule formation in each dose group of salvianolic acid B decreased ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). The interaction network revealed that salvianolic acid B acted on 46 targets and 8 signaling pathways. Conclusions:Salvianolic acid B could inhibit the migrating and tube forming ability of RVEC cultivated by high glucose. The results suggest that salvianolic acid B may play roles in preventing diabetic retinopathy.
