1.Gene therapy and cutaneous wound healing
International Journal of Surgery 2009;36(4):281-284
Cutaneous wound healing is a complicated multiatep process with numerous mediators that act in a network of activation and inhibition processes. Nonhealing chronic wounds decrease the quality of Life. Recombinant growth factors, currently used in clinic, fail to provide a sustained repair function at the wound due to their inadequate biological availability and transient half-time. Recent attention has focused on gene therapy, which might become a significant treatment modality for those wound healing pathologies refractory to other wound management approaches. This review discusses the potentials and limitations of current genetherapy for the treatment of wounds, current ongoing clinical trials, and possible future directions in this exciting field.
2.Research Progress in Prevention and Treatment of Postoperative Abdominal Adhesions by Ligustrazine
World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2015;(6):1290-1294
Ligustrazine is one of the active ingredients of chuanxiong. Modern medical research indicated that ligustrazine had the effect of improving microcirculation, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrosis, which showed the potential function of ligustrazine in the prevention and treatment of postoperative abdominal adhesions. The basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) also believed that ligustrazine had the unique double effect of regulating both qi and blood. Therefore, ligustrazin had broad research and application prospects in the prevention and treatment of postoperative abdominal adhesions. This article reviewed studies of ligustrazine in the prevention and treatment of postoperative abdominal adhesions in recent years from four aspects, which were theoretical basis, clinical application, mechanism research and pharmaceutical dosage forms. It identified the research status and advantages of ligustrazine in the prevention and treatment of postoperative abdominal adhesions. It also pointed out shortages in the clinical application, such as unstandardized medication, small sample size study and etc. There were insufficient deep and clear studies in the research of mechanism. In the aspect of pharmaceutical dosage forms, the thinking should be expanded with innovation. It will provide basis and direction for research and application in the future, in order to further elucidate mechanisms in the prevention and treatment of postoperative abdominal adhesions as well as provide theory basis, research thinking and methods for the real display of advantages in TCM.

Objective To investigate the relationship between P300 of auditory event-related potential (ERP) and age, sex in healthy people. Methods Auditory P300 was tested in 60 healthy people of different ages and the results were analyzed by t-test and the linear correlation. Results The peak-latency (PL) and amplitude (Amp) of P300 were significantly different between the less than 59-year-old group and the more than 60-year-old group. For all subjects tested, age had positive linear correlation with PL of P300 and negative linear correlation with Amp of P300. There is no significantly sex difference in healthy people. Conclusion There is influence of age on auditory P300. The PL is increased and the Amp is decreased with aging.

Objective To compare the efficacy of liposuction and open surgery for patients with accessory breast.MethodsA total of 73 patients with accessory breast,who were treated in our hospital from June 2000 to December 2007,were enrolled in this study and divided into open surgery(June 2000 to June 2004,43 patients with accessory breast at 80 sides)and liposuction(April 2004 to December 2007,30 cases with accessory breast at 58 sides)groups.The outcomes of the patients,operation time,and intraoperative blood loss in the two groups were compared.Results The curative rate of the both groups were 100%.However,the open surgery group had more blood loss [(49.6?13.3)ml vs(28.9?6.9)ml,t=10.836,P=0.000] and longer operation time[(57.4?11.1)min vs(27.3?4.3)min,t=19.597,P=0.000].Conclusions Compared with open surgery,liposuction leads to quicker recovery and less trauma without leaving scars,and thus is more acceptable to the patients.

Objective To observe the effects ofLinggan Wuwei Jiangxin Decoction on contents of cAMP, cAMP dependent PKA and AQP5 of model rats with clod phlegm-fluid lying latent in the lung asthma;To discuss its mechanism.Methods Ovalbumin intraperitoneal injection and atomization motivation + cold stimulation were used to establish models. Ninety rats were randomly divided into blank control group, model group, hexadecadrol group, andLinggan Wuwei Jiangxin Decoction low-, medium-, high-dose groups. All administration groups were treated with relevant medicine. The levels of cAMP, PKA, and AQP5 were detected by ELISA.Results Compared with the blank control group, the levels of cAMP, PKA, and AQP5 of rats in model group decreased obviously (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the levels of cAMP, PKA, and AQP5 of rats in all administration groups increased (P<0.05), which increased dramatically inLinggan Wuwei Jiangxin Decoction high-dose group.ConclusionLinggan Wuwei Jiangxin Decoction can regulate the normal secretion of cAMP, PKA, and AQP5 in serum of rats with clod phlegm-fluid lying latent in the lung asthma, increase secretion of air passage liquid and decrease mucoprotein concentration, through which plays the role of treating asthma.

Objective To explore the value of contrast-enhanced FLAIR imaging in diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastasis.Methods 23 cases of leptomeningeal metastasis with definite primitive-tumour were collected.All the cases were confirmed by clinic and laborotary examination.Of the 23 cases,7 cases underwent contrast-enhanced T1WI only,16 case underwent contrast-enhanced T1WI and FLAIR.Two groups were analyzed comparatively in diagnostic accuracy and displaying lesions between images of two sequence.Results(1)2 cases were missed,and 1 case was unsure diagnosed in T1WI contrast group;16 cases were all diagnosed accurately in both T1WI and FLAIR contrast-enhanced group.(2)11 cases with fine linear enhancement and 7 cases with small nodular enhancement were more obviously on contrast-enhanced FLAIR than that on contrast T1WI,but the thick linear enhancement were equal on two sequence.4 cases with more lesions were displayed on contrast-enhanced FLAIR images.The signal intensity on contrast FLAIR images were higher than that on contrast T1WI images at the same lesions.Conclusion Contrast-enhanced FLAIR has important value in diagnosing leptomeningeal metastasis.

Objective To investigate the effect of operation timing on patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis underwent valve replacement during perioperative period.Methods Retrospective analysis were performed on 122 cases diagnosed as rheumatic mitral stenosis (mitral stenosis,MS) underwent valve replacement,during January 2012 through December 2013 in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery,General Hospital of Shenyang military region.According to the mitral valve area (mitral valve area,MVA) measured by echocardiography before operation,patients were respectively divided into three groups,mild stenosis (> 1.5 cm2),moderate stenosis (1.0 ~ 1.5 cm2),and severe stenosis (< 1.0 cm2).Through the single factor and multi-factor logistic regression analysis on all clinical data collected from patients,the effects of operation timing on patients were confirmed in perioperative period in each group.Results The results were satisfied in the group.Heart function was significantly raised compared to that before surgery,and the life quality of the patients was improved.Two cases died during hospitalization,New York Heart Association Functional Class (NYHA) reached between Ⅰ ~ Ⅱ,Ⅱ,perhaps Ⅰ for survival.Single factor analysis showed that the pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (pulmonary arterial systolic pressure,PASP),left ventricular end diastolic volume,mitral valve area,cardiothoracic ratio,intensive care unit (ICU) staying,ventilator-assistant during hospitalization were influence factors on surgical opportunity of patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis and perioperative outcomes.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pulmonary artery pressure and mitral valve orifice area were the independent influence factors on surgical timing by collecting perioperative outcomes in the groups.Conclusions Mitral valve replacement (mitral valve replacement,MVR) is an effective method in the treatment of rheumatic mitral stenosis.Timely operation can improve the prognosis of patients in the perioperative period,and help to improve the quality of life.Early treatment should be an important factor affecting the perioperative prognosis.Timely operation,early treatment may improve the patient's survival during perioperative period.
