Objective To investigate the effects of long-and mid-term indwelling AO clavicular hook plate (CHP) on the shoulder function following surgery for acromioclavicular dislocation(from grade Ⅲ to grade Ⅴ by Rockwood's classification).Methods A retrospective study was done of 95 patients with acromioclavicular dislocation who had been fixed with AO CHP from December 2002 to May 2011.They were 80 men and 15 women,aged from 20 to 63 years (average,45.0 years).By the Rockwood's classification,there were 40 cases of type Ⅲ,35 ones of type Ⅳ and 20 ones of type Ⅴ.Time from injury to surgery ranged from 2 to 7 days (average,4.6 days).The CHP was indwelling in 70 patients but removed in 25 patients from 12 to 23 mouths post-surgery (average,16.5 months).The University of California (UCLA) shoulder scoring system was used to compare the shoulder functions between those with an indwelling CHP and those without,as well as between the healthy and affected shoulders among those with an indwelling plate.Results The follow-up time for all the 95 cases ranged from 7.5 months to 9 years,with an average of 38 months.Of those with an indwelling CHP,subacromial bone erosion occurred in 45,internal implant failure in 3,impingement in 13,screw loosening in 2 and frozen shoulder in 5,giving a complication rate of 97.1％ (68/70).Of those without an indwelling CHP,subacromial bone erosion occurred in 3 and no redislocation was found in this group,giving a complication rate of 12.0％ (3/25).The UCLA score for the affected shoulder among those with an indwelling CHP(27.0 ± 11.0 points) was lower than that for the healthy one (34.0 ± 1.0 points) and lower than that for the affected shoulder among those without an indwelling CHP(32.0 ± 6.5 points).Conclusion Long-and mid-term indwelling AO CHP can have a significant adverse impact on shoulder function,leading to a very high rate of postoperative complications.

Objective: To investigate the marriage quality of the couples with primary male infertility in order to provide consulting for them.Methods: 37 patients with male infertility and their mates were rated by Olson questionnaire.Results: ①Compared with other married couples,the scores of satisfaction degree of marriage,communication between couples and sexual life of the couples with male infertility are higher and the mates of these patients have higher scores than those of married female in the factors of resolving conflicts,extracurricular activities,relationship with relatives and friends.②The marriage quality between the patients with male infertility and the new wedding males has no difference,and the scores of the extracurricular activities of the wives of the patients with male infertility were higher than those of the new wedding wives,and the scores of the economic arrangement were significantly lower in the patients' wives.Conclusion: Male infertility has no obvious influence on marriage quality.

For a matured digestive surgeon,pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is regarded as one of the most complicated and technically challenging surgical procedure.Based on the accurate interpretation of patient's preoperative imageologic data,we advocate a novel procedure which is called as G-path pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (G-path PPPD).We deen G-path PPPD as a standardized procedure for resectable pancreatic head cancer or periampullary carcinoma,which definitely simplify the procedure,save the operative time,achieve R0 resection through en-bloc resection without interruptedly intraoperative exploration and reduce the risk of iatrogenic tumor metastasis.This article introduced the program of G-path PPPD in detail by taking a patient as an example who suffered from pancreatic head cancer accompanied with obstructive jaundice,and discussed the relevant points.

Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of non-insufflation intra-abdominal compression as a prehospital hemostatic technique in treatment of liver injury.Methods Twenty-nine male Wistar rats were enrolled and randomly assigned into four experimental groups:IAP0 group ( n =8 ),IAP5 group (n =8),IAP10 group (n =8) and IAP15 group (n =5).Then,the anticoagulated rat models of severe liver injury were established with different intra-abdominal pressures ( 0,5,10 and 15 mm Hg) by using a non-expansible insufflated gas bag.Once the mean artery pressure (MAP) was less than 95 mm Hg,Lactated Ringer' s solution was infused through the right jugular vein at speed of 3.3 ml · min-1 · kg-1 until MAP reached 100 mm Hg.Thirty minutes later,the animals were killed by intravenous injection of 0.2 ml saturated potassium chloride solution to measure the intraperitoneal total blood loss,liver weight,volume of infused solution and MAP.Results No death was observed in IAP0,lAP5 and IAP10 groups and four rats (4/5) died at 10-15 minutes following exposure to the 15 mm Hg intra-abdominal pressure in IAP15 group.Total blood loss was reduced to ( 54.20 ±11.30)ml/kg in IAP0 group,(43.98 ±9.2) ml/kg in IAP5 group,(32.49 ±7.40) ml/kg in IAP10group and (25.77 ± 14.16) ml/kg in IAP15group ( P ＜0.01 ).The infused volume of resuscitation solution was (31.06 ± 3.14) ml in IAP10 group,which was higher than (24.94 ±6.67) ml in IAP0 group,(23.06 ± 7.98) ml in IAP5 group and (16.50 ±7.27) ml in IAP15 group (P ＜0.05).Liver weight was ( 11.18 ± 1.45) g in IAP5 group,( 12.13 ± 0.96) g in IAP10 group and ( 11.41 ± 1.20) g in IAP15 group,which was significantly higher than (10.03 ±0.58) g in IAP0 group (P＜0.05).The MAP was (64.81 ± 19.65) mm Hg in IAP5 group and (65.80 ± 15.36) mm Hg in IAP10 group ( insignificant difference between groups,P ＞ 0.05 ),which was higher than (41.22 ± 10.00) mm Hg in IAP0 group and (44.50 ±28.60) mm Hg in IAP15 group (P ＜0.05).Conclusions Non-pneumatic intra-abdominal compression can effectively control bleeding in rat models of severe liver injury,while the adverse effect of intra-abdominal hypertension should be avoided.

Objective To summarize the initial experience in adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation(ALDLT),so as to improve the efficacy of ALDLT.Methods The clinical data of 31 adult patients who undelwent ALDLT from June 2006 to February 2008 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of all the patients,8 was with decompensated cirrhosis,7 with acute liver failure,12 with hepatocellular carcinoma,2 with purpura of liver,1 with hilar cholangiocarcinoma,and 1 with Wilson disease.The liver grafts included 25 right lobes with middle hepatic vein(MHV),3 right lobes without MHV,1 right lobe with MHV+left lateral lobe,1 right lobe with MHV+left lobe.The remaining 1 patient underwent auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation with left lobe graft.Six post-transplantation complications occurred in 5 donors. Eleven post-transplantation complications occurred in 9 recipients,including 4 biliary complications,3 vascular complications,3 infection complications and 1 delayed healing of the incision.After ALDLT,2 recipients died of pulmonary infection and 1 of multiple aspergillus infection. Conclusions ALDLT has become an effective method to expand the source of liver grafts.Rational donor and recipient assessment,surgical procedure and postoperative management are key to ALDLT.

Objective:To study the clinical value of artificial dermis combined with autologous thin skin graft in the repair of burn scar contracture in joints.Methods:A total of 52 patients with burn scar contractures were enrolled in the No.5 Hospital of Baoding from July 2015 to April 2018. According to different methods of repair, 26 cases were used in each group. The observation group was treated with artificial dermis combined with autologous thin skin graft. The control group was treated with medium-thickness skin grafting. The survival rate of autologous skin was compared between the two groups. The tissue of artificial dermal polyester fiber was taken and HE staining was performed to observe the pathological changes. The Vancouver skin scar assessment score (VSS), functional activity, infection rate, wound healing time, and VSS score after healing of the donor site were compared between the two groups.Results:The survival rate of autologous skin in the observation group (92.31%) was not significantly different from that in the control group (84.62%) ( P>0.05). Compared with preoperative, the VSS scores at 3, 6 months and 1 year after operation in both groups were decreased ( P<0.05). The VSS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group at 3, 6 months and 1 year ( P<0.05). The excellent rate of functional activity in the observation group (100.00%) was higher than that of the control group (76.92%) ( P<0.05); There was no significant difference in the infection rate (3.85% vs 7.69%) and healing time of skin grafting area between the two groups ( P>0.05). The healing time of donor site was shorter than that of the control group ( P<0.05). The VSS score of the donor site was lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Artificial dermis combined with autologous thin skin graft can be used in patients with burn scar contracture in joints, which can improve the scarring of skin grafting area and donor site, shorten the healing time of donor site and improve the function of burn scar contracture joint.

Objective To screen the splicing isoforms of estrogen receptor βin the Beagle hypothalamic -pituitary -gonadal axis.Methods For ERβmRNA CDS sequence of eight exons, primers were designed confined to the CDS sequences of two sequential exons.Beagle hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary and uterus tissue cDNA were used as template, and corresponding sequences were amplified by PCR.PCR products were sequenced and aligned in the NCBI web site.The correct gene was then analyzed with DNAMAN comparative analysis software and handwork checking up, thus got the ERβsplicing isoforms of Beagle. Results Four beagle ER beta splicing isomers were obtained:exon 4 complete skipping ER βisomer (300 bp missing), two kind of Beagle ERβisoforms with partial exon 4 and partial exon 5 complicated missing (isoformⅠ334 bp missing and isoformⅡ265 bp missing), and exon 7 complete missing ERβsplicing isoforms (181 bp missing).Exon 4 complete skipping and exon 7 complete missing isomers had been obtained full length coding sequence, and the other two splicing isomers were partial coding sequence.Conclusion This project gained four ERβsplicing isomers of Beagle, and that will lay an important foundation for further study of their roles in the Beagle reproductive regulation mechanism.

To observe the efficacy and safety of apatinib in the treatment of advanced bone and soft tissue sarcoma, and to analyze the possible related factors affecting the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients. Methods: Twenty-one patients with ad-vanced bone and soft tissue sarcoma admitted to the Department of Orthopaedics, Yunnan Cancer Hospital from June 2017 to Sep-tember 2018, were treated with apatinib tablets. The main efficacy index was progression free survival (PFS), and the secondary effica-cy index was overall survival (OS). Clinical efficacy was evaluated according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1, and overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety were olserved according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) 4.0 standard. Results: All of the 21 patients were followed up. At the last follow-up time point, March 31st, 2019, there were no CR, 2 patients (9.5%) with PR, 7 patients with SD (33.3%), and 12 patients with PD (57.1%). The ORR was 9.5%, the DCR was 42.8%, the medi-an PFS was 8 months, and the median OS was 14 months. The patient's gender, age, ECOG score, tissue source, surgery, or chemother-apy had no statistically significant effect on PFS (P>0.05). Only the history of radiotherapy before taking apatinib was a factor for pa-tients with PFS. The effect was statistically significant (P<0.05), and patients with a history of radiotherapy had a lower PFS than pa-tients without a history of radiotherapy. The adverse reactions of gradeⅢand above had hand-foot syndrome (14.3%), pneumotho-rax (14.3%) and anemia (4.8%). Conclusions: Apatinib has a certain effect for advanced bone and soft tissue sarcoma. The adverse re-actions are generally predictable, controllable and reversible. Apatinib can be a choice for patients with advanced bone and soft tissue sarcoma with good treatment adherence and no other treatment options.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of intra-operative implantation of 125Ⅰ particles to treat advanced pancreatic cancer,and to evaluate the treatment effects on pain relief and survival of patients.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 53 patients who were treated in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from May 2013 to November 2016.The patients were divided into the particle implantation group (n =32,palliative operation combined with intra-operative implantation of 125Ⅰ particles or just intra-operative implantation) and the control group (n =21,palliative operation).The outcomes on pain relief and median survival after operation were compared between the 2 groups.Results Patients in the implantation group were implanted with 20 to 70 (41.4± 12.1) particles.There were no postoperative complications such as pancreatic fistula and bleeding.There was also no perioperative death.Of the 46(86.8％) patients who were followed-up,three patients were still alive at the time the data were analyzed.The postoperative survival time of the patients ranged from 3 to 27 months.For the implantation group,the median survival time was 11.5 months.The 3-,6-,12-,24-months survival rates were 100.0％,90.6％,65.6％,15.6％,respectively.Postoperative pain relief happened in 92.6％ of patients.For the control group,postoperative survival time ranged from 2 to 17 months.The median survival time was 7 months.The 3-,6-,12-,24-months survival rates were 95.2％,57.1％,9.5％,0,respectively.Postoperative pain relief happened in 16.7％ of patients.Postoperative pain relief for patients in the implantation group was significantly better than the preoperative,and than patients in the control group (both P ＜ 0.05).The Log-rank test showed a significant difference in survival between the two groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Particle implantation significantly relieved pain and prolonged survival time of the patients.

E2F-1 and p53 are sequence specific transcription factors that are intimately involved in the regulation of the cell cycle. In addition to their role in cell cycle control, both E2F-1 and p53 have been identified as tumor suppressors and mediators of apoptosis. We have shown previously that adenoviral-mediated E2F-1 overexpression induces efficient apoptosis in colon adenocarcinoma cells. Previous reports have suggested that E2F-1 and p53 cooperate to mediate apoptosis and therefore, in this study, we examined the efficacy of combination gene therapy using adenovirus vectors expressing E2F-1 and p53 in human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines, HT-29 and SW620 (both mutant p53). Cells were treated by mock infection or infection with adenoviral vectors expressing b-galactosidase (LacZ), E2F-1, p53 or a combination of E2F-1 and p53. IC25 concentrations of each virus were estimated and used for each treatment in order to detect any synergistic or cooperative effects on tumor cell death in the combination therapy. By 5 days post infection, E2F-1-overexpressing cells exhibited growth inhibition and approximately 40-50% cell death in both cell lines. Co-expression of p53 with E2F-1 abrogated E2F-1-mediated growth inhibition and cell death. Cell cycle analysis revealed that overexpression of E2F-1 resulted in an accumulation of cells in G2/M phase, while overexpression of p53 resulted in a G1 phase accumulation. However, co-expression of E2F-1 and p53 counteracted each other as fewer cells accumulated in G1 and G2/M when compared to either p53 or E2F-1 alone. Furthermore, co-expression of p53 with E2F-1 resulted in decreased levels of E2F-1 protein expression. Mechanistically, upregulation of the CDK inhibitory protein, p21(WAF1/CIP1), was demonstrated in HT-29 cells following overexpression of either E2F-1, p53 or the combination E2F-1/p53 therapy. However, in SW620 cells, only the cells infected with Ad-p53 alone or in combination resulted in upregulation of p21(WAF1/CIP1). These results suggest that p53 and p21(WAF1/CIP1) may cooperate to inhibit the expression and activity of E2F-1. In conclusion, combination adenoviral vector-mediated E2F-1 and p53 gene transfer was not therapeutically advantageous in this in vitro model of human colon adenocarcinoma.
