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 investigate the effect of RNA interference (RNAi) targeting AKT1 and PI3K P85 on the proliferation and invasion of breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells. Methods: The recombinant adenovirus expression vector, which contained short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting open reading frames of AKT1 and PI3K P85 (rAd5-siAKT1-siPI3K), was transfected into human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells. AKT1 and PI3K P85 mRNA and protein expressions were detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting analysis. The expressions of PCNA, cyclinD1, and P53 were also detected by Western blotting analysis. The proliferation and apoptosis of MCF-7 cells were measured by MTT, flow cytometry and 2-dementinal and 3-dementional matrigel assay. Results: Recombinant adenovirus vector rAd5-siAKT1-siPI3K dramatically down-regulated AKT1 and PI3K P85 mRNA and protein expressions in MCF-7 cells; the downstream factors PCNA and cyclin D1 were also down-regulated, while P53 was up-regulated. Growth of MCF-7 cells was inhibited by over 50% in rAd5-siAKT1-siPI3K group as measured by MTT assay, and cell cycle was arrested in G_1/G_0 phase compared with untransfected and rAd5-siCtrl transfected groups. Cell growth on matrigel matrix showed normal cell shapes, while the cells in rAd5-siAKT1-siPI3K transfected group were detached from the matrix or grew in scattered clustering patterns, forming only small aggregates. Conclusion: shRNA targeting AKT1 and PI3K P85 can significantly down-regulate the expression of AKT1 and PI3K P85 in breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells, and inhibit the growth of MCF-7 cells in vitro.

Objective:To summarize the characteristics of autosomal recessive axonal neuropathy with neuromyotonia (ARAN-NM) caused by HINT1 gene mutation. Methods:Retrospective case summary.Clinical data of 2 Tibetan siblings diagnosed with ARAN-NM in the Department of Pediatrics of Peking University First Hospital in August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.A review of literature reporting relevant Chinese patients was conducted.Results:The proband and her elder brother were aged 13 and 19, respectively.Both developed abnormal gait at the age of 11, followed by varus, claudication, and weak thumb strength.The proband also had neuromyotonia.Physical examinations showed that the proband and her elder brother had decreased muscle strength of the extremities, mainly in the thumbs and distal ends of lower limbs.The distal muscles of the proband′s lower extremities and the muscles of both hands of the proband′s elder brother were atrophied.Both feet showed talipes equinovarus in the proband and her elder brother.The proband′s electromyography (EMG) showed peripheral nerve injuries (motor and sensory axonal involvement, especially in distal ends) and myotonic potentials.The trio-whole exon sequencing detected homozygous pathogenic variation in HINT1 gene in both the proband and her elder brother, who were diagnosed as ARAN-NM based on c. 169A>G (p.K57E). After the Carbamazepine treatment, the proband′s neuromyotonia, numbness and weakness were relieved.Both the proband and her elder brother underwent orthopaedic surgery and rehabilitation.Their foot deformities and gait were significantly improved.Two Chinese literatures (2 patients) and four English literatures (8 patients) were retrieved.Including the proband and her elder brother in this study, there were 12 ARAN-NM patients, 10 of whom had clinical data.The ages of onset and diagnosis were 2-16 (1 case unknown) and 13-33 years old, respectively.Myasthenia was present in 9 patients, especially in distal ends.Eight patients were complicated with neuromyotonia, nine patients with muscle atrophy, seven patients with foot deformity, and two patients with sensory disturbance.Creatine kinase(CK) was elevated in all 9 patients tested or CK.EMG showed neurogenic injuries in all patients and neuromyotonia discharge in six patients.Three patients were treated with Carbamazepine, and some symptoms were relieved.Missense/nonsense mutations were found in the 12 patients, and the high-frequency variation was c. 112T>C (p.C38R). Conclusions:ARAN-NM is a rare autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease caused by HINT1 gene mutation.There is no ethnic difference in clinical manifestations, mainly distal limb weakness with neuromyotonia.Carbamazepine can alleviate some symptoms, and orthopaedic surgery can improve foot deformity and gait.
