BACKGROUND:The sodium alginate film, jointly developed by our research team and the Institute of Polymer Material of Qingdao University, has good biocompatibility and is often used for the preparation of a variety of composite materials. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of sodium alginate film wrapping and covering nerve anastomotic stoma on the regeneration of injured sciatic nerve in rats. METHODS: A total of 36 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups after the right sciatic nerve was cut. Control group: The nerve stump was sutured through epineurial end-to-end anastomosis; Experimental group: The nerve stump was sutured through epineurial end-to-end anastomosis, and wrapped with sodium alginate film, forming a regenerative environment for sciatic nerve regeneration. The degradation and absorption of sodium alginate film, as wel as the adhesion at suture site were observed post-operation. Interleukin-2 and interleukin-4 positive expression was detected with immunohistochemistry method. The histological sections were also detected with hematoxylin-eosin staining and osmium tetroxide staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 4-6 weeks post-operation, sodium alginate film was mostly degraded and absorbed in the experimental group. The experimental group rats had less local adhesion, slighter infiltration of inflammatory cels, and fewer fiber tissue hyperplasia than control group rats. The contents of interleukin-2 and interleukin-4 were almost the same between the control and experimental groups at 1, 7, 14 days post-operation. At 6 weeks, the regenerated nerve fibers were distributed evenly with uniform shape, the number of nerve fibers, axons and myelin sheath were significantly better than the control group (P < 0.05). Sodium alginate film has good biological degradability and histocompatibility and plays an important role in promoting sciatic nerve regeneration.

Objective To observe the changes of A20 in mesangial cells of diabetic nephropathy (DN) rat model in?duced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-rat, and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods (1)Thirty health male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two group. Model rats were given streptozotocin (STZ) at a dose of 60 mg/kg by intraperitoneal in?jection. Rats in the control group received the same volume of citrate buffer in the same way. Levels of blood glucose and uri?nary microalbumin were detected in two groups at the 6th and the 8th week. Changes of renal pathology were observed by HE staining. Changes of protein A20 were observed by immunohistochemistry. (2) Expression changes of gene and proteins A20, nuclear factor (NF)-κB, IκB, IKKγand MCP-1 in renal cells treated with LPS were determined after treatment with different time points (0, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h) and different concentrations (0.1, 1 and 10μg/L). Results (1) Levels of blood glucose and urinary microalbumin were significantly increased in model group compared with those of control group ( P <0.01). HE stainig showed that hyaline degeneration in tubular epithelial cells was found in model group, especially at the 8th week. Results of immunohistochemistry showed that expression of protein A20 significantly decreased in kidney tubules and nearly disappeared in glomerulus in model group compared with that of control group, which expressed less at the 8th week. (2) There was no significant difference in the expression of IKKγbetween different concentrations and different times. Com?pared with 0 h, the expression of A20 protein was increased at 2 h and 4 h, except that the expression of A20 protein in?creased after 6 h (P<0.05). Meanwhile NF-κB expression increased and IκB expression decreased in different time points (P<0.05). In addition, the expressions of A20 and IκB were decreased concentration-dependently (P<0.05). The expres?sion levels of NF-κB and MCP-1 were increased concentration-dependently (P<0.05). Conclusion A20 may involve in the development of diabetic nephropathy by regulating the NF-κB pathway.

Objective To determine the effects of non-thermal biological effect of low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (LFPEF) with 15 Hz and 30 mT on ulcer wound during the plateau stress ulcer cure.Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to three equal groups:control,normal cure group (NC) and exposure treatment groups (ET).The plateau rats stress ulcer models were constructed with the combination method of a hypoxic and low-pressure acclimation and the stimulation of absolute ethyl alcohol irrigating stomach.The LFPEF equipment generated the LFPEF of 15 Hz,40％ duty cycle and 30 mT to expose and treat the rats' stomach of ET group with the frequency of 3 hours each day.After 6 days of exposure treatment,the stress ulcer cure situation of each group was evaluated by the methods of macroscopic observation,the gastric juice pH values detection and ulcer index (UI) measurement.Results After 6 days of model,the macroscopic observation showed that the ulcer of NC group was worse than the that of ET group (P＜0.05).The pH values and UI of ET group were significantly different with those of NC group,and closed to those of the control group.Conclusion The nonthermal biological effect of LFPEF could promote the plateau stress ulcer cure.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, treatment and prognosis of duodenal-type follicular lymphoma. Methods: Four cases of duodenal-type follicular lymphoma diagnosed at Guangdong General Hospital from 2014 to 2015 with detailed clinical data were included. The histomorphology, immunophenotype, treatment and prognoses were analyzed. Results: The patients′ age ranged from 51 to 57 years (mean 54 years), and there were 2 males and 2 females. The involved sites were gastric fundus in one case, second portion of the duodenum in two cases and terminal ileum in one case. All patients presented with multiple mucosal granules or nodules at endoscopy. Microscopically, there were multiple mucosal neoplastic follicles, constituting grade 1-2 disease based on nodal follicular lymphoma grading system. The tumor cells were positive for CD20, CD10, bcl-6 and bcl-2. CD21 highlighted the follicular dendritic meshwork mainly at the periphery of the follicles. Proliferation index was low. Three patients received rituximab monotherapy for 4 cycles, leading to complete remission. One patient refused therapy and the disease progressed to systemic lymphoma 15 months after the initial diagnosis. Conclusions Duodenal-type follicular lymphoma is a special variant of follicular lymphoma with indolent clinical course. The tumor exhibits morphology of low grade follicular lymphoma with characteristic dendritic meshwork at the periphery of the follicles and a low proliferation index. Prognosis is excellent. Rituximab monotherapy is treatment of choice, but a small minority of patients may progress to systemic disease.

As a pandemic metabolic disease, obesity has become a worldwide problem, which endangering human health. The change in body weight reflects the energy imbalance. And the homeostasis regulation of the central and peripheral melanocortin system may maintain the energy balance and then affect the body weight. Recent studies have found that melanocortin receptor-4 ( MC4R) plays an important role in energy homeostasis and body weight changes, but its specific mechanism needs further elucidation. In this paper, we reviewed the research progress of MC4R in body weight and energy regulation, so as to provide a theoretical basis for further exploring the potential role of MC4R in improving energy metabolism imbalance and obesity.

Objective To understand the HPV vaccination situation in the vaccination clinic of Shaanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and to guide the rational use of the vaccine. Methods The vaccination information and the information on HPV vaccine inoculated subjects in the clinic of Shaanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2018 to 2019 were analyzed. Results A total of 5 714 HPV vaccination subjects were analyzed, among which the largest proportion (48.97%) was in the 20-26.5 years old group, and the smallest proportion (1.12%) was in the 9-15 years old group. The 9-valent HPV vaccination accounted for 98.72% of the 20-26.5-year-old group. There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of vaccination populations between the bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines (P＜0.01，χ²=252.85), and between the bivalent and 9-valent HPV vaccines (P＜0.01，χ²=258.15). The vaccination rate of the bivalent HPV vaccine was 88.25% (894/1 013), and the vaccination rate of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine was 94.43% (1 915/2 028). The difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.02, P=0.043). Conclusion Vaccination subjects tend to choose high-valent HPV vaccines, and the proportion of HPV vaccination in the younger age group is seriously insufficient. Both bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines have relatively high overall vaccination rates. The next step should be to strengthen the vaccination publicity for younger age groups.
