OBJECTIVE: To determine the inhibitory effect of EGCG on the Lewis Lung Cancer Model, to compare and preliminary to discuss the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of EGCG on the proliferation of A549 cell line and Calu-3 cell line. METHODS: Observed the inhibitory effect of EGCG on Lewis Lung Cancer in vivo. Compared the inhibitory effect of different dosages of EGCG on Calu-3 and A549 cell lines with WST-8 assay. Observed the opoptosis promotional effect of EGCG on Calu-3 cells. Compared the inhibitory effect of different dosage of EGCG on Calu-3 and A549 cell lines in PI cell number counting assay. RESULTS: EGCG inhibited the proliferation of Lewis Lung Cancer in vivo. Results of WST-8 assay showed that EGCG inhibited the proliferation of Calu-3 cell line in dose-dependent manner. However, A549 cell line showed sign of drug-resistance to EGCG. The inhibitory effect of EGCG on the proliferation of Calu-3 cell line through increasing apoptosis was observed with TUNEL assay. Cell number of Calu-3 was obviously decreased by treating of EGCG, but was not changed in A549 cell line. CONCLUSION: EGCG inhibited proliferation of Lewis Lung Cacer in vivo, and inhibited proliferation of Calu-3 cell line but didn't play the inhibitory role on A549 cell line in vitro.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of hyperuricemia among adults in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, so as to provide insights into the prevention and intervention of hyperuricemia. Methods: Permanent residents at ages of 18 years and above in 8 counties (cities, districts) of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were sampled using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method from July 2018 to November. Demographic data, smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index and serum uric acid were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examination and laboratory testing. Factors affecting hyperuricemia were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 4 690 residents were collected, including 2 093 males (44.63%) and 2 597 females (55.37%), and had a mean age of (49.45±14.57) years. There were 1 795 overweight residents (38.27%), 1 198 residents with obesity (25.54%), 983 smokers (20.96%), 1 224 drinkers (26.10%), and 268 residents with hyperuricemia (5.71%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that a higher risk of hyperuricemia was seen among adults who were males (OR=1.409, 95%CI: 1.036-1.917), aged 60 years and above (OR=2.092, 95%CI: 1.495-2.928), had high school education or above (high school, OR=2.003, 95%CI: 1.366-2.937; college and above, OR=4.876, 95%CI: 3.196-7.438), were overweight (OR=2.343, 95%CI: 1.618-3.395) or obese (OR=4.754, 95%CI: 3.291-6.868) and had alcohol consumption (OR=1.494, 95%CI: 1.104-2.020). Conclusion The risk of hyperuricemia may be associated to gender, age, educational level, body mass index and alcohol consumption among adults in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

OBJECTIVETo find out the distribution of noniodized salt and related affecting factors in Xinjiang.

METHODUsing NTTST's iodized salt inspection Plan.

RESULTSA total number of 17 973 house holds being surveyed in which 69.4% of those used iodized salt and 30.5% used noniodizd salt. In northern Xinjiang, 7 672 households being surveyed in which 83.9% used iodized salt while in eastern Xinjiang 1 200 house holds being surveyed in which 62.2% used iodized salt. In southern Xinjiang, 9 101 house holds being surveyed in which 58.2% used iodized salt. Data showed a statistically significant difference (chi(2) = 1 329.87, P < 0.01). The noniodized salt comes from shop-on-wheels (57.4%) and rock salt (23.0%). The source of iodine was different in different areas. In eastern and southern Xinjiang it came from shop-on-wheels, while in northern Xinjiang came from retail sites. Factors related to the use of iodized salt were awareness about iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) and income.

CONCLUSIONPrograms on fighting against iodine deficiency in Xinjiang needs more attention, especially in the following aspects as publicity on IDD, administration of salt market and supervision system.

OBJECTIVETo explore the therapeutic effect of osteogenically induced adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) on vascular deprivation-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in rabbit model.

METHODSVascular deprivation-induced ONFH was established by intramuscular injection of methylpre- dnisolone, and vascular occlusion of the capital femoral epiphysis by electrocoagulation in adult New Zealand white rabbits. Eight weeks after the establishment of vascular deprivation-induced ONFH, animals were randomly divided into three equal groups. In Group A (control), no therapy was given. In Group B, core decompression was performed by drilling a hole (1.2 mm in diameter) from the outer cortex 2.5 cm distal to the proximal end of the greater trochanter. In Group C, 1 multiply 10(7) osteogenically induced ADSCs were resuspended in 0.5 ml PBS, and then injected directly into the femoral head. Femoral head specimens were obtained at postoperative 8 weeks. The bone formation and three-dimensional microstructure of the femoral head was evaluated by micro-computed tomography scans. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to detect the expression of osteocalcin. Angiogenesis and repair of the femoral head were observed histologically.

RESULTSIn trabecular bone at the proximal femur region, the trabecular volume was higher in Group C (130.70 mm(3)+/-4.33 mm(3)) than that in Groups A (101.07 mm(3)+/-7.76 mm(3)) and B (107.89 mm(3)+/-8.68 mm(3), P less than 0.01). Bone volume was significantly increased in Group C (40.09 mm(3)+/-6.35 mm(3)) than in Groups A (29.65 mm(3)+/-4.61 mm(3)) and B (31.80 mm(3)+/-4.01 mm(3), P less than 0.01). The trabecular number was higher in Groups C (1.58+/-0.25) than other two groups (1.15+/-0.18, 1.16+/-0.21, P less than 0.01). Bone mineral density showed statistically significant difference between Groups C and A or B (375.38+/-23.06) mg HA/ccm, vs (313.73+/-19.30) mg HA/ccm and (316.09+/-16.45) mg HA/ccm, P less than 0.01). Histological examination indicated that there was more new bone formation in Group C than in other groups.

CONCLUSIONTreatment with autologous osteogeni-cally induced ADSCs transplantation results in an enhanced osteogenesis and microstructure of the vascular deprivation-induced osteonecrosis in rabbits.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), D-dimer, residual lipoprotein cholesterol (RLP-C) levels and the occurrence and severity of acute myocardial infarction in young adults.Methods:A total of 96 young patients with acute myocardial infarction who visited the First People′s Hospital of Kashgar from June 2020 to June 2022 were retrospectively selected as the observation group, and 100 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examinations at our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. The serum NLR, D-dimer, and RLP-C levels of the two groups of patients were compared. Coronary angiography was performed on the patients, and the observation group patients were divided into mild stenosis, moderate stenosis, and severe stenosis subgroups based on their Gensini scores. The serum NLR, D-dimer, and RLP-C levels of patients in different subgroups were recorded and compared. Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between serum NLR, D-dimer, and RLP-C levels and patients′ Gensini scores. The diagnostic value of NLR, D-dimer, and RLP-C levels in young patients with acute myocardial infarction and severe coronary artery stenosis was explored using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.Results:The levels of NLR, D-dimer, and RLP-C in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction in young patients with NLR, D-dimer, and RLP-C were 0.942, 0.865, and 0.970, respectively (all P<0.05). The levels of NLR, D-dimer, and RLP-C in patients with severe stenosis were higher than those in patients with mild to moderate stenosis (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the levels of NLR, D-dimer, RLP-C in young patients with acute myocardial infarction were positively correlated with Gensini score ( r=0.806, 0.843, 0.851, all P<0.001). The ROC curve analysis results showed that the AUC values of NLR, D-dimer, and RLP-C levels for diagnosing severe coronary artery stenosis in young patients with acute myocardial infarction were 0.915, 0.874, and 0.922, respectively (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The levels of NLR, D-dimer, and RLP-C are elevated in young patients with acute myocardial infarction, and are positively correlated with the severity of the disease. Clinical attention should be closely monitored.

Objective:To investigates the clinical efficacy of the trabecular metal acetabular revision system (TMARS) in one-stage reconstruction of acetabular deficiencies associated with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI).Methods:This is a retrospective case series study,including the data of 59 patients with PJI underwent acetabular defect reconstruction by TMARS during one-stage revisions in the Department of Orthopaedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2013 to December 2021. There were 32 males and 27 females, aged (59.5±14.6) years (range: 26 to 84 years). Among them, 29 cases used tantalum cups, 13 cases used tantalum cups and tantalum reinforcing blocks, 9 cases used cup-cage, and 8 cases used multi-cup reconstruction techniques. The surgery procedure, Harris Hip score (HHS), recovery of the hip rotation center, implant survival rate, postoperative reinfection rate, and complications were recorded. Data were compared using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test.Results:All of the 59 patients underwent the operations successfully. Operation time was (188.9±48.4) minutes (range: 110 to 340 minutes), and intraoperative bleeding volume was ( M(IQR)) 1 000(400)ml (range: 600 to 1 800 ml). After a postoperative follow-up of 5.1 (2.6) years (range: 2.0 to 10.5 years), the prosthesis survival rate was 94.9% (56/59). Recurrence of infection occurred in 3 cases (5.1%), aseptic loosening in 1case(1.7%), and hip dislocation in 4 cases (6.8%). At the last follow-up, HHS improved significantly(84 (12) vs. 44 (9), Z=-6.671, P<0.01), and the center of rotation of the hips were recovered in all cases. Conclusions:In one-stage revision surgeries aimed at reconstructing acetabular defects, utilizing the TMARS can provide stable initial fixation, restore a more natural center of rotation, significantly enhance early postoperative hip joint function, and reduce the likelihood of infection recurrence. This approach stands as a reliable choice for addressing acetabular defects during revision surgeries for infected hip joints.
