Objective    To evaluate the clinical value of three-dimensional (3D) printing model in accurate and minimally invasive treatment of double outlet right ventricle (DORV). Methods    From August 2018 to August 2019, 35 patients (22 males and 13 females) with DORV aged from 5 months to 17 years were included in the study. Their mean weight was 21.35±8.48 kg. Ten patients who received operations guided by 3D printing model were allocated to a 3D printing model group, and the other 25 patients who received operations without guidance by 3D printing model were allocated to a non-3D printing model group. Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography and CT angiography were performed to observe the location and diameter of ventricular septal defect (VSD), and to confirm the relationship between VSD and double arteries. Results    The McGoon index of patients in the 3D printing model group was 1.91±0.70. There was no statistical difference in the size of VSD (13.20±4.57 mm vs. 13.40±5.04 mm, t=−0.612, P=0.555), diameter of the ascending aorta (17.10±2.92 mm vs. 16.90±3.51 mm, t=0.514, P=0.619) or diameter of pulmonary trunk (12.50± 5.23 mm vs. 12.90±4.63 mm, t=−1.246, P=0.244) between CT and 3D printing model measurements. The Pearson correlation coefficients were 0.982, 0.943 and 0.975, respectively. The operation time, endotracheal intubation time, ICU stay time and hospital stay time in the 3D printing model group were all shorter than those in the non-3D printing model group (P<0.05). Conclusion    The relationship between VSD and aorta and pulmonary artery can be observed from a 3D perspective by 3D printing technology, which can guide the preoperative surgical plans, assist physicians to make reasonable and effective decisions, shorten intraoperative exploration time and operation time, and decrease the surgery-related risks.

【Objective】 To investigate the application prospect of platelet-rich plasma lysate (PL) microneedles in the treatment of wound healing by optimizing the preparation process and evaluating the activity of platelet growth factor. 【Methods】 Firstly, hyaluronic acid (HA) was used as needle matrix material, and the concentration of HA was preliminarily determined by investigating the fluidity of HA solution, shape of needle, pressure change performance and puncture performance.Combined with the results of HA dissolution in PL, mechanical properties of PL microneedles and skin puncture, the preparation process of platelet-rich plasma lysis microneedles (PLMN) was optimized to investigate the growth factor activity of PLMN and evaluate the effect of PLMN on wound healing in rats. 【Results】 When the concentration of HA was 30 mg/mL, the solution had good fluidity.The HA microneedles could pierce three layers of sealing film, with the puncture rate at 70%, and the solution had good mechanical properties.When HA was dissolved in PL at a concentration of 30 mg/mL at 4℃, the solution had no crystallization and was with good fluidity.The prepared PLMN showed good needle shape and no bending under HD microscope and scanning electron microscope.In vitro transdermal simulation results showed that PLMN could penetrate 4 layers of sealing membrane, and the puncture rate of the first three layers was more than 85%.In vivo lysis experiment showed that PLMNs could be completely dissolved within 10 min after being inserted into the body.Forty minutes later, the micropores left after the insertion of the microneedle were almost closed, without redness, swelling, erythema and other adverse reactions.In vitro and in vivo transdermal experiments showed that clear blue holes were visible after PLMNs penetrated the skin stain, indicating that the microneedles could pierce the skin barrier.Growth factor detection results showed that the content of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) and transforming growth factor (TGFβ1) in platelet lysate were (17.67±1.23) ng/mL and (105.95±2.16) ng/mL, respectively.After PLMNs were prepared and stored at room temperature for 1 week, the content of PDGF-BB(ng/mL) and TGFβ1(ng/mL) were 15.48±2.12 and 56.26±1.53, respectively.Compared with PL(vs 17.67±1.23 and 105.95±2.16), the content of PDGF-BB and TGFβ1 decreased, but still maintained the activity of growth factors.The results of wound healing experiment in rats showed that the wound healing rate (%) of PLMN group on the third day was significantly different from that of the control group(52.51±6.15 vs 33.31±3.60, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The PLMN prepared in this experiment has good mechanical properties and can successfully pierce the skin cuticle.It can also maintain the activity of growth factors, and has a good effect on wound healing in rats, which provides a new idea for minimally invasive treatment in the field of tissue repair.

【Objective】 To clarify the role and molecular mechanism of Tanshinone ⅡA (TanⅡA) in the pathological integration of granule cells in the dentate gyrus (DG) by using the mouse model of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). 【Methods】 Status epilepticus (SE) was induced in the mice with pilocarpine and treated with TanⅡA 5 mg/kg. After two months, Morris water maze was used to examine the spatial learning and memory ability and video surveillance was used to monitor spontaneous seizures. The DG was removed for staining of Timm, Prox-1, DCX and SynⅠ. PTEN, p-AKT, and p-S6 expressions were observed by Western blotting. 【Results】 TanⅡA decreased Timm score, SynⅠ, PSD-95 and pS6 levels, and increased the level of PTEN in the DG, and attenuated the formation of mossy fiber sproutings and basal dendrites of the granule cells. Video surveillance showed that TanⅡA reduced the frequency of Racine’ grade 5 seizures. 【Conclusion】 TanⅡA can effectively attenuate the abnormal integration of the granule cells in the DG by regulating PTEN/AKT/mTOR pathway and thus plays an anti-epileptic role.
