Objective To observe the effect of lattice silver wound repair dressings on large-area abrased wounds . Methods A total of 60 patients with large-area skin abrasions were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 30 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with the same antibacterial treatment and nutritional support treatment. The control group received conventional general routine dressings and the observation group had the silver wound repair dressings every day. The two groups were compared in terms of the wound pain, wound infection rate, time for wound healing and scars of patients. Results The wound healing time in the observation group was significantly shortened (P<0.01). The scaring of the observation group was better than that in the control group (P<0.01). The pain degree and the exudation rate were both significantly lower in the observation group than those of the control group (P<0.01), and wound infection rate was lower than that of control group. Conclusions The lattice silver wound repair dressing can effectively promote the wound healing, shorten hospitalization duration, promote the patient recovery soon. It is simple and worthy of clinical popularization.

15 SARS-CoV N Protein Interacting Protein (NPIP) were selected from host cells using Yeast Two-hybrid system (Y2H). These are Angiogenin, acyglycerol kinase, cytochrome oxydase subunit I, CXC chemokine ligand 16, epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate 15, glutathione S-transferase kappa 1,integrin beta 1, jun oncogene, NIMA (never in mitosis gene a)-related kinase 10, protein tyrosine kinase 2 beta,homo sapiens SH3KBP1 binding protein 1 and ubiquitin specific peptidase 53. With the aid of immunological co-precipitation (CO-IP), it was confirmed that chemokine CXCL16 was the interactor with SARS-CoV N protein in host cells.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of osteoclast differentiation induced by staphylococcal lipoteichoic acid (LTA-sa). Methods Raw264.7 cells were treated with LTA-sa in a concentration of 200 ng/mL for 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60 min and 0, 1, 2, 3 days respectively, and the proteins in signaling pathways associated with osteoclast differentiation were measured with western blot. In addition, Raw264.7 cells were treated with different concentrations of LTA-sa (100, 200 and 400 ng/mL) and PBS for 0, 1, 2, 3 days, the expression of TNF-α, IL-1α and IL-6 was detected with Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results (1)Western blot showed that, under stimulation of LTA-sa, IκB-α decreased at 5 min and 10 min, while the phosphorylation of nuclear factor κB increased at 10 min . In addition , NFATc1 increased in 2 and 3 days gradually. The above results were statistically analyzed, and the difference was significant in statistics (P < 0.001). (2)ELISA showed that the expression of IL-6 increased in 2 and 3 days along with the increasing concentration and prolonging stimulation time of LTA-sa. Data were statistically analyzed, the difference was significant in statistics (P < 0.001). Conclusion LTA-sa promotes osteoclast differentiation through the NF-κB signaling pathway and the secretion of IL-6.

Objective To investigate the regularity of intrapulnonary lobar and segmental lymph nodes metastasis in patients with cT1N0M0 stage lung adenocarcinoma.To provide a basis for more accurate determination of N stage and indication for pulmonary segmental resection.Methods A prospective study was performed from March 2014 to December 2015.103 cases of cT1 N0M0 stage lung adenocarcinoma received lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection in the thoracic surgery department of China-Japan Friendship Hospital.Intrapulmonary lobar and segmental lymph nodes were dissected and sorted carefully then sent to the pathological department with the corresponding lung specimen and other lymph nodes.Statistical analysis was carried out considering size of the lesion,imaging features,serum CEA levels,pathological subtypes and so on.Results In total 103 cases,pN0 was confirmed in 82 cases,pN1 in 15 cases,pN1 + N2 in 5 cases,and skipping-pN2 in 1 case.14 cases(93.3％) in pN1 group were detected with station 12-14 lymph node metastasis,while only 5 cases (33.3％) were detected with station 12-14 LSNs metastasis.4 cases(66.7％) in pN2 group were detected with station 12-14 lymph node metastasis,while only 1 case(16.7％) with station 13 and station 7 lymph node metastasis.If LSNs were not detected,the false negative rate of N staging could be as high as 6.1％ (5/82),The rate of missed diagnosis of lymph node metastasis might be 30％ (6/20) to N1 stations alone.41.2％ (7/17)cases with metastasis to the adjacent LSNs had been proved with metastasis to the isolated LSNs.The metastasis rate of the isolated LSNs was significantly lower(P =0.049) in pure GGNs compared with those part-solid/solid nodules.Invasive adenocarcinoma had higher metastasis rate of isolated LSNs,compared with preinvasive lesions or minimally invasive adenocarcinomas,with no statistical difference between groups (P =0.055).No significant difference in isolated LSNs metastasis rate was found between groups with different serum CEA levels(P =0.251) or tumor size(P =0.197).Conclusion Dissection of intrapulmonary lobar and segmental lymph nodes might facilitate a more accurate N stage,reduce the false negative rate of lymph node metastasis,and provide basis for more accurate assessment of prognosis and postoperative adjuvant treatment.The sampling area of lymph nodes during segmental resection should include the adjacent LSNs of the target segment.The isolated LSNs metastasis rate of cT1N0M0 stage lung adenocarcinoma with pureGGN as imaging feature is relative low,which might be suitable for segmentectomy when meeting other criteria.

Objective To investigate the expressions of erythropoietin(EPO)and its receptor(EPO-R)in the spinal cord after acute traumatic injury in adult rats.Methods Sixty-nine Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:normal control group(n=5),spinal cord injury group(n=32),and sham operation group(n= 32).The injury group and sham operation group were further randomly divided into eight subgroups respectively (n=4)(1h,6h,12h,24h,3d,7d,14d,28 dafter operation).The expressions of EPO and EPO-R at different time points were detected by RT-PCR,Western blot and immunohistochemical staining.Results EPO was nut detected at any time point in the normal control grnup,spinal cord injury group or sham operation group.The EPO-R expression was not found in the normal control group or sham operation group.RT-PCR and Western blot analyses revealed EPO-R mRNA and protein expressions in the injury group as early as 6 h after injury.The EPO-R mRNA and protein expressions sharply increased at 12 h,peaked at 24 h to 7 d,and gradually declined after 7 d. They were still higher than those in the control rats 28 d after injury.The EPO-R immunoreactivity was chiefly found in neurons,oligodendrocytes,vascular endothelial and ependymal cells.Conclusion The EPO-R expression can be up-regulated obviously in the injured spinal cord,which provides a molecular basis for the nerooprotection of exogenous EPO.

Objective To observe the clinical application effects of Disposcope endoscope in Univent tube intubation and positioning.Methods Eighty patients underwent scheduled thoracic sur gery (51 males,29 females,aged 18-77 years,ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ) under one-lung ventilation (OLV) were randomly grouped into two groups:Disposcope endoscope group (group D) and laryngoscope group (group L),40 patients in each group.Group D used Disposcope endoscope for intubation and positio ning while group L used laryngoscope for intubation and auscultation positioning.Patients with difficult intubation,severe ventilation dysfunction and large sputum volume,such as pulmonary hemoptysis and bronchiectasis,were excluded.Intubation and positioning time,airway pressure and arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) were recorded during double-lung ventilation and OLV,lung collapse effect,and one-time successful intubation ratio,positionging adjustment ratio and the incidence of intubation complications were calculated.Results Intubation and positioning time were significantly longer in group L than in group D [(169.98±52.65)s vs.(102.38±44.45)s](P＜0.05),one-time successful intubation ratio in group L was lower than that in group D (80％ vs.97.5％) (P ＜0.05).The difference of airway pressure and PaCO2 during double-lung ventilation and OLV between the two groups were not statistically significant.The blocker positioning adjust ratio of Univent tube in group L was significantly higher than that in group D (22.5％ vs.7.5％)(P＜0.05).The incidence of bleeding and sore throat after operation in group L were significantly higher than those in group D (27.5％ vs.7.5％,37.5％ vs.15％) (P＜0.05).Conclusion Compare with laryngoscope for intubation and auscultation positioning,Disposcope endoscope used for Univent tube intubation and positioning needs shorter time for intubation and positioning,higher successful one-time intubation ratio,less positioning adjustment.It also reduces the incidence of intubation complications.

OBJECTIVETo prepare and apply monoclonal antibodies (McAb) against recombinant human interferon alpha (rHu IFN-alpha).

METHODSFive cell lines (2E9, 4G1, 2A7, 2C9, 4G10) secreting McAbs against rHu IFN-alpha were established by hybridoma technique.

RESULTSAll the cell lines secreted monoclonal antibodies stably. Functions of secreting antibodies of the five cell lines lasted for 6 months in BALB/c mice and 8 months in cell culture. The specificity of antibody was constant. The Ig subclasses of the McAbs were IgG1. Anti-IFN McAb affinity purification column was prepared by coupling the anti IFN-alpha McAb to Sepharose 4B. The combining rate reached was higher than 95%.

CONCLUSIONSThe highest purification efficiency was obtained by using 4G10 column.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVEApproximately 30% of patients who are diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are classified as N2 on the basis of metastasis to the mediastinal lymph nodes. The effectiveness of surgery for these patients remains controversial. Although surgeries in recent years are proved to be effective to some extent, yet due to many reasons, 5-year survival rate after surgery varies greatly from patient to patient. Thus it is necessary to select patients who have a high probability of being be cured through an operation, who are suitable to receive surgery and the best surgical methods so as to figure out the conditions under which surgical treatment can be chosen and the factors that may influence prognosis.

METHODS165 out of 173 patients with N2 NSCLC were treated with surgery in our department from January 1999 to May 2003, among whom 130 were male, 43 female and the sex ratio was 3:1, average age 53, ranging from 29 to 79. The database covers the patients' complete medical history including the information of their age, sex, location and size of tumor, date of operation, surgical methods, histologic diagnosis, clinical stage, post-operative TNM stage, neoadjuvant treatment and chemoradiotherapy. The methods of clinical stage verification include chest X-ray, chest CT, PET, mediastinoscopy, bronchoscope (+?), brain CT or MRI, abdominal B ultrasound (or CT), and bone ECT. The pathological classification was based on the international standard for lung cancer (UICC 1997). Survival time was analyzed from the operation date to May 2008 with the aid of SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) program. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Log-rank test and Cox multiplicity were adopted respectively to obtain patients' survival curve, survival rate and the impact possible factors may have on their survival rate.

RESULTSThe median survival time was 22 months, with 3-year survival rate reaching 28.1% and 5-year survival rate reaching 19.0%. Age, sex, different histological classification and postoperative chemoradiotherapy seem to have no correlation with 5-year survival rate. In all N2 subtypes, 5-year survival rate is remarkably higher for unexpected N2 discovered at thoractomy and proven N2 stage before preoperative work-up and receive a mediastinal down-staging after induction therapy (P < 0.01), reaching 30.4% and 27.3% respectively. 5-year survival rate for single station lymph node metastasis were 27.8%, much higher compared with 9.3% for multiple stations (P < 0.001). Induction therapy which downstages proven N2 in 73.3% patients gains them the opportunity of surgery. The 5-year survival rate were 23.6% and 13.0% for patients who had complete resection and those who had incomplete resection (P < 0.001). Patients who underwent lobectomy (23.2%) have higher survival rate, less incidence rate of complication and mortality rate, compared with pneumonectomy (14.8%) (P < 0.01). T4 patients has a 5-year survival rate as low as 11.1%, much less than T1 (31.5%) and T2 (24.3%) patients (P = 0.01). It is noted through Cox analysis that completeness of resection, number of positive lymph node stations and primary T status have significant correlativity with 5-year survival rate.

CONCLUSIONIt is suggested that surgery (lobectomy preferentially) is the best solution for T1 and T2 with primary tumor have not invaded pleura or the distance to carina of trachea no less than 2 cm, unexpected N2 discovered at thoractomy when a complete resection can be applied, and proven N2 discovered during preoperative work-up and is down-staged after induction therapy. Surgical treatment is the best option, lobectomy should be prioritized in operational methods since ise rate of complication and morality are lower than that of pneumonectomy. Patients' survival time will not benefit from surgery if they are with lymph nodes metastasis of multiple stations (Bulky N2 included) and T4 which can be partially removed. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy increases long-term survival rate of those with N2 proven prior to surgery. However, postoperative radiotherapy decreases local recurrence rate but does not contribute to patients' long-term survival rate.

Objective:To analyze the expression of P-selectin and thrombopoietin (TPO) in patients with glioma, and explore their correlation with severity of disease.Methods:One hundred and six patients with glioma who were treated in the Third People's Hospital of Dalian City from June 2017 to June 2019 were selected as the observation group, and 50 physical examination person in the same period were selected as the healthy control group. The clinic data of patients in two groups were analyzed.Results:The serum P-selectin and TPO levels in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group: (62.35 ± 16.71) μg/L vs. (25.42 ± 9.18) μg/L, (12.64 ± 3.26) μg/L vs. (6.93 ± 1.77) μg/L ( P<0.01). In patients with different severity of glioma, serum P-selectin and TPO levels in the high-grade group were significantly higher than those in the low-level group: (65.14 ± 17.19) μg/L vs. (53.71 ± 15.26) μg/L, (14.57 ± 3.38) μg/L vs. (9.04 ± 1.97) μg/L ( P<0.01). Serum P-selectin and TPO levels in patients with glioma after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment: (57.28 ± 16.22) μg/L vs. (62.35 ± 16.71) μg/L, (10.85 ± 2.97) μg/L vs. (12.64 ± 3.26) μg/L ( P<0.01). Spearman correlation analysis result showed that there was a significant positive correlation between serum P-selectin, TPO levels and WHO classification in patients with glioma ( r = 0.417 and 0.361, P<0.05). The results of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under curve (AUC) of serum P-selectin in the diagnosis of glioma was 0.859 (95% CI 0.794 to 0.910, P<0.01), the sensitivity was 90.00%, and the specificity was 74.53%. The ROC curve analysis result showed that the AUC of serum TPO in the diagnosis of glioma was 0.720 (95% CI 0.643 to 0.789, P<0.01), the sensitivity was 69.81%, and the specificity was 72.00%. Conclusions:Serum P-selectin and TPO are abnormally expressed in glioma patients, and their level changes are related to the severity of the disease.

Objective To investigate the effect of imatinib on the growth of A549 non-small cell lung cancer transplanted tumors and the expression of PDGFB and PDGFRβ proteins in tumor tissues and stroma in nude mice and to explore the underlying tumor suppression mechanism. Methods A transplantation tumor model of A549 non-small cell lung cancer was established in nude mice. The mice were then randomly divided into four groups: control group (0.9%NaCl), low-dose imatinib group (50 mg/(kg·d)), medium-dose imatinib group (100 mg/(kg·d)), and high-dose imatinib group (200 mg/(kg·d)). The effect of different concentrations of imatinib administered by continuous gavage on tumor growth was observed for 28 days. HE staining was performed to observe the pathological changes of tumor tissues. The expression of PDGF/PDGFR pathway-related proteins and the phosphorylation levels of AKT and ERK1/2 proteins in tumor tissues were detected by Western blot analysis. Double immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of PDGFB and PDGFRβ proteins in the tumor stroma. Results Imatinib inhibited the growth of A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells in nude mice, suppressed the expression of PDGFB in tumor tissues, and decreased the phosphorylation levels of PDGFRβ, AKT, and ERK1/2. The expression of PDGFB and PDGFRβ in tumor stromal fibroblasts of the administered group was significantly lower than that of the control group. Conclusion Imatinib exhibits a pronounced inhibitory effect on A549 xenografts of nude mice with non-small cell lung cancer, and its antitumor mechanism may involve the downregulation of PDGFB and PDGFRβ expression in tumor stromal fibroblasts.
