We designed and synthesized eighteen lycorine derivatives with five different structural types, and evaluated their antiviral activities on a HCoV-OC43-infected H460 cell model. Structure-activity relationships suggested that the introduction of appropriate substituents on the 6N atom of lycorine was beneficial to activity. Compound 6a gave a good activity with the half effective concentration (EC₅₀) and selectivity index (SI) values of 2.36 μmol·L^-1 and 16.52, respectively. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) result indicated that 6a might target the non-structural protein 12 (NSP12) subunit in RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of SARS-CoV-2 with the dissociation constant (K_D) value of 1.36 μmol·L^-1. Molecular docking indicated that 6a might act on nidovirus RdRp-associated nucleotidyltransferase (NiRAN) catalytic center of NSP12, distinct from the mechanism of nucleoside-like drugs such as remdesivir. This study provides scientific data for the development of lycorine derivatives into a new class of anti-SARS-CoV-2 small molecule inhibitors.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of free and pedicled thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flaps for repairing skin and soft tissue defects in limbs, neck, axillary and shoulder.

METHODSFrom October 2009 to Auguest 2011, 16 TDAP flaps were used to repair skin and tissue defects. Among them, five ipsilateral pedicled flaps were used to repair wounds in neck, axillary and shoulder. 11 free TDAP flaps were used to repair the wounds with bone or tendon exposure. In 12 cases, the flaps were pedicled with thoracodorsal artery and vein-lateral branches-perforators, in 4 cases, pedicled with thoracodorsal artery and vein-serratus anterior muscular branches-perforators. The deep fascia, the latissimus dorsi and thoracodorsal nerve were not included in all flaps. The flaps size ranged from 10 cm x 5 cm to 26 cm x 10 cm.

RESULTSAll 16 flaps survived completely with primary healing both at donor site and recipent area. After a follow-up of 3 to 24 months, all flaps gained good texture and appearance. Only linear scar was left at donor area. The shoulder could move freely.

CONCLUSIONSTDAP flap has good texture, long vascular pedicle,and reliable blood supply, leaving less morbidity at donor site. The latissimus dorsi and thoracodorsal nerve are also preserved. The pedicled TDAP flap is an ideal flap for repairing the ipsilateral skin and soft tissue defects of the neck, shoulder, axillary. The free TDAP flap is suited for repairing skin and soft tissue defects of the extremities.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) at high b value for unilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusive disease in patients without obvious infarct lesions on conventional MR imaging.MethodsDTI at high b value (2200 s/mm2 ) was performed using a 3.0 Tesla MR scanner in 34 patients with unilateral middle cerebral artery occlusion,who had no obvious infarct lesions on conventional MR imaging. Fractional anisotropy (FA),apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC),axial diffusivity (eigenvalue λ1) and radial diffusivity (eigenvalues λ2,λ3) were measured at the ipsilateral and contralateral corona radiata,anterior and posterior limbs of the internal capsule,cerebral peduncle and pons in all subjects.Mean ADC,FA,λ1,λ2 and λ3 values of corona radiata,anterior and posterior limbs of the internal capsule,cerebral peduncle and pons were compared between the ipsilateral and contralateral MCAterritory by t test. Results Among the 34 patients,left MCA occlusion in M1 segment occurred in 16 patients and right MCA occlusion in Ml segment occurred in 18 patients.At the ipsilateral corona radiata,mean FA,ADC,λ1,λ2 and λ3 were 0.419 ±0.032,(5.975 ±0.272) × 10 3,(5.704 ±0.365) ×10-3,(6.412 ±0.368) × 10-3 and (6.605 ±0.343) × 10-3 mm2/s,respectively.At the contralateral corona radiata,mean FA,ADC,λ1,λ2 and λ3 were 0.443 ± 0.033,(5.804 ± 0.282) × 10 -3,(5.651 ±0.350) × 10-3,(6.099 ±0.353) × 10-3 and(6.372 ±0.355) × 10-3 mm2/s,respectively.At the ipsilateral corona radiata,mean FA was significantly decreased(t =11.614,P ＜0.01),and mean ADC (t=12.421,P＜0.01),λ1(t =7.447,P＜0.01),λ2(t=10.244,P＜0.01) and λ3(t=9.890,P＜0.01) were significantly increased.At the ipsilateral anterior and posterior limb of the internal capsule,mean FA were 0.609 ±0.026 and 0.674 ±0.033,λ1 were(5.330 ±0.462) × 10 -3 and(5.171 ±0.456) ×10-3 mm2/s,respectively.At the contralateral anterior and posterior limb of the internal capsule,FA were 0.622 ±0.026 and 0.694 ±0.034,λ1 were(5.064 ± 0.448) × 10 -3 and(4.924 ± 0.365) × 10 -3 mm2/s,respectively.Mean FA was significantly decreased (t =7.823,8.013,all P ＜ 0.01) and mean λ1 was significantly increased (t =7.811,8.800,all P ＜0.01) at the ipsilateral anterior and posterior limbs of the internal capsule.There was no significant difference in ADC,λ2 and λ3 value between the ipsilateral and contralateral sides.And all the DTI parameters,including mean ADC,FA,λ1,λ2 and λ3 values,showed no statistical difference between both sides of cerebral peduncle and pons.ConclusionDTI at high b valuc can provide useful information for visualizing ischemic white matter injury in patients without obvious infarct lesions on conventional MR imaging.

Objective To investigate the minimal invasive management of cystitis glandularis with invasion of the ureteric meatus.Methods The clinical data of 18 cases were reviewed.Among the 18 cystitis glandularis patients,12 cases were invasion of bilateral ureteric meatus and 6 of unilateral ureteric meatus.Operation or drug treatment was performed on the diseases that can cause cystitis glandularis such as bladder stone,bladder neck stegnosis,external urethral meatus stegnosis and benign prostate hyperplasia.Sensitive antibiotic was administrated in all cases.After placing ureter catheter,transurethral plasma electro-resection was carried out in five patients whose ureteric meatus could be identified.In addition,of thirteen patients with ureteral orifice unable to be identified,there were ten cases with normal renal function,mitomycin was injected under affected membrana mucosa,and then the patient with ureteral orifice identified underwent transurethral plasma electro-resection after placing ureter catheter.On the other hand,the patient whose ureteral orifice still could not be recognized undertaken transurethral electro-resection at first,during which the ureter catheter was put once ureteral orifice had been detected,otherwise,the ureter catheter should be placed through cystoscope if nephritic colic emerged and hydronephrosis aggravated after operation.In those patients with kidney dysfunction,the ureter catheter was put by ureter discission or ureter replantation at first,the transurethral electro-resection could not be executed until the renal function recovered.Following all these procedure above,bladder instillation of drugs regularly,anti-infection and symptomatic treatment were administrated.Results One patient combined with bladder adenocarcinoma received cystectomy,of the other patients,six cases recurred and underwent electrotomy again resulting in no relapse.All nephrohydrops vanished or relieved obviously,nevertheless,urinary tract infection,haematuria and bladder-ureter backstreaming as the cardinal complication developed in some cases.Conclusion In the management of cystitis glandularis encroaching ureteric meatus,total or partial cystectomy can be avoided if ureter draining freely can be ensured,motivation removal,antiinfection,injection of drug under mucosa and preoperative diuresis conduce to the achievement of ureter catheter placing,transurethral plasma electro-resection is still effective methods in treating these cystitis glandularis.

Objective To explore the feasibility and clinic outcome of the modified latissimus dorsi flap when it is used to repair huge soft tissue defects in lower limbs.Methods The latissimus dorsi muscle is rich blood supply and available for harvest huge areas.According to these characteristics the modified latissimus dorsi flap was designed:a limited latissimus dorsi skin flap with a large area of latissimus dorsi muscle flap,skin graft area was transferred from donor-site to recipient-site.From April 2009 to August 2011,ten patients with large soft tissue defects in lower limbs were treated with modified latissimus dorsi flap.The size of skin and soft tissue defects range from 19 cm × 10 cm to 32 cm × 16 cm.Ten modified latissimus dorsi flaps had been used for coverage of these wounds,which were amplified 1-2 cm compared with the corresponding wounds.The size of skin flap was 20 cm × 6 cm-33 cm × 10 cm which was allowable to get direct closure of donor-site wounds.Results All the flaps and skin graft survived completely with no complication.Donor-site and recipient-site were primary closed and healing in all patients.All of the patients had got follow-up from 6 months to 36 months.All flaps survived with excellent color and quality,and no extremely fat contour.The results in donor site were satisfying and only left liner scar.It has no effect in the shoulder function.Conclusion The modified latissimus doris flap can provide with a huge amount of skin and soft tissue and be designed in various ways.It is a safe and reliable way to reconstruct huge skin and soft tissue defect in lower limbs.

Objective To evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in superficial lymphadenopathy. Methods Ninty-four superficial enlarged lymph nodes were studied by 2-dimensional, color Doppler ultrasound, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Then the contrast-enhanced images were analyzed by Philips Q-LAB software. All the results were compared with pathological diagnosis. Results For the 94 superficial lymph nodes examined,44 were benign,33 were metastases and 17 were lymphomas. The sensitivity, specificity,and accuracy of contrast-enhanced images were 84% ,74% and 790//oo respectively. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination showed intense homogeneous enhancement in 39 of 44 benign lymph nodes; high or low homogeneous enhancement in 25 of 33 and 7 of 33 in metastases respectively;intense homogeneous, and scarce enhancement in 6 of 17 and 9 of 17 in lymphomas respectively. Time-intensity curves showed that compared with metastasis lymph nodes and lymphomas, benign lymph nodes had higher peak intensity and larger area under the curve (P<0.01). Conclusions The diagnosis accuracy was significant increased when contrast-enhanced ultrasound was test against conventional ultrasound. The character of contrast agent enhancement and Q-LAB time-intensity curves provide valuable diagnosis information for differential diagnosis of benign,metastasis lymph nodes and lymphomas.

Objective To study haemostatic percutaneous injection therapy for the management of vascular damage in patients with renal injuries guided by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS).Methods Which of 56 patients with renal trauma were diagnosis by CEUS,37 cases with grades Ⅱ-Ⅳ renal injuries were brought into our study.According to wound degree and accompanying active bleeding,they were divided into experiment group (percutaneous injection hemostatic treatment)and control group(conservative treatment).Results Thirty-seven renal trauma manifest low perfusion in lesions by CEUS,and the contrast agent could be seen overflow to renal pelvi and the location of capsule in 13 patients.The patients were divided into experiment group(17 cases)and control group(20 cases).The color of hematuria of 9 patients in experiment group became gradually light at 30 mins after treatment.and the color of 7 cases become normal,and hematuria of the only one was iterative appear.The color of hematuria of 9 patients in control group became gradually light in 24-72 hours,others' hematuria became gradually light in 5-14 days.The time of color of hematuria become light of the former was shorter than those of the latter(P<0.05).Reexamination by ultrasound and renal function and urine routine at 1,3 and 6 months after treatment,the results of all patients indicated normal.Conclusions Haemostatic percutaneous injection therapy for renal trauma guided by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography has very obvious hemostatic efficacy.Its advantages included may be used for effective,minimally invasive control of renal injuries(grades Ⅱ-Ⅳ),and can be a feasible management of active bleeding at bedside.

Objective To study feasibility of combined haemostatic percutaneous injection therapy guided by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in treatment of renal injuries. Methods Eighteen New Zealand rabbits were inflicted with kidney injury imitating grades Ⅲ-Ⅳ blunt injuries. The animals were randomly and equally divided into three groups, Group A ( treated with hemocoagulase),Group B ( treated with hemocoagulase and Alpha-cyanoacrylate) and Group C ( control group, given normal saline). The hemostatic time, hemostatic effect, and perirenal hematoma were observed. Results A perirenal hematoma was observed one hour after treatment. The perirenal fluid thickness was (0.200 ±0.012) cm in Group A, (0.050 ±0.002) cm in Group B and (0.400 ±0.009) cm in Group C, with statistical significance between two test groups and Group C (P ＜ 0.05 ). At days 7 and 14 following treatment, lesion length and cross section was ( 1. 107 ±0. 143) cm and (0.433 ±0. 163) cm in Group A, (0.567 ±0.082) cm and (0. 160 ±0. 078) cm in Group B, and (0.980 ±0. 203) cm and (0.686 ± 0. 157) cm in Group C. There was statistical significance between the test groups (Groups A and B) and Group C (P＜0. 01) at day 14. The lesion size in Group A was lager than that in Group B (P ＜ 0.01 ). One month after treatment, a slight nephrohydrosis occurred in Group B. Conclusions Either injection of simple hemocoagulase or combined use of hemocoagulase and Alpha-cyanoacrylate guided by CEUS can attain positive hemostatic effect, but the latter one is more rapid and reliable.
