Objective: To observe the histological changes of lamina extema cranii at both the graft and donor areas after having been grafted in animal experiment. Methods; 4 mini pigs aged from 8 to 12 months were selected. Part of the outer table of skull (2.5 cm × 1.0 cm) was decorticated and was divided equally. Both were implanted on each side of the snouts of animals. 2 pigs were selected randomly and were killed 12 weeks postoperation. Each 1, 0 cm ×0. 5 cm specimen was harvested and histological study was performed. The other 2 animals were killed 24 weeks after operation. Gross inspection of the donor site was performed and histological study was done. Results; In the graft area; bone absorption was obvious 12 weeks postoperation, but bone matrix increased obviously at 24 weeks postoperation. Results of scanning electron microscope showed that interface between bone graft and recipient site was discernment and collagen type I was malaligned 12 weeks postoperation. Collagen fibers were in good order and good mineralization was found 24 weeks postoperation. In the donor area; small amounts of new bone formation could be seen and alignment of cemental line was chaotic 12 weeks postoperation. At 24 weeks, bone formation was obvious and alignment of haversian canal was regular. Scanning electron microscopy showed that structure of the tissue was uneven and disorder at 12 weeks postoperation. Collagen fibers were in good order and good mineralization was found 24 weeks postoperation. On gross view, raw surface of the donor site got complete healing, os-teanagenesis was incomplete and introcession could be observed in the local area. Conclusion; Histological remodeling of lamina exter-na cranii is complete at 24 weeks after having been grafted. The donor site can regenerate but morphologic introcession could be observed.

This study was aimed to investigate whether the extracts of Celastrus orbiculatus enhanced the invasion function of maspin tumor inhibitor gene through the construction of maspin overexpression human gastric carcinoma MGC803 cell line. Maspin was cloned into plasmid GV208-EGFP eukaryotic expression vector. And then, the recombinant plasmid GV208-maspin-EGFP was transfected into human gastric carcinoma MGC803 cells. After the maspin overexpression MGC803 cell were treated with Celastrus orbiculatus extracts in different concentrations (10, 20, 40 μg·mL-1), the invasion effects were detected by Transwell chamber assay. The results showed that after the successful construction of maspin overexpression cell line, the number of cells invading through Matrigel was obviously decreased in the Transwell chamber assay. It also showed drug concentration dependency. It was concluded that maspin gene can inhibit invasion of gastric carcinoma MGC803 cells. Simultaneously, the extracts of Celastrus orbiculatus can enhance the function of maspin gene.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of the proximal interphalangeal kite flap in repairing the wound of the posterior web of the split toe.Methods:A retrospective case series study was used to analyze the clinical data of children with syndactyly after toe web wounds were repaired with proximal kite flap between toe webs in the Yidu Central Hospital of Weifang from May 2010 to March 2019. The satisfaction of flap repair effect (the total score is 5-10) and the operation effect according to toe function, toe web slope, and depth were evaluated. The measurement data of normal distribution were expressed in Mean±SD and analyzed by paired sample t-test. Results:A total of 10 children with syndactyly were included, including four males and six females, aged from 6 months to 9 years. Seven cases were on the right side, and there were on the left. All were soft tissue connexions, incomplete syndactyly 6 feet, complete syndactyly 4 feet. All flaps survived and were followed up for an average of 13 months (range, 6-24 months). The score of satisfaction was 8.6±2.7. The appearance, color, elasticity, and texture of the reconstructed web are similar to those of the uninjured side. At the last follow-up, there was no significant difference between the abduction of the separated toe and that of the healthy side (43.57 ± 3.82)° and (44.39 ± 4.25)°( P=0.64). There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.66). The reconstruction depth of the toe web was (1.19 ± 0.23) cm, which was not significantly different from that of the healthy side (1.21 ± 0.27) cm ( P=0.85). Conclusions:The proximal interphalangeal kite flap is one of the ideal methods to repair the wounds of the posterior web of the congenital syndactyly. However, the number of cases in this study is small, and the follow-up time is short. The curative effect of the children with the growth and development process needs further research.

Objective To investigate the pathogenesis of paraquat (PQ) induced acute lung injury through Toll like receptor 3 (Toll-like receptor-3, TLR3), TLR induced nuclear transcription factors (Nuclear Factor-kappa B, NF-κB) and its downstream pro-inflammatory factors TNF-a, IL-1β, IL-6. Methods The acute lung injury model of mice and the acute injury model of type II alveolar epithelial cells (A549) induced by PQ were established. The PQ mediated pathological changes of lung tissue, the cell count and cytospin of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were evaluated, and the pro-inflammatory factors in the lung tissue of mice were determined by ELISA the viability of A549 cells mediated by PQ was detected by CCK8 assay, and the mRNA expression and protein level of TLR3, Phospho-NF-kBp65, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the lung tissues and A549 cells were observed by Real-time PCR and Western-blotting. In control group, the mice received normal saline (NS) instead of PQ. Results Compared with the control group, the mice in PQ group showed difficulty breathing, decreased activity, reduced food intake, and weight lost. The total number of BALF cells in the PQ group was significantly increased [NS: (0.018 8±0.102 1) × 105 vs. PQ: (0.237 4±0.121 7) ×105,t=9.804,P<0.01] with macrophage [NS: (0.162 8±0.086 5) × 105 vs. PQ: (1.063 3± 0.343 3) × 105,t=8.043,P<0.01],lymphocyte [NS: (0.006 6±0.005 2) × 105 vs. PQ: (0.171 2±0.099 1) × 105, t=5.243,P<O.Ol] and neutrophils [NS: (0.000 04±0.000 1) × 105 vs. PQ: (0.901 9±0.652 5) × 105, t=4370, P<0.01]. In PQ group, the appearance and volume of lung tissue increased with hyperemia and edema. HE slices showed inflammatory cell infiltration and pulmonary interstitial hemorrhage. Moreover, the expressions of TNF-a, IL-1β, IL-6 in BALF of PQ group was significantly higher than those of the control group by the ELISA assay [TNF-a: NS: (2.782 1 ± 3.521 5) vs. PQ: ( 7.512 6±3.459 8) pg/mL,t=3.030, P<0.05; IL-1β: NS: (22.687 5±14.229 3) vs. PQ: (163.100 4±81.118 3) pg/mL,t=5.391,P<0.01 ; IL-6: NS: (1.653 3±0.442 7) vs. PQ: (648.565 6 ± 422.606 1) pg/mL, t=4.841,P<0.01]. CCK8 results indicated that the viability of A549 cells decreased by 25.3% and 36.4% at 24h after 200~400 μmol/L PQ treatment (all P<0.05). The mRNA expressions of TNF-a, IL-1p, IL-6 in the lung tissue and A549 cells in PQ group were higher than those in the control group as well (all P< 0.05). Furthermore, Western-blotting results revealed that the protein levels of TLR3 and Phospho-NF-κBp65 in the lung and A549 cells mediated by PQ were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P< 0.05). Conclusions PQ may induce acute lung injury by up-regulation of the expressions of inflammatory factors TNF-a, IL-1β, IL-6 through the TLR3/NF-κB signaling pathway.
