Objective:To explore the clinical application of the principle of priority of mechanics in open blepharoplasty.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 96 patients with bilateral single eyelid. For patients with condylar epidermis, the modified Park method for epidermal epidermal correction was performed; for patients with mild ptosis, levator aponeurosis or levator aponeurosis was performed. Methods such as loosening adhesions, reducing tissues, reducing load, and increasing the strength of the meibomian plate through surgery can weaken the mechanical factors that affect the formation of double eyelid folds. Therefore, with less or even the use of suture force, the patient achieves a more ideal shape of the double eyelid folds when the eyes are opened.Results:The morphology of upper eyelids and skin sagging in all 96 patients were significantly improved. Among them, 2 cases had poor curvature of the double eyelid after operation, 1 had narrow double eyelid due to insufficient peeling, and 2 had bilateral asymmetry. The upper and lower eyelids of the other patients had natural morphology with open and closed eyes, scars of incisions were not obvious, and the results were satisfactory.Conclusions:During mild blepharoptosis correction combined with double eyelid surgery, The use of the principle of priority of mechanics to open the double blepharoplasty can reduce the incidence of complications such as shallowing and disappearing of double eyelid folds to a certain extent, and it is worth popularizing.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the serum containing Puerariae Lobatae Radix on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling pathway protein endoplasmic reticulum stress protein glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), activated transcription factor 4 (ATF4), protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), and eukaryotic translation initiation factors (eIF2α) and on inflammatory injury of macrophages induced by high glucose, and explore its possible mechanism. MethodThe control serum and serum containing Puerariae Lobatae Radix were prepared by serum pharmacology. The RAW264.7 macrophages were cultured in vitro, and 62.5 mmol·L-1 glucose was used to induce macrophages to establish a model of severe endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (ERS) in vitro. Different volume fractions of serum containing Puerariae Lobatae Radix and ERS inhibitor (4-PBA) were used to interfere with the cells. Different glucose concentrations (22.5, 23.5, 25.0, 27.5, 32.5, 47.5, 72.5, 122.5 mmol·L-1) and the effect of different volume fractions of serum containing Puerariae Lobatae Radix (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) on the survival rate of RAW264.7 macrophages were detected by cell proliferation and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Based on the results of the effect of glucose concentrations on macrophage survival rate by CCK-8, Western blot (WB) was used to determine the protein expression levels of GRP78, the signature protein of ERS, by different concentrations of glucose (22.5, 32.5, 42.5, 52.5, 62.5, 72.5 mmol·L-1) at different time periods (6, 12, 24, 36, 48 h), and the optimal concentration and time for establishing the model of severe ERS were screened out. Based on the above experimental results, the cells were divided into blank group, 62.5 mmol·L-1 glucose model group, 2 mmol·L-1 4-PBA group, and high, medium, and low-dose (15%, 10%, 5%) serum containing Puerariae Lobatae Radix groups for subsequent experiments. The expression of TNF-α in the supernatant of RAW264.7 macrophages in the model of severe ERS was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expressions of related pathway proteins in the model of severe ERS were determined by WB. ResultThe results of CCK-8 assay showed that the survival rate of macrophages reached the highest under the stimulation of glucose concentration of 27.5 mmol·L-1 (P<0.01), while the survival rate of macrophages increased with the concentration increasing from 22.5 mmol·L-1 to 27.5 mmol·L-1. When the glucose concentration was 25.0 mmol·L-1, there was a significant difference (P<0.01), and when the glucose concentration was 37.5 mmol·L-1 to 122.5 mmol·L-1, there was a downward trend. The serum containing Puerariae Lobatae Radix showed significant differences in the volume of 1% to 15% (P<0.05, P<0.01). The results of WB found that the GRP78 protein expression was the most significant at 24 h (P<0.01), and the GRP78 protein expression was the most significant when the glucose concentration was 62.5 mmol·L-1 (P<0.01). Therefore, 62.5 mmol·L-1 of glucose was the optimal concentration to induce the model of severe ERS. As compared with the blank group, the protein expression levels of TNF-α, GRP78, ATF4, phosphorylation(p)-PERK/PERK, p-eIF2α/eIF2α in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and as compared with the model group, the protein expression levels of TNF-α, GRP78, ATF4, p-PERK/PERK, p-eIF2α/eIF2α in each administration group were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionThe results of in vitro experiments show that Puerariae Lobatae Radix can alleviate the inflammatory injury of macrophages induced by high glucose to a certain extent and restore cell homeostasis by inhibiting the expression of GRP78, ATF4, PERK, and eIF2α in the ERS signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Buyang Huanwutang in regulating macrophage polarization based on the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) / nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) / nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor 3 (NLRP3) pathway. MethodRAW264.7 macrophages were intervened with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of different concentrations (0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 mg·L-1) for 24 hours. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to determine the cell viability of RAW264.7 macrophages. The optimal concentration was chosen to establish an in vitro inflammation model induced by LPS. Cells were divided into a blank group (20% blank serum), a model group (20% blank serum + 10 mg·L-1 LPS), a model control group (20% FBS + 10 mg·L-1 LPS), low-, medium-, and high-dose (5%, 10%, and 20%) Buyang Huanwutang-containing serum groups, a high-dose (20%) Buyang Huanwutang combined with NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 (50 μmol·L-1) group, a high-dose (20%) Buyang Huanwutang combined with reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibitor NAC (10 μmol·L-1) group, and a high-dose (20%) Buyang Huanwutang combined with NF-κB inhibitor PDTC (10 μmol·L-1) group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-18 (IL-18), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in RAW264.7 macrophages. Flow cytometry was employed to measure ROS levels in macrophages. Western blot was used to determine the protein expression of M1-type macrophage-related factors inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and TNF-α, M2-type macrophage-related factors arginase-1 (Arg-1) and interleukin-10 (IL-10), as well as the proteins in the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway. ResultCCK-8 results indicated that under 10 mg·L-1 LPS stimulation, RAW264.7 macrophages exhibited the highest cell viability (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the model group showed significantly increased levels of IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α (P<0.05,P<0.01), increased ROS expression (P<0.05,P<0.01), increased protein expression of M1-type macrophage factors iNOS and TNF-α (P<0.01), decreased protein expression of M2-type macrophage factors Arg-1 and IL-10 (P<0.05,P<0.01), and upregulated expression levels of TLR4, myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), phosphorylated inhibitor of NF-κB (p-IκB)/NF-κB inhibitor (IκB), phosphorylated NF-κB (p-NF-κB) p65/NF-κB p65, NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), and pro-Caspase-1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, all Buyang Huanwutang-treated groups and inhibitor groups significantly reduced levels of IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α (P<0.01), suppressed the expression of inflammatory factors in RAW264.7 macrophages, decreased cellular ROS expression levels (P<0.01), downregulated M1-type macrophages iNOS and TNF-α protein expression (P<0.01), upregulated M2-type macrophages Arg-1 and IL-10 protein expression (P<0.01), and lowered protein expression levels of TLR4, MyD88, p-IκB/IκB, p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65, NLRP3, ASC, and pro-Caspase-1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionBuyang Huanwutang can improve macrophage inflammation, potentially by reducing macrophage ROS levels, inhibiting RAW264.7 macrophage polarization, and downregulating the protein expression levels of the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway.

Background:
In China, secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCR) has been widely used in ovarian cancer (OC) over the past two decades. Although Gynecologic Oncology Group-0213 trial did not show its overall survival benefit in first relapsed patients, the questions on patient selection and effect of subsequent targeting therapy are still open. The preliminary data from our pre-SOC1 phase II study showed that selected patients with second relapse who never received SCR at recurrence may still benefit from surgery. Moreover, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) maintenance now has been a standard care for platinum sensitive relapsed OC. To our knowledge, no published or ongoing trial is trying to answer the question if patient can benefit from a potentially complete resection combined with PARPi maintenance in OC patients with secondary recurrence.
Methods
SOC-3 is a multi-center, open, randomized, controlled, phase II trial of SCR followed by chemotherapy and niraparib maintenance vs chemotherapy and niraparib maintenance in patients with platinum-sensitive second relapsed OC who never received SCR at recurrence. To guarantee surgical quality, if the sites had no experience of participating in any OC-related surgical trials, the number of recurrent lesions evaluated by central-reviewed positron emission tomography–computed tomography image shouldn't be more than 3. Eligible patients are randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either SCR followed by 6 cyclesof platinum-based chemotherapy and niraparib maintenance or 6 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy and niraparib maintenance alone. Patients who undergo at least 4 cycles of chemotherapy and must be, in the opinion of the investigator, without disease progression, will be assigned niraparib maintenance. Major inclusion criteria are secondary relapsed OC with a platinum-free interval of no less than 6 months and a possibly complete resection. Major exclusion criteria are borderline tumors and non-epithelial ovarian malignancies, received debulking surgery at recurrence and impossible to complete resection. The sample size is 96 patients. Primary endpoint is 12-month non-progression rate.
