Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of shenmabiejia and decitabine combined with CAG chemotherapy regimens in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia, so as to provide suggestions for the treatment of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia.Methods120 elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia were randomly divided into Chinese medicine group (40 cases) and Western medicine group (40 cases) and control group (40 cases).The traditional Chinese medicine group were treated with shenmabiejia combined with CAG chemotherapy regimens;the western medicine group with decitabine combined with CAG chemotherapy regimens;the control group received CAG therapy only.Clinical data, effect, ECOG score and adverse reactions were collected.ResultsCompared with control group, CR (χ2=10.131,8.020, P=0.001,0.005) and ORR (χ2=14.245,8.791, P=0.000,0.003) of Chinese medicine group and Western medicine group were higher, NR were lower than those in the control group(χ2=14.245,8.791, P=0.000,0.397).Compared with the control group, ECOG physical scores of Chinese medicine group and Western medicine group were lower (t=5.125,3.427, P=0.000,0.000).The incidence of group, pulmonary infection, fever, thrombocytopenia, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, liver injury of traditional Chinese medicine was lower than in the control group (t=10.286,5.556,15.126,4.800,7.207,21.344, P=0.001,0.018,0.000,0.028,0.007,0.000).The incidence of pulmonary infection, fever and nausea and vomiting the probability in Western medicine group is higher than that of control group (t=11.782,8.456,4.036, P=0.000,0.004,0.045).The probability of adverse reaction of traditional Chinese medicine is lower than that of western medicine group.ConclusionShenmabiejia combined with CAG chemotherapy is superior to docetaxel combined with CAG chemotherapy for elderly patients with AML.

Objective To explore the effect of damage control surgery (DCS) in the treatment of severe electric burn. Methods Retrospective analysis on clinical data of 45 patients with severe electric burn was con-ducted. According to implementing DCS or not , patients were separated into DCS group and control group. In DCS group, tangential excision and transplanted xenogenic acellular dermal matrix was conducted for severe electric burn cases with deep Ⅱ degree wound, and escharectomy and VSD dressing for Ⅲ~Ⅳ degree electric contact burn wound at the first stage then skin-grafting or skin flap-grafting on the secong stage was applied. For control group , debridement, tangential excision or escharectomy and skin-grafting or skin flap-grafting to close the wound were conducted. We compared the difference in terms of operation time, length of stay, disability rate, mortality and complications between 2 groups. Results The operation time, incidince of disability and complications in DCS Group obviously decreased but there was no difference in length of stay and mortality in both groups. Conclusion DCS is effective for reducing complications and optimizing therapeutic effect for severe electric burn patients.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of an outbreak of Chikungunya fever (CHIK) in Ruili city at Sino-Myanmar border area in Yunnan province, China, 2019.Methods:The data of CHIK cases in Ruili city were collected. Serum samples were collected from acute phase of the patients for the detection of the viral nucleic acid with real-time reverse transcription PCR assay.Results:A total of 121 CHIK cases (laboratory-confirmed cases) were reported in Ruili city in 2019, in which 98 were indigenous cases (80.99%) including 2 pregnant women and 3 neonatal cases (twin boys and 1 girl) were observed with vertical mother-to-child transmission), and 23 were imported cases (19.01%) from Myanmar. CHIK mainly occurred in Urban area (Mengmao town) and port area (Jiegao development zone) of Ruili city. The epidemic of CHIK lasted from September to November. The epidemic peak was in October (74.38%). The majority of patients were aged from 20—59 years (77.69%), in addition to 3 cases of mother-to-child transmission, the youngest was 3 months and the oldest 72 year-old. The male to female ratio was 1∶1.28 (53∶68). Occupational distribution of CHIK cases was mainly for the commercial service personnel (33.06%), home workers and unemployed persons (21.49%) and retiree (11.57%).Conclusions:During the outbreak of CHIK in Ruili in 2019, both indigenous and imported cases were detected. The imported CHIK cases from Myanmar were the main sources for local transmission of CHIK in Ruili city. This is the first time that a local epidemic of CHIK has occurred in Yunnan Province. It is necessary to strengthen control of the cross-border spread of CHIK in this area.

Diabetes mellitus(DM)is a disease syndrome characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia.A long-term high-glucose environment leads to reactive oxygen species(ROS)production and nuclear DNA damage.Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell(HUcMSC)infusion induces significant antidiabetic effects in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)rats.Insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF1)receptor(IGF1R)is important in promoting glucose metabolism in diabetes;however,the mechanism by which HUcMSC can treat diabetes through IGF1R and DNA damage repair remains unclear.In this study,a DM rat model was induced with high-fat diet feeding and streptozotocin(STZ)administration and rats were infused four times with HUcMSC.Blood glucose,interleukin-6(IL-6),IL-10,glomerular basement membrane,and renal function were examined.Proteins that interacted with IGF1R were determined through coimmunoprecipitation assays.The expression of IGF1R,phosphorylated checkpoint kinase 2(p-CHK2),and phosphorylated protein 53(p-p53)was examined using immunohistochemistry(IHC)and western blot analysis.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to determine the serum levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine(8-OHdG).Flow cytometry experiments were used to detect the surface markers of HUcMSC.The identification of the morphology and phenotype of HUcMSC was performed by way of oil red"O"staining and Alizarin red staining.DM rats exhibited abnormal blood glucose and IL-6/10 levels and renal function changes in the glomerular basement membrane,increased the expression of IGF1 and IGF1R.IGF1R interacted with CHK2,and the expression of p-CHK2 was significantly decreased in IGF1R-knockdown cells.When cisplatin was used to induce DNA damage,the expression of p-CHK2 was higher than that in the IGF1R-knockdown group without cisplatin treatment.HUcMSC infusion ameliorated abnormalities and preserved kidney structure and function in DM rats.The expression of IGF1,IGF1R,p-CHK2,and p-p53,and the level of 8-OHdG in the DM group increased significantly compared with those in the control group,and decreased after HUcMSC treatment.Our results suggested that IGF1R could interact with CHK2 and mediate DNA damage.HUcMSC infusion protected against kidney injury in DM rats.The underlying mechanisms may include HUcMSC-mediated enhancement of diabetes treatment via the IGF1R-CHK2-p53 signalling pathway.
