BACKGROUND:Titanium mesh has good clinical effect in repairing skul defects, but due to the lack of bone induction ability, the titanium mesh has a poor integration with the bone tissue. OBJECTIVE:To observe the biological properties of the gradient bioactive coating materials on the titanium surface in the skul repair. METHODS: Osteoblasts were co-cultured with the titanium mesh with or without gradient bioactive coatings for 14 days, and then cel proliferation was detected using MTT method. Seventy-one patients with skul defects were enroled, including 43 males and 28 females, aged 15-60 years, and were subjected to skul repair using the titanium mesh with (observation group, n=3) or without (control group, n=38) gradient bioactive coatings. During the postoperative folow-up of 12 months, the repairing effects and adverse reactions were observed in the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In vitrocel culture: the cel proliferative ability was increased significantly in the observation group as compared with the control group at 8, 10, 12 and 14 days after cel culture. (2)In vivo repair: the hospital stay and wound healing time in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P< 0.05), and at the final folow-up, the postoperative recovery effect was significantly higher in the observation group than the control group (P < 0.05). The titanium meshes were fixed firmly in the two groups, with no floating, infection and exposure. These results show that the titanium mesh with gradient bioactive coating has good biocompatibility and osteoinduction capacity.

Objective To evaluate the effect of esophagofundostomy combined with devascularization for the treatment of portal hypertension.Methods From February 2009 to August 2013,30 cases (research group) underwent esophagofundostomy combined with devascularization,while 56 cases (control group) were treated by devascularization only.Splenectomy was performed in all patients.Results There was no perioperative mortality in either group.The difference of postoperative serum bilirubin,albumin and blood platelet was not statistically significant (t =1.13、0.23、1.53,all P ＞ 0.05) ; The incidence of hepatic encephalopathy in research group and control group was 3％ and 11％,respectively,three years mortality was 14％ and 24％,respectively (x2 =0.61、1.22,all P ＞0.05).The rebleeding rate in research group was lower than control group,there was a significant difference (x2 =4.61,P ＜ 0.05).Research group was superior to control group in improving esophageal-gastric varices and there was a significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Compared with devascularization,esophagofundostomy combined with devascularization is more effective in reducing esophageal-gastric varices and prevention of rebleeding.

Objective To evaluate the mechanism of altered gastrointestinal motility in portal hypertensive rats. Methods Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups:sham- operation control (SO, n=8), prehepatic portal hypertension by partial stenosis of the portal vein (PHPH, n=8 ), intrahepatic portal hypertension induced by injection of CCl 4 (IHPH, n=8), and intrahepatic portal hypertension with portacaval shunt (IHPH-PCS, n=8). Gastrointestinal myoelectrical activity and motility were monitored. Gastrointestinal hormones were measured with radioimmunoassay.Results Compared with SO rats, gastrointestinal motor index(MI) were reduced and abnormal myoelectrical activity were recorded (P

Objective: Small-cell esophageal cancer (SCEC) is a rare malignant tumor. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been considered as standard treatments for limited-stage SCEC (LS-SCEC). This study aimed to analyze the comprehensive treatment and prognosis of extensive-stage SCEC (ES-SCEC). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 35 Patients with ES-SCEC from the Cancer Hospital of Tianjin Medical University between January 1989 and April 2012. Results:A total of 33 patients (94.3%) participated in follow-up visits. The overall survival of the patients ranged between 0.6 and 42.4 months with a median of 9.5 months. All of the patients suffered from extensive metastasis. Among these patients, 33 manifested metastasis at diagnosis and 2 showed metastasis after surgery. One-and two-year survival rates were 27.2%(9/33) and 9.0%(3/33), respectively. Univariate and mul-tivariate analysis results revealed that the number of chemotherapy cycles (≥4) is a risk factor of OS (P=0.02) and the only indepen-dent risk factor (P=0.049). Conclusions:ES-SCEC is a malignant tumor with poor prognosis. Radiotherapy could not improve patient survival. Chemotherapy combined other therapeutic procedures could be considered as an effective treatment.

Objective To investigate the clinical therapeutic effect of Chaishi fever particles on patients with epidemic encephalitis B and to study the machanism of anti-inflammatory.Methods One hundred and twenty one patients with epidemic encephalitis B admitted to the Second Clinical Medical College of Henan University of Chinese Medicine from January 2014 to May 2017 were enrolled, and they were divided into a routine treatment group (60 cases) and a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment group (61 cases) by random number table. The patients in routine treatment group were given symptomatic support and comprehensive treatment for 15 days, while those in the TCM treatment group were given as that of routine group with the addition of Chaishi fever particles 8 g, 4 times every day, orally taken for consecutive 15 days. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL-1β, IL-10) in the serum of two groups were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the clinical therapeutic effect, complications and sequelae in two groups after treatment were observed.Results Compared with the routine treatment group, after treatment the time of body temperature recovering normal (days: 5.8±1.2 vs. 7.5±1.7), the coma time (days: 5.5±1.3 vs. 6.8±1.6), the remission time of convulsion (days: 5.2±1.4 vs. 6.5±1.5), and the length of stay in hospital (days: 22.6±1.9 vs. 25.2±1.8 ) were significantly shorter in TCM treatment group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum tumor TNF-α and IL-1β were decreased, IL-10 was increased in both groups, moreover, compared with the routine treatment group, the changes were more obvious in TCM treatment group [TNF-α (μg/L): 11.4±3.6 vs. 14.6±3.5, IL-1β (μg/L): 22.3±6.2 vs. 26.2±5.6, IL-10 (μg/L): 225.2±19.2 vs. 186.2±21.5, allP < 0.05]. In addition, compared with the routine treatment group, the total effective rate was higher [98.3% (60/61) vs. 90.0% (54/60),P < 0.05], and the incidence of sequelae was lower [1.64% (1/61) vs. 13.3% (8/60),P < 0.05] in TCM treatment group.Conclusion The Chaishi fever particles can effectively treat the patients with epidemic encephalitis B and the action is related to the inhibition of inflammatory reaction.

Objective:To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of XRCC3 on esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) radiotherapy response. Methods:Expression levels of XRCC3 were detected by reverse transcription PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. We knocked down XRCC3 with lentiviral infection in ESCC cells. Cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytom-etry. DNA damage and telomere dysfunction-induced foci were determined by immunofluorescence. Results:The expression levels of XRCC3 in ESCC cells and tissues were higher than those in normal esophageal epithelial cells and corresponding adjacent noncancer-ous esophageal tissues. Knockdown of XRCC3 in ESCC cells substantially increased the therapeutic efficacy of radiation. We demon-strated that the radiation resistance of XRCC3 was attributed to the XRCC3-maintaining telomere stability, which reduced ESCC cell death through radiation-induced apoptosis. Conclusion: Our data suggested that XRCC3 protects ESCC cells from ionizing radia-tion-induced DNA damage and death by enhancing telomere stability. Thus, XRCC3 can be used as a promising therapeutic target for ESCCs.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of active immunotherapy combined with endometrial local injury in women with recurrent spontaneous abortion( RSA) caused by negative-blocking antibodies.Methods 112 patients diagnosed RSA with negative -blocking antibodies were randomly divided into the treatment group (62 patients) and control group (50 patients).The patients in treatment group were treated by active immunotherapy combined with endometrial local injury.The patients in the control group were treated by active immunotherapy.The pregnancy outcomes were observed.Results The rate of pregnancy was 93.54%in treatment group,and 80.00%in the control group.The success pregnancy rate in the treatment group was significant higher than that in the control group (χ2 =4.65,P<0.05).The rate of abortion was 3.44% in the treatment group and 12.50% in the control group.It was significant lower than the control group(χ2 =4.90,P<0.05).After active immunotherapy,the pregnan-cy rate was 90.58%in positive-blocking antibodies group and 77.77%in negative-blocking antibodies group.The success pregnancy rate in positive-blocking antibodies group was significant higher than that in negative-blocking antibodies group (χ2 =4.27,P<0.05).The abortion rate in positive-blocking antibodies group was 2.60% and 19.05%in negative-blocking antibodies group.It was significant lower than that in negative-blocking antibodies group (χ2 =6.14,P<0.05).Conclusion It can significantly improve pregnant outcome and reduce the abortion rate with active immunotherapy combined with endometrial local injury in women with recurrent spontaneous abortion ( RSA) caused by negative-blocking antibodies.

Objective To investigate the impacts of pyruvate kinase M2 isoform (PKM2) silencing on the radiosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549 cells) and the radiation synergy of xenografts, and to explore their mechanisms. Methods Plasmid pshRNA?PKM2 for interference with PKM2 expression was transfected into A549 cells, and empty vector?transfected cells and untransfected cells were set as con?trols. The silencing efficiency of pshRNA?PKM2 and the expression level of microtubule?associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3) were measured by Western blot assay. The radiosensitizing effects in A549 cells and xen?ografts after PKM2 silencing were determined by colony?forming assay and xenografts growth curves. Autoph?agy formation in A549 cells and xenografts was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy, and the ex?pression level of PKM2 in xenografts was measured by immunohistochemistry. Comparison between groups was made by Student′s t?test, and the body weights of nude mice and xenograft volumes were subjected to a?nalysis of variance for continuous variables. Results Stable A549 cell lines transfected with pshRNA?PKM2 were successfully produced. Transfection with pshRNA?PKM2 significantly down?regulated PKM2 expression in A549 cells and xenografts (P= 0?? 001;P= 0?? 000). The sensitizer enhancement ratios for A549 cells and xenografts were 1?? 47 and 2?? 00, respectively. Interference with PKM2 expression enhanced radiation?in duced autophagy formation and significantly increased the ratio of LC 3 ? II / I ( P= 0.000 1 ) . Conclusions Silencing of PKM2 expression may enhance the radiosensitivity of A549 cells and xenografts by regulation of autophagy, which holds promise for becoming an effective radiosensitizing target for non?small cell lung canc?er, but still needs to be confirmed by further studies.
