Objective To study the effect of the long-term administration of hemocoagulasein vitro and in vivo,whether it may cause hypofibrinogenemia and changes of cytokine interleukin-6(IL-6) expression level which related to fibrinogen synthesis.Methods Totally 50 healthy subjects pooled plasma was chose in vitro experiments,which was divided into 7 groups.After that,added various of dilutions of injection hemocoagulase and incubated at 37 ℃,detected FIB concentration every 12 h.In vivo experiments,80 rats with six-week old were randomly divided into 4 groups:negative control group,high-dose group,middle-dose group,low-dose group,After 3 weeks administration,the serum level of Ⅴfactor,Ⅷ factor,PT,activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),FIB,IL-6 was detected.Results Hemocoagulase in vitro had a strong role to reduce fibrin,and showed a significant dose-dependent and time-dependent;Hemocoagulase prolonged low-dose use might reduce the concentration of FIB in mice,but theⅤfactor,Ⅷ factor,PT,APTT,TT were not significantly affected.Compared with the negative control group,FIB and IL-6 concentration decreased in high-dose group,middle-dose group,low-dose group and had statistically significant differences (P<0.05);The level of FIB among the groups had statistically significant differences (P<0.05).The APTT of the middle and high dose groups was slightly prolonged,which was significantly different from that of the negative control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Hemocoagulase has a strong effect to reduce the concentration of fibrin,when there is a long-term medication,fibrin concentration of the patient should be closely monitored,hemocoagulase not only directly decomposed fibrin,but also may affect the synthesis of IL-6,the specific mechanism needs further study.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the expression level and clinical significance of serum liver fibrosis-associated lncRNA1 (lnc-LFAR1) in patients with chronic hepatitis B cirrhosis, aiming to analyze its correlation with interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and liver function. Methods Patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) cirrhosis and CHB diagnosed and treated in Dongguan City People's Hospital from March 2016 to December 2019 were selected and divided into the liver cirrhosis group (n=80) and the CHB group (n=80), and 80 healthy people with physical examination during the same period were selected as healthy group. The serum levels of lnc-LFAR1, interleukin-6 (IL-6), albumin (ALB), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and liver function indicators, including albumin (ALB) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were measured and analyzed. The correlation between serum lnc-LFAR1 expression level and IL-6, IL-1β was assessed, and the levels of lnc-LFAR1, IL-6, IL-1β, ALB and ALT were compared among patients with CHB cirrhosis of different Child-Pugh grades. Results The serum levels of lnc-LFAR1, IL-6, IL-1β and ALT in the patients with liver cirrhosis [(1.85± 0.62), (41.76±13.92) ng/mL, (7.78±1.95) pg/mL, (148.37±29.67) U/L] were higher than those in the CHB group [(1.42±0.47), (23.56± 7.85) ng/mL, (5.42±1.41) pg/mL, (87.59±17.52) U/L] and the healthy group [(1.01±0.34), (6.70±2.23) ng/mL, (3.13± 0.78) pg/mL, (15.44±3.10) U/L] (P<0.05), while the ALB levels (30.54±3.82) g/L were lower than those in the CHB group (37.27±4.34) g/L and the healthy group (45.26±5.66) g/L (P<0.05). Serum lnc-LFAR1, IL-6, IL-1β and ALT levels in the CHB group were higher than those in the healthy group (P<0.05), and ALB levels were lower than those in the healthy group (P<0.05); the serum levels of lnc-LFAR1, IL-6, IL-1β in patients with CHB cirrhosis were negatively correlated with ALB (P<0.05), and positively correlated with ALT (P<0.05); the serum expression level of lnc-LFAR1 in patients with CHB cirrhosis was positively correlated with IL-6 and IL-1β (r=0.598, 0.571, P<0.05); with the increase of Child-Pugh grade, the serum levels of lnc-LFAR1, IL-6, IL-1β, and ALT in patients with CHB cirrhosis gradually increased (P<0.05), and the level of ALB gradually decreased (P<0.05). Conclusions Serum lnc-LFAR1 expression level is higher in patients with CHB cirrhosis, which is obviously related to IL-6, IL-1β, ALB and ALT. Therefore, the evaluation of serum lnc-LFAR1 expression level is helpful in the clinical assessment of the condition of CHB cirrhosis patients.

OBJECTIVE:
Metatarsophalangeal joint is an important joint for daily weight-bearing walking. Osteoarthritis, osteochondrosis of the metatarsal head, rheumatoid arthritis can often cause the destruction of 2-5 metatarsophalangeal joint, leading to pain, limited joint movement and toe deformities, severely affecting the forefoot function. The purpose of this study is to report the results of middle-long term follow-up after performing Swanson double-stem silicon implant arthroplasty in patients with diseases of 2-5 metatarsophalangeal joint.
METHODS:
From January 2010 to October 2015, 21 patients with 2-5 metatarsophalangeal joint replacement were performed with Swanson double-stem silicone prosthesis. In the study, 16 cases were successfully followed up, 2 men and 14 women with an average age (66.7±5.5) years. There were 9 cases diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, 5 cases with severe osteoarthritis and 2 cases with osteochondrosis of the metatarsal head. The American Association of foot and ankle surgery Maryland foot scoring system and visual analogue score (VAS) were used to evaluate the walking function, metatarsophalangeal joint mobility and pain degree before and after surgery.
RESULTS:
The follow-up time ranged from 17 months to 5 years, with an average of 3.2 years. According to Maryland foot scoring system of the American Association of foot and ankle surgery, the preoperative score was (60.69±6.12) points and postoperative score was (88.13±5.84) points. Range of motion of metatarsophalangeal joint: preoperative: back extension 5.4°±3.1°, plantar flexion 4.4°±2.7°; postoperative: back extension 15.7°±4.5°, plantar flexion 12.2°±4.3°, the motion of 2-5 metatarsophalangeal joint after operation was significantly improved compared with that before operation (P < 0.01). The preoperative VAS was (6.8±0.9) points and the last follow-up was (2.3±0.8) points, the pain symptom of metatarsophalangeal joint was improved obviously after operation. The postoperative score was significantly higher than the preoperative score according to Maryland foot scoring system (P < 0.01), the excellent rate was 81.3%.
CONCLUSIONS
With the advantages of alleviating pain, preserving the length and alignment of metatarsophalangeal joint, improving the function of walking, and correcting the deformity, Swanson double-stem silicon implant arthroplasty is a reproducible and safe option for the reconstruction of the 2-5 metatarsophalangeal joint. However, there is still some probability of adverse reactions and still room for improvement.

Objective To localize the sinoatrial node (SAN) of the newborn rabbits in vivo and cut it for purifying cultivation and study the morophologic characters of primary cultured pacemaker cells of SAN under light microscope and transmissional electron microscope. Methods Hearts of the newborn rabbits were embedded in paraffin for HE-staining and observed the location, form of SAN under optical microscope; SAN cells isolated from neonatal rabbits cultured and purified with the method of differential attachment and BrdU-treatment.Results SAN localized in the anterior wall of the superior vena cava and the posterior-lateral atrial wall.There was about 0.32 mm between its lowest point and sulcus terminalis. Three distinctly different types of cells were observed among the cultured cells of SAN: spindle, araneiform and polygon. The spindle cells covered the greatest proportion of the cultured cells of SAN (59.6%?7.3%). The frequency of spontaneous contraction of spindle cells was the highest among the constrcting cells (145 ?9)time/min. The results of ultrastructure observation showed that myofibrils and other organelles in spindle cells were poorly organized and significantly decreased in number compared with araneiform cells. There was no significant difference between araneiform cells isolated from SAN and from atrial muscle.Conclusion Among the cultured cells from neonatal rabbits SAN, the spindle cells are the pacemaker cells of SAN.
