Objective To study the effect of exogenous non secreted human urokinase type plasminogen activator(uPA) gene on the production of collagen in activated hepatic stellate cells(HSC) after delivery by replication deficient recombinant adenovirus vector. Methods Non secreted human uPA was inserted into the replication deficient recombinant adenoviruses AduPA in bacteria. After infected by AduPA, the expression of uPA in HSC cell line HSC T6 was detected by Northern blot and immunocytochemical staining, and the level of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP 2) in the supernatant of cultured HSC T6 cells was measured by ELISA. In addition, immunocytofluorescent staining was carried out to evaluate the effect of AduPA on the production of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ in HSC after exogenous uPA gene delivery. Results 5?10 11 efu/ml titer of AduPA was obtained in the HSC infected with the recombinated virus. Northern blot and immunocytochemical staining showed that the expression of uPA in HSC increased significantly on the third day after infection with the AduPA. The level of MMP 2 in the supernatant of the cultured HSC was (274.45?7.63) pg/ml, which was higher than that in the control [(145.85?6.58) pg/ml, P

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive surgery and traditional surgery in the treatment of multiple benign mammary lumps.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to select 158 patients with multiple benign breast masses admitted to Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College from July 2016 to February 2018,all of them were female,average age was (28.3 ± 6.6) years old,range from 19 to 51 years old.The patients were divided into minimally invasive group (n =122) and traditional group (n =36) according to different surgical methods.The minimally invasive group was treated by minimally invasive rotary excision,while the traditional group was treated by traditional surgery.The operation time,number of incisions,average length of incisions,cumulative length of incisions and healing time of incisions were compared between the two groups.The incidence of local hematoma,local infection,breast deformity and local residual were compared after operation,and the satisfaction of the two groups was aslo compared.Normal distribution measurements were expressed by mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD),independent sample t test was used for inter-group comparison;non-normal distribution measurements were expressed by median (quartile spacing) [M(P25,P75)],Mann-Whitney U test was used for inter-group comparison.Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability test was used to compare the count data between the two groups.Results As compared to the traditional group,the minimally invasive group had shorter operation time (20.0 min vs 40.0 min,Z =-8.590,P ＜ 0.001),less number of incisions (1.0 vs 2.0,Z =-4.423,P ＜0.001),smaller average surgical incision length (3.8 mm vs 35.5 mm,Z =-9.211,P ＜ 0.001),smaller cumulative surgical incision length (4.0 mm vs 67.2 mm,Z =-9.130,P ＜ 0.001),quicker postoperative recovery (4.0 d vs 7.0 d,Z =-9.334,P ＜ 0.001).There were no significant differences between the two groups in incidence of postoperative hematoma (4.1％ vs 2.8％,x2 =0.000,P =1.000),incidence of infection (0 vs 2.8％,P =0.228),incidence of postoperative breast shape change (1.6％ vs 2.8％,x2 =0.000,P =1.000),and incidence of residual (0.8％ vs 0,P =1.000).Psychological satisfaction of patients in minimally invasive group (95.1％) was significantly higher than that in traditional group (58.3％),the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.001).Conclusions Compared with traditional surgery,the application of minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of multiple benign mammary lumps has many advantages,such as shorter operation time,less number of incisions,smaller surgical incision length,quicker postoperative recovery and higher satisfaction of patients after operation.It has not significantly increased postoperative complications.It is worthy of clinical application and promotion.

Objective To establish a simultaneous detection approach for 34 emerging contaminants(ECs)in tap water by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS).Human health risk assessment was performed according to the detection results from 43 tap water samples.Methods Tap water samples were concentrated and extracted by solid phase extraction,and then blown to near dry by nitrogen at 40℃.The sample extracts were dissolved in methanol-water solution(95:5,VN)to 0.5 mL for analyzing.Agilent Jet Stream Electrospray Ionization(AJS ESI)and the multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)mode were performed for MS to acquire the data of 34 ECs.A database including precursor ion,product ion and retention times was established accordingly.Results The average linear correlation coefficients(r)of 34 kinds of ECs was 0.995 9.The limits of detection were 0.01～0.60 ng/L and the recoveries were between 60.7％and 119.8％.The intra-group precisions were between 0.05％～9.89％and the intra-day precisions were between 0.20％～14.40％for the spiked samples.The method was applied to analyze 43 tap water samples and a total of 15 ECs were detected.According to the results,the detection rate of caffeine was the highest(84％),and the concentration range was ND～74.42 ng/L.Among all the ECs detected,1,2,3-benzotriazole had the highest concentration(ND～361.15 ng/L),where detection rate was 44％.Humans may be exposed to these ECs by drinking the tap water.The human health risk assessments of 12 kinds of ECs were carried out,however,the estimated risk was negligible(risk quotient＜0.01).Conclusion The method is simple,highly sensitive and selective,and could meet the detection needs of ECs at trace level in tap water.There was no human health risk posed for ECs identified in 43 tap water samples analyzed by this method.
