Objective To evaluate TriVex based transilluminated powered phlebectomy (TIPP)three-stage management for lower limb venous ulcers.Methods This retrospective study included 86 patients with 103 diseased limbs treated in our hospital from October 2005 to July 2013.All received TriVex TIPP three-stage management.Results After therapy there was no acute cellulitis,skin necrosis nor lower limb deep venous thrombosis.There were 2 cases of subcutaneous ecchymosis,1 case of subcutaneous hematoma,1 case of skin abnormal sensation and 1 case of subcutaneous induration.Ulcers healed within one month postoperation in all cases,while skin abnomalities were alleviated with no ulcer recurrence during the follow-up ranging from 4 to 48 months.Conclusions TriVex TIPP centered threestage management is a good option for lower limb venous ulcer,with shortened healing time,low recurrence rate.

0.05).Both HMGB1 mRNA expression and HMGB1 protein level were remarkably higher in LPS treatment group than that in control group(P0.05).CONCLUSION:RPM inhibits HMGB1 expression not only by directly suppressing STAT3 activation,but also by indirectly reducing TNF-? level.

Objective:To select suitable chemotherapy for cervical cancer patients by ATP-tumor chemosensitivity assay.
Methods:Seventy-two hospitalized patients with cervical cancer between July 2007 and October 2009 were enrolled. The patients were randomly divided into a trial group (n=35) and a control group(n=37). ATP-TCA was used to detect the sensitivity of 35 samples of cervical cancer in the trial group to 6 combined chemotherapy regimens. The chemotherapy regimen in the trial group was confirmed by the results of susceptibility testing and that in the control group was confirmed by clinical experience. One-year recurrence rate and 3-year survival rate of two groups were compared after 3 year follow-up.
Results:ATP-TCA was measured in 32 of the 35 patients in the trial group. The sensitive patients for paclitaxel+carboplatin, paclitaxel+oxaliplatin, bleomycin+ifosfamide+cisplatin, bleomycin+vincristine+cisplatin, fluorouracil+cisplatin, and gemcitabine+cisplatin were 20, 18, 17, 18, 17, and 21, respectively. There was no significant difference in the 1-year recurrence between the two groups (P>0.05), while the 3-year survivors in the trial group were more than those in the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion:ATP-TCA method is good for patients with cervical cancer because it is sensitive, effective, and individualized.

Objective To investigate the change of the content of suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS-1) in the liver of septic mice and its working mechanism.Methods Adopted Cecalligation and puncture (CLP) to create models of sepsis and divided randomly adult male BALB/c mice into 8 groups,including normal controlled group,sham-operated group,and the killed groups 2 hours,6 hours,12 hours,24 hours and 48 hours after operation.After extracting the RNA and protein from the liver tissue of the mouse groups,reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was adopted to determine the relative content of SOCS-1 mRNA in the tissue,Western blot was adopted to determine the relative content of protein and the SPSS statistics software was adopted to calculate the correlation.Then observed the pathological change of liver tissues,and detected SOCS-1 protein expression by immunohistochemistry.Results After CLP suergery,the expression of SOCS-1 on gene degree in the liver and the expression of SOCS1 on protein degree in the liver increased rapidly at the 6th hour ( P ＜ 0.05 ),with the former reaching peak ( P ＜ 0.05 ) at the 24th hour and the latter remaining high all the time.There were pathological changes such as fatty degeneration and necrosis in the septic liver tissue,hepatic SOCS-1 protein expression could be detected by immunohistochemistry.Conclusions CLP induced sepsis could lead to the increase of the expression of SOCS1 in the liver.

Objective To investigate the dynamic expression of SOCS-3, TNF-α in live and spleen of mice induced by AOPP, and to discuss the mechanism of MODS induced by AOPP, so that to give some intervention method over MODS in the future. Method Thirty-six adult BALB/c mice were divided into 3 groups randomly: AOPP group (n=12). Water normal group (n=12) and normal group (n=12). After post poison 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours,the fiver and the spleen tissue were taken out. The expression of SOCS-3 and TNF-α were detected by RT-PCR. And data were analyzed with ANOVA. Results After AOPP of 2,6,12,24 hours, the mRNA expression of SOCS-3 increased obviously in the liver and spleen compared with the normal group (P<0.05), it reached peak at the 24th hour in liver,and reached peak at the 12th hour in spleen, then descended at 24th hour (P<0.05). The mRNA expression of TNF-α increased obviously in the liver and spleen than normal group (P<0.05), and reached peak at the 12th hour,then descended at 24th hour (P<0.05), the electro-phoresis image of RNA was 5 s 15 s and 30 s,RT-PCR amplification of β-actin showed,the expression of SOCS-3, reached peak at the 24th hour in liver and it reached peak at the 12th hour in spleen, then descended at 24th hour (P<0.05), TNF-α reached peak at 12th hour in the liver and spleen, then descended at 24th hour. By statistic analysis, positive correlation was indicated among SOCS-3 and TNF-α mRNA expression in liver (y=0.089+0.758x, r=0.939, F=252. 168, P<0.01) positive correlation was indicated among socs-3 and TNF-α mRNA expression in spleen (y=0.057+0.361x,r=0.953,F=336.122, P<0.01). Conclusions At different point of time after Aopp,the mRNA expression of socs-3 and TNF-α showe the same trend in liver and spleen,the levels of SOCS-3, TNF-α all increase significenfly.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features,treatment and prognosis of leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD).Methods A total of 10 patients suffered from LPD after laparoscopic uterine myomectomy were collected in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2012 to September 2016,and all clinical database were retrospectively analyzed.Results (1)Clinical features:the age of 10 cases was 25-50 years old,and 8 cases of them were in child-bearing age,while 2 cases were in perimenopausal period.Of 10 cases,2 cases manifested as discontinuous lower abdominal pain,and the other cases were seen the doctor for the examinations found tumors of pelvis or abdomen.All 10 cases had a history of laparoscopic uterine myomectomy under went power morcellation with an average of (4.0±2.2) years (range 1.3 to 8.1 years),2 cases of them had a history of oral hormone treatment after the first myoma morcellation.(2) Treatment methods and postoperative pathologic diagnosis:during intraoperative exploration,LPD nodules were most distributed in Douglas pouch (10 cases),and next in mesentery (7 cases),abdominal peritoneum (6 cases) and omentum majus (4 cases),etc.Seven of the 8 cases of child-bearing age were performed laparoscopic LPD nodules removal,1 case gone combined with laparotomy and resecting LPD nodules;2 cases in perimenopausal period done laparotomy oophorotomy and resected all LPD nodules and omentum.(3) Postoperative relapse and reproductive outcomes:the follow-up time of all cases was 2.8 years,and no recurrence was found during the follow-up period;2 cases had natural conception and term vaginal birth during the follow-up period.Conclusions LPD is mainly related to iatrogenic planting and spreading,which is a benign disease and characterized by multiple smooth muscle nodules throughout abdominopelvic cavity,and the nodules of LPD is commonly located in Douglas pouch,mesenteric and omentaum majus,etc.The preferred method of LPD should be individual operative treatment according to different situations,and in which patients may be have better prognosis.

AIM: To investigate that nicotine inhibits HMGB1 expression and release in RAW264.7 cells.METHODS: (1) RAW264.7 cells were cultured in 6 wells plate, treated with 250 μg/L LPS and 1 μmol/L or 10 μmol/L nicotine, in which the cells treated with or without 250 μg/L LPS were regarded as nicotine 1 group (N1), nicotine 2 group (N2), LPS group (LPS) and control group (C), respectively. HMGB1 protein in the cell culture media and in cell nuclear was examined by Western blotting and the cellular HMGB1 mRNA level was detected by RT-PCR. (2) Transfected with antisense RNA or sense RNA of α~7 subunit-containing nicotinic receptor (α~7nAChR), RAW264.7 cells were treated with 250 μg/L LPS and 10 μmol/L nicotine, HMGB1 protein in the culture media was also tested by Western blotting.RESULTS: (1) HMGB1 mRNA level in C group was low (1 659.20±121.05) and no significant statistical difference among groups of N1, N2 and LPS was observed (P>0.05). (2) Higher HMGB1 accumulation in the cell culture media was detected in LPS group (445.34±28.52) than that in C group. Compared to LPS group, both N1 and N2 groups distinctly attenuated HMGB1 accumulation in culture media (P<0.05). (3) Nuclear HMGB1 accumulation was lower in LPS group than that in C group, and two different nicotine concentrations markedly increased the nuclear HMGB1 accumulation compared to LPS group (P<0.05). (4) No significant difference of HMGB1 levels in culture media between antisense RNA group and LPS group was observed (P>0.05). In sense RNA group, however, HMGB1 level was observably reduced compared to antisense group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The present results suggest that nicotine dramatically inhibits RAW264.7 cell nuclear HMGB1 translocation and extracellular release, and this effect relies on α~7nAch receptor expression.

Objective To study the clinical characteristic of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients younger than 15 years old and to explore the influence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on them. Methods The clinical information, including demographic profile, clinical stages of the disease, laboratory test results and developmental status were gathered from 275 antiretroviral therapy naive patients. Results Seventy eight point nine percent patients were infected by vertical transmission. Sixteen percent were infected by receiving blood products. The average age was (7.6±3. 7) years, with 5 cases younger than 1 year old, 104 cases ranging from 1 - 5 years and 166 cases elder than 6 years. Seventy point one percent patients were classified as stage 3 or 4 according to World Health Organization definitions. The average CD4 count was ( 137 ± 159 )/μL, ( 304 ± 317 ) /μL and ( 1 246 ± 776 )/μL respectively in children elder than 6 years, ranging from 1 to 5 years and younger than 1 year. One hundred and eighty one cases suffered from anemia on different severity grading. The most common HIV related symdromes included persistent fever, skin damage, persistent diarrhea, oral candidiasis and recurrent upper respiratory tract infection. Among these infected children, 49. 6% showed height lower than x - 2s and 19. 9% showed weight lower than x - 2s. Conclusions Most survival pediatric AIDS patients are elder than 6 years. HIV infection can significantly affect the children's immune system function,growth and development.

Objective:To investigate and compare the therapeutic effect of Foley catheter balloon dilation and the traditional open reduction in the treatment of intussusception in children.Methods:A total of 68 children with intussusception treated by Foley catheter balloon dilatation by laparoscopic surgery or traditional open reduction in Department of Pediatric Surgery, the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from August 2015 to July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Among them, there were 32 cases in the Foley catheter group and 36 cases in the traditional laparotomy group.Foley catheter group were treated with laparoscopic Foley catheter balloon dilatation, while the traditional open group were treated with traditional open surgery which was performed with finger dilatation.The results of surgical treatment, postoperative recovery, short-term complications, patient satisfaction and long-term complications were compared between the two groups.Results:Among the indexes of surgical treatment effect, the operation time[(0.4±1.1) h], intraoperative bleeding volume[(10.2±3.4) mL], incision size[(0.5±0.4) cm] and incidence of the rupture of intestine[6.3%(2/32 cases)] in the Foley catheter group were significantly lower than those in the traditional open group[(1.3±2.9) h, (40.5±2.1) mL, (5.1±0.7) cm, 30.6%(11/36 cases)], and the differences were statistically significant (all P< 0.05). Among the indexes of postoperative recovery and short-term complications, recovery time of gastrointestinal function[(1.2±3.1) d], length of hospital stay[(6.7±1.8) d], incidence of incision infection[9.4%(3/32 cases)]and incidence of incisional hernia(0) in the Foley catheter group were significantly lower than those in the traditional open group[(3.3±6.4) d, (7.3±0.9) d, 36.1%(13/36 cases), 16.7%(6/36 cases)], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Among the indexes of family satisfaction and long-term complications, the score of family satisfaction in the Foley catheter group [(8.7±1.2) scores]was significantly higher than that in the traditional open group[(6.6±3.1) scores], and the incidence of adhesive intestinal obst-ructionin the Foley catheter group (0)was significantly lower than that in the traditional open group[0 vs.19.4%(7/36例)], and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with traditional open reduction in the treatment of intussusception in children, Foley catheter balloon dilation has the advantages of short operation time, safe operation, low incidence of intestinal injury, less bleeding, and so on, and also has the advantages of small incision, fast recovery, short hospitalization time, high satisfaction of parents.In addition, the Foley catheter balloon dilation has a lower incidence of incisional infection, incisional hernia, postoperative intestinal adhesion and other complications.
