Objective: To observe the influence of different tocopherol isoforms on oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) or recombinant human C reactive protein (rhCRP) induced expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM 1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and to investigate the potential mechanisms and effects of different tocopherols on atherosclerosis. Methods: Cultured HUVECs were incubated with oxLDL,oxLDL+? tocopherol,oxLDL+? tocopherol,oxLDL+mixed tocopherols,rhCRP,rhCRP+? tocopherol,rhCRP+? tocopherol, rhCRP+mixed tocopherols for 24 hours, respectively. The ICAM 1 expressions of protein and mRNA were detected by cell enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), flow cytometric technique and RT-PCR. Results : Incubation of HUVECs with oxLDL or rhCRP for 24 hours significantly increased ICAM 1 expressions of proteins and mRNA . The different tocopherols inhibited oxLDL induced ICAM 1 expression in HUVECs in a concentration dependent manner(50-200 ?mol/L) and mixed tocopherols were more potent than ? tocopherol or ? tocopherol alone. However, rhCRP induced ICAM 1 expression in HUVECs was not inhibited by tocopherols. Conclusion :The different tocopherols inhibited oxLDL induced ICAM 1 expression in HUVECs and mixed tocopherols were more potent than ? tocopherol or ? tocopherol alone, which may be important for the beneficial effects of tocopherols on atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.

Objective To investigate the HBV reactivation status and clinic outcomes in the renal allograft recipients with inactive HBsAg carriers,and explore the preventive measures.Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical manifestation was processed in 88 cases of inactive HBsAg carriers before and after renal transplantation.Preoperative liver function in all cases was normal and serum HBsAg positive,HBV DNA＜106 copies/L.Tacrolimus (or cyclosporine A) + mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) + prednisone were given in prevention of rejection after transplantation.In 88 cases,56 cases were given nucleoside analogues (acid) for prophylactic antiviral therapy,in which 31 cases were given lamivudine (LAM) (LAM group),25 cases were given entecavir (ETV) (ETV group) ; The rest 32 cases were not given prophylactic antiviral therapy,only receiving routine liver-protecting therapy (inosine,glucurolactone) (control group).Incidence of HBV re-activation,liver function,response to treatment and the pathological changes of hepatic tissue were observed.Results During the follow-up period,the incidence of HBV reactivation in LAM group and ETV group was 45.2％ and 28.0％ respectively,significantly lower than in control group (84.4％,P＜ 0.05).In prophylactic treatment groups,HBV reactivation occurred later,liver function damage was milder,and HBV DNA load peak was lower (P＜0.05).In LAM group,HBV reactivation occurred in 14 cases,including 10 cases occurred during administration of LAM,and ETV treatment was given for about 2 months,serum HBV DNA levels in 7 cases were under detection line;in the rest 4 cases,HBV reactivation occurred in patients with treatment less than 1 year and noncompliance,who withdrew medicine blindly.After the original scheme of antiviral therapy was done,serum HBV DNA levels in 3 cases were under detection line,and the effect was not obvious in one case.In control group,HBV reactivation occurred in 27 cases.Fourteen cases therefore accepted nucleoside (acid) analogs antiviral therapy,and HBV DNA levels in 10 cases were under detection line.Histological examination revealed the liver with fibrotic cholestatic hepatitis changes in 9 patients,including 8 cases in control group,and 1 case in LAM group due to blind withdrawal of medicine.Conclus(i)on LAM and ETV prophylactic use may decrease the HBV reactivation rate in inactive HBsAg carriers after renal transplantation,reduce the severity of liver damage and the occurrence of fibrotic cholestatic hepatitis.

Objective To explore the impactof Lysosome-Associated Membrane Protein 3(LAMP3)on theproliferation,migration and angiogenesis of PC-3 cells.Methods LAMP3 expression in normal prostate epithelial cells and prostate cancer bone metastasis cells was detected using western blot and RT-PCR.Stable LAMP3-silenced PC-3 cells were constructed,and the effects of LAMP3 on proliferation,invasion,and migration of PC-3 cells were assessed using CCK8,scratch assay,and transwell assay,respectively.ELISA and angiogenesis assays were employed to examine the expression of VEGF and MMP9,as well as angiogenesis of HUVEC cells induced by PC-3 cells.Finally,WB and RT-PCR were used to detect the expression of VEGF,AKT/p-AKT.Results Our findings showed that the expression level of LAMP3 was significantly higherin prostate cellsthan in normal prostate epithelial cells,especially in PC-3 cells(P<0.05).We also found that silencing LAMP3 could inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of PC-3 cells,along with the expression of VEGF and MMP9 and the PC-3 cells-induced angiogenesis,and these results were statistically significant(P<0.05).Furthermore,LAMP3 downregulated the expression of VEGF and AKT/p-AKT in PC-3 cells.Conclusion LAMP3 can affect the proliferation,migrationand angiogenesis of PC-3 cells through the regulation of VEGF/AKT pathway.Thus,LAMP3 might be a potential thera-peutic target for prostate cancer bone metastasis.

BACKGROUND:With the further development of minimally invasive concepts,unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has become an important treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee;however,early postoperative pain adversely affects the recovery process,so effective analgesic measures are necessary.Femoral nerve block and cocktail therapy are common analgesic methods for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty,but there is a lack of studies confirming the analgesic effect and safety of their combined application. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the analgesic effect of cocktail therapy combined with femoral nerve block in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. METHODS:One hundred patients who received unicompartmental knee arthroplasty from October 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into a control group(n=50)and a study group(n=50)using a random number table method.The femoral nerve block was used in the control group,while cocktail therapy combined with femoral nerve block was used in the study group during unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.Postoperative analgesia effect,analgesic frequency of dezocine injection within 2 days after surgery,motion range of affected knee joint,KSS function scores,and the occurrence of postoperative adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Visual analog scale scores in the study group were lower than those in the control group at 12,24,and 48 hours after surgery(P<0.05).(2)The analgesic frequency of dezocine in the study group was less than that in the control group within 2 days after surgery(P<0.05).(3)The motion range in the study group was higher than that in the control group 1 and 3 days after surgery(P<0.05).On day 14 after surgery,there was no significant difference in motion range between the two groups(P>0.05).(4)The knee KSS score in the study group was higher than that in the control group at 2 weeks after surgery(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in knee KSS scores between the two groups from 6 weeks to 6 months after surgery(P>0.05).(5)The difference in the occurrence of adverse reactions within 14 days after surgery was not significant between the two groups(P>0.05).(6)These results show that the use of cocktail therapy combined with femoral nerve block in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty can effectively reduce postoperative pain,improve the analgesic effect,reduce the frequency of analgesic drugs,and improve motion range of the early affected knee joint of patients.

Medical ethics has a long history and rich connotations.It has developed from the simple "medical morality" of ancient times to the modem medical ethics.The basic principles of medical ethics include autonomy,non-maleficence,beneficence,justice,and so on.Researchers often conduct clinical researches in the balance between achievements and ethical norms.Clinical researchers of surgery should have a deep understanding of medical ethical principles and strictly abide by medical ethics.Ethics committee should strictly perform their duties and play the role of inspection and supervision.Modem medical knowledges should be popularized throughout the society to make clinical research correctly understood.Adhering principles of ethics first,people orientation and cooperation practice,with patients' benefit as evaluation criteria,balance of surgical "Dao" and "Shu" can be achieved.

ObjectiveTo explore the influence of excessive weight gain during pregnancy in pre-pregnancy overweight and obese women on pregnancy outcomes and neonatal conditions， and to provide scientific evidence for formulating weight management strategies before and during pregnancy and prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes. MethodsClinical data of 2 172 parturients collected from a community in Huangpu District from 2017 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed， and they were divided into pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity group （n=530）， normal pre-pregnancy weight group（n=937）， and underweight pre-pregnancy group（n=705） according to maternal precursor body mass index （BMI）. Based on their weight gain during pregnancy，the parturient were divided into moderate gestational weight gain （MGWG） group and excessive gestational weight gain （EGWG） group. Meanwhile， the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes such as postpartum hemorrhage， puerperal infection， placental abruption， premature rupture of membranes， mode of delivery， premature birth， stillbirth， fetal distress， admission to the intensive care unit （ICU）， macrosomia， and Apgar score， were recorded. Then the differences in pregnancy and neonatal outcomes between groups were compared. The effects of pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain on pregnancy outcomes and neonatal conditions was retrospectively analyzed. ResultsThe pre-pregnancy overweight and obese group had higher proportions of placental abruption， premature rupture of membranes， cesarean section， premature birth， fetal distress， and macrosomia compared to the normal pre-pregnancy weight group and the underweight pre-pregnancy group， with Apgar scores lower than the normal pre-pregnancy weight group and the underweight pre-pregnancy group （all P<0.05）. The EGWG group had higher proportions of postpartum hemorrhage， placental abruption， premature rupture of membranes， cesarean section， premature birth， fetal distress， admission to the ICU， and macrosomia than the MGWG group （all P<0.05）. In the pre-pregnancy overweight and obese group， the EGWG group had higher proportions of placental abruption， premature rupture of membranes， premature birth， fetal distress， admission to the ICU， and macrosomia than the MGWG group， with lower Apgar scores than the MGWG group （all P<0.05）. In the normal pre-pregnancy weight group， the EGWG group had higher proportions of placental abruption， premature rupture of membranes， premature birth， fetal distress， admission to the ICU， and macrosomia than the MGWG group （all P<0.05）. In the pre-pregnancy overweight and obese group， the EGWG group had higher proportions of premature rupture of membranes， cesarean section， premature birth， fetal distress， and macrosomia than the EGWG group in the normal pre-pregnancy weight group（all P<0.05）. Logistic regression analysis showed that EGWG in pre-pregnancy overweight and obese women was a risk factor for placental abruption （OR=2.971， 95%CI： 1.098‒8.042）， premature rupture of membranes （OR=4.662， 95%CI： 2.798‒7.770）， cesarean delivery （OR=1.375，95%CI： 1.260‒2.541）， premature birth （OR=4.249， 95%CI： 2.384‒7.573）， fetal distress （OR=3.238， 95%CI： 1.589‒6.598）， admission to the ICU （OR=3.010， 95%CI： 1.265‒7.164）， and macrosomia （OR=5.437， 95%CI： 3.392‒8.716） （all P<0.05）. ConclusionExcessive gestational weight gain in pre-pregnancy overweight and obese women is a risk factors for placental abruption， premature rupture of membranes， cesarean section， premature birth， fetal distress， admission to the ICU， and macrosomia.
