Objective:To investigate the effects of unilateral ureteral obstruction on renal pelvic peristalsis and pacemaker cells in neonatal rats.Methods:An animal experimental study.Thirty-six 2-day-old newborn SD rats were randomly divided into the partial unilateral ureteral obstruction (PUUO) group, complete unilateral ureteral obstruction (CUUO) group, and sham operation group, with 12 rats in each group.One week after surgery, all rats were subjected to renal pelvic pressure (RPP) measurement by puncture.After measurement, the rats were euthanized, and their left renal pelvis and ureter were removed and fixed for histological examination.Parameters such as RPP, peristaltic wave frequency and amplitude at different perfusion speeds were recorded and compared, and the changes in pacemaker cells (atypical smooth muscle cells and Cajal-like interstitial cells) were also compared.The independent samples t-test was used for comparison between 2 groups, and the one-way ANOVA of variance was used for comparison among 3 groups. Results:In the sham operation group, the RPP increased gradually with the increase of perfusion speed; the frequency of peristaltic waves rose rapidly and then dropped after reaching the highest level with the increase of perfusion speed; similarly, the amplitude of peristaltic waves first increased and then decreased as the perfusion speed increased.In the PUUO group, the RPP increased rapidly with the increase of perfusion speed, higher than that in the sham operation group; the frequency of peristaltic waves was higher than that in the sham operation group, and it was relatively constant under the perfusion speed of 40 mL/h, but when the perfusion speed increased again, the frequency began to decline; the amplitude of peristaltic waves increased quickly and then declined at a faster rate than the sham operation group with the increase of perfusion speed.In the CUUO group, the basic RPP was 12 cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa); at the perfusion speed of 5 mL/h, the RPP rose gradually, and no plateau appeared; when the RPP reached 73 cmH 2O, the perfusate retrograded from the side of the puncture needle, then the RPP slightly decreased and then balanced, and no regular peristaltic waves were observed in the renal pelvis throughout the whole perfusion process.Immunofluorescence staining analysis showed the pacemaker cells were all located in the smooth muscle of the renal pelvic wall.The sham operation group had the highest positive rate, followed by the PUUO group and then the CUUO group. Conclusions:Ureteral obstruction has a significant impact on the peristalsis of the renal pelvis, and its impact on the peristaltic wave frequency and amplitude and RPP can be predicted.The reduction of pacemaker cells in the renal pelvis may be involved in the changes of renal pelvic peristalsis caused by ureteral obstruction, but further research is needed on how pacemaker cells regulate the peristalsis of the renal pelvis and ureter.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease in which a large amount of fat accumulates in hepatocytes due to lipid metabolism disorders. Conventional anti-inflammatory and transaminase-lowering treatment regimens often have an unsatisfactory therapeutic effect, and restoring the normal biosynthesis and metabolism of lipids is the key to the treatment of NAFLD. Studies have shown that brown adipose tissue can improve metabolic diseases by enhancing insulin sensitivity and regulating lipid metabolism, and the treatment of NAFLD by promoting white fat browning has attracted wide attention in the medical field. This article reviews the mechanism of white fat browning in improving NAFLD and summarizes the hepatokines that can promote white fat browning, so as to provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of NAFLD.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of 125I seed implantation in the treatment of radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC). Methods:Fourteen patients (8 males, 6 females, age: (62.0±10.7) years) with RAIR-DTC confirmed by pathology or imaging examination in the Central Hospital of Wuhan, Tongji Medical College between July 2017 and March 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were treated with 125I seed implantation guided by CT. Ultrasound, CT, 125I-SPECT/CT or MRI were performed at 1.5, 3, 6 and 12 months after the implantation to evaluate the changes of lesion volume, and serum thyroglobulin (Tg), as well as symptom relief were monitored and recorded. The paired t-test was used for data analysis. Results:The 125I seeds were successfully implanted (16 operations) in 14 patients with 25 lesions. Patients were followed up for 3-44 months (median: 6.5(4.5, 11.5) months). The total effective rate was 60.0%(15/25) and the total local control rate was 96.0%(24/25). The effective rate for metastatic lymph nodes was 10/17, and the local control rate was 16/17. The effective rate and the local control rate for local recurrence were 1/3 and 3/3 respectively, and those for bone metastasis were both 3/3, those for sinus metastasis were 0/1 and 1/1 respectively, and those for lung metastasis were both 1/1. In 8 patients with clinical symptoms, symtoms of 4 cases were completely relieved, those of 3 cases were partially relieved and 1 case had no remission. The Tg level and the tumor length were both decreased after operation ((245.99±44.85) μg/L vs (330.38±50.78) μg/L, t=2.92, P=0.010; (2.71±0.34) cm vs (3.78±0.27) cm, t=3.13, P=0.007). Conclusions:125I seed implantation, as a supplementary treatment for RAIR-DTC, is safe and effective. It has a good effect against metastatic and local recurrent lesions.

Objective:To analyze the detection strategy and basic detection situation of markers of infectious diseases transmitted by transfusion in blood testing laboratories of blood stations in China.Methods:Based on the data of practice comparison working party of Blood Stations in Mainland of China from 2017 to 2021, the data on the testing strategies and the basic detection information of the markers for the transmission of infectious diseases through transfusion in the member laboratories of the practice comparison working party of Blood Stations in Mainland of China from 2017 to 2021 were collected, and the situation of the selection for testing markers, testing strategy and the testing method and other relevant aspects were sorted out and analyzed by charts.Results:The selection of the testing markers was consistent, but HTLV testing item was added in some member laboratories. The detection strategy of using two ELISA reagents and one nucleic acid testing (NAT) reagent simultaneously was adopted in 47 member blood stations; 3) NAT method was dominated by mini pool-NAT in member laboratories. The number of members adopting mini-pools of 8 (MP8)-NAT decreased from 17 in 2017 to 14 in 2021, while the number of members adopting mini-pools of 6 (MP6)-NAT increased from 13 in 2017 to 22 in 2021; Roche NAT system accounted for the largest proportion.Conclusions:In order to ensure blood safety and avoid missing detection, the blood stations still adopt the detection strategy of using two ELISA reagents and one nucleic acid testing (NAT) reagent simultaneously; Meanwhile, in order to increase the NAT positive rate, the proportion of mini pool-NAT mainly decreased year by year despite its dominating role, while the proportion of individual donation-NAT increased year by year; NAT method is transiting from mini-pools of 8 (MP8) to mini-pools of 6 (MP6); The proportion of imported NAT system used in NAT laboratory is relatively large.

Objective:To investigate the preliminary effects of sub-pectoral fascial breast augmentation and reconstruction.Methods:Six patients (10 breasts) of mammary dysplasia, mastatrophy, prophylactic mastectomy, unilateral breast defect with contralateral mastatrophy were included in the study from Oct. 2019 to July 2021. The mean patient age was 29 years (range, 20 to 35 years). All the textured and smooth cohesive gel implants were inserted under pectoralis major fascia by endoscopic-assisted, incisions were including axillary, around areola and inferior mammary fold approaches. The prophylactic mastectomy cases were performed nipple sparing mastectomy and sub-pectoral fascial breast restoration with implants. The fat and fascia tissue were well reserved to give a satisfying coverage of the appropriate implant. Negative pressure drainage and moulding dressing were used after the surgery.Results:Ten breast augmentation and restoration with a mean implant size of 200 cc (range, 180-300 cc). Less immediate postoperative pain and bleeding were reported. Patients were followed up for an average of 10 months (range, 6 to 21 months). There were no cases of major malpositions, double-bubble and bottom out symptoms. The overall outcome was with better symmetry and satisfaction with time passed by, and no secondary surgical procedures needed.Conclusions:Primary and satisfactory results have been obtained in subfascial breast augmentation and restoration for indications. With the endoscopic-assisted accurate pectoral fascial dissection, and well reserved soft tissue coverage, this technique could avoid the pectoralis major muscle ablation and keep the advantages of sub-glandular plane.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of reverse abdominal wall advancement flap in repairing chest wall soft tissue defect after breast tumor resection.Methods:From October 2020 to April 2021, the Department of Plastic Surgery and Breast Surgery of Hainan Cancer Hospital cooperated to repair the chest wall wounds of 4 female patients with unilateral giant breast tumors after primary lesion resection. Patients aged 40-63 years old, with an average of 51.5 years old. The size of the tumor estimated by physical examination was 7 cm × 6 cm-15 cm × 20 cm. The flaps were closely monitored after surgery, and complications were recorded. Local recurrence was followed-up.Results:The wound size of 4 patients after mastectomy was 16 cm×14 cm-20 cm×18 cm. Abdomen separation range reached anterior axillary line laterally and contralateral clavicle midline medially. Inferiorly, 1 case reached umbilical level, 1 case reached 2 cm below the umbilicus, and 2 cases reached 3 cm below the umbilicus.

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with trauma are at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which must be taken seriously in the therapeutic processes. Hypercoagulable state is induced by 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in many ways, such as increasing the level of inflammatory factors and fibrinogen, and inducing endothelial cell injury. The venous wall injuries from trauma and operation directly or indirectly trigger off the exogenous coagulation pathway and the microcirculation can be damaged at the same time, which may initiate the exogenous pathway of VTE. Immobilization of limbs and forced bed rest during the treatment of traumatic patients will slow venous blood flow. Chronic non-communicable diseases such as diabetes in the elderly were independent risk factors for VTE. Furthermore, the persistent fever, severe lung disease, respiratory failure, sepsis and invasive technology application add the risk of VTE and the difficulty of treatment. In order to help effective prevention VTE of for COVID-19 patients with trauma, the authors put forward relevant technical suggestions for prevention and nursing of VTE to provide basis for nursing work during pandemic of COVID-19.
