Objective:To explore the effect of getting out of bed activity 6 hours after silicone breast augmentation surgery on the comfort of patients.Methods:From May 2019 to August 2020, 84 female patients aged 20-37 (28.34±6.27) years who underwent silicone breast augmentation surgery at the Department of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology at the Second People′s Hospital of Guangdong Province were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 42 patients in each group, using a random number table method. The control group got out of bed 24 hours after surgery, while the observation group got out of bed 6 hours after surgery. The chest drainage and fixation patency, comfort, silicone prosthesis displacement, and incision bleeding rate between the two groups of patients were compared 24 hours after surgery.Results:The extraction time of the thoracic drainage tube in the observation group was (82.64±11.78 hours), which was shorter than that in the control group (90.67±12.44 hours), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=5.369, P<0.01). The comfort scores of the observation group patients at 6 hours after surgery (95.07±4.14) and 24 hours after surgery (97.52±4.07) were higher than those of the control group at 6 hours (91.14±4.03) and 24 hours (94.19±3.93), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.413, 3.832, both P<0.01); 7 days after surgery, there were 2 cases of silicone prosthesis displacement in the observation group, with an incidence rate of 4.76% (2/42); there were 2 cases of silicone prosthesis displacement in the control group, with an incidence rate of 4.76% (2/42); there were 6 cases of incision bleeding, with an incidence rate of 14.29% (6/42); there were 5 cases of incision bleeding in the control group, with an incidence rate of 11.90% (5/42). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of silicone implant displacement and incision bleeding between the two groups (χ 2=0.21, 0.10, P>0.05). Conclusions:Getting out of bed and moving around 6 hours after silicone breast augmentation surgery can help improve the patient′s physical comfort, ensure smooth fixation of the chest drainage tube, and do not increase the occurrence of incision bleeding in patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Mashao Pingchuan decoction (MSPC) on lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced autophagy in human bronchial airway epithelial cells (16HBE) via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. Method16HBE cells were selected for the study, and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the activity of of LPS-induced 16HBE cells and the effect of MSPC-containing serum on the cells. Suitable LPS-induced 16HBE cells were screened by the CCK-8 method, and the content of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was measured to identify the established model. And MSPC-containing serum was prepared. The cells were divided into normal group, LPS group, LPS+MSPC group, LY294002+LPS group and LY294002+LPS+MSPC group. Transmission electron microscopy was performed to observe the changes in autophagic vesicles and ultrastructure of the cells. Western blot was performed to detect the protein expressions of PI3K, phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K), Akt, phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), mTOR, phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR) and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the expressions of inflammatory factors interleukin-5 (IL-5), IL-6, TNF-α and IL-10 in the five groups. ResultLPS inhibited the 16HBE cells in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with the normal group, the LPS group (150 mg·L-1 of LPS) increased the expression of pro-inflammatory factor TNF-α after 24 h of treatment (P<0.05) and facilitated the autophagosome formation, and MSPC-containing serum exerted a concentration-dependent promotion effect on the 16HBE cells, inhibited the autophagy to a certain degree and enhanced the cell status. Western blot revealed that the protein expressions of p-PI3K, p-Akt and p-mTOR in the model group were lower (P<0.05) and the protein expression of LC3B was higher (P<0.01) than those in the normal group. Compared with the conditions in the LPS group, the protein expressions of p-PI3K, p-Akt and p-mTOR in the LPS+MSPC group were elevated (P<0.05) and that of LC3B was reduced (P<0.05). Compared with the LPS+LY294002 group, the LY294002+LPS+MSCP group had up-regulated protein expressions of p-PI3K, p-Akt and p-mTOR (P<0.05) and down-regulated protein expression of LC3B (P<0.05). ELISA showed that the LPS group had higher levels of IL-5, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-10 than the normal group, while the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 were decreased (P<0.01) and the level of IL-10 was increased (P<0.01) after treatment with MSCP. ConclusionMSCP may lower the LPS-induced autophagy in 16HBE cells and improve the inflammatory response through activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Background::The preferred therapeutic regimen for Toxoplasma encephalitis (TE) is a combination of pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) plus azithromycin is the widespread alternative therapeutic regimen. The synergistic sulfonamides tablet contains TMP, sulfadiazine, and SMX and hypothetically could be used for TE treatment. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of synergistic sulfonamides plus clindamycin (regimen B) with TMP-SMX plus azithromycin (regimen A) for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) associated TE.Methods::This was an open-labeled, multi-center randomized controlled trial recruited from 11 centers. Each recruited patient was randomly assigned to receive regimen A or regimen B for at least 6 weeks. The overall response was evaluated by assessment of the clinical response of TE-associated clinical features and the radiological response of TE-associated radiological findings. The overall response rate, clinical response rate, radiological response rate, and adverse events were assessed at 2, 6, and 12 weeks. Death events were compared between the two regimens at 6, 12, and 24 weeks.Results::A total of 91 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)/TE patients were included in the final analysis (44 in regimen A vs. 47 in regimen B). The overall response rate, which refers to the combined clinical and radiological response, was 18.2% (8/44) for regimen A and 21.3 % (10/47) for regimen B at week 6. The results of clinical response showed that, in comparison with regimen A, regimen B may perform better with regards to its effect on the relief of clinical manifestations (50.0% [22/44] vs. 70.2% [33/47], P = 0.049). However, no significant differences in radiological response, mortality events, and adverse events were found between the two regimens at week 6. Conclusions::Synergistic sulfonamides plus clindamycin, as a novel treatment regimen, showed no significantly different efficacy and comparable safety in comparison with the TMP-SMX plus azithromycin regimen. In addition, the regimen containing synergistic sulfonamides may exhibit advantages in terms of clinical symptom alleviation.Trial Registration::ChiCTR.org.cn, ChiCTR1900021195.

Objective To investigate the effect of scalp acupuncture on cerebral blood flow and gross motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods From January to November, 2016, 79 children with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into con-ventional group (n=40) and scalp acupuncture group (n=39). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation treatment, and the scalp acu-puncture group was given scalp acupuncture in addition, for five months. The systolic blood flow velocity (Vs), mean flow velocity of cere-bral artery (Vm) and vascular resistance index (RI) of anterior cerebral artery (ACA), middle cerebral artery (MCA) and posterior cerebral artery (PCA) before and after treatment were assessed with color transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD). The clinical effect was evaluated with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). Results Five cases dropped out during the follow-up, three cases in the con-ventional group and two cases in the scalp acupuncture group. There was no significant difference in all the indexes between two groups be-fore treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, the Vs and Vm of ACA, MCA and PCA improved (t>2.051, P<0.05), no improvement was found in the RI of ACA, MCA and PCA in the conventional group (t<1.1631, P>0.05), and they decreased in the scalp acupuncture group (t>2.659, P<0.05). After treatment, the Vs and Vm of ACA, MCA and PCA were higher in the scalp acupuncture group than in the conventional group (t>2.098, P<0.05), the RI of ACA was lower in the scalp acupuncture group than in the conventional group (t=2.375, P<0.05), and no signifi-cant difference was found in the RI of MCA and PCA between two groups (t<1.637, P>0.05). The total effective rate was higher in the scalp acupuncture group than in the conventional group (χ2=6.887, P<0.05). Conclusion Scalp acupuncture facilitates to increase the cerebral blood flow, decrease the vascular resistance, and improve gross motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
