Objective:Exploring the diagnostic and therapeutic points of pectoralis minor muscle transection for the treatment of pectoralis minor syndrome, as well as the differences between pectoralis minor syndrome and thoracic outlet syndrome.Methods:A retrospective summary and analysis were conducted on the clinical data, surgical methods, and prognosis of patients with pectoralis minor syndrome who underwent thoracic and cardiovascular surgery at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2012 to December 2022. The literature was reviewed, and the clinical data, surgical methods, and prognosis of thoracic outlet syndrome during the same period were combined to analyze the differences between pectoralis minor syndrome and thoracic outlet syndrome.Results:All patients underwent surgical resection of the pectoralis minor muscle, with significant pain relief, disappearance of clinical symptoms, no surgical complications, and a good prognosis.Conclusion:Pectoral muscle syndrome is a disease independent of thoracic outlet syndrome, with a high rate of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Comprehensive preoperative pain localization and closed treatment, clear diagnosis, and cutting of the pectoralis minor muscle are effective methods for treating this disease.

Objective To analyze the application value of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification in treating patients with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) under local anesthesia for upper urinary tract calculi. Methods A total of 80 patients with PCNL under local anesthesia for upper urinary tract calculi were divided into high-risk group (ASA Ⅲ to Ⅳ level) with 36 cases and low-risk group (ASA Ⅰ to Ⅱ level) with 44 cases according to ASA classification, and perioperative indicators (operation time, intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay), stone clearance rate, inflammatory factors[C reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)], score of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. Results Hospital stay in the low-risk group was significantly shorter than that in the high-risk group (P < 0.05); the stone clearance rate was 93.18% in the low-risk group, which was significantly higher than 75.00% in the high-risk group (P < 0.05). Before surgery, the levels of serum CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α in the high-risk group were significantly higher than those in the low-risk group (P < 0.05); one day after surgery, the levels of serum CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α in the high-risk group were significantly higher than those in the low-risk group (P < 0.05). On the first, the third, and the fifth day after surgery, the VAS score in the high-risk and low-risk groups decreased significantly, and the VAS score in the low-risk group was significantly lower than that in the high-risk group (P < 0.05). Incidence rate of complications in the low-risk group was 4.54%, which was significantly lower than 19.44% in the high-risk group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Application of PCNL under local anesthesia in treating patients with upper urinary tract calculi of ASA Ⅰ to Ⅲ has milder inflammation and pain when compared to those of ASA Ⅲ to Ⅳ, and the incidence rate of complications is relatively low.

Objective To investigate the expression of CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and its relationship with the clinical pathological parameters of ccRCC.Methods The expression of CXCR4 was detected by immuno-histochemistry method in 63 cases of ccRCCs,20 cases of para-carcinoma tissues and 20 cases of normal renal tissues.The correlation between expression level of CXCR4 and clinical pathological parameters of ccRCC patients were analyzed,and the clinical significance of its expression in ccRCC was evaluated.Results The positive expression rate of CXCR4(49.2％) in ccRCCs was significantly higher than that in para-carcinoma tissues (15％) and normal renal tissue (10％),and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The expression level of CXCR4 and the clinical stage and pathological grade of ccRCC were correlated (P ＜ 0.05),and was associated with lymph node transfer (P ＜ 0.05).The CXCR4 negative group overall survival rate [55.2％ (16/29)] and the average survival time(46 months) was significantly better than the positive group [38.5％ (10/26),32 months;P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions The expression level of CXCR4 in ccRCC is correlated with the clinicopathological parameters and prognosis.CXCR4 is expected to be an important marker for diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of renal cell carcinoma.

This study was aimed to show the extraction research of cpDNA in Gentiana straminea Maxim. and G. crassicaulis Duthie ex Burk., which will increase the knowledge about the chloroplast genome sequence characteris-tics, understand its genetic diversity and improve the efficiency of breeding schemes. G. straminea Maxim. and G. crassicaulis Duthie ex Burk. were taken as study objects. The improved sucrose-gradient centrifugation and purifica-tion methods were used to obtain the cpDNA, measure the concentration, detect the OD value, and amplify the ITS2 sequence to verify the nucleus pollution. The results showed that the high quality and purity cpDNA (0.1 - 0.4 μg/10 g) was demonstrated without other pollution after ITS2 sequence amplification, which met to the subsequent effi-cient sequencing of chloroplast genomes. The purity and mass have an important influence on the accuracy and cred-ibility of the cp genome sequencing. It was concluded that this study improved the sucrose-gradient centrifugation and purification with great effect of the purity and mass of cpDNA, and guaranteed the obtaining of complete cpDNA of Gentiana.

Objective To explore the effect of SZ-685C on rat pituitary adenoma GH3 cell line.Methods MTT method evaluated its effect of proliferation and inhibitory concentration 50 (IC5o) on GH3 cells,after treated by 0,2.5,5.0,7.5,10.0,12.5,15.0,17.5,20.0 and 30.0 μmol/L SZ-685C for 48 h,GH3 cells were changed to complete medium for 12 d,crystal violet staining was used to investigate colony formation; microscopy and Hoechst 33342 staining assay observed whether the changes of morphological as the result of apoptosis,then detected cell apoptosis by flow cytometry.Results SZ-685C had a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on GH3 cell proliferation and IC50 was (12.9 ± 0.47) μmol/L,MEF(considered as a control group) had little affect in cell proliferation on the concentration of IC50.Inhibitory effects persisted even on removal of SZ- 685C after 12 d,and SZ-685C blocked colony formation ability of pituitary tumor cells.Apoptotic morphological observation of microscope and Hoechst 33342 staining proved apoptosis during treatment of SZ-685C,flow cytometry detection showed that SZ-685C induces 36.4％ of apoptosis,while only 2.0％ in control group.Conclusion SZ-685C inhibits pituitary tumor cell proliferation and induces apoptosis.SZ-685C can be a new anti-patuitary tumor drug for a further study.

Objective To investigate effects of exogenous substance P (SP) on proliferation of humau skin fibroblast (HSF) and expression of its monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) under high glucose condition.Methods HSF cultured in high glucose DMEM medium were treated with SP of various concentrations at different time points.Levels of MCP-1 in the supernatants were determined by ELISA and time-effect relationship of SP regulating expression of MCP-1 was analyzed.Expression of MCP-1 mRNA in HSF was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Real Time-PCR,Conclusion,while cxpression of MCP-1 by Western blot.Proliferation of HSF treated with SP of different concentrations was detected by cell counting Kit-8 (CCK-8).Results MCP-1 had a strong expression at 8 hours after SP disposal (P ＜0.05) and reached the peak at 24 hours (P ＜ 0.01).Meanwhile,MCP-1 expressed the most at 10 nmol/L and 100 nmol/L SP (P ＜0.01).SP significantly enhanced the expression of MCP-1 mRNA and its synthesis under high glucose condition,especially at the concentration of 10 nmol/L (P ＜0.01).Also,SP induced obvious proliferation of HSF at concentrations of 10 nmol/L and 1 000 nmol/L(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion SP promotes proliferation of HSF and expression of MCP-1 in high glucose DMEM medium,which may be of significance in promoting diabetic wound healing.
