OBJECTIVE: To establish the finite element model of varus-type ankle arthritis and to implement the finite element mechanical analysis of different correction models for tibial anterior surface angle (TAS) in supramalleolar osteotomy. METHODS: A female patient with left varus-type ankle arthritis (Takakura stage Ⅱ, TAS 78°) was taken as the study object. Based on the CT data, the three-dimensional model of varus-type ankle arthritis (TAS 78°) and different TAS correction models [normal (TAS 89°), 5° valgus (TAS 94°), and 10° valgus (TAS 99°)] were created by software Mimics 21.0, Geomagic Wrap 2021, Solidworks 2017, and Workbench 17.0. The 290 N vertical downward force was applied to the upper surface of the tibia and 60 N vertical downward force to the upper surface of the fibula. Von Mises stress distribution and stress peak were calculated. RESULTS: The finite element model of normal TAS was basically consistent with biomechanics of the foot. According to biomechanical analysis, the maximum stress of the varus model appeared in the medial tibiotalar joint surface and the medial part of the top tibiotalar joint surface. The stress distribution of talofibular joint surface and the lateral part of the top tibiotalar joint surface were uniform. In the normal model, the stress distributions of the talofibular joint surface and the tibiotalar joint surface were uniform, and no obvious stress concentration was observed. The maximum stress in the 5° valgus model appeared at the posterior part of the talofibular joint surface and the lateral part of the top tibiotalar joint surface. The stress distribution of medial tibiotalar joint surface was uniform. The maximum stress of the 10° valgus model appeared at the posterior part of the talofibular joint surface and the lateral part of the top tibiotalar joint surface. The stress on the medial tibiotalar joint surface increased. CONCLUSION With the increase of valgus, the stress of ankle joint gradually shift outwards, and the stress concentration tends to appear. There was no obvious obstruction of fibula with 10° TAS correction. However, when TAS correction exceeds 10° and continues to increase, the obstruction effect of fibula becomes increasingly significant.

OBJECTIVE To explore whether diterpenoid 12-deoxyphorbol-13-palmitate （DP） from Euphorbia fischeriana can exert anti-leukemia effects through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signal pathway， and to provide experimental evidence for developing it into a new anti-leukemia drug. METHODS Using LY294002 （PI3K specific inhibitor） as tool drug， the effects of 24 h DP treatment on the proliferation and apoptosis of human myeloid leukemia HL60 cells were detected by MTT method， Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI staining and AO-EB staining. ELISA method was used to detect lactic dehydrogenase （LDH） release and the activities of cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 3 （caspase-3） and caspase-9. The transcriptional level of caspase-3， caspase-9， forkhead box O3a （FoxO3a） and B cell lymphoma 2 interacting mediator of cell death （Bim） mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （qRT-PCR）. The protein expression of phosphorylated FoxO3a （p- FoxO3a） and phosphorylated Akt （p-Akt） were detected by Western blot method. The nuclear translocation of FoxO3a protein was detected by immunostaining combined with laser confocal microscopy. RESULTS 10 μmol/L DP and 10 μmol/L DP+LY294002 could inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of HL60 cells （P＜0.01）. After treatment of 5， 10， 20 μmol/L DP， HL60 cells showed typical morphological characteristics of apoptosis； DP could significantly increase the levels of LDH release and the activities of caspase-3 and caspase-9 （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， in dose-dependent manner. After treatment of 10 μmol/L DP and 10 μmol/L DP+LY294002， the transcriptional levels of caspase-3， caspase-9 and Bim mRNA were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， and transcriptional level of FoxO3a mRNA and protein expressions of p-FoxO3a and p-Akt were decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Nuclear translocation changes were observed in FoxO3a protein in 10 μmol/L DP+LY294002 group， and the change was more significant than that of LY294002 group. CONCLUSIONS DP can inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of HL60 cells via inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of hemoperfusion in the treatment of severe organophosphorus poisoning and its effect on diaphragm function.Methods:Eighty-five patients with severe organophosphorus poisoning who received treatment in Affiliated Huxi Hospital of Jining Medical University (Shanxian Central Hospital), China between January 2018 and January 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into treatment ( n = 43)and control ( n = 42) groups. The control group was given conventional treatment including gastric lavage, catharsis, and application of reactivators and anticholinergic drugs. The treatment group was subjected to three times of hemoperfusion, with an interval of 24 hours between two hemoperfusion interventions based on the conventional treatment used in the control group. Before and after three times of hemoperfusion, serum levels of cholinesterase (CHE), interleukin-6 (IL-6), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2), and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) were measured. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score and oxygenation index (OI) in each group were calculated. Right diaphragmatic activity, diaphragmatic thickness at the end of inspiration (DTei) and diaphragmatic thickness at the end of expiration were measured by bedside ultrasound. The diaphragmatic thickening rate (DTF) and diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index (D-RSBI) were calculated. Serum CHE and IL-6 levels, OI, diaphragmatic activity, DTF and D-RSBI were compared between the treatment and control groups. The incidence of intermediate syndrome, tracheal intubation rate, 28-day mortality rate, and hospital stay were compared between the two groups. Results:Before hemoperfusion, there were no significant differences in serum levels of CHE and IL-6, OI, right diaphragmatic activity, DTF, and D-RSBI between the treatment and control groups (all P > 0.05). After three times of hemoperfusion, serum IL-6 level and D-RSBI in the treatment group were (37.9 ± 6.2) ng/L and (0.77 ± 0.20) times /min/mm, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(45.9 ± 5.3) ng/L, (0.90 ± 0.16) times/min/mm ( t = -6.295, -3.382, P < 0.001, P = 0.001)]. Serum CHE level, OI, DE and DTF in the treatment group were (2.29 ± 0.52) kU/L, (264.5 ± 24.3) mmHg, (16.5 ± 1.9) mm, (27.2 ± 4.7) %, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(1.96 ± 0.39) kU/L, (252.6 ± 27.2) mmHg, (14.3 ± 1.6) mm, (23.5 ± 4.1) %, t = 3.258, 2.141, 5.598, 3.877, all P < 0.05]. The incidence of intermediate syndrome, tracheal intubation rate, hospital stay in the treatment group were [4.7% (2/43)], [2.3% (1/43)] and [(11.8 ± 1.8) days], respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [23.8% (10/42), 19.0% (8/42) and (12.9 ± 1.8) days, χ2 = 6.432, P = 0.011; χ2 = 6.276, P = 0.012; t = -2.932, P = 0.004]. There was no significant difference in 28-day mortality rate between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Hemoperfusion can improve diaphragmatic function, reduce inflammatory reaction and shorten hospital stay in patients with severe organophosphorus poisoning.

Echinococcus granulosus is an important zoonotic parasite globally causing cystic echinococcosis (CE) in humans and animals. In this study, prevalence of CE and variation of cox1 gene sequence were analyzed with isolates E. granulosus collected from different areas in northern Xinjiang, China. The survey showed that 3.5% of sheep and 4.1% of cattle were infected with CE. Fragment of cox1 was amplified from all the positive sheep and cattle samples by PCR. In addition, 26 positive samples across the 4 areas were included. The isolates were all E. granulosus sensu stricto (s.s.) containing 15 haplotypes (Hap1-15), and clustered into 2 genotypes, G1 (90.1%, 91/101) and G3 (9.9%, 10/101). Hap1 was the most common haplotype (48.5%, 49/101). Hap9 were found in humans samples, indicating that sheep and cattle reservoir human CE. It is indicate that E. granulosus may impact on control of CE in livestock and humans in the region.
