Objective:To investigate the expression of forkhead box protein O3(FOXO3) in pancreatic cancer and its effect on the motility and proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells.Methods:The FOXO3 expression in pancreatic cancer and adjacent tissues was retrieved from LinkedOmics database. Western blotting and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction were used to detect FOXO3 expression in pancreatic cancer cells and human pancreatic stellate cells. PANC-1 and MIAPaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells with low FOXO3 expression were selected to transfect FOXO3 overexpression plasmid and negative control plasmid, respectively. The motility and proliferation ability of pancreatic cancer cells were detected by colony formation assay, cell scratch assay, Transwell assay and flow cytometry.Results:In the LinkedOmics database, the relative expression of FOXO3 protein in the cancer tissues of 64 patients with pancreatic cancer was significantly lower than that in the adjacent tissues ( t=8.36, P<0.001). The number of clones in PANC-1 cell line was (30.0±6.6) after overexpressed FOXO3, which was lower than that in negative control cells (92.7±6.7), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=11.54, P<0.001). After overexpressed FOXO3 in PANC-1 and MIAPaCa-2 cell lines, the scratch repair rate was significantly decreased compared with the control group. In Transwell experiment, the number of cells in FOXO3 overexpressed group in PANC-1 cell lines was (21.0±6.6), which was lower than that of negative control groups (55.7±8.5), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=5.59, P=0.005). The results of MIAPaCa-2 cell line were consistent with that of PANC-1 cell line. After overexpressing of FOXO3 in PANC-1 and MIAPaCa-2 cell lines, the proportion of cells in the G0/G1 phase decreased, while the proportion in the S phase increased. Conclusion:The expression of FOXO3 was decreased in pancreatic cancer. Overexpression of FOXO3 could significantly inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells and induce cell cycle arrest, which is a potential target for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Anal fistula is a common disease, surgical treatment is the best option. There are many kinds of surgical treatments for anal fistula, traditional surgical methods, such as fistulotomy and fistulectomy are more thorough in treating internal opening, infection and fistula tract, but the injury to the sphincter is also greater. In recent years, surgery is becoming refined, many scholars pay more and more attention to the protection of anal sphincter, which has derived a series of minimally invasive surgeries, such as Endorectal advancement flap procedure, Ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract, Fistula laser closure procedure, Video-assisted anal fistula treatment, Over-the-scope clip, Endofistular polyurethane-sponge vacuum therapy and biological sphincter preservating procedures. This paper describes the application status and progress of sphincter preserving surgeries by reviewing relevant literature, in order to provide relevant reference for clinical workers, optimize the treatment plan and improve the cure rate.

Objective:To explore the effect of the hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on blood rheological properties in patients with unstable angina and its protective effect on myocardial injury.Methods:A total of 168 cases of patients with unstable angina admitted to Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University from June 2017 to December 2018 were selected as research subjects and divided into control group (84 cases) and observation group (84 cases). The control group was given conventional PCI, and symptomatic and supportive treatment, while the observation group were given hyperbaric oxygen therapy (1 time/day, 10 days constitute one treatment course, 2 courses in total) on the basis of the treatments in the control group. The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups. The changes in blood rheological indexes and myocardial injury markers of the patients were detected before and after treatment.Results:In the observation group, there were 45 cases with markedly efficacy, and 34 cases showed some efficacy. The total effective rate was 94.05%, which was significantly higher than that of 84.52% in the control group. The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). After treatment, the PaO 2 of the patients in the observation group significantly increased, while the PaCO 2 significantly decreased. The improvement of the blood oxygen metabolism was more significant than that in the control group ( P<0.05). Meanwhile, the levels of blood rheological indexes, e. g. whole blood viscosity (ηb), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), hematocrit (HCT), erythrocyte electrophoresis time (EET), erythrocyte aggregation index (EAI), and platelet aggregation rate (PAgT), in the two groups all declined obviously, and those in the observation group had greater decline than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The lysophospholipids acid (LPA) and platelet-activating factor P-selectin (CD62P) in the two groups significantly decreased, and the levels of LPA and CD62P in the observation group had greater decreases than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Moreover, the levels of the markers of myocardial injury, e. g. cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) in both groups increased significantly, and the cTnI and CK-MB levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group. Conclusion:Through increasing blood oxygen content in body tissues, hyperbaric oxygen can effectively reduce blood viscosity, improve blood rheological properties, and therefore, reduce platelet activation, thus preventing thrombosis. It can also reduce myocardial injury and enhance the clinical efficacy for patients with unstable angina.

Objective: To evaluate the antiseptic effect of combined using of 5% sodium hypochlorite and calcium silicate-based root canal sealer against Enterococcus faecalis (Ef) biofilms in infected dentinal tubules in vitro. Methods: Cells of Ef were inoculated into the dentinal tubules of single-rooted teeth (without caries, periapical lesions and malformations extracted due to periodontal disease or orthodontic reasons; collected from Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University) with centrifugation and incubated in brain-heart infusion (BHI) to form 3-week-old biofilms. The infected samples were subjected to sodium hypochlorite or sterile water bathing for 10 minutes followed by calcium silicate-based root canal sealer (iRoot SP) (calcium silicate-based group), Gutta-percha group and sterile water group placed on the root canal wall for 1, 4 and 12 weeks. There were two samples in each treatment at each point. The antiseptic effectiveness of combined use of sodium hypochlorite and calcium silicate-based root canal sealer was analyzed by laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM), ANOVA and LSD-t test. Results: After treatment with 5% sodium hypochlorite, in calcium silicate-based group for 4 and 12 weeks more Ef biofilm cells [(75.3±3.5)% and (74.8±3.8)%] were killed than in Gutta-percha group [(65.9±4.1)% and (63.0±3.7)%] and sterile water group [(63.9±4.0)% and (64.2±3.5)%] (P<0.05). After being treated with sterile water, the proportion of dead bacterial cells in calcium silicate-based group for 1, 4 and 12 weeks [(27.5±4.6)%, (43.0±4.4)% and (40.3±6.1)%] were more than those in Gutta-percha group and sterile water group (P<0.05). After being treated with 5% sodium hypochlorite or sterile water, more biofilm bacteria were killed in calcium silicate-based group for 4 and 12 weeks than in calcium silicate-based group for 1 week (P<0.05). Conclusions The combined use of sodium hypochlorite and calcium silicate-based root canal sealer kills more biofilm cells in infected dentinal tubules.

Objective: To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of nonequilibrium plasma against Enterococcus faecalis (Ef) biofilms in vitro and to obtain novel evidence of root canal disinfection with nonequilibrium plasma. Methods: Sterile cover slips and single-rooted canals were filled with Ef and incubated to form 1-week-old and 3-week-old biofilms, respectively. The infected samples were subjected to nonequilibrium plasma, 2% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) and saline for 3, 10 and 30 minutes, respectively. After treatment, the killing effectiveness of nonequilibrium plasma was analyzed by using laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and colony forming unit (CFU) counting. Results: The 3-dimentional reconstruction LSCM images showed that about 48.3%-79.8% of 1-week-old Ef biofilm cells and 40.0%-67.4% of 3-week-old biofilm cells were killed by nonequilibrium plasma and 2% CHX compared to saline (P<0.05). The proportion of killing activity was lower after 3 minutes (40.0%-50.9% killing) than after 10 minutes (65.3%-77.8% killing) and 30 minutes (66.4%-79.8% killing) (P<0.05). And the killing of biofilm bacteria was fastest during the first 3 minutes (13.3%-17.0% killing per minute) and slow down greatly after 10 minutes. Remarkably more bacteria were killed in 1-week-old Ef biofilms (48.3%-79.8% killing) than in 3-week-old biofilms (P<0.05). Conclusions The nonequilibrium plasma killed more Ef biofilm cells in infected root canals showed promotional as an additional approach against bacterial biofilms during root canal disinfection.
