Objective:To discuss the anti-tumor effect of low dose of methotrexate(MTX)combined with sorafenib(SFN)on the human osteosarcoma(OS),and to clarify the possible mechanism.Methods:Four types of human OS cells(143B cells,HOS cells,U2OS cells,and MG63 cells)were cultured in vitro.Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2(VEGFR2)proteins in the above four kinds of cells.The human OS xenograft model was established in the nude mice,and 20 successfully modeled BALB/C nude mice were randomly divided into control group(given 2％dimethyl sulfoxide+98％corn oil),low dose of MTX group(given 2 mng·kg-1 MTX),SFN group(given 15 mng·kg-1 SFN),and combined drug group(given 2 mng·kg-1 MTX+15 mng·kg-1 SFN);there were 5 mice in each group.The tumor volumes of the mice in various groups were detected and tumor growth curves were plotted;HE staining was used to observe the morphology of tumor tissue of the mice in various groups;immunohistochemistry was used to detect the positive expression rates of VEGFR2,proliferation marker Ki-67,and hypoxia-inducible factor-1(HIF-1)proteins in tumor tissue of the mice in various groups.The human OS 143B cells were divided into 0,0.125,0.250,0.500,1.000,2.000,and 4.000 μmol·L-1 MTX groups(given 0,0.125,0.250,0.500,1.000,2.000,and 4.000 μmol·L-1 MTX,respectively).CCK-8 method was used to detect the proliferation rates of the 143B cells in various groups,and half inhibityory concentration(IC50)was calculated;the concentration of MTX that had no effect on 143B cell survival was selected as low dose of MTX.The human OS 143B cells were divided into control and low dose of MTX groups(given 0 and 0.250 μmol·L-1 MTX).ELISA method was used to detect the levels of VEGF in the 143B cells in various groups.Results:Compared with 143B cells,the expression levels of VEGF and VEGFR2 proteins in the HOS cells,U2OS cells,and MG63 cells were significantly increased(P＜0.001).In the xenograft model,compared with control group,the tumor volumes of the mice in SFN group,and combined drug group were decreased(P＜0.001);compared with low dose of MTX group and SFN group,the tumor volume of the mice in combined drug group was decreased(P＜0.01).The immunohistochemical results showed that compared with control group,the positive expression rates of Ki-67,VEGFR2,and HIF-1 proteins in tumor tissue of the mice in combined drug group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The CCK-8 results showed that there was no change in the proliferation of the 143B cells treated with 0.25 μmol·L-1 MTX.The ELISA results showed that compared with control group,the level of VEGF in the 143B cells in MTX group was signyicantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Low dose of MTX enhances the anti-tumor effect of SFN on the human OS,which may be due to the inhibition of VEGF secretion by the OS cells,thereby enhancing the anti-tumor effect of SFN on the human OS.

Pulmonary fibrosis(PF)is a chronic progressive end-stage lung disease.However,the mechanisms un-derlying the progression of this disease remain elusive.Presently,clinically employed drugs are scarce for the treatment of PF.Hence,there is an urgent need for developing novel drugs to address such diseases.Our study found for the first time that a natural source of Prismatomeris connata Y.Z.Ruan(Huang Gen,HG)ethyl acetate extract(HG-2)had a significant anti-PF effect by inhibiting the expression of the transforming growth factor beta 1/suppressor of mothers against decapentaplegic(TGF-β1/Smad)pathway.Network pharmacological analysis suggested that HG-2 had effects on tyrosine kinase phosphorylation,cellular response to reactive oxygen species,and extracellular matrix(ECM)disassembly.Moreover,mass spec-trometry imaging(MSI)was used to visualize the heterogeneous distribution of endogenous metabolites in lung tissue and reveal the anti-PF metabolic mechanism of HG-2,which was related to arginine biosyn-thesis and alanine,asparate and glutamate metabolism,the downregulation of arachidonic acid meta-bolism,and the upregulation of glycerophospholipid metabolism.In conclusion,we elaborated on the relationship between metabolite distribution and the progression of PF,constructed the regulatory metabolic network of HG-2,and discovered the multi-target therapeutic effect of HG-2,which might be conducive to the development of new drugs for PF.

Objective? To determine tourniquet pressure based on limb occlusion pressure(LOP) and to explore its effects on laparoscopic surgery in adults. Methods? Totally 200 adult patients who received laparoscopic surgery in a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital between June and December 2017 were selected by cluster sampling and divided into the control group (n=100) and the observation group (n=100) according to the random number table. The conventional pressure of 450 mmHg (60 kPa) for lower exterminates was applied to the patients in the control group, while the pressure for the patients in the observation group was determined on limb occlusion pressure with the arterial pulse probe in air pressure tourniquet in accordance with the guideline of the Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN, 2013) and the care guideline for surgical patients using air pressure tourniquet. The surgical vision score, air pressure tourniquet pressure, color of skin at tourniquet cuff and change of skin morphology were observed and recorded. Results? The clearance of surgical vision of the two groups was 86% and 82%, respectively (P＞ 0.05). The pressure of air pressure tourniquet of the observation group was (316.48±20.10) mmHg, while the fixed pressure of the control group was 450 mmHg (P＜0.05). The incidence of cutaneous injury comorbidities in the control group was 65%, while the incidence of postoperative skin injury in the observation group was 20% (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions? The tourniquet pressure determined based on limb occlusion pressure in laparoscopic surgery for adult patients does not affect the vision of surgeons and can effectively reduce the adverse effects of tourniquet used during operation.

Objective To establish a short-term scenario simulation training campus in senior med-ical students before graduation for the sake of a smooth transformation from medical students to residents. Methods There were 101 participants involved in the study . All the participants attended emergency medicine traditional teaching, including 51 fourth-year medical students and 50 fifth-year medical students. The 48 students who took the emergency scenario simulation training course were classified as training camp group while the other 53 students were classified as control group. The control group only participated in the emergency medicine traditional teaching, and the training camp group participated in the emergency sce-nario simulation training course on the basis of control group's routine teaching, including advanced cardiac life support and team collaboration, sepsis and doctor-patient communication, polypnea and crisis manage-ment, disorder of consciousness and interdisciplinary teamwork, multiple injuries and emergency plans, and comprehensive case evaluation. The training camp group was divided into groups and received evaluation of performance on treating emergency simulated case (clinical skills, teamwork, doctor-patient communication) before and after class. The training camp group was received questionnaire survey after class. SAS 9.2 was used to do the t test and descriptive analysis. Results There were no statistically significant differences (P>0.05) between the scores of the performance on clinical skills, teamwork, doctor-patient communication of training camp group and control group before class. The scores of training camp group after class were sig-nificantly better than those of control group (P<0.05). In addition, the course had a high recognition by students. 92% (44/48) students thought the course was contributed to improving the ability of crisis man-agement and clinical practice and were in favor of developing similar courses for senior medical students. Conclusion Scenario simulation training campus can strengthen the cultivation of medical students' com-prehensive thinking, independent clinical decision making, practice skills and communication ability in the final stage of medical education as well as enhancing their self-confidence so as to help them to adapt to the real clinical work.
