Objective To optimize a C57BL/6J mouse liver fibrosis model induced by different doses of carbon tetrachloride through imaging,molecular biology,and pathology method.Methods Thirty-six healthy C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into a control group,2 weeks,3 weeks,4 weeks,6 weeks,and 8 weeks groups(n=6)after adaptive feeding for 1 week.The control group was intraperitoneally injected with 0.2 mL olive oil three times a week,and the positive-control groups were intraperitoneally injected with 0.2 mL 20%CCl4-olive oil solution three times a week.Changes in the body weights of mice in each group were recorded.Liver stiffness was measured on days 15,22,29,43 and 57,and blood samples were collected,and cereal third alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),hyaluronic acid(HA),laminin(LN),pro-typeⅢcollagen(PC-Ⅲ),and typeⅣcollagen(Ⅳ-C)content was measured.The liver tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin(HE),Masson,and Sirius red.The Metavir scoring system was used to evaluate the degree of liver fibrosis.Results Compared with the control group,mice in the positive-control groups were listless and tended to huddle together.In terms of body weight,the 4 weeks,6 weeks,and 8 weeks groups were significantly lighter than the control group,while the 2 weeks group mice were significantly heavier than the control group mice.Liver elastography showed a progressive increase in stiffness with increased administration time.The biochemical tests showed that,compared with the control group,the other groups'ALT and AST levels were significantly higher.With an increase in drug delivery time,the positive-control group's HA,LN,PC-Ⅲ and Ⅳ-C levels showed increasing trends.Pathological examination revealed that liver fibrosis was progressively aggravated with an increase in administration time.At 4 weeks,the pathological diagnosis was consistent with that of liver fibrosis,and there were signs of pseudolobule formation at 6 weeks.Pseudolobules were formed at 8 weeks,suggesting early cirrhosis.Conclusions A liver fibrosis model can be successfully established in C57BL/6J mice by intraperitoneal injection of 20%CCl4-olive oil solution three times a week for 4 consecutive weeks.The model has good stability,and the modeling method is rapid and can be used as an optimized scheme for the establishment of liver fibrosis models.

Infectious bone defect is bone defect with infection or as a result of treatment of bone infection. It requires surgical intervention, and the treatment processes are complex and long, which include bone infection control,bone defect repair and even complex soft tissue reconstructions in some cases. Failure to achieve the goals in any step may lead to the failure of the overall treatment. Therefore, infectious bone defect has been a worldwide challenge in the field of orthopedics. Conventionally, sequestrectomy, bone grafting, bone transport, and systemic/local antibiotic treatment are standard therapies. Radical debridement remains one of the cornerstones for the management of bone infection. However, the scale of debridement and the timing and method of bone defect reconstruction remain controversial. With the clinical application of induced membrane technique, effective infection control and rapid bone reconstruction have been achieved in the management of infectious bone defect. The induced membrane technique has attracted more interests and attention, but the lack of understanding the basic principles of infection control and technical details may hamper the clinical outcomes of induced membrane technique and complications can possibly occur. Therefore, the Chinese Orthopedic Association organized domestic orthopedic experts to formulate An evidence-based clinical guideline for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique ( version 2023) according to the evidence-based method and put forward recommendations on infectious bone defect from the aspects of precise diagnosis, preoperative evaluation, operation procedure, postoperative management and rehabilitation, so as to provide useful references for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique.

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of circular RNA (cirRNA) on the radiosensitivity of rectal cancer.Methods:The differential circRNAs in radiosensitive and radioresistant rectal cancer tissues (biopsy tissue before radiotherapy and chemotherapy) were detected by gene sequencing, and the effect of circRNAs on the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer cells was further confirmed in vitro. Results:Through gene sequencing of rectal cancer tissue samples, 64 circRNAs were found to be highly expressed in radiosensitive rectal cancer tissues, and 36 circRNAs were lowly expressed in radiosensitive tissues. Ten differential circRNAs were selected and verified by qRT-PCR, and it was found that circATL2 was highly expressed in radiosensitive rectal cancer tissues. In vitro cell experiment indicated that up-regulation of circATL2 expression could significantly improve the radiosensitivity of rectal cancer. Subsequently, 8 miRNAs lowly expressed in radiosensitive rectal cancer tissues were analyzed. The direct binding relationship between miR-205 and circATL2 was confirmed by dual luciferase reporter assay. The rescue experiment confirmed that circATL2 in rectal cancer regulated the radiosensitivity of rectal cancer through miR-205. Conclusion:circATL2 regulates the radiosensitivity of rectal cancer by binding to miR-205.

Objective:To summarize the atypical manifestations and treatment strategies of serous microcystic neoplasm of the pancreas.Methods:Review the case data of 11 cases of pancreatic serous microcystic adenoma with atypical preoperative clinical imaging findings admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 2008 to October 2019, and summarize their clinical manifestations, CT/MRI features, and preoperative clinical diagnosis, surgical methods, postoperative conditions.Results:The median age of the 11 patients was 50 (46-66) years old, 7 females, and 4 males. There were 8 cases with back pain and 6 cases with weight loss. The preoperative imaging examination found that the lesion was located in the head and neck in 8 cases, with pancreaticobiliary duct dilatation in 7 cases, suspected vascular invasion in 3 cases, and pancreatic parenchymal atrophy in 2 cases, 3 cases showed rich blood supply and solid space, and 2 cases were connected to the pancreatic duct. Preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic malignant tumors accounted for 4 cases, neuroendocrine tumors in 3 cases, solid pseudopapillary tumors in 3 cases, and intraductal papillary mucinous tumors in 1 case. All patients underwent surgical treatment, 3 cases of distal pancreatectomy (2 cases of using Kimura method to protect the spleen), 3 cases of pancreaticoduodenectomy, 1 case of total pancreatectomy, 2 cases of pancreatic head resection with duodenum preservation, 2 cases of local resection. All patients had no early postoperative deaths. There were 2 cases of grade B pancreatic fistula, 2 cases of biochemical leakage, 1 case of postoperative abdominal hemorrhage, and 2 cases of delayed gastric emptying, all of which were cured after active treatment. The median postoperative hospital stay was 18 (7-63) days.Conclusions:Pancreatic serous microcystic neoplasm could be accompanied by atypical features such as pancreatic/bile duct dilation, parenchyma atrophy, or even present vessel invasion. Understanding the atypical clinic and image features would help improving differential diagnosis and treatment. For those with invasive features, surgical exploration should be recommended.

Objective To study TMSG-1 and Cyclin D1 expressions in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and their relevance to the clinicopathological data and prognosis. Methods Immunohistochemistry S-P method was used to examine the expressions of TMSG-1 and Cyclin D1 in pathological specimens of 136 cases of ESCC and 13 cases of normal esophageal mucosa. Contrast study among immunohistochemistry, clinicopathological data and prognosis was also analyzed. Results (1)The positive expression rates of TMSG-1 and Cyclin D1 in ESCC were 52.2% and 65.4%, respectively. The expressions of TMSG-1 and Cyclin D1 in ESCC were significantly higher than that in normal esophageal mucosa (P<0.05). (2)The expressions of TMSG-1 and Cyclin D1 were all related to clinical stage , differentiation degree and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). (3)The expression of TMSG-1 was negatively correlated to the expression of Cyclin D1 in ESCC (r=-0.386,P=0.000). (4)The expression levels of TMSG-1 and Cyclin D1 were independent risk factors in patients with ESCC (P < 0.05). Conclusions The abnormal expressions of TMSG-1 and Cyclin D1 may cooperatively play a role in initiation and development of ESCC. Co-examination of TMSG-1 and Cyclin D1 expressions in primary tumors may be useful for predicting prognosis of ESCC.
