ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Gegen Qinliantang （GGQLT）-medicated serum on free fatty acid （FFA）-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis （NASH） in vitro model of human hepatoma cells HepG2. MethodNASH model of HepG2 cells was established in vitro， and the cells were intervened with different volume fractions of GGQLT-medicated serum and resveratrol. Intracellular lipid deposition in each group was detected by oil red O staining， the level of reactive oxygen species （ROS） in each group were detected by flow cytometry， the levels of glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， triglyceride （TG） and malondialdehyde （MDA） in each group were detected by kits. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to measure the mRNA expression levels of nuclear transcription factor （NF）E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1）， quinone oxidoreductase 1 （NQO1）， Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein-1 （Keap1）， NF-κB， thioredoxin interacting protein （TXNIP）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β） in HepG2 cells of each group. The protein expression of Nrf2， TXNIP in cells of each group was detected by Western blot. ResultFFA induced large accumulation of intracellular lipids. Compared with the normal group， the activities of GSH-Px and SOD were significantly decreased （P<0.01） and the contents of TG， ROS and MDA were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01） in the model group. Compared with the model group， all GGQLT groups and resveratrol group could elevate intracellular SOD activity to different degrees （P<0.05， P<0.01） and significantly reduce the levels of intracellular ROS and MDA （P<0.05， P<0.01）， GGQLD high- and medium-dose groups and resveratrol group significantly elevated GSH-Px activity （P<0.01）， GGQLD medium- and low-dose groups and resveratrol group significantly decreased TG content （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， GGQLT high- and medium-dose groups and resveratrol group could significantly upregulate the mRNA expression levels of Nrf2， HO-1 and NQO1 （P<0.01）， all GGQLT groups and resveratrol group could significantly downregulate the TXNIP protein expression level， as well as significantly downregulate the mRNA expression levels of Keap1， NF-κB （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Nrf2-siRNA transfection of cells revealed that Nrf2 expression was significantly downregulated （P<0.01） in the Nrf2-siRNA group of cells by comparing with NC-siRNA group at the corresponding dose of drugs， and the inhibitory effects of GGQLT and resveratrol on TXNIP， IL-1β were attenuated. ConclusionFFA induces the production of ROS and inflammatory factors in HepG2 cells， and GGQLT can improve the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacities of cells， and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of Nrf2/TXNIP signaling pathway， so as to improve NASH.

Objective:To explore the method and clinical efficacy of Flow-through latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap to repair children’s limb wounds.Methods:From January, 2017 to September, 2019, the Flow-through latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap was used to repair the limb wounds in 9 children, which were 3 cases of upper extremity wounds and 6 cases of lower extremity wounds. The patients were 5-12 years old, with an average age of 9.4 years. The wound debridement was performed in the first stage, and the wound was covered with VSD. The second operation was performed 5-8 days later. Flow-through free latissimus dorsi muscle flap was used to repair the wound, and 6 patients combined with skin grafting. During the operation, both ends of the recipient area artery were trimmed into a downward slant. The proximal end of the recipient area blood vessel was coincided with the subscapular artery, the distal end was coincided with the circumflex scapular artery, and the thoracodorsal vein and the recipient area vein were coincided. One patient had 2 thoracodorsal veins, and 8 patients had 1 thoracodorsal vein. After the operation, the patients were given anti-infection, anticoagulation and antispasmodic treatment. And regular follow-up.Results:In this group, 8 flaps survived completely, and 1 had partial epidermal necrosis, which healed under the scab. Skin grafting survives well. Nine patients were followed-up for 3 to 28 months, 7 of which were followed-up in the outpatient clinic, and 2 by WeChat. CDU showed smooth blood flow in all patients 1 month after operation, in addition of 3 after 1 year. The flap had good blood flow and soft texture. Flap plastic surgery was performed in 3 cases.Conclusion:Using Flow-through latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap to repair the wounds of the children’s limbs, the flap survived well after the operation, and the blood circulation of the main vessel in the affected area was smooth, which had no obvious effect on the blood supply to the distal limb of the affected area.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of treating de novo coronary lesions with paclitaxel-eluting balloon. Methods: This is a retrospective study, which enrolled 76 patients with 80 de novo coronary lesions treated with paclitaxel-eluting balloons(<30% residual stenosis and there was no blood flow limited dissection after pretreatment) from April 2015 to November 2016 in Guangdong general hospital. The data of basic characteristics,procedures,devices and follow-up information were retrieved and analyzed. The primary endpoint was the composite of cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization. Results: (1)The age was (63.3±10.3) years. There were 68.4%(52/76) acute coronary syndrome patients, prevalence of type 2 diabetes was 36.8%(28/76), and 64.5%(49/76)patients with at least one high bleeding risk. (2)The lesion length was (17.4±7.6)mm, and the stenosis was (88.1±8.2)%.The reference vessel diameter≥2.75 mm accounted for 51.2% (41/80), and bifurcation stenosis accounted for 67.5%(54/80). (3)53.7%(43/80) lesions were pretreated with scoring balloon to optimize plaque modification. The paclitaxel-eluting balloon length and diameter were (22.3±5.5)mm and (2.74±0.52)mm.The residual stenosis was (12.3±10.3)%. Procedural success was 88.8%(71/80).Bail-out stenting rate was 5.0%(4/80). (4)The median follow-up duration was 12(6, 25) months. Primary endpoint occurred in 3 cases (3.9%), including 2 cardiac deaths(1 patient died of recurrent myocardial infarction, and 1 patient died of acute heart failure induced by severe mitral insufficiency), and one patient receivedtarget lesion revascularization. Conclusion In case of no more than 30% residual stenosis and no blood flow limited dissection after lesion pretreatment,it is safe and feasible to treat de novo coronary lesionsusing paclitaxel-eluting balloon.

Aim To explore the effect of meloxicam on the CUMS-induced depressive-like behaviors in rats and its preliminary mechanism. Methods The rats were exposed to CUMS procedure for 6 weeks to estab-lish the model of depression. Meloxicam(1,3 mg· kg-1 ) and sertraline(5 mg·kg-1 ) were administered to rats from 22d of the stress procedure(once a day,for 21 days,p. o. ) . Depressive-like behaviors were evalu-ated by the open-field test and force swimming test. The levels of PGE2 and TNF-αin cortex were measured by ELISA. Moreover, the concentrations of NE, DA, DOPAC and 5-HIAA were also measured by HPLC, and the protein expression of 5-HT1 AR in cortex was analyzed by the immunohistochemistry. Results Com-pared with the rats of normal control group,the vertical and horizontal movement scores of rats in the open-field test were decreased and the immobility time in the forced swimming test was increased in model group. The levels of PGE2 and TNF-α were both increased signifi-cantly,whereas the concentrations of NE, DA, DOPAC and 5-HIAA were decreased and the expression of 5-HT1AR was reduced in cortex. Compared with the rats of model group, meloxicam significantly improved the depressive behaviors of rats in experimental groups and reversed the content of PGE2 ,TNF-α,NE,DA,DOPAC and 5-HIAA, as well as the expression of 5-HT1AR. Conclusion Meloxicam has a significant protective effect on CUMS-induced depressive-like behaviors, and the protective mechanism might be related to atten-uating inflammation response and reconstructing the balance of the monoamine neurotransmitter system in rat cortex.

Objective: To explore the predictive value of fractional lfow reserve (FFR) level for long-term prognosis in patients after coronary drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation, and to analyze the relevant factors affecting the level of post-operative FFR. Methods: A total of 135 patients who received DES implantation in our hospital from 2012-01 to 2013-07 with coronary intermediate lesion at (50-80) % were studied. The relevant factors for MACE occurrence were studied by multivariate logistic regression analysis, the post-stent FFR level for predicting the long term prognosis after DES implantation was ifnally analyzed by ROC curve. Results: All patients ifnished 1 year follow-up study including 104 male and 31 female with the mean age of (63 ± 9) years. The post-stent FFR level was lower in MACE group than that in Non-MACE group, (0.82 ± 0.07) vs (0.87 ± 0.06),P=0.004. Multivariate logistic regression analysis presented that the higher level of post-stent FFR was the protective factor for MACE occurrence (OR=0.212,P=0.039); the post-stent FFR level had certain predictive value for MACE occurrence at 1 year after DES implantation (AUC=0.706,P=0.006); Kaplan-Meier survival study showed that the patients with post-stent FFR<0.875 had the less MACE occurrence than those with FFR≥0.875,P=0.012. Multivariate logistic regression analysis also indicated that post-stent FFR≥0.875 was positively related to right coronary target vessel, higher pre-operative FFR level and larger stent diameter.Conclusion: Post-stent FFR level had certain predictive value for MACE occurrence in patients at 1 year after DES implantation, the patients with post-stent FFR≥0.875 had the lower MACE occurrence rate than those with FFR<0.875.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of myeloperoxidase (MPO)in diagnosis of non-ST elevation acute cor-onary syndromes (NSTE ACS).Methods The MPO was determined in 61 unstable angina pectoris (UAP)patients and 54 non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTE MI)patients,then analyzed the data with receiver operationg characteristic curve (ROC curve)statistical software.The major adverse cardiac events (MACE)were obseved in 106 NSTE ACS patients through 1 year of follow-up.Results The MPO values of NSTE MI group and UAP group were 672±418 ng/ml and 459± 328 ng/ml,the difference was statistically significant (t=3.928,P <0.001).The cTnI values were 558±261 pg/ml and 405 ±278 pg/ml of respectively.The difference was statistically significant (t = 3.089,P = 0.003).The area under the ROC curve of MPO was 0.726 when the optimal cutoff value was 382 ng/ml in the diagnosis of NSTE MI.The sensitivity and specificity was 92.6% and 39.8%.The area under the ROC curve of cTnI was 0.799 when the optimal cutoff value was 484 ng/ml in the diagnosis of NSTE MI.The sensitivity and specificity was 65.5% and 92.3%.High MPO maintained a strong association with the risk of major adverse cardiac events through 1 year of follow-up.Conclussion MPO is ahigh sensitivity marker of the NSTE MI and of clinical value for prognosis of NSTE ACS.
