Objective:To study the antibacterial properties and in vivo and vitro biocompatibility of Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressings, and to evaluate their wound healing promoting effect through clinical application.Methods:We evaluated the comprehensive antibacterial performance of dressings in vitro using plate counting method; After co culturing the extract of Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressings with epidermal cells (HaCaT) and fibroblasts (NIH-3T3), their in-vitro biocompatibility was determined through the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) test; Further, Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing was applied to the wound surface of diabetes mice to test the biocompatibility of the material in vivo; Through a prospective randomized controlled trial, 50 burn and trauma patients admitted to the Burn and Plastic Surgery Department of the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were selected and divided into an observation group of 25 patients and a control group of 25 patients. The observation group was treated with Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing, and the control group was treated with silver nanoparticle antibacterial dressing. The wound healing time and wound treatment effect of the two groups were compared.Results:The Cu 2+ release concentration of Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressings detected by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was 1.3 μ g/ml, which had the effect of promoting the proliferation of HaCaT and NIH-3T3 cells (all P<0.05). The antibacterial rate of Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing against pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus reached 100%. The wound healing rate [(87.39±1.83)%] of diabetes mice treated with Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing was significantly higher than that of the control group [(58.66±3.54)%, P<0.05]. The inflammatory response of the wound tissue was relatively mild and the wound margin matrix was intact. The wound healing time of 25 patients treated with Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing [(23.52±10.02)d] was shorter than that of the control group [(40.84±21.22)d] ( t=17.159, P<0.001), and the overall treatment response rate of patients (96%) was significantly higher than that of the control group patients (64%) (χ 2=8.472, P=0.015). Conclusions:Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressings have good antibacterial properties and biocompatibility, and have significant therapeutic effects on promoting wound healing. They not only effectively promote wound healing but also exert anti infection effects, and are expected to be a new type of wound repair dressing.

Objective: To explore the association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C gene polymorphisms and toxicity of Methotrexate(MTX) chemotherapy in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods: From January 2015 to June 2018, 128 pediatric patients with ALL in southern Fujian who were admitted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University were selected.Their peripheral blood 2 mL was collected and genomic DNA was extracted.The MTHFR genotype was detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) direct sequencing method, and the clinical significance of HD-MTX on ALL children with toxic and side effects was evaluated according to the National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicity Criteria. Results: Among 128 children, 54 cases(42.2%) presented rash, 48 cases (37.5%)with mucosal lesions, 51 cases (39.8%) with liver function damage, 23 cases (18.0%) with renal function damage, 52 cases (40.6%) with gastrointestinal reactions, 38 cases (29.7%)with leukopenia, 34 cases (26.6%) with thrombocytopenia and 63 cases (49.2%) with hemoglobin reduction.There was no significant difference in the incidence of MTX adverse reactions (rash, mucosa lesions, liver and renal function damage, gastrointestinal reaction, leukopenia, hemoglobin decrease and thrombocytopenia) between the MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms (all P>0.05). The different clinical risk (MTX dose) of the children was not statistically signi-ficant in the MTHFR C677T and A1298C genotypes and allele frequencies (χ²=2.573, 2.264, 1.615, 0.267; all P>0.05). There was no significant difference among the abnormal incidence of MTX at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h (all P>0.05). Conclusions MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms do not seem to be good markers of MTX-related toxicity and/or outcome in pediatric ALL in southern Fujian, and its clinical application still needs further discussion.

Objective To investigate the clinical treatment strategy of large and giant pituitary adenomas invading the cavernous sinus.Methods One hundred and nine patients with large and giant pituitary adenomas invading the cavernous sinus,admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to December 2018,were chosen in our study.Four patients with prolactin-type pituitary adenomas received oral treatment with bromocriptine;the remaining 105 patients received surgical treatment,and choices of surgical approach were based on classification of pituitary adenomas.The clinical data and efficacies of these patients accepted different treatment approach were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of the 105 patients with pituitary adenomas,63 (60％) were of type Ⅰ,15 (14.3％) were of type Ⅱ,18 (17.1％)were of type Ⅲ,and 9 (8.6％) were of type Ⅳ.Single extended transsphenoidal approach was used in 75 patients,transcranial approach was used in 26 patients,and combined extended transsphenoidal and transcranial approach was used in 4 patients.Gross total tumor resection was achieved in 86 patients,subtotal resection in 17 patients,and partial resection in two patients.Ten patients had new cranial nerve palsy after surgery,including 7 with oculomotor nerve palsy and three with abductor nerve palsy;two patients with preoperative neurological paralysis were aggravated,and both of them were oculomotor nerves;transient insipidus was noted in 19 patients and electrolyte disorder was noted in 23 patients;no permanent insipidus,cerebrospinal fluid leakage or intracranial infection,and no new or aggravated visual field vision disorder were noted.Conclusion Reasonable clinical treatment strategies and appropriate microsurgical approaches can achieve good therapeutic effect in patients with large and giant pituitary adenomas invading the cavernous sinus.

Objective To evaluate the association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene C677T polymorphism and susceptibility to methotrexate (MTX) adverse reaction in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy. Method The data bases of The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, EMCC, OVID, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were searched for relevant articles published in English and Chinese up to March 2016. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed bias risk in the included studies. The RevMan 5.3 and Stata 12 software were used to analyze the association between gene polymorphism and the adverse reaction of MTX chemotherapy with the recessive, dominance, co-dominance, addition and allele gene model respectively. Results A total of 12 studies were included and all of them were case-control study, with 1419 cases in case group and 2188 cases in control group. The results of meta-analysis showed that the MTHFR gene polymorphism was unrelated to the untoward effect of neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hemoglobin reduction, mucosal damage and liver function damage during MTX chemotherapy in children with ALL under the 5 analytical models. Under the co-dominance gene model, the association between MTHFR polymorphism C677T and overall adverse reaction of MTX was statistically significant (OR=1.39, 95％CI: 1.02～1.91, P=0.04). In the recessive gene model, the C677T polymorphism of MTHFR was associated with a reduced risk of gastrointestinal adverse reactions during MTX chemotherapy (OR=3.31, 95％CI: 1.03～10.59, P=0.04). In the dominance gene model, the C677T polymorphism of MTHFR was associated with a reduced risk of skin damage induced by MTX chemotherapy (OR=3.05, 95％CI: 1.25～7.41, P=0.01). Conclusion There is no significant association between the C677T polymorphism of MTHFR and the adverse effects of MTX chemotherapy, butfurther studies with larger sample size are needed.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant cancers in the world.In China,the incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing year by year,with the characteristics of the insidious onset,long-time canceration and high cure rate of early-stage tumors.These will lead to the crucial significance of prevention and screening work for reducing the incidence of colorectal cancer,improving the cure rate and reducing the relevant medical costs.Screening and prevention of colorectal cancer has been carried out for nearly half a century in the world.However,systematic screening began at the beginning of this century in China.This article reviewed the results,methods,strategies and main problems of colorectal cancer screening in China and abroad.

Objective To analyze the risk factors affecting postoperative incisional infection in Crohn's disease (CD) patients after bowel resection.Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinicopathologieal data of 239 CD patients who underwent bowel resection in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2007 and December 2016 were collected.All patients underwent bowel resection.Observation indicators:(1) surgical situations;(2) follow-up;(3) risk factors analysis affecting postoperative incisional infection;(4) clinical factors affecting preoperative anemia.The follow-up using outpatient examination or ward diagnosis was performed to detect incisional infection within 30 days postoperatively up to January 2017.The normality test was done by Shapiro-Wilk.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as x-±s,and comparison between groups was evaluated with the t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range),and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Wilcoxon ranksum test.The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were done using the Logistic regression model.The P＜ 0.05 in univariate analysis was incorporated into multivariate analysis for analysis in the forward wald.Results (1) Surgical situations:of 239 patients,11 underwent emergency surgery and 228 underwent elective surgery;65 and 174 underwent respectively laparoscopic surgery and open surgery;179 received digestive tract reconstruction and anastomosis and 81 received enterostomy (21 combined with anastomosis and enterostomy).Among 239 patients,137,113,101,58,54 and 11 were complicated respectively with fiber stenosis,intestinal fistula,obstruction of small intestine,abscess,cellulitis and enterobrosis (some patients combined with multiple signs).(2) Follow-up:239 patients were followed up at 30 days postoperatively.During the follow-up,48 with incisional infection were improved by symptomatic treatment.(3) Risk factors analysis affecting postoperative incisional infection:① Results of univariate analysis showed that illness behavior,sedimentation rate of RBC ＞ 20 mm/h,preoperative anemia,preoperative chronic intestinal fistula,open surgery,intraoperative fiber stenosis and intraoperative intestinal fistula were risk factors affecting occurrence of postoperative incisional infection [odds ratio (0R)=2.530,2.579,4.233,2.988,2.554,0.503,3.052,95％ confidence interval (CI):1.218-2.259,1.141-5.833,1.598-11.210,1.522-5.864,1.082-6.029,0.265-0.954,1.555-5.993,P＜0.05].② Results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative anemia and intraoperative intestinal fistula were independent risk factors affecting occurrence of postoperative incisional infection (OR =3.881,2.837,95％ CI:1.449-10.396,1.429-5.634,P＜0.05).(4) Clinical factors affecting preoperative anemia:cases (male) with preoperative anemia,body mass index (BMI),cases with sedimentation rate of RBC ＞ 20 mm/h,platelet (PLT) ＞ 300x109/L,elevated C-reactive protein,albumin (Alb) ＜35 g/L were respectively 120,(17.4±2.9)kg/m2,130,75,139,65 in patients with preoperative anemia and 65,(18.3±2.9)kg/m2,36,12,39,10 in patients without preoperative anemia,with statistically significant differences (x2 =17.966,t =2.210,x2 =12.219,14.440,14.661,12.272,P＜0.05).Conclusion The preoperative anemia and intraoperative intestinal fistula are independent risk factors affecting occurrence of postoperative incisional infection,and preoperative anemia is associated with perioperative inflammatory conditions.

Objective: To review children′s primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) in the pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, diagnosis and treatment. Method: To summarize and analyze the clinical data of a patient who was admitted to the first affiliated hospital of Xiamen University with primary ciliary dyskinesia in April 2014 while referring to related literature. Result: An 11 years old boy, weighting about 22 kg, had a course of more than 10 years with repeated cough, stuffy and runny nose shortly after the birth. Examinations after admission to hospital showed that he presented with visible clubbing, bilateral paranasal sinus area tenderness, pharynx posterior wall with visible yellow pussy stuff drip and bilateral lung had scattered wet rales. Auxiliary examination revealed bilateral maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinus inflammation and bronchitis with left lower lung bronchiectasis. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy discovered congestion and a lot of sputum; ciliary biopsy pathology displayed that cilia were sparse and partial cilia 9+ 2 microtubules structural abnormalities. Full sequence of exon gene sequencing revealed two mutations located at chromosome 16 chr16: 71061369 (non-coding regions) and chr16: 70993591 (coding). Two novel mutations m. 3362A>G(E20) and c. 6101G>A(E39) in exon 16 of the HYDIN gene were identified. With the" ciliary motility disorder, gene" as keywords , the CNKI, Wanfang digital knowledge service platform and PubMed were searched for relevant articles from the establishment to July 2016. The studies retrieved included 9 cases and these cases were summarized. Comprehensive analysis showed that HYDIN gene mutations related PCD patients had the typical PCD performance such as repeatedly wet cough, sinusitis, bronchiectasis, and otitis media. The majority of patients have a history of acute respiratory distress syndrome in infancy and no visceral dislocation was not found. Most of the patients had no obvious structural abnormalities in cilia electron microscopic examination. Conclusion The PCD patients with HYDIN genes mutations have clinical manifestations such as sinusitis, otitis media, bronchiectasis but without transposition of viscera. Cilia structure can be normal under the electron microscopic examination in some of patients.

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease in China is rising on a yearly basis, followed by an increased number of patients who require surgery and those who suffer from maneuver postoperative complications. Surgical treatment is important in the management of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. Management and prevention of postoperative complications is also a key factor to the success of surgical treatment if it is not more important than the surgical procedure itself. In this article, the most recent literatures in this field will be reviewed combined with our own clinical experiences. The types, risk factors, preoperative prevention strategies as well as postoperative management of surgical complications of patients with inflammatory bowel disease will be discussed.
