Objective:To investigate the incidence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after hip replacement surgery in middle-aged and elderly patients and to explore the risk factors.Methods:A total of 121 middle-aged and elderly patients who underwent hip replacement in the Tianjin People's Hospital from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 were collected for analysis. The basic characteristics of the patients included were statistically described by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:There were 98 male patients and 23 female patients, with an average age of 59.55±9.53 years. 51 patients developed postoperative DVT of the lower limbs, with an incidence of 42.1%. Older age ( OR=1.129, 95% CI=1.013-1.239), body mass index (BMI, kg/m 2) ≥24 ( OR=1.493, 95% CI=1.066-2.314), history of diabetes ( OR=1.293, 95% CI=1.114-2.094), and long postoperative hospital stay ( OR=1.203, 95% CI=1.056-1.377) were risk factors. Conclusions:The risk of lower extremity DVT after hip replacement surgery was higher in middle-aged and elderly patients. In clinical practice, we should pay attention to risk factors and focus on key groups to prevent the occurrence and development of lower extremity DVT.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of total mesoesophageal excision and sanye lymph node dissection in the radical resection of esophageal carcinoma under thoracoscopy and laparoscopy,and to investigate its safety and feasibility, and to find a more reasonable and effective surgical treatment of esophageal carcinoma. Methods One hundred and twenty-six cases of esophageal cancer who underwent the minimally invasive surgery under thoracoscopy and laparoscopy for esophageal cancer in Central Hospital of Hengyang from October 2015 to September 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them,Sixty-four patients accepted total mesoesophageal excision and sanye lymph node dissection under thoracoscopy and laparoscopy (observation group ), Sixty-two cases accepted with conventional esophagectomy under thoracoscopy and laparoscopy ( control group) . The operation time, blood loss, indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube, postoperative drainage volume,postoperative hospitalization time,number of lymph node dissection,lymph node metastasis degree,perioperative complications of the two groups were analyzed and compared. The number of lymph node dissection and lymph node metastasis degree in different regions were compared between the two groups. The number of recurrence and death were recorded in the two groups. Results Compared with the control group,the operation time was longer in the observation group((264. 9±32. 9) min vs. (233. 5±30. 4) min,t= -5. 56,P<0. 001),but blood loss was less((152. 7±26. 4) ml vs. (235. 5± 30. 6) ml,t = 16. 27,P<0. 001). There was no significant difference in the indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube, postoperative drainage volume or postoperative hospitalization time between the two groups (P>0. 05). The number of lymph nodes in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ((32. 7±15. 5) pieces vs. (20. 9±11. 2) pieces,t = - 4. 93,P< 0. 001),and lymph node metastasis degree in the observation group was smaller than that of the control group ( 6. 7% vs. 9. 3%, χ2 = 7. 22, P < 0. 01) . There were no significant differences in perioperative complications such as pulmonary complications, arrhythmia, anastomotic fistula, chylothorax,hemorrhage,recurrent laryngeal nerve injury,tracheal injury and perioperative death (P>0. 05). Left and right recurrent laryngeal nerve,thoracic esophagus,celiac artery lymph node dissection of the number of observation group was higher than that of the control group ((4. 7 ± 3. 2) pieces vs. (1. 5 ± 1. 4) pieces, t= -7. 25;(6. 0±2. 7) pieces vs. (3. 1±1. 7) pieces,t = -7. 12;(5. 7± 2. 4) pieces vs. (3. 2± 1. 9) pieces,t= -6. 48;P<0. 001). Left and right recurrent laryngeal nerve,thoracic esophagus lymph node metastasis degree in the observation group was smaller than that in the control group (8. 7%(26/ 300) vs. 18. 1%(17/ 94),χ2= 6. 53;8. 9%(34/ 382) vs. 17. 9%(35/ 195),χ2 = 10. 04;P<0. 05) . There were no significant differences in the recurrence rate of tumor recurrence at 1 and 24 months after operation in the observation group and the control group(3 cases(4. 7%) vs. 4 cases(6. 5%),χ2 = 0. 92,P > 0. 05) . There were no deaths in the two groups. Conclusion Total mesoesophageal excision and three-field lymph node dissection in radical resection of esophageal carcinoma under thoracoscopy and laparoscopy is safe and feasible,the recent effect does not increase the surgical complications, but its long-term effect need a lot of long-term follow-up. A relatively thorough cleaning of the esophageal mesentery and its lymph nodes can minimize the tumor in the subendothelial micrometastasis,and is beneficial for the prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer.

Objective To analyze the feasibility and clinical effect of thoracoscopy and laparoscopy minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of esophageal cancer.Methods Eighty-six cases patients with esophageal cancer who were underwent the minimally invasive surgery under thoracoscopy and laparoscopy for esophageal cancer in the Central Hospital of Hengyang from August 2014 to February 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.Operation time,bleeding volume,indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube,length of stay,number of lymph node dissection,postoperative complications and so on were recorded.Results All patients were successfully completed surgery,no intraoperative death and intraoperative massive hemorrhage.Operation time was 270-380 min,the amount of bleeding during the operation was 50-550 ml.Chest drainage tube was removed from 3 to 10 d after operation.The number of lymph node dissected was 10-19.Lymph node metastasis was found in 13 cases.Postoperative cervical anastomotic fistula in 6(7.0%) cases,hoarseness in 8(9.3%) cases,7(8.1%) cases of pulmonary infection,and 1(1.2%) case of chylothorax,all were cured after conservative treatment.Postoperative hospital stay was 9-20 d.The patients were followed up for 3 to 21 months,1 case had lymph node metastasis in 10 months after surgery,and the other patients had no recurrence,metastasis or death.Conclusion Minimally invasive surgery under thoracoscopy and laparoscopy for esophageal cancer is safe and feasible,clinical effect is satisfied,it is worthy of further clinical application.

OBJECTIVE: To isolate the collagen phagocytic subpopulation of fibroblast (CPSF) and non-collagen phagocytic subpopulation of fibroblast (nCPSF) and to identify their differentially expressed genes.
 METHODS: The CPSF and nCPSF was isolated by using collagen-fluorescein-isothiocynate-latex bead (COL-FITC-LB) phagocytosis technique and FCM sorting method. Microarray analysis was used to screen the differentially expressed genes, which were verified by real-time PCR. 
 RESULTS: CPSF and nCPSF was successfully isolated. Seventeen differentially expressed genes were identified. Compared with nCPSF, the expression of 12 or 5 genes was up-regulated or down-regulated in CPSF. Three of the 12 up-regulated genes were urokinase plasminogen activator receptor-associated protein (uPARAP), cytochrome b-245, beta polypeptide (CYBB) and Hook homolog 1 (HOOK1), which were confirmed by real-time PCR. uPARAP mRNA expression level in CPSF was 2788 times of that in nCPSF. CYBB mRNA expression in CPSF was only 0.85 times of that in nCPSF. HOOK1 mRNA expression in CPSF was 1.96 times of that in nCPSF (P<0.05). 
 CONCLUSION A novel method is successfully established to isolate CPSF and nCPSF. uPARAP is the main differentially expressed gene in CPSF and nCPSF, which is obviously involved in the fibroblast collagen phagocytosis. It might be a potential biomarker for treatment of collagen diseases.

Objective To investigate the expression and the effects of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) on lungs of rats with sepsis.Methods Forty Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into two groups,namely sham group (n =8) and sepsis model group (n =32).The rats of model group were modeled by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP),and were further divided into four subgroups as per the time after modeling,namely 6 h (n =8),12 h (n =8),24 h (n =8),48 h (n =8)subgroups.Blood and lung samples were taken 6 h,12 h,24 h and 48 h after modeling.The histological changes in lungs of the rats were observed under light microscope.Expressions of TIMP-1 mRNA,Bax mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA in lungs were measured by RT-PCR.The immunohistochemistry was used to label the CD18 in lungs during different phases of sepsis.The data were processed by t test.Results Compared with sham group,the lung tissues of rats in model group were injured to a certain extent after CLP.The expression of TIMP-1 mRNA and the number of CD18 positive cells increased at the same time (P ＜ 0.01),and peaked 24 hours later (P ＜ 0.01).While the expression of Bax mRNA in model group decreased markedly 12-48 hours after modeling (P ＜ 0.01-0.05),and reached minimum 48 hours later (P ＜ 0.01).The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in model group changed unnoticeable.The positive correlation between variations in number of CD18 positive cells and expression of TIMP-1 mRNA was found in model group (r =0.426,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The increase in expression of TIMP-1 mRNA in lungs is closely associated with the lung injury of sepsis.The mechanism of lung injury is likely attributed to the preservation of inflammatory cells from apoptosis,and the persistent inflammation response causes tissue damage,leading to organ dysfunction.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVEImmunocompromised patients with malignant tumor always lack of strong anti-tumor immune response, because the antigenicity of tumor cells is weak, and antigen-presenting cell function is low, so that can not be effectively presenting tumor antigens to the lymphocytes. Therefore, how to effectively induce anti-tumor immune response is the key issue. Through the study on establishing a method to culture dendritic cells (DC) in vitro and to observe the anti-lung cancer immunological effect induced by DC, we provided definite experiment basis for the clinic application of vaccine based on DC.

METHODSThrough the experiment we get the soluble antigen polypeptide from lung cancer cells GLC-82 by 3 mol/L potassium chloride. DCs are cultured and obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear cell by GM-CSF, IL-4 and TNF-a. DCs are identified by flow cytometer (FCM) and immunostaining. DCs modified by lung cancer tumor soluble antigen (TSA) and staphylococcal enterotox in A (SEA), DCs modified by TSA or DCs modified by SEA or DCs modified by nothing were cultivated together with T lymphocyte, and the obtained cells are named TSA-SEA-DCL or TSA-DCL or SEA-DCL or DCL as effector cells. The anti-tumor activity of every effector cells against target cells was assayed with MT method. Shape of DCs and effector cells, and the process of killing target cells were observed in microscope.

RESULTSInduced DCs expressed more CD1a, CD80 and HLA-DR, which had typical cell traits such as tree branch. The killing ratio of the TSA-SEA-DCL in vitro to GLC-82 is larger than TSA-DCL, SEA-DCL and DCL, also larger than to K562. When the effector cells cultivate with target cells, we can observe the CTL approach and gather to the cancer cell, induce it necrosis and apoptosis.

CONCLUSIONRipe DCs that have typical characteristic and phenotype could be induced successfully. High potency and relatively specific antilung caner effect can be prepared in virtue ofDC Bacterin Induced by lung caner TSA and SEA.

Since the introduction of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, restenosis has remained the most challenging problem facing interventional cardiologist. Intravascular radiation is a feasible and promising adjunctive therapy in restenosis treatment by suppressing both neointimal proliferation and constrictive remodeling, while there are growing concerns about its long-term effects and complications in clinical perspectives as well as dosing and paradoxical stimulation. Current comments on them may well favor the choice of comprehensive treatment protocol for clinicians.
