Objective:To explore the effect of hallux nail flap design assisted with 3D printing in reconstruction of thumb defect in degloving injury.Methods:From January 2020 to March 2022, 16 patients with thumb defect caused by degloving injury with intact digit flexor and extensor tendons were treated. The patients were 11 males and 5 females, aged 20 to 52 years old, with an average age of 31 years old. The injured patient's hands were firstly scanned by CT and the 3D models were created to map the profile of the tissues required for reconstruction. Photopolymer templates for the defects in thumb were then 3D printed. The printed templates were put on the great toes and accordingly the hallux nail flaps were designed and harvested. The degloving wound of thumb was repaired by the hallux nail flap. Donor sites were repaired with artificial dermis in 6 patients and with ilioinguinal flaps in 10 patients. The effect of surgery was observed at outpatient clinic during postoperative follow-up. The survival of the hallux nail flap and the recovery of the donor site were observed. Function recovery were evaluated according to the Evaluation Standard of Finger Replantation and Reconstruction of Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association.Results:All the harvested hallux nail flaps matched with the profiles of recipient sites. All the hallux nail flaps survived over 4 to 30 months of follow-up, in an average of 16 months. Appearance of all hallux nail flaps was similar to normal thumbs, with good fingerprint and nails. Sensation recovery were S 3-S 4, with TPD at 4-7 mm. According to the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, 15 thumbs were excellent and 1 was good. Conclusion:Application of 3D printing assisted hallux nail flap transfer in reconstruction of defect of thumb in degloving injury can precisely design and harvest the required tissue and minimise a damage to the donor great toe. It improves the appearance of thumb as well as patient satisfaction. It is practical in reconstruction of the defect of thumb in degloving injury.

Obesity is increasingly prevalent globally, searching for therapeutic agents acting on adipose tissue is of great importance. Equisetin (EQST), a meroterpenoid isolated from a marine sponge-derived fungus, has been reported to display antibacterial and antiviral activities. Here, we revealed that EQST displayed anti-obesity effects acting on adipose tissue through inhibiting adipogenesis in vitro and attenuating HFD-induced obesity in mice, doing so without affecting food intake, blood pressure or heart rate. We demonstrated that EQST inhibited the enzyme activity of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), a therapeutic target of obesity in adipose tissue. Anti-obesity properties of EQST were all offset by applying excessive 11β-HSD1's substrates and 11β-HSD1 inhibition through knockdown in vitro or 11β-HSD1 knockout in vivo. In the 11β-HSD1 bypass model constructed by adding excess 11β-HSD1 products, EQST's anti-obesity effects disappeared. Furthermore, EQST directly bond to 11β-HSD1 protein and presented remarkable better intensity on 11β-HSD1 inhibition and better efficacy on anti-obesity than known 11β-HSD1 inhibitor. Therefore, EQST can be developed into anti-obesity candidate compound, and this study may provide more clues for developing higher effective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors.

OBJECTIVE:To ex plore the protective effects of Longbie capsule contained serum (called“LBJN”for short )on the apoptosis of chondrocytes induced by YAP inhibitor verteporfin and its mechanism. METHODS :Primary human knee osteoarthritis(OA)chondrocytes were extracted by two-step enzymatic digestion ,and then identif ied by toluidine blue staining and type Ⅱ collagen immunofluorescence staining. The effects of 2,5 μmol/L verteporfin alone or combined with 5%LBJN on cell apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Solvent control (0.1% DMSO)and 5% LBJN were set. Western blot assay was adopted to detect the expression of apoptosis related proteins (YAP,Bcl-2,cleaved-caspase-3) after treated with 0.1%DMSO(solvent control ),2 μmol/L verteporfin,2 μmol/L verteporfin+5%LBJN 和 0(blank control ),2.5% LBJN and 5% LBJN for 48 h. The expression of autophagy related proteins (mTOR,Beclin-1,LC3A/B) after treated with 0 (blank control ),2.5%,5% LBJN for 48 h were det ected by Western blot assay. RESULTS :The isolated cells accorded with the characteristics of chondrocytes. Compared with 0.1%DMSO, the apoptosis rates of cells were increased significantly after treated with 2,5 μmol/L verteporfin(P<0.05),and the effects of the two concentrations were similar (P>0.05). Compared with verteporfin alone ,2,5 μmol/L verteporfin combined with 5%LBJN could significantly decrease the apoptotic rate of cells (P<0.05). Compared with 0.1%DMSO,the protein expression of YAP and Bcl-2 were decreased significantly after treated with 2 μ mol/L verteporfin (P<0.05), while the protein expression of cleaved-caspase-3 were increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with 2 μmol/L verteporfin,protein expression of YAP and Bcl-2 were increased significantly after treated with 2 μmol/L verteporfin+5%LBJN(P<0.05),while the protein expression of cleaved-caspase-3 were decreased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with blank control ,the protein expression of YAP ,Bcl-2 and Beclin-1 were increased significantly after treated with 2.5%,5%LBJN(P<0.05),while protein expression of cleaved-caspase- 3 and mTOR were decreased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS :LBJN can block the apoptosis of chondrocytes induced by YAP inhibitor verteporfin ,and its mechanism may be related to regulating the expression of apoptosis related proteins and enhancing autophagy of chondrocytes.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of doctor-nurse co-led care involving education and engagement of patients on improving compliance of patients, and a treat-to-target urate-lowering rate for gout.Methods:Nurses were trained in practice management of gout. Patients diagnosed with gout in the departments of rheumatology and immunology of Anqing Municipal Hospital in Anhui Province were prospectively enrolled from January 1 to June 30, 2019. The patients were divided into the continuous-care group and the conventional management group by random number table method. The patients of continuous-care group received telephone follow-up, WeChat tracking and regular face-to-face communication. The patients of conventional management group were told to follow up regularly in the outpatient department, and the nurses did not follow up. Patients were evaluated before intervention and 12 months after intervention. The treat-to-target rate of blood uric acid and the frequency of gout flares were observed.Results:After 12 months of intervention, the patients of serum uric acid concentrations below 360 μmol/L were 92.39% (85/92) in the continuous-care group, and 26.74% (23/86) in the conventional management group. There was significant difference ( χ2 value was 80.282, P<0.001). After 12 months of intervention, the average serum uric acid concentration of patients in the continuous-care group was (301.6±61.4) μmol/L, and that in the conventional management group was (419.0±98.0) μmol/L, both of which were significantly lower than before intervention, continuous-care group (466.1±119.7) μmol/L, conventional management group (477.8±113.1) μmol/L. But the average serum uric acid concentration of patients in the continuous-care group was significantly lower than that in the conventional management group. There was significant difference between them ( t value was 96.678, P<0.001). At the end of 12 months, the patients of uric-acid-lowering therapy increased in both groups. The proportion of patients was 94.56% (87/92) in the continuous-care group, which was significantly higher than that in the conventional management group (58.14%, 50/86), there was significant difference ( χ2 value was 33.260, P<0.001). Conclusions:The mode of continuing nursing combined with specialized physician-led treatment can significantly improve the compliance and the control rate of treat-to-target for gout, and this management method is simple and feasible which provides a new management concept for clinical treatment of gout.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of ligustrazine on miR-20b/VEGF and BMP2/Smad1 pathways in subchondral bone of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) model rats, and to investigate the mechanism of ligustrazine for KOA prevention and treatment. METHODS: Totally 18 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, model group and ligustrazine group, with 6 rats in each group. The rats in the latter two groups were used to establish KOA model by intra-articular injection of 4% papain solution. From the 2nd day after the last injection, ligustrazine group was given intragastrical administration of Ligustrazine suspension (100 mg/kg) 2 mL; normal control group and model group were given intragastrical administration of isometrical normal saline, once a day, for consecutive 6 weeks. After the last after medication, the situation of bilateral knee articular cartilage of rats were observed after exposure. The knee joints of rats were sectioned and stained with HE. The pathological change of articular cartilage were observed by microscope and scored by modified Mankin’s score. mRNA expression of VEGF, BMP2 and Smad1, and the expression of miR-20b were detected by RT-PCR; the protein expression of VEGF, BMP2 and Smad1 were detected by Western blot assay. RESULTS: Model group and ligustrazine group suffered from cartilage injury of knee joint at varying degrees. Compared with normal control group, Mankin’s scores of knee joint and cartilage tissue were increased significantly in model group (P<0.01); mRNA and protein expression of BMP and Smad1, the expression of miR-20b in subchondral bone of model group were decreased significantly, while mRNA and protein expression of VEGF were increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group, Mankin’s score of cartilage tissue were decreased significantly in ligustrazine group (P<0.01); mRNA and protein expression of BMP and Smad1, the expression of miR-20b in subchondral bone were increased significantly, while mRNA and protein expression of VEGF were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Ligustrazine can repair damaged articular cartilage in KOA model rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting the protein expression of VEGF and activating BMP-2/Smad1 signaling pathway via up-regulating the expression of miR-20b, and promoting the degradation of VEGF mRNA in subchondral bone.
