1.Research advances on the role of microRNA engineered exosomes in diabetic wounds
Chinese Journal of Burns 2024;40(2):190-195
Diabetic wounds are a common complication in patients with diabetes, which is difficult to treat. Current treatment methods for diabetic wounds include debridement, functional dressing coverage, negative pressure therapy, bone cement filling, and skin grafting, etc. MicroRNA (miRNA) engineered exosomes have shown promising potential in diabetic wound repair due to the ability to alleviate inflammation, stimulate angiogenesis, and promote collagen deposition and re-epithelialization. Related researches are being actively carred out. This paper reviews the pathophysiological characteristics of diabetic wounds, the characteristics of miRNA and exosomes, the engineering methods for exosomes loaded with miRNA, and the mechanism of miRNA engineered exosomes in promoting healing of diabetic wounds, aiming to provide a reference basis for the future clinical application of miRNA engineered exosomes in diabetic wounds.

Objective To evaluate the peri-operative and survival outcomes of hepatectomy combined with splenectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer Stage A and portal hypertension.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data on patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer Stage A and portal hypertension who underwent surgery at the Shengli Oilfield Central Hospital between July 2008 and June 2015.According to the operative method,the patients were classified as the experimental group (hepatectomy combined with splenectomy) and the control group (hepatectomy).We compared and analyzed the clinical data between these two groups,which included the operation time,blood loss,duration of hepatic portal occlusion,width of surgical resection margin,liver function,PLT,HBV reactivation,time to remove drainage tube,complications,upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage rate and survival outcomes.Results (1) The operation time,blood loss,PLT at 1 week and 1 month after surgery in the experimental group were all significantly higher than the control group [(161.4 ± 38.3) min vs.(119.2±36.4) min,(268.7±72.1) vs.(201.3±61.3) ml,(189.2±51.3) ×109/L vs.(81.9±32.2) ×109/L,(327.4±69.1) ×109/L vs.(84.5±28.5) × 109/L (all P<0.05),respectively].The time to remove drainage tube,duration of hepatic portal occlusion,width of resection surgical margin,TBil,complications and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage rates of the two groups were not significantly different (all P > 0.05).The HBV reactivation rate,ALT and AST in the experimental group were significantly lower than the control group [3.9% (2/51) vs.18.2% (12/66),(45.7 ± 11.4) U/L vs.(58.3±14.7) U/L,(48.1±12.4) U/Lvs.(61.3±15.1) U/L (allP<0.05),respectively].(2) The 1,3 and 5-year recurrence free survival rates were not significantly different between the experimental and control groups [84.3 %,34.1%,27.3 % vs.78.8 %,42.1%,9.7 % (all P > 0.05),respectively].The 1,3 and 5-year overall survival rates in the experimental Group were significantly higher than the control group [94.1%,66.3 %,33.5 % vs.90.9%,46.7%,16.1% (all P < 0.05),respectively].Conclusion Combined liver and spleen resection was a safe and efficacious modality to treat patients with BCLC A hepatocellular carcinoma,which reduced the incidence of HBV reactivation and improved the overall survival.
