ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of exposed bone cement in treatment of infectious bone and soft tissue defect by comparison with routine bone cement therapy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out in 27 patients who had been treated from January 2016 to January 2020. Of the 27 patients, 12 were treated by exposed bone cement filling for bone defect at the first stage, followed by flap and bone grafting at the second stage. Other 15 patients were treated by routine bone cement filling and flap repair at the first stage, followed by bone grafting at the second stage. Regular dressing change was carried out after surgery. All patients entered follow-up by out-patient review for wound condition and X-ray. Infection rate of bone and soft tissue, time of bone union, flap survive rate and complication were compared between the 2 groups.Results:The follow-up lased for 9-24(16.5±3.9 ) months. The bone defects were all healed. The treatment time of bone defects in the group of exposed bone cement was 25-34(28.5±2.8) weeks. The treatment time of bone defect in the routine cement group was 25-36(29.6±3.4 )weeks. There was no statistical difference between the 2 groups( P<0.05). Two cases in each group had failed in infection control after bone cement implantation. With further debridement, cleaning and other treatment, the infection was under control. All flaps in the 2 groups survived. In the group of exposed bone cement, there were 3 flaps splitting, 2 hemorrhage(effusion) and 1 partial flap necrosis, In the routine bone cement group, there were 4 wound dehiscence, 8 hemorrhage(effusion) and 3 partial flaps necrosis. There was no significant difference in flap complications between the 2 groups( P>0.05). The healing of bone defect was evaluated by Samantha X-ray score, the scores of the 2 groups were 5.41±0.67 and 5.40±0.63, respectively, with no statistical significance. The Paley's approach was used to grade the bone healing and the function of adjacent joints. Paley bone defect healing evaluation results weve all excellent. Joint function assessment were as follow: in the group of exposed bone cement, 6 cases were excellent and 3 were good; in routine bone cement group: 6 cases were in excellent and 5 in good. There was no significant statistical difference. Conclusion:Compared with a routine bone cement treatment, the exposed bone cement in the treatment of infectious bone defects saw a fewer flap splitting and fewer hemorrhage/effusion, without an increase in bone and soft tissue infection. This procedure could be considered for further trials in the treatment of a composite defects of infected bone and soft tissue.

The registration errors of the skin reference points were 2.8 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.9 mm and the accuracy errors of the abdominal cavity reference points were (2.5±0.4)mm, (2.3±0.7)mm, (2.6±0.6)mm for the 3 patients.Conclusion:The stereotactic digital navigation system assisted 3D laparoscopic TME for rectal cancer is safe and feasible.
ABSTRACT
Colorectal cancer is the fourth most malignant tumors in China, among which the left hemicolon cancer accounts for about 5%?6%. Due to the complex anatomy around the left hemicolon, being adjacent to the pancreas, spleen, kidney, ureter and other important organs, its vascular and nerve distribution is variably distributed, leading difficulties in laparoscopic radical surgery for left hemicolon cancer. In surgical practice, the 4K laparoscopic system has shown its features of high-definition amplification, good color reproduction, and clear anatomy, etc. However, there is still no clear consensus on its application in the radical resection for the left hemicolon cancer. The authors summarize clinical practice, explore the technique key points of 4K laparoscopic D 3 resection with complete mesocolic excision for the left hemicolon cancer.

ABSTRACT
To summarize the application of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) principles in treating long bone defect with free fibula graft (FVFG). Methods From January, 2012 to January, 2017, ERAS principles were applied in 26 cases of long bone defect treating with vascularized fibula flap graft, via a series of com-prehensive measures, including strengthening psychological nursing, nutrition support and pain management, optimiz-ing operation plan, and early scientific functional exercise. Surgical duration, hospital stay time, satisfaction of pa-tients, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, bone defect healing time, and Enneking score were recorded through regular outpatient follow-up after discharge. Results The average length of surgical duration and hospital stay time was(3.2±0.5) h and (10.2±1.2) d, respectively. Discharged satisfaction was greater than 95%. Postoperative VAS score was less than 3. During the follow-up period of 1.6-6.0 years, 26 fibular flap survived, and all the bone defect were healed, with an average healing time of (5.5±0.6) months.Followed-up at 1.5 years after the operation, the upper limb function of 7 patients increased by 80.1%, and the lower limb function of 19 patients increased by 82.5%. Conclusion The application of ERAS in treating long bone defect with FVFG can obtain satisfactory limb function, alleviate patients’pain, shorten the duration of hospitalization, promote the rehabilitation and satisfaction of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of antimicrobial peptide LL-37 secreted by stromal cells on the growth of colorectal cancer cells.@*Methods@#Colorectal cancer cells SW480 or HCT116 were co-cultured with human macrophages using Transwell® maxicell inserts to mimic the tumor microenvironment. The effect of macrophages on the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells was detected by Bromodeoxyuridine and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (BrdU-ELISA). The expression of LL-37 mRNA and protein in macrophages and colorectal cancer cells was evaluated by reverse transcription-real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot. LL-37 neutralizing antibody was added to abrogate the LL-37 activation. Additionally, macrophages were transfected with LL-37 shRNA plasmids to inhibit LL-37 expression. And then, the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells was observed. Furthermore, the growth-related signaling pathways were detected by Western blot.@*Results@#The BrdU-ELISA results showed that the absorbance of SW480 cells increased from 1.072±0.097 to 5.121±0.407 after co-culture (P<0.001), and that of HCT116 cells increased from 1.229±0.073 to 3.495±0.228 (P<0.001). RT-qPCR results showed that LL-37 mRNA expression in macrophages significantly increased from 2.682±0.191 to 6.117±0.768 after co-incubation (P<0.05), whereas that in SW480 had no significant difference. Consistently the protein expression of LL-37 in macrophages was significantly increased by Western blot, while it did not change in SW480. The proliferation rate of SW480 cells was repressed by adding LL-37 neutralizing antibody or LL-37 shRNA plasmid. Furthermore, Western blot analysis showed that the expression of non-phosphorylated (activated) β-catenin and its target genes cyclin D1 as well as c-myc were distinctly increased in co-cultured SW480 cells, which could be reversed by anti-LL-37 antibodies.@*Conclusion@#Macrophages promote the in vitro proliferation of colorectal cancer cells by enhancing the expression and secretion of antimicrobial peptides LL-37, and it seems that LL-37 activates colorectal cancer cells via Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

It was 0.7％of nonunion incidence rate in the observation group, and incidence of avascular necrosis of femoral head was 6.6％, and incidence of femoral neck shortening was 8.8％. In the control group, inci-dence of avascular necrosis of femoral head was 14.6％, nonunion incidence rate was 4.6％, and incidence of femoral neck shortening was 22.5％. The differences between two groups was statistically significance( P<0.05). Conclusion The open reduction and internal fixation which is hallow compression screws in combination with a greater trochanter bone graft supported by the profound branch of medial circumflex femoral artery is an optimal treatment for young adults with Garden III and IV femoral neck fractures.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the feasibility, safety, and preliminary technical experience of single incision plus one port laparoscopic total gastrectomy combined with π-shaped esophagojejunal anastomosis (SILT-π) in the surgical treatment of gastric cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical data of 5 gastric cancer patients undergoing SILT-π operation at the Department of General Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital of the Army Medical University from August to October 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. A 2.5-3.0 cm incision around the umbilicus was made for placing the gloveport as the passage for the lens, and the instruments of the surgeon and the assistant. Another operative port was placed in the left upper quadrant with a 12-mm Trocar for the passage of the energy device, the endoscopic cutting closure, as well as the postoperative drainage tube. A D2 lymph node (LNs) dissection was regularly conducted. After the abdominal esophagus was routinely mobilized, a side-to-side esophagus-jejunum anastomosis was made through a gastric pre-pulling esophagojejunal π-shaped anastomosis. The transection was then performed with a ligation on the cardia (or esophagus above the upper margin of the tumor) using a sterilized hemp rope in order to better expose the abdominal esophagus. Throughout the course of reconstruction, the ligature rope was held by the assistant to hold down the esophagus to allow easier esophagojejunal anastomosis. A hole was then made on the posterior wall of the esophagus, between 2 cm and 3 cm above the ligature rope, and another hole was made at the anti-mesenteric border of the jejunum 40 cm distal to the Treitz ligament. A side-to-side esophagojejunal π-shaped anastomosis was performed through two holes. An entry hole was formed after the anastomosis. After checking the anastomosis, this entry hole was closed through an intestinal mesenteric hole pre-made on its opposite side. The resected esophagus and stomach, together with the afferent loop jejunum, were simultaneously transected above the level of the entry hole by a stapler from the Trocar of the left upper abdominal quadrant. After the gloveport was closed, a side-to-side jejunojejunostomy anastomosis applied with another two staples was performed between the afferent loop stump and the roux limb 30 cm below the esophagojejunal anastomosis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>These five patients were all male, and aged (56.8±8.2) years with preoperative clinical stage cT2-4N0-2M0. All the 5 patients underwent SILT-π operation successfully. The average length of surgical incision was (2.9±0.2) cm. The average operation time was (396.0±36.1) minutes. The intraoperative blood loss was (140.0±66.7) ml. Postoperative pathology showed proximal and distal margins were (2.6±1.1) cm and (8.7±2.5) cm apart respectively, and the average number of retrieved lymph node was 25.8±7.2. Perioperative management was based on enhanced recovery following surgical (ERAS) principles. The average time to the first flatus was (2.6±0.5) days, and the average time to defecation was (3.6±0.5) days. The pain score on postoperative day 1 was 1-2, and the average postoperative hospital stay was (7.0±0.7) days. No perioperative complications occurred.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>SILT-π procedure is safe and feasible for patients with gastric cancer, and has positive short-term outcomes, satisfactory cosmetic abdominal incision, light postoperative abdominal pain and rapid postoperative recovery. Preliminary observations show that SILT-π procedure has good potential for clinical application in future.</p>

Objective To investigate the effect of S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO)on acute ischemia reperfusion (I/R)induced in-testinal barrier function lesion in a mouse model.Methods Twenty-four 6-8-year-old C57BL/6 mice were divided into 3 groups,8 for each:(1)the sham group;(2)the I/R group;(3)the I/R+GSNO group.The mouse intestine I/R model was established by the occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery temporarily followed by reperfusion for 6 h.Histological changes in the small intestine were observed after HE staining;the expression of claudin-1 protein in the intestine epithelium was assessed by immunohistochem-istry staining as well as western blot analysis.Results Both HE staining and immunohistochemistry results showed the integrate intestinal villi with the continuous Claudin-1 expression alone the villi in the sham group;the intestinal villi of the I/R group partial-ly detached,thickened,crooked and fractured,with the obvious disconnection of Claudin-1 staining alone the top of the villi;while the intestinal villi of the I/R+GSNO group were neatly arranged and damage to intestinal mucosa was much alleviated,accompanied with the marked restoration of the continuity of claudin-1 staining.Compared to the sham group,claudin-1 protein level of for the I/R group and the I/R+GSNO group decreased by 32.5% and 13.8% respectively (P <0.05);and compared to the I/R group,clau-din-1 protein level of the I/R+GSNO group increased by 27.8% (P <0.05).Conclusion Protein level of claudin-1 would decrea-ses after I/R,and pretreatment with GSNO can effectively relieve the damage of intestinal mucosal structure as well as intestinal tight junction barrier through upregulating the expression of claudin-1 protein.
ABSTRACT
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-based vectors that can stably express therapeutic genes in vivo without detectable side-effect have shown great promise for human gene therapy. A major challenge for translation of promising research to clinical development is how to establish clinically compatible purification methods in separating rAAV from potentially pathogenic impurities, especially rAAV vector-related impurities, a class of impurities corresponding to AAV particles that closely resemble bona fide vectors and are difficult to remove. In this review we summarize the assembly process of rAAV vector-related impurities and their characteristics differed with rAAV vectors, and evaluate several current technologies to prevent their formation or separate them from rAAV stocks.

ABSTRACT
The incidence of pancreatic cancer is gradually increasing worldwide. The overall 5-year survival rate of pancreatic cancer is about 5%, because the early diagnosis is difficult and the radical resection rate is low in pancreatic cancer. The keys of improving the poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer are early diagnosis and radical resection. Detection of serum tumor markers has an important utility in the diagnosis, prognosis and surveillance of pancreatic cancer. CA19-9 is the most widely used and best validated serum tumor marker for pancreatic cancer although it has some limits. With the development of molecular biological techniques in recent years, several potential serum tumor markers for pancreatic cancer are undergoing evaltation, including MIC- 1, M2- PK, OPN, RCAS1, and so on. This paper is to review the current status of serum tumor markers of pancreatic cancer.
ABSTRACT
Gene medicine based on recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector has rapidly become the prior-choose reagent for gene therapy, since it had been shown that the rAAV was able to stably express many genes in vivo without detectable side-effect. However, recent findings of CTL immune responses to AAV capsid in a clinical trial highlighted a new issue regarding safety that previously was not identified in animal studies. Obviously it is so important to understand the interaction of rAAV with the immune system in details for the safety and success of rAAV gene medicine. In this review we evaluate several current hypotheses aiming to explain the cellular immunotoxicity, also analysis the current findings including the presentation kinetics of the capsid antigen and the activation of CTL. Focusing on the key steps of the immune response several solutions are proposed, including immunosuppression, optimization of vector and improvement of purity, in order to insure clinical safety and efficacy of rAAV.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: As the first long-acting atypical antipsychotics, the therapeutic effect and safety of risperidone microsphere have been proved. However, it may lead to serious pain due to the deep intramuscular injection.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pain levels by 12-week injection of rispeddone microsphere and to explore the relationship among dose and times of injection of risperidone microsphere and pain levels.METHODS: A total of 57 patients diagnosed as schizoprenia by DSM-Ⅳ, aged 18-65 years, were selected and injected risperidone microsphere once every 2 weeks with doses of 25, 37.5 and 50 mg. The pain levels were evaluated using 100 mm visual analogue scale during injection and at the injected sites. The effects of injected dose, injected frequency and injected sites on the pain were analyzed by the nurse questionnaire.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The pain levels among the different doses groups had no notable differences (F=1.35,P> 0.05), which demonstrated that the pain had no relationship with injected dose. However, the pain level of injected sites had correlation to injected doses. The pain level of the 50 mg group was greater than that of the 37.5 and 25 mg groups. Accordingly,patients who treated by high dose of risperidone microsphere should be intervened by nurses.
ABSTRACT
Recombinant adeno-associated virus has been proven to be a promising gene delivery vector for human gene therapy with many advantages. Successful applications of recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors in preclinical and clinical human gene therapies make it become a demanded product. A well-established and large-scale production system is therefore required. Since wild type of adeno-associated virus was well characterized in 1989, progress has been made. Particularly, package system of recombinant adeno-associated virus has been developed to use insect cell instead of human cell. These advances in adeno-associated virus production will allow it to meet the demands of basic research and clinical applications. This review will focus on trends in packaging systems and development on a large scale of recombinant adeno-associated virus production.

Numerous studies and clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of recombinant adeno-associated virus gene delivery vectors. However, prior to expression, it is necessary to convert the single-stranded DNA genome into double-stranded DNA, which hinders the efficiency of these vectors. We can entirely circumvent this step through the use of self-complementary recombinant adeno-associated virus vector (scrAAV). ScrAAV packages an inverted repeat genome that can fold into double-stranded DNA without the requirement for DNA synthesis or base-pairing between multiple vector genomes. By using scrAAV, we could increase expression efficiency and reduce immune response caused by vectors themselves. Therefore, it is a promising vector for gene therapy. So far, it has been used in the treatment of hepatic diseases, central nervous system diseases, and eye diseases. It has also been used in the modifications of stem cells and as vectors for siRNA/miRNA and ribozymes. In this review, we focused on the preparation, expression and location of scrAAV both in vitro and in vivo. We mainly introduced the recent progress of scrAAV based therapy of Hemophilia B, in order to elucidate the potential and prospects of scrAAV in gene therapy.
