ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To compare the efficacy, safety and survival of partial nephrectomy (PN) and radical nephrectomy (RN) in the treatment of clinical T1b and T2a renal cell carcinoma (RCC). 【Methods】 A total of 115 patients with stage T1b and T2a RCC treated during Apr.2014 and Jul.2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different surgical methods, the patients were divided into PN group (n=55) and RN group (n=60). The clinical data and prognosis of the two groups were compared. 【Results】 There were no significant differences in the general clinical data and perioperative related factors between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of complications was significantly higher in PN group than in RN group (P=0.024), but there was no significant difference in serious complications (Clavien grade ≥3) (P>0.05). In terms of renal function recovery, there was no significant difference in serum creatinine between the two groups before operation (P>0.05), but the serum creatinine was significantly lower in PN group than in RN group on the 1st day, 3rd, 6th and 12th months after operation (P0.05). 【Conclusion】 Both PN and RN are safe and effective in the treatment of stage T1b and T2a RCC, and can achieve good oncological control effects. Compared with RN, PN can fully and effectively protect the postoperative renal function, but it causes more surgical complications. However, there is no significant difference in severe complications (Clavien grade ≥3).
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic bladder muscle flap ureteroplasty in the treatment of long-segment injury in the middle and lower ureter and to summarize the clinical experience. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 6 patients treated in our hospital during Oct.2018 and Aug.2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Four of them had long-segment ureteral mucosal cuff-like avulsion during ureteroscopic lithotripsy and could not undergo end-to-end ureteral anastomosis or reimplantation, and then laparoscopic bladder muscle flap ureteroplasty plus lumbaris major fixation of the bladder was performed immediately. The other 2 patients had to undergo this procedure due to stricture. 【Results】 All operations were successful. The median ureteral avulsion or ureteral stricture length was 14.5(6, 16) cm, muscle flap length 16.5(8,18) cm, operation time 190 (160, 240) min, blood loss 175 (100, 250) mL, postoperative hospital stay 8 (7, 12) days, and postoperative creatinine (89.38±21.74) μmoI/L. No major complications occurred. One patient developed urinary leakage, which returned to normal after active glycemic control and nutritional therapy; one patient developed postoperative absorption fever, which recovered after physical cooling. During the follow-up of 6 to 45 months, CT showed mild hydronephrosis in some patients, but no ureteral stenosis, impaired renal function or other complications, and patients complained no subjective discomfort. 【Conclusion】 Laparoscopic bladder muscle flap ureteroplasty is safe and effective for patients with long-segment injury in the middle and lower ureter. It has the advantages of small trauma, few long-term complications, and rapid recovery and improvement of renal function. If necessary, it can be combined with lumbaris major fixation of the bladder to shorten the distance from the muscle flap to the broken end of the ureter and to reduce the tension of the anastomosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of demethylating drugs decitabine and azacitidine in treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).Methods:The clinical data of 15 patients initially diagnosed with MDS in Fujian Provincial Hospital from May 2010 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed; 10 patients were treated with decitabine (10-30 mg·m -2·d -1, 3-5 d consecutively) and 5 patients were treated with azacitidine (75 mg·m -2·d -1 for 7 d consecutively). Gene mutation, risk stratification, efficacy and adverse reactions were observed. Results:Among 15 patients, 9 cases were males and 6 cases were females, with a median age of 64 years (51-84 years). The median follow-up time was 18 months (4-62 months). There were 3 cases in high-risk group, 10 cases in medium-risk group and 2 cases in low-risk group. SF3B1, TET2 and STAG2 mutations were more common in patients with low to moderate risk; DNMT3A, EZH2, U2AF1, RUNX1 and TP53 mutations were more common in patients with high-risk. All patients were evaluated for efficacy after 2-3 courses of treatment, and the total effective rate was 66.7% (10/15). Among them, 1 case (6.7%) achieved complete remission, 1 case (6.7%) achieved bone marrow complete remission (mCR), 2 cases (13.3%) achieved partial remission, and 6 cases (40%) achieved hematological improvement. During the treatment, 9 cases had grade 3-4 hematological toxicity and 6 cases had grade 3-4 infection. There was no grade 3-4 bleeding, nausea, vomiting and liver function damage. During the follow-up to May 2020, 9 patients survived and 6 patients died.Conclusions:Demethylating drugs decitabine and azacitidine have high rates of complete remission and partial remission and a low rate of adverse drug reactions in MDS patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and application value of high-frequency ultrasonography in proximal radial nerve injuries associated with humeral shaft fractures.Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed for 19 patients with proximal radial nerve injuries associated with humeral shaft fractures treated in Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from August 2014 to September 2020. The were 17 males and 2 were females，with the age range of 16-55 years ［（38.1±12.7）years］. Of all，11 patients were injured at the left side and 8 at the right side. All the patients had histories of traumatic humeral shaft fracture and were treated in other hospitals，including internal fixation in 17 patients，external fixation in 1 and internal fixation combined with external fixation in 1. All patients underwent radial nerve exploration surgeries，among which 8 had high-level radial nerve release and 11 had high-level radial nerve suture or graft transplantation. All patients underwent high-frequency ultrasound examination before surgery. The ultrasonographic characteristics of the radial nerve were recorded，including the continuity of the epineurium，honey-comb structure on the transversal section，neuromas on the longitudinal section and external scar or callus or metal fixation compressing the nerve. The injury type and neural continuity of each radial nerve were evaluated. The radial nerves of type Ⅰ，type Ⅱ，type Ⅲa ，type Ⅲa ，type Ⅲb and type Ⅳ appeared as normal，swelling，short-segment compressed，neuroma-like and ruptured，respectively. Taking the intraoperative findings as the gold standard，the diagnostic coincidence rate，sensitivity，specificity，positive predictive value and negative predictive of high-frequency ultrasound were analyzed in diagnosis of proximal radial nerve injuries associated with humeral shaft fractures.Results:According to ultrasonographic characteristics，proximal radial nerve injuries were classified into 4 types in 5 subtypes. It was confirmed by surgeries that there were 1 patient with type Ⅱ，4 with type Ⅲa，1 with type Ⅲb and 13 with type Ⅳ，with no type Ⅰ. The diagnostic coincidence rate of high-frequency ultrasound was 89%. The diagnostic coincidence rate of type Ⅱ，type Ⅲa，type Ⅲa，type Ⅲb and type Ⅳ was 100%，100%，100% and 85%，respectively. The sensitivity of high-frequency ultrasound for evaluating the neural continuity was 75%，the specificity was 100%，the positive predictive value was 100%，the negative predictive value was 85%.Conclusions:The high-frequency ultrasound has a relatively high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of proximal radial nerve injuries associated with humeral shaft fractures，which can provide relatively accurate morphological information for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To survey and supervise the risk of infection control and radiation safety in the radiological diagnostic workplace for COVID-19, and provide data support for the safety protection of radiographers and related staff.Methods:4 emergency hospitals for COVID-19 including 2 makeshift hospitals, module hospital and brick pattern hospital in Hubei province were performed for testing and evaluation of imaging performance and radiological protection for the 8 new installed CT scanners and places according to the national standards of WS 519-2019 and GBZ 130-2013. The infection control safety factors such as the layout of the equipment room were monitored and investigated. Two COVID-19 designated hospitals including general hospital and infectious disease specialized hospital were selected to carry out field investigation and sampling of environmental biological samples for 4 CT rooms. Then the samples were detected for the nucleic acid of novel coronavirus. The results of radiodiagnostic workplace overall arrangement, infection prevention and the nucleic acid testing were analyzed, and the biological safety reliability and risk point were evaluated.Results:The indicators of imaging performance and radiation protection for 8 CT scanners in emergency hospitals could meet the requirements of national standards.Each of 2 makeshift hospitals had 3 CT rooms with the area of 38.8 m 2 and 4 mm Pb equivalent thickness of protective shielding. The CT rooms in module hospital and brick pattern hospital were 20.0 m 2, and 35.8 m 2 in areas, with 4 mm Pb equivalent and 3 mm Pb equivalent thickness of protection shielding, respectively. The 8 radiological diagnostic workplaces of the emergency hospitals were designed and constructed based on " three zones with two passage ways" . The result of the nucleic acid test indicated that the positive samples were found at the multiple sites such as scanning bed, internal of gantry and ground touched by patients in CT scanning room. The areas such as console panel and ground were risked of pollution by the virus infected hands and feet of radiographers. In addition, the similar positive samples were found in the areas in scanning room with no touch of patients, such as observation window and air outlet. Conclusions:8 CT scanners and rooms in 4 emergency hospitals basically meet the requirements of imaging performance and radiation protection. The disinfection of COVID-19 radiodiagnostic workplace should be standardized.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the relationship between miRNA-196b-5p and miRNA-99a-5p expression and autophagy and apoptosis in multiple myeloma cells.@*Methods@#Human myeloma cell line U266 and normal CD138+ plasma cells were selected as the research objects. The subjects were divided into 45 cases of multiple myeloma patients and 40 healthy controls. The expression of miRNA-196b-5p and miRNA-99a-5p was measured by real-time quantitative PCR, and Western blot was used to determine the expression of autophagy related protein LC3-Ⅱ, LC3-Ⅰ, P62, Beclin-1 expression, apoptosis related protein CL caspase3, CL caspase7, Bcl-2, Bax, and TGF-β/Smad pathway associated proteins TGF-β1, Smad2/3, p-Smad3 and Smad7. The cell apoptosis rate was determined by flow cytometry. The correlation between miRNA expression level and clinical characteristics of multiple myeloma patients was analyzed.@*Results@#Compared with normal plasma cells, the expression of miRNA-196b-5p in myeloma cells increased significantly (0.43±0.15 vs 2.44±0.63 or 2.02±0.85, all P<0.001), the expression of miRNA-99a-5p was significantly decreased (1.87±0.61 vs 0.62±0.15 or 0.80±0.33, P<0.001), LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ increased significantly (P<0.05), Beclin-1 expression increased significantly (P<0.05), P62 expression decreased significantly (P<0.05). The expression of Bax, CL caspase3 and CL caspase7 decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the expression of Bcl-2 increased significantly (P<0.05) and apoptosis rate significantly decreased (P<0.05). After transfected with miRNA-196b-5p mimic or miRNA-99a-5p inhibitor, the LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ of CD138+ plasma cells increased significantly (P<0.05), the expression of Beclin-1 increased significantly (P<0.05), P62 expression decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the apoptosis rate significantly decreased (P<0.05). However, after autophagy inhibitor of 3-MA was administered, the apoptotic rate of the above reaction system did not change significantly (P>0.05). The expression of miRNA-196b-5p and miRNA-99a-5p was significantly correlated with DS and ISS stage in multiple myeloma patients (P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#miRNA-196b-5p and miRNA-99a-5p are closely related to the clinical characteristics of patients with multiple myeloma. The overexpression of miRNA-196b-5p and down regulation of miRNA-99a-5p could inhibit the apoptosis of myeloma cells by up regulation of autophagy, and the mechanism is related to the activation of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the risk factors of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia ( MPP ) combined with mucous plug in children. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out on the clinical data of one hundred and forty-nine patients with MMP who received fiber bronchoscope from September 2013 to September 2016. Based on the airway mucosal lesions seen through the bronchoscope,patients were divided into two groups:the mucous plug group( 82 cases) and the control group( 67 cases) . The risk factors of mucous plug in MMP children were analyzed through single factor and multifactor analysis. Area under curve ( AUC ) was calculated according to receiver operator characteristic ( ROC ) curve to evaluate the diagnostic value of independent risk factor. Results The result of univariate analysis showed that,in the mucous plug group,the age was (5.88±2.01)ages,pleural effusion cases was 64.63％,febrile course was (10.65±2.87)d,CRP was (50. 99±20. 23) mg/L,serum LDH was (429. 94±160. 28)U/L,significantly higher than those in the control group ( age(5. 12±2. 15)ages,pleural effusion cases was 28. 36％,febrile course was(8. 97±3. 01)d,CRP was (20. 89±9. 98) mg/L and serum LDH was(300. 12±125. 14)U/L),the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05) . Multiple factors analysis showed that age of onset, febrile course, CRP, serum LDH were the independent risk factors, the differences were statistically significant ( 95％CI= 2. 054 ～ 18. 305, 1. 539 ～21. 778,1. 159 ～ 24. 565,1. 883 ～ 9. 469,P<0. 05) . . ROC curve analysis indicated that the AUC of CRP and LDH was 0. 897,0. 829,respectively. Conclusion Old age,long febrile course,and high level of CRP and LDH are the independent risk factors for the mucous plug formation in MPP children. The diagnostic value of CRP is higher than that of LDH. Monitoring these factors can help the doctor determine whether the patient need do bronchoscope without delay and prevent the formation of mucous plug and improve the prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To review our management of chest incision after delayed sternal closure for complex congenital heart defect surgery in neonatal patients and to evaluate the outcomes of the individualized nursing strategies. Methods According to the classification of chest incision, individualized strategies were applied in 112 neonates who underwent subsequent delayed sternal closure.Before the chest closure,Huihanshutai (a kind of biomedical colloid dispersant with content of silver ions)was used to address the incision in case of no wound infection,and in case of infections,URGOSORB was used.After delayed sternal closure,silver ion was used to cover a healthy wound.Wound drainage combined with Huihanshutai was required in the wound with mild inflammation.If there was a severely-infected wound,we kept the principle of wound wet healing. Result There was no death or bacteremia owing to the wound infection in this cohort of patients(n=112). Conclusions Individualized nursing management of the wound after delayed sternal closure based on the classification of wound and principle of wound wet healing can achieve acceptable outcomes.Appropriate adoption of silver ions and URGOSORB is crucial to improve the wound healing and protect the wounds from infection.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels have low immunogenicity and can induce immune tolerance. At present, the mechanism of immune regulation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels is not completely understood. It has been rarely reported whether the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can migrate to the thymus after transplantation. OBJECTIVE:To observe the distribution and survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels in the thymus of aging rats after transplantation. METHODS: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels cultured in vitrowere transfected by adenovirus vectors expressing green fluorescent protein. Transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were injected into the portal vein of aging rats. At days 3, 7, 14, 21 after transplantation, the survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels homing to the thymus was observed under fluorescence microscope. At day 3 after transplantation, thymus tissues were taken and stained with hematoxylin-eosin for pathological observation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Green fluorescent protein-labeled bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels had a strong green fluorescence at days 3 and 7 after transplantation, and the cel contour was clear. There was no significant difference in the mean absorbance values at days 3 and 7 (P> 0.05). Expression of green fluorescent protein was weakened significantly at days 14 and 21 compared with that at day 3 (P < 0.05). At 3 days after transplantation, the transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were clearly visible in the thymus, and acute rejection was not observed. The results show that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can migrate to the damaged thymus tissue through the blood circulation, and can survive at least 1 week.
ABSTRACT
Pulmonary dysfunction caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury is the leading cause of mortality in lung transplantation. We aimed to investigate the effects of sevoflurane pretreatment on lung permeability, tight junction protein occludin and zona occludens 1 (ZO-1) expression, and translocation of protein kinase C (PKC)-alpha after ischemia-reperfusion. A lung ischemia-reperfusion injury model was established in 96 male Wistar rats following the modified Eppinger method. The rats were divided into four groups with 24 rats in each group: a control (group C), an ischemia-reperfusion group (IR group), a sevoflurane control group (sev-C group), and a sevoflurane ischemia-reperfusion group (sev-IR group). There were three time points in each group: ischemic occlusion for 45 min, reperfusion for 60 min and reperfusion for 120 min; and there were six rats per time point. For the 120-min reperfusion group, six extra rats underwent bronchoalveolar lavage. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) were recorded at each time point. The wet/dry weight ratio and lung permeability index (LPI) were measured. Quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot were used to measure pulmonary occludin and ZO-1, and Western blot was used to measure cytosolic and membranous PKC-alpha in the lung. Lung permeability was significantly increased after ischemia-reperfusion. Sevoflurane pretreatment promoted pulmonary expression of occludin and ZO-1 after reperfusion and inhibited the translocation of PKC-alpha. In conclusion, sevoflurane pretreatment alleviated lung permeability by upregulating occludin and ZO-1 after ischemia-reperfusion. Sevoflurane pretreatment inhibited the translocation and activation of PKC-alpha, which also contributed to the lung-protective effect of sevoflurane.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on lung injury induced by D-galactose. METHODS:A total of 30 Sprague-Dawley rats were equal y divided into three groups at random:control group, aging model group and celltreatment group. To establish the aging rats, 10 rats each in the aging model group and celltreatment group were daily subcutaneously injected with D-galactose for 4 months. 3×106 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were transplanted via caudal vein in the celltreatment group, once a week, for 4 weeks. cellmedium of equal dose was added in the control and aging model groups. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were transfected by lentiviral vectors expressing green fluorescent protein to determine the implantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in rat lung. Superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde content in rat lung were measured in each group. The difference in rat lung structure was observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells marked by green fluorescent protein were implanted in rats, migrated towards lung tissue and survived. Compared with aging model group, superoxide dismutase activity was apparently increased, but malondialdehyde content was obviously diminished in the celltreatment group. In each group, histopathological sections revealed that normal pulmonary alveolus was damaged in the aging model group, showing enlarged air cavity and emphysema. Lung injury was evidently repaired inthe celltreatment group. Results suggested that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells could repair lung injury in aging rats, and exert anti-aging effects.
