Relationship between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons internal exposure and lung function change among healthy college students / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To investigate the relationship between urinary monohydroxylated metabolites of hydroxyl polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OH-PAHs) and lung function, as well as the role of oxidative stress in these associations, so as to provide a scientific basis for air pollution control and policy formulation.@*Methods@#A panel study was carried out among 45 young healthy adults. Four follow up surveys and health examinations were conducted from November 2017 to October 2018 to measure lung function parameters [forced vital capacity (FVC), second forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow (PEF), FEV1/FVC, and forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% vital capacity (FEF 25%~75% )], markers of exposure to 7OHPAHs [∑ 7OH PAHs], and markers of oxidative stress[8 hydroxy 2 deoxyguanosine (8 OHdG) and 8 isoprostaglandin F 2α (8 iso PGF 2α )]. The relationship between urinary PAH metabolites and lung function was quantified by linear mixed effects models. Mediation analysis was performed to assess the role of oxidative stress in the relationship between OH PAHs and lung function.@*Results@#The median values of FVC, FEV1, FEVI/FVC, PEF, and FEF 25%-75% were 4.37 L, 3.58 L, 83.00%, 4.38 L/s, and 3.32 L/s, respectively. The results showed that each 1 unit increase in log transformed value of 2 Hydroxyfluorene (2 OHFlu) was associated with a 5.05% decrease ( β %=-5.05%，95% CI =-8.85%--1.09%) in FVC, 4.15% decrease ( β %=-4.15%，95% CI =-7.94%- -0.22% ) in FEV1 and 5.87% decrease ( β %=-5.87%，95% CI =-11.35%--0.05%) in FEF 25%-75% , respectively. Each 1 unit increase in log transformed values of 2 OHFlu and 9 Phenanthrol (9 OHPhe) was associated with a 7.03% decrease ( β %=-7.03%，95% CI =-12.60%--1.11%) and a 7.08% decrease ( β%=-7.08%，95% CI =-13.50%--0.17%) in PEF, respectively. Additionally, urinary ∑ 7OH PAHs had a positive correlation with the levels of urinary 8 OHdG and 8 iso PGF 2α ( r =0.64, 0.69, P <0.01). Meanwhile, the levels of 8 OHdG mediated 17.06% and 15.71% of the association between 2 OHFlu with FVC and FEV1.@*Conclusion@#The finding reveales a negative relationship between urinary OH PAHs and lung function among young healthy adults. The 8 OHdG plays a mediated role in the correlation of 2 OHFlu with FVC and FEV1. Active relevant policies are needed to control air pollution and maintain the healthy living conditions of young people.

Retroperitoeal malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors: a clinicopathologic study of 13 cases / 临床与实验病理学杂志

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathology and the expression of H3K27me3 in retroperitoeal malignant pe-ripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST). Methods The clini-copathology and prognosis of 13 cases MPNST were analyzed. Immunohistochemical analysis was used to detect H3K27me3 in MPNST, synovial sarcoma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. Results 13 cases of MPNST were high-grade. The mean diameter of tumors was 20 cm. 2-year survival rate of MPNST was about 60% . 5-year survival rate of MPNST was a-bout 30% . Compared to NF-1 associated and sporadic MPNST (P＜0. 05), the RT-induced MPNST had a poor prognosis. Re-currence and distant metastasis patient had a poor prognosis( P＜0. 05). Age had no significant effect on patient survival. In addition, immunohistochemical staining showed that the expres-sion of H3k27me3 was absent in 11 of 13 cases of MPNST. And compared with the expression of H3K27me3 in synovial sarco-ma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma, it had statistical significance of that expression in MPNST (P＜0. 05). Conclusion Retroperitoeal MPNST is common at high-grade. Tumor volume is relatively large and prognosis is poor. RT-in-duced, recurrence and distant metastasis play an important role in survival rate of MPNST. H3K27me3 which is more common absence in high-grade could be an effective marker of MPNST.

Objective@#To investigate the clinical efficacy and outcome determinants in cardiac arrest patients secondary to acute myocardial infarction treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).@*Methods@#The clinical data of 27 patients hospitalized from January 2014 to March 2017 in 3 hospitals were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical data of the surviving group (12 cases) and the death group (15 cases) were compared and the outcome determinants were explored.@*Results@#Twenty seven patients were successfully treated with coronary angiography and emergency PCI under ECMO assistance, and the successful procedure rate was 100%. The survival rate was 44.4% (12/27). There was no significant difference in gender, age, body weight, myocardial infarct location, past disease history and smoking status between the two groups (all P>0.05). Traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation time was significantly longer, the CCU hospitalization time was significantly shorter, the number of diseased vessels was significantly higher, and the prevalence of distribution of blood vessels in left main stem was significantly higher and mean artery pressure at 24 and 48 hours post ECMO was significantly lower in the death group than in survival group (all P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that left anterior descending artery lesion, higher number of lesion vessels, longer traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation time, longer time interval between cardiac arrest and ECMO placement were related increased risk of death post ECMO and emergency PCI in this patient cohort(OR=1.316, 95%CI 1.217-5.792, P=0.002; OR=1.238, 95%CI 1.107-4.961, P=0.000; OR=1.712, 95%CI 1.136-3.973, P=0.001; OR=1.629, 95%CI 1.132-4.521, P=0.000, respectively), while higher mean artery pressure at 48 hours post ECMO was related with reduced risk of death post ECMO and emergency PCI in this patient cohort(OR=0.672, 95%CI 0.326-0.693, P=0.001).@*Conclusions@#ECMO combined with emergency PCI can improve the success rate of traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with cardiac arrest secondary to acute myocardial infarction. Left anterior descending artery lesion, number of lesion vessels, traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation time, time interval between cardiac arrest and ECMO placement and mean artery pressure at 48 hours post ECMO are outcome determinants post ECMO and emergency PCI in this patient cohort.

Surgical removal of left congenital limbo corneal mass by peripheral lamellar keratoplasty [LKP] using preserved remaining corneasclera graft from other recipient was effective for the treatment of limbocorneal fibroma. A case of 17 year old Chinese girl with a corneal mass since her birth on 4:00 'O clock position showed a size of about 2-3 mm. The patient was treated with total resection of the mass with part of Corneascleral Limbus and partial cornea with adjacent tissue and was diagnosed as fibroma after histopathology examination. After follow-up for 6 month, the vision and eye ball movements were normal and the graft was in normal position

Effect comparison of two kinds of therapeutic methods of olecranon fracture / 中国骨伤

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the effects of olecranon plate and tension band in the treatment of olecranon fracture.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixty-three patients with olecranon fracture were treated with olecranon plate and tension band. Thirty-five patients (21 male and 14 female, aged from 15 to 62 years, with an average of 48.9 years) were involved in tension band group and 28 patients (20 male and 8 female, aged from 25 to 67 years, with an average of 50.6 years)were involved in plate group. According to the Delee, JC classification in 1984, there were type 1A in 5 cases, type 1B in 8 cases, type 2 in 17 cases, type 3 in 7 cases and type 4 in 1 case in tension band group; there were type 1A in 3 cases, type 1B in 5 cases, type 2 in 6 cases, type 3 in 11 cases and type 4 in 3 cases in plate group.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Sixty-three cases were all followed up from 6 to 15 months. According to the criterion of PANG Gui-gen, the results were excellent in 20 cases, good in 7 cases, fair in 1 case and no bad in plate group; the results were excellent in 23 cases, good in 10 cases, fair in 21 case and no bad in tension band group. The therapeutic effect of two groups has no significantly statistic difference.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Both olecranon plate and tension band are the effective treatments for olecranon fracture. The selection of two methods should depend on to the state of fracture.</p>

Study of the influence of emotion stress on mechanical hyperalgesia of masseter muscles in rats / 华西口腔医学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the influence of emotion stress on mechanical hyperalgesia of masseter muscles in rats through the equipment of communication box.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>50 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: Control group, emotion stress (ES) group, drug control group, saline treated control group and footshock (FS) group, 10 rats each group. Footshock group only induced emotion stress and was not concerned with the result of the experiment. The last four groups of the rats were placed in communication box and bred under the same conditions during the experiment time. According to Rens' method, von Frey filaments were used to assess the muscle mechanical threshold, head withdrawal, leg raising and crying were observed as pain action.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>1) During the adaptive period of 7 days before the emotion stress experiment, mechanical pain values of bilateral masseter muscles were descent and were stabilized in the 5 th to 7 th day. In emotion stress period, hyperalgesia of emotion stress group was induced in bilateral masseter muscles, and the peak time was the 7 th day, then it alleviated in the following days and was stabilized in the 12 th to 14 th day, but its pain threshold was lower than blank control group. 2)During the emotion stress period, the change of drug control group was similar to stress group but its pain threshold was higher.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>It is suggested that emotion stress can lead to the hyperalgesia of masseter muscles and antidepressant drug can lower the hyperalgsia resulted of emotion stress.</p>
