ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the clinical effect of thin replantation combined with vacuum assisted closure (VAC) in the treatment of large area retrograde skin avulsion injury.Methods:A total of 42 patients with large scale retrograde skin avulsion injury admitted to the trauma center of Zhuzhou Central Hospital from April 2017 to April 2019 were enrolled in this study, and were treated with VAC continuous negative pressure drainage after operation. The wound survival rate, wound survival area, wound infection, replantation skin performance and joint mobility were observed.Results:All of the 42 patients were followed up for 8-50(23.56±3.56)months. 35 patients survived the stage 1 skin grafting, the skin flap survived, and the wound had no obvious skin defect. After active dressing change, the wound healed well, and no second operation was needed. Small area necrosis occurred in the first stage wound of 7 patients due to large skin defect, and the wound healed well after the second stage surgical transplantation and enhanced dressing change. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score of 26 patients was 80-95(87.96±3.21), and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score of 22 patients was 80-96(88.79±3.41). All patients had good skin sensation, elasticity, pressure resistance, wear resistance and color, and joint mobility was good without obvious limitation of movement.Conclusions:Thinning replantation combined with VAC negative pressure drainage in the treatment of large area retrograde skin avulsion injury can significantly promote the application of wound surface and skin graft, which is conducive to drain the drainage fluid out of the body, reduce the wound infection rate, improve the survival rate of skin grafting and improve joint function.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate a model for axillary lymph node involvement combining CK19 mRNA with contrast enhanced ultrasound sonography (CEUS) score in operable breast cancer.Methods Operable breast cancer patients planned for sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy were enrolled.Preoperative CK19mRNA expressions in peripheral blood and CEUS score of axillary lymph nodes were tested before surgery.In the training set,postoperative sentinel lymph node (SLN) and non-sentinel lymph node (nSLN) pathological results were taken as the gold standard,effective modeling variables were screened,logistic regression was used to establish the prediction model.Parallel control studies were conducted between the validation set and the MSKCC model to evaluate the prediction accuracy and prediction efficiency.Results From Oct 2015 to Nov 2016,359 cases (training set) were enrolled and mathematical formulas for predicting SLN and nSLN were established,respectively.The sensitivity,specificity and AUC of predicting SLN involvement were 91.36％,94.92％ and 0.979 respectively.The sensitivity,specificity and AUC of predicting nSLN metastasis were 91.04％,90.53％ and 0.932 respectively.From Dec 2016 to Jul 2017,219 cases (verification set) were included.The sensitivity of SLN metastasis predicted by the model was 91.84％,the specificity was 96.69％,and the AUC was 0.979,significantly superior to the MSKCC model (0.739).The sensitivity,specificity and AUC of predicting nSLN metastasis were 95.35％,92.73％ and 0.945 respectively,significantly superior to the MSKCC model (0.873).Concolusions Combined with peripheral blood CK19 mRNA and CEUS score,the prediction model for axillary lymph node involvement for operable breast cancer,SLN/nSLN involvement probability can be calculated and qualitative judgment can be made.The overall accuracy and AUC of this model are better than the prediction model of MSKCC.

ABSTRACT
Objective Baicalin reduces the severity of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in a rat model. This study was carried out to examine the effect of baicalin on TNF-α mRNA, caspase-3 and P-selectin protein expression in the pancreas of rats with SAP. Methods Rats with SAP were randomly assigned to untreated, baicalin-treated, octreotide-treated and sham-operated group. The TNF-α mRNA expression level, caspase-3 and P-selectin protein expression levels of pancreatic tissue were measured 3, 6 and 12 hours after operation. Results The caspase-3 protein expression level was significantly higher in the treated groups than that in the untreated group at 3 hours (p <0.01). P-selectin protein expression level in pancreas of the treated groups was significantly lower than that of the untreated group (p <0.05 or <0.01). TNF-α mRNA expression level in pancreas decreased in baicalintreated group while untreated group increased at different time points (p <0.05). Conclusion Baicalin increases caspase-3 expression and inhibits TNF-α mRNA and P-selectin protein expression in pancreatic tissue of SAP rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the protective effects of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation alone with bone marrow stem cells mobilization on liver cells in rats with severe acute paucreatitis in order to explore their mechanism. Method After the establishment of severe acute pancreatitis in rats made by intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine, 240 SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group (n = 48), model control group (n = 48), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplanted (MSC) group (n = 48), granu-lacyte-colony stimulating factor treated (G-CSF) group (n = 48) and MSC + G-CSF (n = 48). The rats of MSC group were prepared by injection of 1.2 mL MSC into femoral vein 6 hours after SAP. The rats of G-CSF group were prepared by subcutaneous injection of G-CSF 40 μg/kg for 3 days before SAP. The rats of MSC + G-CSF group received MSC and G-CSF together. The rats of sham-operated group were injected with equal volume of nor-real saline. The rats in each group were sabdivided into 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h sub-groups (n = 12) according to the examinations in different intervals after operation. Of different subgroups, the morality rate, pathological changes, expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2 proteins and apoptosis indexes of livers were observed respectively. The contents of serum TNF-α,IL-6,ALT,AST,LDH and CRP were simultaneously determined to compare the difference among subgroups by variance analysis. Results Compared to the respective model group, the mortality rates of all treated 72 h subgroups showed no difference (P > 0.05), and no rats died before 48 h. The pathological injuries of liver cells were rather attenuated in rats of treated group than in rats of control group. The liver cell apoptosis in-dexes of 48 h and 72 h MSC + G-CSF subgroups were 107.1 ± 7.0, 110.3 ± 8.6, respectively; the expression of Bax in livers of 24 h,48 h and 72 h subgroups was 5.60±0.Z5, 5.69±0.22, 5.73±0.27, respectively;Bcl-2 protein of 48 h,72 h subgroups was 4.61±0.28, 4.43±0.28, respectively; compared with MSC and G-CSF subgroups the differences were significant (P < 0.05). The serum TNF-α, IL-6, ALT, AST, LDH and CRP de-creased obviously in 24 h/48 h treated subgroups in comparison with control group (P < 0.05). The MSC + G-CSF group showed more significant effects on those biomarkers than MSC or G-CSF alone after 48 hours (P < 0.05). Conclusions Autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation alonewith bone marrow stem cells mobilization can significantly protect livers from severe damage during the course of severe acute panere-atitis, and the probable mechanisms are likely associated with the pathological regeneration, anti-inflammatory ef-fect and apoptosis inhibition of MSC.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the influence of Baicalin and Octreotide on lung injury of rat with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) and discuss the therapeutic effect and mechanism of the two medicines on SAP.Methods The improved Aho(?)method was adopted to pre- pare SAP rat models via retrograde injection of 3.5% sodium taurocholate to the pancreatic duct.The 135 SAP rat models after being pre- pared were randomly divided into the model group,Baicalin treatment group and Octreotide treatment group with 45 rats in each group;an- other 45 were selected to be the sham operation group which only received abdomen opening surgery.The above - mentioned groups were then randomly divided into 3h,6h and 12h groups with 15 rats in each group.Observed respectively at 3h,6h and 12h after operation,the mortalities of all rat groups followed by batch execution of rats,and then observed the gross pathological and pathological changes of lung. The tissue microarrays technology was applied to prepare the lung tissue microarrays sections.The changes in Bax and bcl-2 protein ex- pression levels of lung tissue of each group were observed via immunohistochemical staining and meanwhile the TUNEL method was applied to observe the lung cell category and apoptotic index changes of lung tissue in each group.Results The 12h survival of model group was 66,67% while those of Baicalin treatment group and Octreotide treatment groups were both 100%,indicating a marked difference(P＜0.05).Comparison of lung pathological score disclosed:The model group and Baicalin treatment group obviously exceeded the sham oper- ation group at various time points(P＜0.01);at 6h and 12h the Baicalin treatment group was obviously less than the model group(P＜0.05)and the Oetreotide treatment group less than the model group(P＜0.01).Comparison of Bax protein of lung in each group dis- closed:The Baicalin treatment group and Octreotide treatment group obviously exceeded the sham operation group and model group at 3h (P＜0.05),meanwhile the Baicalin treatment group obviously exceeded the Octreotide treatment group(P＜0.01).Changes of lung bcl -2 protein expression level of all groups disclosed:The model group and Baicalin treatment group obviously exceeding the sham operation group(P＜0.01)as well as the Octreotide treatment group(P＜0.05)at different time points,the Baicalin treatment group was obviously less than the model group at 6h(P＜0.05).The peak of apoptosis occurred to the Baicalin treatment group at 6h,but statistics showed no obvious difference among all groups at different time points(P＞0.05).Conclusions(1)Both Baicalin and Octreotide have protecting effect on SAP lung injury and their therapeutic mechanism is possibly related to apoptosis.The application of tissue microarrays in SAP pathological examination can save manpower and material resources,cut down the experimental cost and improve the experimental efficien- cy,thus worth popularizing.
