The preventive effects of warmer intravenous infusion combimed with local liquid dressing for phlebitis in PN patients / 肠外与肠内营养

Objective:To investigate the effect of warmer intravenous infusion combined with local liquid dressing skin daub methods in short-term PN infusion patients with peripheral venous indwelling needle.Methods:Using the single blind random control method,150 PN patients from October 2015 to August 2016 were included.The control group was given the liquid dressing skin daub with 75 cases,and the observation group was given warmer intravenous infusion jointing local liquid dressing skin daub with 75 cases.To observe the incidence of phlebitis and the pain of the infusion catheter site with the infusion limb and the average maintain time of peripheral venous indwelling needle.Results:The incidence of phlebitis was significantly lower in the observation group than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.01) in two groups.The degree of infusion catheter pain with infusion limb pain wasless painful in the observation group than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.005) in two groups.The degree of catheter site pain after pulling out peripheral venous indwelling needle was less painful in the observation group than that in the control group(P ＜ 0.01) in two groups To compare the average maintain time of peripheral venous indwelling needle was (P ＜ 0.001)in two groups.Conclusion:Warmer intravenous infusion combined with liquid dressing skin daub can effectively prevent the occurrence of phlebitis in patients with peripheral venous indwelling needle PN infusion and improve the comfort.

Expression of Notch receptors, ligands and downstream target genes in epidermis of hypertrophic scar / 中华整形外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the expression of Notch receptors, ligands and downstream target genes in hypertrophic scar and normal skin, and to investigate its role in the development of hypertrophic scar.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>By immunohistochemistry, the expression of epidermal differentiation markers- beta1 integrin, keratin 14 (K14) and keratin 19 (K19), as well as Notch 1-4 and Jagged1 were examined in hypertrophic scars and normal skins. The expression of Notch downstream genes- P21 and P63 was analyzed with real-time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry staining.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Histological analysis revealed a significant epidermal thickening in the hypertrophic scars, with excessive cell layers above the basal layer. Compared to the normal epidermis, the expression of beta1 integrin, K19 and K14 decreased in hypertrophic scars (P <0.05). Positive expression rate of Notch1 and Jagged1 in keratinocytes was significantly higher in hypertrophic scar than in normal skin (P < 0.05), while there was no difference in Notch2 and 3 positive expression rate. Furthermore, the expression of P21 was significantly up-regulated, while the expression of P63 was down-regulated in keratinocytes of hypertrophic scar (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Notch signal may play an important role in hypertrophic scar pathogenesis. Over-differentiation of Keratinocytes in hypertrophic scar may be related to the overexpression of Notch1 and Jagged1, up-regulation of P21 gene and down-regulation of P63 gene.</p>

Change of oxygen free radical in reversing multidrug-resistance of human leukemic cell line HL-60/ADM by cyclosporin A / 中国实验血液学杂志

This study was aimed to evaluate the reversed effects of cyclosporin A (CsA) on multidrug resistance (MDR) of human leukemic cell line HL-60/ADM, and to investigate the relationship of the oxygen free radical content between HL-60/ADM cells and the reversed HL-60/ADM cells (HL-60/ADM + CsA). The cytotoxicity and the reversed effects of CsA on multidrug resistance of human leukemic cell line HL-60/ADM were studied by MTT, flow cytometry (FCM) and immunohistochemical assay; the oxygen free radical for HL-60/ADM and HL-60/ADM + CsA cell lines were detected by colorimetric method. The results showed that the CsA less than 4 microg/ml had no significant cytotoxicity on HL-60/ADM, while the cytotoxicity was rised with CsA concentration increasing; And CsA (4 microg/ml) combined with ADM (1 microg/ml) could obviously restrain the growth of HL-60/ADM cells (p < 0.001). The P-gp expression of HL-60/ADM decreased obviously after exposure to CsA (4 microg/ml) for 72 hours, at the same cell conditions, MDA concentration of the reversed groups (HL-60/ADM + CsA cells) was higher than that of the control groups (HL-60/ADM cells) (p < 0.05), while the levels of SOD and GSH in the reversed groups were significantly lower than that in control groups (p < 0.001). It is concluded that MDR of HL-60/ADM can be reversed effectively by low dose of CsA, the level of oxygen free radical increases and the activity of antioxidants decreases in the reversed cells. Oxygen free radicals may be involved in this reverse process, which thereby lead to the cell death.

Research on application of modified polyethylene glycol hydrogels in the construction of tissue engineered heart valve / 中华外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the effect of the polyethylene glycol (PEG)-hydrogels to enhance the seeding-cells adhesion to the biomaterial scaffolds.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixteen porcine aortic valves were decellularized with Triton X-100 and trypsin, then divided into A and B group, eight in each group. Group A: the donor goat's autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) Selected as the seeding-cells were encapsulated into the modified PEG-hydrogels to complete the process of the cells attaching to the acellular porcine aortic valves. Non-PEG but reservation of BMSCs was modified in Group B. After static culture for 7 d, the mono semilunar tissue engineering heart valve (TEHV) were implanted respectively into each donor goat's abdominal aortas. Gross and histology examination, ultrasonic scanning, electron microscopy observation and biomechanics detection were performed at 16 weeks after operation. The 8 native goat aortic valves from the donor goats were selected at the same time as control group (Group C).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were much more improvements compared Group A to Group B (P < 0.05) in tensile strength [(12.9 +/- 1.3) MPa vs. (8.8 +/- 0.4) MPa], ratio of re-endothelial (84.6% vs. 14.8%) and mural thrombosis (0/8 vs. 8/8). The data illustrated the critical importance of BMSCs differentiation to endothelial and myofibroblast for remodeling into native tissue in microenvironment in vivo.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>It is feasible to reconstruct TEHV efficiently by combining modified PEG-hydrogels with acellular biomaterial scaffold and autologous MSCs cells. It can improve the integration of the seeding-cells and scaffold. It can also protect the growth and differentiation of the BMSCs in the systemic circulation effectively.</p>

Effects of mouse NIH3T3 cells transfected with VEGF gene on neovascularization of ischemic flaps / 中华外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the feasibility of applying NIH3T3 cells transfected by VEGF gene to the treatment of ischemic random skin flaps.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Plasmid PcDNA3.1(-)/VEGF(165) containing VEGF gene was transduced into the mouse NIH3T3 cells by liposome. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of VEGF protein of mouse NIH/3T3 cells in vitro. The NIH3T3 cells were stained with CM-DiI before the transplantation. Thirty mice were randomized into 3 groups: Groups A, B and C, and were respectively injected with NIH/3T3 cells transfected with PcDNA3.1(-)/VEGF(165) plasmid, NIH/3T3 cells and medium only. On the 4th day after the injection, random dorsal skin flaps with an area of 4.0 cm x 1.5 cm were established. The survival, neovascularization and blood flow recovery of the flaps were detected.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>VEGF-transduced NIH3T3 cells expressed VEGF highly in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that flap survival rate in group A (95.1% +/- 3.1%) was significantly higher than those in group B (37.4% +/- 6.3%) and group C (26.2% +/- 5.6%). The capillary density and the blood perfusion of the flaps in group A were significantly higher than those in other two groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>VEGF-transfected NIH3T3 cells can improve ischemic flap neovascularization and extend survival areas.</p>
