ABSTRACT
Clinical data of 67 patients with recurrent inguinal hernia and chronic pain after anterior repair of transversalis fascia who underwent Kugel procedure through the primary incision in Wenling First People′s Hospital between June 2015 and January 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. During the operation the surrounding scar tissue and previous mesh or plug were removed, the transversalis fascia was separated and the patch was placed to overlay myopectineal orifice. The mean operative time was 57 min (51-85 min).The peritoneum rupture occurred during the operation in 6 cases (8.9%), and seroma was developed in 5 patients(7.5%). After a mean 18 months of follow-up, no recurrence occurred in all patients. Three months after operation, the mild, moderate or severe pain in all 67 patients were all improved remarkably with a total pain relief rate of 92.5%. The results show that Kugel procedure through the primary incision is safe and effective in treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia with chronic pain after anterior repair of transversalis fascia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of shRNA targeting a disintegrin and metalloproteinases 17(ADAM17)on the proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells in hypoxia environment.Methods The four specific ADAM17-shRNA se-quences aiming at ADAM17 were designed,transfected into MCF-7 cells by electroporation,and cultured in hypoxia environment. The experiment was divided into the control group (blank phosphate buffer solution,PBS),nonsense sequence group (transfected with ADAM17-shNC)and shRNA transfection group (transfected with ADAM17-shRNA,the highest silencing efficiency of shR-NA was selected for following experiments).Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of ADAM17 mRNA.The prolifera-tion ability and cell cycle change of MCF-7 cells were detected by iCELLigence and flow cytometry (FCM),respectively.Results Compared with control group and nonsense sequence group,the four ADAM17-shRNA transfection groups all had the silence effect on ADAM17 gene expression (P <0.05 ),the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05 ),particularly shRNA1219 had the highest inhibitory rate (F =5.11,P <0.01 ).The cellular proliferation ability and cell growth speed in the shRNA transfection group were significantly decreased compared with the control group and nonsense sequence group (P <0.05).Most cells of shRNA transfection group remained in the G0/G1 phase (73.35 ± 2.45 ),which in the control group and nonsense sequence group was (62.56±2.35)and (62.68 ±1.20)respectively,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).The cell cycle progression was significantly delayed.Conclusion ADAM17-shRNA inhibits the proliferation of MCF-7 cells under hypoxic environment.
