ABSTRACT

Postoperative adhesion (PA) is currently one of the most unpleasant complications following surgical procedures. Researchers have developed several new strategies to alleviate the formation of PA to a great extent, but so far, no single measure or treatment can meet the expectations and requirements of clinical patients needing complete PA prevention. Chinese medicine (CM) has been widely used for thousands of years based on its remarkable efficacy and indispensable advantages CM treatments are gradually being accepted by modern medicine. Therefore, this review summarizes the formating process of PA and the efficacy and action mechanism of CM treatments, including their pharmacological effects, therapeutic mechanisms and advantages in PA prevention. We aim to improve the understanding of clinicians and researchers on CM prevention in the development of PA and promote the in-depth development and industrialization process of related drugs.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical manifestations and diagnostic points of patients with peritoneal mesothelioma caused by occupational asbestos. METHODS: The clinical data of a female patient with peritoneal mesothelioma caused by occupational asbestos and the diagnosis of occupational diseases were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: In 2016, the patient was diagnosed and treated in a number of hospitals in a province due to chest and back pain, persistent cough, suffocation, and foamy sputum. After laparoscopic surgery, the peritoneal biopsy was taken for pathological analysis and diagnosed as peritoneal mesothelioma. In December 2016, she died due to a worsening of her condition and lung infection. The patient′s family requested occupational disease diagnosis in May 2017. After investigation and verification by the local occupational disease diagnosis agency and the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, it was clear that the patient had a history of occupational exposure to asbestos for a total of 23 years and two months. In July 2018, she was retrospectively diagnosed as an occupational tumor(mesothelioma caused by asbestos). CONCLUSION: A clear history of occupational exposure to asbestos and histopathological examination are helpful for the diagnosis of occupational tumors(mesothelioma caused by asbestos).

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To evaluate snack consumption and the influencing factors associated with student participation in the Nutrition Improvement Program, and to provide a scientific basis for improving the program.@*Methods@#Among the 50 monitoring counties that implemented the Compulsory Education Student Nutrition Improvement Program, two primary schools and two junior schools were randomly selected according to different food supply patterns (i.e., school, company, and mix). This study randomly selected one or two classes from each grade, which ranged from grade 3 to grade 9. A questionnaire, which addressed snack consumption and choice, was distributed to 27 374 students.@*Results@#The findings revealed that 14.0% of students from poor rural areas in central and western regions consumed snacks two or more times per day, and 21.6% of students spent 3 yuan or more on snacks each day. The top three choices of snacks included fruit and vegetables (50.6%), biscuits and bread (50.1%), and puffed food (40.0%). Students who had mothers who worked outside the home, parents who worked outside the home, who consumed corporate meals, and who had access to a small shop on campus were more likely to consume snacks one or more times per day(OR=1.35,1.19,1.11,1.51,P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The phenomenon of snack consumption among primary and middle school students from poor rural areas in central and western regions is common, and the selection of unhealthy snacks was identified as a problem. A health education system with comprehensive support and guidance from individuals, families, schools, and society should be established to guide students to opt for healthier snacks.

ABSTRACT

Cardiovascular diseases are the most important diseases that endanger national health, and its development process is complex and diverse. Various cardiovascular diseases caused by obesity, such as hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and atherosclerosis, are interrelated and interacted each other. Diet, as the main means of prevention and treatment, plays an important role in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular disease. Mori Fructus is one of the first ingredients that are listed in medicinal and edible food. With a wide range of applications in daily life, it contains polysaccharides(polysaccharide, APS), anthocyanins(anthocyanin, LCRA), flavonoids and other bioactive ingredients. With a wide range of antioxidant, anti-aging, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities, these materials exert effects in alleviating diabetes, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and other cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, we retrieved such databases as PubMed, Web of science, CNKI, VTTMS, Wan Fang, and collected literatures about the effect of single administration of mulberry on cardiovascular diseases in the past 15 years, with "mulberry and cardiovascular disease" as the key word, and summarized the latest progress. The results of many experimental studies have showed that different forms of mulberry can significantly alleviate obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia and hypertension, suggesting that the scope of action of Mori Fructus covers different pathological stages of cardiovascular diseases. This paper systematically analyzes and summarizes the application forms, efficacy and the existing problems of these experiments, and provides study thinking and development direction for the utilization and new product design of Mori Fructus-related products in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

ABSTRACT

Background: To investigate the feasibility and safety of computed tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (CT-MRI) fusion-guided iodine-125 seed implantation for a single malignant brain tumor. Methods: From November 2015 to October 2016, 12 patients with a single malignant brain tumor were treated with permanent iodine-125 seeds implantation. CT-MRI fusion images were used to make the preoperative treatment plan, intraoperative dose optimization, postoperative verification, and tumor response follow-up. The dosimetry parameters of CT-MRI image fusion plans were compared between preprocedures and postprocedures, including plan target volume, V100 (the percentage of the target volume covered by the prescription dose [PD]), D90 (the dose that covers 90% of the target volume), and V200 (the percentage volume of the brain tumor receiving 200% of the PD). Adverse events were graded by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Clinical and radiological follow-ups were performed at a 3-month interval. Results: All the interstitial implantations were completed successfully under the guidance of CT-MRI image fusion. The dosimetry parameters of CT-MRI image fusion postplans did not differ significantly from those of preplans (P > 0.05). No higher than Grade 2 adverse events were observed during the follow-up. Tumor control was achieved in 10 of 12 patients (83.33%). The median overall survival time was 15.05 ± 3.35 months (95% confidence interval 12.99–17.26). Conclusions: CT-MRI image fusion is feasible for the design, optimization, and verification of treatment planning. CT-MRI fusion-based brachytherapy may improve dosimetry of brain tumor while sparing the normal structures, potentially impacting disease control, treatment-related toxicity, and long-term survival

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the correlation between musculoskeletal ultrasound features, dysfunction and X-ray findings in patients with knee osteoarthritis, and to analyze the pathological mechanism of soft tissue inflammation in knee osteoarthritis.@*METHODS@#Cross-sectional method was performed in this research (Evidence level: III). The patients with knee osteoarthritis were collected according to the screening criteria from September 2016 to January 2017 in Orthopedic clinic in our hospital. Musculoskeletal ultrasound and X-ray images were obtained and measured, knee function was measured by Lysholm scale. Pearson coefficient, t test and Wilcoxon were applied to analyze the correlation between soft tissue inflammation, knee dysfunction and X-ray features.@*RESULTS@#Total 123 patients with knee osteoarthritis were recruited in this research. Soft tissue inflammation around knee had a high incidence in patients with knee osteoarthritis (infrapatellar fat pad inflammation 81%), and the synovial membrane thickness, joint effusion depth and meniscus bulging were beyond the normal range. Correlation analysis showed that the about Lysholm score and joint effusion depth had negative correlations with "Squat" score(=-0.21, =0.02). and Medial meniscus bulging had negative correlations with "Sustain" score(=-0.26, <0.01) and Lysholm total score (=-0.19, =0.04). Lateral meniscus bulging had a negative correlation with "Unstable" score (=-0.22, =0.02). The X-ray features, and medial joint space narrow had negative correlations with joint effusion depth(=-0.27, <0.01) and synovial membrane thickness(=-0.17, =0.007), and had a positive correlation with medial meniscus bulging. Medial joint space narrow was significantly correlated with patellar ligament inflammation and fat pad inflammation(<0.05). Lateral joint space narrow was significantly correlated with patellar ligament inflammation(=0.02).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Soft tissue inflammation around the knee-a major pathological manifestation of knee osteoarthritis, has significant correlations with knee dysfunction and bony structure lesions, and affects the progression of knee osteoarthritis by damaging knee joint function and promoting the destruction of articular cartilage.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the relationship between living habit and cervical instability in adolescent patients with neck pain.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifty-nine adolescent patients with neck pain(neck pain group) and seventeen healthy teenagers (control group) were recruited and divided into two groups, and clinical information, living habit were collected. In addition, all people were taken lateral, hyperextension and hyperflexion radiography to analyze relationship between living habit and cervical instability.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was no obvious difference in age, height, weight and body mass index between two groups. The neck pain group using cellphone time per day is longer than control group, while control group had more exercise time than neck pain group(<0.01). The incidence of instability in neck pain group was significantly higher than that in control group(<0.01). In hyperflexion, angular displacement(AD) of neck pain group in vertebral body between C₃-C₄, C₄-C₅ and C₅-C₆ was significantly higher than that of control group. In neck pain group, AD of hyperflexion was higher than that of hyperextension on C₄-C₅(<0.01), and AD of hyperextension is higher than that of hyperflexion on C₆-C₇(<0.05). In neck pain group, AD of hyperextension on C₄-C₅ was positively correlated with time of using cellphone every day(=0.275, =0.035). And AD of hyperflexion was significantly positive correlated with time of using cellphone(=0.577, <0.001), but was negatively correlated with exercise time(=-0.279, =0.032). The AD of hyperflexion on C₅-C₆ was negatively correlated with exercise time every day(=-0.292, =0.025), AD of hyperextension was negatively correlated with time of using computer every day(=-0.262, =0.045).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Adolescent neck pain patients had more time to use cellphone than normal teens every day, and exercise time is less than healthy teenagers, and occurrence rate of cervical instability is higher on C₃-C₄, C₄-C₅, C₅-C₆ segment. The longer daily exercise time, the smaller C₄-C₅ and C₅-C₆ AD values; the longer cellphone usage every day, the greater C4-C5 AD values.</p>

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress is one of the important mechanisms of postoperative abdominal adhesion. The nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-antioxidant response element (ARE) signal pathway is an important endogenous anti-oxidation stress pathway. Our previous study found that ligustrazine nano-spray can inhibit the formation of postoperative abdominal adhesion in rats, and moreover, ligustrazine has an anti-oxidation effect. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of ligustrazine nano-spray on the expression of mRNAs and proteins related to the Nrf2-ARE signal pathway in rats with abdominal adhesion, and to investigate the mechanism by which ligustrazine nano-spray inhibits abdominal adhesion via regulating the Nrf2-ARE signal pathway. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group, ligustrazine group and sodium hyaluronate group. In the sham group, only laparotomy was performed without modeling. In the model group, an abdominal adhesion model was created but no drug was used. In the ligustrazine group, ligustrazine nano-spray was used on the wound before incision suturing. In the sodium hyaluronate group, sodium hyaluronate was applied on the wound before incision suturing. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model group, ligustrazine nano-spray reduced the levels of reactive oxygen species, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1, but increased the level of matrix metalloproteinase 9 in the rat serum. The expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 mRNA and proteins was also up-regulated in the ligustrazine group relative to the model group. Therefore, ligustrazine nano-sprays can inhibit abdominal adhesions in rats, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of Nrf2 and heme oxygenase 1 mRNA and proteins expression and the activation of Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT

With the continuous development of traditional Chinese medicine business, the types and amounts of Chinese materia medica resources are increasingly reduced. By reviewing the origins, trading sources, and existing quality standards of the available common Chinese madicinal materials in shortage, it was found that the large amount of imported medicinal materials in domestic market or clinical application were not due to the traditional paths such as envoys presenting tribute, business trade, war conflict, national migration, and tourist travel, but due to the shortage of resources in domestic origins. Meanwhile, the former quality control standard on traditional imported medicinal materials was out of date, and the new imported medicinal materials quality control standard was in absence, resulting in unclear origins, unknown origins and processing methods, as well as more and more prominent problems on mixed use of the different varieties with same name and the same varieties from different origins. On the one hand, this situation once again sounded the alarm for the development of Chinese medicine industry from the resource perspective. On the other hand, the confusion of new varieties in Chinese herbal medicine market has also brought a serious threat to the efficacy of Chinese medicine. It is pointed out that it is an effective way to ensure the drug safety of imported medicinal materials through strengthening quality supervision of shortage of traditional Chinese medicines based on the new pharmacopoeia standards.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish a method for isolation, cryopreservation and recovery of the highly viable human peripheral blood monomuclear cells (PBMNCs) so as to achieve the long-term preservation of PBMNCs.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 80-100 ml peripheral blood were collected from the healthy volumteers aged over 50 years old. The PBMNCs were isolated by the Ficoll density gradient technique and cryopreserved gradually by program control method in liquid nitrogen freezer of -196 °C. The serum-free medium and autoloqous plasma medium were test for preservation of PBMNCs. The cell viability was assessed at time point of 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 months after thawing. Finally, the proliferation ability, purity and cytotoxicity were compared between the autologous immune lymphocytes (AIL) induced from cryopreserved PBMNCs and AIL as control from fresh PBMNCs.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After separating, the cell viability was 99.6%±0.4%, and the recovery rate of lymphocytes was 58.4%±6.52%. The cell recovery rate of lymphocyte was 89.7%±3.82% at 24 months. The quality assurance program was reliable within 2 years of running. The AIL cells induced with cryopreserved PBMNCs were not significantly different from those induced from fresh PBMNCs in terms of proliferative action, purity and cytotoxicity(CD3(+)CD8(+) ≥45%,CD3(+)CD56(+) NKT≥10%,CD4(+)CD25(+) NKT≤10%).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Manual separation of lymphocytes in vitro can get enough high-quality PBMNCs. The long-term cryopreserved PBMNC still maintain their high viability. The reinfusion of the clinical autologous immune cells would be advantageous for early tumor immunotherapy. Human AIL induced from cryopreserved PBMNC maintain their anti-tumor ability. These findings have the important implications for the application of these cells to adoptive cellular therapy.</p>
