RESUMO
@#Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of uniportal and three-port subxiphoid video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (XVATS) extended thymectomy. Methods The clinical data of 60 consecutive patients of XVATS thymectomy in Xuzhou Central Hospital from January 2017 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 29 males and 31 females, with an average age of 53.1 (27.0-76.0) years. The patients were divided into an uniportal XVATS group (30 patients) and a three-port XVATS group (30 patients). The clinical effectiveness was compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in age, sex, body mass index, tumor size, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative time of thoracic tube indwelling and thoracic drainage, or postoperative hospitalization time between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no perioperative mortality, conversion to thoracotomy, thrombosis or mediastinal infection. The operation time of the uniportal XVATS group was significantly longer than that of the three-port group (87.5±19.0 min vs. 75.8±15.7 min, P=0.012). Besides, patients in the uniportal group had significantly lower pain score during 3-14 postoperative days than that of the three-port group (P=0.001). Conclusion Uniportal XVATS extended thymectomy is feasible with less pain as compared with the patients using three-port XVATS, but it needs longer operation time at initial stage.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Toxic cytarabine is often used to prepare highly purified neurons in experimental studies addressing central nervous system diseases. However, the intervention time of cytarabine is little reported. OBJECTIVE:To determine the optimal intervention time of cytarabine(final concentration 10μmol/L) in primary culture of rat cortical neurons. METHODS:Rat primary cortical neurons were cultured in Neurobasal+B27 medium, and 10μmol/L cytarabine were added at 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours after culture, respectively. Half of the medium were changed every 48 hours. The morphology of neurons was observed under inverted microscope at 7 days. The purity and differentiation of neurons maturity were identified by immunocytochemistry method of neuron specific enolization enzyme staining. Morphometric analysis for all neuron-specific enolase positive cells was performed by Multifunction Computer Image Analysis System. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After addition of cytarabine at 24 hours of culture, the purity of neurons was more than 90%, well-differentiated cortical neurons accounted for 89.00%, and the area of neuronal body was the largest with the longest synapses. There were more neuron cells with transparent cytoplasm, and large nucleus. The cell body had good refraction and strong stereo sense. The neurons with 3-4 synapses and 3-4 bifurcates formed a good network structure. These results illustrate that although it willbe beneficial for the purity of neurons to add cytarabine early in neuron culture process, it will make obvious effect on neuronal differentiation. The highly purified and well-grown cerebral cortical neurons will be obtained after cultured in neurolbasal medium, which cytarabine is added to at 24 hours of culture.

RESUMO
Objective To compare the biocompatible and osteconduetian behavior of the high-density porous polyethylene and hydroxyapatite/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Methods Osteoectomy of the upper orbital rim was performed on 60 adult Japan rabbits. The animals were randomly divided into 3 groups with 20 of each. The hydroxyapatite/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, high-density porous polyethylene was implanted to the upper orbital defect of the animals in respective group. Animals were sacrificed at the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 8th weeks. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Osteocalcin (OC)in the HDPE and hydroxyapatite/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene was also detected. Result During the experimental period of 8 weeks, there was no implants extrusion or displacement. Fibrous tissue and new vessels grew into HDPE were obviously elder than those grew into hydroxyapatite/ultra high molecular weight polyethy-lene. Alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin contents has great difference, HDPE group is the best, followed by HA combination artificial group (P<0.05). Conclusions High-density porous polyethylene and hydroxyapatite/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene are both good orbital reconstruction materials, they all have good biocompatiblity and osteoconductian, but high-density porous polyethylene is better than hydroxyapatite/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene in osteoconductian.
RESUMO
The investigations on the interactive relationships of DNA replication, damage repair and recombination have been locating in the frontline and becoming one of the hotspots in today's life science research. More and more studies show that the processes of DNA replication, damage repair and recombination are both independent and interdependent in the molecular level. These pathways coordinate and conform each other through interactions of many critical proteins in the pathways, by which DNA molecules, known as genetical materials, can be well maintained in cell and faithfully transferred through cellular generations. By using E. coli as a model system, the recent progresses and the possible rules underlying E. coli DNA replication, repair and recombination have been analyzed. As it is believed that the researches on E. coli DNA replication, repair and recombination may be capable of providing clues to the eukaryotic research based on the universal conservations of the critical proteins in the pathways.
