ObjectiveTo explore the effect of oleanolic acid （OA） on water metabolism in mice with water-dampness retention caused by spleen deficiency and the mechanism. MethodThe 60 SPF Kunming （KM） mice were randomized into blank group （n=10） and modeling group （n=50）. Through long-term living in damp place and irregular diet， water-dampness retention caused by spleen deficiency was induced in modeling mice. Then the model mice were randomly classified into model group， natural recovery group， and low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose OA groups. The mice in the blank group， model group， and natural recovery group were given （ig） 10 mL·kg-1·d-1 normal saline， and mice in the low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose OA groups received 50， 100， 200 mg·kg-1·d-1 OA， respectively. The intervention lasted 7 days. Before and after modeling and administration， the general conditions of the mice were observed and body weight of mice was measured. The water content in feces and tissues was detected with the oven-drying method， and water load index and organ coefficient were measured with the weighing method. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to detect the urinary D-xylose excretion， serum gastrin （GAS）， total protein （TP）， albumin （ALB）， total cholesterol （TC）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， antidiuretic hormone （AVP）， aquaporin 1 （AQP1） in renal medulla， and liver Na+-K+-ATPase. At the same time， OA was docked with ALB， IL-6， AQP1， and Na+-K+-ATPase. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group showed withered hair， emaciation， laziness， bradykinesia， slow weight growth， infrequent spontaneous activities， high water content in feces and tissues， low weight loss after water loading， high coefficient of each organ （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Moreover， the model group had less urinary D-xylose excretion， lower serum levels of GAS， TP， ALB， and HDL-C， higher levels of TC， LDL-C， AVP， and IL-6， lower expression of Na+-K+-ATPase in the liver， and higher expression of AQP1 in renal medulla than the blank group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The three OA groups demonstrated better general conditions， faster weight gain， more frequent spontaneous activities， lower water content in feces and tissues， larger weight loss after water loading， and lower coefficient of each organ than the model group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Moreover， compared with the model group， the three OA groups had high D-xylose excretion， high serum levels of GAS， TP， ALB， and HDL-C， low serum levels of TC， LDL-C， AVP， and IL-6， high expression of Na+-K+-ATPase in liver， and low expression of AQP1 in renal medulla （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The recovery in each OA group was better than that in natural recovery group. Molecular docking results also confirmed that OA had high binding affinity with ALB， IL-6， AQP1， and Na+-K+-ATPase. ConclusionOA can alleviate the abnormal water metabolism in mice with water-dampness retention caused by spleen deficiency， which lays a basis for its potential clinical application.

Anterior and posterior auricular approach for ear cartilage harvesting rhinoplasty: a comparative study / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective:To compare the pros and cons of harvesting ear cartilage through anterior and posterior auricular approaches during rhinoplasty.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, 63 patients with otochondral rhinoplasty in our hospital were enrolled in this study, 60 were female and 3 were male; the average age was 31.6 years (range, 18 to 43) . They were randomly divided into anterior auricular approach group with 32 cases (64 sides) and posterior auricular approach group with 31 cases (62 sides). Surgical duration, complications and postoperative scar of the two methods were analyzed.Results:The average time for harvesting the ear cartilage through posterior auricular approach and anterior auricular approach was (20.8±1.7) min and (12.6±1.1) min, respectively ( P<0.01). The overall complication rate was 15.6% for posterior auricular approach group and 4.8% for anterior auricular approach group. The wound healed well in both groups, and there was no significant difference in postoperative scar between the two groups during an average 13 months follow-up period. Conclusions:While both the anterior and the posterior auricular approaches present with similar inconspicuous scarring, the use of anterior auricular approach alone to harvest ear cartilage during rhinoplasty provides both the surgeons and the patients with easier access, shorter surgical duration, and fewer complications. Hence, we believe that the anterior auricular approach possesses greater advantages than the posterior auricular approach.

OBJECTIVE@#To automatically construct lips symmetry reference plane (SRP) based on posed smile, and to evaluate its advantages over conventional digital aesthetic design.@*METHODS@#Eighteen subjects' three-dimensional facial and dentition data were gathered in this study. The lips SRP of experimental groups were used with the standard weighted Procrustes analysis (WPA) algorithm and iterative closest point (ICP), respectively. A reference plane defined by experts based on regional ICP algorithm, served as the truth plane. The angle error values between the lips SRP of WPA algorithm in the experimental groups and the truth plane were evaluated in this study, and the lips SRP of ICP algorithm of the experimental groups was calculated in the same way. The lips SRP based on posed smile as a reference for aesthetic design and evaluate preliminary clinical application.@*RESULTS@#The average angle error between the lips SRP of WPA algorithm and the truth plane was 1.78°±1.24°, which was smaller than that between the lips SRP of ICP and the truth plane 7.41°±4.31°. There were significant differences in the angle errors among the groups (P < 0.05). In the aesthetic design of anterior teeth, automatically constructing the lips SRP of WPA algorithm based on posed smile and the original symmetry plane by re-ference compared with the prosthetic design, the subjects' scores on the lips SRP of WPA algorithm based on posed smile (8.48±0.57) were higher than those on the original symmetry plane (5.20±1.31).@*CONCLUSION@#Automatically constructing the lips SRP of WPA algorithm based on posed smile was more accurate than ICP algorithm, which was consistent with the truth plane. Moreover, it can provide an important reference for oral aesthetic diagnosis and aesthetic analysis of the restoration effect. In the aesthetic design of anterior teeth, automatically constructing the lips SRP of WPA algorithm based on posed smile can improve the patients' satisfaction in esthetic rehabilitation.

Effect of Insoles on Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective:To observe the effect of braces combined with insoles on scoliosis and walking performance in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods:From September, 2019 to September, 2020, 42 subjects with AIS were selected and randomly divided into brace group (n = 21) and brace combined with insole group (n = 21). Both groups received two-month routine rehabilitation, including braces for 22 to 23 hours a day and gymnastics for 30 minutes a day. The brace combined with insole group additionally wore insoles, at least eight hours a day for two months. Meanwhile, 32 even-aged adolescents were recruited as healthy controls. Firstly, gait and plantar pressure of 42 patients and 32 healthy adolescents were compared to find out abnormal indicators. Secondly, the scoliosis and above abnormal indicators were compared between the brace group and the brace combined with insole group Results:The center of pressure excursion index (CPEI) was higher in AIS group than in the healthy group (F = 3.120, P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in walking speed, gait cycle and phase between two groups (P>0.05). An obvious imbalanced pressure was observed between the medial and lateral heel of the single foot and the bilateral foot in AIS patients (P < 0.05). After treatment, the Cobb's angle decreased in AIS patients (t > 7.552, P < 0.001), however, no difference was found between the brace group and the brace combined with insole group (t = 0.459, P > 0.05); the CPEI decreased (t = 2.209, P < 0.05), and the pressure in medial and lateral heel as well as the left and right foot tended to be balanced (t > 2.306, P < 0.05) in the brace combined with insole group, and were better than that of the brace group (|t| > 2.319, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Plantar pressure distribution shows obvious local and global asymmetric changes in AIS patients. The efficacy of insoles on the scoliosis is limited, but the insole can effectively improve the abnormal biomechanics and balance the force.

Controversy and prospect of transanal total mesorectal excision / 中华胃肠外科杂志

As a novel surgical technique, taTME has developed rapidly in recent years. TaTME inevitably attracts some skepticism on safety, efficacy, and indication. First, the controversies over taTME are mainly reflected on the safety and effectiveness of taTME. On one hand, the increase of surgical complications, such as urethral injury, CO2 embolism, anastomotic leakage and pelvic infection, has raised concerns about the safety of taTME. Second, the poor quality of taTME specimens, the increased local recurrence rate and the impaired anal function after taTME, also make people question the effectiveness of taTME. Third, there are more or less controversies in the selection of taTME cases, surgical procedures and cost-effectiveness. However, it can not be denied that taTME has a promising future in view of both surgical theory and clinical practice. Furthermore, taTME is a relatively safe and effective supplementary surgical procedure, especially for patients with low rectal cancer. We should attach more importance to structured training for beginners and conduct high-quality clinical studies in the future development of taTME in China, so as to ensure the safe implementation of taTME and obtain high-level evidence-based medicine evidence, and then standardize the clinical practice of taTME.

Bilateral papillary renal cell carcinoma following kidney transplantation: A case report / 北京大学学报(医学版)

With the continuous development of kidney transplantation technique, the survival time after kidney transplantation is gradually prolonged. Thus, the malignant tumor has been the important influencing factor on the long-term survival for kidney transplantation patients. Renal cell carcinoma is a relatively common tumor after kidney transplantation. Besides, clear cell renal cell carcinoma and papillary renal cell carcinoma are the relatively common pathological types for renal cell carcinoma following kidney transplantation. However, bilateral renal cell carcinoma following kidney transplantation is comparatively rare. In this article, we presented a case of bilateral papillary renal cell carcinoma, which occurred after kidney transplantation. And the diagnosis and treatment were introduced in detail. The patient was 37 years old, and he underwent kidney transplantation 13 years ago in our hospital, because of kidney failure. After kidney transplantation, he had regular medical check-up every year. In this year, his urological ultrasound results indicated bilateral renal tumors. And then, he received abdominal and pelvic computed tomography, and the result also showed bilateral renal tumors, which were likely to be malignant tumors. After adequate consultation, the patient chose surgical treatment. The patient received long-term immunosuppressive therapy, because of kidney transplantation. Considering this, the surgeon decided to choose a staging surgical treatment, in order to reduce the bad influence of one-stage surgery. Then, the patient first underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for right renal tumor in our hospital, and he had no complications after operation. The pathological results showed papillary renal cell carcinoma. He was discharged successfully. He underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for left renal tumor in our hospital one month later, and he had no complications after operation. The pathological results also showed papillary renal cell carcinoma. He was discharged successfully two days after surgery. In the 3-month follow-up, the patient was recovering well. To sum up, the incidence of bilateral renal cell carcinoma following kidney transplantation is relatively rare, and bilateral radical nephrectomy is effective and safe treatment. Above all, it is the patient's condition that determines the choice of staging surgery or simultaneous surgery.

The Application of Decellularized Adipose Tissue Promotes Wound Healing

BACKGROUND@#Due to adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) being easy to obtain, their rapid proliferation rate, and their multidirectional differentiation capabilities, they have been widely used in the field of regenerative medicine. With the progress of decellularized adipose tissue (DAT) and adipose tissue engineering research, the role of DAT in promoting angiogenesis has gradually been emphasized. @*METHODS@#We examined the biological characteristics and biosafety of DAT and evaluated the stem cell maintenance ability and promotion of growth factor secretion through conducting in vitro and in vivo studies. @*RESULTS@#The tested ASCs showed high rat:es of proliferation and adhered well to DAT. The expression levels of essential genes for cell stem maintenance, including OCT4, SOX2, and Nanog were low at 2–24 h and much higher at 48 and 96 h. The Adipogenic expression level of markers for ASCs proliferation including PPARγ, C/EPBα, and LPL increased from 2 to 96 h. Co-culture of ASCs and DAT increased the secretion of local growth factors, such as VEGF, PDGF-bb, bFGF, HGF, EGF, and FDGF-bb, and secretion gradually increased from 0 to 48 h. A model of full-thickness skin defects on the back of nude mice was established, and the co-culture of ASCs and DAT showed the best in vivo treatment effect. @*CONCLUSION@#The application of DAT promotes wound healing, and DAT combined with ASCs may be a promising material in adipose tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Individualized treatment of intraventricular hemorrhage guided by modified Graeb criteria score and Glasgow coma scale / 中华危重病急救医学

To investigate the clinical effect of modified Graeb criteria score and Glasgow coma score (GCS) in individualized treatment of intraventricular hemorrhage. Methods 113 patients with intraventricular hemorrhage admitted to the department of neurosurgery of Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from June 2014 to February 2018 were enrolled, and they were divided into 13-15, 9-12, and 3-8 groups according to GCS score at admission, and modified Graeb criteria score was classified as grade Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ at the same time. In GCS 9-12 and 3-8 groups, patients with modified Graeb criteria score grade Ⅲ were treated with bilateral extra ventricular drainage, patients with modified Graeb criteria score grade Ⅱ were treated with bilateral extra ventricular drainage or lumbar cistern drainage (GCS 9-12 group was more prior to lumbar cistern drainage, 3-8 group was given priority to extra ventricular drainage), and patients with modified Graeb criteria score grade Ⅰ were treated conservatively. In GCS 13-15 group, bilateral extra ventricular cerebral drainage or lumbar cistern drainage was performed if the modified Graeb criteria score grade was Ⅲ, lumbar cistern drainage or conservative treatment was performed if the modified Graeb criteria score grade was Ⅱ, and conservative treatment was performed if the modified Graeb criteria score grade was Ⅰ. The changes in GCS score at 1 month after individualized treatment and the favourable prognosis rate at 6 months after treatment were observed [favourable prognosis was defined as Glasgow outcome score (GOS) Ⅳ-Ⅴ] as well as the basic clearance time of intraventricular hematomas, and the occurrence of complications such as intracranial infection, pulmonary infection and hydrocephalus were recorded. Results 113 patients with intraventricular hemorrhage were enrolled in the final analysis, including 39 patients in GCS 13-15 group, 27 in 9-12 group, and 47 in 3-8 group;21 patients with the first grade of modified Graeb criteria score, 42 with the second grade and 50 with the third grade. At 1 month after individualized treatment, the GCS scores in GCS 13-15 and 9-12 groups were significantly higher than those at admission (14.8±0.2 vs. 13.7±0.8, 13.1±1.7 vs. 10.7±1.1, both P < 0.05). When comparing the GCS score of the same patient at admission with that of 1 month after treatment, the GCS scores of the three groups were significantly improved, indicating that the consciousness of patients with different coma levels at admission had been significantly improved after individualized treatment. The basic clearance time of intracerebroventricular hematomas in patients with the second grade of modified Graeb criteria score was (7.0±2.8) days, in patients with the third grade was (6.1±2.0) days. At 6 months after individualized treatment, among 113 patients, GOS score was grade Ⅰ in 7 patients (6.2%), grade Ⅱin 13 patients (11.5%), grade Ⅲ in 28 patients (24.8%), grade Ⅳ in 27 patients (23.9%), and grade Ⅴ in 38 patients (33.6%), with the favourable prognosis rate of 57.5% (65/113). Among 113 patients, intracranial infection occurred in 5 patients (4.4%), pulmonary infection in 22 patients (19.5%), hydrocephalus in 2 patients (1.8%) and rebleeding in 4 patients (3.5%). In 83 patients with lumbar cistern drainage, 1 patient had post-drainage infection (1.2%), 3 patients had plugging (3.6%), 6 patients had accidental drop of drainage tube (7.2%), and none of them had occipital macroforamen hernia after drainage. Seven of the 113 patients died including 2 patients died of cerebral hernia caused by rebleeding, 5 patients died of severe pneumonia or automatic discharge from hospital. Conclusion The combination of modified Graeb criteria score and GCS score can individualize treatment for patients with intraventricular hemorrhage and effectively improve the prognosis of patients with intraventricular hemorrhage.

Facial artery, maxillary artery and superficial temporal artery with internal diameters of (2.96±0.88) mm, (1.92±0.33) mm and (1.35±0.15) mm, respectively.@*Conclusions@#The entrance of upper eyelid injection is usually in the eyebrow tail or middle eyebrow, and fat is injected into the deep surface of orbicularis oculi muscle. The injection range is limited to the medial 2/3 of upper eyelid, the medial 1/3 of lower eyebrow and the lateral part of eyebrow. It is suggested that single layer microinjection of fat (0.5 ml to 1.5 ml) could be used. Lower eyelid fat transplantation is mainly used to correct deformities at the eyelid-cheek junction. The aim is to reduce the V-shaped deformity at the eyelid-cheek junction by increasing the fullness. Injection can be made by blunt needle into the inner, outer and middle part of the deformity. Fat can be injected into SOOF layer or periosteum in the palpebral and cheek sulcus area. The injection volume is 0.5-1.0 ml.
