RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Wound complications are common, difficult to manage, and carry a high economic burden. They are challenging to physicians and a burden to society. CASE REPORT: An 86-year-old male with a history of diabetes was diagnosed with spinal suppurative osteomyelitis and underwent spinal debridement and debridement of dead bone, which required an incision of approximately 9 cm in length. Poor wound healing was noted on postoperative day 5, and wound healing had not been achieved by postoperative day 82. The periphery of the wound was stretched using a proprietary elastic therapeutic tape beginning on postoperative day 82, and daily routine disinfection was maintained thereafter. Wound healing was achieved after 2 months of the aforementioned routine. No additional wound changes were noted at the 6-month follow-up after wound healing was confirmed. CONCLUSIONS: Use of elastic therapeutic taping aided in healing a chronic nonhealing wound after spinal surgery in 1 case. The mechanism of action is discussed and analyzed to provide clinical evidence for such treatment.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for treatment of stenosis of autogenous arteriovenous fistulas in maintenance hemdialysis patients. Methods From September 2016 to August 2017, thirty patients with autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) stenosis diagnosed in Guangzhou First People′s Hospital underwent PTA under the guidance of ultrasound for the first time. The vascular diameter of AVF stenosis and the blood flow of AVF before and after operation were evaluated. During the follow-up period,the patency time and complications were recorded. Results In 93. 3%( 28/30) patients, primary ultrasound-guided PTA procedures were successfully performed. The internal diameter of the stenosis increased from (1. 62±0. 30) mm preoperatively to (3. 61±0. 66) mm postoperatively (t＝18. 205,P＜0. 001),and the natural blood flow increased from (270. 0±36. 5) ml/min preoperatively to (611. 4±46. 6) ml/min postoperatively (t＝50. 221,P＜0. 001). The post-intervention primary patency rates at 90 and 180 d were 96. 4%(27/28) and 85. 7%(24/28), respectively. There was no rupture of the vein,or other severe complication during the PTA procedure. One patient had perilesional swelling,and one patient had extravasation after the PTA procedure. Conclusion Ultrasound-guided PTA is a safe and effective method for treatment of stenosis of autogenous arteriovenous fistulas in maintenance hemdialysis patients.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the role of miR-155 in diabetic nephropathy(DN)and its mecha-nism. Methods MiR-155 expression level in kidney was detected by real-time PCR and in situ hybridization. The target gene of miR-155 was predicted by bioinformatics and verified by Western Blot and double luciferase reporter activity. Western Blot was used to detect the related marker proteins of mesangial cells proliferation and mesangial matrix. Results (1)The expression of miR-155 increased in DN renal tissue and high glucose-stimulated renal cells.(2)MiR-155 was related to the regulation of Smad5 gene expression.(3)MiR-155 promoted the mesangial cells proliferation and increased extracellular matrix by down-regulating Smad5 expression. Conclusions MiR-155 can promote the mesangial cells proliferation and renal fibrosis by regulating Smad5 gene,providing a basis for further understanding the pathogenesis of DN.

RESUMO
【Objective】To observe the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese comprehensive therapy for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.【Methods】Forty-one lumbar disc herniation patients received oral use of herbal medicine,external application of herbal medicine,fumigation and steaming with herbal medicine as well as pelvis traction.Fifteen days constituted one treatment course.【Results】After treatment,25 were cured,13 effective,3 ineffective and the total effective rate was 92.68%.【Conclusion】Comprehensive therapy including oral use of herbal medicine,external application of herbal medicine,fumigation and steaming with herbal medicine as well as pelvis traction has a good effect on relieving symptoms.
