Objective To determine whether Rb gene is involved in the genesis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). MethodsForty paraffin specimens of primary HCCs with corresponding adjacent liver tissues and normal liver tissues were investigated for Rb protein expression by tissue chip and SP immunohistochemical technique. ResultsLoss of Rb protein expression occurred in 17 of 40 tumor samples, whereas in 4 of 40 adjacent liver tissue samples, only 1 of 40 normal liver tissue specimens showed negative Rb staining.Rb protein deletion in HCC was higher than that in adjacent tissues and normal liver tissues (P＜0.05).Rb protein deletion rate doesn’t correlated remarkably with tumor size or phathology grade of HCC （Pgt;0.05）. ConclusionRb protein deletion may play an important role in the tumorigenesis of HCC.Tissue chip is an effective highthroughput technique platform for the study of tumor molecular pathology.
Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of tranexamic acid (TXA) in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair by meta-analysis. Methods Randomized controlled trials evaluating the clinical effectiveness and safety of TXA use in the perioperative period of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were identified from the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang database, with a search time span from the inception of the database to August 2024. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software, and mean difference (MD) and risk difference (RD) were used as measures of effect size. Results A total of 7 randomized controlled trials were included. Meta-analysis demonstrated significant differences in good visual clarity [MD=9.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) (4.05, 14.15), P=0.0004] and operative time [MD=?12.07 min, 95%CI (?17.21, ?6.93) min, P<0.00001]. There was no significant difference in mean arterial pressure [MD=?1.08 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), 95%CI (?3.13, 0.98) mm Hg, P=0.30] or adverse event rate [RD=0.02, 95%CI (?0.01, 0.06), P=0.22] between the two groups. Conclusion TXA is effective and safe in enhancing visual clarity and significantly reducing operative time in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, without increasing the incidence of adverse events.
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of aspirin and rivaroxaban in the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Eight databases were searched, including Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, PubMed, SinoMed, Wanfang, Chongqing VIP, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. The search period was from the establishment of databases to June 2023. All randomized controlled trials of aspirin and rivaroxaban for the prevention of VTE after TKA were collected, and meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 7 articles were included, with a publication period from 2014 to 2022, including a total of 714 patients, including 356 in the aspirin group and 358 in the rivaroxaban group. The meta-analysis results showed that the incidence of deep venous thrombosis in the lower limbs of the aspirin group was higher than that of the rivasarb group [relative risk (RR)=1.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.09, 2.16), P=0.01], and the incidence of bleeding complications was lower than that of the rivaroxaban group [RR=0.66, 95%CI (0.52, 0.82), P=0.0003]. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of wound complications between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The efficacy of rivaroxaban in preventing VTE after TKA is better than that of aspirin, but there is an increased risk of bleeding complications.
OBJECTIVE To review the progress of the relation between transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and repair of tissue injury. METHODS The recent articles about TGF-beta and tissue reconstruction were extensively reviewed. The gene identification, production, activation of TGF-beta and its role in the repair course of tissue injury were investigated. RESULTS TGF-beta belongs to a family of multifunctional polypeptides, its gene structure is highly conservative. Many animal models about TGF-beta and tissue injury have been established. The research mainly focuses on the classification, distribution of TGF-beta receptors and their signal pathway. CONCLUSION TGF-beta plays an important roles in the regulation of repair of tissue injury.
Objective To compare the effects of hypoxia-inducible drugs using deferoxamine (DFO) and accordion technique (AT) on activating the hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α)/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway to promote bone regeneration and remodelling during consolidation phase of distraction osteogenesis (DO). Methods Forty-five specific-pathogen-free adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into the control group, DFO group, and AT group, with 15 rats in each group. All rats underwent osteotomy to establish a right femur DO model. Then, continuous distraction was started for 10 days after 5 days of latency in each group. During the consolidation phase after distraction, no intervention was performed in the control group; DFO was locally perfused into the distraction area in the DFO group starting at the 3rd week of consolidation phase; cyclic stress stimulation was given in the AT group starting at the 3rd week of consolidation phase. The general condition of rats in each group was observed. X-ray films were conducted at the end of the distraction phase and at the 2nd, 4th, and 6th weeks of the consolidation phase to observe the calcification in the distraction area. At the 4th and 6th weeks of the consolidation phase, peripheral blood was taken for ELISA detection (HIF-1α, VEGF, CD31, and Osterix), femoral specimens were harvested for gross observation, histological staining (HE staining), and immunohistochemical staining [HIF-1α, VEGF, osteopontin (OPN), osteocalcin (OCN)]. At the 6th week of the consolidation phase, Micro-CT was used to observe the new bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), trabecular number (Tb.N), and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) in the distraction area, and biomechanical test (ultimate load, elastic modulus, energy to failure, and stiffness) to detect bone regeneration in the distraction area. Results The rats in all groups survived until the termination of the experiment. ELISA showed that the contents of HIF-1α, VEGF, CD31, and Osterix in the serum of the AT group were significantly higher than those of the DFO group and control group at the 4th and 6th weeks of the consolidation phase (P<0.05). General observation, X-ray films, Micro-CT, and biomechanical test showed that bone formation in the femoral distraction area was significantly better in the DFO group and AT group than in the control group, and complete recanalization of the medullary cavity was achieved in the AT group, and BMD, BV/TV, Tb.Sp, Tb.N, and Tb.Th, as well as ultimate load, elastic modulus, energy to failure, and stiffness in the distraction area, were better in the AT group than in the DFO group and control group, and the differences were significant (P<0.05). HE staining showed that trabecular bone formation and maturation in the distraction area were better in the AT group than in the DFO group and control group. Immunohistochemical staining showed that at the 4th week of consolidation phase, the expression levels of HIF-1α, VEGF, OCN, and OPN in the distraction area of the AT group were significantly higher than those of the DFO group and control group (P<0.05); however, at 6th week of consolidation phase, the above indicators were lower in the AT group than in the DFO group and control group, but there was no significant difference between groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Both continuous local perfusion of DFO in the distraction area and AT during the consolidation phase can activate the HIF-1α/VEGF signaling pathway. However, AT is more effective than local perfusion of DFO in promoting the process of angiogenesis, osteogenesis, and bone remodelling.
【摘要】 目的 對季也蒙念珠菌感染患者的臨床及微生物學特征進行分析，為臨床診治提供參考。 方法 收集2006年1月-2008年12月病原菌培養為季也蒙念珠菌的10例住院患者資料進行回顧性分析。 結果 季也蒙念珠菌感染患者存在多種基礎疾病，大多數患者（8/10）有易感因素，其中7例使用廣譜抗菌藥物。10例中有8例為深部真菌感染。其臨床表現與感染部位有關，主要累及泌尿道、呼吸道和皮膚軟組織。多數深部感染患者（6/8）在感染前存在同部位細菌感染，部分患者（3/8）在相同部位還可分離出其他真菌。全部季也蒙念珠菌菌株對兩性霉素B敏感，大多數菌株（9/10）對氟康唑敏感。僅1例患者因肺部感染、呼吸衰竭死亡，其余患者經氟康唑、伊曲康唑或特比萘芬等抗真菌藥物治愈。 結論 季也蒙念珠菌感染多發生于有基礎疾病、存在真菌易感因素者，感染部位多為原細菌感染部位，常合并其他細菌或真菌感染。部分菌株對氟康唑和伊曲康唑中敏或耐藥，治療應根據藥敏進行選擇。【Abstract】 Objective To analyze the clinical and microbiologic characters of candida guilliermondii to improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods The clinical data of 10 patients with candida guilliermondii infection diagnosed in our hospital from January 2006 to December 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. Results All the patients had several underlying conditions; eight patients had predisposing factors and seven patients were prescribed with broad-spectrum antibacterials. Eight patients had deep mycoses, whose clinical manifestation was associated with the infectious sites, mainly involved in urinary tract, respiratory tract and skin-soft tissues. Most deep mycoses (6/8) had prior bacterial infection at the candida guilliermondii infection site; some patients (3/8) had other fungous infection at the same time. All the strains were sensitive to amphotericin B; most fungous strains (9/10) were sensitive to fluconazole. One patient died of pulmonary infection and respiratory failure, and the others were cured by fluconazole, itraconazole or terbinafine. Conclusion Candida guilliermondii infection mainly occurs in patients with underlying conditions and predisposing factors. The infectious sites have prior bacterial infection and bacterial infection or fungous infection at the same time. Since some candida guilliermondii strains were not sensitive to fluconazole and itraconzole, drug sensitive test should be consulted.
目的 探討結核病在18氟-脫氧葡萄糖（18F-FDG）正電子發射斷層掃描術（PET）中的影像學表現，提高對PET/CT在肺部包塊診斷作用的認識，減少誤診。 方法 回顧分析2010年3月收治的1例肺結核合并縱隔淋巴結結核病患者的誤診及診斷治療經過，分析誤診原因并總結診治經驗，結合文獻復習肺部包塊在PET/CT中的表現及臨床特點。 結果 患者為肺部包塊伴縱隔淋巴結包塊，胸部CT提示肺癌伴縱隔淋巴結轉移，PET/CT也考慮左肺下葉肺癌伴淋巴結轉移。最后經縱隔鏡淋巴結活檢確診結核，并抗結核治療好轉。 結論 結核等感染性疾病常可導致18F-FDG的攝取增加而造成PET/CT陽性結果，因此在18F-FDG PET/CT呈現陽性結果時須注意鑒別病變良惡性，其中高標準攝入值包塊尤其需要注意與結核病相鑒別。
ObjectiveTo systematically review the postoperative infection-related complications between cemented and cementless hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture.MethodsCochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, China Biology Medicine Database, Chongqing VIP China Science and Technology Journal Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Database were searched to collect randomized controlled trials of postoperative infection-related complications between cemented and cementless hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture from inception to January 2018. A systematic review was performed to compare the postoperative deep infection, superficial wound infection, pneumonia infection, and urinary tract infection between cemented and cementless hemiarthroplasty. Analyses were conducted using Review Manager version 5.2.0 software.ResultsA total of 11 studies were included in the Meta-analysis, including 1 533 patients. There was no significant difference in the incidence of deep infection [odds ratio (OR)=1.62, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.66, 3.94), P=0.29], superficial wound infection [OR=1.17, 95%CI (0.56, 2.47), P=0.68], pneumonia infection [OR=0.73, 95%CI (0.47, 1.13), P=0.16], or urinary tract infection [OR=1.10, 95%CI (0.65, 1.86), P=0.73] between the two groups.ConclusionWhen selecting a fixation method for hemiarthroplasty to treat eldly patients with femoral neck fracture, infection-related postoperative complications are not the determinant factor to consider.
Based on the practice of large tertiary hospitals in clinical pathway (CP) entrance management, we implemented a fine CP management model with standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment, and encouraged the department to continuously optimize the path form, expand CP coverage and improve the entry rate in a flexible path. Combining PDCA cycles with CP management, it can promote the realization of management goals and achieve continuous improvement, while providing operable (repeatable) methods to the practice of hospital CP management.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intraoperative tranexamic acid use in total shoulder arthroplasty. Methods By searching Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Chongqing VIP, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database from the establishment of the database to September 2021, randomized controlled trials of intraoperative tranexamic acid use in total shoulder arthroplasty were collected. Outcome indicators were total blood loss, postoperative drainage, hemoglobin reduction, length of operation, length of hospital stay, and formation of hematoma. RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. Results Meta analysis results showed that the use of tranexamic acid can reduce total blood loss [weighted mean difference = ?246.55 mL, 95% confidence interval (?335.36, ?157.75) mL, P<0.000 01], reduce postoperative drainage [weighted mean difference = ?134.05 mL, 95% confidence interval (?161.72, ?106.38) mL, P<0.000 01], reduce hemoglobin reduction [weighted mean difference = ?0.64 g/dL, 95% confidence interval (?0.91, ?0.36) g/dL, P< 0.000 01], reduce hematoma formation [risk ratio=0.41, 95% confidence interval (0.22, 0.77), P=0.005]. There was no statistically significant difference in the length of operation and length of hospitalization between patients who used tranexamic acid and those who did not use tranexamic acid (P>0.05). Conclusions Tranexamic acid is effective and safe for patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty. It can reduce perioperative bleeding and hematoma formation without increasing the length of surgery and hospitalization.
