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.
目的 探讨结核病在18氟-脱氧葡萄糖（18F-FDG）正电子发射断层扫描术（PET）中的影像学表现，提高对PET/CT在肺部包块诊断作用的认识，减少误诊。 方法 回顾分析2010年3月收治的1例肺结核合并纵隔淋巴结结核病患者的误诊及诊断治疗经过，分析误诊原因并总结诊治经验，结合文献复习肺部包块在PET/CT中的表现及临床特点。 结果 患者为肺部包块伴纵隔淋巴结包块，胸部CT提示肺癌伴纵隔淋巴结转移，PET/CT也考虑左肺下叶肺癌伴淋巴结转移。最后经纵隔镜淋巴结活检确诊结核，并抗结核治疗好转。 结论 结核等感染性疾病常可导致18F-FDG的摄取增加而造成PET/CT阳性结果，因此在18F-FDG PET/CT呈现阳性结果时须注意鉴别病变良恶性，其中高标准摄入值包块尤其需要注意与结核病相鉴别。
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by meta-analysis. Methods The databases searched included Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Chongqing VIP. The search time range was from the establishment of the databases to September 2022. All randomized controlled trials using tranexamic acid in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were collected. The outcome indicators were postoperative blood loss, postoperative joint cavity puncture rate, postoperative hematoma rate, postoperative Visual Analogue Scale score, and postoperative knee joint range of motion. RevMan 5.3 analysis software was selected for meta-analysis. Results A total of 6 articles were included, including 660 patients. Meta-analysis showed that the postoperative blood loss in the tranexamic acid group was lower than that in the control group [weighted mean difference (WMD)=−24.32 mL, 95% confidence interval (CI) (−33.73 mL, −14.91 mL), P<0.000 01]. The postoperative Visual Analogue Scale score in the tranexamic acid group was lower than that in the control group [WMD=−0.69, 95%CI (−1.21, −0.18), P=0.009]. The postoperative knee joint range of motion in the tranexamic acid group was higher than that in the control group [WMD=2.88°, 95%CI (0.55°, 5.21°), P=0.02]. The postoperative joint cavity puncture rate in the tranexamic acid group was lower than that in the control group [risk ratio (RR)=0.25, 95%CI (0.12, 0.53), P=0.0003]. The postoperative hematoma rate in the tranexamic acid group was lower than that in the control group [RR=0.40, 95%CI (0.21, 0.78), P=0.007]. Conclusion The patients who used tranexamic acid in in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction have less postoperative bleeding, lower knee joint puncture rate and hematoma formation rate, which are conducive to pain relief and functional rehabilitation.
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.
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.

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.
