Objective To explore the effect of tri pterygium glycoside (TG) on the skeletal muscle atrophy and apoptosis after nerve allograft. Methods Twenty Wistar male rats were adopted as donors, weighing 200-250 g, and the sciatic nerves were harvested. Fifty SD male rats were adopted as recipients, weighing 200-250 g. Fifty SD rats were made the models of10 mm right sciatic nerve defect randomly divided into five groups (n=10): group A, group B, group C, group D and group E.groups A and B received fresh nerve allograft, groups C and D received sciatic nerve allograft pretreated with TG, and group E received autograft. The SD rats were given medicine for 5 weeks from the second day after the transplantation: groups A and E were given physiological sal ine, groups B and D TG 5 mg/ (kg·d), and group C TG 2.5 mg/ (kg·d). At 3 and 6 weeks, respectively, after nerve transplantation, general observation was performed; the structure of skeletal muscles was observed by HE staining; the diameter of skeletal muscles was analyzed with Image-Pro Plus v5.2; the ultrastructure of skeletal muscles was observed by TEM; the expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by immunohistochemical staining; and the apoptosis of skeletal muscles was detected by TUNEL. Results All rats survived to the end of the experiment. In general observation, the skeletal muscles of SD rates atrophied to different degrees 3 weeks after operation. The muscular atrophy in group A was more serious at 6 weeks, and that in the other groups improved. The wet weight, fiber diameter and expression of Bcl-2 in group A were significantly lower than those in groups B, C, D and E (P lt; 0.01)；those in groups B, C and D were lower than those in group E (P lt; 0.05); and there were no significant differences among groups B, C and D (P gt; 0.05). The apoptosis index and expression of Bax in group A were significantly higher than those in groups B, C, D and E (P lt; 0.01)；those in groups B, C and D were higher than in groupE (Plt; 0.05); and there were no significant differences among groups B, C and D (P gt; 0.05). Three weeks after nerve allograft, under the l ight microscope, the muscle fibers became thin; under the TEM, the sarcoplasmic reticulum was expanded. Six weeks after nerve allograft, under the l ight microscope, the gap of the muscle fibers in group A was found to broaden and connective tissue hyperplasia occurred obviously; under the TEM, sarcomere damage, serious silk dissolution and fragmentary Z l ines were seen in group A, but the myofibrils were arranged tidily in the other groups, and the l ight band, dark band and sarcomere were clear. Conclusion TG can decrease the skeletal muscle atrophy and apoptosis after nerve allograft. The donor’s nerve that is pretreated with TG can reduce the dosage of immunosuppressant for the recipient after allograft.
Objective To investigate the feasibility and characteristic of tissue engineered testicular prosthesis with highdensity polyethylene(HDPE，trade name: Medpor) and polyglycolic acid(PGA). Methods The chondrocytes were isolated from the swine articular.The PGA scaffold was incorporated with medpor which semidiameters were 6mmand 4mm respectively.Then, the chondrocytes (5×10 7/ml) were seeded onto Medpor-PGA scaffold and cultured for 2 weeks. The ten BALB／C mice were divided into two groups randomly(n=5). In the experimental group, the cell-scaffold construct was implanted into subcutaneous pockets on the back of nude mice. In the control group, the Medpor-PGA scaffold was implanted. The mice of two groups were sacrificed to harvest the newly formed cartilage prosthesis after 8 weeks. Macroscopy, histology and immunohistochemistry observations were made. Results The gross observation showed that on changes were in shape and at size, the color and elasticity were similar to that of normal cartilage and that the cartilage integrated with Medpor in the experimental group; no cartilage formed and fiberlike tissue was found in the control group. HE staining showed that many mature cartilage lacuna formed without blood vessel and some PGA did not degradated completely. Toluidine blue staining showed extracellular matrix had metachromia. Safranin O-fast green staining showed that many proteoglycan deposited and collagen type Ⅱ expression was bly positive. In the control group, Medpor was encapsulated by fiber tissue with rich blood vessel. Conclusion The newly formed complex of Medpor-PGA and cells was very similar to testicle in gross view and to normal cartilage in histology. This pilot technique of creating testicular prosthesis by incorporating tissue-engineered cartilage with Medpor demonstrated success.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy, safety and economical values of nucleic acid/nueleotides for clinical nutritional support and immune treatment. Methods The following electronic databases were searched: Chinese Biomedicine database (CBM), MEDLINE, EMBASE and SCI. Data were extracted by two reviewers. Applied RevMan 4.1 for statistical analyse. Results Forty-six randomized controlled trials were identified, involving nucleic acids/nucleotides for clinical nutritional support, infant feed, immune treatment. Eighteen randomized trials comparing the use of immunonutrition which comprises nucleotides with standard enteral nutrition in surgical and critical ill patients. Combined analysis directed that immunonutrition therapy decrease infection events, length of hospitalization and the cost. Only one trial reported the effects of adding nucleotides to breast milk substitute, but there is no valuable results for clinical practice. Twenty-seven low quality trials compared the use of "immune RNA (iRNA)" with standard methods in hepatitis, carcinoma and burn patients, combined analysis directed that there are not valid evidences to confirm the value of iRNA. Conclusions Immunonutrition may decrease infection rates, length of hospitalisation and cost in surgery and critical ill patients, but we can not affirm the role of the nucleotides in irmnunonutrition. No evidences support the point of adding nucteotides in breast milk substitute. Also, we can not affirm the role of iRNA in clinical immune regulation treatment. There are no available evidences in nucleic acids for caducity prevention and improvement of aging people’s health. Consequently, we advice Chinese health officials to enhance the management for applying "nucleic acids nutrients".
Objective We investigated the effect of supplementation with alanyl-glutamine dipeptide on insulin resistance and outcome in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and respiratory failure. Methods A prospective, randomized, open and controlled trial was conducted. Patients with COPD and respiratory failure were recruited between Jan 2005 to Feb 2006 and randomly assigned to a trial group (n=14) with glutamine dipeptide supplmented parenteral nutrition and a control group (n=16) with isocaloric, isonitrogenic parenteral nutrition. On the third day and fifth day of nutrition treatment, blood glucose was clamped at level of 4.4 to 6.1 mmol/L by intravenously bumped insulin. Blood gas, blood glucose level, insulin dosage were recorded everyday. The outcomes were mortality, length of stay (LOS) in hospital and in ICU, mechanical ventilation times and the costs of ICU and hospital.Results Thirty patients successfully completed the trial. There was no difference in blood gas between two groups, but PaO2 increased gradually. Compared with control group, blood glucose level had trend to decrease in trial group. The average insul in consumption decreased significantly in trial group on the fifth day. There was no statistical difference between two groups in mortality, length of stay in hospital and the costs of hospital. But compared with control group, length of stay in ICU and mechanical ventilation days had trend to decrease in trial group. Conclusion Alanyl-glutamine dipeptide do not improve pulmonary function of patients with COPD and respiratory failure. However, alanyl-glutamine dipeptide attenuated insul in resistance and stabilized blood glucose. This trial does not confirm alanyl-glutamine di peptide can improve outcome in critically ill patients with COPD and respiratory failure between two groups in mortality at the end of 30 days, length of stay in hospital and the costs of hospital. But the length of stay in ICU and the duration of mechanical ventilation does decrease, but not significantly, in the trial group.
Objective To analyze the correlation between the morphology of tibial intercondylar eminence and non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and risk identification of ACL injury. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the knee radiographs of 401 patients admitted to the Chengdu Second People’s Hospital between January 2017 and October 2021, including 219 males and 182 females. Non-contact rupture of ACL was observed in 180 patients and confirmed by arthroscopy or surgery, while the remained 221 patients were confirmed to have normal ACL by physical examination and MRI. The heights of medial and lateral tibial intercondylar eminence and the width of tibial intercondylar eminence of the 401 patients were measured, and the risk factors of ACL injury were analyzed. Results The height of medial tibial intercondylar eminence was lower and the width of tibial intercondylar eminence was smaller in male patients with ACL fracture than those in the male control group with statistical significance (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that a narrow width of tibial intercondylar eminence was a risk factor of ACL injury in males (P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the diagnostic threshold was 11.40 mm, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.851 [95% confidence interval (CI) (0.797, 0.896)], the sensitivity was 72.81%, and the specificity was 84.76%. The height of medial tibial intercondylar eminence was lower and the width of tibial intercondylar eminence was smaller in female patients than those in the female control group with statistical significance (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that both a low height of medial tibial intercondylar eminence and a narrow width of tibial intercondylar eminence were risk factors of ACL injury in females (P<0.05). For the width of medial tibial intercondylar eminence, the ROC curve showed that the diagnostic threshold was 8.30 mm, and the AUC was 0.684 [95%CI (0.611, 0.751)], the sensitivity and specificity were 63.64% and 72.41%, respectively; for the height of medial tibial intercondylar eminence, the diagnostic threshold was 11.30 mm, and the AUC was 0.699 [95%CI (0.627, 0.756)], the sensitivity was 89.39%, and the specificity was 47.41%. Conclusions The reduced width of tibial intercondylar eminence is a risk factor and effective predictor of non-contact ACL injury in males. Both the reduced height of the medial tibial intercondylar eminence and the reduced width of tibial intercondylar eminence are risk factors and may be predictors for non-contact ACL injury in females.
Objective To evaluate differences of clinical effects between cervical total disc replacement (TDR) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for single symptomatic single-level cervical degenerative disc disease. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from the Cochrane Library Central Register of Controlled Trials (Issue 1, 2009), MEDLINE (2000 to May 2009), EMbase (2000 to May 2009), Ovid (2000 to May 2009), CBM (2000 to May 2009) and CNKI (2000 to May 2009) were electronically searched. Additionally, six relevant journals were handsearched to identify RCTs about comparison of TDR and ACDF in the treatment of single-level cervical degenerative disc disease. All RCTs demonstrating these issues were included. RevMan 5.0 software was used for meta-analyses. Results Six RCTs involving 1 340 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses indicated that there were significant differences between the two groups in neurological success (RR=1.06, 95%CI 1.02 to 1.11, P=0.003), secondary surgical procedures (RR=0.30, 95%CI 0.17 to 0.53, Plt;0.0001) and overall success (RR=1.13, 95%CI 1.06 to 1.22, P=0.0006). However, there were no significant differences in Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores (WMD=1.53, 95%CI –0.55 to 3.61, P=0.15), neck pain scores (WMD= –2.87, 95%CI 7.75 to 1.81, P=0.23), arm pain scores (WMD= –0.7, 95%CI –0.86 to –0.54, P=0.48), radiography success (RR=0.96, 95%CI 0.92 to 1.01, P=0.11), and postoperative complications (RR=0.79, 95%CI 0.49 to 1.28, P=0.34) between the two groups. Conclusion The evidence indicates that compared with ACDF, TDR could improve neurological status, reduce secondary surgical procedures and promote overall success for single-level cervical degenerative disc disease, but there are no significant differences in postoperative NDI, neck and arm pain scores, radiography success, and complications.
ObjectiveTo reveal the scientific output and trends in pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer prediction models. MethodsPublications on predictive models of pulmonary nodules/early lung cancer between January 1, 2002 and June 3, 2023 were retrieved and extracted from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and Web of Science database. CiteSpace 6.1.R3 and VOSviewer 1.6.18 were used to analyze the hotspots and theme trends. ResultsA marked increase in the number of publications related to pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer prediction models was observed. A total of 12581 authors from 2711 institutions in 64 countries/regions published 2139 documents in 566 academic journals in English. A total of 282 articles from 1256 authors were published in 176 journals in Chinese. The Chinese and English journals which published the most pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer prediction model-related papers were Journal of Clinical Radiology and Frontiers in Oncology, respectively. Chest was the most frequently cited journal. China and the United States were the leading countries in the field of pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer prediction models. The institutions represented by Fudan University had significant academic influence in the field. Analysis of keywords revealed that multi-omics, nomogram, machine learning and artificial intelligence were the current focus of research. ConclusionOver the last two decades, research on risk-prediction models for pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer has attracted increasing attention. Prognosis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, nomogram, and multi-omics technologies are both current hotspots and future trends in this field. In the future, in-depth explorations using different omics should increase the sensitivity and accuracy of pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer prediction models. More high-quality future studies should be conducted to validate the efficacy and safety of pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer prediction models further and reduce the global burden of lung cancer.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of kinesio-taping therapy on hemifacial spasm.MethodsPatients with hemifacial spasm in the Rehabilitation Medical Center of West China Hospital, Sichuan University from June 2015 to December 2018 were included. They were randomly divided into the kinesio-taping group and control group. The patients in the control group underwent ultrashort wave therapy and facial muscle function training: once a day, 10 days as a course of treatment; 2 days rest between each course; a total of 3 courses of treatment. In the kinesio-taping group, besides the original treatment, the kinesio-taping therapy was added: once a day, 10 times as a course of treatment; 2 days rest between each course; a total of 3 courses of treatment. The clinical effect of the two groups was observed.ResultsA total of 60 patients were included, with 30 in each of the two groups. There was no significant difference in the classification of facial muscle spasm between the two groups before the treatment (Z=−0.233, P=0.816). After the treatment, the difference in the classification of facial muscle spasm between the two groups was statistically significant (Z=−3.062, P=0.002); while both the kinesio-taping group (Z=−4.688, P< 0.001) and the control group (Z=−3.804, P< 0.001) improved compared with those before the treatment. The effect of kinesio-taping group [93.33% (28/30)] was better than that of the control group [76.67% (23/30)] (Z=−3.073, P=0.002).ConclusionKinesio-taping therapy can relieve the stiffness and pain caused by facial spasm, promote the recovery of facial muscle sensory function and bilateral coordinated movement, and relieve the clinical symptoms of patients,with the advantages of simple operation and good effect.
ObjectivesTo investigate the ability of emergency medical rescue personnel in Sichuan province to collect information and contact resources at rescue sites, and to provide evidence for emergency training and drills. MethodsThe rescue site of a batch of critically ill patients in public emergency was simulated. The cross-sectional survey was made on rescue personnel at the city (prefecture) and county level of Sichuan province. The rating scale of on-site information contact ability was used to evaluate their performance. Because the score distribution does not conform to the normal distribution, the space between the median and interquartile was used to describe the score, and multiple measurement data was compared by the rank sum test. ResultsA total of 287 rescue drill personnel were included. The overall score M (P25, P75) of information contact ability was 19.57 (13.04, 28.26). The scores of each dimension were as follows: the safety zone was set as 0 (0, 10), the on-site hazard identification was 0 (0, 16.67), external contact and coordination was 50 (0, 50), internal coordination and command was 50 (16.67, 50), the on-site disaster statistics was 40 (10, 70), the on-site resource status was 0 (0, 0), and the on-site reinforcement demand was 0 (0, 0). Hierarchy by occupation: 19.57 (12.50, 28.26) for clinicians, 19.57 (14.13, 34.78) for nurses, 25 (14.67, 32.61) for medical skills, 21.74 (14.13, 30.44) for public health doctors, and 17.39 (9.78, 21.74) for health management. Hierarchy by titles: 21.74 (13.04, 28.26) for intermediate level, and 17.39 (10.33, 23.91) for advanced level. Scores of different dimensions, occupations and titles were compared respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). ConclusionsThe results of this survey show that the emergency medical rescue personnel at the city (prefecture) and county level of Sichuan province have insufficient overall ability to contact information on site, so those with insufficient ability need to be trained. The training focuses on the on-site resource status, on-site reinforcement demands, safety zone setting and the ability to identify on-site hazards.
