Objective To explore whether the polymorphism of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF β1) gene at 869T/C and 915G/C loci contributes to the genetic susceptibility to hypertension. Methods Assessed under the same criteria, all case control studies on relationship between the polymorphism of TGF β1 gene and hypertension were searched in both English and Chinese databases. All articles retrieved were screened and evaluated, and meta-analyses were conducted with RevMan 5.1 software. Results A total of 14 case control studies were included. The results of meta-analyses showed TGF β1 gene C allele was related to hypertension (OR=1.37, 95%CI 1.21 to 1.54). It was noted that individuals with CC genotype and TT genotype had a significant increased risk of hypertension (OR=1.43, 95%CI 1.27 to 1.60; OR=0.64, 95%CI 0.53 to 0.78, respectively). And there was no b evidence showing that TGF β1 915G/C genetic polymorphism was related to hypertension. The results from meta-analyses of the studies based on Chinese population on the two loci were in consistent with the outcomes of overall meta-analyses. Sensitivity analyses indicated the results were stable. And publication bias was not present, reflected by P values from Egger’s regression asymmetry test and Begg’s adjusted rank correction test. Conclusions 869T/C polymorphism of TGF β1 gene is associated with hypertension. C allele is potentially one of the genetic risk factors for hypertension. Present studies do not support a direct relationship between 915G/C polymorphism TGF β1 gene and hypertension.
Objective To explore the risk factors related to periprosthetic infection after breast augmentation, and to provide a basis for reducing the risk of postoperative infection. Methods A total of 1 056 female patients who underwent breast augmentation between January 2010 and January 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were 20 to 44 years old (mean, 31.6 years). The body mass index (BMI) was 19.0-31.1 kg/m2, with an average of 24.47 kg/m2. According to the periprosthetic infection standard of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the patients were divided into infection group and non-infection group. Age, BMI, diabetes, previous history of immunosuppression, history of smoking, previous history of breast surgery, previous history of mastitis, combined with active dermatitis, surgical approach, the type and shape of breast prosthesis, implant in the different layers, combined with mastopexy, operation time, postoperative antibiotic time, postoperative breast crash, and postoperative potential infection surgery were analyzed by univariate analysis. The influencing factors of prosthetic infection were screened by logistic regression. Results Periprosthetic infection occurred in 60 cases after operation, and the infection rate was 5.68%. Among them, 11 cases were acute infection, 33 cases were subacute infection, 16 cases were delayed infection, and 20 cases were positive in bacterial culture. Postoperative breast crash occurred in 114 cases. Univariate analysis showed that diabetes, previous history of immunosuppression, history of smoking, previous history of mastitis, postoperative breast crash, postoperative potential infection surgery, and combined with breast suspension were the influencing factors of postoperative periprosthetic infection (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that diabetes, history of smoking, and postoperative breast crash were the risk factors of periprosthetic infection (P<0.05). Conclusion Diabetes, smoking, and postoperative breast crash are the risk factors of periprosthetic infection after breast augmentation.

Objective To improve the knowledge of inflammatory bowel disease complicated with venous thromboembolism for better diagnosis and treatment. Methods One case of patient with ulcerative colitis complicated with a multiple vessel thromboembolism ( pulmonary arterial, deep vein of lower limb, and superior mesenteric vein) was analyzed, and related literatures were reviewed. Results The patient resulted in pulmonary thromboembolism ( PTE) recurrence because of irregular treatment. In addition to deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremity, a new discovery of the superior mesenteric vein embolism ( MVT) was diagnosed. The bleeding risk of heparin or lowmolecular weight heparin ( LMWH) for treatment is low, while that of warfarin is high. Conclusions Venous thromboembolism ( VTE) has a close relationship with inflammatory bowel disease ( IBD) such as ulcerative colitis. The symptomis not so typical that it is easy to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. It is noted that mesenteric venous thrombosis ( MVT) should be excluded in IBD patients suffering from VTE, if the source of embolus is not clear. Suitable treatment should be considered according to the risk stratification of VTE and risk-benefit ratio because of a high bleeding risk.
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of laparoscopic Y-shaped polypropylene mesh in the treatment of uterine and vaginal vault prolapse. Methods Between June 2010 and December 2012, 24 patients with uterine and vaginal vault prolapse were treated by laparoscopic pelvic reconstruction (vagina and uterus-sacral fixation) with Y-shaped polypropylene mesh. The age of patients was 35-60 years (mean, 48.6 years). The disease duration was 2-8 years (mean, 5 years). According to the pelvic organ prolapse quatitative (POP-Q) classification by International Continence Society (ICS), 16 cases were classified as uterine prolapsed degree II and 8 cases as degree III; 15 cases were classified as vaginal prolapse degree I, 7 cases as degree II, and 2 cases as degree III. All patients received postoperative follow-up regularly. Subjective evaluation was done based on prolapse quality of life questionnaire (P-QOL), and objective evaluation based on POP-Q classification. Results All the patients were operated successfully. The operation time was 22-68 minutes (mean, 33 minutes); the blood loss was 30-80 mL (mean, 51 mL); the indwelling urethral catheter remain was 3-7 days (mean, 4 days); and the hospitalization days were 4-9 days (mean, 6.8 days). Twenty-four patients were followed up 3-12 months (mean, 9 months), of whom, 2 were followed up less than 6 months. All patients had normal urination after withdrawal of urethral catheter, and the residual urine volume was in normal range. No patients had mesh erosion and discomfort during sex, vaginal and anal bearing down. The P-QOL scores at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation were significantly improved when compared with the preoperative value (P lt; 0.05); but there was no significant difference among 3, 6, and 12 months after operation (P gt; 0.05). The postoperative POP-Q classification was degree 0 in 19 cases and degree I in 3 cases, and the objective cure rate was 91.7%. No recurrence was found during follow-up. Conclusion Laparoscopic Y-shaped polypropylene mesh for treatment of uterine and vaginal vault prolapse is a safe and effective method, especially applicable to preserve the uterus, and higher requirements of sexual life of patients.

Methods from January 2005 to August 2010, 46 patients with portal hypertension and cirrhosis at different degrees of esophageal varices were divided into mild varicose group, moderate varicose group and severe varicose group according to the severity of esophageal varices. The patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery without liver disease were as the control. Portal vein pressure was detected by mercury during the surgery. The expression of CGRP was assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results The portal pressure was (14.8±2.1), (30.5±2.5), (44.3±3.2), and (47.6±3.8) cm H2O (1 cm H2O=0.098 kPa) in the control group and the mild, moderate and severe varicose group, respectively. Those CGRP content in the portal vein was (45.4±5.4), (69.2±7.2), (93.6±8.7), and (98.2±9.4) pg/mL, respectively. CGRP content and portal vein pressure were the lowest in control group, which were significantly lower than those in the other three groups (Plt;0.05); which were also significantly lower in mild varicose group than those in the moderate and severe esophageal varices group (Plt;0.05), while no statistic difference between moderate and severe esophageal varices group was found (Plt;0.05). Conclusion CGRP plays an important role in the occurrence and development of portal hypertension with cirrhosis concurrent esophageal varices, and it may serve as a useful indicator reflecting the degree of esophageal varices.
