Objective To investigate the expressions of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein （XIAP） and survivin in primary hepatocellular carcinoma tissues，and to explore the relationship between them. Methods The expressions of XIAP and survivin protein in 38 primary hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and 16 paracancerous tissues were detected by using immunohistochemistry and the expressions were scored. Results The positive expression rate of XIAP and survivin in primary hepatocellular carcinoma tissues was 81.6% （31/38）and 78.9% （30/38），respctively （P＜0.001）， and in paracancerous tissues was 12.5% （2/16）and 6.3% （1/16）， respectively （P＜0.001）. The score of XIAP expression in the well， middle，and low differentiated tissues of primary hepatocellular carcinoma was （2.91±1.31），（9.27±3.25）， and （13.08±2.26） score， respectively （F=118.948，P＜0.001）， and the score of survivin expression was （4.85±1.83）， （11.08±3.72），and （13.38±1.76） score， respectively （F=72.202，P＜0.001）. They both significantly correlated with the histological grade，but not with the size of tumor（P＞0.05）. There was significantly correlation between the expression intensity of XIAP and survivin in primary hepatocellular carcinoma tissues （r=0.764， P＜0.001）. Conclusions The expression intensity of XIAP and survivin in primary hepatocellular carcinoma tissues are both related with the differentiation of primary hepatocellular carcinoma. The expression intensity of XIAP is related with the survivin， and they may play an important role in the tumor progression and chemical resistances.
Fleming proposed the concept of evidence-based pathology (EBP) in 1996. In recent years, there have been a lot of evidence-based studies on the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. However, there are still limitations and challenges in the development, and the growth in application of evidence-based medicine in the pathology is still slow. This study introduced the history of evidence-based pathology, summarized the primary application areas and the latest research progress, analyzed current opportunities and challenges of evidence-based pathology, and provided some suggestions.
ObjectiveTo review the research progress of the biomechanical study of the Bristow-Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder dislocation. MethodsThe related biomechanical literature of Bristow-Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder dislocation was extensively reviewed and summarized. ResultsThe current literature suggests that when performing Bristow-Latarjet procedure, care should be taken to fix the bone block edge flush with the glenoid in the sagittal plane in the direction where the rupture of the joint capsule occurs. If traditional screw fixation is used, a double-cortical screw fixation should be applied, while details such as screw material have less influence on the biomechanical characteristics. Cortical button fixation is slightly inferior to screws in terms of biomechanical performance. The most frequent site of postoperative bone resorption is the proximal-medial part of the bone block, and the cause of bone resorption at this site may be related to the stress shielding caused by the screw. ConclusionThere is no detailed standardized guidance for bone block fixation. The optimal clinical treatment plan for different degrees of injury, the factors influencing postoperative bone healing and remodeling, and the postoperative osteoarticular surface pressure still need to be further clarified by high-quality biomechanical studies.
Objective To analyze and summarize the changes of the bronchus and vessels of right B2 downwards-shift. Methods The 5 280 patients who underwent three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography between January 2019 and January 2022 were screened. Based on the opening position of B1+3, we classified bronchial variations into a normal type, over type, and tracheal-bronchus type. Results Finally 6 patients were included with 1 male and 5 females, aged 29 to 71 years. According to our bronchial classification, there were 4 (66.7%) patients of the normal type in this group, 1 (16.7%) of over type, and 1 (16.7%) of tracheal-bronchus type. About arteries, 4 (66.7%) patients was the trunk superior (Tr.sup)+posterior artery (A.post) type and 2 (33.3%) Tr.sup+trunk inferior (Tr.inf)+A.post type. About veins, 2 (33.3%) patients were the Ⅰab+right upper lobe vein posterior to the bronchus intermedius (UVPBI) type, 1 (16.7%)Ⅰb+UVPBI type, 1 (16.7%) anterior+UVPBI type, 1 (16.7%) central+UVPBI type and 1 (16.7%) central type. ConclusionIn the right B2 downwards-shift, A.post exists, and the posterior oblique fissure is poorly developed (RS2 and RS6 are interconnected). Therefore, it is easier for us to dissect and disconnect B2 intraoperatively, but it is necessary to be vigilant for vascular damage caused by opening the posterior oblique fissure.
Objective To explore effects of edaravone on apoptosis and expressions of apoptotic proteins Smac and XIAP in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cell of rats under intermittent hypoxia. Methods A total of 96 adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group, 5% intermittent hypoxic group and edaravone group, and each group was divided into 4 time groups at 7 d, 14 d, 21 d and 28 d, respectively, with 8 rats in each subgroup. The content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in hippocampal tissues of the experimental rats was detected by the reactive oxygen species detection kit. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the expressions of Smac and XIAP protein in hippocampal CA1 region. The Tunel method detected the apoptosis of neurons. Results Compared with the control group, the content of ROS, the expressions of Smac and XIAP proteins and the neuronal apoptosis index in the hippocampus were increased in the 5% intermittent hypoxia group and the edaravone group at each time point (all P<0.05). The content of ROS, the Smac protein expression and the neuronal apoptosis index in the edaravone group were significantly lower than those in the 5% intermittent hypoxia group (all P<0.05). The expression of XIAP protein in the edaravone group was significantly higher than that in the 5% intermittent hypoxia group (P<0.05). Conclusion Edaravone may improve the antioxidant capacity of the body by scavenging oxygen free radicals and regulate Smac and XIAP- mediated apoptosis, thus playing a protective role on neurons.
ObjectiveTo introduce a new method for identifying intersegmental planes during thoracoscopic segmentectomy using pulmonary circulation single-blocking in the target segment. MethodsTo retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 83 patients who underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy from January 2019 to March 2020 using the pulmonary circulation single-blocking method. There were 33 males and 50 females, with a median age of 54 (46-65) years, and they were divided into a single vein group (SVG, n=31) and a single artery group (SAG, n=52), and the clinical data of two groups were compared. ResultsThe intersegmental planes were identified successfully in both groups and there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of intersegmental plane management (P=0.823), operating time (P=0.786), intraoperative blood loss (P=0.775), chest drainage time (P=0.659), postoperative hospital stay (P=0.824) or the incidence of postoperative complications (P=1.000). ConclusionThe use of pulmonary circulation single-blocking for intersegmental plane identification during thoracoscopic segmentectomy is safe and feasible, and the intersegmental plane can be satisfactorily identified by the single-blocking of arteries or veins.
Objective To evaluate the effect of ECRS management model on the quality of prevention and control of hospital infection with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). Methods The data related to the prevention and control of MDROs in the First Hospital of Nanchang in 2020 and 2021 were retrospectively collected. The hospital implemented routine MDRO infection prevention and control management in accordance with the Expert Consensus on the Prevention and Control of Multi-drug Resistant Bacteria Nosocomial Infection in 2020. On this basis, the hospital applied the four principles of the ECRS method to cancel, combine, rearrange and simplify the MDRO infection prevention and control management. The detection rate of MDROs on object surfaces, the incidence rate of hospital infection of MDROs, the compliance rate of hand hygiene, the implementation rate of contact isolation prevention and control measures, and the pass rate of MDRO infection prevention and control education assessment were analyzed and compared between the two years. Results The detection rate of MDROs on the surfaces in 2021 was lower than that in 2020 (9.39% vs. 31.63%). The hospital-acquired MDRO infection rate in 2021 was lower than that in 2020 (1.18% vs. 1.46%). The hand hygiene compliance rates of medical staff, workers and caregivers in 2021 were higher than those in 2020 (90.99% vs. 78.63%, 73.51% vs. 45.96%, 70.96% vs. 33.71%). The implementation rate of contact isolation prevention and control measures in 2021 was higher than that in 2020 (93.31% vs. 70.79%). The qualified rates of MDRO infection prevention and control education in medical personnel, workers and caregivers in 2021 were higher than those in 2020 (96.57% vs. 81.31%, 76.47% vs. 47.95%, 73.17% vs. 34.19%). All the differences above were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion ECRS management mode can improve the execution and prevention level of MDRO hospital infection prevention and control, and reduce the incidence of MDRO hospital infection.

Methods A total of 120 patients with CHD diagnosed by coronary arteriongraphy between October 2008 and April 2010 were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups: CHD group (60 patients); CHD accompanied with T2DM group (60 patients). The levels of serum insulin, adiponectin and RBP4 were measured. All the patients underwent coronary angiography and the extent of coronary lesions was assessed quantitatively based on the Gensini′s scoring system. Results The levels of serum insulin, plasma RBP4 and the extent of coronary artery stenosis in CHD accompanied with T2DM group were significantly higher than those in CHD group (Plt;0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the level of RBP4 was positively correlated with LDL-C, insulin resistance index and the coronary artery narrow degree（r=0.312, 0.322, 0.314; Plt;0.05); and negatively correlated with adiponectin (r=-0.362, Plt;0.01). Conclusion The significant elevated plasma RBP4 in CHD patients accompanied with T2DM is positively correlated with the extent of coronary artery lesion.

Methods From January to April 2008, 35 patients with T2DM (group A1: HOMA-IRlt;2.69, n=19; group A2: HOMA-IR≥ 2.69, n=16) and 20 subjects without T2DM (group B) were enrolled. The body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin (FINS), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and E/A, e/a, S/D, LVEF and DT stage of all subjects were detected. Results The BMI in group A2 was higher than those in group A1 and group B (Plt;0.05), while the difference between the later two groups was not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05). The ANP, BNP and DT stage were all higher than those in group B (Plt;0.05), the BNP was higher in group A2 than in group A1 (Plt;0.05), while the difference of neither ANP nor DT stage between the later two groups was statistically significant (Pgt;0.05). The values of E/A, e/a and S/D in group A1 and A2 were all lower than those in group B (Plt;0.05), while there were no statistically significant diferences between group A1 and A2 (Pgt;0.05). The values of LVEF of group A1 and A2 were both significantly reduced than that in group B (Plt;0.05), and the values in group A2 were the lowest (Plt;0.05). Conclusion With the aggravating of insulin resistance, myocardial contractility and diastolic function will decline, meanwhile the ANP and BNP secretion will increase, and then the clinical and echocardiographic manifestation will appear.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) on the intestinal barrier function under inflammation. MethodsInterleukin-10 knockout (IL-10－/－) mice were used as the model of inflammatory bowel disease. IL-10－/－ and wild type (WT) mice received the LP or Ringer solutions for 4 weeks. Colitis was assessed by histological score and clinical manifestation was observed. The gut paracellular permeability was measured by Ussing chamber. The concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were detected by the ELISA method. The expressions and distributions of tight junction proteins were determined by Western blot and immunofluorescence, respectively. ResultsCompared with the WT group, the diarrhea, rectal prolapse, and weight loss were obvious (Plt;0.01), the concentrations of TNF-α and IFN-γ significantly increased (Plt;0.01), the infiltration of numerous inflammatory cells, even transmural ulcers, and crypt abscess were observed, the ultrastructure of tight junction was damaged, the mannitol permeability significantly increased (Plt;0.001) and transepithelial resistance (TER) significantly decreased (Plt;0.001), and the expressions of tight junction proteins (ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-1) significantly decreased (Plt;0.01) in the IL-10－/－ group. Compared with the IL-10－/－ group, the clinical and pathological manifestations of colitis significantly improved (Plt;0.01), the ultrastructural damage of tight junction was prevented, the mannitol permeability significantly decreased (Plt;0.001) and the TER significantly increased (Plt;0.001), the concentrations of TNF-α and IFN-γ significantly decreased (Plt;0.01), and the expressions of tight junction proteins (ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-1) significantly increased (Plt;0.01) in the IL-10－/－+LP group. ConclusionTreatment with LP ameliorates colonic epithelial barrier dysfunction by promoting the expressions of tight junctional proteins in IL-10－/－ mice.
