DEGENERATED LEMMA (DEL) regulates lemma development and affects rice grain yield.

In grass, the lemma is a unique floral organ structure that directly determines grain size and yield. Despite a great deal of research on grain enlargement caused by changes in glume cells, the importance of normal development of the glume for normal grain development has been poorly studied. In this study, we investigated a rice spikelet mutant, degenerated lemma (del), which developed florets with a slightly degenerated or rod-like lemma. More importantly, del also showed a significant reduction in grain length and width, seed setting rate, and 1000-grain weight, which led to a reduction in yield. The results indicate that the mutation of the DEL gene further affects rice grain yield. Map-based cloning shows a single-nucleotide substitution from T to A within Os01g0527600/DEL/OsRDR6, causing an amino acid mutation of Leu-34 to His-34 in the del mutant. Compared with the wild type, the expression of DEL in del was significantly reduced, which might be caused by single base substitution. In addition, the expression level of tasiR-ARF in del was lower than that of the wild type. RT-qPCR results show that the expression of some floral organ identity genes was changed, which indicates that the DEL gene regulates lemma development by modulating the expression of these genes. The present results suggest that the normal expression of DEL is necessary for the formation of lemma and the normal development of grain morphology and therefore has an important effect on the yield.

Determination of permissible contact stress of case hardened raceway of roller slewing bearing.

The permissible contact stress for the rolling bearing made of the through hardened bearing steel has been established based on experience, while there is no definite value or calculating formula of the permissible contact stress for the slewing bearings which are hardened only on the raceway surface yet. To determine the permissible contact stress of the case hardened raceway of roller slewing bearing, finite element analysis for the contact elasto-plastic characteristics between the loaded roller and the case hardened raceway was performed, and the contact plastic deformations corresponding to different roller diameter, roller load, and case depth were obtained. The contact stress produced by the roller load was calculated by using Hertz contact theory. Based on the nonlinear regression analysis between the input parameters and the output plastic deformations of the model, the relation equation between the contact plastic deformation and the roller diameter, contact stress, case depth was established. The formula for calculating the permissible contact stress of the case hardened raceway was obtained according to the regression equation further. The permissible contact stresses calculated by using the obtained formula show that the permissible contact stress of the case hardened raceway depends mainly on the case depth. Loaded compression tests between the roller and the case hardened specimens were conducted to verify the validity of the established calculation method for the permissible contact stress of the case hardened raceway. Permissible contact stress decreases slightly with the increase of the roller diameter and increases with the increase of the case depth significantly. As the case depth reaches 6 mm, the maximum permissible contact stress is 3758 MPa. As the case depth reaches 7 mm, the maximum permissible contact stress of the case hardened raceway is 3889 MPa.

Application of metal-organic frameworks in implant surface modification / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:In recent years,metal-organic frameworks have been widely used in the biomedical field because of their unique properties,and metal-organic frameworks can be applied to implant surface modification for improving their biological properties and the surgery's success rate. OBJECTIVE:To introduce metal-organic frameworks commonly used in implant surface modification and the preparation and action mechanism of surgical implants modified by metal-organic frameworks. METHODS:The articles concerning metal-organic frameworks used in implant surface modification published from 2010 to 2023 were searched on PubMed,Web of Science and CNKI.Finally,64 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Metal-organic frameworks have the properties of high porosity,large specific surface area,and diverse spatial structure.As bioactive material,metal-organic frameworks have attracted much attention in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.(2)The metal-organic frameworks commonly used in the field of implant surface modification include three types.Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks are commonly used as carriers,carrying various drugs and biomolecules.The MIL series are suitable for drug carriers and nanoenzymes.Bio-metal-organic frameworks have many applications because of their diverse structure and are characterized by excellent biosafety.(3)The preparation of implant materials modified by metal-organic frameworks can be mainly divided into two types:one is to incorporate metal-organic frameworks into pretreated implants;the other is to synthesize metal-organic frameworks in situ on pretreated implants.(4)Metal-organic frameworks on the implant surface could release their components,load drugs,catalyze active reactions,or combine with other materials,giving implants antibacterial and anti-inflammatory characteristics and promoting osseointegration.The preparation method of metal-organic framework coatings needs further improvement,and the metabolism and distribution of metal-organic framework coatings should be deeply explored,and its clinical application should be actively promoted.

Correlation between time in range and glycated hemoglobin in patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus / 中华健康管理学杂志

Objective:To explore the correlation between time in range (TIR) after short-term treatment and glycated hemoglobin after 3 months (HbA lc-3m) in patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods:In this cross-sectional study, a total of 94 patients with newly-diagnosed T2DM who received treatment in the Department of Endocrinology of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People′s Hospital were enrolled from January 2018 to September 2022. The patients were followed-up for 3 months and had complete medical record. TIR was divided into three groups according to different target ranges of blood glucose (TIR1: TIR with blood glucose between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L, TIR2: TIR with blood glucose between 3.9 and 7.8 mmol/L, TIR3: TIR with fasting, premeal or bedtime blood glucose <6.1 mmol/L and 2 h postprandial blood glucose <8.0 mmol/L). The patients were divided into two groups based on whether their HbA 1c-3m level was less than 6.5%, and the baseline data and variations in TIR for distinct target glucose levels were compared between the two groups. Spearman′s correlation analysis and binary logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between baseline indicators, TIR after short-term treatment and HbA 1c-3m. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to evaluate the predictive ability of different TIR after short-term therapy for HbA 1c-3m. Results:There were statistically significant differences in TIR1 [81.0 (67.5, 94.6)% vs 71.4 (51.7, 85.7)%], TIR2 [57.7 (29.7, 70.8)% vs 40.9 (22.4, 52.3)%] and TIR3 [23.8 (10.2, 39.5)% vs 13.0 (4.8, 25.0)%] between patients with a HbA 1c-3m<6.5% and patients with a HbA 1c-3m≥6.5% (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that among all the patients with newly-diagnosed T2DM, TIR1, TIR2 and TIR3 were all negatively correlated with HbA 1c-3m [6.4 (6.1, 6.9)%] ( r=-0.322, -0.348, -0.303, respectively, all P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for the confounding factors, TIR1 ( OR=1.021, 95% CI: 1.002-1.041; P=0.034), TIR2 ( OR=1.024, 95% CI: 1.006-1.043; P=0.011), TIR3 ( OR=1.037, 95% CI: 1.010-1.065; P=0.008) were all independently related to HbA 1c-3m. When HbA lc-3m<6.5% was taken as the target value, the area under the ROC curve: TIR1 was 0.639 (95% CI: 0.528-0.751), TIR2 was 0.671 (95% CI: 0.560-0.782), TIR3 was 0.659 (95% CI: 0.549-0.770), respectively. When HbA lc-3m<7.0% was taken as the target value, the area under the ROC curve: TIR1 was 0. 730 (95% CI: 0.619-0.841), TIR2 was 0.744 (95% CI: 0.642-0.846), TIR3 was 0.701 (95% CI: 0.588-0.814). There was no significant difference in the area among the three statistics ( P>0.05). Conclusions:For newly-diagnosed T2DM patients, TIR after short-term treatment is negatively correlated with HbA 1c after 3 months and has good predictive value for it.

Analysis of influencing factors for early tumor recurrence and efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy in gallbladder carcinoma patients after curative-intent resection: a nationwide, multicenter clinical study / 中华消化外科杂志

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors for early tumor recurrence and the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy in gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) patients after curative-intent resection.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 506 patients with GBC in 11 medical centers, including The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University et al, from January 2016 to December 2020 were collected. There were 168 males and 338 females, aged (62±11)years. All patients underwent curative-intent resection of GBC, and they were divided into patients with and without early recurrence based on time to postoperative recurrence. Observation indicators: (1) treatment; (2) follow-up and survival of patients; (3) analysis of influencing factors for early tumor recurrence after curative-intent resection of GBC; (4) efficacy of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Univariate analysis was conducted using the corresponding statistical methods based on data type. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model with forward method. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curve and calculate survival rate, and Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Treatment. Of 506 patients, there were 112 cases with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and 394 cases without postopera-tive adjuvant chemotherapy. They underwent 5(range, 3-9)cycles of postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy. (2) Follow-up and survival of patients. All 506 patients underwent postoperative follow-up, with the follow-up time of 55(range, 34-93)months. During the follow-up, there were 248 patients with tumor recurrence, including 158 cases of early recurrence and 90 cases of late recurrence, and there were 258 patients without tumor recurrence. Of 506 patients, 275 cases survived, and 231 cases died of multiple organ failure caused by tumor recurrence and metastasis. The postoperative recurr-ence-free survival time, overall survival time were 52(range,1-93)months, 62(range, 2-93)months. The 1-, 3-, 5-year disease-free survival rates and 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rates of the 506 pati-ents were 68.8%, 53.8%, 47.9% and 78.3%, 58.7%, 51.6%, respectively. Results of survival analysis showed that the median overall survival time of 158 patients with postoperative early recurrence and 348 patients without postoperative early recurrence (including 90 cases of late recurrence and 258 cases of no tumor recurrence) were 9(range, 2-73)months and unreached, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=456.15, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of influencing factors for early tumor recurrence after curative-intent resection of GBC. Results of multivariate analysis showed that carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) >5.0 μg/L, poorly differentiated tumor, liver invasion, and tumor N staging as stage N1-N2 were independent risk factors influencing early tumor recurrence after cura-tive-intent resection of GBC ( odds ratio=2.74, 6.20, 1.81, 2.93, 4.82, 95% confidence interval as 1.62-4.64, 1.82-21.12, 1.15-3.08, 1.68-5.09, 1.91-12.18, P<0.05), while postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy was an independent protect factor ( odds ratio=0.39, 95% confidence interval as 0.21-0.71, P<0.05). (4) Efficacy of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The median overall survival time of 394 patients without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and 112 patients with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were 57(range, 2-93)months and unreached, showing a significant differ-ence between them ( χ2=9.38, P<0.05). Of the 158 patients with postoperative early recurrence after curative-intent resection of GBC, 135 cases didn't receive adjuvant chemotherapy and 23 cases received adjuvant chemotherapy, with the overall survival time of 8(range, 2-73)months and 17(range, 8-61)months, respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=7.68, P<0.05). Conclusions:CEA >5.0 μg/L, poorly differentiated tumor, liver invasion, and tumor N staging as stage N1-N2 are independent risk factors influencing early tumor recurrence after curative-intent resection of GBC, while postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is an independent protect factor. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy can prolong the overall survival time of patients with post-operative tumor early recurrence.

The speed-limiting role in the onset of antidepres-sants:the re-establishment of the excitation/inhibi-tion(E/I)function balance in the mPFC of rats / 中国药理学与毒理学杂志

OBJECTIVE There are serious hazards in depression,and the precise mechanism underlying the delayed onset of clinical antidepressants remains unclear.The purpose of this study was to investigate the regular pattern of the speed-limiting role of excitation/inhibition(E/I)function balance in the mechanism of antidepressant action.METHODS Based on the previous study,we focused on glutamatergic pyramidal neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex(mPFC)here and used its excitability to represent the establishment of a new E/I functional balance.We studied the changes in the firing activity of glutamatergic pyramidal neuron in the mPFC at different administration times for five types of antidepressants that act on different pharmacological targets and different onset times,including fluoxetine(SSRI),duloxetine(SNRI),vilazodone[serotonin 1A receptor(5-HT1A)ago-nist and SSRI],ketamine[N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA)receptor antagonist],and hypidone hydrochloride(YL-0919,new antidepressant with sigma-1 receptor ago-nist and SSRI).We first examined the initial onset time of activation of pyramidal neurons using multichannel elec-trophysiological recordings and tested the antidepressant behavioral effects using the FST.We then selected three antidepressants(fluoxetine,ketamine,and vilazodone)to explore its effects on the BDNF-mTOR pathway by West-ern blotting.In addition,we disrupted the E/I function bal-ance using chemogenetics to investigate the antidepres-sant-like effects of YL-0919 and ketamine in the FST and TST.RESULTS We found that treatment with fluoxetine for 17 days significantly increased the firing activity of pyramidal neurons and decreased the immobility duration in the FST.Similarly,it took duloxetine for 10 d,vilazodone for 4 d,YL-0919 for 3 d and ketamine for 24 h,to exert such effects.Meanwhile,Western blotting results sug-gested that the expression of BDNF and phosphorylation of mTOR in the mPFC significantly increased.How-ever,haloperidol,a classic antipsychotic(without antide-pressant effects),exerted no such effects on the firing activities of pyramidal neurons.In addition,disrupting the E/I function balance(via activating the GABA neurons and inhibiting the glutamate neurons)blocks out the antidepressant-like effects of YL-0919 and ketamine in the FST and TST.CONCLUSION Taken together,our findings suggest that the commencement of antide-pressant effects may be accompanied by the increase in the firing activity of pyramidal neurons and the activation of the BDNF-mTOR pathway,which may be a necessary and rate-limiting process.The re-establishment of the E/I balance may be a landmark event for the onset of antide-pressant effects.

Genipin alleviates vascular hyperpermeability following hemorrhagic shock by up-regulation of SIRT3/autophagy.

Genipin (GP) is commonly used to treat cardiovascular diseases; however, the protective action of GP against vascular hyperpermeability (VH) has not been reported. We previously reported that intrinsic apoptotic signaling (IAS) is involved in VH following hemorrhagic shock (HS). GP inhibits apoptosis, but the specific mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, we observed that GP protects against HS-induced VH in vitro and in vivo. We report that this protective effect is related to the inhibition of IAS by up-regulation of autophagy via sirtuin 3 (SIRT3). The endothelial cell hyperpermeability induced by HS was enhanced by GP; this was attenuated by 3-methyladenine (3MA), a specific inhibitor of autophagy, indicating the involvement of autophagy. Consistent with these results, we found that 3MA reversed the effects of GP on up-regulation of autophagy, and also diminished the protective effect of GP against IAS activation following HS. Furthermore, knockout of SIRT3 inhibited GP-induced autophagy, indicating the requirement of SIRT3 in the regulation of autophagy by GP. In rats, GP improved HS-induced VH, which was repressed by 3MA and 3-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine (3-TYP), a SIRT3 inhibitor. In conclusion, these findings suggest that autophagy plays a protective effect in VH following HS; the protective effect of autophagy is reinforced by GP, which protects against IAS and VH by up-regulating SIRT3.

Strategy of laparoscopic treatment of right posterior bile duct hepatolithiasis / 中华消化外科杂志

Hepatolithiasis is a common biliary disease in China. Surgical treatment principles of hepatolithiasis include "removing lesions, cleaning stones, correcting strictures, recovering the drainage and preventing the recurrence". Laparoscopic techniques have been increasingly applied in surgical treatment of hepatolithiasis recently. Right posterior bile duct is a predilection site of hepatolithiasis. Due to its unique anatomy, right posterior lobectomy, right posterior bile duct lithotomy and plasty remain challenging under laparoscopy. Based on relevant literatures and clinical experiences, the authors explore the strategy of laparoscopic treatment right posterior bile duct hepatolithiasis, aiming to provide reference for surgical colleagues.

Treatment of chronic ankle instability in children with ligament reinforcement and preservation of a large subfibular bone / 中华创伤骨科杂志

Objective:To investigate the effects of preserving a large subfibular bone and ligament reinforcement to treat chronic ankle instability in children.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of qualified 43 children with chronic ankle instability and a large subfibular bone (the maximum diameter greater than 8 mm) who had been treated at Children's Osteopathy Hospital, Honghui Hospital, Xi'an Jiaotong University from May 2019 to February 2022. There were 29 boys and 14 girls with an age of (9.5±1.2) years. According to treatment methods, they were divided into group A (19 cases) where the subfibular bone was excised and the ligaments were reinforced and group B (24 cases) where the subfibular bone was preserved and the ligaments were reinforced. The talar anterior displacement and talar inclination angle at preoperation and immediate postoperation, and the ankle-hindfoot score of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) at preoperation and the last follow-up were recorded in both groups to make comparisons between the 2 groups and between preoperation and postoperation. Wound healing and complications were also recorded.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (11.6±5.8) months. In all patients, the talar anterior displacement and talar inclination angle at immediate postoperation were significantly improved compared with the preoperation, and the ankle-hindfoot AOFAS score and VAS at the last follow-up also significantly improved compared with the preoperation ( P<0.05). The talar anterior displacement at immediate postoperation in group B [5.0 (4.3, 5.0) mm] was significantly shorter than that in group A [6.0 (5.0, 6.0) mm] ( P=0.013). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in the talar inclination angle at immediate postoperation, or in the ankle-hindfoot AOFAS score or VAS at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). Postoperative incision healing was good in all patients. Probably due to intraoperative pulling up of the incision, superficial peroneal nerve numbness occurred in 1 case but recovered spontaneously. The subfibula bones in group B healed within 1 year. Conclusion:For chronic ankle instability in children with a large subfibular bone, preservation of the subfibular bone and ligament reinforcement can better restore the ankle anteroposterior stability.

Psilocybin facilitates fear extinction in mice by promoting hippocampal neuroplasticity / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression are highly comorbid. Psilocybin exerts substantial therapeutic effects on depression by promoting neuroplasticity. Fear extinction is a key process in the mechanism of first-line exposure-based therapies for PTSD. We hypothesized that psilocybin would facilitate fear extinction by promoting hippocampal neuroplasticity.@*METHODS@#First, we assessed the effects of psilocybin on percentage of freezing time in an auditory cued fear conditioning (FC) and fear extinction paradigm in mice. Psilocybin was administered 30 min before extinction training. Fear extinction testing was performed on the first day; fear extinction retrieval and fear renewal were tested on the sixth and seventh days, respectively. Furthermore, we verified the effect of psilocybin on hippocampal neuroplasticity using Golgi staining for the dendritic complexity and spine density, Western blotting for the protein levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), and immunofluorescence staining for the numbers of doublecortin (DCX)- and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-positive cells.@*RESULTS@#A single dose of psilocybin (2.5 mg/kg, i.p.) reduced the increase in the percentage of freezing time induced by FC at 24 h, 6th day and 7th day after administration. In terms of structural neuroplasticity, psilocybin rescued the decrease in hippocampal dendritic complexity and spine density induced by FC; in terms of neuroplasticity related proteins, psilocybin rescued the decrease in the protein levels of hippocampal BDNF and mTOR induced by FC; in terms of neurogenesis, psilocybin rescued the decrease in the numbers of DCX- and BrdU-positive cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus induced by FC.@*CONCLUSIONS@#A single dose of psilocybin facilitated rapid and sustained fear extinction; this effect might be partially mediated by the promotion of hippocampal neuroplasticity. This study indicates that psilocybin may be a useful adjunct to exposure-based therapies for PTSD and other mental disorders characterized by failure of fear extinction.

Results of multivariate analysis showed that American Society of Anesthesiologists classification >grade Ⅱ, preoperative jaundice, T staging as T3?T4 stage, N staging as N2 stage, liver resection as right hemi-hepatectomy, and neoadjuvant therapy were independent factors influencing TOLS in patients undergoing radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma ( odds ratio=2.65, 1.87, 5.67, 5.65, 2.55, 3.34, 95% confidence interval as 1.22?5.72, 1.18?2.95, 2.51?12.82, 2.83?11.27, 1.41?4.63, 1.88?5.92, P<0.05). Conclusion:American Society of Anesthesiologists classification >grade Ⅱ, preoperative jaundice, T staging as T3?T4 stage, N staging as N2 stage, liver resection as right hemi-hepatectomy, and neoadjuvant therapy are independent factors influencing TOLS in patients undergoing radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma.

[Evaluation for vertical stability after various orthognathic surgical treatment plans for skeletal class â ¢ malocclusion with anterior open-bite].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate vertical stability after various orthognathic surgical treatment plans for skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion with anterior openbite. METHODS: A retrospective multicenter cohort study was conducted to investigate vertical stability after various orthognathic surgical treatment plans for skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion with anterior openbite. From 2010-2016, 122 patients from two domestic stomatological hospitals were included in our study. Patients were divided into four groups according to their treatment plans, namely, bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO), intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO), BSSRO+Le Fort Ⅰ, and IVRO+Le Fort Ⅰ. All patients followed a standardized examination procedure at 6 and 24 months post-treatment. The observation indexes include overbite, mandibular plane angle, and intermaxillary angle. RESULTS: 1) The significantly reduced ratio of the overbite in the BSSRO+Le Fort Ⅰ and IVRO+Le Fort Ⅰ groups were less than the BSSRO and IVRO groups at 6 and 24 months post-treatment. 2) The significantly increased ratio of the mandibular plane in BSSRO+Le Fort Ⅰ and IVRO+Le Fort Ⅰ groups were less than BSSRO and IVRO groups at 6 and 24 months post-treatment. 3) The significantly increased ratio of the intermaxillary angles in BSSRO+Le Fort Ⅰ and IVRO+Le Fort Ⅰ groups were less than the BSSRO and IVRO groups at 6 months post-treatment, while there was no statistical difference at 24 months post-treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Bimaxillary surgery (BSSRO+Le Fort Ⅰ and IVRO+Le Fort Ⅰ) is more effective than mandibular surgery to control vertical relapse.

Application progress of mesh in the environment of potential contaminated and contaminated abdominal hernia repair / 国际外科学杂志

Abdominal hernia repair is a challenging surgery with high complication rate and recurrence rate, especially in potentially contaminated or contaminated abdominal wall hernias. The application of hernia mesh has significantly reduced the recurrence rate. However, different types of meshes have their own advantages and disadvantages. There are still controversies regarding the selection of mesh in the environment of potential contaminated and contaminated abdominal hernia repair. The biological mesh, which was once considered that have anti-infection advantages and was widely used, has not been found to reduce the infection rate in recent studies, but instead leads to a higher recurrence rate and expensive medical costs. On the contrary, synthetic mesh represented by monofilament and large mesh polypropylene mesh have achieved good results in potentially contaminated or contaminated hernia repairs recently. The emergence of new types of meshes such as absorbable synthetic mesh may be a better choice for potentially contaminated or contaminated abdominal hernia repair.

Since the development of tension-free hernia repair, the choice of mesh type and fixation mode has become a problem that surgeons must consider in operation. The selection of appropriate mesh fixation mode is of great significance to the prognosis of patients. In recent years, with the development of laparoscopic technology and hernia repair materials, new mesh types and mesh fixation techniques have been popularized in clinical practice, tack fixation and suture fixation have been less used in trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair, and medical glue and self-gripping mesh have become the mainstream choice. Some scholars believe that in addition to large direct hernia, vacuum suction fixation is also a safe and effective fixation method. The best method of mesh fixation is still controversial, and the choice of intraoperative fixation methods is also to reach a unified standard. This paper reviews the advantages and disadvantages of different mesh fixation methods in trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair, as well as the selection of intraoperative fixation methods, in order to provide basis for clinicians' intraoperative selection.

[Efficacy of systemic administration of oxytocin on implant osseointegration in osteoporotic rats].

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effects of systemic administration of oxytocin (OT) in osteoporotic rats on implant osseointegration. METHODS: Twenty rats were randomly assigned to the control and experimental groups. Initially, the rats underwent bilateral ovariectomy. After 12 weeks, an osteoporosis model was established. Each rat received an implant at the distal and middle femoral metaphysis. Simultaneously, systemic administration was conducted with one group receiving subcutaneous injection of OT (1 mg·kg⁻¹ per day), whereas the other group received placebo injection. After treatment for 4 weeks, another surgery was conducted to remove the thigh bones from the rats containing the implants for an eight-week observation. With the employment of micro-CT, histological observation and push-out test, osseointegration was evaluated. While the rats received thigh-bone removal surgery, another surgery was conducted to remove the tibia metaphysis from the rats of both groups to perform histological observation and micro-CT inspection. RESULTS: The trabecular bone of tibial samples was intensive and formed woven mesh structure in the experimental group compared with the control group. In the experimental group, the relative bone volume/tissue volume surrounding the implant, the bone contact ratio, and the maximum push-out force of the implant were 0.35%±0.06%, 67.25%±9.06%, and (70.32±10.91) N, respectively, the corresponding values were 0.11%±0.02%, 43.25%±7.01% and (21.65±4.36) N in the control group, and the experimental group increased significantly compared with the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Systemic administration of OT cannot only antagonize the negative effects of osteoporosis but can also promote implant healing and osseointegration of pure titanium implants.

Challenges and tactics of laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy of segment 7 / 中华消化外科杂志

Laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy of segment 7 is recognized as one of the most difficult hepatectomies. Because of its location and anatomic characteristics, the resection of hepatic segment 7 has the difficulties of poor surgical view, instrumental accessibility, hepatic pedicle anatomy, confirmation of dividing line and secure hemostasis. When performing laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy of segment 7, the authors routinely put patient at left semi-decubitus position, set all trocars at the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, and select proper approach for hepatic pedicle anatomy according to the results of individualized preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction. The authors use to transect the liver parenchyma at the plane between hepatic segment 6 and segment 7, with the direction perpendicular to the right hepatic vein, and then finish parenchymal dissection using right hepatic vein as the intrahepatic landmark. According to the authors experiences, choosing appropriate tactics can effectively reduce the difficulty of laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy of segment 7, improve the safety and controllability of operation, and ensure the oncological radical effects.

Design and application of a multifunctional infrared wind heating medical rewarming equipment / 中华危重病急救医学

Hypothermia can have adverse effects on various systems of trauma patients, and significantly increase the mortality. All of the current rewarming equipments are contact rewarming equipment, which have the shortcomings of single function and poor effect. The medical staff of the First People's Hospital of Chenzhou designed a multi-functional infrared heating medical rewarming equipment, and obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China (ZL 2018 2 1705172.9). By integrating the infrared heating lamp tube and the air heating device and controlling them independently, the equipment can not only treat the wound by infrared alone, but also keep the wound warm by using the air heating function at low room temperature. In addition, it can also warm the patients with hypothermia separately. The device's dual functions of promoting wound healing and rewarming by infrared therapy and wind-heating are accurate. It is easy to operate with good controllability, and contributes to individualized precision treatment, which is worthy of transformation and promotion.

Progress in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic postoperative inguinal pain / 国际外科学杂志

Inguinal hernia is one of the most common diseases in general surgery. Surgery is the only treatment. In recent years, with the emergence and popularization of tension-free hernia repair, the recurrence rate has been lower than before. Chronic Postoperative Inguinal Pain (CPIP) has gradually become the focus of research. CPIP has now become one of the important efficacy indicators for inguinal hernia surgery. The etiology of CPIP is more complicated, mainly including neuropathic pain, non-neuropathic pain, somatic pain and visceral pain. Female, young, obese, low pain control, preoperative anxiety, preoperative pain, high pain sensitivity and other patient factors, and experience of the surgeon, open hernia repair, weight patch, patch fixation, surgery Surgical factors such as post-acute pain are risk factors for CPIP. CPIP is not only a product of neuropathic and nociceptive pain, but is also affected by various factors such as psychology, emotion, cognition, and genetics. Therefore, detailed medical history, physical examination, and correct pain and quality of life assessment tools are essential for the diagnosis of CPIP is very necessary. The treatment of CPIP should follow certain steps. The first choice is anticipatory treatment, drug treatment, psychological and behavioral treatment, physical therapy and other conservative treatments and interventional treatments, If the pain relief is not obvious after 6 months to 1 year by the above methods, surgical treatment is considered. So far, preventive analgesia and standardized surgery are the most important means to improve the prognosis of patients.
