OBJECTIVE@#To investigate short-term effectiveness of arthroscopic repair via modified subacromial viewing portal (hereinafter referred to as modified viewing portal) in treatment of LafosseⅠsubscapularis tendon tears.@*METHODS@#A clinical data of 52 patients with LafosseⅠsubscapularis tendon tears, who underwent the arthroscopic repair via modified viewing portal between October 2020 and November 2022 and met the selective criteria, was retrospectively analyzed. There were 15 males and 37 females with an average age of 63.4 years (range, 41-76 years). Twelve patients had trauma history and the other 40 patients had no obvious inducement. The main clinical symptom was shoulder pain and the hug resistance tests were positive in all patients. The interval between symptom onset and admission ranged from 3 to 26 months (mean, 7.2 months). The shoulder pain and function were evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score before operation and at 12 months after operation. The shoulder range of motion (ROM) of forward flexion, abduction, and external rotation and the internal rotation strength were measured before operation and at 3 and 12 months after operation. MRI was performed at 3-6 months after operation to assess the tendon healing and the structural integrity and tension of reattached tendon. Patient's satisfactions were calculated at last follow-up.@*RESULTS@#All incisions healed by first intention, no complication such as incision infection or nerve injury occurred. All patients were followed up 12-37 months (mean, 18.5 months). The VAS, UCLA, and ASES scores at 12 months after operation significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). The ROMs of abduction and forward flexion and the internal rotation strength at 3 and 12 months significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05); and the ROMs at 12 months significantly improved compared to that at 3 months ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference ( P>0.05) in the ROM of external rotation at 3 months compared to that before operation; but the ROM at 12 months significantly improved compared to that before operation and at 3 months after operation ( P<0.05). Thirty-one patients underwent MRI at 3-6 months, of which 28 patients possessed intact structural integrity, good tendon tension and tendon healing; 3 patients underwent tendon re-tear. At last follow-up, 41 patients (78.8%) were very satisfied with the effectiveness, 7 were satisfied (13.5%), and 4 were dissatisfied (7.7%).@*CONCLUSION@#Arthroscopic repair via modified viewing portal for Lafosse Ⅰsubscapularis tendon tears, which can achieve the satisfactory visualization and working space, can obtain good short-term effectiveness with low overall re-tear risk.

Esculetin protects against early sepsis via attenuating inflammation by inhibiting NF-κB and STAT1/STAT3 signaling / 中国天然药物

Esculetin, a natural derivative from the traditional and widely-used Chinese medicinal herb Cortex Fraxini, has a variety of pharmacological effects, especially in anti-inflammation. However, it is not clear whether esculetin has a therapeutic effect on sepsis. This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory and protective effects of esculetin on early sepsis. The results showed that the lung injury was significantly relieved with the treatment of esculetin, accompanied with the restrained production of inflammatory factors including IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, CCL2 and iNOS during the early phase of E.coli-induced sepsis. Of note, activation of NF-κB and STAT1/STAT3 signals, the main upstream signals of many inflammatory factors, were attenuated by esculetin in both lung tissues from septic mice and LPS-stimulated macrophage. These findings suggested that the protection of esculetin against early sepsis should be related to its anti-inflammatory effect, which was at least partly due to its inhibition on NF-κB and STAT1/STAT3 signaling pathway in macrophage. Thus, esculetin could serve as a potential therapeutic agent by rebalancing innate immune response in macrophage for the treatment of early sepsis.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography characteristics of liver metastasis correlation with different pathological type of lung cancer / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective:To provide objective basis for the diagnosis on liver metastasis from lung cancer by analysing contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS) characteristics.Methods:In a reprospective study, CEUS was performed in 78 cases with liver metastasis from lung cancer in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2014 to March 2019. Patients were divided into three groups: the adenocarcinoma group( n=30), squamous cell carcinoma group ( n=20), and neuroendocrine neoplasm group( n=28). Conventional ultrasound and CEUS features were analyzed and the distinctions among the three groups were compared. Results:CEUS showed that 85.9%(67/78) of the liver metastasis from lung cancer with pattern of rapid wash-in and 89.7%(70/78) of rapid wash-out, so there was no statistical difference among the three groups( P>0.05). In the adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma group, 53.3%(16/30) and 55.0%(11/20) of cases were rim-like enhancement. And 71.4%(20/28) of the neuroendocrine neoplasm group with global enhancement that was different from the other groups(all P<0.05). At the peak of enhancement, most cases were hyperenhancement among the three groups, and the difference was not statistically significant( P>0.05). During the lesions of hyperenhancement, 73.7%(14/19) was global enhancement in the neuroendocrine neoplasm, compared to 75.0% (12/16) of the adenocarcinoma group and 72.7%(8/11) of the squamous cancer group with rim-like enhancement, which the differences was statistically significant(all P<0.05). At the peak of enhancement, 67.9%(19/28) lesions of the neuroendocrine neoplasm group were homogeneous enhancement, and only 21.4%(6/28) of the lesions was observed non-enhanced area, which was different from the other groups(all P<0.05). The times to iso-echogenity and hypo-echogenity were (33.2±7.6)s and (45.1±10.8)s respectively in the neuroendocrine neoplasm group, which were more than the other groups(all P<0.05). Capsule enhancement appeared in 32.1%(9/28) of the neuroendocrine neoplasm group in the delay phase, which was higher than 13.3%(4/30) of the adenocarcinoma group and 10.0%(2/20) of squamous cell carcinoma group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:CEUS can provide more diagnostic information for liver metastasis from lung cancer and may be a beneficial technique for differential diagnosis.

Professor WANG Xing-kuan holds the idea that chronic nervous tinnitus is mainly due to this cause:when the body is lack of zheng-qi (positive qi), the wind-evil finds the cracks and enters healthy body, which may affect Qingqiao, and then the wind-evil will get into Qingqiao and result in tinnitus. The syndrome is further differentiated into the following types: kidney deficiency, insufficiency of brain, deficiency of heart and liver blood, meridian emptiness, deficiency of spleen qi, descending of yang qi; blood stasis and phlegm-fire accumulation. In treatment, Professor WANG is good at treating one or two viscera based on diagnosis and treatment through syndrome differentiation, taking into account of the regulation of other internal organs, namely, method for regulating multiple organs. In addition, Professor WANG advocates the academic view of "treating diseases by regulating the liver", never forgetting the catharsis of liver wood.

Effects of Flavonoids of Rhizoma Drynariae on Formation of Blood Vessels in Induced Membrane by Masquelet Technique / 广州中医药大学学报

Objective To explore the effects of flavonoids of Rhizoma Drynariae on the formation of blood vessels in the induced membrane by Masquelet technique. Methods Seventy-two SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups,namely model group,and high-,middle-and low-dose drug groups,18 rats in each group. Rat model of critical- sized femoral defect was built,and then polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)bone cement spacer was inserted into the bone defect to induce the formation of membrane. From the first day after surgery , the rats in high-,middle-and low-dose drug groups were given gastric gavage of 0.44,0.22,0.11 g·kg-1·d-1 of Rhizoma Drynariae flavonoids, respectively, and the rats in the model group were given the same volume of normal saline. After 6-week medication,the pathologic features of bone cement- induced membrane were observed by Haematoxilin-Eosin(HE)staining,the contents of transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1 and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)proteins in the induced membrane were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and the mRNA levels of TGF-β1 and VEGF in the induced membrane were determined by real-time reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Results More blood vessels in the induced membrane of the high-dose group were found than those of the other groups under the light microscope. The protein and mRNA expression levels of TGF-β1 and VEGF in the induced membrane of the 3 drug groups were much higher than those of the model group(P < 0.05). Except for the VEGF mRNA expression level, the changes of other indexes were dose-dependent. Conclusion Flavonoids of Rhizoma Drynariae are effective on enhancing the protein and mRNA expression levels of TGF-β1 and VEGF in the induced membrane, and can accelerate the vascularization,which promotes the reconstruction of bone defect.

Effect of social psychological factors on the mental health among enterprise workers using structural equation modeling / 中国职业医学

OBJECTIVE: Structural equation modeling was used to explore the relationship between mental health and social psychological factors. METHODS: Using multi-stage sampling method,1 200 first-line production workers working in enterprises were chosen as study subjects. Chinese version of the WHO-5 well-being Index,and Social Psychological Factors Questionnaire(a self-designed questionnaire based on job demands control model) were used to investigate the mental health and social psychological factors. The structural equation modeling of social psychological factors on mental health was constructed. RESULTS: Among the 1 200 workers,about 34. 8% workers had poor psychological well-being(the score of the WHO-5 well-being Index is equal or less than 13). Job demands and job autonomy were available and have direct effect on work-related pressure [standardized path coefficient(β) were 0. 162 and-0. 186,P < 0. 05]. Job demands,job autonomy and work-related pressure were available have direct effect on mental health(β were-0. 136,0. 235 and-0. 135,P < 0. 05). Job demands can have an indirect effect on mental health through work-related pressure(β =-0. 022,P < 0. 05),and job autonomy can have an indirect effect on mental health through work-related pressure(β = 0. 025,P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: The results of mental health and social psychological factors are consistent with the job demand control model. Job demands and work-related pressure are risk factors and job autonomy is a protective factor for mental health. Mental health intervention should be taken according to the related factors.

Expression of USP10 in colorectal adenocarcinoma and analysis of bioinformatics / 临床与实验病理学杂志

Purpose To investigate the expression and significance of USP10 protein and mRNA in normal colorectal mucosa and colorectal adenocarcinoma,and to analyze the cause of the disorder.Methods 99 cases of colorectal adenocarcinoma and 83 cases of normal intestinal mucosa tissue were selected.Using tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry the expression of USP10 protein was detected,and the relationship was analyzed between USP10 protein and clinical pathological parameters or prognosis survival time.The expression of USP10 mRNA was analyzed by GEO datesets.Some miRNAs that down-regulate the expression of USP10 protein were screened by bioinformatics methods.The expression of USP10 protein and miR-149 in colorectal cancer cell lines were detected by Western blot and real-time quantitative PCR.Results The positive rate of USP10 protein in normal intestinal mucosa tissues was 71.08％(59/83),which was significantly higher than that in colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues (53.54％,53/99,P =0.015).No correlation were proved between USP10 protein expression and clinical pathological parameters or survival time (P ＞ 0.05).The expression level of USP10 mRNA in colorectal adenocarcinoma was 1.07 ～ 1.45 times that were higher than that of normal intestinal mucosa,which showed that the down-regulation of USP10 protein was at the post-transcriptional level.The program predicted a putative highly-conserved binding site in the USP10 mRNA 3'UTR for miR-149 which was up regulated in colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues.In addition,the expression of miR-149 was negatively correlated with the expression of USP10 protein in colorectal cancer cell lines.Conclusion The down-regulation of USP10 protein which occurs at the post-transcriptional level is closely related to the pathogenesis of colorectal adenocarcinoma.The high expression of miR-149 may be one of the factors that negatively regulate the expression of USP10 protein.
