ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the molecular mechanism of lncRNA HOTAIR regulating miR-206 on the proliferation and apoptosis of rheumatoid arthritis synovial cells. METHODS: The synovial tissue from 30 cases of rheumatoid arthritis were collected. Rheumatoid arthritis synovial cells MH7A were cultured. The experiment was divided into si-NC group, si-HOTAIR group, miR-NC group, miR-206 mimic group, si-HOTAIR+NC inhibitor group, si-HOTAIR+miR-206 inhibitor group. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of HOTAIR and miR-206 in cells. CCK-8 method to detect cell proliferation; flow cytometry to detect cell apoptosis; Western blot to detect cell protein expression of CyclinD1, p21, Bax and Bcl-2; dual luciferase reporter assay to detect HOTAIR and miR-206 targets To combination relationship. RESULTS: Compared with the healthy control group, the expression level of HOTAIR in patients with rheumatoid arthritis was significantly up-regulated, and the expression level of miR-206 was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05). Compared with the si-NC group, the HOTAIR expression level in the si-HOTAIR group was significantly down-regulated, the cell survival rate were significantly down-regulated, and the apoptosis rate were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05). Compared with the miR-NC group, the expression level of miR-206 in the miR-206 mimic group was significantly up-regulated, the cell survival rate were significantly down-regulated, and the apoptosis rate were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05). Compared with the si-HOTAIR + NC inhibitor group, the cell survival rate in the si-HOTAIR+ miR-206 inhibitor group were significantly up-regulated, and the apoptosis rate were significantly decrease (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Inhibiting the expression of HOTAIR and up-regulating the expression of miR-206 can reduce the proliferation of rheumatoid arthritis synovial cells and promote apoptosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the application and clinical efficacy of an innervated arterialised venous flap of the first dorsal metacarpal in reconstruction of thumb and finger pulp defects.Methods:From December 2021 to August 2022, 17 patients received surgery for reconstruction of thumb and finger pulp defects in the Department of Hand Surgery of Sichuan Modern Hospital. All were carried out in emergency surgery. The affected digits included: 3 thumbs, 4 index fingers, 6 middle fingers, 1 ring finger and 3 little fingers. After emergency debridement, a flap of the first dorsal metacarpal carrying superficial radial nerve and arterialised vein was taken for reconstruction of the defect. Donor site of the flap was directly closed with sutures. The survival and functional recovery of the digits and flaps were evaluated through postoperative follow-ups via outpatient visit and telephone and WeChat interviews.Results:Seven flaps developed blisters after surgery, which gradually subsided and healed after dressing change. The rest of 10 flaps survived smoothly, without any vascular compromise. All of the 17 patients(17 digits) had postoperative follow-up for 3-15 months, with 8 months in average. Appearance of thumb and finger pulps were good, with sensation restored to S 1-S 3+, according to the sensory function evaluation criteria of the British Medical Research Council(BMRC). According to Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, all 17 patientswere in excellent of total active movement(TAM). Conclusion:Innervated arterialised venous flap of the first dorsal metacarpal is reliable in reconstruction of the defects of digit pulps with good function and appearance. The flap is easy to take and with a satisfactory recovery of sensation.
ABSTRACT
Microneedles have been developed rapidly in the field of transdermal administration in the past few decades. In recent years, the development of microelectronics technology has expanded the applications of microneedles by combining with microelectronic systems, especially in biological diagnosis and treatment. Different types of microneedles have been designed to extract blood and tissue fluids for detection, or as electrodes to directly detect blood sugar, melanoma and pH in real-time in vivo, both show good prospects for real-time detection applications. In this paper, we review the design of materials and structure of microelectronic-based microneedles, and discuss their advances in biological diagnosis.

Objective To design a quantitative criterion and grading system for injury from adverse drug reaction (ADR) in order to serve the compensation system of injury from ADR. Methods Based on the other grading system of injury cases, the independent scores and serial grades were given to the ADR injury of different organs or different levels through two turns of consultation to 27 experts from Shanghai. Results Injury from ADR was graded from stage 1 to stage 10 according to the damage degree, with 1 stand for death and 10 for slightest injury. Conclusion The grading method of ADR based on the characteristics of injury accords with the condition of China, and can provide reference for making up the compensation system of ADR injury.

ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of Buqi Huoxue Decoction on levels of ?-AP,TGF-? and IGF-Ⅱ in rats of multi-factor AD model and investigate the mechanism of treating AD with Buqi Huoxue Decoction. Method Multi-factor AD Model was established with D-galactose and SCOP by abdominal injection,AlCl3 by perfusion and QA by hippocampus injection. All rats were randomly divided into five groups:A (control group),B (pseudo injuried group),C (model group),D (Buqi Huoxue Decoction group) and E (hydergine group). Group D was treated by Buqi Huoxue Decoction and group E was treated by hydergine. ?-AP,TGF-? and IGF-Ⅱ level in the blood of AD model were detected by radio-immuno-assay after treatment course. Results ?-AP,TGF-? and IGF-Ⅱ level in the blood of group D and E were decreased significantly compared with group C after treatment. Conclusion Buqi Huoxue Decoction could decrease the high level of ?-AP,TGF-? and IGF-II in the blood of multi-factor AD model,so as to achieve the therapeutic effect.

ABSTRACT
Objective:Both URL and MPCNL have been widely applied in the treatment of ureteral calculi.In this study,the safety,efficiency and degree of injury were compared between retrograde and antegrade access ureterolithotripsy for the calculi complicated with infection,in order to clarify the indications of the two types of minimally invasive techniques.Methods:A total of 192 patients with upper ureteral calculi complicated with infection were treated with ureterolithotripsy.The operation was performed via retrograde transurethral access in 72 patients and via antegrade percutaneous nephrostomy tract in 120 patients.Results:The success rate of retrograde approach was 93.1%.Mean operating time was 45.9?16.5min(20-90 min) with mean hospital stay of 5.1?1.8(2-6) days.The stone free rate was 84.7%(61/72) at 1 month follow-up.5 patients with residual calculi required combined ESWL.Complications were noted in 5.6%,CRP was 10.59?5.12 mg/L before operation,and was 38.63?4.61 mg/L 24h after the operation.The success rate of antegrade approach was 99.2%.Mean operating time was 62.4?17.6 min(40-120 min) with mean hospital stay of 8.57?2.57(5-15) days.The stone free rate was 100% and 1 complication was noted(0.01%).CRP was 11.29?5.38 mg/L before the operation,34.93?7.82 mg/L 24h after the operation.For the success rate and stone free rate,antegrade approach was higher than retrograde approach(P0.05)between the two groups before operation,but antegrade approach had lower CRP(P

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate clinical effects of the transurethral ureteroscopic lithotripsy(URL) and minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy(MPCNL) in the management of upper ureteral stones.Methods Clinical data of 258 patients diagnosed as having upper ureteral calculi from January 2001 to December 2004 in this hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were given either URL(225 patients) or MPCNL(33 patients).Results Of the URL,the stone-free rate on one session was 73.8%(166/225) and the failure rate was 26.2%(59/225).The causes for the failure included stone movement to the renal pelvic in 42 patients(18.7%,42/225),unsuccessful manipulation in 14 patients(6.2%,14/225),and conversions to open surgery because of ureteral perforation in 1 patient and ureteral rupture in 2 patients(1.3%,3/225).Of the MPCNL,the stone-free rate on one session was 100%(33/33).Conclusions The application of URL can be interfered with ureteral stricture and twist that are secondary to incarcerated ureteral stones.High stone-free rate,low incidence of complications,and satisfactory reliability can be expected using MPCNL,especially in patients with impacted ureteral calculi accompanied with secondary affection at the same side.
