主动脉出口血压对左心室血流特性的影响

采用Mimics对心脏进行三维重构，用3-matic进行模型优化以及模型误差分析，对左心室室壁运动做速度分布假设，基于UDF宏文件对左心室室壁运动编写程序，将血液视为非牛顿流体，采用动网格技术研究不同血压对左心室血液流动的影响。模拟发现当左心室收缩时，压力梯度明显，内部压力减小。当左心室舒张时，内部压力逐渐增高。二尖瓣口处的速率先增大后减小。血压升高，左心室内剪切应力持续增大，极易破坏红细胞结构，产生溶血现象，导致心脏功能紊乱。     

Effect and Safety of Tongyan Spray (通咽喷雾剂) on Hyoid Motion in Patients with Dysphagia after Ischemic Stroke

Objective: To observe the effects and safety of Tongyan Spray (通咽喷雾剂) on the range and time of hyoid motion in patients with ischemic post-stroke dysphagia. Methods: Seventy-two patients with ischemic post-stroke dysphagia were selected and randomly assigned to a treatment group (36 cases) and a control group (36 cases) by a random number table from January 2013 to October 2014. All patients swallowed 4 kinds of barium meals with different traits respectively, and each patient underwent video fluoroscopy (VF) examination twice. In the treatment group, Tongyan Spray was sprayed to the pharynx on both sides and the middle part once respectively. The spray was applied 30 min before the second examination. Purified water at room temperature was used as placebo in the control group. The changes in the range and time of hyoid motion in both groups were observed before and after treatment. Results: Six patients dropped out in each group, and 60 patients completed the study and were included in the final analysis. Significant improvement was observed in the range of superior hyoid excursion distance and the time of hyoid motion in the treatment group compared with the control group (P<0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions observed in oral mucosa in both groups during the whole study. Conclusion: Tongyan Spray was an effective and safe medicine for improving swallowing function in patients with ischemic post-stroke dysphagia.     

血清淀粉样蛋白A联合神经元特异性烯醇化酶对脑出血的诊断价值

目的探讨血清淀粉样蛋白A(serum amyloid A,SAA)联合神经元特异性烯醇化酶(neuron-specific enolase,NSE)对诊断脑出血的临床价值。方法选取2018-03—2020-03郑州大学第二附属医院80例脑出血患者为观察组,其中轻度组40例,重度组40例;另外选取同期40例健康体检者为对照组。应用ROC曲线对血清淀粉样蛋白A联合NSE检测对脑出血的诊断价值进行分析。结果重度组血清中SAA、NSE水平均高于轻度组和对照组(P<0.05);联合检测的灵敏度、特异度高于SAA或NSE单独检测。结论SAA联合NSE对脑出血患者的早期诊断、临床干预具有重要意义。     

Huayu Pill (化瘀丸) Promotes Fluorescent Doxorubicin Delivery to Tumors in Mouse Model of Lung Cancer

Objective: To study the effect and mechanism of Huayu Wan (化瘀丸, HYW) in combination of chemotherapy of tumor treatment. Methods: HYW serum was added in Lewis cells to assess its impact on fluorescent doxorubicin delivery in vitro. Then, Lewis tumor cells was implanted in C57BL/6 mice via xenograft transplantation. Tumor growth was measured and signal intensity corresponding to blood flow was assessed by laser doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI). Finally, the effect of HYW on the efficacy of doxorubicin was studied. Results: HYW can improve the transfer of fluorescent doxorubicin into cells. The blood flow signal in the tumor tissues of the HYW group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.01). Furthermore, HYW improved drug delivery of doxorubicin to tumor tissues, and this activity was associated with HYW-induced microvascular proliferation (P<0.01). Conclusions: HYW can promote microangiogenesis and increase blood supply in tumor tissues, which in turn may increase the risk of metastasis. At the same time, HYW increases drug delivery and improves the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs through vascular proliferation. Therefore, rational judgment must be exercised when considering applying HYW to an antitumor regimen.     

牙龈间充质干细胞递送支架载体的研究进展

组织工程技术通过利用支架材料、种子细胞、生长因子以达到修复或再生组织器官的目的。支架材料的作用是为种子细胞提供机械支撑并且保护细胞免受体内有害微环境的影响。因此,选择或制备适当的支架材料是组织工程中的关键一步。近年来,将支架材料和牙龈间充质干细胞(gingival mesenchymal stem cells,GMSCs)联合应用于组织工程的研究逐渐走向成熟。本文就组织工程中牙龈间充质干细胞递送支架载体的研究现状进行综述,以期为GMSCs组织工程递送支架载体材料的开发和选择提供思路。     

Transarterial chemoembolization <i>vs.</i> liver resection as initial treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma occurring exclusively in caudate lobe: A retrospective propensity matching analysis

Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the caudate lobe is technically challenging. This retrospective study was designed to evaluate the clinical outcome of both superselective transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and liver resection (LR) for HCC occurring exclusively in the caudate lobe. From January 2008 to September 2021, a total of 129 patients were diagnosed with HCC of the caudate lobe. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze the potential clinical factors and established prognostic nomograms with interval validation. Of the total number of patients, 78 received TACE and 51 received LR. The overall survival (OS) rates (TACE vs. LR) at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years were 83.9% vs. 71.0%; 74.2% vs. 61.3%; 58.1% vs. 48.4%; 45.2% vs. 45.2%; and 32.3% vs. 25.0%, respectively. However, subgroup analysis revealed that TACE was superior to LR for treating patients with stage IIb Chinese liver cancer (CNLC-IIb) in the entire cohort (p = 0.002). Interestingly, no difference was found between TACE and LR in the treatment outcomes of CNLC-IIa HCC (p = 0.6). Based on Child-Pugh A and B calculations, TACE tended to lead to a better OS than LR (p = 0.081 and 0.16, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that Child-Pugh score, CNLC stage, ascites, alpha fetoprotein (AFP), tumor size, and anti-HCV are related to OS. Predictive nomograms for 1, 2, and 3 years were performed. Based on this study, TACE may provide a longer OS than liver resection for patients with CNLC-IIb HCC of the caudate lobe. Because this suggestion is limited by the study design and relatively small sample size, additional randomized controlled trials are needed.
