miR-21对骨质疏松小鼠骨髓基质细胞增殖的影响

目的探讨miR-21对骨质疏松小鼠骨髓基质细胞(BMSCs)增殖的影响。方法采用双侧卵巢切除法构建骨质疏松小鼠模型(VOX),分离、培养、纯化小鼠BMSCs并采用si PORT Neo FX转染pre-miR-21、pre-miR-negative control(pre-miR-NC)、antmiR-21、ant-miR-negative control(ant-miR-NC)并进行RT-PCR验证,MTT法检测小鼠BMSCs增殖情况、茜素红与碱性磷酸酶染色法检测小鼠BMSCs成骨能力、Western-blotting检测细胞增殖、成骨分化相关蛋白水平。结果骨质疏松症小鼠BMSCs中miR-21相对表达水平低于Ctrl组(P0.05),OVX-pre-miR-21组BMSCs中miR-21相对表达水平、细胞增殖、PCNA水平、Ki-67水平、ALP染色程度、ALP活性、茜素红染色程度、Runx2水平、Osterix水平均高于OVX-pre-miR-NC组(P0.05),OVX-premiR-NC组BMSCs中miR-21相对表达水平、细胞增殖、PCNA水平、Ki-67水平、ALP染色程度、ALP活性、茜素红染色程度、Runx2水平、Osterix水平均显著低于Ctrl-pre-miR-NC(P0.05); OVX-ant-miR-21组BMSCs中miR-21相对表达水平、细胞增殖、PCNA水平、Ki-67水平、ALP染色程度、ALP活性、茜素红染色程度、Runx2水平、Osterix水平均显著低于OVX-ant-miR-NC组(P0.05),OVX-ant-miR-NC组BMSCs中miR-21相对表达水平、细胞增殖、PCNA水平、Ki-67水平、ALP染色程度、ALP活性、茜素红染色程度、Runx2水平、Osterix水平均显著低于Ctrl-ant-miR-NC(P0.05)。结论提高miR-21表达水平可促进骨质疏松小鼠BMSCs增殖能力与成骨分化能力。     

Effects of platelet‐rich plasma on the healing of sternal wounds: A meta‐analysis

Sternal wound infection (SWI) is a devastating complication after cardiac surgery. Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) may have a positive impact on sternal wound healing. A systematic review with meta‐analyses was performed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of topical application of autologous PRP for preventing SWI and promoting sternal wound healing compared to placebo or standard treatment without PRP. Relevant studies published in English or Chinese were retrieved from the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (The Cochrane Library), PubMed, Ovid EMBASE, Web of Science, Springer Link, and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) using the search terms “platelet‐rich plasma” and “sternal wound” or “thoracic incision.” References identified through the electronic search were screened, the data were extracted, and the methodological quality of the included studies was assessed. The meta‐analysis was performed for the following outcomes: incidence of SWI, incidence of deep sternal wound infection (DSWI), postoperative blood loss (PBL), and other risk factors. In the systematic review, totally 10 comparable studies were identified, involving 7879 patients. The meta‐analysis for the subgroup of retrospective cohort studies (RSCs) showed that the incidence of SWI and DSWI in patients treated with PRP was significantly lower than that in patients without PRP treatment. However, for the subgroup of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), there was no significant difference in the incidence of SWI or DSWI after intervention between the PRP and control groups. There was no significant difference in PBL in both RCTs and RSCs subgroups. Neither adverse reactions nor in‐situ recurrences were reported. According to the results, PRP could be considered as a candidate treatment to prevent SWI and DSWI. However, the quality of the evidence is too weak, and high‐quality RCTs are needed to assess its efficacy on preventing SWI and DSWI.

Treatment of spinal cord compression caused by C2 osteochondroma with reconstruction and fusion after total resection: Case report and literature review

Context: Osteochondroma is the most common benign tumor of the bone, but spinal osteochondroma is rare. We report a case of cervical osteochondroma in multiple exostoses arising from the lamina of the C2 vertebra, presenting with features of compressive myelopathy in a 22-year-old male. Total resection of the tumor and atlantoaxial fixation and fusion after reconstruction of the C1 posterior arch were performed.Findings: The patient recovered significantly. He was asymptomatic and no sign of recurrence was observed after one-year follow-up.Conclusions: Osteochondroma should be considered as a rare cause of spinal cord compression. Entire removal of the tumor will result in complete decompression and can reduce the risk of recurrence. We provide a new approach to reconstruct after resection.

进展期低位直肠癌新辅助放化疗后侧方淋巴结清扫的选择和意义

侧方淋巴引流是低位直肠癌3个重要的淋巴引流方向之一。沿引流途径清扫淋巴结是直肠癌根治术基本要求,也决定淋巴结清扫范围。但侧方淋巴结是区域淋巴结还是远处淋巴结,一直存在争议。这带来新辅助放化疗和侧方淋巴结清扫、以及新辅助放化疗对侧方淋巴结转移疗效的争议。笔者综合分析国内外研究进展,对直肠癌侧方淋巴结转移规律、影响侧方淋巴结转移复发危险因素以及放化疗前后MRI检查对侧方淋巴结评估等进行深入阐述,并结合临床实践,探讨进展期低位直肠癌新辅助放化疗后侧方淋巴结清扫的选择和意义。
