β—环糊精／环氧氯丙烷水凝胶中水的存在状态及其溶胀特性

研究了β-环糊精／环氧氯丙烷水凝胶的合成工艺条件,发现该水凝胶透明性好,其干胶具有溶胀速度快的且在－40－200℃范围内不存在玻璃化转变,用DSC对β-环糊精／环氧氯丙烷水凝胶的溶胀过程及水在聚合物网络中的存在状态进行了研究,结果表明,该聚合物在溶胀过程中水首先分布于β-环糊精的外围亲水空间依次形成非冻结结结合水,可阈结结合水及游离水、其后水分布于β-环糊精内腔空间,当达到溶胀平均后,β-环糊精的内外空间都分布有水。

A comprehensive reconstruction strategy for moderate to severe faciocervical scar contractures

The focus of treatment of faciocervical scar contractures includes cervical reconstruction and elimination of hypertrophic scars. Unfortunately, most previous studies have neglected the esthetic appearance of scars. In this study, we tried to combine surgical therapy and ultrapulse fractional CO₂ laser (UFCL) to eliminate facial scars while restoring neck reconstruction and to establish the optimal conventional management for faciocervical contracture. Thirty-eight individuals were enrolled and divided into two groups. After received cervical release surgeries, comprehensive UFCL therapy group received treatment of UFCL at 3-month intervals, silicone sheets, and pressure garments, while another group only received treatment of silicone sheeting and compression. Twelve months after the termination of therapy, faciocervical scars of both two groups were assessed by two uninvolved physicians according to the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), and patients’ satisfaction survey was also recorded by the study participants using a patient four-point satisfaction scale. Thirty-six patients completed the treatment and follow-up. The results show that the VSS scores of both two groups decreased after 12 months, but comprehensive UFCL therapy group dropped more significantly than the conventional treatment group at follow-up session, which was statistically significant (P?<?0.001), and the patient satisfaction was higher than that of the conventional treatment group. This comprehensive treatment combined of surgery, UFCL, silicone sheets, and pressure garments works as an effective and esthetic reconstruction for moderate to severe postburn faciocervical scar contractures.

     

Smoking Alters Inflammation and Skeletal Stem and Progenitor Cell Activity During Fracture Healing in Different Murine Strains

Smokers are at a higher risk of delayed union or nonunion after fracture repair. Few specific interventions are available for prevention because the molecular mechanisms that result in these negative sequelae are poorly understood. Murine models that mimic fracture healing in smokers are crucial in further understanding the local cellular and molecular alterations during fracture healing caused by smoking. We exposed three murine strains, C57BL/6J, 129X1/SvJ, and BALB/cJ, to cigarette smoke for 3 months before the induction of a midshaft transverse femoral osteotomy. We evaluated fracture healing 4 weeks after the osteotomy using radiography, micro-computed tomography (μCT), and biomechanical testing. Radiographic analysis demonstrated a significant decrease in the fracture healing capacity of smoking 129X1/SvJ mice. μCT results showed delayed remodeling of fracture calluses in all three strains after cigarette smoke exposure. Biomechanical testing indicated the most significant impairment in the functional properties of 129X1/SvJ in comparison with C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ mice after cigarette smoke exposure. Thus, the 129X1/SvJ strain is most suitable in simulating smoking-induced impaired fracture healing. Furthermore, in smoking 129X1/SvJ murine models, we investigated the molecular and cellular alterations in fracture healing caused by cigarette smoking using histology, flow cytometry, and multiplex cytokine/chemokine analysis. Histological analysis showed impaired chondrogenesis in cigarette smoking. In addition, the important reparative cell populations, including skeletal stem cells and their downstream progenitors, demonstrated decreased expansion after injury as a result of cigarette smoking. Moreover, significantly increased pro-inflammatory mediators and the recruitment of immune cells in fracture hematomas were demonstrated in smoking mice. Collectively, our findings demonstrate the significant cellular and molecular alterations during fracture healing impaired by smoking, including disrupted chondrogenesis, aberrant skeletal stem and progenitor cell activity, and a pronounced initial inflammatory response. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).     

Protective effect of pinocembrin from Penthorum chinense Pursh on hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury via regulating HMGB1/TLR4 signal pathway

Hepatic ischemia–reperfusion injury (HIRI) is of common occurrence during liver surgery and transplantation. Pinocembrin (PIN) is a kind of flavonoid monomer extracted from the local traditional Chinese medicine Penthorum chinense Pursh (P. chinense). However, the effect of PIN on HIRI has not determined. We investigated the protective effect and potential mechanism of PIN against HIRI. Model mice were subjected to partial liver ischemia for 60 min, experimental mice were pretreated with PIN orally for 7 days, and H₂O₂-induced oxidative damage model in AML12 hepatic cells was established in vitro. Histopathologic analysis and serum biochemical levels revealed that PIN had hepatoprotective activities against HIRI. The variation of GSH, SOD, MDA, and ROS levels indicated that PIN treatments attenuated oxidative stress in tissue. PIN pretreatment obviously ameliorated apoptosis, and restrained the expression of HMGB1 and TLR4 in vivo. In vitro, compared with H₂O₂ group, the contents of ROS, mitochondrial membrane potential, apoptotic cells, and Bcl-2 protein were decreased, while the Bax protein expression was increased. Moreover, HMGB-1 small interfering RNA test and western blotting showed that PIN pretreatment reduced HMGB1 and TLR4 protein levels. In conclusion, PIN pretreatment effectively protected hepatocytes from HIRI and inhibited the HMGB1/TLR4 signaling pathway.     

经口入路机器人甲状腺手术的研究进展

近年来,甲状腺疾病的发病率逐年上升,其中青年女性患者占较大比例.随着年轻患者对美容的要求提高,多种入路的内镜甲状腺手术已广泛成功开展.这些术式尽管避免了在颈部做切口,并取得了较好的美容效果,但不可避免地在其他部位留下切口瘢痕.经口入路手术被认为是真正无痕的手术,具有更好的美容效果,随着近年来达芬奇手术系统的不断完善,经口入路机器人甲状腺手术也取得较大发展.与其他术式相比,经口入路机器人甲状腺手术具有多种优势,如提供中线入路、最低程度地减少组织损伤、3D高清放大视野、手臂震颤过滤及7个自由度Endo-wrist等.因此,本综述对近年来经口机器人甲状腺手术的研究进展进行总结,为临床甲状腺疾病的治疗提供学习借鉴.     

电阻抗断层成像技术用于呼气末正压滴定的研究进展

适当的呼气末正压（PEEP）是保护性肺通气策略的重要组成部分,PEEP可以保持肺泡开放,减少肺萎陷伤。尽管个体化PEEP已被越来越多的临床医师认可,但最佳的PEEP滴定方法尚存争议。电阻抗断层成像（EIT）是一种无创、无辐射的成像技术,可在床边实时动态评估肺功能,将肺通气过程中的阻抗变化以动态图像呈现,能够反映PEEP调整前后肺内通气及气体分布变化,因此,EIT可用于滴定个体化PEEP。本文简要概括EIT的基本原理及监测指标,阐述临床应用EIT指导下的PEEP（PEEPEIT）滴定方法,旨在加强对EIT的优点和局限性的理解,为优化个体化PEEP的设置提供参考。
