中国仓鼠肺成纤维细胞和HeLa细胞DNA氧化损伤的自身修复能力与比较

目的:研究不同氧化相关因素对中国仓鼠肺成纤维细胞(CHL)和HeLa细胞DNA损伤的自身修复情况.方法:将CHL细胞和HeLa细胞用不同氧化相关因素处理一定时间[CHL细胞:过氧化氢(H2O2)25 min,重铬酸钾(K2Cr2O7)105 min,阿霉素(Dox)75 min;HeLa细胞:H2O2 25 min,K2Cr2O7 105 min],随后立即去毒培养0、0.5、1、2、3 h,以碱性单细胞凝胶电泳技术检测DNA链断裂情况.结果:①CHL细胞经H2O2、K2Cr2O7、Dox作用后引起DNA链断裂,去毒培养1 h链断裂修复明显(P<0.01);去毒培养2～3 h,前两毒剂的损伤组完全修复,而Dox组链断裂仍高于未损伤组;②HeLa细胞经H2O2、K2Cr2O7作用后引起DNA链断裂,去毒培养0.5 h链断裂明显修复(P<0.01),去毒培养1 h则完全修复;③CHL细胞和HeLa细胞损伤后修复的拖尾率与修复时间的回归系数显著不同(P<0.05).结论:两种细胞在氧化性DNA损伤后均迅速启动自身修复,但HeLa细胞比CHL细胞有更快的修复能力;同时这两种细胞由Dox所致损伤修复能力均较H2O2、K2Cr2O7所致的差.     

DNA双链断裂残留损伤与癌细胞辐射敏感性研究

目的 了解不同组织来源癌细胞株和人体肿瘤组织原代细胞的DNA双链断裂损伤修复的个体差异性,探寻预测癌细胞辐射敏感性的生物指标。方法 ⁶⁰Co γ射线照射诱发DNA损伤,脉冲电场凝胶电泳检测DNA双链断裂损伤修复,细胞克隆形成能力法检测细胞辐射敏感性。结果 8个不同组织来源癌细胞株的辐射敏感性有较大的差异(D₀为0.65~2.15 Gy),不同细胞株20 Gy γ射线照射诱发产生的DNA双链断裂原初损伤有一定的差别,但与细胞辐射抗性无相关性。辐射敏感细胞SX-10的DNA双链断裂修复缺陷发生在早期快速修复相,而A2780细胞的修复缺陷是发生在晚期慢速修复相。20 Gy照射修复2 h后DNA双链断裂残留量与细胞辐射敏感性指标D₀或SF₂值有显著的相关性。不同个体患者脑肿瘤组织原代细胞之间,辐射诱发DNA双链断裂的修复反应存在明显差异,修复2 h后残留损伤的个体差异性分布类似于癌细胞株。结论 DNA双链断裂残留损伤与癌细胞辐射抗性有显著相关性,可作生物指标预测肿瘤组织细胞对放射治疗的反应性。     

Arthroscopic Latissimus Dorsi Transfer

The patient is placed in lateral decubitus. A 6-cm incision made in the axilla allows access to the latissimus dorsi tendon and its neurovascular pedicle. Holding the arm in internal rotation, the surgeon detaches sharply the tendon off the humeral shaft and then reinforces it with wrapping sutures. Pulling the free limbs of the sutures exposes the under surface of the muscle and helps to identify the neurovascular pedicle. Special lighting retractors suited for a large diameter scope are helpful. Mobilization is completed when 2 cm of the tendon crosses the posterior edge of the acromion. The standard lateral portal is used for visualization. A silicon drain tube stiffened by a Wissinger rod is advanced from the posterior portal under direct visualization in the space between teres minor and deltoid, exiting in the auxiliary incision. A suture loop passed down the tube retrieves the tendon sutures out the posterior portal. These are then moved out the anterior portal, thus pulling the tendon over the tuberosity. The first anchor is inserted at the anterior aspect of the greater tuberosity, close to the articular cartilage and long head of the biceps tendon. Two to 3 anchors are inserted fixing the tendon to the tuberosity until it is stable.     

Hernia repair in elderly patients under unmonitored local anaesthesia is feasible

Background: There is a growing interest in the use of local anaesthesia for inguinal hernia repair. It certainly seems to be an acceptable alternative for the elderly. Supporting intravenous sedation, however, still requires monitoring, anaesthetic personnel and some preparations for the patient. Therefore we set up a feasibility study of hernia repair under local anaesthesia without intravenous sedation or monitoring in elderly patients. Method: A total of 62 patients (aged 65 years or more) with unilateral inguinal hernia received a Mesh Plug Repair. Prospectively collected data included procedure-related complications and information on pain and quality of life as measured by Short Form 36. Results: No procedure-related complications were noted. Comparing the preoperative scores, the SF-36 on day 14 (n=61) did not differ significantly. After a median follow-up of ten months (n=54), significantly higher scores were found for scales of physical and emotional role and pain (all p<0.05). Twenty-two patients reported some form of pain (40.7%). 94.4% of the patients would recommend the procedure when asked. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that Mesh Plug Repair performed under unmonitored local anaesthesia with no intravenous sedation is a feasible alternative for elderly patients. It has advantages for the medical organization without disadvantages for the patient.     

Concomitant mitral valve repair and left ventricular reconstruction in a patient with chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation and inferior left ventricular aneurysm

The surgical approach to ischemic mitral regurgitation with concomitant inferior left ventricular aneurysm remains uncertain in terms of the indication for operation and the short-and long-term outcomes. We performed concomitant mitral valve repair, left ventricular reconstruction, and aortic valve replacement on a 71-year-old male with severe ischemic mitral regurgitation, inferior left ventricular aneurysm, and degenerative aortic regurgitation. Postoperative status was in New York Heart Association functional class I without mitral regurgitation 8 months after operation. We discuss, and review the procedures reported in the literature.     

Repair of large midline incisional hernias with polypropylene mesh: Comparison of three operative techniques

Polypropylene mesh is widely used for the reconstruction of incisional hernias that cannot be closed primarily. Several techniques have been advocated to implant the mesh. The objective of this study was to evaluate, retrospectively, early and late results of three different techniques, onlay, inlay, and underlay. The records of 53 consecutive patients with a large midline incisional hernia — 25 women and 28 men, mean age 60.4 (range 28–94) — were reviewed. Polypropylene mesh was implanted using the onlay technique in 13 patients, inlay in 23 patients, and underlay in 17 patients. Either the greater omentum or a polyglactin mesh was interponated between the mesh and the viscera. The records of these 53 patients were reviewed with respect to: size and cause of the hernia, pre- and postoperative mortality and morbidity, with special attention to wound complications. Patients were invited to attend the outpatient clinic at least 12 months after implantation of the mesh for physical examination of the abdominal wall. Postoperative complications occurred in 14 (26.4%) patients. The onlay technique had significantly more complications, as compared to both other techniques. Reherniation occurred in 15 (28.3%) patients. The reherniation rate of the inlay technique was significantly higher than after the underlay technique (44% vs 12%, P=0.03) and tended to be higher than the onlay technique (44% vs 23%, P=0.22). Repair of large midline incisional hernias with the use of a polypropylene mesh carries a high risk of complications and has a high reherniation rate. The underlay technique seems to be the better technique.
