Abstract
It is well known that bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) has been thought as a promising target utilized for treating various human diseases, such as inflammatory disorders, malignant tumours, acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML), bone diseases, etc. For this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, binding free energy calculations, and principal component analysis (PCA) were integrated together to uncover binding modes of inhibitors 8P9, 8PU, and 8PX to BRD4(1). The results obtained from binding free energy calculations show that van der Waals interactions act as the main regulator in bindings of inhibitors to BRD4(1). The information stemming from PCA reveals that inhibitor associations extremely affect conformational changes, internal dynamics, and movement patterns of BRD4(1). Residue-based free energy decomposition method was wielded to unveil contributions of independent residues to inhibitor bindings and the data signify that hydrogen bonding interactions and hydrophobic interactions are decisive factors affecting bindings of inhibitors to BRD4(1). Meanwhile, eight residues Trp81, Pro82, Val87, Leu92, Leu94, Cys136, Asn140, and Ile146 are recognized as the common hot interaction spots of three inhibitors with BRD4(1). The results from this work are expected to provide a meaningfully theoretical guidance for design and development of effective inhibitors inhibiting of the activity of BRD4.

Abstract
We report a patient with right substernal goiter and preoperative vocal cord palsy (VCP). During dissection, an anatomic variation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and a prolonged EMG were detected by intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM). Symmetrical vocal cord movement was recorded one month after surgery. The potential for recovery of vocal cord function is high after surgical treatment of a thyroid tumor with preoperative VCP. An IONM enables early localization of the RLN position. To the best of our knowledge, this case of prolonged EMG in an abnormal acquired-ventral RLN trajectory is the first reported in the literature.

Abstract
Emerging evidences indicate bromodomain-containing proteins 2 and 4 (BRD2 and BRD4) play critical roles in cancers, inflammations, cardiovascular diseases and other pathologies. Multiple short molecular dynamics (MSMD) simulations combined with molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) method were applied to investigate the binding selectivity of three inhibitors 87D, 88M and 89G towards BRD2 over BRD4. The root-mean-square fluctuation (RMSF) analysis indicates that the structural flexibility of BRD4 is stronger than that of BRD2. Moreover the calculated distances between the Cα atoms in the centres of the ZA_loop and BC_loop of BRD4 are also bigger than that of BRD2. The rank of binding free energies calculated using MM-GBSA method agrees well with that determined by experimental data. The results show that 87D can bind more favourably to BRD2 than BRD4, while 88M has better selectivity on BRD4 over BRD2. Residue-based free-energy decomposition method was utilized to estimate the inhibitor-residue interaction spectrum and the results not only identify the hot interaction spots of inhibitors with BRD2 and BRD4, but also demonstrate that several common residues, including (W370, W374), (P371, P375), (V376, V380) and (L381, L385) belonging to (BRD2, BRD4), generate significant binding difference of inhibitors to BRD2 and BRD4.

Abstract
Objective: To explore imaging characteristics of children with 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data and chest CT images of 15 children diagnosed with 2019-nCoV infection. They were admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen from January 16 to February 6, 2020. The distribution and morphology of pulmonary lesions on chest CT images were analyzed. Results: Among the 15 children, 5 were males and 10 females, aged from 4 to 14 years. Five of the 15 children were febrile and 10 were asymptomatic on the first visit. The first nasal or pharyngeal swab samples in all the 15 cases were positive for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid. For their first chest CT images, 6 patients had no lesions, while 9 patients had pulmonary inflammatory lesions. Seven cases had small nodular ground glass opacities and 2 cases had speckled ground glass opacities. After 3 to 5 days of treatment, 2019-nCoV nucleic acid in a second respiratory sample turned negative in 6 cases. Among them, chest CT images showed less lesions in 2 cases, no lesion in 3 cases, and no improvement in 1 case. The remaining 9 cases were still positive in a second nucleic acid test. Six patients showed similar chest CT inflammation, while 3 patients had new lesions, which were all small nodular ground glass opacities. Conclusions: The early chest CT images of children with 2019-nCoV infection are mostly small nodular ground glass opacities. The clinical symptoms of children with 2019-nCoV infection are nonspecific. Dynamic reexamination of chest CT and nucleic acid are important.

Abstract
Background Open thyroidectomy via conventional midline approach can be challenging in complex thyroid surgeries. This study proposes a U-shaped strap muscle flap (USMF) technique that provides adequately wide exposure of the surgical field. Methods Strap muscles were cut close to the clavicle and along the anterior margin of both sternocleidomastoid muscles followed by total thyroidectomy in 20 patients as USMF group, and surgical outcomes were compared with 40 patients who had received total thyroidectomy via midline approach. Results No patient had postoperative hematoma, vocal cord paralysis, permanent hypocalcaemia, wound infection or flap necrosis. At 2 months post-surgery, objective voice analysis and subjective assessment of voice and swallowing showed no significant difference between groups. Conclusions USMF provides superb surgical field exposure, and the voice and swallowing functions after USMF are comparable to those obtained by midline approach. The USMF approach is a feasible option for selective difficult thyroid surgery.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the characteristics of clinical manifestations and epidemiology of children with 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection. Methods: All 34 children with laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV infection by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR through nasopharyngeal swab specimens were admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen from January 19 to Febuary 7, 2020. Clinical data and epidemiological history of these patients were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results: Among the 34 cases, 14 were males, and 20 were females. The median age was 8 years and 11 months. No patients had underlying diseases. There were 28 children (82%) related with a family cluster outbreak. There were 26 children (76%) with a travel or residence history in Hubei Province. These patients could be categorized into different clinical types, including 22 (65%) common cases, 9 (26%) mild cases and 3 (8.8%) asymptomatic cases. No severe or critical cases were identified. The most common symptoms were fever (17 cases, 50%) and cough (13 cases, 38% ). In the 34 cases, the white blood cell counts of 28 cases (82%) were normal. Five cases had white blood cell counts more than 10×10(9)/L. One case had white blood cell counts less than 4×10(9)/L. Neutropenia and lymphopenia was found in one case, respectively. C-reactive protein levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rates were elevated in 1 and 5 case, respectively. Elevated procalcitonin was found in 1 case and D-Dimer in 3 cases. The levels of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were more than 400 U/L in 10 cases. The CT images of these patients showed bilateral multiple patchy or nodular ground-glass opacities and/or infiltrating shadows in middle and outer zone of the lung or under the pleura. Twenty patients were treated with lopinavir and ritonavir. Glucocorticoids and immunoglobulin were not used in any cases. All the cases improved and were discharged from hospital. Further following up was need. Conclusions: The clinical manifestations in children with 2019-nCoV infection are non-specific and are milder than that in adults. Chest CT scanning is heplful for early diagnosis. Children's infection is mainly caused by family cluster outbreak and imported cases. Family daily prevention is the main way to prevent 2019-nCoV infection.

Abstract
Recently, bromodomain-containing protein 9 (BRD9) has been a prospective therapeutic target for anticancer drug design. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations combined with molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) method were adopted to explore binding modes of three inhibitors (5SW, 5U2, and 5U6) to BRD9 and identify the hot spot of the inhibitor-BRD9 binding. The results indicate that the inhibitor 5SW has the strongest binding ability to BRD9 among the current three inhibitors. Furthermore, the rank of the binding free energies predicted by MM-GBSA approach agrees with that determined by the experimental values. In addition, inhibitor-residue interactions were computed by using residue-based free-energy decomposition method and the results suggest that residue His42 produces the CH-H interactions, residues Asn100, Ile53 and Val49 produce the CH-[Formula: see text] interactions with three inhibitors and Tyr106, Phe45 and Phe44 generate the π-π interactions with inhibitors. Notably, the residue Asn140 forms hydrogen bonding interactions with three inhibitors. This research is expected to provide useful molecular basis and dynamics information at atomic levels for the design of potent inhibitors inhibiting the activity of BRD9.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the experience and effectivity of brain protection in 25 patients who suffered from chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and received pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 25 PTE surgeries in our center from December 2016 to August 2018. All cases were completed underdeep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Standard brain protections were strictly executed, including: balanced and controlled extracorporeal circulation cooling, cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO(2)) monitoring, strictly control of circulatory arrest time, and etc. The neurological adverse events during the perioperative period were recorded and statistically analyzed, and the intelligence level and cognitive function of the patients were evaluated by MMSE scale and MoCA scale before surgery and discharge. Results: All the 25 patients successfully completed the surgery, and 1 patient (4%) died of postoperative infection. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure decreased from (52.9±16.7) mmHg before surgery to (23.6±8.1) mmHg immediately after surgery (t=10.01, P<0.01), and(20.7±7.9) mmHg at 3 months follow-up (t=10.73, P<0.01). Pulmonary vascular resistance decreased from 975.4 (788.6-1 292.8) dyn·s·cm(-5) to 376.1 (283.6-565.5) dyn·s·cm(-5) (Z=5.34, P<0.01). Neurological complications occurred in 3 patients during the perioperative period, including 2 patients with hypoxic encephalopathy, and 1 patient with cerebral hemorrhage. All 3 patients fully recovered before discharge. Univariate analysis showed that the duration of rSO(2)<40% and the maximum decrease rate of rSO(2) from baseline were significantly correlated with postoperative neurological damage. Multivariate analysis showed only time of rSO(2)<40% was significantly correlated with postoperative neurological damage. There was no significant difference in MMSE and MoCA score before and after surgery (P>0.05). Conclusions: Adequate brain protection measures are essential to reduce the neurological complications of PTE surgery. Real-time intraoperative monitoring of rSO(2) and strict control of circulatory arrest time can further reduce the occurrence of neurological damage.

Abstract
Due to difficult healing, wounds become chronic diseases in many patients, and bring heavy burden to family and society in China. Although there are many studies about wound repair at present, its mechanism remains unclear. An increasing number of studies showed that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), exosomes, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) play different important roles in the regulation of different phases of wound repair. This review focuses on the function and mechanism of MSCs, exosomes, and PRP in wound repair.

Abstract
From January 2010 to December 2017, 4 patients of thumb with necrosis caused by electric burns (all male, aged from 31 to 58 years) were admitted to our hospital, with 1 patient of second degree injury of right thumb, 2 patients of third degree injury of right thumb, and 1 patient of third degree injury of left thumb. Routine debridement under general anesthesia was performed within 7 days after injury. The compound tissue flap of contralateral second toe was transplanted to reconstruct the thumb with third degree defect, and compound tissue flap of ipsilateral distal hallex was transplanted to reconstruct the thumb with second degree defect. Dorsalis pedics artery was anastomosed with radial artery, saphenous vein or dorsalis pedics vein was anastomosed with cephalic vein. The donor site was transplanted with split-thickness skin graft from autologous thigh. All the tissue flaps and skin grafts survived in 2 weeks after surgery. Within 1 year of follow-up, the reconstructed thumbs can achieve radial abduction and palmar abduction with good function. Reconstruction of thumb with free transplantation of compound tissue flap of toe is a good method to repair thumb with necrosis caused by electric burn.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Bifurcation lesions are account for relatively high incidence of adverse events, especially in serious calcification and distort lesions during bifurcation stenting.
Purpose
Based on Saito's modified jailed balloon technique (M-JBT, Shigeru Saito, Modified jailed balloon technique for bifurcation lesions, Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2018; 92:E218–E226), fully dilatation with modified balloons was performed on calcification lesion in main branch, to observe if this combination method will facilitate bifurcation lesions stenting procedure.
Methods
For M-JBT, we followed Saito's technique. Basically, a jailed balloon (JB) is introduced into the side branch (SB), while a stent is placed in the main branch (MB) as crossing SB. The size of the JB is half of the MB stent size. While the proximal end of JB attaching to MB stent, both stent and JB are simultaneously inflated with same pressure. Kissing balloon dilatation (KBD) and/or T and protrusion (TAP) stenting are applied as needed.
Modified balloons are performed as severe calcification presented in MB.
Results
More than 50 patients and 60 bifurcations (both for selective and primary cases) underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using this combined technique since November 2018. Procedure success was achieved in all cases. KBD was performed for a few lesions and TAP stenting was employed for 1 lesion. Occlusion of SV was not observed in any of the patients.
Illustration cases and prodedure
Conclusions
Saito's modified jailed balloon technique is safe and effective method in bifurcation stenting. Combined with modified balloons is an effective method when severe calcification presented in bifurcation lesions, especially in distort lesion (main branch or side branch) and poor position visualization situations when rewire is difficult in traditional JBT procedure.

[PMID: 31302316 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2019.153005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2019] [Revised: 06/20/2019] [Accepted: 06/29/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND 8-Hydroxyquinoline derivatives have highly sensitive fluorescent chemosensors for metal ions, which are associated with anti-oxidant, anti-tumor and anti-HIV-1 properties. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is associated with a high rate of mortality and novel anti-HNSCC drugs must be developed. Therefore, effective chemotherapy agents are required to address this public health issue. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)iron (Feq3) on the HNSCC and the underlying mechanism. STUDY DESIGN/METHODS A novel 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative, Feq3, was synthesized. The cell viabilities were analyzed using MTT reagent. Apoptosis and the cell cycle distributions were determined by flow cytometer. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunofluorescence, western blot, MitoSOX and CellROX stain assay were used to study the mechanism of Feq3. Feq3 combined with antioxidants NAC (N-acetylcysteine) and BSO (buthionine sulfoximine) measured the cell viability and intracellular ROS. RESULTS Feq3 induced the death of HNSCC cells and caused them to exhibit the morphological features of apoptosis. Feq3 also induced apoptosis of SCC9 cells by cell cycle arrest during the G2/M phase and the induced arrest of SCC25 cells in the G0/G1 and G2/M phases, which was associated with decreased cyclin B1/cdc2 and cyclin D/cdk4 expressions. Feq3 increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduces glutathione (GSH) levels, and responds to increased p53 and p21 expressions. Feq3 induced apoptosis by mitochondria-mediated Bax and cytochrome c up-expression and down-expression Bcl-2. Feq3 also up-regulated tBid, which interacts with the mitochondrial pathway and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)/TNF-Rs, FasL/Fas, and TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand receptors (TRAIL-Rs)/TRAIL-dependent caspases apoptotic signaling pathway in HNSCC cells. However, Feq3 activates Fas but not FasL in SCC25 cells. Feq3 arrests the growth of HNSCC cells and is involved in the mitochondria- and death receptor (DR)-mediated caspases apoptotic pathway. CONCLUSION This study is the first to suggest that apoptosis mediates the anti-HNSCC of Feq3. Feq3 has potential as a cancer therapeutic agent against HNSCC.

Abstract
Objective: To clarify the feasibility and safety of magnetically guided capsule endoscopy (MGCE) in minors. Methods: A descriptive cohort study was carried out to retrospectively collect the data of minors (<18 years) who underwent MGCE in Ruijin Hospital from April 2015 to October 2018. Exclusion criteria: patients with dysphagia, obvious gastrointestinal bleeding, diagnosed or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction, or congenital gastrointestinal malformations or intestinal fistula; patients with previous bowel surgery, or in poor general condition; patients with implants; pregnant patients; patients with incomplete data or without data. A total of 218 patients, including 122 males and 96 females, with mean age of (12.0±3.1) (5-17) years and 236 times of examination were included. The capsule size of the Ankon MGCE system was 11.8 mm×27 mm, taking two pictures per second, with a viewing angle of 140 degrees. Data of gastric visualization (0% to 100%), gastric cleanliness (satisfactory cleanliness was defined as a clear display of the gastric mucosa; the effect of bubbles or mucus on the visual field was negligible, or the gastric mucosa was slightly blurred; a small amount of air bubbles or mucus affected slightly the field of view), gastric or small bowel examination time, lesion detection rate, etc. were recorded. All the patients were followed up for 2 weeks to confirm capsule excretion and to record adverse events. Results: A total of 202 patients (217 times) completed gastric examination and 112 patients (125 times) completed small bowel examination. The median gastric visualization of cardia, fundus, body, angulus, antrum and pylorus was 100%, 90% (75%,100%), 100% (80%,100%), 100%, 100%, and 100%, respectively. The cleanliness of the gastric cardia, fundus, body, angle, antrum, and pylorus was assessed to be satisfactory in 100.0%, 76.5% (153/200), 92.5% (185/200), 97.5% (195/200), 99.5% (199/200), and 100.0% of patients, respectively. In 202 patients undergoing gastric examination, the median gastric exanimation time was 10.5 (7.3, 13.9) minutes. In 112 patients undergoing small bowel examination, the median gastric transit time was 51.5 (20.6, 112.0) minutes and the median small bowel transit time was 232.4 (181.8, 321.6) minutes. The small bowel transit rate was 91.1% (102/112). The lesion detection rates of stomach, duodenum and jejunoileum were 18.8% (38/202), 8.1% (10/124) and 26.8% (30/112) respectively. No complications or adverse events occurred. Conclusion: MGCE is feasible and safe to detect both gastric cavity and small bowel in minors.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the allogeneic mouse adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADSC)-microporous sheep acellular dermal matrix (ADM) on healing of wound with full-thickness skin defect in mouse and the related mechanism. Methods: One Kunming mouse was sacrificed by cervical dislocation to collect adipose tissue from inguinal region. Mouse ADSCs were isolated from the adipose tissue and cultured in vitro. Cells of the third passage were identified by cell adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation. The expressions of CD73, CD90, CD105, and CD34 were analyzed by flow cytometry. After one sheep was sacrificed, microporous sheep ADM was prepared from sheep back using decellularization method and freezing-thawing method. A 12 mm diameter, round, full-thickness skin defect wound was made on the back of each one of 36 Kunming mice. The wounds were covered by microporous sheep ADM. The mice were divided into group ADSC and control (C) group with 18 mice in each group according to the random number table after surgery. A volume of 0.2 mL DMEM/F12 culture medium containing 1×10(6) ADSCs was injected between microporous sheep ADM and wound of mice in group ADSC. While 0.2 mL DMEM/F12 culture medium was injected between microporous sheep ADM and wound of mice in group C. On post surgery day (PSD) 12 and 17, wound healing rates of mice in the 2 groups were calculated. On PSD 7, 12, and 17, wound vascularization of mice in the 2 groups was observed under reverse irradiation of backlight. On PSD 7, 12, and 17, the wound granulation tissue of mice in group ADSC was observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. On PSD 7, the thicknesses of granulation tissue of mice in the 2 groups was measured. On PSD 12 and 17, expressions of VEGF in wounds of mice in the 2 groups were detected by immunohistochemical method. The sample number was 6 in each group at each time point in the above experiments. Data were processed with t test and analysis of variance of factorial design. Results: (1) After 7 days of adipogenic induction, lipid droplet was observed in cytoplasm using oil red O staining. After 21 days of osteogenic induction, black deposits of calcium salts were detected using silver nitrate staining. Expression rates of CD73, CD90, CD105, and CD34 in cells were 97.82%, 99.32%, 97.35%, and 5.88% respectively. The cells were identified as ADSCs. (2) The wound healing rates of mice in group ADSC on PSD 12 and 17 [(78±6)%, (98±3)%] were significantly higher than those in group C [(60±9)%, (90±4)%, t=4.26, 4.46, P<0.01]. (3) On PSD 7, no vessel obviously grew into the center of wounds of mice in the 2 groups, while the granulation tissue has covered the wounds of mice in group ADSC. On PSD 12, the vessels were more abundant in wounds of mice in group ADSC than those in group C. On PSD 17, big vessels crossing the whole wounds was observed in wounds of mice in group ADSC, while big vessels were observed without crossing the whole wounds in wounds of mice in group C. (4) The wounds were covered with thin granulation tissue on PSD 7, and the granulation tissue began to thicken on PSD 12 and were covered by epidermis on PSD 17 in wounds of mice in group ADSC. On PSD 7, the granulation tissue in wounds of mice in group ADSC [(0.62±0.05) mm] was significantly thicker than that in group C [ (0.31±0.04) mm, t=12.27, P<0.01]. (5) On PSD 12 and 17, expressions of VEGF in wounds of mice in group ADSC [(80.7±2.2), (0.98±0.03)/mm(2)] were significantly than those in group C [(59.5±2.4), (81.5±2.6)/mm(2,) t=15.95, 14.14, P<0.01]. Conclusions: Allogeneic mouse ADSC-microporous sheep ADM can accelerate angiogenesis and growth of granulation tissue, thus promoting wound healing, which may be due to the increase of expression of VEGF.

Abstract
Background Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (emt) refers to the biologic process in which epithelial cells are transformed into interstitial phenotypes by specific pathways. This transition plays an important biologic role in the process by which epithelium-derived malignant tumour cells acquire the ability to migrate and invade. We explored the relationship between emt-associated molecules and patient-related clinical factors to determine whether any clinical characteristics could be used as biomarkers for emt-related protein alterations in lung cancer-especially lung adenocarcinoma. Methods Tumour specimens were collected from 80 patients with lung adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery or lung biopsy, with 4 patients being evaluated a 2nd time after re-biopsy. Expression of emt-related proteins, including E-cadherin and vimentin, was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. We analyzed the relationship between clinicopathologic characteristics and expression level of the emt markers. Results Positive expression of E-cadherin was observed in 63 patients (79%), and vimentin, in 46 patients (57.5%). No significant relationships between E-cadherin or vimentin expression and smoking history, sex, age, driving gene mutations, or cell differentiation were identified. A significant correlation was observed between vimentin expression and pathologic stage. Of the 4 patients who were evaluated a 2nd time after re-biopsy, 3 showed the same emt-related protein expression status as in the first analysis. In the remaining patient, E-cadherin had changed completely. Conclusions Clinicopathologic factors in cancer patients did not help to diagnose emt status in lung adenocarcinoma; however, TNM stage might be associated with vimentin expression.

Abstract
In this article, multiple eigen-systems including linear growth rates and eigen-functions have been discovered for the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) by numerically solving the Sturm-Liouville eigen-value problem in the case of two-dimensional plane geometry. The system called the first mode has the maximal linear growth rate and is just extensively studied in literature. Higher modes have smaller eigen-values, but possess multi-peak eigen-functions which bring on multiple pairs of vortices in the vorticity field. A general fitting expression for the first four eigen-modes is presented. Direct numerical simulations show that high modes lead to appearances of multi-layered spike-bubble pairs, and lots of secondary spikes and bubbles are also generated due to the interactions between internal spikes and bubbles. The present work has potential applications in many research and engineering areas, e.g., in reducing the RTI growth during capsule implosions in inertial confinement fusion.
