Abstract
To investigate the common specific immunoglobulin E(sIgE) in children with eczema and urticaria, compare the allergies in children with different diseases, genders and ages, and provide the scientific basis for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment. A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the children who were suspected of eczema and urticaria and tested for serum sIgE in the Tianjin Children's Hospital from December 2019 to August 2021. A total of 8 092 serum samples were tested for ten food allergens and ten inhaled allergens. The method was the enzyme-linked immune capture assay. The allergen epidemiological characteristics were statistically analyzed by Chi square test based on the children's characteristics and factors such as different sexes and ages and by the mass data. The results showed that the positive rate of eczema was 64.42%(5 213/8 092), and the urticaria was 35.58%(2 879/8 092). The positive rate of specific IgE was 66.65%(5 393/8 092), the food allergens was 61.74%(4 996/8 092), and the inhaled allergens was 34.85%(2 820/8 092). The top three positive rates of food allergens were egg 46.65%(3 775/8 092), milk 32.64%(2 641/8 092) and wheat flour 15.08%(1 220/8 092). The top three positive rates of inhaled allergens were house dust 21.40%(1 732/8 092), Alternaria 11.78%(953/8 092) and Dermatophagoides farinae 7.33%(593/8 092). The positivity of food allergens and inhaled allergens was significantly different in different age groups. The positive rates of food allergens in different age groups were 48.92%(947/1 936) in<1 year old, 72.28%(2 680/3 708) in 1-3 years old, 64.58%(919/1 423) in 4-6 years old and 43.90%(450/1 025) in>6 years old. The positive rates of inhaled allergens in different age groups were 17.67%(342/1 936) in<1 year old, 36.35%(1 348/3 708) in 1-3 years old, 46.38%(660/1 423) in 4-6 years old and 45.85%(470/1 025) in>6 years old. The top six positive rates of allergens of eczema were the same with urticaria, which were egg, milk, house dust, wheat flour, Alternaria and Dermatophagoides farinae. The allergens (greater than or equal to grade 4) differed in children with eczema and urticaria. Moreover, there were significant differences in the positive rates of Alternaria, egg, wheat flour, crab and shrimp. In conclusion, this study can reflect the epidemic characteristics of allergens in children with eczema and urticaria to a certain extent. There were significant differences in the positive rates of allergens between different age groups. It is necessary to reasonably avoid the high-risk allergens according to the epidemiological characteristics and clinical symptoms, which provide valuable information for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases.

Abstract
Electric burn is a kind of three-dimensional destructive damage. It is necessary to attach great importance to the functional reconstruction and rehabilitation of patients with destructive electric burns. Wound repair and limb salvage are not the end of the treatment of destructive electric burns, but functional rehabilitation and reintegration into society of patients are the goals of treatment. This paper systematically discusses the early wound repair, late functional reconstruction and rehabilitation, limb salvage and amputation, minimized damage of donor area, psychological rehabilitation, and multi-disciplinary cooperation of destructive electric burns. Only by attaching great importance to the functional reconstruction and rehabilitation, and embedding these concepts in people's brains, perfect repair and rehabilitation of destructive electric burns can be realized.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of the giant deep inferior epigastric artery paraumbilical perforator flap in repairing the circular high-voltage electric burn wounds on the wrist. Methods: A retrospective observational study method was used. From September 2016 to October 2021, thirteen male patients (aged 20-43 years) with annular high voltage (10-100 kV) electrical burns on the wrist were admitted to the Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. At the early stage after injury, the patient's wrist was subjected to incision, tension reduction and debridement, with the wound area after debridement being 27 cm×16 cm-32 cm×19 cm; in 12 patients with vascular injury, the radial or ulnar artery was reconstructed by great saphenous vein transplantation, with the length of 15-25 cm; the wrist wound was repaired by free transplantation of the deep inferior epigastric artery paraumbilical perforator flap (if the wound was giant, the lower abdominal flap carrying other perforators was used), with the area of 30 cm×19 cm-35 cm×20 cm. The donor site was repaired by direct suture+skin grafting or relay flap transplantation. After surgery, the survival of flap in recipient area, as well as survival of the skin or flap in donor site were observed. During follow-up, the appearances of the flap in recipient area and the recovery of hand function, as well as the healing of donor site, occurrence of abdominal wall hernia, and scar in skin graft area were observed. Results: After surgery, all the 13 patients' paraumbilical perforator flaps survived. Among them, 3 patients had subcutaneous fat necrosis at the distal end of the wrist flap, and the wound had mild infection, which healed after re-expansion and dressing change. All the skin grafts in the donor site of 10 patients survived, and the flaps in the donor site of 3 patients survived well. The patients were followed up for 6 months to 3 years. The flaps in recipient area were in good shape, 8 cases had partial recovery of hand function, and 5 cases had loss of finger flexion function; the donor site of abdominal flap healed well with no abdominal hernia occurred, and the skin graft site had no obvious scar hyperplasia and was soft in texture. Conclusions: Early vascular reconstruction after injury, together with free transplantation of the giant deep inferior epigastric artery paraumbilical perforator flap are effective in repairing circular high-voltage electrical burn wounds on the wrist.

Abstract
Objectives: This study sought to describe our institutional experience of repeated percutaneous stellate ganglion blockade (R-SGB) as a treatment option for drug-refractory electrical storm in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). Methods: This prospective observational study included 8 consecutive NICM patients who had drug-refractory electrical storm and underwent R-SGB between June 1, 2021 and January 31, 2022. Lidocaine (5 ml, 1%) was injected in the vicinity of the left stellate ganglion under the guidance of ultrasound, once per day for 7 days. Data including clinical characteristics, immediate and long-term outcomes, and procedure related complications were collected. Results: The mean age was (51.5±13.6) years. All patients were male. 5 patients were diagnosed as dilated cardiomyopathy, 2 patients as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and 1 patient as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The left ventricular ejection fraction was 37.8%±6.6%. After the treatment of R-SGB, 6 (75%) patients were free of electrical storm. 24 hours Holter monitoring showed significant reduction in ventricular tachycardia (VT) episodes from 43.0 (13.3, 276.3) to 1.0 (0.3, 34.0) on the first day following R-SGB (P<0.05) and 0.5 (0.0, 19.3) after whole R-SGB process (P<0.05). There were no procedure-related major complications. The mean follow-up was (4.8±1.1) months, and the median time of recurrent VT was 2 months. Conclusion: Minimally invasive R-SGB is a safe and effective method to treat electrical storm in patients with NICM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the current study was to explore the role and underlying mechanism of FGF-2 in dexamethasone (DEX)-induced apoptosis in MC3T3-E1 cells. METHODS GSE21727 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by the limma/R package. MC3T3-E1 cells were exposed to DEX at different concentrations (0, 10-8, 10-7, 10-6, 10-5 and 10-4 mol/L), and cell viability, flow cytometry and TUNEL assay were used to detect cell proliferation and apoptosis. An FGF-2-pcDNA3 plasmid (oe-FGF-2) was used to overexpress FGF-2, and western blotting was conducted to detect protein expression. RESULTS We found that FGF-2 was downregulated in the DEX-treated group. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses indicated that DEGs were associated with PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. DEX downregulated FGF-2 gene and protein expression, inhibited viability and induced MC3T3-E1 cell apoptosis. Overexpression of FGF-2 reversed DEX-induced apoptosis in MC3T3-E1 cells. FGF-2-mediated anti-apoptosis was impaired by inactivating the PI3K/AKT pathway with LY294002. Moreover, overexpression of FGF2 delayed the progression of DEX-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) animal model by regulation PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. CONCLUSION In conclusion, FGF-2 is effective at inhibiting DEX-induced MC3T3-E1 cell apoptosis through regulating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the application strategy and clinical effects of paraumbilical perforator flap with inferior epigastric vessels in repairing various destructive wounds. Methods: The retrospective observational study method was applied. From January 2015 to December 2020, 28 patients (21 males and 7 females, aged 25 to 66 years) with destructive wounds in various body parts were admitted to Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. The wound areas of patients ranged from 17 cm×8 cm to 35 cm×22 cm after debridement. Pedicled or free paraumbilical perforator flaps with inferior epigastric vessels were used to repair the wounds respectively. The areas of flaps were from 18 cm×10 cm to 37 cm×24 cm, and the lengths of vascular pedicles were 13.0-17.0 (15.1±2.3) cm. For type Ⅲ high-voltage electric burn wounds of wrist, two methods were used to reconstruct the blood flow of hand, one is to bridge the radial artery with saphenous vein grafting and the other one is to design blood flow-through flap. The strength of abdominal wall in the donor site was strengthened by polypropylene patch, and then the wounds were directly sutured. If the wounds could not be sutured directly, then allogenic acellular dermal matrix (ADM) was applied to strengthen the abdominal wall first, and then autologous medium-thickness skin graft was taken from the thigh to cover the wounds. The flap transplantation, hand blood flow reconstruction, the repair of donor site, the flap survival, the wound and donor site healing after operation, the appearance of flaps, and the wound and donor site recovery during follow-up were observed. Results: Among the patients in this group, 13 patients were treated with pedicled flap grafting, while 15 patients were treated with free flap grafting. The hand blood flow of 7 patients with type Ⅲ high-voltage electric burn wounds of wrist was reconstructed by bridging radial artery with saphenous vein grafting. The hand blood flow of 3 patients with type Ⅲ high-voltage electric burn wounds of wrist was reconstructed with blood flow-through flap. In 16 patients, the strength of abdominal wall was strengthened using patch in the donor site,and then the donor sites were sutured directly. In 12 patients, the strength of abdominal wall was strengthened using allogenic ADM, and then the donor sites were covered by skin grafting. All the transplanted flaps survived completely. The wounds of 24 patients were healed, while the wounds of 3 patients with type Ⅲ high-voltage electric burn wounds of wrist and 1 patient with chronic radiation ulcer of ilium failed to heal because of there were still some necrotic tissue and purulent secretion under the flaps. The wounds were healed eventually after debridement and dressing changes. During the follow-up of 6 months to 3 years, the flap survived well with good appearance in all patients, and there was no recurrence, or no abdominal wall hernia occurred in the donor site. Conclusions: Paraumbilical perforator flap with inferior epigastric vessels has flexible design, long vascular pedicle, large area for cut. It can be pedicled or freely transplanted, which is a good choice for repairing destructive wounds in various areas.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the factors associated with long-term survival and guide the decision for primary surgery in patients with advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer(HGSOC). Methods: In this case-control study, clinical parameters, including surgical and non-surgical associated factors, were collected and compared between the patients with short-term (<2 years) and long-term (>5 years) survival who all underwent primary debulking surgery (PDS) followed by carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy from January 2004 to December 2016. Univariate analysis was examined by chi-square test and multivariate analysis was performed by logistic regression analysis. Results: There were 95 cases long-term survival (LTS group) and 77 cases short-term survival (STS group) in 698 newly diagnosed HGSOC patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅲc and Ⅳ who met include and exclude criteria. (1) Univariate analysis showed that the proportion of complete cytoreduction with no visible residual disease (R0) at PDS and platinum sensitivity in LTS group were significantly higher than those in STS group (P<0.01). The surgical complexity score (SCS), the preoperative serum CA125 level and the ascites volume in the LTS group were significantly lower than those of the STS group (all P<0.05). In the LTS group, the preoperative incidence of lesions in retrograde peritoneum of the bladder, serosal and mesangial membrane of the small intestine, upper abdominal peritoneum and liver parenchyma were significantly lower than those in the STS group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that platinum sensitivity (OR=0.016, 95%CI: 0.004-0.063, P<0.01), ascites volume >500 ml (OR=3.193, 95%CI: 1.285-7.930, P=0.012), and SCS ≥8 (OR=17.433, 95%CI: 2.281-133.25, P=0.003) were independent factors affecting long-term survival (P>0.05). (2) Totally 37 of 95 in long-term survival and 16 of 77 in short-term survival achieved R0 cytoreduction at PDS. Univariate analysis showed that preoperative serum CA125 level, preoperative lesion score, preoperative lesion (DS) score, ascites volume, platinum sensitivity,and SCS were significantly correlated with the R0 PDS (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that ascites volume >500 ml (OR=5.199, 95%CI: 2.015-13.409, P=0.001), DS >2 (OR=15.264, 95%CI: 5.843-39.874, P<0.01) and SCS ≥4 (OR=4.176, 95%CI: 1.618-10.777, P=0.003) were independent factors associated with R0 cytoreduction. In patients with DS ≤2 or SCS <4, but not those with DS >2 or SCS ≥4, R0 cytoreduction was significantly associated with long-term survival. Conclusion: The intrinsic biology of tumor is the factor influencing long-term survival of advanced HGSOC patients, and those who present with wide intraperitoneal metastases and need to remove multiple organs may not benefit from R0 cytoreduction.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the consistency of peripheral whole blood and venous serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels, and the value of peripheral whole blood PCT in evaluating pediatric bacterial infection. Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional parallel control study was conducted in 11 children's hospital. All the 1 898 patients older than 28 days admitted to these hospitals from March 2018 to February 2019 had their peripheral whole blood and venous serum PCT detected simultaneously with unified equipment, reagent and method. According to the venous serum PCT level, the patients were stratified to subgroups. Analysis of variance and chi-square test were used to compare the demographic characteristics among groups. And the correlation between the peripheral blood and venous serum PCT level was investigated by quantitative Pearson correlation analysis.The PCT resultes were also converted into ranked data to further test the consistency between the two sampling methods by Spearman's rank correlation test. Furthermore, the ranked data were converted into binary data to evaluate the consistency and investigate the best cut-off of peripheral blood PCT level in predicting bacterial infection. Results: A total of 1 898 valid samples were included (1 098 males, 800 females),age 27.4(12.2,56.7) months. There was a good correlation between PCT values of peripheral whole blood and venous serum (r=0.97, P<0.01). The linear regression equation was PCTvenous serum=0.135+0.929×PCTperipheral whole blood. However, when stratified to 5 levels, PCT results showed diverse and unsatisfied consistency between the two sampling methods (r=0.51-0.92, all P<0.01). But after PCT was converted to ordinal categorical variables, the stratified analysis showed that the coincidence rate of the measured values by the two sampling methods in each boundary area was 84.9%-97.1%. The dichotomous variables also showed a good consistency (coincidence rate 96.8%-99.3%, Youden index 0.82-0.89). According to the severity of disease, the serum PCT value was classified into 4 intervals(<0.5、0.5-<2.0、2.0-<10.0、≥10.0 μg/L), and the peripheral blood PCT value also showed a good predictive value (AUC value was 0.991 2-0.997 9). The optimal cut points of peripheral whole blood PCT value 0.5、1.0、2.0、10.0 μg/L corresponding to venous serum PCT values were 0.395, 0.595, 1.175 and 3.545 μg/L, respectively. Conclusions: There is a good correlation between peripheral whole blood PCT value and the venous serum PCT value, which means that the peripheral whole blood PCT could facilitate the identification of infection and clinical severity. Besides, the sampling of peripheral whole blood is simple and easy to repeat.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of staged repair strategy for chronic sacrococcygeal radiation ulcer. Methods: The retrospective cohort study method was applied. Twelve patients with chronic sacrococcygeal radiation ulcer were admitted to Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 2010 to June 2020, including 7 males and 5 females, aged 38-74 years. The thorough debridement was performed in the first stage, with wounds area after debridement ranging from 8 cm×6 cm to 22 cm×14 cm, and continuous vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) was performed after the debridement operation. In the second stage, personalized surgery scheme was formulated according to the patient's age, systemic condition, vascular condition, and the position, size, and depth of wound. Six cases were reconstructed with superior/inferior gluteal artery perforator flaps, 4 cases were repaired with gluteus maximus myocutaneous flaps, 1 case was repaired with pedicled latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, and 1 case was reconstructed with free transplantation of latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap. The area of flaps or myocutaneous flaps ranged from 10 cm×8 cm to 25 cm×18 cm. Donor sites of the flaps were sutured primarily in 9 patients and in the other 3 patients were repaired with intermediate split-thickness skin graft in back. The survival of flap or myocutaneous flap after operation, recurrence of tumor, and the appearance and texture of flap or myocutaneous flap, and wound healing were observed during follow-up. Results: Flaps or myocutaneous flaps in 11 patients survived after operation, and superior gluteal artery perforator flap in 1 patient had partial distal necrosis, which was covered again with flap pushed to the distal after debridement and resection of the necrotic tissue. The wounds in 8 patients achieved primary healing, 1 patient repaired with superior gluteal artery perforator flap experienced subcutaneous infection, 1 patient repaired with superior gluteal artery perforator flap suffered distal venous congestion of the flap, and 1 patient repaired with gluteus maximus myocutaneous flap had hematoma under myocutaneous flap, and 1 patient repaired with retrograde latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap had incision exudation and dehiscence, which were all healed after dressing change, etc. There was no recurrence of tumor after the operation. The wounds healed well during follow-up of 2-52 months after discharge, with no recurrence of infection, and the flaps were soft in texture, with satisfactory appearance and well healed donor sites. Conclusions: On the basis of thorough debridement and VSD in the first stage, superior/inferior gluteal artery perforator flap, gluteus maximus myocutaneous flap, or pedicled/free latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap with abundant blood supply is applied to repair chronic sacrococcygeal radiation ulcer in the second stage. The staged operation is reliable, with minimal injury to the donor site of flap and satisfactory therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of inpatients with high-voltage electrical burns on the wrist in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital (hereinafter referred to as the author's unit), so as to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of high-voltage electrical burns on the wrist. Methods: The medical records of inpatients suffered from high-voltage electrical burns on the wrist in the author's unit from January 2008 to December 2019 were collected. The patients' gender, age, population category, injury situation, injury season, total burn area, electrical burn type on the wrist of the affected limbs, the time from injury to first flap/myocutaneous flap transplantation, vascular reconstruction and flap/myocutaneous flap transplantation of the affected limbs, the total amputation rate of the affected limbs and the amputation rate of the affected limbs with type Ⅲelectrical burns on the wrist, the number of operation, postoperative infection rate of flap/myocutaneous flap, length of hospital stay, hospitalization expense, and treatment outcome were retrospectively analyzed. Comparison of the aforementioned statistical items between patients admitted from January 2008 to December 2013 (hereinafter referred to as the pre-stage) and January 2014 to December 2019 (hereinafter referred to as the post-stage) except gender, the total amputation rate of the affected limbs, treatment outcome were performed. Data were statistically analyzed with chi-square test, Fisher's exact probability test, and Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results: During the 12 years, a total of 169 patients with high-voltage electrical burns on the wrist were admitted to the author's unit, including 162 males and 7 females, aged (35±13) years, and 75.15% (127/169) of patients were 21-50 years old. The top three groups in population category from high to low were workers, migrant workers, and primary and secondary school students, accounting for 48.52% (82/169), 28.99% (49/169), and 9.47% (16/169), respectively. At work of non-electric power accounted for 47.93% (81/169) and ranked the first in the proportion of injury situation. The injury occurred mostly in summer and autumn, accounting for 39.05% (66/169) and 28.99% (49/169), respectively. About 65.09% (110/169) of the patients were with total burn area less than 10% total body surface area. There were totally 216 affected limbs with high-voltage electrical burns on the wrist, of which the numbers of wrist with type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ injury were 25 (11.57%) and 21 (9.72%), respectively. The time from injury to first flap/myocutaneous flap transplantation was 6.00 (3.75, 8.00) d. There were 45 affected limbs operated with vascular reconstruction, 75 affected limbs transplanted with pedicled axial flap, and 86 affected limbs transplanted with free flap/myocutaneous flap. The total amputation rate of affected limbs was 12.96% (28/216), and the amputation rate of the affected limbs with type Ⅲ electrical burns on the wrist was 28% (7/25). The number of operation was 4 (3, 5) times, the postoperative infection rate of flap/myocutaneous flap was 7.18% (13/181), the hospitalization time was 39.00 (25.00, 50.00) d, and the hospitalization cost was 123 553.00 (50 656.50, 216 003.00) yuan. Compared with those of the pre-stage, the time from injury to first flap/myocutaneous flap transplantation was significantly shortened (Z=-4.038, P<0.01), the ratio of free flap/myocutaneous flap transplantation on affected limbs was significantly increased (χ(2)=13.478, P<0.01), the ratio of pedicled axial flap transplantation on affected limbs was significantly decreased (χ(2)=10.242, P<0.01), the number of operation was significantly reduced (Z=-5.903, P<0.01), the postoperative infection rate of flap/myocutaneous flap was significantly decreased (χ(2)=4.492, P<0.05), the length of hospital stay was significantly shortened (Z=-2.723, P<0.01), and the hospitalization expense was significantly decreased among patients hospitalized in the post-stage (Z=-2.121, P<0.05). The other items were close between patients hospitalized in the pre-stage and those in the post-stage. Conclusions: Men were more likely than women to suffer from high-voltage electrical burns on the wrist in the author's unit. Young workers and migrant workers may be the key groups for the prevention of high-voltage electrical burns on the wrist. It is very important to strengthen the management of high voltage safety education for non-electric power staff, warn and protect the surrounding area of high voltage environment, and prohibit non staff for entering the high voltage environment, especially in summer and autumn. In the last 6 years, the patients with high-voltage electrical burns on the wrist may benefit from the active vascular reconstruction at early stage and free flap/myocutaneous flap repair in the author's unit.

Abstract
From January 2014 to June 2018, 28 patients with different types of deep soft tissue injury or infection were admitted to the Affiliated Jiangyin Hospital of Medical College of Southeast University; 5 patients were admitted to the Zhengzhou First People's Hospital. There were 24 males and 9 females, aged 18-89 (40±20) years. Disposable suction tubes with holes cut on side walls were used as self-made drainage tubes. The authors placed the self-made drainage tubes on different deep soft tissue layers and wound surfaces after debridement. The effective drainage sections of the wound surface drainage tubes were wrapped with silver ion antimicrobial functional active dressings. Bio-permeable membrane was used to close the operative area. The drainage tubes in the deep layer of wound and wound surface were connected in parallel by a tee and connected to wall-hanging medical negative-pressure suction device to conduct negative-pressure wound treatment at -20.0 to -10.6 kPa. The deep drainage tubes were usually removed or changed 4 or 5 days after surgery.The drainage tubes in the wound surface were synchronously replaced when removing or replacing he drainage tubes in the deep layer of wound. On 4 to 15 days after surgery, the deep drainage tubes were removed. On 8 to 25 days after surgery, the wound surface drainage tubes were removed. Then the treatment was changed to a conventional dressing change until the wounds were completely healed or the wound bed was ready for skin grafts or tissue flaps. The indwelling time of deep drainage tubes in this group of patients was (6.2±2.8) days, and the indwelling time of wound surface drainage tubes was (12.0±3.0) days. The wound healing time was (22±5) days, the hospital stay time was (29±7) days, and wound bacteria were reduced from 6 species and 11 strains before treatment to 3 species and 4 strains after treatment. No adverse events such as wound bleeding, irritative pain, and chronic sinus occurred during treatment. Twenty-three patients were followed up for 13 to 28 months, no treatment-related complications were observed.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of axial flap of adjacent artery perforator with vascular pedicle in repairing scar deformity of face and neck in patients. Methods: From January 2010 to June 2018, 38 patients with cicatricial deformity of face and neck after deep burn were admitted to author's unit, including 22 males and 16 females, aged 5-56 years. The time of admission was 7 months to 19 years after burn injury. The size of wounds ranged from 7.0 cm×4.0 cm to 20.0 cm×10.0 cm after scar tissue was released. Nineteen patients were treated by upper thoracic internal artery perforator flap with size ranged from 7.0 cm×5.0 cm to 18.0 cm×8.5 cm. Among them, 16 cases were preexpanded with expanders at thorax whose rated capacity ranged from 300 to 500 mL and times of water injection of 1.8 to 3.1, and 3 cases were directly used. Twelve patients were treated by transverse carotid artery perforator flap with size ranging from 7.0 cm×4.5 cm to 11.0 cm×8.5 cm, of which 8 patients were preexpanded and 4 cases were directly used. The rated capacity of expander placed at the supraclavicular region ranged from 200 to 350 mL with times of water injection from 1.5 to 2.0. Seven patients were treated by preexpanded superficial temporal frontal branch artery perforator flap with size of 5.5 cm×3.8 cm to 8.0 cm×5.0 cm. The rated capacity of expanders placed at forehead was 150 to 300 mL with times of water injection of 1.5 to 2.0. Donor sites were directly sutured or reversely repaired by pedicled skin tube plasty. After operation, operation times and treatment time were recorded. The survival condition and complications of flaps and follow-up were observed. Results: The patients each received 1 to 4 operation (s) with treatment time of 5 to 11 months. All flaps survived after operation. Among them, three flaps with perforating branches of internal thoracic artery had slight blood circulation disturbance at the distal end and were healed after conservative dressing change, etc. Pigment changes were observed at the distal end of thoracic internal artery perforator flaps in two patients in the later stage and was resected and repaired in the second stage. The patients were followed up for 5 to 18 months. The appearance and function of operation area were good with high satisfaction of patient. Conclusions: The axial flap of adjacent artery perforator with vascular pedicle for repairing scar deformity of face and neck used directly or preexpanded can solve the problem of lack of normal skin around scar deformity without vascular anastomosis during the operation and with better appearance and function after operation. The donor site often can be directly sutured, but many operations often need to be completed for finishing whole treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the limb salvage strategies for patients with high voltage electric burns of extremities on the verge of amputation. Methods: From January 2003 to March 2019, 61 patients with high voltage electric burns of extremities on the verge of amputation were treated in our hospital. All of them were male, aged 15-58 years, including 49 cases of upper limbs and 12 cases of lower limbs. The wound area after thorough debridement ranged from 15 cm×11 cm to 35 cm×20 cm. Emergency surgery for reconstruction of the radial artery with saphenous vein graft under eschar was performed in 5 cases. The arteries of 36 patients (including 7 cases with simultaneous ulnar artery and radial artery reconstruction) were reconstructed with various forms of blood flow-through after debridement, among them, the radial artery of 13 cases, the ulnar artery of 8 cases, the brachial artery of 8 cases, and the femoral artery of 2 cases were reconstructed with saphenous vein graft; the radial artery of 3 cases and the ulnar artery of 7 cases were reconstructed with the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery graft; the radial artery of 2 cases were reconstructed with greater omentum vascular graft; the reflux vein of 3 cases with wrist and forearm annular electric burns were reconstructed with saphenous vein graft. According to the actual situation of the patients, 12 cases of latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, 6 cases of paraumbilical flap, 28 cases of anterolateral thigh flap, 10 cases of abdominal combined axial flap, 5 cases of greater omentum combined with flap and/or skin grafts were used to repair the wounds after debridement and cover the main wounds as much as possible. Some cases were filled with muscle flap in deep defect at the same time. The area of tissue flaps ranged from 10 cm×10 cm to 38 cm×22 cm. For particularly large wounds and annular wounds, the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, the paraumbilical flap, the abdominal combined axial flap, and the greater omentum combined with flap and/or skin grafts were used more often. Donor sites of three patients were closed directly, and those of 58 patients were repaired with thin and medium split-thickness skin or mesh skin grafts. The outcome of limb salvage, flap survival, and follow-up of patients in this group were recorded. Results: All the transplanted tissue flaps survived in 61 patients. Fifty-six patients had successful limb salvage, among them, 31 limbs were healed after primary surgery; 20 limbs with flap infection and tissue necrosis survived after debridement and flap sutured in situ; 5 limbs with flap infection, radial artery thrombosis, and hand blood supply crisis survived after debridement and radial artery reconstruction with saphenous vein graft. Five patients had limb salvage failure, among them, 3 patients with wrist electric burns had embolism on the distal end of the transplanted blood vessels, without condition of re-anastomosis, and the hands gradually necrotized; although the upper limb of one patient was salvaged at first, due to the extensive necrosis and infection at the distal radius and ulna and the existence of hand blood supply under flap, considering prognostic function and economic benefits, amputation was required by the patient; although the foot of one patient was salvaged at first, due to the repeated infection, sinus formation, extensive bone necrosis of foot under flap, dullness of sole and dysfunction in walking for a long time, amputation was required by the patient. During the follow-up of 6 months to 5 years, 56 patients had adequate blood supply in the salvaged limbs, satisfied appearance of flaps, and certain recovery of limb function. Conclusions: Timely revascularization, early thorough debridement, and transplantation of large free tissue flap, combined tissue flap, or blood flow-through flap with rich blood supply are the basic factors to get better limb preservation and recovery of certain functions for patients with high voltage electric burns of limbs on the verge of amputation.

Abstract
Insulin resistance (IR) is a fundamental pathogenic factor shared by a myriad of metabolic disorders, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. The mechanism of IR is usually accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction. Irisin has been proposed to act as a hormone in the regulation of energy homeostasis and metabolism. However, the effects of irisin on IR and mitochondrial function have not yet been fully investigated. Here, our research shows that irisin increases glucose uptake in C2C12 myoblast cells via the p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-PGC-1α pathway. Irisin can also enhance mitochondrial function and mitochondrial respiration. Moreover, irisin stimulates autophagy via PGC-1α. Collectively, these data provide basic evidence to support the therapeutic potential of irisin for IR, which may rely on p38-MAPK-PGC-1α pathway activation and enhance mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the effects between hybrid surgery and transabdominal preperitoneal surgery in treatment of irreducible inguinal hernia. Methods: A total of 60 patients who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair between June 2011 and December 2017 were included in the study. Patients were divided into two group: hybrid surgery group (observation group, n=30) and transabdominal preperitoneal group (control group, n=30). The operation time, intraoperative bleeding, hospital stay, hospital cost and complications were analyzed. Results: The operative time of observation group and control group was 45 (35-65) minutes and 50(35-70) minutes, respectively. Intraoperative blood loss of two groups was 10(5-15) ml and 5(2-10) ml. The length of postoperative hospital stay was 2(1-4) days and 2(1-3) days in the two groups, respectively. And the hospitalization cost of two groups was 9 646 (9 066-11 560) yuan and 9 494(8 989-10 660) yuan, respectively. The intraoperative complications occurred in 4 cases in control group, including 1 case of vas deferens injury, 2 cases of spermatic vessel injury and 1 case of inferior epigastric artery injury. No intraoperative complications occurred in observation group. Perioperative complications in observation group and control group included dysuria (6.7% vs 10.0%), scrotum hematoma (3.4% vs 0%), wound pain (46.7% vs 6.7%) and fever (16.7% vs 20.0%). Twelve months of follow-up was completed in all the patients, and no recurrence or infections occurred in the two groups. The incidence of seroma in observation group and control group was 26.7%, 33.3%, respectively. One case of foreign body sensation and one case of chronic pain occurred in control group. The incidence of perioperative wound pain in patients undergoing hybrid surgery was higher than those undergoing transabdominal preperitoneal surgery (P<0.05), but no statistical differences were observed for other variables between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Hybrid surgery is safe and feasible for the treatment of irreducible inguinal hernia. Though with a higher incidence of postoperative acute pain, it may have advantages of avoiding injuries of the vas deferens and spermatic vessels.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical effects of perforator flaps in the reconstruction of hypertrophic scar contracture deformities in the large joints of extremities after severe burns. Methods: From January 2008 to January 2018, 72 patients (53 males and 19 females, aged 5 to 63 years) with hypertrophic scar contracture deformities and functional disorder in the large joints of extremities after severe burns were admitted to the Department of Burns of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. Scar hyperplasia and contracture deformity were located at shoulder joints of 28 patients, elbow joints of 15 patients, hip joints of 7 patients, knee joints of 17 patients, and ankle joints of 5 patients. The wound area of patients after the scars were excised and released ranged from 7 cm×6 cm to 34 cm×12 cm. The wounds were repaired with corresponding unexpanded perforator flaps or expanded perforator flaps according to the joint location and existing soft tissue conditions. The size of flaps ranged from 7 cm×6 cm to 35 cm×14 cm. The donor sites of 51 patients were sutured directly; the donor sites of 21 patients were repaired by segmented grafts or mesh grafts. The adopted surgeries, the survival of flaps after surgery, and the functional recovery of the joints during follow-up were recorded. Results: Among the 72 patients, 53 patients had perforator flap repairing surgery only; 19 patients had perforator flap repairing surgery and skin grafting. Among them, 12 patients had expanded perforator flaps, 60 patients had unexpanded perforator flaps. The perforator flaps were performed free transplantation in 9 patients, pedicled transplantation in 61 patients, and groin transplantation in 2 patients. At last, 67 flaps survived completely, while 5 flaps had distal-end necrosis which were healed after dressing change or skin grafting after debridement. During follow-up of 6 months to 3 years, the joint function of all the patients was obviously improved. The abduction angles of shoulder joints were over 110°; the hip, knee, and elbow joints could reach the straight position, and the flexion was normal; the foot drop deformity was corrected, and the appearance of flaps was good with obvious extension compared with the original state. Conclusions: Perforator flaps are suitable for reconstruction of hypertrophic scar contracture deformities in the large joints of extremities of patients after severe burns. They can restore the joint function to the greatest extent as well as repair the wounds.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze effects of cooperation between physicians in department of burn surgery and department of intensive care medicine on rescue and treatment of severe mass burn patients involved in August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident. Methods: On August 2nd, 2014, 15 extremely severe burn patients involved in August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident were admitted to temporary burn treatment center established in Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. The 15 patients were equally divided into 3 groups, with 5 patients in each group. Fifteen surgeons and 30 nurses from department of burn surgery and 15 physicians and 30 nurses from department of intensive care medicine from different hospitals in China were divided into 3 groups, with 5 physicians and 10 nurses from department of burn surgery and 5 physicians and 10 nurses from department of intensive care medicine in each group. Each group of physicians and nurses were responsible for treatment of 5 patients. Treatment of patients was leaded by surgeons from department of burn surgery, who were responsible for wound dealing and operation. Physicians from department of intensive care medicine were responsible for systemic treatment and adjustment of relevant equipment's parameters. Volume of fluid infusion and urine output in shock period, severe systemic complication during period of treatment, using time and kind of antibiotics, death in 1 month after admission, length of hospital stay, and survival of patients were monitored. Results: Volume of fluid infusion of 15 extremely severe burn patients within the first 24 hours post injury was 10 360-17 162 (12 998±1 811) mL, including (1.62±0.23) mL·% total body surface area (TBSA)(-1)·kg(-1) electrolyte and colloid and (2 850±232) mL glucose, with electrolyte and colloid ratio of (1.76±0.23)∶1.00. Volume of urine output within the first 24 hours post injury was (2 384±1 242) mL, with (99±52) mL in each hour. Volume of fluid infusion of 15 extremely severe burn patients within the second 24 hours post injury was 8 720-11 616 (9 406±1 277) mL, including (1.04±0.22) mL·%TBSA(-1)·kg(-1) electrolyte and colloid and (2 910±187) mL glucose, with electrolyte and colloid ratio of (1.53±0.31)∶1.00. Volume of urine output within the second 24 hours post injury of patients was (2 299±1 362) mL , with (108±61) mL in each hour. One patient had pulmonary infection, and 7 patients had fungal infection, and no patient had gut microbiota dysbiosis. Patients were treated with combined 2 kinds of antibiotics for 21-85 (50±16) d. No patient died within 1 month after admission. The length of hospital stay was 53-132 (98±44) d. Ten patients survived finally. Conclusions: After being treated by cooperation between physicians in department of burn surgery and department of intensive care medicine, severe mass burn patients involved in August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident had hemodynamic stability and could stably experience shock period, with less complication, shorter length of hospital stay, no death within 1 month after admission, more survived patients, which can provide reference for rescue and treatment of severe mass burn patients.

Abstract
Objective: To explore experience of wound treatment of extremely severe mass burn patients involved in August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident. Methods: On August 2nd, 2014, 98 extremely severe burn mass patients involved in August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident were admitted to 20 hospitals in China. The patients with complete medical record were enrolled in the study and divided into microskin graft group with 56 patients and Meek skin graft group with 42 patients. Split-thickness skin in area of residual skin were resected to repair wounds of patients in microskin graft group and Meek skin graft group by microskin grafting and Meek miniature skin grafting, respectively. The residual wound size on 28 days post injury and wound infection after skin grafting of patients in the two groups, and position of donor site of all patients were retrospectively analyzed. Data were processed with t test and chi-square test. Results: The size of residual wound of patients in Meek skin graft group on 28 days post injury was (59±13)% total body surface area (TBSA), which was obviously smaller than that in microskin graft group [(70±14)%TBSA, t=4.379, P<0.05]. Twenty-nine patients in microskin graft group and 11 patients in Meek skin graft group suffered from obvious wound infection after skin grafting. Wounds of patients in two groups were repaired with residual skin around wound in head, trunk, groin, armpit, and uncommon donor sites of scrotum (4 patients), vola (10 patients), and toe or finger web (8 patients). Conclusions: Meek skin graft is the first choice for wound repair of extremely severe burn mass patients, with faster wound healing, less wound infection. Uncommon donor sites of scrotum, vola, and toe or finger web can also be used for wound repair in case of lack of skin.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of AKT1 deSUMOylation induced by Ubc9 silencing on the proliferation and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Methods: The Ubc9 gene was silenced using RNA interference, and the expression levels of Ubc9, SUMO1 and AKT1 protein were detected by Western blot. Cell proliferation and cell cycle was analyzed by MTT and flow cytometry. Wound healing and transwell assays were used to detect the cell migration ability. Furthermore, the xenograft model was established, and tumor growth curves were drawn. The in situ apoptotic rates was measured using TUNEL Apoptosis Assay. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. Results: Knockdown of Ubc9 gene significantly decreased the protein expression levels of Ubc9, conjugated SUMO1, free SUMO1 and AKT1 in HCC cells (P<0.05 for all). In control, siR-neg and siR-Ubc9 groups, the cell proliferation indexes were 53.19%, 54.25% and 39.17%, respectively. Moreover, cell migration distance and migrating cells per low power field for all these three groups were (59.47±4.66) μm and 89.44±8.36, (56.56±5.37) μm and 93.84±8.79, as well as (34.57±6.61) μm and 41.67±5.39, respectively. In the xenograft model, the weights of subcutaneous tumors for these three groups were (3.78±0.69) g, (3.72±0.72) g and (2.09±0.61) g, respectively. The corresponding apoptotic cell rates were (7.79±2.21)%, (6.45±2.48)% and (33.59±5.44)%, respectively. The expression levels of PCNA, MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein were significantly decreased in siR-Ubc9 group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Ubc9 silencing in HCC cells induces AKT1 deSUMOylation, and then inhibits the proliferation and metastasis. These results provide a new therapeutic strategy for liver cancer in the future.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of flow-through descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery flap on repairing high-voltage electrical burn wounds of wrist of patients. Methods: From January 2014 to June 2016, 5 patients with high-voltage electrical burn of unilateral wrist were hospitalized in our burn ward, with extensive necrosis of skin soft tissue of burn wrist. Five patients were transferred to our burn ward 6 to 12 days post injury after undergoing emergency dermotomy of wrist to reduce tension in other hospitals. In 2 to 3 days after admission, operation was performed by two surgeon group at the same time, when patients' general condition were stable. One group underwent debridement and the other group designed and dissected flap according to the range of skin soft tissue defect of wrist. Wrist wounds after debridement ranged from 15 cm×10 cm to 24 cm×15 cm. Three patients were treated with flow-through descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery flap and great saphenous vein for repairing wounds of wrist and reconstruction of ulnar and radial artery. Two patients were treated with flow-through descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery flap for repairing wounds of wrist and reconstruction of ulnar artery. The dissected flaps ranged from 16 cm×12 cm to 26 cm×16 cm and the length of bridging vessel ranged from 15 to 21 cm. Results: The flow-through descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery flaps of five patients survived well. Wounds of 4 patients healed and wounds of 1 patient with infection under the flap on 3 days after operation healed after changing wound dressing and undergoing debridement for 2 weeks. After the operation, wrists and hands of 5 patients had adequate blood supply and ulnar and radial artery recovered patency. Follow-up of patients for 6 months to 1 year showed good flap appearance and adequate blood supply of burn hands. Conclusions: The flow-through descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery flap can repair wrist wounds and recover blood supply of hands and it is a good method for repairing high-voltage electrical burns of wrist.

Abstract
In this work, bimetallic Bi/Pt nanoparticles in bovine serum albumin biomolecular scaffold (BSA-Bi/PtNPs) were synthesized through a facile and green method. As compared with BSA-PtNPs, the BSA-Bi/PtNPs possess enhanced peroxidase-like catalytic activity. Moreover, the BSA-Bi/PtNPs are stable in harsh conditions such as high temperature, extreme pH environments, and high ionic strength, as well as in common biological matrixes. These prominent advantages enable the BSA-Bi/PtNPs to be applied to a wide range of fields. Bioassays, such as serum glucose detection, extracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) monitor, and cancer cells labeling, have been realized with satisfying results. The linear range of glucose determination was from 1 to 100 μM and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.2 μM. The H2O2 released from each MCF-7 cell after stimulation was calculated to be 2.66 × 10-16 mol/s. By utilizing folic acid as a recognition element, tumor cell could be readily distinguished by BSA-Bi/PtNPs and the LOD for MCF-7 cell detection was 90 cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the surgical techniques and the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) for recurrent inguinal hernia. METHODS Clinical data of 367 patients with recurrent inguinal hernia who underwent TAPP repair from Mar. 2009 to Mar. 2015 in Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital of Capital Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Laparoscopic operations were completed successfully in 365 cases, however, 2 cases were converted to open surgery.The operation time was (55.7±19.3) min (30-100 min) and the hospital stay was (4.9±2.7) d (2-12 d). The incidences of postoperative pain, hydrocele, and urinary retention were 4.1%(15/367), 13.1%(48/367), and 1.3%(5/367) respectively.Other complications such as foreign body sensation, wound infection, and intestinal obstruction.All cases were followed up from 3 to 72 months ((36.5±14.7) months), 2 recurrent cases was observed and no mesh infection and long-term chronic pain were observed. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic TAPP repair has advantages of minimal invasion and few complications, which is safe and effective for recurrent inguinal hernia.

Abstract
Asian foxtail (Uraria crinita (L.) Desv. ex DC.) is an herb cultivated for the use of roots and stems in Taiwanese cuisine. In September 2013, symptoms of leaf blight and basal rot were observed on U. crinita in a commercial field in Longjing District, Taichung, Taiwan, at an incidence of approximately 20%. White mycelia and brown sclerotia formed on the surfaces of the basal stems. The infected plant gradually wilted and eventually died. Diseased lower stem tissues were surface sterilized in 0.6% NaOCl, rinsed with sterile distilled water, and transferred to potato dextrose agar plates. The cultures were incubated at 25°C in the dark. The radial mycelial growth was 9.0 mm/day during the first 4 days, and the diameter of mature sclerotia was 1.76 mm following 3 weeks of incubation. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence of the isolate was amplified by PCR using the primers ITS5 and ITS4 (2). The amplicon was cloned, sequenced, and deposited in GenBank (Accession No. KJ677121). The sequence similarity was 99% compared with that of Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. from Spain (GU080230) (1). Based on the characteristics, the fungus was identified as S. rolfsii. The fungal isolate (BCRC FU30230) was deposited in the Bioresource Collection and Research Center, Hsinchu, Taiwan. Pathogenicity tests were conducted on six 2-month-old potted U. crinita plants in a greenhouse. Prior to infesting the plant, fungal inoculum of S. rolfsii BCRC FU30230 was prepared by inoculating the isolate on autoclaved rice (rice/water/dextrose = 50:50:1) in a flask. After 20 days incubation at room temperature, rice colonized by S. rolfsii was placed near the base of the plants (approximately 30 g/plant) in the greenhouse. Sterile rice applied to an equal number of plants served as negative controls. All inoculated plants developed blight symptoms with mycelia and sclerotia produced near the bases of each seedling 1 week after inoculation at an average temperature of 26°C. The control plants remained healthy. The pathogen re-isolated from the inoculated plants was morphologically identical to the original isolate. The pathogenicity test was repeated by inoculated healthy plants with reduced inoculum (five granules/plant). A delay of symptom development was observed and similar results were obtained. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Sclerotium rot on U. crinita in Taiwan, and the first report on U. crinita as a host for S. rolfsii. References: (1) E. Remesal et al.

Abstract
In February 2013, single and double flowered impatiens (Impatiens walleriana Hook. f.) affected by downy mildew were observed in nurseries (cv. Accent) and in the wild in central Taiwan. More than 90% of the plants were infected in areas where the disease broke out. Symptomatic leaves showed yellowing, with white, fungal-like structure covering the lower leaf surfaces, causing the plants to become wilted and defoliated. Under microscopic observation, hyaline, thin-walled sporangiophores branched monopodially and had slightly swollen bases. Three apical branchlets were at right angles to the main axis, measuring 4.3-15.0 μm (average 8.5 μm). Sporangia were hyaline, ovoid, with an average length and width of 14.2 (10.0 to 18.0) × 12.1 (9.3 to 15.0) μm. For molecular categorization, PCR amplification of the 5' end of the large ribosomal subunit gene was performed with primers NL1 and NL4 (2). The amplicons were cloned, sequenced, and deposited in GenBank (Accession Nos. KC905620 and KC905621). The sequence similarities were 99% compared with that of Plasmopara obducens (J. Schröt.) J. Schröt from Florida (JX217746) (3). Based on morphological and molecular characters, the pathogen was identified as P. obducens. Three voucher specimens (TNM Nos. F0026644, F0026645, and F0026646) were deposited in the herbarium of the National Museum of Natural Science, Taichung, Taiwan. Pathogenicity was confirmed by inoculation of five young, potted impatiens plants with a suspension containing 1 × 105 sporangia/ml in 0.05% Tween 20 (approximately 8 ml/plant). An additional five plants sprayed with 0.05% Tween 20 served as negative controls. The plants were maintained in an outdoor ambient environment. After 2 weeks incubation at an average temperature of 20°C and approximately 80% relative humidity, the inoculated plants exhibited typical downy mildew symptoms, while the control plants remained healthy. The pathogenicity test was repeated in a dew chamber under 20°C with similar results. In the Asia-Pacific region, impatiens downy mildew was recently confirmed in Korea and Japan (1,4). To our knowledge, this is the first report of downy mildew on impatiens in Taiwan. Our further surveys indicated the disease has spread to other parts of the island and will become a potential problem requiring prevention. References: (1) Y. J. Choi et. al. Plant Pathol.

Abstract
Genome sequence analysis of Streptomyces sp. LZ35 has revealed a large number of secondary metabolite pathways, including a complete gene cluster for the biosynthesis of cyclooctatin. This cluster contains four genes, cotB1-4, located in a 5-kb region. Optimization of fermentation medium for LZ35Δheng (SR107) led to the identification of cyclooctatin (1) and 16,17-dihydroxycyclooctatin (2), a new diterpene. The structures of these substances were elucidated on the basis of 1D-, 2D-NMR, and HRESIMS data. Cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 and A549 cell lines was also evaluated. Results demonstrated that gene cluster and pathway analysis are key to guided isolation of new natural products.

Abstract
Prunus salicina Lindl., also known as Japanese plum, is a temperate-zone fruit tree grown in mountainous areas of Taiwan. The planted area in Taiwan is approximately 3,000 ha. In June 2011, more than 20% of plum fruits harvested in an orchard in Lishan (elevation about 2,000 m) showed black, mostly circular, sunken necrotic lesions. Leaves with a shot-hole appearance and cankered branches were found when investigating the orchard. Bacteria were isolated from symptomatic fruits, leaves, and branches. Isolation on nutrient agar detected colonies that were yellow, mucoid, gram-negative, Xanthomonas-like, and induced hypersensitive responses on tomatoes. Three voucher isolates, BCRC80476, BCRC80478, and BCRC80481, obtained from the fruit, leaf, and branch, respectively, were deposited in the Bioresource Collection and Research Center, Hsinchu, Taiwan. Molecular analyses were conducted for species identification. Sequences of the gyrB gene of the three voucher isolates (GenBank Accession Nos. KC202288, KC202289, and KC202287) were 100% identical to that of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni pathotype strain ICMP51 (2). In addition, DNA fragments of the xopE3 gene (an X. arboricola pv. pruni specific T3E gene, approximately 381 bp) were PCR amplified using the primer pair fw-5'CCGACATTGCCGTCAGCGATCACG3' and rv-5'AGCGTTCTTGGGTGTGTTGAGCATTTG3' (1). The bacterial isolates were identified as X. arboricola pv. pruni on the basis of the colony characteristics, sequence homology, and the specific PCR assay. Pathogenicity was confirmed by inoculation of greenhouse-potted P. salicina plants with strains BCRC80476, BCRC80478, and BCRC80481 using bacterial suspensions (6.7 × 108 CFU per ml) in 0.01% Tween 20. Five plants were evenly sprayed with inoculum of each bacterial isolate and covered with plastic bags for 3 days. One week post inoculation, at an average temperature of 19°C, the 15 inoculated plants produced brown-purple spots delimited by a chlorotic margin on the leaves. Three weeks post inoculation, the necrotic leaf spots completely deteriorated, leaving a shot-hole appearance, and the branches showed lesions similar to those observed in the fields. The pathogen was reisolated from the symptomatic tissues, fulfilling Koch's postulates. Control plants sprayed with 0.01% Tween 20 remained symptomless. To our knowledge, this is the first record of X. arboricola pv. pruni causing bacterial spot on P. salicina in Taiwan. References: (1) A. Hajri et al. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 78:371, 2012. (2) J.

Abstract
DNA topoisomerase II (TOP2) is a well-known anticancer target. Its inhibitors are among the most effective anticancer drugs currently in clinical use. TOP2-targeting agents fall into two major classes of "Topo poisons" and "Topo inhibitors" based on their mechanisms of action. Mammalian cells possess two genetically distinct TOP2 isoforms, TOP2α and TOP2β, that are differentially regulated and play different roles in living cells. Compared to TOP2β, TOP2α may be an efficacious and safe chemotherapeutic target for cancer treatment. This review discusses the advantage of targeting TOP2α over TOP2β and action of various agents on TOP2α.

Abstract
Geranium nepalense Sweet is a common Chinese herbal medicine and has been used as influenza, dysentery, antiphlogistic and analgesic tonic, hemostatic, stomachic, and antidiabetic drugs. The anti-inflammatory effects of G. nepalense on tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA)-induced mouse ear edema were studied in this work. The results showed that ethyl acetate fraction of the water extract of G. nepalense possessed significant activity at 2.5 g/kg (p < 0.01) with aspirin as a positive control (0.6 g/kg). Six polyphenolic compounds, including three flavonoids, i.e. kaempferol, kaempferol-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, and quercetin-7-O-α-rhamnopyranoside, and two tannins, i.e. pyrogallol and gallic acid, and one lignin, i.e. epipinoresinol, were isolated and characterized from ethyl acetate fraction. The isolation of polyphenols provides a clue for beneficial effects of G. nepalense in the demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity.

Abstract
Eustoma (Eustoma russellianum) is an economically important cut flower in Taiwan. Each year more than 1.7 million dozen flowers, mainly exported to Japan in the winter, are produced in greenhouses. In January 2011, eustoma plants with stem and leaf blight symptoms were observed in some greenhouses in Changhua County, Taiwan, at an incidence of 2%. Brown and rotten lesions were presented on the stem and nearby leaves, with white mycelia growing on the surface and black sclerotia (up to 7 mm long) produced inside the stem. Infected plants were completely blighted and eventually died. Diseased stem tissues collected from the field were surface sterilized for 3 min in 0.6% NaOCl, rinsed with sterilized distilled water, and plated on potato dextrose agar. White fungal colonies were consistently isolated. The cultures produced large sclerotia at the peripheries of the plates. Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of two voucher isolates were determined and deposited in GenBank (Accession Nos. JQ653934 and JQ653935). The sequences were 100% identical to that of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum strain ATCC MYA-4521 (Accession No. FJ810516). In addition, PCR amplified DNA fragments (approximately 630 bp) were obtained by the S. sclerotiorum specific primer pair MP_SsF and MP_UniR (1). On the basis of morphology, ITS sequence homology, and the specific PCR detection, the fungus was identified as S. sclerotiorum. The two fungal isolates (BCRC34830 and BCRC34831) were deposited in Bioresource Collection and Research Center, Hsinchu, Taiwan. Pathogenicity tests were conducted on 1-month-old, second flush eustoma cultivars Ex Rosa Pink Flash and Rosina Blue Ver. 2 after primary flowers had been harvested in the greenhouse. Fungal inoculum consisting of Tref horticultural substrate and wet sterilized rice colonized by S. sclerotiorum BCRC34830 (substrate-rice-water ratio of 2:1:1) was placed near the base of the plants. Ten plants of each cultivar were inoculated with about 800 g of the mixture. Sterile mixture applied to an equal number of plants served as negative controls. Eight plants of each cultivar showed blight symptoms after 1 month of incubation at an average temperature of 26°C. All control plants remained healthy. The pathogen reisolated from the inoculated stems produced sclerotia identical to those isolated in the field, fulfilling Koch's postulates. The pathogenicity test was repeated with similar results. S. sclerotiorum has been reported on eustoma in Argentina (2). To our knowledge, this is the first report of Sclerotinia blight on eustoma in Taiwan. Although the disease was not prevalent on eustoma, the inoculum could be dormant in the greenhouse soil. Awareness of the potential perennial problem could increase the quality of the flowers exported and benefit the flower industry. References: (1) S. Hirschhäuser and J. Fröhlich. Int. J.

Abstract
Gynura bicolor (Roxb. ex Willd.) DC., known as Okinawa spinach or hong-feng-cai, is a commonly consumed vegetable in Asian countries. In May 2010, plants with blight and wilt symptoms were observed in commercial vegetable farms in Changhua, Taiwan. Light brown-to-black blight lesions developed from the top of the stems to the petioles and extended to the base of the leaves. Severely infected plants declined and eventually died. Disease incidence was approximately 20%. Samples of symptomatic tissues were surface sterilized in 0.6% NaOCl and plated on water agar. A Phytophthora sp. was consistently isolated and further plated on 10% unclarified V8 juice agar, with daily radial growths of 7.6, 8.6, 5.7, and 2.4 mm at 25, 30, 35, and 37°C, respectively. Four replicates were measured for each temperature. No hyphal growth was observed at 39°C. Intercalary hyphal swellings and proliferating sporangia were produced in culture plates flooded with sterile distilled water. Sporangia were nonpapillate, obpyriform to ellipsoid, base tapered or rounded, and 43.3 (27.5 to 59.3) × 27.6 (18.5 to 36.3) μm. Clamydospores and oospores were not observed. Oospores were present in dual cultures with an isolate of P. nicotianae (p731) (1) A2 mating type, indicating that the isolate was heterothallic. A portion of the internal transcribed spacer sequence was deposited in GenBank (Accession No. HQ717146). The sequence was 99% identical to that of P. drechsleri SCRP232 (ATCC46724) (3), a type isolate of the species. The pathogen was identified as P. drechsleri Tucker based on temperature growth, morphological characteristics, and ITS sequence homology (3). To evaluate pathogenicity, the isolated P. drechsleri was inoculated on greenhouse-potted G. bicolor plants. Inoculum was obtained by grinding two dishes of the pathogen cultured on potato dextrose agar (PDA) with sterile distilled water in a blender. After filtering through a gauze layer, the filtrate was aliquoted to 240 ml. The inoculum (approximately 180 sporangia/ml) was sprayed on 24 plants of G. bicolor. An equal number of plants treated with sterile PDA processed in the same way served as controls. After 1 week, incubation at an average temperature of 29°C, blight and wilt symptoms similar to those observed in the fields appeared on 12 inoculated plants. The pathogen was reisolated from the lesions of diseased stems and leaves, fulfilling Koch's postulates. The controls remained symptomless. The pathogenicity test was repeated once with similar results. G. bicolor in Taiwan has been recorded to be infected by P. cryptogea (1,2), a species that resembles P. drechsleri. The recorded isolates of P. cryptogea did not have a maximal growth temperature at or above 35°C (1,2), a distinctive characteristic to discriminate between the two species (3). To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. drechsleri being associated with stem and foliar blight of G. bicolor. References: (1) P. J. Ann. Plant Pathol. Bull. 5:146, 1996. (2) H. H. Ho et al.

Abstract
Asian pear tree (Pyrus pyrifolia) is an important fruit crop in Asian countries. Between the autumn of 2008 and the summer of 2009, stem cankers and twig diebacks of Asian pear trees were observed in middle Taiwan. Necrotic lesions extending from branch scars progressed with age, resulting in darkened vascular discoloration. Two cultivars of Asian pear, Taichung No. 2 grown in Changhwa County and Heng-shan grown in Taichung County, showed the same symptoms. Disease incidence increased rapidly after a rain or storm event, eventually exceeding 50%. Pycnidia on severely infected branches contained one-celled, fusiform to ellipsoidal, smooth- and thin-walled hyaline conidia, with an average length (L) and width (W) of 19.1 (11.3 to 24.8) × 5.9 (4.5 to 8.0) μm and a L/W ratio of 3.2 (n = 44). Diseased branch tissues collected from the two locations were surface sterilized in 0.6% NaOCl, rinsed with water, and plated on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Fungal isolates, recovered from both locations, produced white, aerial mycelium and became dull gray within a week after incubating plates at 25°C. To confirm the identities of the isolates, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions amplified with primers ITS1/ITS4 were deposited in GenBank (Accession Nos. GU395186 and GU395187). Both of the sequences were 99% identical to that of Neofusicoccum parvum (Accession No. EU882162) over a 534-bp alignment. Thus, both morphological and molecular characters confirmed this species as N. parvum (3), reported as the anamorph of Botryosphaeria parva (1). The two voucher isolates (BCRC34605 and BCRC34609) were deposited in Bioresource Collection and Research Center, Hsinchu, Taiwan. Pathogenicity tests were first conducted on 2-year-old greenhouse-potted Asian pear trees utilizing N. parvum isolate BCRC34605. Ten plants of the cv. Mi-li were stem wounded with a 5-mm cork borer at a depth of 2 mm. Inoculation consisted of inserting 5-mm mycelium plugs of the pathogen into the wounds and wrapping with Parafilm. Sterile PDA plugs applied to an equal number of plants with the same methods served as the controls. After 2 months incubation at an average temperature of 21°C, all inoculated plants exhibited necrotic lesions with a mean length of 23.5 mm and the control plants remained symptomless. The pathogen was reisolated from lesions of inoculated stems, thus fulfilling Koch's postulates. Pathogenicity tests were repeated by inoculating the other N. parvum isolate (BCRC34609) on pear cv. Taichung No. 2, resulting in similar results. N. parvum has been reported causing dieback and canker in a wide range of fruit trees, including grapevine (4) and mango trees (2). To our knowledge, this is the first report of N. parvum associated with stem canker and dieback on Asian pear trees. In addition, this is a newly recorded species for the mycobiota of Taiwan.

Abstract
Mung bean sprouts (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek) are a commonly consumed vegetable in Asian countries. Anthracnose lesions on mung bean sprouts (cv. You-lu-dou from Mayamar) were found in an indoor sprouting facility in Taichung County, Taiwan in May of 2009. The incidence of disease exceeded 90% in some lots. Infected hypocotyls had smooth, diamond-shaped to fusiform brown spots, which became further depressed and enlarged with age. A fungus was isolated on potato dextrose agar (PDA) from symptomatic hypocotyls after surface sterilization in 0.6% NaOCl. Fungal colonies were initially salmon to orange in color and became greenish gray on the surface within a week. Setae were not produced in acervuli that developed on PDA. Conidia in the acervuli were one-celled, cylindrical, and hyaline with an average length and width of 14.8 (7.0 to 23.7) × 4.9 (3.3 to 6.7) μm (n = 53). The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region was amplified with primers ITS1 and ITS4 (4). The sequence was deposited in GenBank (Accession No. GQ889269). The sequence was 99% identical to that of ATCC 56816 strain of Glomerella acutata (Guerber & J. C. Correll), the teleomorph of Colletotrichum acutatum (J. H. Simmonds) over a 522-bp alignment. Thus, the mung bean pathogen was identified as C. acutatum based on morphological (1) and molecular characters. Pathogenicity of the strain was determined by inoculating mung bean seeds from I-Mei Foods Co. (imported from Australia). The seeds were disinfested in 0.6% NaOCl for 10 min, rinsed with sterile distilled water twice, and immersed in a conidial suspension (1.5 × 104 conidia/ml) of C. acutatum for 10 min. Fifteen inoculated seeds were placed on moistened paper towels, distributed into three flasks, and stored in the dark at 32°C. Symptoms similar to those observed on the original sprouts appeared 3 days later on the hypocotyls of the seedlings and all seedlings were infected by day five. Conidia of C. acutatum were produced on all lesions and colonies of C. acutatum were recovered from symptomatic tissues, fulfilling Koch's postulates. Controls (seed immersed in water) remained symptomless. The pathogenicity test was repeated with similar results. The pathogen has been recorded on mung bean sprouts in Korea (2) and on other Vigna spp. in India (3). To our knowledge, this is the first report of sprout rot of mung bean caused by C. acutatum in Taiwan. References: (1) B. J. Dyko and J. E. M. Mordue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the frequency of JAK2V617F mutation in Chinese patients with chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and to study the relationship between JAK2V617F mutation and clinical characteristics. METHODS JAK2V617F mutation was screened by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR). RESULTS JAK2V617F mutation was detected in 277 of the 412 patients with MPN. The frequency of JAK2V617F mutation was similar among essential thrombocythemia (ET), idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF) and chronic myeloproliferative disorders-unclassified (MPD-U) (P > 0.05), but it was significantly lower than that in polycythemia vera (PV) (P < 0.05). The presence of JAK2V617F was found to be significantly correlative with advanced age at diagnosis (P < 0.01) and with higher hemoglobin levels and higher leukocyte counts (P < 0.05). Significant difference was found in complication of vascular events between JAK2V617 positive and negative patients (P < 0.05). JAK2V617F positive MPD-U patients were more prone to progress into typical MPN compared with JAK2V617F negative MPD-U patients. The association between abnormal karyotype and JAK2V617F was not found in cytogenetical analysis of 301 patients. CONCLUSION The presence of JAK2V617F in MPD-U is associated with the disease development. There is a correlation between JAK2V617F mutation in MPN and advanced age, higher leukocyte counts, hemoglobin level and vascular events.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify the frequency and types of JAK2V617F mutation in chinese patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET), to quantitatively detect the level of mutation transcripts and to investigate its clinical significance. The frequency and types of JAK2V617F mutation were detected by amplification-refractory mutation sequencing polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR), the transcript level of JAK2V617F mutation was determined by using capillary electrophoresis. The results indicated that the JAK2V617F mutation was detected in 59 out of 98 patient with ET, 18 of whom were homozygous mutation. The mean age of patients with homozygous and heterozygous mutation was higher than that of patients with wild type mutation (p < 0.05). The quantitative assay using capillary electrophoresis showed that the transcript level of JAK2V617F mutation in patients with homozygous mutation was (89.9 +/- 6.7)%, which was higher than that in patients with heterozygous mutation (57.1 +/- 6.7)% (p < 0.05); the transcript level of JAK2V617F mutation in patients with age < 60 years was (62.3 +/- 16.5)%, which was lower than that in patients with age > 60 years (72.4% +/- 15.8)% (p < 0.05). The rate of thrombotic complications in patients with JAK2V617F-positive was higher than that in patients with JAK2V617F-negative in which the rate of thrombotic complication in patients with homozygous mutation was higher than that in patients with heterozygous mutation (p < 0.05). Compared with patients without thrombotic events, there were higher level of transcripts of JAK2V617F mutation in patients with thrombotic events. It is concluded that the JAK2V617F positive and negative patients with ET display the different clinical features, therefore, the analysis of mutation types and detection of transcript levels not only helps to identify the disease status and progression, but also guides the treatment of ET patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the frequency and mutational status of JAK2V617F mutation in Chinese patients with chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPD) and to study the relative quantification of mutated JAK2 mRNA and the clinical significance. METHODS JAK2V617F mutation and the mutational status were screened with amplification-refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR), the relative quantification of mutated JAK2 mRNA was studied by using capillary electrophoresis. RESULTS A higher prevalence of JAK2V617F in either the heterozygote or homozygote status in essential thrombocythemia (ET) was observed in elderly patients with ET (P < 0.05). The presence of JAK2V617F was found to be significantly correlated with the age at diagnosis (P < 0.05); patients with age > or = 60 years showed significantly higher JAK2 mutated RNA levels than those with age < 60 years (P < 0.05); the presence of JAK2V617F in polycythemia vera (PV) and ET was found to be significantly associated with higher hemoglobin level and higher leukocyte count (P < 0.05). In addition, higher leukocyte count was observed in homozygous ET patients than in heterozygous ET patients (P < 0.05). The frequency of JAK2V617F mutation and the prevalence of homozygote in PV patients were higher than those in ET patients (P < 0.05). The differences of JAK2V617F mRNA levels among PV, ET and chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF) were not significant. CONCLUSIONS ARMS-PCR technique can be used to detect the frequency and mutational status of JAK2V617F mutation owing to its sensitivity and along with capillary electrophoresis, quantitative assay for mutated JAK2 mRNA, diagnosis of CMPD and judgement of prognosis become possible.

Abstract
Antiphospholipid antibodies (lupus anticoagulant, anti-cardiolipin and anti-β2-glycoprotein I antibodies, mostly IgG isotype) are strong risk factors for thrombosis. Because a paucity of information on IgA isotype exists in the literature, we retrospectively evaluated the thrombotic significance of IgA antiphospholipid antibodies. We included 472 patients with clinical information on thrombotic events and complete laboratory work-up for antiphospholipid antibodies syndrome. Odds ratios (OR) of various antiphospholipid antibodies for thrombosis were calculated by univariate and multivariate analyses. Lupus anticoagulant alone was detected in 57 (12%) patients, ELISA-based antibodies (IgG, IgM, IgA) against cardiolipin, phosphatidylserine or β2-glycoprotein-I alone were detected in 131 (28%) patients, whereas 80 (17%) patients had both. Antibody isotype distribution was IgG 32%, IgM 60% and IgA 56%. Univariate analysis showed a statistically significant risk of thrombosis in patients with elevated titres of IgA of any ELISA-based antiphospholipid antibodies (OR 1.77). Stepwise logistic regression (multivariate) analysis identified elevated titres of any ELISA-based IgA antiphospholipid antibodies as an independent risk factor for thrombosis (OR 1.6) in the entire cohort, and in the subgroup of patients without concurrent presence of lupus anticoagulant (OR 1.8). IgA antiphospholipid antibodies appear to be a significant independent risk factor for thrombosis, thereby meriting evaluation in patients with unexpected thrombosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of JAK2V617F and MPLW515L/K mutation in patients with slightly elevated platelets (BPC) or hemoglobin (Hb) not meeting the criteria of polycythemia vera (PV) or essential thrombocythemia (ET). METHODS Genomic DNA from bone marrow or blood mononuclear cells was screened with allele specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) for JAK2V617F and MPLW515L/K mutation. The history of thrombosis was assessed retrospectively by patients files. RESULTS Of 30 patients, 14 (46.7%) were positive for the JAK2V617F mutation, none of them had the MPLW515L/ K. Five of these 14 patients had a history of thrombosis. Follow-up results were available in 22 patients. Among them, 12 patients with JAK2V617F mutation turned out to be MPD in 6-24 months; only 2 out of 10 patients without this mutation evolved to MPD. CONCLUSION JAK2V617F mutation could be one of the diagnosis criteria of early MPD. No MPLW515L/K expression was found in early MPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report a case of interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). PATIENT MATERIAL The patient was a 41-year-old man with a lymph node bulging in the left neck. Laboratory examination of peripheral blood and bone marrow was abnormal. The diagnosis of IDCS was made by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. Treatment of this patient with ABVD regimen (adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) resulted in obvious improvement, but did not control the tumor infiltration. CONCLUSION IDCS has no distinctive clinical or pathohistological characteristics. Immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy are crucial in distinguishing it from other histiocytic/dendritic cell neoplasms. IDCS displays an aggressive behaviour, and the responses to chemotherapy are variable.

Abstract
A high-order splitting scheme for the advection-diffusion equation of pollutants is proposed in this paper. The multidimensional advection-diffusion equation is splitted into several one-dimensional equations that are solved by the scheme. Only three spatial grid points are needed in each direction and the scheme has fourth-order spatial accuracy. Several typically pure advection and advection-diffusion problems are simulated. Numerical results show that the accuracy of the scheme is much higher than that of the classical schemes and the scheme can be efficiently solved with little programming effort.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) stem cells require epidermal growth factor (EGF) to survive and express glial-specific proteins (GSPs) under its influence. EGF and its receptor (EGF-R) therefore are involved in gliogenesis. We hypothesize that EGF selectively modulates GSP expression in pluripotential CNS cells and this effect is dependent on the degree of EGF-R activation (i.e., the amount of both EGF and the EGF-R present). In order to explore this, we investigated the effects of EGF on the expression of glial- and neuronal-specific proteins in the pluripotential human neuroectodermal cell line, DAOY. DAOY clones expressing different EGF-R levels were treated with EGF. The expression of glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP), glutamine synthetase (GS) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) were measured by ELISA. In a clone with low EGF-R levels (clone DAOY-YS-15), EGF selectively stimulated GSPs. In cells which express twice the EGF-R level, EGF (10(-8) M) stimulated both glial and neuronal proteins nonspecifically. In cells with higher EGF-R numbers, EGF suppressed both glial and neuronal proteins. These effects were not due to the negligible growth influences of EGF on the cells. In clone DAOY-YS-15, selective GSP expression was observed as early as 2 days after exposure to EGF (10(-9) M). In these cells, GFAP induction was also shown at the transcriptional level using a quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. This suggests one mechanism for EGF action. Our findings are therefore consistent with the hypothesis that the selective induction of GSPs in pluripotent cells is dependent on the EGF-R level and the degree of EGF-R activation.

Abstract
Chemical investigation on an ethanol extract from the roots of Spiraea japonica var. acuta resulted in the isolation of three new diterpene alkaloids named spiramide (1) and spiratine A (2) and spiratine B (3). Structures of 1-3 were elucidated primarily on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore a method to repair severe radiation-induced ulcer and evaluate its clinical effects. METHODS From August 1988 to December 1998, 12 cases of severe radiation-induced ulcer were treated by muscular or musculocutaneous flap transfer, which included 1 case of pectoralis major muscular flap, 3 cases of three-lobed transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap, 2 cases of latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap, 1 case of tensor fascia lata musculocutaneous flap, 1 case of longitudinal rectus abdominis musculocutaneous and tensor fascia lata musculocutaneous flap, 1 case of gastrocnemius muscular flap, 1 case of gluteus major musculocutaneous flap, huge filleted musculocutaneous flap from lower limbs in 1 case and from upper limbs in 1 cases. RESULTS All the flaps survived. Primary healing occurred in 9 cases and secondary healing in 3 cases. The extensive multiple ulcers in 2 cases were repaired with filleted limb musculocutaneous flap, and patients were saved. And in other 3 cases, the chest wall defect as the result of radionecrosis were repaired with simultaneous breast reconstruction. CONCLUSION Muscular or musculocutaneous flaps have abundant blood supply, they are ideal tissue to fill the cavity and repair the defect, especially in repairing severe radiation-induced ulcers.
