Objective To explore the relationship between serum miRNA-21 and miR-27b levels and prognosis of patients with renal clear cell carcinoma. Methods A total of 118 patients with renal clear cell carcinoma admitted to the Qinghai University Hospital from February 2019 to April 2021 were selected as the study subjects, and another 118 healthy patients in the same period as the control group. Real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction ( PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-21 and miR-27b in the serum of all subjects. The relative expression levels of serum miR-21 and miR-27b between the patients with renal clear cell carcinoma and healthy control patients were compared. The expression and correlation of serum miR-21 and miR-27b in the patients with renal clear cell carcinoma of different pathological stages and Fuhrman grading were analyzed. The relationship between the expression of serum miR-21 and miR-27b and the survival and prognosis of the patients was explored as well. Results The expression levels of serum miR-21 and miR-27b in the patients with renal clear cell carcinoma were higher than those in the healthy control group (P < 0.05). The serum miR-21 expression level in stage IE patients was higher than in stage I (P < 0.05), while the serum miR-21 expression level in the stage IV patients was higher than that in stages I, II, and IE (P < 0.05). The expression level of miR-27b in the serum of patients gradually increased across the four stages, with a significant difference (P < 0.05). The pathological staging was positively correlated with the expression of miR-21 and miR-27b (P < 0.001). The expression levels of miR-21 and miR-27b in serum of patients gradually increased across grades I, E and IE by Fuhrman grading, with significant difference (P < 0.05). Fuhrman grading was positively correlated with the serum miR-21 and miR-27b expression (P < 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference in the survival curve between the miR-21 high expression group and the low expression group ( P < 0.05 ) . There was a statistically significant difference in the survival curve between the high expression group and the low expression group of miR-27b (P < 0.05). Conclusion The expression levels of serum miR-21 and miR-27b in patients with renal clear cell carcinoma is indicative of the progression and prognosis of the patient's condition.

Introduction: Tibial osteomyelitis is a common complication of bone tissue trauma. Obtaining good soft tissue coverage and effective infection management is key to the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia accompanied with bone defect and bone exposure. The pedicled posterior tibial artery perforator layered fasciocutaneous flap can be used to repair soft tissue defects and can be used as a long-term, localized anti-infective., Case Report: A 54-year-old male presented with an ulcer, purulent discharge at the left anterior tibia, and a fever 28 years after complete healing of the scar site. The patient received debridement and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in a hospital setting. After presenting to the authors' department, there was difficulty in closing the exposed bone marrow cavity. On the basis of systemic use of intravenous antibiotics, multiple debridements and NPWT were used to effectively remove necrotic tissue and control infection. Afterward, the pedicled posterior tibial artery perforator layered fasciocutaneous flap was designed to fill the bone marrow cavity as well as cover and seal the wound of bone exposure and soft tissue defect simultaneously. The layered fasciocutaneous flap was well established after operation, and no recurrence of osteomyelitis was found., Conclusion: Debridement with negative pressure wound therapy can be an effective treatment for the wound bed preparation in advance of surgery, and the pedicled posterior tibial artery perforator layered fasciocutaneous flap can be used for the treatment of several soft tissue defects.

Objective: To explore the mechanism of hypertonic salt solution (HS) alleviates lung injury of rats at the early stage of severe scald., Methods: Thirty-two female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned to sham group, lactated Ringer solution (LR) group, HS200 group (200 mmol/L HS group, 1 L 200 mmol/L HS contained 955 mL LR and 45 mL 10% NaCl) and HS400 group (400 mmol/L HS group, 1 L 400 mmol/L HS contained 846 mL LR and 154 mL 10% NaCl), with 8 rats in each group. A 30% total body surface area (TBSA) III degree scalded model was reproduced by scalded on the back with 98 centigrade boiling water for 12 seconds, whereas those in the sham group were exposed to 37 centigrade water without liquid resuscitation. Rats in the three drug intervention groups were resuscitated with LR, 200 mmol/L HS and 400 mmol/L HS by caudal vein according to the Parkland formula, respectively. All rats were sacrificed at 8 hours after scald injury to harvest abdominal aorta blood and lung tissues. Interleukins (IL-6, IL-10 and IL-17) in serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Samples from the lung tissue were used to measure malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels by ultraviolet spectrophotometer. Expressions of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) and extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) in the lung were determined by Western Blot. The lung tissue was stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE), and the pathological changes were observed with a light microscope., Results: Compared with the sham group, the lung tissues in the LR group were damage obviously, which accompanied with more inflammatory cell infiltration, cell edema and pulmonary septum thickening, and the levels of IL-6, IL-10, IL-17 in serum and MDA content, the phosphorylation of p38MAPK and ERK1/2 in lung tissues were increased whereas the activity of SOD was decreased. Compared with the LR group, the lung injury was significantly alleviated, the levels of IL-6, IL-17 in serum and MDA content and the phosphorylation of p38MAPK and ERK1/2 were decreased, and the levels of IL-10 and SOD were increased in both HS groups with a dose-dependent manner. There were significant difference in above parameters between HS400 group and LR group [serum IL-6 (ng/L): 3.76±0.12 vs. 6.72±0.90, serum IL-10 (ng/L): 33.76±3.71 vs. 16.77±3.19, serum IL-17 (ng/L): 103.52±2.78 vs. 124.96±4.96, lung MDA (nmol/mg): 5.59±0.24 vs. 7.09±0.39, lung SOD (U/mg): 226.7±3.9 vs. 172.7±3.4, lung phosphorylation of p38MAPK (p-p38MAPK)/p38MAPK: 0.15±0.09 vs. 0.35±0.19, lung phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2)/ERK1/2: 0.27±0.01 vs. 0.70±0.01, all P < 0.01]., Conclusions: HS protected against lung injury induced by severe burns in rats with a dose-dependent manner, and it was better than LR, and its possible mechanism was related with reducing the expression of p38MAPK and ERK1/2 pathway in lung tissue, increasing the level of anti-inflammatory cytokines and decreasing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, thus inhibiting excessive inflammation and oxidative stress injury in lung.

Introduction: Debridement and control of wound drainage are critical for managing patients with extensive traumatic wounds because wound infection can result in sepsis and further complications., Case Report: The authors report the case of a 19-year-old woman with an extensive crush/degloving injury to her right lower limb that was treated with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) with a reticulated open-cell foam dressing. The patient received 2 treatments of sharp debridement and vacuum drainage using wall suction and polyvinyl alcohol dressings. Her respiratory failure, sepsis, and septic shock continued to worsen, and she could not tolerate anesthesia. On post admission day 9, after simple debridement where only superficial necrosis tissue was debrided without anesthesia, NPWT was applied for 5 days and removed about 8500 mL of exudate the first day and 6000 mL on the second. After 5 days, her wound began to improve, granulation tissue formed, no necrotic tissues were visible, and vital signs were stable. On day 14, she underwent anesthesia, surgical debridement, and application of NPWT for an additional 5 days. Following autologous skin grafting on day 19, she was removed from the ventilator (which was started on day 3). The extensive wound was effectively closed; she recovered satisfactorily. There was no patient follow-up., Conclusions: In this case, NPWT, in continuous mode at -125 mm Hg, effectively removed exudate after simple debridement in a patient who could not tolerate anesthesia.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of Meek technique skin graft in treating exceptionally large area burns., Methods: The clinical data were retrospectively analysed from 10 cases of exceptionally large area burns treated with Meek technique skin graft from April 2009 to February 2010 (Meek group), and were compared with those from 10 cases of exceptionally large area burns treated with the particle skin with large sheet of skin allograft transplantation from January 2002 to December 2006 (particle skin group). In Meek group, there were 8 males and 2 females with an average age of 34.5 years (range, 5-55 years), including 6 cases of flame burns, 2 cases of hot liquid burns, 1 case of electrical burn, and 1 case of high-temperature dust burn. The burn area was 82.6% +/- 3.1% of total body surface area (TBSA). The most were deep II degree to III degree burns. The time from burn to hospitalization was (3.5 +/- 1.3) hours. In particle skin group, there were 8 males and 2 females with an average age of 36.8 years (range, 18-62 years), including 5 cases of flame burns, 2 cases of hot liquid burns, and 3 cases of gunpowder explosion injury. The burn area was 84.1% +/- 7.4% of TBSA. The most were deep II degree to III degree burns. The time from burn to hospitalization was (4.9 +/- 2.2) hours. There was no significant difference in general data between 2 groups (P > 0.05)., Results: The skin graft survival rate, the time of skin fusion, the systemic wound healing time, and the treatment cost of 1% of burn area were 91.23% +/- 5.61%, (11.14 +/- 2.12) days, (38.89 +/- 10.36) days, and (5113.28 +/- 552.44) yuan in Meek group, respectively; and were 78.65% +/- 12.29%, (18.37 +/- 4.63) days, (48.73 +/- 16.92) days, and (7386.36 +/- 867.64) yuan in particle skin group; showing significant differences between 2 groups (P < 0.05)., Conclusion: Meek technique skin graft has good effect in treating exceptionally large area burns with the advantages of high survival rate of skin graft, short time of skin fusion, and low treatment cost of 1% of burn area.
