Objective To investigate the expression of NF-κB/p65 in nasal NK/T cell lymphomas. Methods Immunohistochemis-try and TUNEL were used to study the expression of NF-KB/p65 and cell apoptosis in 23 nasal NK/T cell lymphoma samples and 14 benign lymph node lesions. Results The NF-KB/p65 positive rates were 43.5% (10/23). The expression of NF-κB/p65 was negative correlated with apoptotic index among 23 nasal NK/T cell lymphomas(P <0. 05). The mean survival period in patients expressed NF-KB/p65 was sig-nificantly shorter than that in negative group(P <0. 05). Conclusions Apoptosis inhibited by overexpression of NF-κB/p65 might be in-volved in the development of nasal NK/T cell lymphoma. NF-κB/p65 expression may be an unfavorable prognostic factor of nasal NK/T cell lymphoma.

Objective To investigate the expression of XIAP and survivin and its significance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Methods The expression of XIAP and survivin were detected by immunohistochemistry in 49 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Results The positive rate of XIAP and survivin in cases of DLBCL were 40.8%(20/49) and 44.9%(22/49) respectively, which was higher than that of benign lymph node pathological changes (P <0.05). The expression of XIAP in DLBCL positively correlated with the expression of surviving (r =0.382, P =0.01). Moreover, the mean survival period in DLBCL expressing XIAP was shorter than the XIAP-negative group. Conclusion The up-regulation of expression of XIAP may play an important role in the development of DLBCL, and may cooperate with the expression of survivin in apoptosis pathway. Furthermore, the expression of XIAP might be a new unfavorable prognosis factor of DLBCL.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution of 2916 strains and analyze the antimicrobial susceptibility of major pathogens and to provide evidences for clinical therapy.METHODS The distribution,and the antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogens,which were collected and isolated from all of the clinical specimens from Jan 2007 to Oct 2008 in our hospital,were studied restrospectively.RESULTS Totally 2916 strains(except fungi) of pathogens were isolated from patients,among which 1857 strains were Gram-negative bacteria(63.7%) and 1056 strains were Gram-positive cocci(36.2%).The five common bacteria isolated from the specimens were Escherichia coli(14.3%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(11.8%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(10.7%),Staphylococcus aureus(10.5%),and Acinetobacter baumanii(8.7%).The ESBLs producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae accounted for 31.4% and 33.7%,respectively;meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA) accounted for 53.3% and meticillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci(MRCNS) accounted for 49.6%;vancomycin-resistant S.aureus was not isolated Gram-negative bacilli had the lowest resistance to carbapenems,and then to piperacillin/tazobactam(TZP) and cefoperazone/sulbactam(CFS),showing multi-resistantce.Gram-positive cocci were more sensitive to vancomycin,rifampicin,nitrofurantoin than to other antibacterials.CONCLUSIONS The drug resistance of the isolated bacteria is common.It is very important to monitor the drug resistance of the bacteria regularly,for guiding the clinic use of antibiotics rationally,and infection control.

Objective:
To investigate the motivation for weight self-management and analyze its influencing factors among pregnant women in a tertiary hospital in Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, so as to provide insights into body weight management during pregnancy.
Methods:
Pregnant women at ages of 18 years and older that underwent prenatal examinations in a tertiary hospital in Hohhot City from January to March, 2022 were sampled using a convenience sampling method. Subjects' age, height, weight, occupation, residence, monthly household income, history of gestation and childbirth and gestational period were collected, and the motivation for weight self-management was evaluated among pregnant women using a pregnancy weight management protein motivation scale. The factors affecting the motivation for weight self-management were identified among pregnant women using a multivariable linear regression model.
Results:
Totally 969 pregnant women were recruited, including 841 women at ages of <35 years (86.79%), 780 women with an educational level of diploma and above (80.50%), 794 women living in urban areas (81.94%), 729 primiparas (75.23%), 421 women in the third trimester of gestation (43.45%) and 758 women with pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) of <25 kg/m2 (78.22%). The mean score of motivation for weight self-management was 127.53±14.60 among the pregnant women. Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that an educational level of high school and below (β′=-0.201), unemployed/self-employed individuals (β′=-0.077), living in rural areas (β′=-0.059), monthly household income of <10 000 yuan (<5 000 yuan, β′=-0.238; 5 000 to 10 000 yuan, β′=-0.169), in the third trimester of gestation (β′=-0.135), pre-pregnancy BMI of 25 kg/m2 and higher (β′=-0.214) and reduced the motivation for weight self-management among pregnant women.
Conclusion
The motivation for weight self-management correlates with gestational period, pre-pregnancy BMI, residence, occupation, educational level and monthly household income among pregnant women.

Objective:To detect the levels of cytokines in peripheral blood of patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and analyze their significance in the clinical prognosis of children with chronic ITP.Methods:Thirty patients with chronic ITP who were treated in the Department of Pediatrics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical Univercity from October 2015 to October 2018 were followed and enrolled in the experimental group and 40 healthy children in the same hospital were enrolled in the healthy control group.The levels of interleukin-2(IL-2), interferon-γ(IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor(TNF), interleukin-4(IL-4), interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-10(IL-10) and interleukin-17A(IL-17A) in the experimental group and the healthy control group were detected by flow cytometry (CBA). The relationship between cytokines and prognosis of children with chronic ITP were analyzed.Results:Thirty patients with ITP were enrolled. The expressions of IL-2 and IL-17A in the experimental group before treatment were (7.86±3.90) ng/L and (10.45±12.35) ng/L, while those of IL-2 and IL-17A in the healthy control group were (3.11±2.41) ng/L and (2.97±7.04) ng/L. The levels of IL-2 and IL-17A in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-7.123, -5.582, all P<0.01). The expressions of IL-4 and IL-10 in the experimental group before treatment were (0.38±0.25) ng/L and (1.80±1.25) ng/L, while those of IL-4 and IL-10 in the healthy control group were (3.08±0.26) ng/L and (4.55±3.44) ng/L. The levels of IL-4 and IL-10 in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the healthy control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=8.400, 5.653, all P<0.01). The expressions of IL-6, TNF and IFN-γ in the experimental group before treatment were (7.30±9.16) ng/L, (4.85±7.60) ng/L and (7.68±20.41) ng/L, while those of IL-6, TNF and IFN-γ in the healthy control group were (5.44±4.18) ng/L, (1.97±0.37) ng/L, (4.81±17.71) ng/L. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05), and no significant difference in the levels of cytokines between the patients with chronic ITP before and 12 months after treatment ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The changes of T lymphocyte related cytokines are closely related to the pathogenesis and development of chronic ITP in children. There may be persistent immune dysfunction in children with chronic ITP. Dynamic monitoring of cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-17A, especially IL-17A, is helpful to judge the prognosis of ITP in children, and may be of guiding significance in evaluating clinical prognosis.
