4 female Wistar rats,weighing 287.5?21.7 gms,about 7～7.5 months old,were used.Using ~3H-TdR and ~(14)C-TdR as labels, double labelling method was employed. The dose of ~3H-TdR used was 1 ?Ci/gm body weight and that of ~(14)C-TdR used was 0.125 ?Ci/gm body weight. Bone marrow smears of both femurs were made and autoradiographs were coated with No. 4 liquid nuclear emulsion.The following results were obtained:In erythropoietic series: Nc/N_H=5.0?1.0, LI=62.3?17.9％, MI=3.4?1.9％. According to the above figures, by calculation, we obtained the cell cycle time and the duration of 4 phases as follows: TG_1≤4.3 hrs,Ts=5.0 hrs, TG_2≥1.0 hr, Tm=0.4 hr and Tc=10.7 hrs.In neutrophilic granulopoietic series: Nc/N_H=3.9?0.9, LI=45.3?5.3％, MI=3.3?1.4％. According to the above figures, the following parameters of the cycle. were obtained as follows: TG_1≤5.6 hrs, Ts=3.9 hrs, TG_2≥1.0 hr, Tm=0.4 hr and Tc=10.9 hrs.There was no obvious difference of Tc between the erythropoietic series, and theneutrophilic granulopoietic series in rats, but significant difference of Tc between them in mice.

By using double labelling methods with ~3H-TdR and ~(14)C-TdR, autoradiographs were prepared in young (40 days old) and in old (16 months old) male LACA mice and in adult (7～7.5 months old) female Wistar rats to observe the cell cycle time and relevant parameters of dorsal skin and both testes.The following results were obtained:1. In young and old mice, duration of cell cycle (Tc) and relevant parameters of epidermis were as follows respectively: labeling index (LI)=1.0 and 1.5％; mitotic index (MI)=0.4 and 0.4%; duration of DNA synthesis (Ts)=3.5 and 4.2 hours; Tc=20.3 and 17.5 days.In adult female rats, they were 3.0%, 0.3%, 4.7 hours and 8.3 days respectively. Tc of rat epidermis was obviously shorter than that of mouse epidermis (P0.50).

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors associated with macrovascular disease in patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes. MethodsAccording to arterial intima-media thickness(IMT)measured by color duplex ultrasonography,232 cases of newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were divided into two groups:one group were 95 cases with macrovascular disease(MD),and the other group were 137 cases without macrovascular disease (non-MD).Then various clinical data between the two groups were compared and the correlated risk factors for macrovascular disease were analyzed. Results (1)95 patients(40.9%)showed macrovascular disease in 232 patients.(2)Age,BMI,SI,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,TC,LDL-C,CRP and 24h UmAlb were significantly higher in MD group compared with those in non-MD group(all P＜0.05);But ISI was significantly lower in MD group compared with that in non-MD group(P＜0.05).(3)Pearson correlation analysis showed that risk factors were old age,BMI,smoking,higher systolic blood pressure,higher diastolic blood pressure,TC,LDL-C,CRP and microalbuminuria. ConclusionMacrovascular disease was related to many factors.It was important to control some risk factors earlier for preventing the happening and progress of macrovascular disease.

Objective:To analyze clinical and histopathological characteristics of infantile congenital melanocytic nevi (ICMN) .Methods:Clinical and pathological data were collected from 126 infants with confirmedly diagnosed congenital melanocytic nevi in Department of Dermatology, Xijing Hospital from January 2015 to January 2020, and were retrospectively analyzed. Chi-square test was used for comparisons of enumeration data.Results:Among the 126 patients with ICMN, 68 were males and 58 were females; 109 (86.5%) presented with skin lesions at birth; 73 (57.9%) were 2 - 3 years old at the first clinic visit. The skin lesions occurred on the head and face (76 cases, 60.3%) , trunk (24 cases, 19.1%) or extremities (26 cases, 20.6%) . There were 36 (28.6%) patients with small congenital nevi, 68 (54.0%) with M1-type medium-sized nevi, 13 (10.3%) with M2-type medium-sized nevi and 9 (7.1%) with giant nevi. Of 126 cases of ICMN, 121 (96.0%) had solitary lesions, 5 (4.0%) had multiple lesions, 44 (34.9%) had nevi with coarse hairs, 15 (11.9%) had nevi complicated by papules or hyperplastic nodules, and 6 (4.8%) had satellite lesions. Pathological subtypes included compound nevus (120 cases, 95.2%) , intradermal nevus (4 cases, 3.2%) , and junctional nevus (2 cases, 1.6%) . Under the microscope, the depth of the skin lesions was < 1 mm in 38 (30.1%) cases, 1 - 2 mm in 61 (48.4%) and > 2 mm in 25 (19.8%) , and 45 (35.7%) cases showed nevus cells infiltrating the subcutaneous fat layer or deeper tissues. Among the 126 ICMN lesions, common pathological features included nevus tissue maturation (100%, 2 cases of junctional nevi were excluded) , pigment granules in the stratum corneum (53 cases, 42.1%) , disordered/asymmetric distribution of nevus cells (80 cases, 63.5%) , scattered epidermal nevus cells (91 cases, 72.2%) , pagetoid spread of epidermal nevus cells (67 cases, 53.2%) , melanophages in the dermis (71 cases, 56.4%) , and nevus cells distributed along hair follicles/sebaceous glands (82 cases, 65.1%) . Special pathological features included nevus cells embedded in the vascular/lymphatic vessels (42 cases, 33.3%) , nevus cell lysis (45 cases, 35.7%) , fibromatous changes (25 cases, 19.8%) , involvement of the arrector pilli muscles (31 cases, 24.6%) , and mast cell infiltration (30 cases, 23.8%) . Pathological patterns of ICMN with different clinical features: the incidences of infiltration depth > 2 mm, pigment granules and columnar pigment granules in the stratum corneum were significantly higher in the giant nevi than in the small and medium-sized nevi ( χ2 = 7.93, 10.76, 5.89 respectively, all P < 0.05) ; the incidences of infiltration depth > 2 mm, epidermal spongiosis with scattered nevus cells, nevus cell nests distributed along the hair follicles/sebaceous glands, fibromatous changes and mast cell infiltration were significantly higher in the skin lesions with coarse hairs than in those without ( χ2 = 28.29, 8.11, 6.22, 7.92, 8.19 respectively, all P < 0.01) ; the incidences of pagetoid spread of epidermal nevus cells and atypical nevus cells were significantly higher in the skin lesions with papules/hyperplastic nodules than in those without papules/hyperplastic nodules ( χ2 = 4.92, 6.30 respectively, both P < 0.05) . Conclusions:The clinical and histopathological characteristics of ICMN are unique, and atypical nevus cells are common in ICMN. The diagnosis and treatment of ICMN need to be based on the combination of clinical and pathological characteristics.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the regularity of relative correction factor (RCF) in multi-components by single marker (QAMS). METHODS:With the source of CNKI,literature retrieval was used to collect the relevant documents of multi-compo-nents by single marker (QAMS) and extract the calculated values by quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker QAMS and measured values by external standard method (ESM),SPSS 19.0 software was used to calculate the percentage value (RSD,%) of relative standard deviation between calculated values and measured values,and the correlation between RSD and RCF was analyzed by drawing a scatter plot. RESULTS:Most of RCF values distributed in the range of >0.62-1.53,accounting for 76.7%to all data. Calculated values and measured values showed high similarity in this range and the RSD<3.0%data account-ed for 88.8% to all data,which had good credibility. Meanwhile,the similarity of calculated values and measured values was influ-enced by the differences of structure and physicochemical property of parent nucleus between other components under measured and internal references. The high degree of similarity between calculated values and measured values were decisive by very similar struc-tures of parent nucleus;the low degree was decisive by discrepant structures;and the low degree was also decisive by very similar structures and discrepant physicochemical property of parent nucleus. CONCLUSIONS:RCF will affect the credibility of content de-termination results for components under measured in QAMS,it is necessary to establish database of RCF,RSD and related param-eters.

Objective To study the expression of co-stimulatory molecules, GL50-ICOS, in thyroid tissue of patients with Graves' disease (GD) and to explore their relationship with the immune pathogenesis of GD.Methods RT-PCR, Western blot, immunohistochemistry were applied to detect the expression of GL50-ICOS in thyroid of GD. Thyrocytes were cultured in the absence or presence of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The expression of GL50 on thyroid follicular cells (TFC) was further measured by flow cytometry. Results (1) In GD patients,the percentage of CD4+ CD28- T cells was significantly increased as compared with the control healthy individuals. The expression of co-stimulatory molecule ICOS was up-regulated. (2) The mRNA level of ICOS was significantly increased in GD patients than that in nontoxic goiter(NTG) patients(P＜0.01). (3)Compared with NTG control group, the GL50 protein expression was much higher in thyroid tissues of GD patients (P ＜0.01). (4)The results of immunohistochemistry showed that GL50 expression was observed in all GD thyroid tissues, while no expression of GL50 was detected in NTG thyroid tissues(P＜0. 01). (5) The expression of GL50on primary cultured thyroid follicular cells was significantly increased under the stimulatation of pro-inflammatory cytokines in vitro. Conclusion GL50-ICOS is expressed abnormally in thyroid tissue of patients with GD.

Purpose: This study identified risk factors for neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) through multidimensional analysis of the medical records of patients, aiming to reduce the incidence of NLUTD, improve prognosis, and facilitate rehabilitation. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, patients with AIS were recruited from two tertiary general hospitals in Shenzhen, China, from March 2021 to October 2023. Patients were divided into NLUTD and non-NLUTD groups based on the presence and absence of NLUTD, respectively. Comparative analysis was performed using the Mann–Whitney U and chi-square tests, with significant variables being included in logistic regression analysis. Results: Of the 652 participants enrolled in this study, 119 participants (18.3%) developed NLUTD. Bivariate analysis showed that 39 of 54 screened factors exhibited a significant correlation (p<0.05) with the incidence of NLUTD after AIS. Significant variables identified through logistic regression analysis included Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, anemia, aphasia, pneumonia, brainstem involvement, multiple lesions, urine clarity (CLA), random venous blood glucose (GLU) and hemoglobin (HGB) levels, and white blood cell (WBC) count. Conclusions A total of 11 risk factors for NLUTD were identified in this study. This finding provides valuable guidance for reducing the incidence of NLUTD after AIS and improving the quality of life of patients.

Objective:To analyze clinical and histopathological features of malignant transformation of congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) .Methods:From January 2010 to September 2020, 98 patients with clinically and pathologically confirmed malignant transformation of CMN were enrolled from Xijing Hospital, Air Force Medical University, and their clinical and histopathological features as well as immunohistochemical staining and genetic testing results were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 98 patients with malignant transformation of CMN, 45 (45.9%) were males and 53 (54.1%) were females. Their ages ranged from 4 months to 86 years, with a median age of 47 years. The lesions were located on the trunk (34 cases, 34.7%), limbs (25 cases, 25.5%), acra (24 cases, 24.5%), head, face and neck (13 cases, 13.3%), and mucosa (2 cases, 2.0%). Among the 98 patients, 95 (96.9%) had a history of obvious changes in lesions (sudden enlargement, newly developed papules, ulceration, itching, or pain), and the interval time from obvious changes in lesions to diagnosis varied from 2 weeks to 5 years; among the 95 cases, the average age at the onset of obvious changes in lesions was 46 years, and the changes of lesions occurred before the age of 18 years in 4 cases (4.1%), occurred between the age of 18 and 40 years in 35 (35.7%), and occurred after the age of 40 years in 56 (57.1%). In addition, 55 (57.9%) patients experienced a sudden enlargement of primary lesions, 52 (54.7%) developed ulcers in the primary lesions, 21 (22.1%) developed red or black papules or nodules on the surface of primary lesions, 4 (4.2%) developed subcutaneous masses, 2 (2.1%) had itching, and 1 (1.1%) only had pain. The remaining 3 (3.1%) patients experienced slow enlargement of primary lesions. Among the 98 cases of melanoma originating from CMN, 85 (86.7%) arose from small CMN, 11 (11.2%) from medium CMN, and 2 (2.0%) from large CMN. Histopathological examination showed no residual nevus cells in 86 (87.8%) cases, which only had characteristics of typical melanoma; residual nevus cells were only seen in 12 (12.2%) cases, and melanoma cells in the 12 cases all expressed HMB45, while residual nevus cells did not express HMB45 in 11 of 12 cases. Immunohistochemical staining for 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) was conducted in 7 cases, and 6 showed negative staining in tumor cells and positive staining in residual nevus cells. BRAF gene detection was conducted in lesional tissue specimens from 22 patients, and it was negative in 1 case of melanoma originating from large CMN and 10 (47.6%) cases of melanoma from small CMN, and positive in 11 (52.4%) cases of melanoma from small CMN.Conclusion:The malignant transformation of CMN mostly occurred on the trunk, and was commonly observed in patients aged over 40 years; most patients had a history of obvious changes (sudden enlargement, newly developed papules, ulceration, etc.) in lesions before diagnosis, and a few patients only felt itching or pain in lesions; immunohistochemical staining of HMB45 and 5hmC could help to distinguish melanoma cells from dermal nevus cells; confirmation of the diagnosis of malignant transformation in CMN should be closely combined with clinical and histopathological results.
