Objective To explore the expression of HIF-2? and VEGF in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and their correlation with angiogenesis and metastasis of renal cell carcinoma. Methods Expression of HIF-2? and VEGF were assessed by immunohistochemical straining in 48 cases of renal cell carcinomas. Results In 48 cases of renal cell carcinomas, positive rate of HIF-2? was 70.8%. Strong expression of HIF-2? was observed in 12 cases, moderate in 10 cases, weak in 12 cases and no expression in 14cases.There was a significant difference in HIF-2? expression between carcinoma tissues and control tissues (P

In order to investigate the effects of vector-based hairpin small interference RNA (shRNA) on the reversal of multi-drug resistance (mdr) of A2780/Taxol cells, a novel vector pEGFP-H1/mdr1 containing mdr1-shRNA targeting at position 2943-2963 of mdr1 was designed and synthesized. Subsequently, A2780/Taxol cells were transfected with pEGFP-H1/mdr1, and the expression of mdr1 mRNA and P-gp was detected by using RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. MTT was used to measure the 50% inhibition concentration (IC(50)) of Taxol to A2780/Taxol cells. The results showed that at the 24th and 48th h after transfection, the expression of mdr1 mRNA was decreased to (52.1+/-1.0)% and (0.01+/-1.7)%, and that of P-gp decreased to (88.3+/-2.1)% and 0%, respectively. At the 48th h after transfection, the relative reversal rate of A2780/Taxol cells to Taxol was 69.54%. In vivo, the nude mice xenografts were injected with pEGFP-H1/mdr1, and then administrated Taxol. The tumor volume in pEGFP-H1/mdr1-transfected group was significantly reduced as compared with that in blank control group or pEGFP-H1-transfected group (807.20+/-103.16 vs 1563.78+/-210.54 or 1480.78+/-241.24 mm(3), both P<0.01). These results suggested that transfection of pEGFP-H1/mdr1 could efficiently down-regulate the expression of mdr1 mRNA and P-gp in A2780/Taxol cells, and effectively restore the sensitivity of A2780/Taxol cells to Taxol both in vitro and in vivo.

Objective To develop a reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography ( RP ̄HPLC) method determining the related substances and levidipine. Methods The Welchrom C18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm) was used with Octadecylsilane bonded silica as a filler.The mobile phase consisted of methanol ̄ethanol ̄water (40:20:40),at the flow rate of 1 mL.min-1 in an isocratic elution,the temperature was at 45 ℃ , and the detective wavelength was 240 nm. Results Levidipine could be separated from all impurities and intermediates within the concentration range from151 to 604 ng.mL-1 , which had a satisfied linear relationship (r= 0.999 9) with a regression equation of Y= 0.049 9X+0.597 9.The LOQ of detection was 31.9 ng.mL-1 . Conclusion The developed method is specific,sensitive,easy and fast to operate,which is suitable for detecting levidipine and its related impurities.

Objective:
To investigate of e-cigarette use among middle school students in Hainan Province, so as to provide insights into tobacco control among adolescents.
Methods:
Students were randomly sampled using a multistage stratified cluster random sampling method from three junior high schools, two high schools and one vocational high school in Hainan Province from July to October, 2021. Participants' basic features, use of e-cigarettes, e-cigarette advertising exposure were collected using the Questionnaire on Tobacco and Alcohol Prevalence among Chinese Adolescents in 2021 prepared by Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Following data weighting, students' use of e-cigarettes and exposure to e-cigarette advertisements were descriptively analyzed, and factors affecting current use of e-cigarettes were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 8 561 questionnaires were allocated, and 8 538 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 99.73%. The respondents included 4 470 boys (52.35%) and 4 068 girls (47.65%), and there 4 367 junior high school students (51.15%), 3 482 high school students (40.78%), and 689 vocational high school students (8.07%). The rate of e-cigarette use was 25.01% and the rate of current e-cigarette use was 4.68%. There were 2 728 respondents with exposure to e-cigarette advertising during the past 30 days, and the number of weighted individuals were 210 932 (32.60%). The route of e-cigarette advertising exposure mainly included point-of-sale (21.59%), stores (13.61%), and shopping websites (9.01%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified region (OR=0.610, 95%CI: 0.482-0.772), males (OR=1.332, 95%CI: 1.062-1.669), high school students (OR=0.376, 95%CI: 0.259-0.545), companion smoking (OR=6.645, 95%CI: 4.935-8.948) and advertising exposure (OR=3.229, 95%CI: 2.581-4.040) as factors affecting current use of e-cigarettes.
Conclusions
The use of e-cigarettes among middle school students is higher in Hainan Province than the national level, and exposure to e-cigarette advertisements may facilitate use of e-cigarettes. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision of e-cigarettes, strictly restrict e-cigarettes advertisements and promotions.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of total mesoesophageal excision and sanye lymph node dissection in the radical resection of esophageal carcinoma under thoracoscopy and laparoscopy,and to investigate its safety and feasibility, and to find a more reasonable and effective surgical treatment of esophageal carcinoma. Methods One hundred and twenty-six cases of esophageal cancer who underwent the minimally invasive surgery under thoracoscopy and laparoscopy for esophageal cancer in Central Hospital of Hengyang from October 2015 to September 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them,Sixty-four patients accepted total mesoesophageal excision and sanye lymph node dissection under thoracoscopy and laparoscopy (observation group ), Sixty-two cases accepted with conventional esophagectomy under thoracoscopy and laparoscopy ( control group) . The operation time, blood loss, indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube, postoperative drainage volume,postoperative hospitalization time,number of lymph node dissection,lymph node metastasis degree,perioperative complications of the two groups were analyzed and compared. The number of lymph node dissection and lymph node metastasis degree in different regions were compared between the two groups. The number of recurrence and death were recorded in the two groups. Results Compared with the control group,the operation time was longer in the observation group((264. 9±32. 9) min vs. (233. 5±30. 4) min,t= -5. 56,P<0. 001),but blood loss was less((152. 7±26. 4) ml vs. (235. 5± 30. 6) ml,t = 16. 27,P<0. 001). There was no significant difference in the indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube, postoperative drainage volume or postoperative hospitalization time between the two groups (P>0. 05). The number of lymph nodes in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ((32. 7±15. 5) pieces vs. (20. 9±11. 2) pieces,t = - 4. 93,P< 0. 001),and lymph node metastasis degree in the observation group was smaller than that of the control group ( 6. 7% vs. 9. 3%, χ2 = 7. 22, P < 0. 01) . There were no significant differences in perioperative complications such as pulmonary complications, arrhythmia, anastomotic fistula, chylothorax,hemorrhage,recurrent laryngeal nerve injury,tracheal injury and perioperative death (P>0. 05). Left and right recurrent laryngeal nerve,thoracic esophagus,celiac artery lymph node dissection of the number of observation group was higher than that of the control group ((4. 7 ± 3. 2) pieces vs. (1. 5 ± 1. 4) pieces, t= -7. 25;(6. 0±2. 7) pieces vs. (3. 1±1. 7) pieces,t = -7. 12;(5. 7± 2. 4) pieces vs. (3. 2± 1. 9) pieces,t= -6. 48;P<0. 001). Left and right recurrent laryngeal nerve,thoracic esophagus lymph node metastasis degree in the observation group was smaller than that in the control group (8. 7%(26/ 300) vs. 18. 1%(17/ 94),χ2= 6. 53;8. 9%(34/ 382) vs. 17. 9%(35/ 195),χ2 = 10. 04;P<0. 05) . There were no significant differences in the recurrence rate of tumor recurrence at 1 and 24 months after operation in the observation group and the control group(3 cases(4. 7%) vs. 4 cases(6. 5%),χ2 = 0. 92,P > 0. 05) . There were no deaths in the two groups. Conclusion Total mesoesophageal excision and three-field lymph node dissection in radical resection of esophageal carcinoma under thoracoscopy and laparoscopy is safe and feasible,the recent effect does not increase the surgical complications, but its long-term effect need a lot of long-term follow-up. A relatively thorough cleaning of the esophageal mesentery and its lymph nodes can minimize the tumor in the subendothelial micrometastasis,and is beneficial for the prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer.
