Objective To explore the reliability of patients' sensation of the need to urinate,and to investigate the optimal volume and duration of bladder filling and training method for the stability of bladder filling. Methods From 2014 to 2015,Fifty patients with pelvic tumor were divided into group A and group B,according to whether they had the history of diseases or surgery in the pelvis or urinary system. Both groups received training of the sensation of the need to urinate. The training required patients to drink a fixed volume of water every time they emptied the bladder. The bladder capacity was measured by a bladder scanner ( BladderScan BVI 9400) ,and a rating scale of the sensation of the need to urinate was completed at 30 min,45 min,1 h,and over 1 h when the patient sensed the limit for bladder capacity. The optimal volume and duration of bladder filling or optimal frequency for the training were explored. The paired t-test method was performed for the difference between the predictive value and the measured value,Pearson method was performed for correlation between the sensation of the need to urinate and the measured value. Results In the A and B groups,there was no significant difference between the predicted value and measured value ( A:predicted value and measured value P=0. 777,B:predicted value and measured value P=0. 061) ,suggesting that the measured value could be used to reflect the predictive value. Compared with group B,group A had a higher correlation between the sensation of the need to urinate and the measured value ( rA=0. 812, rB=0. 762).The correlation between the predictive value and the measured value became the highest at 45 min and 1 h ( r=0. 858 and 0. 916) ,and the corresponding bladder filling volume and score of the sensation of the need to urinate were 330-450 ml and 4-6,respectively. The correlation between the predictive value and the measured value increased with the frequency of the training ( r2=0. 914, r3=0. 917, r4=0. 930, r5=0. 951,r6=0. 962) . Conclusions Before radiotherapy,patients with pelvic tumor should received at least 4-6 rounds of the training of bladder filling. Patients should drink 800-1 400 ml of water every time they empty the bladder,and the optimal bladder filling volume and the reliable and stable sensation of the need to urinate will be achieved after 45 min-1 h. For the patients with the history of urinary system diseases or pelvic surgery,the bladder filling volume needs to be measured using a bladder scanner ( BladderScan BVI 9400) during the training before radiotherapy.

The methyl group plays an important role in the rational drug design. Introducing methyl into small molecules has become an important strategy of lead compound optimization. The application of methyl in drug design is reviewed in this paper. Methyl can modulate the physicochemical, pharmacodynamic, and pharmacokinetic properties by ortho effect, inductive effect, and conformational effect. It also improves the metabolic stability as a soft metabolic point. In addition, introducing methyl into drug molecules can also be applied as a strategy in new uses of old drugs and generate me-too drugs.

Background and purpose:It has been confirmed that homozygous deletion of p16/p15 gene and its co-deletion of p16/p15 genes were related to the occurrence, progress and prognosis of epithelial ovarian cancer. However, the mono-deletion and co-deletion of the genes has been detected with tissue but not in serum DNA of the epithelial ovarian cancer. In this article, we studied the relationship between homozygous deletion of p16/p15 gene and its co-deletion of p16/p15 genes in serum DNA of the epithelial ovarian cancer.Methods:Primers were used to amplify exon 2 of p16 and exon 2 of p15 gene by polymerase chain reaction. Homozygous deletions of the p16, p15 and co-deletion of p16/p15 genes were studied in either serum DNA of 165 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, their counterpart lymphocytes DNA, serum DNA of 25 benign ovarian cyst or of 15 health donors.Results:The homozygous deletion rates of either p15 or p16 gene were 27.9%(46/165)and 27.3%(45/165)serum DNA in the patients with epithelial ovarian cancer respectively, while the co-deletion rate of p16/p15 genes was 24.2% (40/165). However, the deletions of p15/p16 genes and its co-deletion were not found in serum DNA of the counterpart lymphocytes,25 benign ovarian cyst and 15 health donors (The P values were 0.000、0.000 and 0.000 respectively). The deletions of either p15 or p16 gene for the patients with stage Ⅰ~Ⅱ were 14.3%(5/35) and 11.4%(4/35), 33.3%(25/75) and 32.0%(24/75) for the patients with stage Ⅲ, 29.1%(16/55) and 30.9% (17/55) for stage Ⅳ, respectively. Although there was no significant differences among the groups, the deletion of p15 and p16 genes in the patients with advanced stage were higher than that with early stage. The deletion was not found to be associated with histopathology of epithelial ovarian cancer.Conclusions:Homozygous deletions of the p16, p15 genes and its co-deletion of p15/p16 genes were commonly found in the serum DNA of epithelial ovarian cancer and might be associated with clinical stage of the disease. It was suggested that detection with serum DNA may be used as a micro-invasive approach and the deletion of genes might served as biological markers for the development and prognosis of the patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.

Objective To investigate the photo-toxic effects of indocyanine green (ICG) based on photodynamic therapy (PDT) on vascular endothelial cells in vitro. Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were incubated with ICG with different concentrations in 96-well plate. According to the dose of ICG , they were divided into 6 groups as 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 μmol/L group. Each group consists of 8 wells, 4 of them were irradiated with a 810 nm laser of total power 24.0 J/cm2. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay 24 h after light irradiation. Morphological changes in cells were observed by light microscope. Results With the irradiation of 810 nm light , there was a significant decrease in relative cell viability in all groups except 0 μmol/L group (all P < 0). With the increase of concentration of ICG, the cell viability dropped rapidly (P < 0). Apoptotic changes can be seen in all groups except 0 μmol/L group and necrosis was the main change in cells of 200 μmol/L and 250 μmol/L group. Conclusion PDT with appropriate concentration of ICG has a strong inhibition to vascular endothelial cells in vitro and ICG-PDT may be a good new therapy for nevascularization.

Objective To investigate the clinical liver function protective effect of Shuganning injection for treatment of patients with drug poisoning.Methods One hundred and forty patients with drug poisoning consistent with thecriteria of enrollment into the study were admitted into the Department of Emergency Medicine in the First Hospital of Jilin University-the Eastern Division from January 2015 to August 2016, and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group by the computer generated random numbers, 70 cases in each group. After admission, all the cases were treated with routine treatment including detoxification, removal of toxin, organ protection, symptomatic and supporting treatment, etc. Based on the routine treatment, additionally, Shuganning injection 20 mL+ 10% glucose injection 250 mL, intravenous drip slowly, once a day was given in the observation group; the therapeutic course was 14 days in both groups. The changes of serum glutamic transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and total bilirubin (TBiL) levels were determined before and 7 and 14 days after treatment respectively to evaluate the situation of liver function in the two groups.Results Before treatment, there were no statistical significant differences in the levels of serum ALT, AST and TBil in the two groups (allP > 0.05); with the prolongation of treatment, the above-mentioned indexes of the two groups were gradually reduced, on the 14th day after treatment, they reached the lowest levels, and the degree of decrease in level on the 14th day in the observation group was more significant than that in the control group [ALT (U/L): 32.6±10.8 vs. 98.3±34.5, AST (U/L): 39.4±14.3 vs. 138.5±25.6, TBil (μmol/L): 4.8±1.7 vs. 13.2±2.3, allP < 0.05].Conclusion Shuganning injection has a protective effect on liver function in patients with drug poisoning.

Objective To analyze the association between mtDNA mutations and photodamagc after ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation. Methods Primary human skin fibroblasts (HSF) and primary human epi- dermal keratinocytes of adult (HEKa) were irradiated by sub-lethal doses of UVB thrice a day for 4-5 days. Thereafter, genomic DNA was extracted from irradiated cells and conventional PCR was applied to detect the frequency rates of 4977 bp and 3895 bp mtDNA deletion. To quantitatively analyze the mutation levels, SYBR Green real-time PCR method was performed. Results In both cell lines, the frequency rates and relative copy number of deletions increased with the cumulative doses of UVB exposure (P<0.05). The prevalence rate of 3895 bp deletion peaked 53.3% and and relative copy number reached (49.63±4.38)×10-5, showing a more intense response to the accumulation of UVB radiation than 4977 bp deletion. In HSF, the minimum cumu- lative dose of UVB radiation was 150 mJ/cm2 for the induction of 3895 bp deletion, and 200 mJ/cm2 for the induction of 4977 bp deletion. It seemed that mtDNA deletion was more readily to be induced by UVB radia- tion in HSF than in HEKa. Conclusions The development and accumulation of mtDNA mutation are intimately related with cumulated UVB dose received by skin cells, and the 3895 bp deletion is more reliable in moni- toring the photodamage caused by UV than 4977 bp deletion. Therefore, the 3895 bp deletion may serve as a biomarker for the detection of photodamagc in skin cells. HSF appear to have an increased susceptibility to UVB radiation, which results in a higher frequency and level of mtDNA mutations compared with HEKa.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of narrow-band imaging (NBI) system in the diagnosis and treatment of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) in children. Methods To retrospectively summarize the clinical data of 15 cases diagnosed with PJS, and compare with 70 cases diagnosed with juvenile polyp. And all of the polyps were further diagnosed with pathological examination and the histological type should be analyzed.The polyps of 15 children with PJS were diagnosed with the white light imaging (WLI) and the NBI system, respectively. The pit patterns of various polyps was observed with NBI. We made a comparison between the sensitivity and speciifcity of NBI and WLI in diagnosis of adenomatous polyps. Result 76 lesions in 15 cases were detected by the WLI and NBI system,including adenomatous polyps (12) and harmatoma (64) which were further diagnosed by pathological examinations.By using the NBI system,69.7% (53/76)PJS polyps (pit patterns)were diagnosed as typeⅠand 27.6%(21/76) PJS polyps were diagnosed as typeⅡorⅢ.By using the NBI system,the sensitivity and speciifcity for diagnosing PJS polyps were 83.3%(10/12)and 98.4%(63/64),which were obviously higher than those by using the WLI system (P<0.05). Conclusion Observation of pit patterns of polyps by the NBI system can help predict the pathological changes of PJS polyps.By using the NBI system,the sensitivity and speciifcity of the diagnosis of adenomatous polyps are higher than those by using the WLI system.It has guiding signiifcance to choose the method to remove a polyp.

Objective To assess the predictive value of short-latency somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) in the acute phase of stroke regarding functional recovery. Methods One hundred and fifty stroke patients were included. SSEPs were recorded on the first 7 days after stroke, and the patients were then stratified into groups with absent, abnormal and normal responses. Clinical state was determined according to the NIH stroke scale (NIHSS), the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA), the modified Barthel index (MBI) and the modified Rankin scale (MRS). SSEP was followed up at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Results The NIHSS and FMA scores were significantly different comparing any two groups or at different times in the same group. The median SSEP N20 latency and tibial nerve SSEP P40 latency during stroke were positively correlated with MRS scores 12 months later but negatively correlated with MBI results. The ADL results 12 months after stroke were used to evaluate functional recovery, and the prediction rate of the SSEP results alone was 40.8% , however the rate improved to 44.2% when SSEP results were combined with FMA scores and became 46.1% when SSEP, FMA and MRS results were all considered. Conclusion SSEP has independent predictive value regarding functional recovery after stroke. Combined assessment of initial FMA, MRS and SSEP substantially improves the predictive power for stroke prognosis.
