Objective:To determine the effect of hypoxic stress on glioma cell XBP1 expression, the relationship between XBP1 expres-sion and sugar metabolism, the influence of XBP1 repression on the survival rate of glioma cells under normoxia and hypoxia, and the influence of XBP1 on glioma cell glycolysis. Methods:We tested XBP1 activation in human glioma cell lines cultured under normoxia and hypoxia. XBP1 expression was repressed with siRNA technology. Cells were treated with oxidative phosphorylation inhibitor. We then detected the variation in cell apoptosis, sugar metabolism mode, and cell apoptosis and glycolysis products under normoxia and hypoxia. Results:XBP1 activation increased under hypoxia. Silencing XBP1 expression reduced glioma cell survival level, ATP and lactic acid production, and glucose consumption under hypoxia. After inhibiting cell oxidative phosphorylation, XBP1 repression significantly reduced the survival level of glioma cells. Conclusion:Hypoxia can activate XBP1 in glioma cells. Under hypoxia, XBP1 silencing de-presses cell activity and glycolysis. Glycolysis of glioma cells under hypoxia depends on XBP1 activation.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of external fixator and locking plate internal fixation via middle volar minimally invasive approach in the treatment of distal radius fractures.Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted on the clinical data of 51 patients with distal radius fractures admitted from October 2014 to August 2016.There were 21 males and 30 females,aged 41-78 years (mean,57 years).According to the random number table method,the patients were divided into minimally invasive plate group (25 cases) which adopted locking plate internal fixation via middle volar minimally invasive approach and external fixator group (26 cases) with closed reduction of external fixator.The AO classification of the fractures in minimally invasive plate group was as follows:A2 in four cases,A3 in five cases,B1 in four cases,B2 in two cases,B3 in seven cases,and C1 in three cases.The AO classification of the fractures in external fixator group was as follows:A2 in three cases,A3 in six cases,B1 in five cases,B2 in three cases,B3 in seven cases,and C1 in two cases.The total incision length,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,preoperative and postoperative radial height,palmar inclination angle,ulnar deviation angle,pain visual analogue score (VAS),wrist active motion range (palmar flexion,dorsal extension,pronation,supination,radial deviation,and ulnar deviation),relative contralateral grip force,and wrist function Mayo score were compared between the two groups.Results There were no significant differences in the total length of incision,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,VAS 3 d after operation,radius height,ulnar deviation,and radius height,palm inclination and ulnar deviation at 14 months after operation between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The palmar inclination was (9.6-± 0.6) ° in the minimally invasive plate group and (7.9 ± 0.6) ° in the external fixator group (P ＜ 0.05).The wrist active motion range (palmar flexion,dorsal extension,pronation,supination,radial deviation,and ulnar deviation) and relative contralateral grip strength 3 months after operation in the minimally invasive plate group were significantly better than those in the external fixator group (P ＜ 0.05).However,the Mayo score of wrist function at 14 months after operation was (88.7 ± 12.7)points in the minimally invasive plate group and (88.7 ± 13.1)points in the external fixator group (P ＞ 0.05).Minimally invasive plate group showed median nerve stimulation in one case.External fixator group showed redness around the nail,increased temperature,and increase secretion of the infection in one case,and joint stiffness in one case after external fixation removal.But all symptoms were improved or resolved after treatment.Conclusion Both locking plate via minimally invasive approach and external fixator can achieve good results in the treatment of distal radius fractures,but the former method has better effects on early functional recovery than the latter one.

During growth,invasion and metastasis,tumor cells undergo endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS)under hypoxia,hy-poglycemia and other environmental stresses.In response to ERS,tumor cells induce unfolded protein response(UPR).PERK signa-ling pathway as a key pathway to activate UPR can promote survival,proliferation,invasion and protection of tumor cells by increasing tumor tolerance to adverse microenvironment,inducting angiogenesis,inducing autophagosome formation and activating apoptotic signal molecules.Tumor cells are induced apoptotic and autophagic death when UPR reaches a certain extent.

Objective: To observe the immunoreaction of offspring mice by ovalbumin (OVA) re-exposure after their mothers exposed to OVA during pregnancy. Method: A prospective controlled study was conducted to observe mice after repeated OVA exposures at 6-8 weeks.Their mothers were exposed to OVA during different stages of pregnancy.The symptoms were recorded and scored.The levels of OVA-specific IgE in serum, interferon-γ(IFN-γ) and interleukin-4(IL-4) in supernatant of spleen primary lymphocytes in vitro were measured by ELISA.The results were analyzed by single factor analysis of variance or rank sum test. Result: All the mice in each group had acute diarrhea.The diarrhea happened earliest (2 days) and most severe in the late pregnancy group (early pregnancy group 7.0±1.0; middle pregnancy group: 7.1±1.1; late pregnancy group: 9.9±2.2, P<0.01). The levels of absorbance of OVA-specific IgE in the pregnancy groups were higher than those of the control group.The absorbance of OVA-specific IgE in late pregnancy group was the highest (control: 0.27±0.06; early pregnancy group: 0.51±0.13; middle pregnancy group: 0.50±0.09; late pregnancy group: 0.63±0.13, P<0.01). There was no significant change in IFN-γ expression in cultured supernatant of spleen lymphocytes in each group (control: (133±7) pg/ml; early pregnancy group: (133±4) pg/ml; middle pregnancy group: (134±6) pg/ml; late pregnancy group: (132±4) pg/ml, all P value >0.05). The expression of IL-4 in the experimental groups was higher than that in the control group, especially in late pregnancy group(control: (25.3±2.4) pg/ml; early pregnancy group: (32.4±4.4) pg/ml; middle pregnancy group: (35.0±5.4) pg/ml; late pregnancy group: (47.1±5.8) pg/ml; P value all<0.01). Conclusion The allergic reaction of the OVA re-exposure progeny whose mothers were exposed to OVA in the late pregnancy period was most severe, suggesting that late pregnancy period might be the high risk stage of intrauterine sensitization, or"window period".

ObjectiveTo understand the acceptance of sex-related behaviors， sexual safety awareness， and refusal skills among junior high school students and conduct association analysis， and to provide a reference for the implementation of sex and reproductive health education for adolescents. MethodsA questionnaire survey related to knowledge of sexual and reproductive health was conducted among 478 students from two junior high schools in Jiading District， Shanghai. ResultsThe pass rate for sex and reproductive health knowledge among junior high school students was only 36.6%， with acceptance rates for dating， watching pornography， engaging in sexual behavior， pregnancy， and artificial abortion at 24.5%， 11.1%， 5.6%， 4.8%， and 5.9%， respectively. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that students who passed the sexual and reproductive health assessment had a significantly lower acceptance rate of sex-related behaviors than those who did not （aOR=1.666， 95%CI： 1.124‒2.470， P=0.011）. Adolescents with a passing knowledge of sexual and reproductive health （aOR=1.607， 95%CI： 1.060‒2.438， P=0.026） or a lower acceptance of sex-related behaviors （aOR=4.199， 95%CI： 2.804‒6.289， P<0.001） had higher awareness of sexual safety. Adolescents with a passing knowledge of sexual and reproductive health （aOR=1.691， 95%CI： 1.066‒2.684， P=0.026）， a lower acceptance of sex-related behaviors （aOR=1.756， 95%CI： 1.130‒2.729， P=0.012）， or higher awareness of sexual safety （aOR=2.872， 95%CI： 1.826‒4.516， P<0.001） had stronger skills to refuse sex-related behaviors. ConclusionSexual and reproductive attitudes， sexual safety awareness， and refusal skills for sex-related behaviors among junior high school students in Jiading District need to be improved. Schools should focus on cultivating adolescents’ sexual and reproductive knowledge and related skills， and advocate for relevant institutions to provide appropriate sexual healthcare services to meet their needs for reproductive healthcare.

Objective     To investigate the safety and feasibility of day surgery for patients with palmar hyperhidrosis based on the principles of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). Methods     We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic thoracic sympathicotomy (ETS) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from March 2020 to December 2021. Patients were divided into a day surgery group and a conventional group according to their perioperative management methods. The patients in the day surgery group underwent an optimized perioperative procedure under the guidance of ERAS, and were ventilated with a laryngeal or face mask during the operation. The patients in the conventional group completed the preoperative examination, operation and postoperative observation according to the conventional procedures, and were intubated with a single-lumen endotracheal tube. The demographic characteristics, operation time, hospital stay, postoperative complications, and hospitalization cost were compared between the two groups. Results     Finally 172 patients were collected, including 90 males and 82 females, with an average age of 25.97±7.43 years. There were 86 patients in each group. All patients ceased suffering from palmar sweating after surgery. No patient experienced massive bleeding or conversion to thoracotomy. There was no statistical difference in operation time between the two groups (P=0.534). Patients in the day surgery group were discharged within 24 hours. The average hospital stay in the conventional group was 2.09±0.41 days. Incidence of postoperative respiratory complications, and the hospitalization cost of the day surgery group were significantly lower than those of the conventional group (P<0.001). The satisfaction rate in both groups was greater than 95%. Conclusion     Day surgery for patients with palmar hyperhidrosis based on the principles of ERAS is safe and feasible, which can reduce postoperative complications, shorten the length of hospital stay and save the cost of hospitalization.
